Just tried an Immortal Empires Slannesh campaign and it felt like hell?

To start with, there's no reprieve from the wrath of Alarielle. She's constantly coming at me from the safety of the nearby gate. If I try to go west, Eltharion comes in from the south with a steel chair. I've managed to vassalize one faction by turn 25, but now Belakor wants to throw down with Me! Not the surrounding elves. Just. Me.

Oh! And I'm having a hard time with keeping my army in fighting force, due to low replenishment!

I honestly want to re-start the campaign and abandon it for other shores. I'm genuinely considering moving to the chaos wastes or Norsca, just to have a different area. Invading the Donut feels like the endgame of a Slannesh campaign, not the start.

I'm Sorry that this post ended up as a rant. I really..... Really want to enjoy Slannesh's game play. I like the micro intensive nature of it. I want to feel the ecstasy of chariots shredding my enemies. I want to flank my enemies to death.

But I think I hate the campaign too much to put up with it.

EDIT: I took your advice!

It’s turn 18 and I’m doing much, much better than I was when I stayed on the donut.

I vassalized a pocket elf nation to provide a future beach head. I made sure to have good relations with Belakor. I moved over to Norsca to bully Wulfrik and work on getting some vassals.

I plan on coming back to ulthuan but this time I won’t be cornered. It helped my mood to realize that now I’m not on the defensive I am on the offensive. I’m not surviving the elven vietnam this is now my Slanneshi D Day.

I think I’m going to have a much better time, and I have your responses to thank!!!!!
