I love Beastmen and I'm looking forward to using them in Mortal Empires :)

So for people looking at this DLC:

Essentially their Lords are also their buildings so they bring their recruitment stations with them and don't establish any settlements.

That by itself is nice but the real cool part about Beastmen is that they can move through the beast tunnels (can move through terrain like dwarves, Skaven, etc) and when they encamp they go invisible to the AI

So you strike minor settlements and then get out of there before they send their doomstacks at you and while they're distracted taking back that settlement you can move and encamp every turn so you sneak over to their main base while they're not expecting it and sack it then you peace out with all their gold and minimal risk.

If that's not cool enough, they spawn full stacks (at peak ferocity, just keep fighting till it's full) called me brayherds that you can direct at a town or enemy stack.

Each Lord can have a brayherd spawn for them.

I had 4 Lords, 4 brayherds.. so 8 stacks mobbing around as a Horde. I was unstoppable. I actually finished that campaign in a single day, played about 10 hours with small breaks. Was a pretty compelling playstyle especially because you're kind of weak at first so you feel good once you survive. I restarted my campaign 4 times before I finally survived the first 10 turns.

I want to rampage all over the new world
