I've ran a nurgling only ku'gath it's all about ideal attack windows slow as hell. I wouldn't label it as fun or fulfilling like some campaigns but it exists...
On my third attempt at Nurgling Only, I actually managed to beat Ghorst. Only to realize that the only viable playstyle simply wasn't fun or entertaining for me lol.
Have you tried boosting their morale like youre talking to a small child or dog? Its the nurgle experience. "Who is a good little frog? You are! Yes you are!" "Wow you alnost killed that one guy by charging him! Goodjob!!" Really works.
I’ll say this: playing as Nurgle in itself is very difficult (Prince Imrik and Helman Gorst say hello), but playing with a frankly weak unit (the elves will turn him into a cushion for arrows and he won’t be able to kill all the undead fast enough) is an activity for masachists, I’m so glad that one of these exists and he even has his own channel
You asked and we listened! The highly anticipated Nurgle race update will feature a 10% discount across the board to all plagues. The cycle of death and rebirth can be explored like never before!
Nurgle needs a *huge* overhaul in some regards. The cyclic buildings are a cute idea, but when some of the late game units take 10+ turns to unlock one of (once you've built up to t5...), it's just silly. And the fact that one of the dilemmas that can pop up throughout the campaign has an option to ease the cost of mass recruiting Great Unclean Ones makes it seem like they really weren't aware of how bad the timing is...Not even getting into the fact that GUOs are big slow bullet sponges.
i's actually not the lte game it's the mid game Nurgle recruitment is just straight off. and all 4 great demon got heavily gymped by the tech tree of each respected faction@@Tachii31
One can really feel the madness increasing from turn to turn. Frustration with Nurgle's bullshit, desire to switch to a god with faster units, even skinks will do. Entertaining to watch your descent into insanity.
I usually make friends with chaos dwarves. Outside of rats they are pretty much the only faction close by who can do diplomacy with you, and its really easy to make them like you. They also can help keep enemies at west in check as a buffer, making it so you do not have to fight on three fronts. You also get access to ranged units from them!
Great video! I love the narrative of the pet store. The only thing I’d like to see in the future is more of the multi part series like you used to do with the earlier challenge runs. Obviously, this wasn’t the campaign to do it with, but some of the less agonizing ones, like say the trees only one, would have benefited from being multi part in my opinion. I’m not suggesting you do all of your videos as multi part series, I’d just like to see them make a comeback along side the one off videos.
I completely agree. I do have a few ideas in the works for that, but at the moment my sole goal is to improve with every video I make. This fits with the single episode format super well because it gives me the time to put that extra bit of effort into the editing of every single video. Once I'm no longer focused on improving the editing as fast as possible, I should have the time to add those back in, either here or on my second channel.
Nice tip on the spells and constant leadership, I never noticed that one. Being able to route with a -10 leadership would fantastically help those hard battles where I am outnumbered. Quality stuff.
i see plague toads not as a cavalry unit but as a disruptor unit, they engage an enemy and jump around so many different ways and scatter the enemies all over the place for maximum annoyance to both you and your foe its also very funny that kugath is surrounded by enemies he doesnt like to fight at all, chaos dwarfs just outmatch your units most of the time, zombie spam is tough to win against because vampires like mosh pits and thats your winning strategy, ogres have beast magic which works even better against blobs and they are almost all big units which nurgle doesnt like fighting its a whole bag of fun
That's why their great either under AI control or in multiplayer. The problem is that with the AI buffs maxed out (like in my campaign) this means that they're losing out on the only thing that makes the player better than the AI - the ability to make rational decisions and have units follow orders predictably.
Frogs are tershisry predators snd the ultimate life form, so im glad we finally managed to maje you see the light after threatening to feed you to several.
That's exactly why I also used the frogs. Also, on their own I don't believe it's possible to use only frogs with how limited they are. If it is possible, it would probably be a good 100 turns before getting the short victory in the best case lol. I found using both the frogs and Nurglings a lot of fun, actually and it was just as hard as my previous challenges.
Honestly in my experience the roads are busted. They have amazing animations that just let them bully whatever they're fighting and almost always trade up. BUT that's when I run one or two of them maybe when theirs 20 it's garbage
Another idea for a challenge campaign: The fast and fat (and furious): Only use slayers rangers gyrocopters and -bombers and heroes and PUMP THOSE DWARVEN LEGS. If it‘s too easy maybe activate an early end game crisis.
frogs carried my kugath campaign they rarely survived battles but they would just absolutely destroyed any sort of line cohesion against anything that wasnt a large unit
I like how Helman Ghorst despite setting up shop in the Warhammer equivalent of west asia he still has an army full of dead white fantasy germans. Like. Do they go specifically there to die or something?
I think by this point we have a jax situation. Imagine if you used actual good armies. I think you might actually give Legend a run for his money, you the master of making units perform waaay above their pay grade and him a master of cheese.
They're great in multiplayer to disrupt enemy units - just particularly weak against the AI buffs as they're very hard to control. Their main purpose is disruption, which is much less useful against the AI than it is against players.
I’ve been having a really bad week and found a video randomly reminding me that you existed. Thank you for the fun content and for making my week better
I put this video on as background noise while I graded assignments. But I stopped grading and had to give it my full attention. that's how good your content has become. well done! Edit: Also, don't think I didn't notice the Fire Emblem Music you had playing in the background. Excellent choice.
I still love how Ghorst went from a literal who in the first game, who was by far the weakest 'legendary' lord, to a legitimate threat and master of necromancy.
I was waiting for them to be mentioned. So what if they're about as far away from Kugath as they can get, you can't seek revenge for the consumption of frogs and not mention the French!
@@flibbernodgets7018 That does it. Bully BrilliantStupidity to dealing with them. This is THE enemy of frogs here. For all the frog legs that have ever been eaten. CHARGE!

In the lore, Helman actually was a veterinarian before the whole vampire thing
WAY too overqualified for a pet store clearly.
Sounds like the usual Nurgle experience to me. Slow and painful (for you, not the enemy).
Same i thought the game is broken haha
I absolutely love the pet shop narrative. Adopt, don't buy (daemonic hellspawn, including purebred chihuahuas)

A Lokir campaign using only Coursairs and Black Arcs might be fun. Sticking to the Coast line and acting pirate-y
"This is Frorg. As you cn see he's very sad." HE JUS LIKE ME FR FR
3:55 its like those time lapse videos of bacteria multiplying. It is both satisfying, unnerving, mesmerizing and creepy. Papa Nurgle would be proud.
Ambiguous amphibian is pleased
11:07 ah yes the good old get through a difficult 30 minute battle only for the game to crash on you
classic total war moment :/
I hope Nurgle gets some real love in the next DLC, they need it.
you asume they will actually do shit next patch and wont be another SoC DLC

Completely understandable, the increase in editing quality definitely shows! Keep up the good work!
Technically the frog leg trade isn’t dead without deleting Bretonnia
Is 0 a single digit number?
Yes because it has one digit
Yes
So, this is how australians felt with the cane toad invasion.
the old ones where the frog gods, prove me wrong.
the sheer idiology the liards can't live with
Grandfather Nurgle will remember this
Truly a challenge worthy of BrilliantStupidity:
Playing Nurgle.

Your vids just get better every time, loved the editing in this one. You're genuinely my favorite creator on the platform rn
The beautifulness of frogs and plagues. The best combo.
Seeing the quality improve with every video is so nice to see, feels like you're really honing your style! Can't wait for the next video :D
Always a good weekend when Brilliant post a warhammer 3 challenge
Nothing quite like watching you destroy everyone with just Nurglings whilst i struggle to break out of the pet shop by turn 30

This is a good compromise between nurglings only and having fun

your story telling is so good! be it memes or on the edge of pure insanity.. it never fails to make me laugh :D thank you for the amazing videos!
You don't need to make "froggos only". Nurgle is a challenge to play itself
AmbiguousAmphibian being the God of Amphibians checks out
The best way to win with only nurglings is blob up. No flanks no strategy just blob.
That's exactly why I also used the frogs. Also, on their own I don't believe it's possible to use only frogs with how limited they are. If it is possible, it would probably be a good 100 turns before getting the short victory in the best case lol.

Hound and chaos furies only challenge. Khorne so you get hound varients.
aranessa using only the living units.
3 coins left, truly a campaign blessed by the great grandfather.

Drone strikes are shockingly accurate.
So are most guns. It's a matter of who's aiming them.
Your videos make me very happy. I've never played Total War but I love the Warhammer lore.
This challenge is a good compromise with what can be physically achieved with plague toads, the poor little choads
genuinely enjoyed your video man, gave me some pretty solid laughs.

@@BrilliantStupidity ye ik :P, its just so fun to watch from the two different perspectives

So the challenge was to only use frogs, but thanks to CAs ingenuity he could hardly recruit them? Lol
