Hide your Great Stag Knights in the forest next to your main line.Дeploy your flyers out front to harass and weaken the enemy as they approach. The biggest challenge of this battle is that the enemy has a bunch of mounted crossbow troops, which are a pain in the butt because they will wreck your Hawk Riders if you arenвЂ™t very careful.Дeploy your Glade Guard on the slopes of the upper right side of the map behind the staunch line of spears of the Eternal Guard. This will likely be your most difficult battle of the first 10 turns, but it is very winnable, even on Legendary difficulty. Move to VaulвЂ™s Anvil with the Sisters and their army and take the settlement. (At least he has in every playthrough IвЂ™ve done.) The Bleak Holds enemy lord, Exarian, will have moved to garrison VaultвЂ™s Anvil. If you donвЂ™t get right up against the border, you will not have enough movement to attack VaulвЂ™s Anvil next turn.Д®nd Turn Turn 3 The Great Battle of VaulвЂ™s Anvil Get as close to VaulвЂ™s Anvil as you can while still staying within the province of Addaioth. VERY IMPORTANT!! You must get your army right up against the border. Move the Sisters and their army to the border with VaulвЂ™s Anvil. Move your beast wizard scout down to Hag Hall to keep an eye on the enemy. Level your Sisters up (get to Lightning Strike asap) and youвЂ™re done with Turn 1. YouвЂ™re only have one choice right now, but youвЂ™re going to be headed down the bottom line of research leading to Cytharai. Try to get non-aggression pacts with the Exiles of Nehek (trade agreement is also possible) and with any Woodelf factions you can (generally only Orion of the Talsyn faction will say yes.) (DonвЂ™t build anything else yet.)ДЄlso, check your diplomacy tab. YouвЂ™re too short on money.Д«efore you end turn, start building the tier 2 вЂњGladeвЂќ structure in the Witchwood. This will allow you to recruit Glade Guard into your army next turn. When you win the battle at the Temple of Addaioth, occupy the heathland and (THIS IS IMPORTANT) build a Worldroot Pathway. Send her down to VaulвЂ™s Anvil to keep an eye on enemy movements. She is a Beast Wizard, which pretty much suck. Use your Stag Knights to cycle charge into the backs of the enemy troops.Дo not attach your spell singer hero to your army. Use your hawk riders to weaken the enemy, so by the time that they reach your army, they will fall quickly to the arrows of your Glade Guard. You could auto-resolve it, but itвЂ™s best to fight it manually to minimize casualties. Take the Temple of Addaioth your first turn. You spawn with a decent starting army, right next to the Temple of Addaioth. (Playing Sisters of Twilight will make you hate beastmen if you donвЂ™t already.) Of equal importance to securing the heathlands surrounding your magical forest of the Witchwood, there are two other important goals you need to accomplish in the early game:ДЄt the beginning of the game, you are at war with the Dark Elves of Bleak Holds, and the Ripperhorn Beastmen. ItвЂ™s almost certain that the Skaven at Clan Rictus will also harass you. Beastmen and savage orc hordes are going to plague your attempt to keep and hold your heathlands. The heathlands you take are extremely vulnerable to being re-taken, even by relatively low strength opponents.

Only your main magic forest has defenses of any significance. However, the greatest challenge of the very early game will be dealing with beastmen and savage orc hordes. You start out the campaign at war with the Dark Elf faction, Bleak Holds. These adjacent provinces are called вЂњheathlandsвЂќ and control over these provinces is key to upgrading the health of your magical forests (and ultimately the Oak of Ages too.) Note that control can be either personal control, or control by an ally (which includes both defensive alliances and military alliances.)

Early Game ObjectivesДЄs a Woodelf faction, your overall goal is to secure the provinces that surround your magical forest. IвЂ™ve not played Vortex much, so I donвЂ™t have any campaign tips that are specific to the Vortex campaign. This guide is focused on the Mortal Empires campaign.
