I agree. More global bonuses to units for certain factions the better. It promotes a truly unique experience faction to faction, instead of oh the start of the campaign feels a little different because your starting lord only buff these units over here, but after the first 30 turns the campaign feels like any other for that race.
@@sassyviking6003 Try SFO, where all factions and LL's have such things, including Tretch and Queek. Funnily enough, there's an unintentional doomstack in SFO wherein Flaggelants have an ability that increases melee defence whenever they're losing melee combat. But it stacks. And they're unbreakable. So unless you shoot them, they'll murder your entire army being untouchable with 350+ melee defence. That was fun when I had my full Black Orc stack with Grimgor trying to take the Empire.
"When you raise your zombie army behind Gold's Gym"
My take is:
Resurrected units are spawned as new units instead of the old ones, with a reset healing cap.
Just a codding oversight.
No, it's a mathematical error that makes it so they heal 500 times more instead of 5 times more lmao
"When you raise your zombie army behind Gold's Gym" IM USING THIS FOR SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE. Outstanding quotable.
Ghorst is like “who needs fancy ghosts, cav or zombie dragons when zombies will do everything better if you give them a bit of love.”
I love Ghorst's new faction name and flag, and I'd already decided that he was gonna be my first IE campaign based purely on that. The fact that he's actually a decent LL now is just icing on the cake.

That would be my dream come true.
Hopefully they have fixed Ghorst's FPS issues. He's the Only lord in the entirety of Warhammer that not only impacts my frames per second... But actually Tanks my FPS.
Its something to do with his armies VFX while he's around, mixed with blood effects and a couple of corpse engines. Before you know it you're pulling 15 frames in a battle.
Probably too many aura effects causing too many calculations/particle effects to happen in short spans of time. Turning my VFX and blood down/off does help but its still a bit of an issue in WH2.
Again i dont get this problem with any other lords.
After watching DameOffensive's Helmen Ghorst playthrough the 2 things to add to this army for campaign functionality is 1 Crypt Horror unit for Siege Attacker and 1 Crypt Ghoul unit to Stalker cheese walled settlement points. That way your not having to waste turns building siege equipment and 20 minutes trying to grind through a gate and the enemy army. People were speculating and joking that Ghorst was gonna get wrecked in his new starting position but he's actually probably one of the easiest starts since you can pump out multiple doom stacks before turn 20.
I am DEFINITELY watching that, and boy, am I glad that someone got Ghorst's magnificent zombie cheese on film before it will get nerfed into oblivion.
@@mirceazaharia2094When was it nerfed?
@@dinosaurkin5093I don’t think it ended up getting nerfed, since its just a fun thing to do and only effects campaign

There's something satisfying about having expendable units becoming The Expendables.

ah, the reference to Isaac. You are a man of culture, i see
Yeah, that looks like one of the best doomstacks we'll see in Warhammer 3. Incredible easy to recruit. Stupidly cheap, the army only costs 433 in upkeep and recruiting them does not cost much either. Yes, they may don't do much damage, but they don't die. Helman Ghorst to use magic and deal damage. GG Okoii.

@@Horvath_Gabor thier several unique building chain for ghost that give more spell resist to zombies too. 25% factionwide I think
The 1mil regen must be a bug in showing what is to be healed. If you divide that by 19 (zombies) then by their health (11k), you will get something of 5-6 times thus for some reason it takes all the zombies HP. Either its a visual bug (showing regen of all zombies in army) or that it pooled their regen together (For some strange reason).
He did say Helman Ghorst gives zombies +500% regen cap, so that would be accurate.
If this is the case, then Festus has some stonks as well.
Maybe it's something like each healing cap increase being multiplicative, and the cap being separate for each source of healing? Can't think of anything else that'd do it, that number is insane.
Ok, about 34:11 you can see he hovers over different zombie units that do not receive damage or are healed but the number DROPS. It shows regen for ALL units for some reason. Either the pool is SHARED (I doubt) or its a visual bug (which is my guess).
I think the number it "should" get is something like 55-60,000. It might be multiplying something it should be adding.
I love that this turned from rating a Doomstack to an investigation of Helman Ghorst and just how nuts he has become...it really shows how Legend's mind works and digs down.

I suspect CA did an ooopsie with that 1 million regen. It's almost definitely showing the sum regen of all your units.
This tooltip is probably designed to check ALL units that would be affected by the heal (in case of area heal for example) to show how much you can expect from it and if it's worth casting.
In the case of Vampires though, I highly suspect the "Curse of Undeath" is being pulled into this calculation, meaning that casting a heal, is considered to "technically" affect all units map-wide, and so the tooltip will diligently sum-up all of the HP regen left of all units on the map, and not only the ones targeted by the spell.
See maybe but then would it go down in chunks when he withdrew units, it dudn't to the extent it likely should have.
@@vivusthevivusthing6182 I literally stopped watching minutes before he withdrew the units but yes, good catch, it's inconsistent with my theory. Maybe all units even withdrawn and reinforcement are considered on the battlefield for the purpose of map-wide effects. It seems like a stretch but there is no specific situation that comes to mind where such a quirk would become obvious or problematic enough to warrant a fix, so maybe it always has been like that but we couldn't notice it. I don't really know.
Probably typo 500% is actually 500x (they missed the % in the calc) would make the most sense. If the HP regen just bugs the heck out then
God this would've been cool to see the zombies get tossed around by a Stonehorn and just getting back up to eat it lol

I like how they removed 0 upkeep skeleton to prevent skeleton spam, but now you can just go zombies instead and don't even have to rely on spells to do the heavy lifting.
From my point of view what happens with the amount of regen is that the regen cap is a multiplicative bonus, and it adds the entire regen pool of all units. The small drops in the regen cap might be caused by the coding taking the entire regen pool, splitting it between the units, taking back the average value between all of them and then giving back the new regen cap value. 🤔
The regen cap to these guys, if it is originally 100% of the health bar, it is something like close to 80.000 hp. Each one of them has more HP potential than the whole enemy army.
I stand corrected, over 1.200.000 hp it is... Daaaamn
They all had the same heal amount, look at them all again. So, it seems, that the healing is army wide. As if it is adding all of their health together, then adding the multipliers to that. And all healing comes from a health pool.
You came to the same realization. So, try this, take just Ghorst and one unit of zombies, take their health, and the healing modifiers and then enter a battle and see how much healing potential that they have. Then add a second unit and see if it doubles.
tbh that is how i imagen necromancers with zombies
CA devs:
"Hey Frank you finished the ghorst update yet?"
"Yup just uploaded it."
"That's great, did you remember to add the healing to zombies of 50.0%"
".... 50.0?"
You joke but I've looked at a LOT of the tables for total war games over the years and have absolutely seen mistakes like that. Sometimes numbers are meant to be percentages, sometimes decimals. So a dev might forget and use 50 when they mean 0.5
@@anderspike7895 yeah, 500 percent has become 500 times the regen...
@@anderspike7895 Oh I know lol, decimal points so easy to misplace and firs thing I thought when I saw this was "Yep, decimal fuck up." XD
A fun stress test could be to turn the end game event up to 200 and set it as early as possible. Then position your zomboys next to the spawn and see if they can smash the entire event single handed
I love this change. Promotes a truly unique experience. More global bonuses that make units much more viable faction to faction. I want to see factions within races truly feeling like your playing a different campaign, instead of what we had in WH2, which is this lord feels different at the start, but after 30 turns same army and the same strat as the rest of the lords in that race.
I don’t love it, solely because it’s a factionwide lord skill. This army is pretty hard to beat as VC. So any VC faction who confederates ghorst is probably gonna have zombie spam be their best doomstack.
@@Loj84 The AI never uses its skill or bonus well. Also, confederation is harder, and Ghorst starting position probably means he will be wiped out early, as well as you can always snipe the VC lords which have always made VC AI a joke to fight. Either way, there is an easy fix if this is not the case, program the AI not to take these skills. This way players can have the unique experience we have been missing with WH2's crappy lord's army-only buff that resulted in every campaign feeling the exact same after turn 50 regardless of the legendary lord you choose to start.
@@t.mceltica3475 ? I didn’t say anything about AI.
As the player, no matter what faction you choose, your best army comp will probably be zombie spam if you get ghorst. I do not think that is good design. It should be tied to his faction, if not to his army specifically.
Last remaining human general on the battle field:- "But your units, they are just zombies, they are dead".
Helman Ghorst rolling away on his cart turns his head to look at the general and says:- "They always were kiddo, they always were".
The thing is, many of Ghorst's Zombie buffs are locked behind experience and the fact that the other vampire factions need to confederate him, so doomstacking chaff units in the early game isn't as viable anymore.
Beyond that, I'm happy to see that Zombies are now the go-to "mass infantry" unit over skeletons. There's literally no reason to ever get zombie units in WH2 outside of making use of Kemmler's unique follower.
It’s really looks like that zombies healing pool is one for all of them. Roughly unit has 10000 health so with heal multiplier on multipler with 500, 100, 50 it would be around 55000 hp max regen, multiply it on 19 and you’ll get 1 045 000 hp pool, that’s pretty close to what legend showed us, and moreover army had a ror unit with 200models, so with accurate calculation it might be the number of ~1 100 000 that was in a video p.s it’s don’t looks like integer overflow cause it’s overflow 20 times higher of that amount and closest overflow is type unsigned short with 65535, but numbers somehow changing and don’t crash the game
It also can consider Helman Ghorst also can heal and add his regen pool)
There was another passive for heal cap ontop of the 500, 100, 50 as well in his tree
My favorite thing about his factionwide bonus is it applies to the garrisons as well so weak settlements with loads of zombies are actually harder to take over than some of the top tier buildings. Makes the vampire counts much more defensible.
Legend whenever a stat is too good to be true: ''That's gotta be a bug.''

@@zj871023 I might've missed it when skimping forward to see if that one unit died at any time since it was taking a while, then
@@AnthroTsuneon its at the end of the first battle
I have the feeling the 1.2M healing just mean you can heal, in total, from 20 units, 1.2M health.
Edit: Actually, if the modifiers are multiplicative, then at 1000% it will easily push the cap on HP healing on a 10k health unit up to a M
At 1000% of 10k hp would be 100k. It probably pool every units together while the cap itself is additive and not multiplicative.
Except 1000% is 10x, 1 mil healing would be roughly 100x. That's 10 000%!!!
Disband most of the army and redo the battle. See if the number is the same
It's sharing it between every single zombie unit, its the total number of all the zombies HP combined, that's why it's the same regardless of which Zombie he hovered the spell over even if they had been healed or not.
It's like 1.2M for 20 units which is approximately 55K per unit i.e. 500% for each unit, which is in line with the skills and tech. The combining of the Regen poll is a very strong benefit
At a guess, it looks like a bug where a zombie unit's healing cap is actually the combined cap of all the zombie units in the army.
12,500 hp * 75% healing cap * 600% gives you in the region of 55,000 hp per zombie unit, which is what Legend was expecting. 55,000 * 19 units gives you just over 1,000,000 hp which is what we're seeing.
Easiest way to test it would be to bring in half the zombies and see if the cap is halved.
Asked you about this on Discord, happy to see that you made a video about it!
Looks like whenever an entity is revived, its individual hit points are added to the regen cap. So... unlimited healing.
I have a feeling regen caps have been pooled as an attempt to optimize the game. So that instead of having to keep track of 40 units worth of regen cap (20 per army) or even 80 units in large battles, the game now only has to keep track of 2 pools, one for each side. This would explain why the pool is so large, why it goes down the same for each unit and also why the game doesn't show individual regen caps anymore.
It's in the ballpark, but seems a bit off. Could easily be my math is off somewhere. Or it could be what's being done is sort of a middle ground, where instead of 2 pools with 1 each per side, it's multiple pools with 1 for each similar unit on the same side. Or could be coincidence, I dunno.
base healing cap: 75%
uncanny resilience: 550% (effectively)
bonds of flesh: 100%
Zombie max HP (including buffs, such as uncanny resilience): 12,320
Total Zombies in army: 19
For simplicity, we're ignoring Ghorst for now.
12,320 * 19 = 234,080 total HP in army (again, ignoring Ghorst)
Applying base healing cap (75%), total healing allowed = 175,560 HP (if we're playing "vanilla" zombies, without any buffs, this is about the number we'd expect to see)
Then applying total bonus healing cap to all units (650%), total Zombie shared regeneration pool = 1,141,140.
It's the HoMM 3 skeleton ball all over again
I love this. We need more builds like these
I may be wrong, but it seems like there is one common healing pool for the entire army. And every specific unit can access it individually...
Not gonna lie, I kind of want to paint the map with zombie / necro spam before CA nerfs this. I think this is hilarious!
Also I do believe it’s sharing the healing pool army wide because that would put each unit at roughly 60k healing each
I like how the zombies all had bad puns for unit names
Love that u test Okoii's army.
Haven't really played WH3 since release, but seeing IE and some of these new broken doomstacks is getting me kinda pumped. Hopefully it can rekindle my love for the game, because I had a blast with WH2
Sadly, Legend showing this off basically guarantees that it won't be a thing at launch or soon after.
I wonder how this faires against leadbelchers plus a butcher and a firebelly.
@@Grails_Knight Press X to Doubt; it's not cheese nor is it a bug. It's working as intended. You might see it being changed from a factionwide buff to an army buff to nerf it, but that's it.
@@araknas3981 ? This is very clearly a bug.
@@Loj84 The tooltip is bugged, sure because it shows an army wide healing cap for some reason (unless it was changed so healing caps are army wide which would be weird, but hey, CA).
Doesn't change the fact that CA gave Ghorst a factionwide +500% healing cap and the tech also gives +100% healing cap. That's 675% healing cap, or 83,160 hp heal per unit of zombies, or 1,580,040 hp in the case of 19 units. Which is about as intended as you can get.
I think this bug might be similar to the infinite ammo bug for tomb kings, when you are reviving units they are coming back new meaning they are adding more HP to the regen cap.
Lore friendly too. There have been incidents of people attacking zombies and the wound knitting itself shut right in front of their eyes.
Ogre: Slams into a zombie full-force.
Zombie: Spits out lone remaining tooth.
"I didn't hear no bell!"
Given how passive the AI is in immortal Empires, we're gonna see a bunch of doomstacks fighting in cathay
Its gonna be weird like... People used to install mods to make the AI less aggressive/player biased in ME.
Now people are probably going to install mods to do the exact opposite in IE.
What's really crazy, even without any magic, or other units healing them, jusr ravenous dead alone that is like 44 healing per second. 0.4% on 11k hp is 44, just for being in melee. Of course that can resurect models, but it makes sure they are always topped off so invocation of nehek will.
I started a Gorst campaign today and, after a hundred turns, I'm still astounded at how surviveable his zombies are. You ever see that Family Guy clip with Mike Tyson fighting Carol Channing? Gorst is Carol Channing. The rest of the Warhammer world is Tyson.
Only thing I'd add to make it even stronger would probably be a Necromancer on a Corpse Cart (Balefire) as it reduces WoM regen on how many enemy units are near, so it's a must when blobbing as they won't be able to use spells at all besides the first few casts, and maybe throw in a Mortis Engine but looks like it won't be necessary.
Sasuga
The fact that the number was 1 127 xxx makes me think there's been an integer overflow, it's a common bug in games where you numbers go too far up or down and you get virtually infinite.
Would be hilarious if wh3 pulls a Gandhi
But then the number wouldnt fluctuate
An unsigned 16bit integer would go to 65535 before overflowing, if the healing pool is by total unit health rather model health then having a 600% healing pool could make it overflow in theory.
My naive guess would be that stacking the healing modifiers triggers some integer overflow, making it infiite.
That was my first guess too, but to my knowledge it usually occurs with 2^x numbers, but I don't know CA's code, so it can easily be the thing. 1000% multiplier shouldn't nessesarily break it imo. Healing might be applied wierdly, like counting each models not the whole unit or something.
The games definitely has integer overflows (game 2 at least). I did make one of my Eltharion campaigns unloadable due to breaking money cap....
That would result in a negative number. However with a float type variable you could do something similar, if the number would be even bigger(if the values to add or subtract are to small, then they won't do anything).
The number was changing so it wasn't necessarily an overflow problem. It just seemed like the number is so absurd there is no way to run out before the battle is over.
Okay the "160 Prince Phillips" got me laughing out loud
Kugath: I fear no man, no elf, no dwarf
but that thing
"Braaiiiiinnnnns...."
It scares me
well, a zombie unit has 12000 health... 75% of that would be 9000 healing cap... if the battle healing cap additions were just cumulative... that would be about what +650%(+500% + 50%; skill + 100%; research; if there aren't others) so (6.5 + 1) * 9000... that would be 67500 healing cap... not counting the intitial 12000
@@lemmejustreadthethings Where do you get this garbage. The lowest storage medium they would be using is int32 which has a limit 2.1b when signed and 4.2 when unsigned. We aren't even close to "can't handle" territory.
@@ruukinen Nice, got to love internet people.
I hope they didn't change this I wanna to try it myself
this felt like legend finding a new toy and he loves it
What i think might be going on, is that the healing cap is global based on the health pool of every unit, not just an independant cap for each. As far as i could perceive the number was going down even on units which were not taking damage, and the combined health pools of 19 zombies would be around 250k HP, do the normal, additive regen cap % on that, which would be around 600-700% , and it would get close to what we were seeing. Don't have the exact numbers, but it does make sense.
It kinda looks to me like the regen cap is for the whole army? or mabey all units in each army?Since it was always the same on all zombies...
Would be cool if the undead recruitment pool changed into the undead of different races based on the local culture.
I believe only humans got cursed. No other races can become undead
@@Gorbachoph Nah, there's all sorts of undead in the lore.
@@xensonar9652 Source?
@@Gorbachoph The books mainly. Skaven have been raised from the dead in their thousands, and there's even an undead dwarf in one book. But in the game too, you've got undead dragons, horses, bats, etc.
The odds of Helman Ghorst being level 50 on turn 28 seems a bit unlikely.
I think it might be the fact that it can regen killed entities, so it can effectively regen infinitely as long as it isn't entirely wiped out, because when a entity is brought back it adds the health of the entity to the health pool of the unit.
Any chance of revisiting this now that the healing cap is fixed? Curious to see if it still holds up
It would be straight up retarded for CA to remove free skeleton spam because "it made the remaining roster obsolet" only to then replace it with an unkillable zombie spam for Ghorst. This performance can't be the intended result.
why seems perfectly balanced before you had free spearman spam now you spam zombies with an upkeep of 8 who can conquer hole citiys alone :D
Now only one faction has the unstoppable horde of trash units flavor and other factions can focus something else so that every vampire counts campaign wouldn't be the same skeleton spam experience.
Its just one lord compared to the entire faction tho.
CA has shown that they're not exactly the "thinking things through" kinda game developers. They only make decisions based on feedback they get, so new features or new changes are usually either useless or completely OP until someone points it out to them.
I mean you can still do skeleton spam. Especially with the upkeep reductions for them you should be able to afford like 3 or 4 skelly stacks for every regular mixed VC army.
It was really ridiculous to make a unit completely free of upkeep, almost as retarded as introducing healing caps in the first place.
When you read and listen to things about the necromancer battles in the end times, this is what I imagine it’s like.
Just know this works, makes me happy. I've been wanting to do a Zombie only run, and knowing this now, I think I'm just going to go ahead with it.
I really hope this doesn't get fixed lol, it makes zombies actually fun to use
Actually looks like it could be fun, shame it'll be nerfed into the ground. I'll have to make the most of it until then!
I hope they don't nerf it. Only affects campaign and is hilariously fun.
Why would they nerf it, player can destroy within minutes
lmao this needs to be nerfed bro
@@paulywalnutz5855 Lmao, no it doesn't bro. Doesn't affect MP, is exclusive to one lord and is fun.
Not a game breaking exploit like the backspace baug.
CA: did anybody say FUN? Nerfhammer it is!
Taking the "Meat shield" tag to a whole new level.
6:34 Legend accidentally revealing his skaven-side yes-yes...
Whenever I see some fun strat I'm just waiting for CA to nerf it to the ground
Yeah... So this is a bit 2 powerfull for how low effort this is.
He basically did nothing out of the ordinary, no trait stacking, no item stacking, no hero stacking, no money paid, no nothing.
Just the Ghorst skill tree.
CA: "Let's nerf the VC so you can no longer just skelly spam the entire campaign"
Also CA: "Infinite heal cap zombies are fine."
Glad I'm not the only one who finds this absurd. I'm still mad at CA for even introducing the healing cap, it was so much fun to infinitely heal my graveguard and wraiths in campaign.
And now 3 games later they're basically removing the healing cap for *one* lord which was one of the shittiest legendary lords in their past 2 games.
@@Khalkara Bro.
The healing cap should be in the game by all accounts. If it's not there most heal factions like Nurgle and Vampire counts would be literally unkillable.
Making Campaigns trivial and boring and PvP even more imbalanced than it already is.
Just stop introducing weird bugged skills that make the healing cap infinite or break other fundamental gameplay mechanics.
@@Khalkara they introduced it because Vlad in WH1 is pretty much unkillable. Plus it would be a huge design limiting mechanic where you can't ever design a good single entity with it having access to regeneration/heal spell
I would love to go against this army. The real problem is the AI went with no range, lord sniping, spells, or arty.
@@esra013 Pretty sure they introduced the healing cap before vlad was even added? But even then, he's not unkillable just very hard to kill which a ton of lords are.
You absolutely could design a good single entity w/o having it access to regeneration/heal spell, what are you talking about?
Factions in TW3 are already going to be limited by the amount of magic you can have. So you can't literally infinitely heal units, you will simply run out of magic.
And depending on how your army is built you probably could have won much faster if you used that magic instead on damage spells like WoD.
Plus in this very video Legend shows that you can relatively easily out DPS the passive healing these zombies get, meaning unless you want to spend magic they can die.
I really don't think people like you have thought the actual implication of a healing cap through, it serves no purpose other than to limit fun builds.
They don't limit single entity doomstacks, which as Legend has proven time and time again is the strongest way to play and makes your armies effectively undefeatable. So why should they limit healing, if it supposedly only makes 1 character super hard to kill in the VC roster?
I absolutely love this. So much. I hope this is never nerfed.
This whole video is Legend learning the new best strategy/cheese for Vampire Counts.
This makes Ghorst so much fun to play . Sadly CA will nerf this to the ground next patch .
I now know who I'll play if I wanna live out my zombie apocalypse fantasy :D
This is a really great army formation, my Mazdamundi would love this formation, a few spells and the army is history!
From the looks of it, it must be the sum of all excess healing (of all those zombies).
At the start the value is something like: 1128000 total healing
When you take this number and divide it by the unit count of 19 it is: 59 368.42 healing per unit on average (but there' one elite unit, which increases the average for 1 zombie)
Then you can divide it by the sum of healing cap multiplicators (including the base 75% one): 59 368,42 / (0.75 * 6.5)
That will result in: ~12 178.13 health of a unit, which seems to be fairly close to the basic zombie unit health, which is 12320.
