Is Undead or Orc an easier first end-game event?

[jpinard]

I know Faction War is a bit easier as you can choose not to get involved much, but I'd like more time to get my forces suited up to deal with that situation. So choosing between Orc and Undead - which is more palatable?

It sort of depends on how you've built your team. If you prepare for one of them in particular then that will be the easier one.

But in general I would say Undead is easier as you can beat it pretty reliably with any team comp and the crisis specific contracts are easier than the Orc contracts.

Orc difficulty depends a lot on the quality of your range units.

IMHO the Greenskin Crisis is the most fun of all as it provides a mixed arms challenge with Goblin Archers teaming up with Orc Warriors. The contracts are varied and difficult.

Actually the noble war can give you lots of good gear that you might not be able to afford on your own at the time of the first crisis. So you can use the noble war to get suited up for the noble war.

Yes, lots of medium and heavy armor, tier 3 weapons, heavy crossbow, maybe even warbows if mercs are involved on enemy team.

In my last two playthrus it ended before I could gather more than one heavy suit or armor.

Undead is easier to manage without crazy risks i reckon. But best to try and get the undead trophy beforehand as it will help with geists
