What are some Hard factions?

[Gigan]

I just quit my Reikland campaign, the chaos invasion was beat back! I was dissapointed, though its probably my fault since I killed Archaon too early ( he was sieging Middenheim with only 1 stack , and I had 2 armies near and Valten personally killed him reaaaaaly weird coincidence) and my last save was at like turn 30 so yeah im quiting. What are your recomendations for a hard faction?

Ostland and Kislev are the hardest. The elf factions can be hard too.

[Ivar the Boneless]

Vampire counts can be tough too.

Ostland and Kislev are the hardest. The elf factions can be hard too.

Had some easy campaigns with Kislev and DE on VH/VH. Sometimes you just need luck

Yup, Ostland is extremly hard and fun, though I would say Kisliv is harder

I found Sylvania to be very unusual and hard to get used to but then extremely easy. It seems to be the faction most peoples have different opinions about.

I would agree about Ostland probably being the hardest (haven't tried all factions yet). Of course the annoying elven recruitment is a huge difficulty, it probably depends a lot on playstyle if you find the elves easy or hard.

Sylvania is quite random, being so surrounded by powerful enemies and the price of elite units and the regualr crusades called against you it can be hard. It can be easy because the weaker units are so cheap and are fearless.
I can't imagine how people think Kislev can be easy, that's never happened for me.
