Campaign Mechanics 
- Empire management. 
management. 
- State of the Empire. When Empire factions hold all (or most) of the 25 
Empire regions, the Empire gets a bonus to growth and public order. When 
regions fall out of Empire control, the bonus turns into an increasing penalty 
depending on how many regions have fallen, while diplomatic relations with 
the surviving Elector Counts rises. Seize the opportunity to confederate the 
frightened Elector Counts and restore the Empire to glory! 
- The Emperor’s Decisions. At regular intervals, you will be presented with 
opportunities to decide how to allocate the Empire’s tax income to provide 
various bonuses to diplomatic relations, as well as internal policies. 
- Tax rate management. Raise taxes at the cost of public order and growth, 
leave them unchanged, or lower them for increased public order and growth. 
- Dilemmas and Incidents. Many new events have been added. Will you tell 
your people the truth about the Skaven, or will the Witch Hunters continue 
to hunt down the heretics spreading these vile rumors? 
- AI improvements. When not playing the Empire, you decide if the Empire 
will unite as a whole, or if the Elector Counts will bicker and war with each 
other. A unified Empire will declare war on factions that take too much of its 
territory. Should the Empire begin to fall, it will make a final stand and 
summon a powerful Imperial army. 
- Public Order now affects untainted and chaos corruption.

- Should public order fall to -50 or below, chaos corruption will begin to 
spread. 
- When above 50, the province gains a bonus to untainted. 
- New Factionwide skill added: Imperial Tactics

Existing Unit Changes: 
- Dryads 
Dryads 
- The only low-tier “tanky” unit for the Wood Elves 
- Have very high resistance and armor compared to Elf infantry, along with 
much more health 
- With 70 leadership, Immune to Psychology and strong Vigour, they are very 
good at holding up weak points in your lines and tying down the enemy 
- Low melee stats, but magical attacks do give them an edge. 
- Very fast with 42 movespeed, can get into combat very fast 
- Eternal Guard

- Semi-elite infantry, but available as a Tier 1 unit

large 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- Wardancers 
Wardancers 
- The glassiest of the glass cannons 
- Almost no armor, their only saving grace is their ward save and physical 
resist 
- Incredibly strong fighters however. High melee stats, insane weapon 
damage, strong vigour, and bonus vs Inf means that these ladies shred 
anyone them come in contact with 
- Best used on the enemy flanks, where they can attack without worry of being 
attacked themselves 
- Can use The Shadow’s Coil active skill to increase their missile resist, at a 
cost of melee stats. Perfect for closing the distance to the enemy under 
missile fire 
- At 50 speed, they are an incredibly quick and agile unit 
- Wardancers (Asrai spear)

- An anti-armor variant of the Wardancers, not anti-large 
- Just as squishy as their other sisters 
- However, they have armor sundering AND armor piercing attacks, making 
them INSANE against armored targets.

However, its best to use Wardens, Rangers, or Eternal Guard to finish them 
off

- A high-magic damage variant of the Deepwood Scouts 
 
- Magical attacks, along with the ability to fire two projectiles per shot instead 
of one 
- These are an insanely high damage unit, but be careful against anything with 
high magic resistance 
- Waywatchers  
Waywatchers
- Possibly the best archer unit in the entire game 
- Highest range out of almost any other archer unit with 200, only equal to 
the Sisters of Averlorn 
- Absurd damage output, with a 14 normal 15 AP damage split, and firing 
every 5.3 seconds. Their ability buffs increase their damage and reload speed 
to even more ludicrous values 
- Everything a skirmisher could ever want, including snipe, an ability that 
allows them to fire without being detected. 
- Can hold their own in melee, with fairly good stats and poison weapon 
attacks. However, still squishy. 
- Wild Riders 
Riders 
- High-tier elite cavalry 
- One of the fastest cavalry units in the game with 110 movespeed, strider, and 
strong vigour 
- Great melee stats, damage, and charge bonus 
- Excell against infantry, with a 30 bonus vs infantry on their attacks 
- Only downside is that they are very squishy with low HP and almost no 
armor. Only thing that can save them is their 30% ward save 
- Wild Riders (shields) 
(shields) 
- The anti-large version of the Wild Riders 
- Are granted gold shields, and trade their 30 bonus vs inf for high AP and 
30 bonus vs Large 
- Great for taking out enemy Cavalry, just be careful about head-on 
engagements as Wild Riders are still a very squishy unit. Flank and rear 
charges are they way to win with these guys. 
- Glade Riders 
Riders 
- Low tier skirmishing cavlary 
- Excellent at skirmishing, with 100 movespeed, strider, and strong vigour 
- However, can easily be killed by enemy ranged fire, with only 7000 hp and 
15 armor  
- Can actually fight in melee, but only against the most basic of units. Can be 
used to run down enemy ranged units or routing units 
- Glade Riders (hagbane tips) 
tips) 
- Glade Riders, but with poison ranged attacks 
- Better at debuffing the enemy lines, but worse damage overall 
- Hawk Riders 
Riders 
- Unique flying ranged skirmishers 
- Can be used to great effect due to their high flying speed, and ability to not 
be tied down due to land units 
- Can control the skies with their high melee stats and AP melee weapon 
damage 
 
- Low unit count, but very high missile damage at 132. Best used to take down 
strong enemy targets, not hordes 
- Sisters of the Thorn 
Thorn 
- Unique magical ranged skirmish cavalry 
- Have two bound spells, Shield of Thorns with 3 casts, and Curse of Anraheir 
with 2 casts 
- Can also skirmish very well with 52 AP Posion ranged attacks, along with 
high move speed 
- Surprisingly tanky, thanks to their 20% ward save and 15% phys resist 
- Great Eagle 
Eagle 
- Flying monster tailor-made for lord/elite sniping 
- Great maneuverability, with high AP damage and bleed attacks make this 
unit great for sniping out lords, especially non-melee ones. 
- Can also go toe-to-toe with other flying units, its bleed attacks giving it the 
edge against other aerial opponents 
- Vulnerable to enemy ranged fire, even with 25% missile resist 
- Treekin  
Treekin
- Mid tier monstrous unit 
- Differs from the rest of the roster in that they’re extremely tanky, but with 
lower damage output (compared to other monsters) 
- 85 armor, 15K HP, physical and missile resist plus charge defence against 
large make these guys very tanky and hard to take down 
- High leadership and immune to psychology make them unlikely to run from 
battle 
- Not the best offensively, but do have magical attacks and AP damage 
- Their one weakness is to fire attacks, which will do an extra 40% damage to 
them 
- Treeman  
Treeman
- A larger, single model, more offensively focused monster unit compared to 
Treekin 
- Tankiest unit in the entire roster, comparable only to the forest Dragon. 14K 
HP, 95 Armor, and high resistance all combine to make the Treeman very 
hard to take down 
- Again, one weakness is to fire attacks. 
- Higher melee attack, damage, AOE, and magical attacks make Treemen great 
on the offensive. Still less effective than other factions large monsters 
- Forest Dragon 
Dragon 
- The most powerful, highest tier unit in the Wood Elves roster 
- With 100 armor, 10K hp, and 15% ward save, and the ability to fly, this guy 
is not going to be easy for anyone to kill 
- Poison attacks, poison breathe, and 600 mostly-AP damage make them one 
of the strongest offensive units in the roster 
- Can control the skies for the Wood Elves, however does not do well against 
flying spam or other dragons 
 
 
New SFO Units: 
- Shadow Dancers 
Dancers
- Legendary Unit 
- Only recruitable from Shadow Dancers building 
- Small, elite support unit 
- Has spells that debuff enemies 
- Eternal Wardens 
Wardens 
- Elite anti-infantry unit 
- Low numbers, but insanely good stats 
- High armor, gold tier shields, high resistances, and charge defence against 
large makes them very hard to take down 
- They shred through infantry with AP bonus vs infantry attacks. 
- Buff wood elves around them with +4 leadership and +4 melee defence. 
- The perfect keystone unit for your defensive frontline, can hold, buff, and 
dish out damage to advancing enemies all at once. 
- Wildwood Wardens 
Wardens 
- An even more elite version of Wildwood Rangers 
- Perfect for sniping enemy high-tier cavalry, monsters, or large-sized lords. 
- Due to their low numbers (24 models) they are much less effective against 
hordes and larger unit sizes. Can still hold their own against most cavalry.

Capacity Systems 
Steel Faith Overhaul II lets you decide how your campaign will play thanks to the Units 
Caps System. You can decide which Caps System you want to use.  
 
FACTIONWIDE CAPS​ CAPS​ enables a system similar to the Tomb Kings where unit types are 
limited, and you must build buildings to extend the cap. Each faction also has unique 
mechanics to extend their unit caps.  
 
 
ARMY CAPS​
CAPS​ enables a system which limits how many unit types you can have in a single 
army; for example, you could only have X number of Swordmasters of Hoeth and Y 
number of Phoenix Guard per army. ‘Factionwide and Army Caps’ is, you guessed it, a 
combination of both systems.  
 
BOTH​​ you can use both systems at once. 
BOTH
 
NO CAPS​
CAPS​ no caps will be added to your game. 
 
NOTE:​​ Enabling the Caps system may make your game harder. The AI will also have the 
NOTE:
same limitations.
