Hmm yeah, I might be in too deep... I started collecting heroes from other factions through the wounded bug, it's great... I'm kinda counting on gettiing as many as possible, paint the map except for ultimate campaign goal... lower control everywhere (should be doable with dark elves), let the rebellions win, gift provinces back repainting the map as seems most appropriate, kinda restart the campaign from there.
I have so much stuff I'm not supposed to have, even just from the darkelves I got masters and generals and units from dlc, even two stacks of daemonettes from morathi (sadly I did not keep her buildings confederating)... but you want to know the absolute best part? My endgame scenario was vampire counts, and somehow they had a lord, and a hero isabella, guess who has a legendary hero now
.
Shit I will easily spent another week or two cheesing everything together for me to restart. Only thing that botters is morathi and malekith are skilled really bad (lokir was skilled allright I guess), then again, if any of the supreme sorceresses happens to have spiteful and shadowdart, and lore of shadow or fire, that's basically better than any of the LL.
I don't like how total war usually forces you to keep growing if you don't want to play whackamole, so basically I will whackamole everything once or twice, just so I can start over, focusing only on very few lords, not moving them in pairs, and playing a shitton of battles in manual, how silly of me. Let the reserves (those I can't disband without being able to rerecruit them) guard the few regions with landmarks I like, so I won't have -100k income every turn, tho by the time I'm starting over, I might just be rich enough to make that interesting... Would proably be cooler tho to put difficulty on L/N instead, so I regularly get to melt 2-3 armies with a single stack. Goddamnit I need more foreign heros
they're so hard to farm.
