3 Factions Not Suitable for Beginners
If you do not want to receive a proper smack right away, there are a few factions and leaders that you should avoid as a beginner – and for various reasons. The following are not suitable for beginners:
- Kislev
- Nurgle
- and Tzeentch
Kislev is a strong faction in itself and has become significantly more pleasant to play since the major overhaul, but each of their commanders has a poor starting position. You always face enemies who can easily crush you if you’re not careful. If you still want to try Kislev, you probably have the best chances with Mother Ostankya.
Nurgle is similar, but the three commanders here also have the disadvantage that they cannot simply recruit troops. Most units of Nurgle start with half their troop strength and then need to recover. In addition, you cannot just “recruit,” but your military buildings go through “cycles” and provide units. It takes a long time until you reach a stable point here. If you really want to play Nurgle, try with Tamurkhan, as he has it the easiest.
With Tzeentch, however, none of the two commanders are really recommended. This is not only because the starting positions are rather poor, but also due to some mechanics. The changeling, for example, does not really fight himself but fakes wars, which is difficult to manage even for veterans. Kairos has to constantly deal with the winds of magic. Moreover, although Tzeentch has powerful troops, they cannot withstand much. Army management here is definitely for advanced players.
Total War: Warhammer takes place in the now-destroyed world of Warhammer Fantasy. The world has been replaced by Age of Sigmar, but now there is a new version: The Old World.
