I've only played an hour and a half of the campaign so far, went for Settra mortal empires vh.
Absolutely loving it so far. I can only recruit skelly spears and sword, and only just about fast enough to fight off the incoming Top Knotz armies, which they spam towards Khemri.
My battles consist of me making a line of skeletons, and holding the line while my warsphinx and chariots runs around and actually kills stuff.
I pushed back a few armies, and took the Top Knotz city north of me. They had another army, one that I previously defeated but had a lot of men left. With the garrison, they just about outnumbered me. My lines sorta broke, and sorta held, it ended in a mess. Settra was fleeing from the 5 remaining full-health Ork Arrer-boys, while my warsphinx was routing and chasing them off the map one by one. The battle ended with me taking the city, but at a great cost:
I had Settra on 1/5th hp, the warsphinx on 1/2hp left and 81 Skeleton Warriors. I start recruiting more troops, but then I see a 7-unit army by the Top Knotz one turn away, which will probably move to recapture it when I press end turn. Mind you, I'm playing on ultra unit size, so the Skeleton warriors won't do much.
Haven't touched that much on the tech and rituals and books so far, but looking forward to diving into it.
How hows your experiences been so far?
