Lustria and Southlands are really really bad. Having said that, i really wish the ME map itself would get reworked just a bit. While i really do love the TK's and VP campaigns. I can't get so much of this epic immersive feeling from the Vortex.Īlso while the map is awesome, i'm really not a big fan of the Rite mechanic and the Vortex race.

Currently in the middle of an incredible Dawi Campaign. Every faction is pretty much led by a fleshed out character from the lore, SFO is amazing and the Chaos invasion really feels like the End Times. SFO + Mixu's and We'zSpeshul mods, as well as Gates of Chaos and harder Chaos Invasion and several others, make each campaign incredibly epic. Im currently playing heavily modded and really immersive campaigns that make the game as close to the lore and fluff as possible. As a huge fan of the lore, i just find the draw of the ME size and faction coverage too much to ignore. Playing Vortex just feels a bit weird to me, as i know there's a bigger map out there with tons of more factions. But the vast majority of my playtime has been on ME. I love the Vortex campaigns, definitely did plenty, the map is amazing. Every new race is played in Vortex first and I have completed 15 or so (5 of which were TK). I have completed many Vortex games (most of which were enjoyable). turns out he was the last vortex faction lord and had no other cities so I won. I wanted a trait for Tyrion before the final battle so I killed Krok Gar. I am a very aggressive player and actually won a domination victory by accident on my last HE Vortex campaign. I have never lost the race for the vortex so I can't really understand what that is like. I can happily live with the ritual spawns, as often, they provide some of the more interesting or challenging battles.

I think it is a much more balanced map and I like the fact that the chaos invasion isn't in it. I have only completed a handful of campaigns on ME and only painted the map once. Prior to that I found ME to be interesting for about 100 turns and then unbearably dull afterwards. I've played alot of both and it was only recently that I actually started to appreciate ME (almost entirely due to mods).
