Divide and Conquer v5 Khand Faction Overview

[@cambyses1529]

one tip - pure horse archer armies can shoot all their arrows and then withdraw without any real downside, its a good way of whittling down enemy forces as they march through the very large territories in the east. You can even do this while sallying out in siege battles. Dont ever feel obliged to take on enemy infantry head on...

Khergits be like

Variags of Khand is my favorite faction in DAC! The roster and visuals are great!💯

[@darkranger116]

The Variag unit line is sooo beautiful, the combination of lamellar and chain and leather, its so good looking

[@sebastianpfau1174]

So if you join the blue wizards, you can combine your already very powerful cavalary with the very strong dwarven infantry? Sounds like you can build some very strong armies as Khand.

[@feelingpine9123]

Yes. Though recruitment for the dwarves units is pretty limited they make for a much needed anvil for your cavalry.

[@ilari90]

And never underestimate the power of dwarven catapult it brings too, for infantry focused armies.

[@ClamMan1989]

Khand is totally OP but it's also not an easy campaign. Those chariots you get are the perfect assassins BUT you MUST micro them constantly. Worth it IMO.

[@TheSpearman-vt3nb]

i love these faction breakdowns! i have watched them all and i replay them when i play DaC. keep up the good work

[@starcraft697]

Good to see you’re back mate. Your Gondor overview made me replay a Gondor campaign! Your mic sounds much more crisper as well!

[@kreut5299]

Is it lore accurate that Khand has the fastest horses? I thought Rohan breeds the fastest. Just curious

[@PenguWattler]

Audio is great! Also I do really like it when you pronounce the weird names! It adds a lot of flavor... And don't worry we all get pronunciation wrong

[@zethylon7707]

Oh yeah, The Circus faction. Think whatever color you want, you will find it on our units!

[@reggie_edgy]

Loving the new audio it sounds much more crisp and clear

[@doirester7751]

The new Khand ability to go horde mode is really fun

[@user-kr3ib1yx4n]

Used to play vanilla third age on my old laptop when i was a kid, ran alright but not optimally ofcourse. Seen some of your Dac videos and it re-ignited my love for the game. Looking to get a desktop to start playing again but dont want to get a proper gaming rig. What equipment would you recommend that would handle the game relatively well without costing a fortune? Thanks in advance

[@PenguWattler]

Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, rx 6600xt GPU, 16 or 32 gb of ram (50$) 2tb of fast good SSD (80$) 600w power supply, any b450 or b550 motherboard, any 60$ case with front intake airflow. Can build this for about 500 if you get the CPU for good deal at like 110. Don't spend more than 100 on motherboard. GPU shouldn't be more than 200

[@liamcarnahan1346]

Audio sounds good 👍

[@maxrander0101]

the script can be triggered within as few as 4-5 turns or as long as it takes you to break your oath with mordor and then attack them on the next 1-2 turns from that the script will fire i did this yesterday when harad did not send its nearby army to help me in battle when i was fighting both gondor and dol Amroth i ended up losing not just my most veteran army but a general i had been planing to make my faction heir when he got a little better (liked his name ) so due to this i broke my treaty with them and attacked them the next turn mordor and rhun both declared war on me and one turn later the blue wizards script fired in total it was about the 6th turn max and yes i had edited the movement range of armies so i could expand faster

[@charlesgonzales6928]

Congratulations on your graduation!!!

[@zenonthestoic81]

How come you don't put timestamps/chapters for all the different sections of your overview videos anymore?

[@liamcarnahan1346]

Also, I would like to mention I haven't had any issues with my hoards of horse archers facing cavalry

[@alanvenneman6323]

I only give AI control of my units when I'm mopping up routing enemies. Every now and then archers if they are in skirmish.

[@kelsb8121]

Are you able to get gundabad hammerers as khand?

[@conorhayes2927]

when will beta end?

[@Manwu5]

Love it

[@alanmike6883]

Khand To be bad or good 🤔

[@MrZiva82]

Am i the only one thinking it is super cheap and gamey to give you half wizard armies when you choose them and twice mordor ones, and vice versa

[@legacy9171]

You need them to fight the enemies the script throws at you so not really

[@MrZiva82]

@@legacy9171 depending who you choose you get half and less of what would AI get in your situation, that is what i am talking about. If you side with wizards, you are attacked with 3 times more troops then what would you get should you side with mordor. I am not sure what are you talking about

[@liamcarnahan1346]

Yeah it gamey. That definitely a problem with some of the scripts. I really think sometimes the anti player bias with scripts gets a little much. Like ok I know the last stand scripts exist to keep players from just rolling the ai but it doesn't make sense that a faction that hoards like the aa get a last stand script.

[@CatroiOz]

Weren't we supposed to get a script to become a horde ?

[@Insaneforrain]

This was Galu’s idea. It was overruled however as no one liked it and there was no decent way to implement it iirc. I know this answer is 5 months late but :p
