    Khorne or any other chaos faction is just so cool to play, they have great infantry and they have demons. But there are many other choices. Orcs have an interesting roster and have trolls. Dark Elves have some badass units but no monsters (they do have the cold one knights). All of them also have mages, ahamans, etc. Try any of them and you wont be disapointed, hehe. Lets not forget Sylvania, hehe.

    Sylvania and Khorne are the most fun in my opinion especially Sylvania.

    I love Sylvania. They're the Necrons of Warhammer.

    Correction, Khemri are the Necrons of Warhammer

    Sylvannia is their own breed

    BLARG! I never got into the medieval Warhammer, just 40k due to the RTS games.
    Wel until the mod that adds them is finished the Sylvanians will be my substitute for the Medieval Necrons.

    Khorne or Sylvania. Personally I prefer Khorne, more badass.

    I'd say Sylvania. Their unit roster is more varied and their starting position is much more interesting. Chaos factions spend a -long- time mostly brawling with their neighbours which leads to lots of battles between same-ish armies. (Admittedly I haven't tried Khorne yet, they might have an easier time expanding south into Kislev instead.)

    The undead look cool and are very different from all other armies in the game. You might want to consider one of the EDU mods that reduce the upkeep for your weak cannon-fodder units though, since Sylvania's economy is rather weak and the "carefully managed team of expensive skeletons" isn't nearly as much fun as the "endless skeletal hordes of doom that rush forward with no regards to their own mortality... what with being dead already and all."

    chaos feels more fulfilling to play than sylvania, all that hard fighting up north anmd you become chaos undivided and now its time to turn south and destroy the world.....

    sylvania is very fun however, i find it even on vh a bit easy empire is a bit stupid to crush you if you swipe the capitals out in a few fast strokes.

    I'm crashing a lot.. The log says nothing that stands out. Happens a totally different times. First when the AI takes its turn. After battle where it says too high graphical setting or something like that. My pc is a monster sooo. Any settings that makes the game crash like that ? I downloaded the 14 part exe. I am using steam. And i had to use The Kingdoms Launcher App.exe to make the mod run. So. Should I just forget about playing it ?

    Thanks. English = not first language.

    I was talking about mods that change the unit stats (The EDU) in general.

    Warcry is a good example of what I meant.

    Undead should be cheaper but a but weaker as well though really Nurgle or Tzeentch are probably the most pure evil. Orcs love battle but aren't out to destroy everything. Khorne is similar but a bit more twisted. Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, and Skaven all have their evil tendencies but still want to rule something. I'm not really sure what Beastmen want in the lore. Sylvania is ruled by Vampires but the bloodlines mostly in control are not killing for joy but to keep a semblance of life.

    I'd call Slaanesh one of the purest evils. Nurgle at least is said to love his followers, even if expressing said love through disfiguring mutating diseases is a bit out there. Actually I don't think there's much to choose from between the chaos gods... they're all pretty twisted and "pure" evil. Khorne doesn't love battle... he loves killing and bloodshed. Not the same thing.

    Beastmen worship the chaos gods and do their bidding. They want the same thing as other Chaos Warriors, I assume. And lots of people to sacrifice to their gods.

    And Dark Elves... well, maybe their evil isn't as "elemental" as that of the chaos gods but I certainly wouldn't wish to end up in their hands.

    I agree though that Orcs in Warhammer aren't evil. They're just destructive. If they're casually brutal it's because they have no real understanding of the concept of pain. They do "do unto others" what they'd expect to be done to them. Unfortunately for other people Orcs think it's perfectly reasonable for a bigger orc to kick their teeth in because they got in the way by accident. Goblins on the other hand can be cruel little buggers.

    Skaven are evil in a similar way to Goblins. They're petty and cruel but mostly they're paranoid and want to ensure their own continued survival by amassing as much power as possible.

    Slaanesh is the lord of pleasure which is so ecstatic it turns into pain. Arts, and beauty are corrupted eventually when there is nothing left to enjoy except a turn toward the dark but Slaanesh is an entire continuum from banal pleasures to evil twisted perversions. Its not exactly evil along the whole continuum. Most mortals turn it into a depraved obsession since they have to keep stretching their senses to reach new levels of enjoyment but Slaanesh and most demons have more refined sense and indulge in mortals depravity mostly because that is all mortals can eventually enjoy.

    Nice to know ! :] .

    I think An pure evil are chaos factions,also the Undeads :].

    Play orc's - they are awsome.
    All Orks is equal, but some Orks are more equal dan uvvas.

    1 big problem when playing sylvania is the constant if not massive stacks of empire troops attacking you, by the time you get back on your feet they come again, though its easy to defend than attack against them, later on the elite units are very fun to play with cairn wraiths i think, von carsteins (vampires) and then the blood dragons which i have yet to send into battle, all in all i would only watch out for the beastmen or orcs as they have dangerous amounts of elite units or they do in my campaign heh :/

    Well technically none of the Chaos Gods or their followers are "pure" evil because the concept of pure evil requires you to have a focused, long term, overall plan or goal to accomplish along with a strong, disciplined mind and Chaos lacks that.
