That's my Woodstack here. [Pasted from other comment] Well I somewhat understand Legends frustration with SoK. I picked it up only because HElfs were throwing it my way few times already and decided 'ah heck its just thirsting, what harm can it be' and forgot I can't unequip it afterwards. Which is a bummer since I wanted to test treekin more than Durthu. I asked him specifically not to use it in battle to prove the point that this stack can dominate with little help from heroes. Also I usually spread them out a little bit wider that's why I use 2 Dryads with Resplendence.

Honestly I think it's probably 10/10. The lower cost and faster recruit time on it make up for the Treeman difference in strength especially given how well they actually performed, tyrion was the only unit to kill any of them, and he's insane. If it hadn't had sword of Kaine, and we had durthu slap tyrion around it's highly unlikely we'd have lost any units, now granted it wasn't a super strong army we were fighting against, but, even in a stronger army, like say VS empire/dwarf gun heavy army, now all our units are much smaller than treemen (Why thorgrim 1man doomstack works better off mount), so it's harder to focus them down, and we can spread damage around better to regen better. And if we do lose any units they're much easier to replace than treemen, 1 turn rather than 3 means we can resupply on the move (same reason that dual wield shades are doomstack and greatswords are only A tier).

Treemen are basically giants but better in every possible way. Treekin, under the right circumstances, are freakin linebackers. This stack right here is like the forgotten lovechild between trolls and ironbreakers. If properly protected they will nearly never die, and will dish out plenty in return regardless of offensive magical support. I feel like this is probably SLIGHTLY (very slightly) better than a treeman doomstack for Durthu, since it's cheaper and more easily replaceable. It's almost a 10/10 but it's dependence on forests definitely costs it that 0.5, so I agree wholeheartedly with your score.

I've seen it before a few times, most recently with Eltharion with mostly archers against some dark elves with several monsters and other things without much armor. If your units are relatively inexpensive/low tier but very well suited to destroying the army you're fighting (at least as recognized by the autoresolve) and if that army is a lot higher tier or more numerous, it can happen. I still ended up fighting the battle manually because auto was going to kill two of my archers. Having obscenely buffed tree kin sounds like a similar situation of an army punching well above its weight class.

If the whole army is 4 times cheaper, you can still afford many more than you would've otherwise done. Having full armies is overkill when you can wreck any challenge with tiny armies of beefed up lords and heroes. You basically play DnD in a Total war. It also creates the benefit of AI underestimating your strength and throwing stacks piecemeal during their turn. And it's not just with wood elves. Some factions do it worse. Some, like WE and HE, seem to be designed for this. Who needs full stacks if a caster can get thousands of kills for a fraction of a cost? Why even recruit the rest of the army?

It's a matter of what army would you realistically need to defeat MOST scenarios - as that will provide you major boons on a campaign scale. Being able to field 3 armies more, that still can defeat most stacks (even 2 or 3 at a time) is very advantageous to the overall campaign - even if there's a small chance to lose a battle. Especially on Wood Elves who have 0 commitment to their outposts, you don't lose anything when you lose an outpost, and you can make emergency armies in 1 turn as you have infinite global recruiment slots.

Doomstack in total war is more just an army that can handle any situation you'll encounter with the AI, not an AFK army. Very few armies are afk worthy in legendary difficulty. Can it beat strong armies 2-4v1? Can it siege in 1 turn? Is it immune to ambush fights? Can it deal with a monster spam army? If yes to most situations, then you've got a doomstack on your hands. While it's fun to rate doomstacks, technically there's a point where better doesn't really matter anymore. Can you make a stronger army than this treekin stack? Sure, but as it is this army can beat anything the AI throws at it already.

Tree Kins are tanky with high weapon strenght, but they lack in melee attack. Aside from buffing their defensive stats (put a Glade Captain with aoe MD aura in there!), buffing their melee attack can make this stack a lot better. However, none of the lores of magic available to wood elves feature an AoE MA buff...but Lore of Beasts has an AoE MD debuff, which is functionally the same as giving your units MA. So level Durthu's magic so he can spam Curse of Arnheir to make your Tree Kin slap more.

Wood Elves rely on post-battle loot, and high-elves can be befriended with the sword of khaine through tech. Public order in the mid-late game is a non-issue. Every outpost provides PO to their regions - spellsingers (recruited at like level 12) can easily defeat rebel armies alone, and your tree settlements will usually hover around 0 in the mid-late game without armies around. Sword of Khaine also allows you to just run a lord and nothing else in the army - as even the normal lords can function as one man doomstacks (especially on the herald of Ariel). The upkeep cost is the biggest malus, but you can save money in the mid game with the sword due to not having to run 20/20 stacks - and you'll make absolutely butt-loads of money of sacking, which the only thing you'll be able to spend it on is armies. Usually - emergency armies will come out even if the threat they're fighting has enough force in it. Sword of khaine is fun to use - and the negatives are relatively minor for Wood Elves, so it's really a playstyle choice in their case - not a strict negative it is for a lot of other order factions. EDIT: in blob fights monstrous infantry don't get much worse when losing entities - your blob is limited by the size of your buffs, so you're at max entities fighting whilst more than half are just standing around. Double EDIT: 2 life mages means permanent upkeep on shield of thorns - the main thing making these stacks near invincible. Normally you would probably take the +25% magic resistance from Forge of Daith too - as that usually is your only real weakness, but it's pretty rare to fight a lot of high damage magic attacks.

I am slowly getting confused with these tests like "I am here to test Tree Kin that's why I won't use Dwellers Below". People create doomstacks which are meant first of all to be a good team (Legend's words btw). Why refusing using something if it's a part of DS? UPD: This stack misses Glade Captain - for movement range and MD AoE buff

Dweller's below is explicitly not part of the doomstack though. Sure it might be faster - but you need to upkeep magic to heal & have 100% uptime on shield of thorns. The Treekin deal enough damage by themselves - they need defensive support, not offensive support. Legend tends to use magic more offensively a lot of the time, due to it being much easier to cheese battles that way - but when your army is build around dealing damage and needs the defensive support, you'll see him switch to defensive magic too.

@@TheNightkunai >they need defensive support, not offensive support This is arguable but ok. He had enough magic for everything, also while casting Dwellers below Ariel would trigger her passive +10% phisical resist mapwide Anyway for example in Horned Ones doomstack video Legend actually asked the guy to remove Saurus Scar veterans from the DS (the sender mentioned ti in comments) and then Legend in the video said "well, this doomstack is not great against monsters". Of course it's not great against monsters if Legend asked to remove anti-monster heroes. Doesn't make sense to me TBH

@@alexeyalexandrov7583 That request for the horned ones video was a little odd, ngl. Doomstacks are often stronger when they are at least a little mixed arms, mostly through heroes and such. The army the treekin were fighting wasn't too hard - so even sitting idle would probably resulted in a close/decisive victory. With armies like this you want to keep up Shield of Thorns at all times - and keep your models topped off so they don't die to Single Entities. Ariel should just be spamming heals & shield of thorns, alternating the shield of thorns with the other life wizard. When fighting 3-4 strong armies you'll start running low on WoM regen, so you really can't be wasting it on damage in the later half of the fight.

A very common thing i've noticed with the the wood elves is that whatever Army Arial is in is hugely insane. I would not rate this doom stack as much as i would rate Ariel being overpowered healer. That doom stack would not work without Ariel i don't think. Personal rating would be: Do it without Ariel out of /10 She does some heavy back lifting for the entirety of the woodlands races. As she should but still I am a bit disappointed.

He basically did though. He said the army was a 9.5/10 but specifically withdrew a point from the person's score for SOK. The army is still a 9.5/10. He wants to discourage people from sending in SOK armies, especially if picking it up is actively detrimental to your faction, because everything becomes a doomstack with it.
