He really is, and to be honest, I think I like him more than Skulltaker.

The steam tank is pretty sweet. There are a couple big monsters that are great at just ramming into things and tanking. One of my favorites are the Triceratops, because they can become completely OP by just leveling up. They can get a trait that allows them to reroll 1s and most of their saves is 2+, and they can get regeneration so even if they get hit 1 or 2 times they just heal on their own, it's silly.

You can hold spacebar to speed up the rolls, but if you press CTRL + spacebar it skips it.

Probably Vampire Counts or Norsca also. They are both factions that I like a lot but haven't been updated since WH1 (mostly). But I wouldn't mind Lizardmen so they can finally get a proper faction mechanic that works. I moslty want DLC for factions for the faction update more than I want new units for them. Same, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I will eventually, but in these melee focused factions, I tend to not prioratize it because most units will be in combat most of the time so they will not be able to shoot much.

Good thing the base game is free. I hope your luck turns around soon!

@@lazygrouse Thanks! Watching you play keeps my spirits up! Keep up the good work!

@Raider0075 I'm glad you enjoy it!

I'll go a couple. :)

Dragon scales are in short supply, so I'm focusing on the horde buildings because Walach has a landmark that generates 1 per turn. But I'll upgrade Nuln eventually.

Yeah, I find it eventually. I just have to get the orders and tech to get the non Blood Dragons ones, but I will start upgrading them soon.

@@GTrevise Yeah, I have finally upgraded some (I'm a bit ahead) and they are awesome! They are big armoured wargulfs.

@@lazygrouse That sounds like most possibly the most awesome thing I've ever heard. This mod is awesome. So impressed at the ingenuity of the community

@@GTrevise It's such a fun and well made mod. It's pretty difficult but everything is really fun.

@@sharkforce8147 Haha, that works for me. Ignore the tiny man inside the mosquito.

Yeah, they are absolutely terrible at fighting. But they are great at just standing there and catching bullets and swords with their torsos. Wight guards would have been nice though.

Haha, whoops.

I haven't gotten rank 3 until this run but it was on the knights so I guess those are different since I don't think big monsters get more entities and replenishment. What do they get?

@@lazygrouse I believe the dragon got 3 or 5 Wounds and +50% Replenishment.

@ieasy12 ooh, that's nice. That compensates a bit for the weak first skill.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Nothing more festive than excessive violence! :)

Frohe Weihnachten to you too! May all your Wurst be brat and all your beers German!

@@lazygrouse a man of my heart! Be safe brother danke...

I'm glad you enjoy them! I hope I can help you sleep in that case. :)

Easy to miss. Most speed buffs only last a turn, which is why unholy vigor is so good. :)

They seem to be in short supply right now.

@@garrhettroebuck8402 well, tis the season. Perfect for a vamp run.

@@countswagula6150 Nice, enjoy the club! :)

@@BasedMemesmods Hey, awesome mod, happy to show it off! I have the dev pack, but I think you're right that I missed the reservoir. I'll try it out, thanks!

@ make sure you only sub to the proper audio mixer and unsub from the dev pack. Dev pack was just a stop gap until we could roll all of the communities audio into 1.

@@BasedMemesmods Ok, good to know, Thanks! I'll try it out. :)

I have some audio pack for the mod, I think it's that one.

Side note, don’t take any quest battles until you have more of the Ordo units, trust me on this one lol.

Side note the second, Ordo headquarters are in the Grandmasters hordes.

That is good to know, I'll keep that in mind. And I did learn my lesson of the quest battles, I'll get some better stuff before trying anything like that again.

Right, good point. I forgot that was a thing he does. I'll keep that in mind!

@@lazygrouse No prob, its why I brought it up so that you can get the full experience! That and LL defeats are the most reliable source for dragon scales, soooooo...yeah!

@@Cheletiba Thanks! I'll definitely try to hunt some LL's in the campaign. :)

It will come soon. I'll take a break from elves for the next run, but then it will be time for the hydra to shine!

It is such a cool mod and I have been looking forward to trying it, and so far it is awesome. It is really hard, but in a fun way. I find him pretty soon, and I guess you'll just have to find out what happens (no spoilers :P). That is a good idea, to get a better scales income. I'll keep that in mind.

@ I am pretty sure each grandmaster has a building that has scale production, but their all tier 5 so it’ll take a while. Honestly, just getting an extra lord to raid a random territory (or even your own after you have a few) is a really good way to get steel too!! Edit: also just in case, check out the third tab of all the hero/lord screens. Trust me, it’s good to check it out. Also also, you can get scales (and lots of valour) by killing faction leaders, so it’s good jump from battle to battle while not killing full factions so you can kill their lords. Not to mention Abhorash’s worthy challenger mechanic encourages you to hunt down LL’s. Final thing I swear, don’t bother taking settlements other than blood keeps and the stuff around them. It’s just not worth it. (Can you tell I play this mod a lot lol!!)

@@the_king_of_kings_3413 Yeah, I did find a building on Walach where we get the scales, I'll aim for that one. I figured only taking blood keeps is a good idea, since there is such a big demand for dragons scales and they seem pretty hard to come by.

@ yeah, that’s what I went for. Get blood keep to get The Boi then tank up (I recommend using the wood elves as a punching bag cause that’s a lot of LL close together, and Blood Knights are auto resolve gods, then just wipe out the French.) Also I recommend getting the recruit defeated LL mod because OmG it’s so fun collecting the other sired of Abhorash (red duke, Vlad, etc)

@@the_king_of_kings_3413 Oooh, I didn't think of recruit LLs, I forgot the faction actually counts as vampire counts.

Reptilian cav is so much fun. Especially if you manage to get raptor aspect so you can demolish other cav.

You're in luck then, because I plan on both of those runs very soon. :)

@@lazygrouse Huzzah! Really love your coverage of this game and TWW 3 as well. Keep up the dope work.

I guess that is one way of seeing it, but the cav definitely routed of some valuable things that ranged would have trouble with without kiting for a couple of turns. Melee combat is definietly more risky, but I do think each kill is more valuable as in the number doesn't reflect performance. As an example, a basic archer will not get many kills on deep guards unless you kite them for a couple of turns, but shooting goblins and other chaff will skyrocket their kills. While elite cav can route a full unit of high defense units which effectively kills the entire unit but maybe only get 6 kills. But there are of course examples where the archers have really good value like shooting into wardancers or skulkers where melee would be much more risky.

@@lazygrouse Definitely not suggesting melee kills are less significant. I'm just pointing out that both have their good points that can make them more valuable. I mean, even if ranged doesn't kill the entire unit, it can fairly often make that unit a lot less effective. In the end, it's great to combine some of both... a group of 15 deepguards is a lot less appealing to charge your cav into than a group of 4-5 deepguards.

@@sharkforce8147 Absolutely, ranged is amazing in this game. :)

👍🏾

Maybe some bows on the wolfriders could have been okay but they were supposed to be in combat most of the fight. But the pterodactyls I stand by not taking bows, because getting 3 3 power shots feels useless. Plus, we had plenty of shooting that were much better already. :)

@@lazygrousebows on the pterodactyls would have been bad in combat but boy would it have been great flair

In a goblin run, bows on the wolfriders is pretty strong due to how many riders you can get due to the goblin unique upgrade as well as the normal unit size ones, so you have 13 or more wolfriders shooting up low-defense units before charging through them, especially if they also get the rerolls on flanks/rear charges. I love using them so much.

What skill do the wolf riders have? Is it hard for them to get more?

@@countswagula6150 They start with 3 and I believe they can get the Veteran Skill upgrade to give them +1, like other melee units. Not as amazing as Imperial Light Cavalry, in my opinion, but they do the job for goblins. I don't play a lot though since my personal computer is toaster-tier, but it is fun when I do.

Yeah, probably. It really annoyed me. :P

Yeah, the high tier infantry looks insane. It looks sweet!

Haha, that is amazing. Absolute beast of a griffon rider, but then he was just done and faked an injury so he could go home and chill for a bit.

What do you mean? They are red and they give gifts (that may or may not be death or a blood kiss), how is that not in the spirit of christmas? :P

I'll keep that in mind. :)

Spoilers! Luckily I'm a bit ahead already so I can confirm that Abhorash will return. :)

Really fun so far, but the mod is not pulling it's punches. It is though just having access to zombies and skeletons while starting next to Elspeth and Karl.

I'm glad you like it! :)

Oh, yeah that makes sense. Makes sense though, they are both awesome cav.
