Reviving a faction
To revive a defeated faction, you need to trigger a rebellion by any means necessary in a specific region (you might need to abandon your province capital) with less than 30% corruption (i.e. untainted must be over 70%).

The rebellion will spawn an army led by generic lord under the banner of the defeated faction. If they manage to capture the city then the faction will eventually recruit their legendary lord(s) and also enables diplomacy (and confederation if applicable).

Note that the revive region for factions changes based on the campaign you are playing (Vortex or Mortal Empires). Below you can find a list of regions where rebellions can be caused by defeated factions (extracted from start_pos_regions table) for every legendary lord (including those who cannot be revived). If there are multiple regions, you choose to cause a rebellion at any of them.

Thank you very much for this :chivsalute: :microraptor:

I just Blessed Dread Rebels even though my untainted was well below 70%. I think it's because no single type of corruption was above 29. (when I hit end turn, corruptions were 25% vampire, 21% skaven, 53% untainted.

Does this still work in Warhammer 3?

TY for Settra's introduction :)

Yes you can confederate Nakai; the only problem is when you do that, every province that had one of his temples in it turns into a lvl 1 settlement...guppies for your enemies to swallow. Best to confederate him ASAP.
OnePunchGay 16 Jun, 2021 @ 3:31am 
is there any tip to reach nakai before he dead in mortal empire campaign... do other lizard faction able to confederate him?
Ravenloft 13 Jun, 2021 @ 4:16pm 
Upvoted for introducing Settra properly <3
Randomly Generated Name 13 Jun, 2021 @ 2:36am 
technically you can revive norsca you just have to work out which tribe has throgg and wulfrick confederated into and bring them back, this is easiest done with Chaos
Ratich 30 Apr, 2021 @ 8:04am 
Technically you can't revive anyone from a Gate since Gates can't have revolts
mastervovan 17 Apr, 2021 @ 11:36pm
