A little disappointed with the dwarf content.
Airship supercool. Slayer stuff, OK I guess. Malakai - meh, we've already got a Slayer lord.

I'd have preferred a dedicated engineer lord, and I dunno, mining golems as either monstrous infantry or monster units for a bit more variety in the roster.

Having a blast with Tamurkhan's campaign, having briefly started last night. Going to try to follow the path that his Warhammer Forge book laid out, rather than his objectives being to eliminate Kholek, Goldtooth and a third faction that I can't recall at the moment.

His chieftain recruitment tactic is pretty neat and really adds some roster diversity.

Didn't try Elspeth or Makaisson yet. Feel like Elspeth's campaign will be easy, with Nuln cushioned as it is between the mountains and Karl Franz and various other Elector Counts.

Makaisson's campaign might be wild fun,being more or less surrounded by Demons, Norsca and Skaven, with only minor Kislev factions on his border.

Debated starting a Epidemius campaign, but I've do so many campaigns in that area that its kind of played out for me.

Interested in trying out a Slayer-King campaign as well, since they just got so many Slayer upgrades.

You know, I really wish they had campaign mode where you could start as a custom legendary lord for each faction. Make the normal legendary lords recruitable by defeating/confederating them as normal.

You kind of can with Mods :

1. Mixu’s Faction Unlocker- Makes all minor factions playable.

2. Recruit defeated Legenday Lords - Allows the recruitment of Legendary lords of your faction that have had their faction destroyed.

But yeah, I understand the sentiment. Total War has been character focused since 2015’s Attila, possibly to its detriment in some cases.

I'd love to see a campaign that just has 1 of each race on the campaign map with fewer regions. Something that's grand but more "I can actually complete this and fight most races without giving up half my life to do so"
