Waiting until they make another overpowered DLC for an evil faction, like when Vampirates & VC rework came out and vampires were the dominant power in every campaign for months.

Play as VAMPIRES, and then you can try to play high difficulty campaign and murder them all.

I've been watching all the stuff Zerkovich has put on youtube to understand the game. It made me lose interest for the campaign mode. My question now is whether there's a mode or a mod where you have battles of increasing difficulty against a premade specialised army with tweaked AI.

I do believe there is a skirmish mode, where you can build a couple of armies and smack them into each other, yes.

Be more aggressive.
During my Orc campaign I noticed that the Vampires were running rampant over the Empire and I decided to push south into Khemri instead of north into Imperial (or rather Vampiric) lands.
100 turns later the Empire got their shit together, confederated and wiped the Vampires out.
You have to apply pressure to the Empire yourself if you want them weak. The Empire's strength comes from their easy confederations, much like Dwarfs and Bretonnians. So you deal with the Empire like you deal with them; constant aggression and denial of minor factions through aggressive campaigns of genocide.

Even if you raze the settlement and the Empire / Brets / Dwarfs occupy it, its still better than them confederating as they wouldn't get free armies, lords and infrastructure. Remember that the AI pays little upkeep, especially on higher difficulties, so they aren't impacted that much by suddenly getting new armies like the player is.

Yeah, I still have to build them myself, and I barely know how other armies work.

Is ordertide still a problem? It's been a few minipatches since I played, but last time the vamps wound up conquering pretty much the entire empire, and orkz (with vamp support) wiped out the dwarfs.

Is there still a reason to play TWW 1, or has 2 made it completely redundant?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

latter.

Technically the TWW1 campaign is different even from the TWW2 mortal empire campaign (much harsher chaos invasion and settlement climate restrictions), and there's a few mini campaigns. But yeah not much reason at all. You do need to own TWW1 to unlock mortal empires though and the DLC transfers over.

Just download it from the torrents.

What torrents? I don't know nothing about no torrents.

a lot of the old armies like orcs and empire got redone or changed a lot, and if you like playing those armies you have to play mortal empires big map which is a lot more demanding than warhammer 1. kind of sucks for me cause I like playing empire, but I dont wanna play mortal empires.

 

[Parabalus]

TW1 isn't worth playing any more since it misses out on all the goodies TW2 has for its races. On TW2 release it was more debatable, but not really any more.

There's a dlc to play empire on vortex

That's what I did. The Empire was down to 10 regions at the start of the 10x invasion. They still ended up trashing Archaon and eventually reclaiming most of the land with the Wood elves now owning Eastern Sylvania.

As long as the AI has a single town left they can easily reforge an empire in a dozen turns with fully upgraded towns.

Not really. The original vanilla unpatched (well, it needed one patch on the day of release to work due to an encyclopedia bug) campaign with just Empire, Vampires, Dorf and Greenskins is the most balanced the game has ever been (it was what I based my original pozzitive review on). But aside from that the only upside is really MODDED versions of the mini-campaigns, which had a massive Middenheim map and an expanded Athel loren + parts of bretonnia. I played quite a few modded campaigns on the Athel Loren/Bret map.

 

[Lycra Suit]

CthuluIsSpy it's because the AI gets massive bonuses to colonizing, growth, construction time, replenishment, upkeep and building cost which allows them to maintain 2 full stacks with a single city and quickly expend ruined towns back to tier 5

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Well yeah, that's why you need to attack them constantly and grind them down to level 1 settlements.
Empire and Dwarfs are not factions you want to leave alone.

Someone is making a Dark Omen-like mod for WH2

 

[karoliner]

I been playing this lately and is such an improvement over the first game. This is really really fun. I like the dark elves the most because of all the hot sorceresses thots.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

then you'll absolutely love the naked, totally bare lizards.

The skaven are the best because of the experience of constant, unfaltering rage. A skaven knows about three emotions, I reckon : fear, rage and the utter, complete and boundless joy of bringing an enemy low. You just run on these as much as possible. What is amazing with skavos is that when you click on one of their towns you get a torrent of yells and raging rats just rushing at you : "yeeeeaaarrrghhhh!!!". When I play I constantly click on the towns to hear this sound and I reproduce it myself in front of my computer : "yeeeeeeeaaarrrrghhhHH!" - complete with the diminutive, high-pitched skaven tone. It's just a step from there to reproduce the lines in your daily life ; for example when it starts getting hot you say something like "arrrghhh! Queek hates heat! Tail sweat in heat!... but dwarf-gouger works in heat!!". Just live to pillage and bomb men to the stone age, man - no other good life for you, yes-yes
