Editing Immortal Empires (section)

==End Game Scenarios==

The problem with Mortal Empires was that after a while, it got boring to play. Sure, with so many races and subfactions to choose from, there was '''a lot''' of content to keep your [[Cheetos|Dorito-stained fingers]] on the keyboard, but because every campaign ultimately ended up being "survive the [[Chaos]] invasion turn 80, then conquer all the other races", you were really starved for new experiences. 

Enter the End Game Scenarios, special world events that kicked in after a certain number of turns, ripped off from <s>better game makers</s> [[Stellaris]].  We'll probably get a Chaos invasion later too.

End Game Scenarios always spawn around the faction's capitals, regardless of whether or not the faction is still around, or even if you own them. 

The End Game Scenarios are:

*'''The Black Pyramid''': The [[Tomb Kings]] crisis.  A fuckton of hostile AI armies spawn from [[Nagash]]'s Black Pyramid and start conquering everything around it.
**Unlike the other scenarios, only the Black Pyramid generates doomstacks. Considering how close it is to [[Khemri]]/Arkhan's tower, you're kinda boned if you don't prepare for it as a Tomb Kings player. Unfluffy as it is, [[Arkhan the Black|Arkhan]] still has to fight them.

*'''A Grudge too Far''': The [[Dwarf (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dwarf]] crisis.  Throwback to the WH1 days when autoresolve heavily favored dwarfs and would often result in the various dwarf factions painting the entire map blue.

*'''Da Biggest [[Waaagh]]!''': The [[Orcs & Goblins|Greenskin]] crisis. Which you can confederate if you're playing a Greenskin faction. THATS RIGHT, YOU CAN MAKE THE GREENSKIN CRISIS ''YOUR GREENSKIN CRISIS!''

*'''The Wild Hunt''': The [[Wood Elf]] Crisis.  Another throwback to the WH1 days when the wood elves were [[Rage|hyperaggressive]] and posed [[Wat|a greater threat to the player than the forces of Chaos]].

*'''Vampiric Ascension''': The [[Vampire Count]] crisis.
**Vampire doomstacks for [[Mannfred von Carstein|Mannfred]], [[Heinrich Kemmler|Kemmler]], [[Helman Ghorst|Ghorst]], [[Vlad von Carstein|Vlad]], and [[the Red Duke]]. [[Bretonnia]] gets annihilated, and of note to Wood Elves who manage to retake the Haunted Forest from Ghorst.

*'''Vermintide''': <s>Nothing happens, man-sized rats don't exist</s> The [[Skaven]] crisis, undercities will pop up around the map, both in the army-spawning and Hiroshima varieties.
**One difference that sets the Skaven apart from other end-game scenarios is that the first doomstacks are [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|just a distraction]]. After a few more turns, the real Vermintide begins with the game spawning even more rats in each Clans' capital. 
**Skaven doomstacks are very annoying because of their inherent Ambush stance. The only real defense against it is setting your own stacks in Ambush and hope your [[Creed|Tactical Genius]] beats theirs. 

It's notable that if you trigger Black Pyramid, Da Biggest Waaagh!, Vampiric Ascension, Vermintide and a Chaos Invasion at the same time at max strengths, you've basically recreated [[the End Times]].
