I tried to take Karak Eight Peaks as Skarsnik using Goblins and nothing else. No Orcs, no Black Orcs, no shortcuts. Just Night Goblins, squigs, goblin wolf riders and hope. I made it 50 turns. I took the Eight Peaks. And then I stopped, because it stopped being a campaign and started being an argument with the game, one of the most dreadful campaigns I’ve attempted to be honest.
Goblins only /should/ work as Skarsnik is the goblin lord. He buffs them, he’s built around them, and if any campaign in this game supports a Goblins-only run it’s this one. The problem is that Greenskins are designed with Goblins as cheap unit options because they break. Leadership is bad on purpose, and the whole faction assumes you’re propping them up with Orcs holding the line behind them. Take the Orcs away and you don’t get a harder version of the same faction.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
👺 Karak Eight Peaks = took it, and the quest battle with it. This part genuinely went well.
🐗 Gorbad stared at me for twelve turns = sat there. Did nothing. Twelve turns of two armies looking at each other while I aged.
🪓 The Orcs came back = I caved near the end. The run stopped being pure and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
🐛 Bugs = enough that by turn 50 I couldn’t tell what was a challenge and what was the campaign not functioning.
🛑 I stopped at turn 50 = and this video is honest about why.

💬 Greenskins players, did I quit too early or is Goblins-only genuinely not viable? Convince me to give this faction another go.

Goblin gaming best gaming
kislev next?????????
One of the best campaigns in the entire game thanks to having a negative aspect/effect to it, i.e. not being able to recruit orc units until you have Karak Eightpeaks. I even do play goblins only (+ monsters of course) even after having Karak Eightpeaks, Night Goblin army.
More campaigns or better to say lords should be like that, with negative aspects to them instead of the usual boring snowballing OP nonsense that gets boring too fast.
Some advice to not suffer as much
First: abuse stalk, you can try to attack several times a turn until you get ambush, chance doesn't decrease after failure
Second: you don't need to be friends with other greenskin, defeat their leader and get all their stuff for free. There ai is now broken and they starve garrisons for whatever reason, just use garrison(dwarfs, for example)as cannon fodder to kill faction leader.
Third, more of suggestion: goblin are cheap, spam a lot of armies, don't care about income, just sack to not go bankrupt, as long as you have a lot of even shit armies you can snowball fast. Also abuse diplomacy by selling people settlements for vassalisation, or money
Great video, just want to help you
Miss the old greenskin tech tree. They straight up obliterated Goblins with those changes…
Goblin mode
What is this? A non-legendary diff campaign in my feed?
Yeah but did you get the mind goblin unit?
Hey, im currently playing a tammy campaign without nurgle, and honestly, i think goblin only skarsnik is worse.
Btw, the rules for me is that I cant use anything with nurgle in the name, with the exeptions of heralds of nurgle, since the exalted great unclean one doesn't have nurgle in it, and you need to level up Heralds of nurgle to use them.
My God, respect to you sir! Dear Lord, the most dreadful thing about a Goblin Only Challenge is that it's Goblin Only. Kiss Auto-Resolves goodbye, and even with good research upgrades it's like the game genuinely despises your goblins! 🤣
skarsnik gotta be my fav campaign, his early game IS really bad tho. One thing that would have helped massively is more nasty skulkers, against the dwarves they are damn near essential for this early campaign
I honestly like watching you.. mainly because you don’t cuss everyone else just throws nasty words all over the place. It’s nice to see someone not do it.
Grom also goes hard for goblins
Love to see a bit of Skarsnik
Putting the waaaah in skarsnik 😂
Wwwwwww
