Game Time - Orcs - cKnoor's guide to the Blood Bowl races - Ep #1

[@quill18]

This is going to be exceptionally helpful.

[@ayrtonbraam916]

Out of all the teams, you are most likely to beat cKnoor. Who, let's face it, despite his team. Is probably goign to win thanks to his 400+ hours into BB

[@DevinSmith56]

This is a brilliant idea, please do all the races, especially Dark Elf and Chaos.

[@TheKeaver]

yay, more dark elves :)

[@towndrunk23]

Orcs seem like a happy middle between Dwarves and Chaos. Dwarves get a lot of fighting abilities, but don't actually have anything above base strength 3 aside from the secret weapon. Chaos has loads of 4 strength men and the ones that are 3 strength have the potential to be counted as 4 strength, but no block or dodge whatsoever. Orcs have both 4 strength players in the Blorcs, AND blockers in the blitzers.

[@Nr4747]

They also have great runners in their Goblins and they have Throwers with Sure Hands.

[@MrJamesRye]

Nr4747 And Trolls who can throw the unmoved gobos for a one-turn TD if you manage to handover the ball to the gobo.

[@JEGranberg]

I've been looking forward to these kinds of videos. Great compliment to the other intro series.

[@zeegic4534]

I´m looking forward to the Pro-Elves :) Tyvm for the awesome work cKnoor, keep going!

[@moderniscavemanis6768]

You should goblins! your bloodbowl videos are great. I just recently started watching you and really enjoy it

[@antoinegar.638]

Thanks for the guide! I see your game is quite different than mine visually... Is there a way to display the tackle zones, pitch grids and player roles in BB1-legendary edition ?

[@Lajinn6]

Just a thought, would it not have been better to just score on turn 6 rather than risking it, considering that it is nigh impossible for chaodwarves to 2 turn touchdown?

[@Darthpathfinder]

Lajinn B Indeed I would rather score as soon as I can when teams have to make dice rolls for GFI's to even try and score.....

[@DaveSlashDavid]

Turn management is something I'm still working on, but it seemed like in the first half you took some big risks for the sake of stretching things out for an extra turn or two. The other guy did have to get pretty lucky to be able to keep you from scoring, but is the difference between letting a not-so-passy not-super-mobile team like Chaos Dwarfs have two and letting them have three turns worth taking risks like that? Your series are super helpful, and I'm really enjoying them and Speedbowl! :D :D :D

[@cKnoor]

Chaos Dorfs are super mobile though, they have two pieces that can pretty easily move 9 ma per turn if they want to. When to score is always a gamble, as orks I prefer to stall if I can since they are n ot that great at stealing the ball.

[@TheXython]

Between this and the Humans, we are learning how to play against Chaos Dwarf teams just as much as learning how to play Humans/Orcs

[@TheCalenestel]

Crap! (Love, Chaos Dorf-coach)

[@Mrvoid100]

I would really like to see someone with your experience play a Skaven team, I just made one for fumbbl but the concept seems odd for me since it isn't a pass team that much but it is squishy.

[@cKnoor]

Well you are in luck. kzbin.info/aero/PLSJ6kwwJv4Nq6QEJ5u6v_S_oFCTHnH8HN

[@Whiterabbit124]

FOr the love of Nuffle, MOAR! Khemri especially appreciated. They look so good on paper but I can never make them work and get roflstomped by pretty much any team bar gobbies and the likes.

[@Pehr81]

I like to have a blitzer as a BC. They only need SH, already have block and better MA/AV. It's just a matter of taste really.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

He said GG (good game) to imply that you've already won, and he's already lost. A Khemri or Ogre demo would be nice.

[@cKnoor]

Doubtful considering she had a decent shot at scoring after the kick.

[@DyvimZard]

cKnoor Yeah, he shouldn't have given up at that point, but that is what 'good game' implies: game's over, thanks for playing.

[@cKnoor]

Dirk Schlobinski As you know my wonderment was due to him gg-ing when there clearly was no need to gg,

[@DyvimZard]

I get that. Your orcs must have been too intimidating ^^

[@michaaelstanfield3608]

cKnoor ive been getting into competitive gaming recently and ive noticed that people give up way too early

[@Darthpathfinder]

Do you plan on doing any more of these in the future?

[@fatjack2b]

Can you explain your choice to not just run the ball in on turn 6? I mean, that bull centaur only had to dodge 1 tackle zone, and he could re-roll it aswell, so i'd say the odds were in his favour.

[@cKnoor]

Bull Centaurs have ag2 and as such are a bit shit at dodging.

[@Nr4747]

Why is this guide over an hour long, here's my guide to Orcs: "Bash people". xD

[@ThyMajesticOne]

Wouldn't it been more safe just to score in turn 7 and hold off until halftime?

[@jitterbug__]

can't wait for "how to gobbo"

[@MrJamesRye]

Are cheerleaders as unneeded as assistant coaches or you think a couple cheerleaders are an good investment for a team once it had a couple leveled up players?

[@cKnoor]

cheerleader and assistant coaches do the same thing and are equally useless.

[@3Hotdawg3]

Which team are you planning on doing next?

[@Shaharmes]

what are those farm teams that you speak of in auld? didnt quite understand why you would prefer the league you picked over auld.

[@cKnoor]

In Auld you can challenge your friends, so in theory you can just play games against your friends and farm SPP without having to worry about getting injured. In Naggaroth you can only play random matchmaking, so you can only gain SPP by "normal" play.

[@lorlieatmysocks]

i feel like you didn't talk enough about why someone should play orcs instead of an other bash team like dwarfs or chaos

[@BeyondtheRecord]

what would those reasons be?

[@RoughlyGentle1]

With your elven plays, I really want to see you do Khremri. XD

[@Lucadi0]

Are these bb1 videos still viable for bb2? Trying to learn the game before competing in leagues! Thanks in advance!

[@joeytcb]

King Lucadio absolutely

[@rickvist3212]

This was cool

[@michaaelstanfield3608]

so knocking players into the crowd is also a foul?

[@KyuuStarr]

Hope Quill18 checks this out.

[@commander9087]

And thus it was so!

[@Anime4Life35]

Dark Elves do Dark Elves

[@TheKeaver]

yes, please do dark elves

[@Nr4747]

Based Dawg Dark Elves are the only Elves I like playing. I just LOVE the assassins, they are so amazing and annoying for opponents to deal with. Don't really care about the Witch Elves, though.

[@Anime4Life35]

I always send the assassins after the person's best player

[@TheKeaver]

i prefer 4 blitzers, a runner, and the rest are linemen, so much mobility

[@MegaGamerdude97]

plz make goblins next :D

[@Flame19judgement]

GG means Good Game :)

[@nexviper]

GGing while only 1-0 down with 4 turns left to play is a little premature though.

[@cKnoor]

nexviper That's what I thought too.

[@K3lthroun]

G_ood G_ame! :D

[@MrEasterband]

Not naming your players and no team moto? I thought you were cool, cKnoor! Why must you break my heart like this? But I guess that 23 team with 11 players means you have to come up with 253 names... Still very disappointing!
