It is led by [[Markus Wulfhart]] and can be found on the northern coast of [[Lustria]], surrounded by [[Savage Orc Tribes]], [[Lizardmen]], [[Skaven]] and the [[Vampire Coast]]. ===[[File:Character General Ability.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Character%20General%20Ability.png|36x36px]]Huntsmarshal of the Empire=== {{Quote|Civilisation shall triumph over the wilderness. Man shall triumph over beast.}} For two and a half millennia, the [[The Empire|Empire]] has formed a bulwark against the encroaching forces of Destruction. Lying at the heart of the [[The Old World|Old World]], it is the greatest and most powerful of all the nations forged by [[Human|men]]. Yet across its lands, evil always lurks in its shadiest corners and darkest depths. [[Beastmen|Mutant monsters]] prowl its dark forests, malevolent [[Skaven|ratmen]] plot beneath its cities, and the [[Undead|living dead]] rise from its graveyards. Monstrous enemies gaze belligerently across its borders, with the threat of invasion from any number of murderous abominations an ever-present danger. Yet it endures, for mankind has a steely determination not merely to live, but to thrive. Ever since the legendary warrior [[Sigmar]] first united the primitive man-tribes against their common enemies, the longevity of the Empire has been assured by great men hailing across its provinces. Out of the forests of [[Middenland (province)|Middenland]] emerged [[Markus Wulfhart]], who rose to prominence to become the finest scout in all the Empire. Once a lowly [[Huntsmen|huntsman]], his life was irrevocably shattered when a one-eyed Bonegrinder [[Giant]] razed his hometown of Drakenburg to the ground, slaughtering its inhabitants. Burning with the desire for revenge, the young hunter tracked the monster to its lair and skillfully blinded it with a single shot from his bow, before severing its rope-like hamstrings with his blade. Closing in on the crippled giant, he hacked at its neck repeatedly with manic determination and decapitated it. Markus had slain the beast that had murdered his kin, but in suffering the tragedy of losing his entire village he had been set on a new, death-strewn path. He swore that as long as he still lived, no other [[Settlements|settlement]] would suffer the fate of Drakenburg, and he set out to hunt the various monsters that preyed on the Empire. Only when every last one of them was slain would he rest. In recognition of his deeds, Markus was offered a knighthood and a nobleman's estate by [[Karl Franz]] himself. Wulfhart declined, wishing only to be allowed to continue with his self-imposed quest. Impressed with his grim fortitude, the Emperor bestowed unto Markus the title of Huntsmarshal - the Emperor's Captain of Scouts. Answering only to the Emperor himself, Markus leads an elite, hand-picked regiment of scouts and hunters from across the land - a disparate group in which city-born men rub shoulders with those raised in rural backwaters. One thing is certain, however - Wulfhart's hunters are the most accomplished group of monster slayers in the Empire. ==Playstyle== The Huntsmarshal's Expedition has some unique [[campaign]] mechanics, unavailable to any other [[The Empire|Empire]] faction. *[[File:Bullet icon empire magic colleges.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Bullet_icon_empire_magic_colleges.png]]'''Colleges of Magic:''' Harness multiple Lores of Magic to bolster the [[The Empire|Empire's]] strength and destroy its enemies. *[[File:Bullet The Empire Emperor's Mandate.png]]'''Emperor's Mandate:''' Receive the [[Karl Franz|Emperor's]] acclaim by advancing the [[The Empire|Empire's]] cause in [[Lustria]], leading to the provision of better-quality [[units]] to reinforce the expedition. *[[File:Bullet The Empire Wulfhart's Hunters.png]]'''Wulfhart's Hunters:''' Attain the services of some of the finest hunters to have ever lived. *[[File:Bullet icon empire units.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Bullet_icon_empire_units.png]]Well-rounded unit roster with a wide range of magical Lores and war machines. ==Campaign== '''<u>Eye of the Vortex Introduction</u>''' [[Markus Wulfhart]] has dutifully answered the [[Karl Franz|Emperor]]'s call. The Empire's [[Lustria]]n [[settlements]] have recently fallen victim to a series of savage raids from an elusive attacker. The [[Human|men]] of the [[New World Colonies|colonies]] have long known about the strange, upright-walking reptiles that dominate the continent, but the monstrous '[[Nakai the Wanderer|spirit]]' they claim is now tormenting them and threatens to bring about an end to Imperial expansion in the [[The New World|New World]]. Fortunately, the Huntsmarshal specializes in tracking the untrackable - the hunt is on! '''<u>Mortal Empires Introduction</u>''' Far from the heart of civilisation, the [[The Empire|Empire]] are in a race; the prize? The untold riches of [[Lustria]]. After a spate of recent attacks against the [[New World Colonies|colonists]] in the [[The New World|New World]], [[Karl Franz]] has called upon his Captain of Scouts, [[Markus Wulfhart]], to defend the Empire's holdings and reaffirm their foothold on this beast-infested continent. From his newly-established base camp on the [[Scorpion Coast]], the hunstmarshal readies his expedition for their imminent incursion into the jungle. ===[[File:Event Province Region Neutral.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Event%20Province%20Region%20Neutral.png|36x36px]]Starting Territory=== [[File:The Huntsmarshal's Expedition Vortex Startpos.png|thumb|320x320px|[[Eye of the Vortex]] start position]] [[File:The Huntsmarshal's Expedition Startpos.png|thumb|320x320px|[[Mortal Empires]] start position]] {| class="wikitable" !Campaign !Territory !Region |- ![[File:Campaign Select Eye of the Vortex.png|180x180px]] [[Eye of the Vortex]] |'''[[Scorpion Coast]]''' *[[File:Icon Marker Settlement.png]]Temple of Tlencan |Lustria |- ![[File:Campaign Select Mortal Empires.png|180x180px]] [[Mortal Empires]] |'''[[The Creeping Jungle]]''' * Temple of Kara |Lustria |} ===[[File:Event Commander Activity Neutral.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Event%20Commander%20Activity%20Neutral.png|36x36px]]Legendary Lords=== {| class="wikitable" !Name !Faction Effects !Lord Effects !Starting Units |- ![[File:Emp wulfhart.png]] [[Markus Wulfhart]] |[[File:Faction leader.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Faction_leader.png]]'''Huntsmarshal of the Empire''' ''Markus Wulfhart's great deeds in service to the Empire have earned him the recognition of Karl Franz himself, who has bestowed unto him the title of Huntsmarshal: The Emperor's Captain of Scouts.'' *[[File:Army.png]]Limited Roster: Only basic units are immediately recruitable *[[File:Experience.png]]Reinforcements from the Empire bring powerful units to bolster your armies *[[File:Public order.png]]Hostile actions will result in retaliation from local factions, but will also empower your own armies *[[File:Experience.png]]Recruit rank: +3 for Huntsman Generals (factionwide) *[[File:Diplomacy.png]]Diplomatic relations: -40 with [[Lizardmen]] |[[File:Trait Human.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Trait_Human.png]]'''Captain of Scouts''' ''Markus Wulfhart's advanced tracking and slaying skills have earned him both a reputation and the recognition of Karl Franz himself.'' *[[File:Icon effects ambush.png]]Ambush defence chance: +50% ([[File:Icon Army.png|18x18px]]Lord's army) *[[File:Icon effects ambush.png]]Ambush success chance: +50% ([[File:Icon Army.png|18x18px]]Lord's army) *[[File:Military spending.png]]Upkeep: -50% for Archer and Huntsmen units ([[File:Icon Army.png|18x18px]]Lord's army) *[[File:Attribute Woodsman.png]]Attribute: Woodsman ([[File:Icon Army.png|18x18px]]Lord's army) | *2 [[Swordsmen]] *1 [[Spearmen (Empire)|Spearmen]] *1 [[Huntsmen]] *1 [[Archers (Empire)|Archers]] *1 [[War Wagon]]s |} * ===[[File:Bullet The Empire Emperor's Mandate.png]]Emperor's Mandate=== Sent to the shores of [[Lustria]] by Imperial Mandate, [[Markus Wulfhart]] intends to protect the [[New World Colonies]] from their Lustrian predators with only limited supplies and troop numbers, as further reinforcements will not arrive from the [[The Old World|Old World]] for quite some time. However, increasing the expedition's [[File:Bullet The Empire Emperor's Mandate.png|16x16px]]Acclaim by raiding the jungles and expanding your territory into them will lead to better-quality troops dispatched in your [[File:Icon Imperial Supplies.png|16x16px]]Imperial Supplies to further aid expedition. ==== Acclaim levels ==== * Level 1 - Scouts of the Empire (20) - ''The expedition is being supplied by the Imperial Quartermaster, who reinforces you with standard Imperial troops.'' **Standard Imperial Supplies received **Recruit rank: +2 for all Imperial Supplies units * Level 2 - Imperial Guardians (20) - ''The expedition is supported by the nobles of Reikland, who will help fund stronger reinforcements.'' **Advanced Imperial Supplies received ** Recruit rank: +2 for all Imperial Supplies units **Unlocks construction of Barracks and Livery buildings ** Diplomatic relations: -20 with Lizardmen * Level 3 - Huntsmarshal's Elites (40) - ''The expedition has the support of the Elector Counts, who will ensure you will receive superior troops from home.'' ** Advanced Imperial Supplies received ** Recruit rank: +3 for all Imperial Supplies units ** Diplomatic relations: -30 with Lizardmen * Level 4 - Vanquishers of Evil (60) - ''The expedition has the full recognition of the Emperor's court. The most elite troops of the Empire will be sent to support you.'' **Elite Imperial Supplies received ** Recruit rank: +3 for all Imperial Supplies units ** Unlocks construction of Menagerie and Foundry buildings ** Diplomatic relations: -40 with Lizardmen * Level 5 - Scourge of the Emperor's Foes (80) - ''The expedition's exploits are spoken of in every household across the Empire - its members will be known as legendary folk-heroes!'' ** Elite Imperial Supplies received ** Recruit rank: +3 for all Imperial Supplies units ** Unlocks construction of Engineer's Workshop buildings ** Diplomatic relations: -50 with Lizardmen *Level 6 - Champions of the Empire (100) - ''The expedition has proven beyond doubt to be the Emperor's most elite force, carrying out his will with unrelenting fortitude to annihilate all enemies of the Empire - and it will continue to do so!'' **Elite Imperial Supplies received ** Recruit rank: +4 for all Imperial Supplies units ** Progress in the Emperor's Mandate will no longer be lost ** Diplomatic relations: -60 with Lizardmen ===[[File:Event Death Neutral.png|36x36px]]Hostility=== The lands beyond the [[The Empire|Empire]] are are a hostile place - your actions there will not go unnoticed by the natives. Winning offensive [[battles]] and harassing local inhabitants will increase their Hostility towards you, but also improve your standing with the [[Karl Franz|Emperor]] and increase the rate at which [[File:Icon Imperial Supplies.png|16x16px]]Imperial Supplies reach the expedition. Cross the locals too much, though, and face their wrath! ==== Imperial Supplies ==== Every several turns, you will receive some reinforcements to aid your conquest of Lustria. This is shown in the [[Imperial Supplies Ready]] dilemma, where you will decide whether to gain infantry, cavalry, artillery, or war machines as your new units. Your chosen units can then be recruited into a Lord's army through the "Recruit from Imperial Supplies" button for free, similar to Regiments of Renown or Blessed Spawnings. ==== Hostility Levels ==== Hostility is raised by attacking enemy settlements and armies, events, and raiding and sacking. It is lowered by losing your Lords in battle and inactivity. Once you reach Level 5, the Hostility Level resets to 0. * Level 1 - Hostile (10) - ''You are more than a little unwelcome - the enemy are starting to take notice of you.'' ** Imperial Supplies will arrive at a low frequency ** Public order: -1 (all provinces) * Level 2 - Very Hostile (20) - ''You have agitated the enemy further - they now take heed of your aggression.'' ** Imperial Supplies will arrive at normal frequency ** Public order: -2 (all provinces) * Level 3 - ? (30) ** Imperial Supplies will arrive at faster frequency ** Public order: -2 (all provinces) * Level 4 - Severely Hostile (40) - ''Be on your guard - best be on your guard!'' ** Imperial Supplies will arrive at very high frequency ** Enemy leadership: +8 ** Enemy weapon strength: +15% ** Public order: -2 (all provinces) * Level 5 - Condemned! (50) - ''Your warmongering ways have put you right at the top of the enemy's hitlist!'' ** Imperial Supplies are dispatched immediately ** Hostility level resets to 0 after 5 turns ** Enemy leadership: +10 ** Enemy weapon strength: +25% ** Public order: -5 (all provinces) ===[[File:Bullet The Empire Wulfhart's Hunters.png]]Wulfhart's Hunters=== Scattered across the world are some of the finest [[File:Bullet The Empire Wulfhart's Hunters.png|16x16px]]hunters to ever have lived; track them down and secure their services to complete the expedition's goals whilst developing each hunter's unique attributes and learning of their past glories and tragedies. "Wulfhart's Hunters", as they call themselves, are an elite rag-tag group of trappers, hunters, [[Archers (Empire)|archers]] and scouts drawn from all over the Empire. Nowhere else in the Emperor's armies can a more diverse group of warriors be found in one unit. Such grim men come from as far south as [[Wissenland (province)|Wissenland]], or as far north as [[Middenland (province)|Middenland]]. City-born men of metropolises like Nuln or Altdorf rub shoulders with their comrades of more rural birth from the agricultural lands of [[Averland (province)|Averland]] or [[Stirland (province)|Stirland]]. These brave men fight side-by-side under the charismatic leadership of [[Markus Wulfhart]], and any regional differences are snuffed out instantly under his command. An eternal bond of brotherhood is forged as they fight against a common foe. Under the masterful leadership of Markus, Wulfhart's Hunters have earned the respect of their countrymen by being the most accomplished group of monster slayers in the [[The Empire|Empire]], and some say the entire [[The Old World|Old World]]. Such hunts include the killing of the Talonbeast of Stirland, the [[Ostermark (province)|Ostermark]] Ice [[Dragon]], and even the Chimera of Flamespire Peak, to name just a few. Whilst lesser men would run horrified by the monsters the world harbours in its dark corners, Wulfhart's Hunters stand their ground against such impossible odds, as both Markus and his men calmly steady their bows and aim for the killing strike. ===[[File:Event Mission Neutral.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Event%20Mission%20Neutral.png|36x36px]]Victory Conditions=== ====<u>Eye of the Vortex</u>==== [[File:Hunter Wulfhart Win.png|thumb|320x320px|[[Markus Wulfhart]] Victory]][[File:Long Campaign Victory WH1.png|36x36px]]'''Campaign Victory''' * At the start of your turn, have at least [[File:Bullet The Empire Emperor's Mandate.png|16x16px]]100 Acclaim * Destroy the following [[Factions|faction]](s): {| class="wikitable" ![[File:Spirit of the Jungle.png|24x24px]][[Spirit of the Jungle]] |} * Win the following [[Set piece battles|battle]]: {| class="wikitable" !Battle for Itza |} [[File:Long Campaign Victory WH1.png|36x36px]]'''Domination Victory''' * Destroy the following [[Factions|faction]](s): {| class="wikitable" ![[File:Eataine.png|24x24px]][[Eataine]] ![[File:Hexoatl.png|24x24px]][[Hexoatl]] ![[File:Last Defenders.png|24x24px]][[Last Defenders]] ![[File:Naggarond.png|24x24px]][[Naggarond]] ![[File:Clan Mors.png|24x24px]][[Clan Mors]] ![[File:Spirit of the Jungle.png|24x24px]][[Spirit of the Jungle]] |} * Maintain control of 50 [[Provinces|province]](s), either by direct ownership or through [[File:treaty_vassal.png|20px]][[vassal]]s and [[File:Treaty Military Alliance.png|18x18px]][[Military alliance|military allies]]. ====<u>Mortal Empires</u>==== [[File:The Empire Victory.png|thumb|320x320px|[[The Empire]] Victory]] [[File:Short Campaign Victory WH1.png|36x36px]]'''Short Campaign Victory''' *Maintain control of the following 11 [[Provinces|province]](s), either by direct ownership or through [[File:treaty_vassal.png|20px]][[vassal]]s and [[File:Treaty Military Alliance.png|18x18px]][[Military alliance|military allies]]: {| class="wikitable" ![[The Creeping Jungle]] ![[Northern Great Jungle]] ![[Southern Great Jungle]] ![[Vampire Coast (province)|Vampire Coast]] ![[Jungles of Green Mist]] ![[Headhunter's Jungle]] ![[Volcanic Islands]] ![[Huahuan Desert]] ![[Southern Jungles of Pahualaxa]] ![[Northern Jungles of Pahualaxa]] ![[The Galleon's Graveyard]] |} *Destroy the following [[Factions|faction]](s): {| class="wikitable" ![[File:Hexoatl.png|24x24px]][[Hexoatl]] ![[File:Itza.png|24x24px]][[Itza]] ![[File:Clan Pestilens.png|24x24px]][[Clan Pestilens]] ![[File:The Awakened.png|24x24px]][[The Awakened]] ![[File:The Dreadfleet.png|24x24px]][[The Dreadfleet]] |} *At the start of your turn, have at least [[File:Bullet The Empire Emperor's Mandate.png|16x16px]]100 Acclaim [[File:Long Campaign Victory WH1.png|36x36px]]'''Long Campaign Victory''' Same as the short campaign victory but with the following additions: *Destroy the following [[Factions|faction]](s): {| class="wikitable" ![[File:Spirit of the Jungle.png|24x24px]][[Spirit of the Jungle]] ![[File:Clan Mors.png|24x24px]][[Clan Mors]] |} *Control any 7 of the following [[settlements]] either by direct ownership or through [[File:treaty_vassal.png|20px]][[vassal]]s and [[File:Treaty Military Alliance.png|18x18px]][[Military alliance|military allies]]: {| class="wikitable" !Couronne !Altdorf !Castle Drakenhof !The Oak of Ages !Miragliano !Skavenblight !Kislev !Hell Pit !Karaz-a-Karak !Karak Eight Peaks !Black Crag |- !Lahmia !Khemri !Itza !Hexoatl !Naggarond !Lothern !Gaen Vale !The Awakening !The Galleon's Graveyard !Sartosa !

Conquest is not their business. *'''Hates Lizardmen''' - This leader hates Lizardmen; nothing can happen that will change that view. *'''Underdog''' - Instead of trying to get to the top of the food chain, this one prefers joining a worthy faction in confederation. ===[[File:Event General News Neutral.png|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Event%20General%20News%20Neutral.png|36x36px]]Starting Treaties=== The Huntsmarshal's Expedition will start with the following treaties already in effect: '''Eye of the Vortex''' * [[File:Treaty Non Aggression Pact.png|24x24px]]'''Non-Aggression Pact:''' **[[File:Wh2 main emp new world colonies crest.png|24x24px]][[New World Colonies]] *[[File:Treaty War.png|24x24px|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Treaty_War.png]]'''War:''' **[[File:Spirit of the Jungle.png|24x24px]][[Spirit of the Jungle]] **[[File:Wh2 main lzd tlaxtlan crest.png|24x24px]][[Tlaxtlan]] '''Mortal Empires''' * [[File:Treaty Non Aggression Pact.png|24x24px]]'''Non-Aggression Pact:''' **[[File:Wh2 main emp new world colonies crest.png|24x24px]][[New World Colonies]] *[[File:Treaty War.png|24x24px|link=http://totalwarwarhammer.gamepedia.com/File:Treaty_War.png]]'''War:''' **[[File:Wh2 main lzd tlaxtlan crest.png|24x24px]][[Tlaxtlan]] ==Strategy== * The Huntsmarshal's Expedition begins at war with [[Tlaxtlan]] and should continue that goal. From there, his campaign can be drawn in multiple directions. [[The Awakened]] and [[Vampire Coast Mutineers]] are to the East and will continue to destabilize [[Public Order|public order]] with [[Vampiric Corruption|vampiric corruption]] (this has the benefit of unlocking [[Hertwig Van Hal]] and his missions which are predominantly related to the [[Vampire Coast]]). To the West are the [[Savage Orc Tribes|Savage Orc tribe]], [[Blue Vipers]], who can prove a difficult thorn in the side. Their troops will dumpster Empire troops, but with the right Imperial Supply units, they can be beaten. This will also allow you to link up with the [[New World Colonies]] who should be your ally for most of the game. Finally, going South leads to [[Lizardmen]] and [[Skaven]], notably [[Itza]] and [[Gor-Rok]] *Overall, The Empire is a very strong race in both singleplayer and multiplayer games. Infantry, especially [[Halberdiers]] and [[Greatswords]], can hold the line well, but their ace in the hole is their war machine and cavalry catalogue. Imperial commanders can snatch up [[Demigryph Knights]] for wiping out enemy beasts and dealing with large armored threats (though fielding them against Bretonnian massed cavalry charges is a good way to get them killed) together with the [[Reiksguard]] shock cavalry (excellent against weaker opponents). The [[steam tank|Steam Tank]] shines among other war machines thanks to its versatility (ram ''and'' artillery), with [[Karl Franz]] being very powerful (though prohibitively expensive in multiplayer games). Other Lord choices are good, especially [[Balthasar Gelt]] after the Lore of Metal improvements. [[Hero]]es like the [[Witch Hunter]], [[Jade Wizard]], and [[Warrior Priest]]s round out the roster for single models, though they might be more useful on the campaign map than in battle. *No flying units other than high level characters mean the Empire is effectively hamstrung when dealing with factions that love flying units, like [[Bretonnia]], [[Wood Elves]], or [[Vampire Counts]]. They have to deal with them defensively, using units such as [[Handgunners]] (accurate, high AP), [[Lore of Light]], or the [[Luminark of Hysh]] to deal damage to the enemy. Combined with a trapping spell like [[Net of Amyntok]] enemy flyers need to be wary of wandering into imperial fields of fire. ==Trivia== *The eye getting pierced by arrows on the faction crest is believed to be the one eyed giant that destroyed Markus' home and family in the lore. {{Navbox factions tw2}} {{Navbox factions me}} {{navbox factions me2}} [[es:La Expedición del Mariscal Cazador]] [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II The Empire factions]] [[Category:Immortal Empires factions]] [[Category:The Empire factions]]
