How do I recruit the Lord Of Change in the Chaos campaign?

You mean Sarthoreal bird thingy?

Its AI only or simply get a mod that gives him.

As of right now, I believe the only way to get a lord of change is through the Norscan campaign, as focusing on the "Eagle" allows you to recruit one. I'm not aware of how the chaos faction can acquire one. He's not a true lord that you can level and customize; he starts at max rank, already has his skills and talents chosen, though he automatically equips gear that is found in battle. Still a damn powerful caster though.

Oh :/

[Andrewbh2003]

he is a multiplayer exclusive lord available in multiplayer and custom battles as a legendary lord "and a meta defining OP one at that"

currently he is only seen in campaign as chaos when controlled by AI and when you play as chaos he is the final boss of the chaos questline

either way in campaign he is unplayable "for some reason idk its wierd we have 3 legendary lords not playable in campaign but perfectly fine in multiplayer aka boris the red duke and sarthoreal the ever-chicken"

Might be worth mentioning that you can get a Lord of Change as Norsca in their campain. Would be nice if WoC could get one too though.

Thanks, guys.

While I'm at it, and seeing as I've only just begun and can start over if need be, I was wondering: should I pass the minor Norscan settlements and head directly for their capitals? It seems counterproductive to raze their minors if I'm aiming to vassalize them once I hit their capitals.

You can make more norscan minors by hitting their smaller settlements, I think.

Actually, there is a mod that allows you to start a campaign as that Lord of Change. Search the game's Steam Workshop for "Faction Unlocker".

Have a nice campaign :)

Neither, wait for the AI Norscans to unit the entire territory while you focus elsewhere, than once the AI builds Norsca up to a reasonable level(a bunch of tier 4 major settlements at least) beat the AI faction leader in battle and take it all for yourself for free. At most unite your starting province to get a bit more out of it, but only if it's convenient to do so. Basically early Norsca campaign should be pretty slow, build up your initial stack, consisting mostly of Berserkers with some support units, javelins, wolves, whatever, and defend against the onslaught of order invaders, and raid+sack them in between onslaughts. There's really no reason to rush things, just level up Wulfrik and wait for the AI to sort Norsca out, after all the AI grows settlements way faster than you, so just let it.

With Throgg you won't have nearly as many order invaders so just beat up on your non Norscan neighbors, in fact you can just use 1 city as your sack city and just sack it turn after turn to level up Throgg and wait for Wulfrik or anyone else to unite Norsca. Yes it's very boring, but it's also the most effective way to play, and if you seek advice on the campaign you're clearly at the stage where you want to prioritize effective game play other anything else. So called "fun" game play should be reserved for people who already know what they're doing and thus can afford to play less efficiently while still being successful, if you're not yet capable of that than "fun" game play is a massive trap and will give you no fun nor accomplishment.

If you play as oracle of tzeench there is an event (i dont know how its triggered) that lets you change the leader of an army from a herold of tzeench to a lord of change
