Strategy[]
In Immortal Empires N'kari starts in north-eastern Ulthuan, with the mission of taking the entire thing. As anyone who has tried eating the donut knows this is a daunting task, however the Seducers have more strings to their bow than they may initially appear.
Firstly, you start with a cult in Saphery. This gives you a trading partner, causes corruption problems for both Avelorn and Eataine, and will give you the option to subjugate them fairly early on. This is a valuable card that needs to be played carefully; if you simply turn them into a vassal as soon as you are able they will likely get crushed very quickly for little benefit. You ideally need to do it at a critical juncture to distract one of Tyrion and Alarielle while you're dealing with the other.
Secondly, you will quickly be able to establish diplomatic ties with Scourge of Khaine and the Cult of Pleasure, and build seduction over both. So long as both she and you stay in the game Morathi will become your pawn eventually, and you can not only take her gold but use her as a distraction to the west if parts of Ulthuan are still giving you problems.
You will have to fight a defensive war in Nagarythe while you are pushing through Yvresse, or vice versa. High Elves are fairly well equipped to deal with Slaanesh since they have plenty of anti-large and ranged. However the silly playthings leave huge amounts of forest all over their maps, which is great news for your fast flankers. All in all, N'kari makes for a challenging but highly satisfying campaign, all the more so because it has an obvious end point.
Try not vassalizing any High Elves faction as this isn't as beneficial, long-term wise. Scrouge of Khaine and Cult of Pleasure along with the nearby Vampire Coast factions will dislike you vassalizing the High Elves, and the High Elves AI (especially minor factions ones) are somewhat defensive. They won't attempt to launch an attack on anything not on their home continent. Even if they do, they might attack a landmark that you want to own yourselves. But they're also likely to declare war on you if you break the vassalization pact with them. It's good to vassalize them in the early game as you can demand some of their armies to defend some sort of "chokepoint" settlement on the Northern side while you deal with Eltharion down south.
Notably, as of now, this faction suffers from a major condition known as "a severe lack of Heroes that can increase replenishment" along with "a lack of compentent allies nearby that won't backstab you as soon as your balance of power drops" which makes replenishing units painfully slow while the local High Elves have 2 types of Heroes that can increase replenishments along with Lore of Magic that can heal. To compensate, try to build buildings that can increase replenishment near the frontlines while use the summoning armies to either bait enemies to ambush or fodder during battles.
