If you’d rather not deal with them yet, it’s possible to lose Infamy and thus delay their appearance. When your Infamy exceeds that of one of the legendary pirates, they will spawn somewhere in the world and beeline right for you. Pirate coves are another important source – more on them in a second. You gain Infamy by winning battles, taking or razing settlements, upgrading the harpoon launcher on your ship, and completing certain missions. That’s because your actual goal is to slay the sea monster Amanar, which requires a star-metal harpoon, which must be empowered with three verses of a magical sea shanty, each of which is carried by a legendary pirate, who will only be drawn out when your Infamy is higher than theirs. Where the other factions must accrue ritual currency, Infamy is essentially the goal of the Vampire Coast campaign. Here are some jumplinks for easy navigation: Finally, we take an in-depth look at the roster, discussing the role of each unit in the army and some tactics to use them. We discuss the new Legendary Lords, their history, their strengths, and their starting locations.
We lay out the new Regiments of Renown and which of them you should prioritise, since they no longer unlock in a linear fashion.
We start with a breakdown of the core campaign mechanics, including Infamy, pirate coves, and shipbuilding, with some advice to make the most of them. As is now the norm, a new race also means a slew of inventive and game-changing mechanics at the strategic level, a new army roster, four new Legendary Lords and plenty more. They’re undead, but not as you know them – they mix the Vampire Counts’ powerful monsters with such overwhelming artillery and gunnery power that even a Dwarf would consider it ‘a bit much’. The Vampire Coast is Total War: Warhammer 2’s latest race, and its first since the Tomb Kings way back in January.
