#TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER EMBED HERO UPDATE#

Then, the Lord of the army can use Raise Dead to summon a number of Zombies and Skeletons to fill out the ranks, reducing the cost of founding a new town on a razed site. A half-stack army can move around the map and defend itself (or flee) long enough to reach a razed site. The good news is that VCs can take over razed towns fairly cheaply thanks to Raise Dead. In the second place, if you are making friends with your nearby races, the conflicts that result in razed towns will be further away, and you will almost certainly have to travel extensively across uncorrupted terrain to reach the towns (this sort of travel causes attrition in your armies).

The trade-off for this is that this can be difficult to accomplish, because in the first place, any army that is powerful enough to raze a city or town is likely your enemy, and might return to raze your new town soon after you found it. The more stacks of units an army has, the cheaper the colonization.ДЄn extremely valid strategy for the Vampire Counts is to seize control of towns and cities that were razed by other armies. Also on the following turn, they should be able to colonize it with the conquering army, or a following, cheap army composed of skeletons and zombies. To maintain a good treasure and good public order, VCs should conquer a town, pillage it for the most money, and then raze it the following turn. Having a hero in the army with strong Vampiric Corruption traits can speed this along. A military presence in an occupied town or city will forestall unrest and rebellions, but the military presence needs to occupy that site for many turns before public order is restored and there is a high enough level of Vampiric Corruption to start giving public order bonuses. VCs need to take time to restore Public Order in their seized towns since all of the other nearby race-nations have a diplomatic Aversion to vampires, new VC acquisitions outside Sylvania have stronger public order penalties. It is not worth it to seize a new town like Pfeildorf if it means you lose Castle Drakenhof to an invasion by Dwarfs or Greenskins. The first main вЂњquestlineвЂќ of the VCs is to seize more and more territory, but survival and management of your current domains should take precedence most of the time. The cost of new cities, new armies, and public order penalties must be accounted for before new territory is claimed. In the early game, it is unwise to expand too quickly even though cities are the single biggest source of income for VCs, their armies in the early game are weak, and not well-able to defend newly-seized territory. VC Uninhabitable Climates are those uncivilized areas of the map like the Wood Elf kingdoms to the west, and anywhere with too much Chaos Corruption. This is another good reason to leave the Dwarfs alone until you can afford it. VC Unpleasant Climates include other nearby race-nations such as the Dwarfs (mostly east and south). For some reason, so are many of the Greenskin settlements to the south-east. You can keep multiple Hands of the Shadow Crown at once if you miss a target, so you can take out two or all three targets at once.VC Suitable Climates are anything human-based, including the Empire and its Provinces, the Border Princes, and the Bretonnian Kingdoms (mostly west). On those occasions where Alith AnarвЂ™s force must split into two, the Hand of the Shadow Crown leads the second contingent, bringing death to the Dark Elves with the same ruthless efficiency as his unswerving liege. From among their number, the Shadow King raises up the greatest warrior with the greatest grasp of strategy and tactics to be his вЂhandвЂ™, who advises him and carries out his will with a furious precision. The Shadow Warriors, Alith AnarвЂ™s masters of irregular warfare, are the elite warriors of the Elven race. He has the ability to assassinate any enemy hero or lord, taking them out of the game for good.

The Hand of the Shadow Crown is summoned in campaign via the Invocation of Morai-Heg rite.
