What are good Co-Op race combos for Total War2+Base Game grand campaign thing?

Warhammer II

I know we tried once a long, long time ago and having undead as an ally was really painful.

Are there any good racial teams that dont hurt each other so much, that are fun?

Empire and Bretonnia.

Empire and Dwarfs.

Make sure you match corruption types (vampire, chaos, skaven or none), close locations but not too close and DONT match preferred terrain type.

So dwarves or angrund go well empire or brettonia.

Alith anar with any of the other high elves.

Chaos and beastmen

Wood elves go well with anyone - they can do their fighting a long way from home, can live with any corruption as they don’t worry about public order outside of athel Loren, don’t need to take lots of settlements, so the other player can have many, while the wood elves just take whatever is red terrain type for the other player.

Some that don’t really work - vc with von carstein, empire + brettonia, lothern and averlorn (competing for land)

Huh. Some of my best coop games have been Empire + Bretonnia. Don't get greedy with land partition and it is fine...

Maybe I’m just too selfish. What are you even meant to do if you can’t rush marienburg?!

Huh, it's coop. You have your back reliably covered by the Empire controlled by a player. And if you have financial difficulties, you can trade gold with him. Then just use some good tactics against Mousillon; once you get Lyonese it gets easier.

In mid game you don't even overlap at all. The Empire has frozen as mid hazard, and desert is green for Bretonnia. You have ways to expand without stepping on each other.

Are dinosaurs or HE/DE good with anyone?

Probably he with lizardmen would work alright as you can gang up on the de.

DE/Norsca wouldnt be a bad one. Morathi/Malekith is solid. Tyrion/Teclis would also work.

Teclis usually gets cucked for a real long time though. Unless your buddy decides to unify Ulthan and take a risk of leaving the north unguarded for a while just to make time to help you out. I might be doing something wrong but on VH/VH ME Teclis runs I get stuck for a least 100 turns just clearing vc corruption/skaven corruption.
