Since you enjoy Total War, you may be interested in the guide I've written for TW Pharaoh Dynasties:

[aj_loves_u]

So much todo in the game now 🤣

[Suppenkoch]

Good to know, thanks.

I can confirm that you can perma-unlock Boris with Ostankya in the RoC campaign. I just did that, had not unlocked him before.

[Saint Scylla]

You're correct. Gotrek used to be a temporary Legendary Lord in Warhammer II and III, but since Update 5.0 (April 2024) he's now a permanent Legendary Hero, and so is Felix. This rule applies to both RoC and IE.

[Suppenkoch]

Thanks for clarification !

You wrote that Gotrek is a legendary Lord. In the Realms of Chaos campaign as Kislev I get both Gotrek and Felix as legendary Heros. Is it different between RoC and IE?
That G&F is available in RoC is missing in your Guide. Good work so far, best summary available.

[Saint Scylla]

As far as I know, Boris Ursus is the only permanent unlock. All other characters are locked when starting a new campaign.

[Suppenkoch]

Could you somewhere mention which Lords/Heroes are a permanent unlock and which are a per-campaign unlock ? That would be very useful!

[Saint Scylla]

Hidden heroes typically need to be unlocked in every playthrough.

[Slider]

I know Boris is an unlockable Legendary lord, once unlocked is there to be used, but what about the heroes ? once unlocked in the next game can I recruit them right away? or is always to unlock every game?

[crowbarthehamburger]

Ah that was it! Thanks lol

[Saint Scylla]

Make sure to open it in full screen rather than as a pop-up
