Do This As Morathi For an INSANE start

The lore is that Mazdamundi's back in the dating pool and looking to mingle

Malekith actually has a line in WH 2 that says his mom likes the Lizardmen...for some reason.

Funnily enough, I started a campaign as Mazdamundi recently and found it surprisingly easy to get in Morathi's good graces. It's a shame she kept breaking any alliances we tried to maintain.

This reminds me when I was playing Chaos and had to ruin 1 more settlement to win, but right next to it was a strong army of Hexoatl, so I gave them I think 75k gold for peace and won. Very good tip for campaign, surely will make it easier

[devilsmessanger]

almost as funny as me playing Chaos dwarves joining Order Tide and helping Empire, Kislev and Cathay to defeat chaos ...

[turtlecheese]

I don't know anything about an insane start but by God did I use Morathi for an insane finish.

[txsicshooter]

Ehh Skeggi should be added to the game as a proper faction and that should be her 'natural' ally.

[lordsesshomaru]

Morathi is all I play, allying with Mazda buys me the time needed to fight Clan Gritus up until they offer a peace treaty. Then is the perfect opportunity to accept it, trespass their territory and destroy the defenseless Witchwood ASAP. Then occupy Vaul's Anvil, work towards a defensive alliance with Bleak Holds for the incoming Asur, await Malekiths arrival and aim to trade territory for Clar Karond. Mazda's territory has many ports needed for slaves, so invading becomes a priority for me eventually. And if I'm lucky Rakarth & I split the region & ally.

[HadamacikTheProphet]

even without historical relations (well I heard that Morathi is fond of Lizards but it was never explained further - maybe luckily) it would be possible. You can just kill off the Skaven and gift those regions to Mazdamundi in exchange for alliance and stuff. My only issue with this play is that N'kari won't like you anymore after this who should be your natural lore ally. But yeah, for effective gameplay this strategy is great.

I gave baatlesey this start option, am happy he made his vod finally

[doom]

I had a malakith campaign where I allied the dorfs on like turn 10, didn't play it through that far but worked quite well. only thing to keep in mind is chaos will hate you for it.

[PabloHedning]

I can recommend playing as Nelosi down there in the Petrified Forest at some point. It's a fun little underdog campaign, breaking the chains of the old ways and making a new empire.
Requires Mixus Unlocker of course.

Personally for Morathi you can break down the barracks and turn 2 rush Shades with slaves.
You have to manually fight the first small army and 2 minor settlements but then after that you get a shade stack within 10 turns and can easily roll over Hexoatl with magic and shades, then alliance with Skegi and push north.

Turn 105 and I have all of Ulthan, Nagaroth, Chaos wastes, Bretonnia, half of Athel loren, part of Norsca, some of the empire & Kislev and about a third of Cathay, just pumping out shade stacks with black arks to control ports, especially since enemies attack the port ignoring the black ark full of shades only to lose armies constantly, free slaves essentially.

To the point that I have 50k slaves and only spend like 100 a turn, spend 200 every 10 turns to give +10 control makes conquering and expanding easy

Dark Elves with healing crystal dyno is so good.
