dark elves and corruption

[=GGS=The Mammoth]

so..for a dark elf witch king with dark intend and a people that love to see torture etc and basicly have the chaos gods as their deity...why the hell cant they handle chaos corruption in any way or form? area above witch king starting position is favourable but has chaos corruption which takes the toll on the armies and the cities that i capture is basicly going rampant..the game tells me that there are ways to deal with corruption..well in this case there's NONE..even when i put slaves into it..it wont help a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing..

so here's my advice to players that want to play dark elf..just dont..the game will screw you over with you being locked down in 1 place, because attrition weakens your armies before they get close to an enemy, then the AI-enemy with forces still on full hp gets rid of your forces easily, and if you do get a city of the enemy you will need to raze it and do not by any means think of expanding..anything less snowy is bad for you, anything close to water is filled with chaos corruption and thus is bad for you..even if there is a green button with a smileyface next to the name but there is chaos..no thats bad for you.(your next door neighbour is the only one that you can have..after that good luck trying to get somewhere because atrittion and corruption are your main enemy's..not the AI)

funny thing tho: dark elf states that ''the strong will control the weak''...well with that stated..here's something stated by those who have the same idea's like the dark elves but at least have some way to deal with chaos corruption..(they embrace it) ''we cull the weak so the strong ramain''.. ''we revel in chaos because we are strong'', the last phrase...dark elves dont like chaos corruption, they are weak and should only be killed off because they falsily worship the chaos gods.

dark elves sound soooo tedious, and I thought food was annoying

...just raid stance your way through the wastes, or come at them from the south so you've got less far to go?

Dark Elves are by far the easiest faction to play. Corruption will disappear overtime, and faster with Temples of Khaine and Death Hags in the area.

Its really a minor nuisance. Perhaps you should try playing the tutorial before raging that you don't understand how the game works?

RTFM you know?

Dark Elves don't all worship the chaos gods. Only Morathi and the Cult of Pleasure worship Slaanesh. The bulk of them, including Malekith, still revere the same Elven gods as the High or Wood Elves.

The attrition is annoying, but you can mostly push through it. You should take the blue tree for movespeed, attrition reduction, and replenishment on a general to fight the Mung anyway.

Or just play Morathi, and spread it yourself.

Just as a note; the Dark Elves don't worship Chaos as a group. There are various Cults devoted to certain Dark Gods, but they actually worship the Cytherai. They share traits with the Dark Gods, but are seperate.

Even Morathi and the Cult's worship of Slaanesh was ret-conned out of the lore.

Dark Elves do not worship Chaos in any capacity anymore, and in fact helped fight against Chaos during the end times.

Morathi spreading Chaos corruption in TW2 is basically a throwback to earlier lore.

[Something completely different]

Malekith most certainly doesnt follow the chaos gods.

Also corruption isnt that bad: just eat your veggies, hold the death hags close, build your shrines, keep Morathi far away and murder any dirty marauder (and raze or occupy their northern camps) that even looks in your land and it shouldn't be much of an issue.

The corruption was annoying at first, but when you realise its the price for having the best units in game? its worth it.
