The other Empire factions have to deal with Imperial Authority, meaning they need to not only focus on their own campaign but also protect the other Empire factions (you lose Authority if one gets wiped out, even if not by you). Huntsmarshal's Expedition will spawn hostile lizardmen armies if you're doing too well while also giving them substantial bonuses, and it's impossible to ever make this stop happening even if you completely wipe out the Lizardmen.

Their campaign mechanics, however, are among the most punishing of any faction.

If they can be said to have any weakness in battle it's that they need to have a balanced army to thrive and can't easily 'Doomstack' like other factions (while Steam Tank doomstacks are viable, they're also prohibitively expensive). The Empire's Jack-of-All-Stats unit roster and balanced assortment of heroes and magic means they don't have any glaring weaknesses that can be easily exploited. It is from these men and women that the Emperor is elected, and not infrequently in the past the realm has been blighted by corrupt leaders or civil war as rival Elector Counts fought for the throne, dark times during which the Empire's enemies have taken advantage of this weakness. For the Empire is not one harmonious nation, but a collective of fiercely independant provinces and city-states each led by an Elector Count - a powerful noble whose interests do not always align with the greater good for the nation. It is the variety and synergy between these disparate troops that is the chief strength of any Empire army.īut perhaps the Empire's greatest foe has always been itself.

Ranks upon ranks of disciplined State Troops, brave men more than prepared to lay down their lives to protect the lands and people they hold dear, march alongside the proud noble-born warriors of the Knightly Orders, the ingenious war-machines of the Imperial Gunnery School of Nuln, and the enigmatic Battle Wizards of the Eight Colleges of Magic at Altdorf.

The Empire's mighty armies stand ready to protect mankind's greatest nation against its many foes.
