    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

    • @Tachii31
      @Tachii31 Год назад +19

      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.

    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.

    • @BrilliantStupidity
      @BrilliantStupidity  Год назад +20

      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.

    @Nightmare_52 Год назад +8

    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

    • @BrilliantStupidity
      @BrilliantStupidity  Год назад +4

      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.

      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.
