Masters of Innovation and Malakai’s Adventures
Malakai's Adventures turn reports of formidable enemies into engineering expeditions. Complete their preparations, improve the relevant war machines and take on the concluding battles. Successful adventures bring further upgrades for the Spirit of Grungni.
Choose an adventure around what your army can field and what you can defend while it travels. A new machine gives the force another tool; it still needs a formation and suitable targets. The shared Dwarf grudges give you other reasons to fight along the way.
The Spirit of Grungni
The Spirit of Grungni is Malakai's mobile workshop and transport vessel. It supports recruitment and campaign infrastructure, and can be called into battle to help the army. Its development belongs alongside the settlement network that pays for the expedition.
In The Realm of Chaos, Malakai has his own objectives separate from the Ursun storyline. Immortal Empires places the Masters of Innovation in the larger sandbox.
Support the guns and protect their approach
Malakai fights as a ranged support lord using firearms and explosives. Put him near the missile and artillery troops he supports, with infantry guarding their approaches. His Slayer oath is no reason to abandon the machines for an unsupported charge.
Dwarf Warriors can screen those positions, while Irondrakes handle close-range shooting. Garagrim adds a dedicated melee hero when recruited through his mission; he has a different job from the engineer leading the army.
Slayer-engineer and two airships
Malakai – Thrones of Decay unlocks the Master of Innovation and Garagrim. The Unsinkable sank, the Indestructible blew up, the guild expelled him, and he took the Slayer oath. The Spirit of Grungni is the game's airship, first used against Skaven in Wissenland.
Daemonslayer is the novel where he, Ulrika, Snorri Nosebiter, and Max Schreiber first appear, on an experimental airship bound for Karag Dum. That ship is not given the game's name on the jacket.
