Hello everybody. Hope all of you had a good week and a relaxing weekend. This week i played more Morrowind and XCOM2. Also some casual Balatro on the side. Have a good one.

Hey, I just went the opposite direction, lol. I stalled out on Total War 3K because the sheer number of battles I was experiencing each turn in my Legendary Yellow Turban campaign was too much to handle. It's like 4 battles a turn with myself owning half the map and Cao Cao owning the other.

Thought I'd dip into Warham 3 and been bouncing around campaigns a bit but kind of waiting for the SFO update coming out next week too.

Lu Bu sounds pretty solid for a "This is Total War" campaign, since everyone hates you already anyway and you're so strong. I've been working on trying to accomplish hard stuff like that and Legendary campaigns, which I've only recently started playing on.

Warhammer 3 has a nice variety of campaigns. If you're doing mods anyway I'd check out the victory conditions overhaul mod..

If you have the dlc and you want to fight a bunch of varied enemies you should play the wood elves/Orion. And dont listen to the game or your intuition telling you that they're a ranged faction. By the mid point of the campaign you can store full stacks led by a treeman in each of the forests and you do not give a shit about any other territory so you can hand that over to allies, leave it burned to the ground, or just let the enemy take it with autoresolve and come back to it later. And if you get overwhelmed and bogged down on a far away continent you can just do like a tree and leave, you have two separate "teleport me out of this" mechanics.
