    I think the AI blobbing up on single Lord armies when they didn't before
    Is because before, they'd be running around, looking for hidden units that aren't there
    So they fixed the AI to know how many units are in the army, and not hunt for ones that dont exist. Which results in their only target being to hunt down the single Lord, and the AI doesn't realize that it should spread out to avoid AOE so just mobs all of them into the lord at once

    I dont really care about "perfected" with one man doomstacks, i just like to see what is possible and i would rate a strong non perfected one-man doomstack even higher, just from a point of practicality. For example the Catahy LLs are easy one man doomstacks, they just need a bit of regen and they are strong enough to fight most weaker armies on their own. Since this is possible to reach in the early game, i would rate this way higher than a LL that needs to collect every single defeat trait just to work.
    So my System would be: Bonus Points for practicality and early availibilty. Minus points for Sword of Khaine and "depending on perfection" i.e. collecting traits etc.

It should be about the viability of a legendary lord with their own equipment, plus any regular items and traits they could reasonably pick-up on the campaign map, and how viable they would be as a one-man doomstack early(ish) in a campaign. Not just a rinse and repeat of insert-level-50-lord, 10 lord defeat traits, plus Sword of Khaine.

    @darkrite9000 2 года назад

    I'd say that if an army performs well regardless of whether or not it's perfected, it can gain a 10/10 rating. A 10/10 rating means it can deal with basically anything, or most anything and win without any real problems. If an army scores a 10/10 and it's not perfected, that just means it's true potential isn't needed to reach the 10/10 rating. If a 9/10 score is given to an army that's not perfected, then depending on how imperfect the army is, we can assume that it might just reach 10/10 if it was perfected. That's how I see it. As for the Sword of Khaine, yes it does essentially make an army a doomstack pretty easily, so the real question is whether or not the army could still do this without the sword, now for this instance, Archaon could manage this without the sword, but it wouldn't have gone as quickly and he'd likely have taken some actual damage towards the end. As such it'd be debatable if this would still be a 10/10, I'd argue it would still be a 10/10, and that it having the Sword of Khaine makes it an 11/10 army as you don't need the sword for this to work, so like the Kairos leading an army of lords of change doomstack, this is overkill.

    9.5/10 or 10/10. With the lower amount of winds of magic, you can't rely on spells so sword of khaine for AoE makes sense. It's not perfected but took no damage against 3 full armies. Sure it could be stronger, but if it's handling multiple armies with no downtime to heal, I doesn't have a practical impact. A couple more traits would be neat but what stat do you want to increase exactly?

      10/10 is Zhao Ming with blade of slaanesh soloing 3 tzeentch doomstack which is the hardest in the game currently. So Yeah I think Archeon would've get deaded by that. Probably 9/10.

    About that problem getting the sword: They probably got confused about the location of the sword. As it turns out, the sword wielders location is no longer constantly pinpointed, now it only shows the sword icon above the city that the sword wielder last entered. I think this is pretty cool because now you can actually sneak up on someone with the sword, as long as you don't enter new cities to reveal your plan. >;3

    It's easy if you can build t3 settlements. Capture the shrine of khaine in northern lothern and rank it up. Harder for races like warriors of chaos because you can only get it from the lord who currently has it, if nobody has it, you have to wait for the AI.

  • @Ashen_Night116
    @Ashen_Night116 2 года назад +1

    The Eye of Sheerian would not have been better. The barrier gives you a sad and pathetic 800 non-regenerating HP if you're the only unit in an army, you have to think of ward save as an effective HP increase, just in the case of Archaon alone it gives him over 11k HP if you take the Talisman of Preservation, whereas you'd only have him at 9862 (10662 with barrier) still because barrier doesn't regenerate in combat. -10% winds of magic spell cost and 800 barrier is not worth 16% ward save. Old Eye of Sheerian was better anyways, had 25% ward save on it, now it's just inferior because of the overall reduced effectiveness of spells in the game.

    I think it's 9 (not perfected -0,5, Sword of Khaine -0,5). In the end game I don't think those diplomatic penalties affect that hard anymore when your relationships are at hundreds + or - anyway and the public order is easier to maintain than in WH2. And even that upkeep bonus is like 2,5 armies less for you later in the campaign, so, that might be something but not that essential if you build your eco and go for it.

    I think defeat traits water down a doomstack or one-man-domstack. Every lord can get them, if every lord can get them it makes no sense to use them to compare said lords to each other. If a lord needs them he is automatically weaker then a lord who doesn't need them.
