Empire on legendary requires that you get lucky, there's little skill involved.

You have to hope that your constant bribing of everyone around you to avoid war doesn't drain your economy to the extent that you can't build up your economy and get better units by turn 60 when chaos sends its 8 stacks.

Legendary is ultimately a waste of time because the morale bonuses the AI gets makes it so you will almost always have better results by simply autoresolving. I got 50 something turns into an Empire legendary campaign, had to savescum a ton but I owned all of Brettonia. Then chaos invasion began and with rank 20 Karl Franz and an army of silver/gold crossbow men and swordsmen was getting decisive victories on every battle I autoresolved.

I ended up quitting that campaign because it was clear legendary difficulty is more akin to Grand strategy than total war.

You're playing wrong

Declare war on Chaos at turn 1, initiate diplomacy turn 2. Immediately start raising another army once you take your province to go attack Chaos.

You'll be able to get lots more factions on side.

Calard of Garamont only exists within his own series and a small token mention in the End Times.

He would be better fit in a smaller DLC pack that added heroes from the Black Library like Gotrek & Felix.

Bretonnia doesn't really have any other named heroes. Mallobaude would never lead the Bretonnian army and would sooner see Bretonnia burned to the ground.

The Green Knight can be used in the TT and has been shown in the canon to lead the armies of Bretonnia when times are dire.

I think his inclusion is more plausible than you may think.

OFFICIAL LEGENDARY LORD TIER LIST:

>Fucks up entire units on their own, quite literally Gods amongst men tier
Archaon the Everfailure
Grimgor Ironhide
Karl Franz
Mannfred von Carstein
Kholek Suneater
Ungrim Ironfist

>Decent but you need to occasionally check in on them to make sure they aren't getting swarmed in a battle tier
Azhag the Slaughter (w/ Crown)
Sigvald the Magnificient
Thorgrim Grudgebearer

>Pretty poor as there are heroes, other lords, or other units that can essentially do the same job but better and more specialized tier
Heinrich Kemmler
Balthasar Gelt
Azhag the Slaughterer (without Crown)


Ungrim moved up due to popular demand, there will be no more changes until future patches change the balance.

They basically stopped Nagash and the Vampire shits from destroying the world, getting doomed to undeath was his last fuck you before he went down.

Regeneration doesn't revive new skellies, it simply adds a tiny tick of health to the current ones, it is only really helpful on large monsters.

Also, throwing Kemmler into melee is a pain because for all the benefits it gives him, the guy can get killed so damn easily. I love Kemmler in the lore, but he is not the Lichemaster he was meant to be in-game. He is simply a Necromancer Lord with a unique character model.

Nagash got defeated twice by the Nehekharans but the second time he managed to unleash the spell that killed them all and cursed them with undeath before Alcadizaar managed to escape and kill him. If Nagash had finished the ritual the entire world would have died though.

That's really the only effective way to play VC at the moment.

No shooting. Magic is mediocre, you want to rely more on buffs and -leadership spells on their units that are getting shaken. No artillery either.

All you can do is mob them with trash units and slam them with your decent cavalry. Your monster units are support units.

To be fair, would it have really been THAT much of a big deal for Karl to just say

>alright fine faggot, take a runefang, you can be an elector count, but otherwise fuck off and leave us alone until the elections come around

It would have saved the Empire a lot of head aches down the road even if it meant caving on some convictions or compromising in the face of Armageddon.

The leadership tree contains army upgrades, the ones for the vampires are pretty meh while the ones for greenskins are all pretty good such as the one that give ALL their units 15% weapon damage in close combat.

Combat depends, mages are generally bad in combat (the exception being vampires) so it's wasted on them but on captains and generals it's great.

For the Imperium it would be only Bi Hander though who have their own ability upgrade slot, so I just don't use them and spend the money on elite cavalry since the basic human infantrymen are pretty competent at not dying unlike for example Vampire fucks who upgrade Skeletons and shit with their clone of the ability which I agree is completely useless.

It's up to your own interpretation. In the Chaos campaign it's revealed he was working as an agent of Tzeentch but Tzeentch betrays him and the raven that follows him reveals itself to be the greater demon and kills him.

Whether that extends to the version of him in the other campaigns is debatable.
