Content pack: Norsca. Immortal Empires ownership
- Unlocked by the Total War: Warhammer — Norsca pack for Immortal Empires. His Troll Empire mechanics arrived in the free Update 7.0; Sayl – Tides of Torment is a separate lord pack.
Leading Wintertooth
Choose Norsca and Wintertooth to play Throgg in Immortal Empires. His unusual intelligence makes him a ruler among Trolls as well as a large battlefield threat. He suits a campaign in which monsters shape both recruitment and territorial development.
Building the Troll Empire
Using Trolls generates Trollkind. Invest it in Troll buildings to advance Troll Country and strengthen Call the Monstrous Horde, which provides temporary reinforcements. Different settlement environments also open access to different kinds of Troll.
Consider the territory you are taking alongside the army you want to recruit there. A monster-focused campaign still needs settlements that can support the advance and forces able to defend ground while the main army moves on.
Keep the monstrous assault supported
Throgg brings physical force to a close fight. Move infantry and monsters together so that enemy units have several threats to answer. Letting the lord become surrounded while the rest of the force is still approaching wastes that support.
Marauders can occupy infantry while Skin Wolves move toward large targets. The two unit types give a Troll-heavy force other jobs to assign: holding an engagement and moving around its edges. Beorg is another melee hero option when you also own Sayl’s pack.
Wintertooth after Update 7.0
Throgg and Wulfrik come with the Norsca pack. Sayl does not. Throgg is the Troll King of Wintertooth: a melee monster whose faction, since Update 7.0, spends Trollkind on troll buildings and can call a monstrous horde for a limited time.
Other trolls are famous for strength and for a lack of wit. Throgg is the exception, and he uses that cunning to carry the cold south. The lore page is that king, and the Troll Empire Update 7.0 built around him.
