Late-game theory-crafted armies being done where they're min-maxed seem, to me, much more interesting to "think about having" and "work towards having" if just for the sake of doing something special, but then not nearly as interesting once you "do" have it. Whereas knowing some really nice, early-on doom/crapstacks seem much more helpful and intuitive to know about.

Ehhh this wasn't constructed too well imo. One gunnery wight is sufficient, then I would have at least one if not two vampire heroes for healing and - more importantly - summons. Use it like a skaven weapons team doomstack. Also I think there were too many handcannons. I'd have some cannons or mortars or even Deck Gunners for long range firepower, rather than queen bess as they keep dodging it. Longer ranged factions will shred your gunnery mobs and there's not much you can do about it.

@jeffvella9765 Жыл бұрын

Yep, you are right, there is a doom stack like this in WH2 and it should work for WH3, but here it was messed up. Here is the WH2 doomstack: 6 gunners, 6 mortars, 1 unmounted gunner wright, 2 vampire heroes, 4 necrofexes, 1 vamp lord. The army can deal with sieges and uneven terrain better than all necrofexes doomstack, but struggles against scaven more. All your armies like this and you are unstoppable and it is 30-50% cheaper compared to all necrofexes armies. The idea is this. Your gunners at the back while 4 necrofexes on the front just in range of the gunners so they can shoot anything that hits the legs of the nexrofexes but not in front of the nexrofexes to avoid friendly fire. More than 6 gunners, you will not find good positions to put them on most maps and their role is to kill heros and single entities which they do as well as rattling guns. Before the enemy reaches the necrofexes you have summons from vamp hero and lords while nexcrofexes and mortars shred the enemy blocked by summons. Vamps heal necrofexes if need be, right after they summon the mob, necrofex retreat to heal while mob holds the line. Over-casted heal on 4 necrofexes in worst cases. Mortars are very very accurate once they reach their gold tiers and will kill most of the enemy if blocked by summons. This is an undefeated doomstack when I use it, only scaven with summons on the mortars are a bit of a pain when 4 vs 1 armies, but I would rather have more armies to deal with scaven then less but stronger.

A bit of a miss to place so many Hand cannons in the back line, if you see comparatively how much ammo they have to what the rifle units have. I would say this is an early Doomstack if you have played vampire coast before. Hand cannons vs Cavalry is the best point of a battle.... They die at the first charge. 6/10 is a good rating. I would love to see more Low tier doom stacks, to learn what units are a good to have for each faction early game.

Even I know I would not be able the battles I saw hence I saw my need for micro improving when I saw you. The fact is, that I find not useful for my improvement in WH3 to know about the nunaces of real stacks at turn 100+. If it is a 9ish above doonmstack I instantly know this is not gonna be helpful for my game experience, and sometimes I skip those. So this is the kind of useful crapstasck that, after wathcing the video makes me want to logging the game and start Harkon camapig straight away to test it and enjoy the pew pew. Love id and will not ever skip any oh those if you continue doing it. Also would love to learn Hero Crapstacks thar are good only for, say the first 40 turns in the campaign.

To answer your question Legend, I think these videos have value namely because for newer players knowing what to recruit & how to use early game armies means that they get a more solid foundation in the start of their campaign -> less catastrophic/stressful mid to late campaigns. Granted, those are a lot more rare now given how much easier TWW3 is on the average. As for this stack: it *needs* at least 1, ideally 2 or 3 Lore of Vampire heroes to work (which is rough for Vampirates given their hero capacity issues in vanilla TWW) for healing, resurrecting dead entities, and chaff summons. I'd also probably throw in a few deck gunners as well for the range and single entity sniping potential (namely for mages with vortex spells and dinos).

@Switowsky Жыл бұрын

Seems pretty decent as an early game cost effective doomstack. Maybe drop the Queen Bess for a lore of vampire hero and then use the Queen Bess in an army with a frontline that has an easier time protecting the Bess so it can really output its damage. It's either that or maybe a lore of vampire lord with this doomstack and 1 extra lore of vampire hero and then a gunnary wight -- or replace the wight with another damage magic lore for when they blob around summons. Awesome video Legend, I'd love to see more early game doomstacks or cost effective armies.

I would like to see similar stacks. Things you can make in early-mid game to give inspiration for my own gameplay. Doomstacks are fun to watch, but they are usually late end game stacks, especially in WH3.

Early game stuff is the most interesting. Sure, I can slam down a 90 ward save level 50 lord, but the campaign investment to get to that stage is pretty rare for me. I spend more time with spearmen and archers than loremasters and sisters.

Early game ´´Doomstacks´´ would be a fine new addition to this series

What i would really apreciated here(since you do that Sometimes Legend) would an "assesment" of "what buffs are missing, terms of tech, Lord/Hero Buffs " and so on and a roughtly assesment on how good this army could be with it or what it would take to get it higher, and so on..... While a lot 10/10 Doom Stacks are really fun to watch, lets be honest, most of them are Not Practical for 80% of The Game or rather they only become Really Usefull if you Play 150Turns +.... Most Doomstacks also just got send as late in the Game in which Ppl got 20 Provinces or more..... For Example A Skaven Weapon Team is a perfect example for a 9/10~10/10 Doomstack even if freshly Recruitet on Turn 30, while a complete Buffed perfected Ikkit Claw Weapon Team with all Buffs, all Tech, all Lord Traits and so on, basicly is out of the Scale as an 11/10 but its an army you will moste likely not get to use before turn 120 or so.

I would say even 6 out of 10 is pretty generous if this is to be taken as a doomstack. As you said, if the AI just rushed straight at you then you are losing every time, surely the definition of a doomstack is that there is no chance you can lose whatever the situation is

I think in an earlier video he mentioned 7/10 to be the cut off to count as a valid doomstack, so 6/10 says its close but not quite a doomstack

I agree. Seems far too high to me. Magic, abilities, and unbelievably bad AI won that game. Maybe the ammo balance of power from the army helped with army losses and the army did okay (I use a ton of hand gunners too when playing vampirates). But even as a standard army, it wasn't well designed. Way too much short range, no holding power, no healing, one gunnery would be totally fine there, etc. That said, I'd love to see more varied armies being reviewed.

Legion the gunnery wraith +60 aim and faster reload is used on queen bess, their ammo becomes a homming projectile, that is how you use those

I do like crapstacks, or lower tier doomstacks that don’t require the best of the best or save scumming to get the best traits.

I would love to see "budget" or early game doomstacks.

Man I'd love to see more cost effective doom stacks. Like skaven feels like im throttled to only run wep team stacks or its not worth while I'd like to see more of those lower teir or off cut doomstacks
