[[File:Black Ark.jpg|thumb|right|400px|A Black Ark (left) alonside two Dark Elves armies embarked in ships.]] :''Not to be confused with [[Black Ark (building)]].'' [[File:Bullet def black arks.png|25px]]'''Black Arks''' are huge floating fortresses available to the [[Dark Elves]] in [[campaign]]. ==Overview== Black Arks can only be recruited at a [[port]] [[settlement]] after performing the [[Sacrifice to Mathlann]] [[rite]]. Each time the rite is performed, 1 Black Ark (and their associated lord) becomes available. The exception to this is the [[The Blessed Dread]], which gets a Black Ark for every coastal/port settlement they control. Black Arks work similar to [[hordes]], in that they can construct [[buildings]] like a settlement, but can also recruit [[units]] and move around the map, like an army. They can also exchange units with any army which has [[embarked]] upon the water. Obviously though, Black Arks are restricted to the ocean/waterways. Black Arks have their own [[Black Ark growth]], which buildings require to upgrade. Black Arks can attack and be attacked by embarked armies, which takes place on a unique battle map. Unlike hordes, Black Arks do not have to enter [[encamp]]ed stance to recruit units, but are placed in their unique [[Dread Expansion]] stance instead. Units available to a Black Ark can also be recruited to any regular army within their area of support, though movement will be disabled for both until recruitment is finished. Like armies and hordes, Black Arks can [[treasure hunt]] in the ocean. Due to the Fleetmaster trait of the Lord in charge of the Ark, they are immune to all water-specific forms of attrition (High seas, reefs and storms). As of the [https://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-warhammer-ii-the-potion-of-speed-update/ potion of speed update], Black Arks can attack and blockade a port settlement, and colonize a [[ruined]] coastal/port settlement. == Talent Tree == * [http://www.warhammercalc.com/calc/darkelves/blackArk/ Black Ark talent tree] ==Stances== [[Stances]]: * None * [[Dread Expansion]]: Expand the area from which they can support friendly armies. * [[Full Speed]]: Increase campaign movement. ==Army Abilities== [[File:Campaign def ship black ark 0.png|thumb|right|Black Ark unit thumbnail.]] Black Arks also confer several [[army abilities]] on nearby armies fighting [[battles]] on land. * [[Khaine's Lash]] - available at base ** [[Khaine's Flail]] - available after constructing [[Sacrificial Pit of Khaine]], replaces previous *** [[Khaine's Scourge]] - available after constructing [[Abbatoir of Khaine]], replaces previous * [[Sky Cauldron]] - available at base ** [[Brazen Cauldron]] - available after constructing [[Brazen Cauldron (building)]], replaces previous *** [[Bloodwrack Cauldron]] - available after constructing [[Bloodwrack Cauldron (building)]], replaces previous * [[Soul Rain]] - available at base ** [[Soul Torrent]] - available after constructing [[Soul Brazier]], replaces previous *** [[Soul Storm]] - available after constructing [[Soul Furnace]], replaces previous * [[Bolt of Spite]] - only available with [[Gargantuan Black Ark]] ==Black Ark Buildings== ===Main Black Ark buildings=== * [[Small Black Ark]] ** [[Black Ark (building)]] *** [[Grand Black Ark]] **** [[Enormous Black Ark]] ***** [[Gargantuan Black Ark]] ===Unit recruitment=== * [[Shrine of Khaine (Black Ark)]] * [[Sorceress Cabin]] ** [[Spire of Sorcery]] * [[Corsair Cabins]] ** [[Raider Lodges]] * [[Harpy Cages]] ** [[Monster Holds]] *** [[Dragon Tower]] * [[Warrior Hall]] ===Defense=== * [[Sacrificial Pit of Khaine]] ** [[Abbatoir of Khaine]] * [[Brazen Cauldron (building)]] ** [[Bloodwrack Cauldron (building)]] * [[Soul Brazier]] ** [[Soul Furnace]] ===Other=== * [[Fighting Pits (Black Ark)]] ** [[Arena (Black Ark)]] * [[Slave Hold]] ** [[Cell Decks]] *** [[Prison Wing]] * [[Torture Posts (Black Ark)]] ==Strategy== {{strategy}} [[Category:Dark Elves]] [[Category:Dark Elves units]] [[Category:Rites]]
