Not to mention Herdstone regions are 'Home' regions for you and therefore your hordes will have increased Casualty Replenishment when in a Herdstone region. And Herdstones have their own Local Recruitment separate to your Local Horde Recruitment, so you may be able to build 4 units from your 'Horde' and 3 units from the 'Herdstone' recruitment pools for a total of 7, when otherwise you would only have been able to build 4. Also Herdstones apparently allow you to recruit units in them, so if you have a Tier 4 Herdstone it should allow a new Lord to recruit Minotaurs even if that Lord has not yet build the Minotaur Horde Building. Why? Because more Herdstones means more 'Dreadful Shamanic Rituals' Herdstone Enhancements which give +20% Dread from Battles (Factionwide) which I believe stacks. So a fully upgraded Herdstone Enhancement will cost 6000 favor, and a Herdstone with both enhancements will cost 12000 favor.ДЄ Tier 3 Herdstone with both Enhancements at Tier 3 will have a very strong garrison.ДЇor now, ignore my below unless you want to test it and report back if busbee247 is right or wrong:Д«ut upon completing my campaign and considering it, instead of raising a herdstone and then trying to raze all 5-6 regions in its bloodground, it may be better to raise a herdstone and then raze just enough to reach 10 Devastation, complete the Ritual of Ruin, then go raise another herdstone and repeat, as long as those other herdstones will be able to reach 10 devastation. Herdstone Enhancements cost favor to build and upgrade: 1000 at Tat Tat Tier 3. New Herdstones will be built at whatever Tier you have bought with Dread, and old Herdstones can be upgraded in 1 turn for free.

You want to upgrade Herdstones to at least Tier 3, because you can get 2 Herdstone Enhancements at Tier 2, and at Tier 3 you can upgrade your Enhancements to Tier 3. Completing a Ritual of Ruin means the AI cannot resettle a ruin unless they destroy the Herdstone first.* When you win a settlement battle, you can Raise Herdstone (ENDS ALL MOVEMENT),Q Raze & Advance (+10% casualty replenishment, moderate additional movement), or Loot & Raze (+10 Bestial Rage, small additional movement).ДЄ raised Herdstone creates a 'Bloodground' in a certain number of regions around it, marking which settlements will provide 'Devastation' for that Herdstone's Ritual of Ruin. TL DR - Building Herdstones allows you to raze settlement in that Herdstone's 'Bloodgrounds' in order to get Devastation, which at 10+ Devastation allows you to complete a Ritual of Ruin that will convert the Herdstone's Devastation Level into 'Marks of Ruination' which unlocks additional unit and army capacity and eventually at 500 Marks of Ruination allows you to fight the Final Battle and win the campaign. You can choose to reduce the cost of increasing Hero Capacity by 50% while giving +5 recruit rank to that hero type for each of your 3 hero types, or you can choose to decrease the cost of increasing Minotaur capacity by 25%. This is the Stampede you should prioritize unless your strategy is to move Taurox at a slower pace and don't need Replenish Movement as much, in which case Stampede of Morrslieb is an excellent choice.ДЇinally, once you reach Cataclysmic Rampage Streak, your rampage will end and you can claim a Cataclysmic Reward. IMPORTANT! Once you reach Savage Rampage Streak, you can claim 'Stampede of the Chosen', which reduces the momentum cost of Replenish Movement from 2 to 1. Also you lose 1 momentum when you end your turn, so keep that in mind as well. IMPORTANT! Replenish Movement costs 2 momentum, and if your momentum reaches 0, your rampage ends early. Once you have unlocked Harsh Rampage, you can replenish Taurox's movement at the cost of two (2) momentum, and you can claim one of the Harsh Rampage 'Onslaught' rewards (choose whichever Onslaught you like, player preference for these, I typically just chose the far right Horrific Onslaught) You cannot use 'Replenish Taurox's Movement Range' until you reach 'Harsh Rampage Streak' which you will get after you get 50 Rampage Marks from winning battles and sacking settlements. Harsh Rampage has 4 different 'Onslaughts', Savage Rampage has 4 different 'Stampedes', and Cataclysmic Rampage has 4 different 'Calls'. Now open the Rampage Panel and you will see 'Harsh Rampage > Savage Rampage > Cataclysmic Rampage'.

Now look at the bottom left of the screen at Taurox's portrait, and then look to the upper left of Taurox's portrait, you will see another little circle called ' Replenish Taurox's Movement Range' To the right is the Marks of Ruination bar. To the left of those you have your Total Favor (and predicted favor next turn), your Herdstone Shards, and your Dread. Look at the top middle of your screen, you should see a little circle called the Rampage Panel, and below the Rampage Panel there will be the Momentum icon.
