Total War: Warhammer 2

Since this is one of the games I always return to, I thought: Why not make a thread about it?

Right now, I’m doing an ME (Mortal Empires, the one with the complete map) playthrough as Vampire Coast.
I must say, I really quite like them, at least on the battlefield.

Their campaign mechanics have some problems, though…
For one, I fail to see the point of pirate coves. They get destroyed if the town you put them in gets taken over by someone else, so those up to 10k you invested in it will be for naught. Better to just declare war and take the entire city for yourself. If you are already at war with the faction, then there’s no point in establishing one at all.
Given that you are unable to confederate (at least all my fellow VCs hated me in both my campaigns) and people half the map away randomly declare war on you, you won’t be lacking any targets to loot & occupy.

Generally, I have the impression you are supposed to sail the seas and fight those treasure fights, establish coves and fight these one-army-pirates for RORs (Regiments Of Renown). But the way you’ll be at war with everyone around you no matter what means you won’t have any time to actually bother with any of that.
In none of my VC campaigns I had any RORs because I was never really at sea, always at land fighting whoever declared war on me.
