One caveat to spending your gold on settlements: upgrade your province capitol before upgrading your minor settlements. Depending on the campaign, you can't defend your minor settlements and still expand your sphere of influence. Prioritize your larger settlements that get stronger garrisons and walls. If a tier 1 minor settlement gets taken by an enemy, you didnt lose a lot of gold, as you still have it in your treasury instead of burning on a beastman's spear. Make sure your minor settlements are safe before investing more than 1 building into them

I agree but I think it depends on the settlement, some minor settlements can pay themelves very quickly and are amazing sources of revenue (usually if they have good resources). So it mgiht be worth upgrading it and trying to defend with your army or sometimes even losing it (if enough turns have passed) because at the end of the day it is possible to finish at a profit. After all, it does take a long time to upgrade your capital.

Making friends can also be a tricky one. One non aggression pact can also lead to 1+ wars. Try to avoid making pacts with factions that are in a war with another faction you want to be friends with or at least it will delay the war declaration.

One tip I would give is to not be too defensive. I say this mostly because I am a little too defensive and more often than not I find myself waiting for an enemy to attack me so I can break them on my defenses before I launch an invasion. While it does work well for instantly gaining insane amounts of momentum during a war, the amount of time it consumes is not really worth it, I am trying to break myself of this habit. speaking from experience, dont be too defensive.

I use one key mod that changes the entire game dynamic: Unit Caps For All. It makes it so all factions have the Tomb King mechanics limiting high-tier unit capacity. If you want more, you need to build additional recruitment buildings. I find it's very well balanced that way and prevents doomstacking.

Hack: join wars with factions that are super far away from you, often you can milk a ton of money out of the AI and never have to fight them. Example: As Karl Franz, ask cathay if you can join wars with everybody in their area. Every time, balance the diplomacy, some factions will give you $2500+ per war. Also ALWAYS balance diplomacy, you can get SO MUCH money from balancing every time you have a green diplomacy.

Careful with the gold spending. You need gold to upgrade settlements, which means if your empire is expanding that means you need a gold reserve because taking a whole province in a couple of turns gets real expensive, real quick.
@emrysmyridden

so look for situations where you can sell settlements to factions who will soon become your enemies. for example using eltharion the grim, if i decide to stay on ulthuan I take gronti mingol, and sell it to the teef snachers, then declare war take it from them sell it to bloody hand sell it to scabby eye then raze it and disband my army. suddenly all of those factions who would have eventually declaired war on me or got wiped out just paid me 2-3k gold apiece and I lost nothing.

Personally I find the whole spending gold as a trap. Of course, upgrade settlements when you can but do it intelligently. Don’t upgrade random things willy nilly. For example, if your T4 capital settlement is about to hit 5 growth surplus, and you’ll have the exact amount of money you need to complete it, but you can upgrade a random province settlement to T2, save that gold. I’ve often found myself in the trap of having to wait multiple turns for my income to be enough to do things, especially during periods of relative peace where I’m not getting post battle loot every turn.

Never understood people waiting for troops. Fill out first army like you say, Not necessarily everyone in the first turn. Recruit 3-4 guys (as many as your team can get that takes 1 turn at the end of each turn until full.) Get a second lord directly. Have him shadow your big starter lord until its time to replace those first shit units with some better units. Now these shit units are hand me downs to lord 2. Those starting shit units are going to be in army number 15 by the time the map is all your color.

@klchankandemir767

First of all, in the diplomacy panel, you can see the personal traits of each faction lord and what they can do. So you can understand who the threats are from their characteristics. If you start as the Empire, you should eliminate Khazrak, Heinrich, Vlad, and Drycha's factions in order. Eliminating Khazrak is the easiest, as he attacks Altdorf and his main army gets destroyed. You can also destroy his herdstone during this time. My advice is to take the provincial capital of Middenheim and give the remaining territories to Boris. Since he is a legendary lord, you will see the benefits of confederating with him. If you are worried about your economic situation and don't think your armies can defend a region for a long time, you can revive the elector count in that region (probably already destroyed). Since every faction starts with a good amount of money, you can make deals to get their money before confederating with them, and they will develop their lands nicely before being confederated by you. There are also ogres in the south, usually attacking the Averheim territories. In most scenarios, someone else will destroy them, but if they manage to survive, you will need to raise an army to make sure they are completely destroyed. Their plundering nature means they will destroy the economic foundation you have worked hard to build. Also, don't forget that after declaring a lord as an elector count in the Empire, you can withdraw them to re-summon them. This way, you can fill the 12 elector count slots and benefit from special units without weakening your economy. After eliminating the legendary lords I mentioned earlier, your enemies will be Grom, Azazel, Wulfrik, Throgg, Archeon, and Azhag in succession. I still don't understand why or how the game recommends the Empire, but at some point, the challenge starts to become enjoyable :D

3:20 Not necessarily. Armies that are static on home provinces can be useful due to the fact that lords that stay a few turns in a province while building get the builder, up to architect trait ( name is changed in warhammer 3 ). This increases economy by 7% and also reduces building costs for the same amount, so while recruiting, or even just building without enemies it isnt bad not to use the armies. This is the reason why i build heroes to be hybrid, cuz while the army is static, the heroes are killing other heroes, spying and stealing technology. 5:20 to add to this specific point, in wh3 they made it so that public order also contributes to growth, so you wanna rush both. In factions that have corruption, you also want to rush corruption in addition to growth and control ( public order in wh3 ).

I think one of the biggest things people need to realize is, being in the red income-wise is NOT a bad thing. If you are in the red 1000, but you have 2 20 stacks opposed to one, you can very easily make that 1k per turn in post-battle loot. This makes aggressive expansion much more do-able when you have several stacks that can defend and attack modularly.
