I was totally playing this clan wrong. Thanks for the quick release on this guide! I was going boar for the passive healing, but with your method the dps is high enough that the healing lore is sufficient. Holy OP rush too xD Raven Hounds going to be deadly!

@larsmanlive 3 ай бұрын

Foxskins go brrrrr. Great minds think alike xD. It's good to know that I wasn't alone on this. I tried going Boarskin for my first game with the clan as well: I thought early healing couldn't be too bad (so I played just like you!!!) and everything felt way too slow in comparison. Really looking forward to Hounds games already. Hounds + Raven + Snake could be BUSTED. Happy to read you comment once again

yeah for sure

@larsmanlive 3 ай бұрын

Above average for sure. Sheep spawn in first circle is very likely now. Lucky? I don't know about that. Sheep were closed, lorestone wasn't on shipwreck tile. No Naströnd/Jötunn/forrest or Thor's Wrath to colonize. I'd take forrest over sipwreck any time of the day. Keep in mind that your clan is not reliant on any type of early advantage by spawn. You can generate the ressource you lack by simply going that Berserker + Foxskin. No Lore? - Go Boarskin 1st The clan's ability to adapt is what makes it strong. It's strong on every spawn IMO.

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't be better to have 1 wolf, 1 bear and 3 fox? Bear has more defence and atk debuff + you can pick wood if needed on the occasion. Plus... why you are playing 3 vs 1 and 2 bots? O_o

1-1-3 should work as well. As long as you have enough dps in your comp. I tried recording footage for 6 games and after people left/did some dumb stuff online + crashes I settled on playing "hybrid". This way, it was also easier to highlight the "vanilla (PVE)" aspect of the clan, which is clearing the map and building your army. ~ Cheers!

I tried going all wolfskins because of early food deficit (bonus food on defeating spirit wolf). Then I went a mix build with 1 of each so I could select what resources I needed. Neither of those really felt like I could effectively clear. I will certainly try this one because it looks and feels like the clear clan hound is supposed to be.

Before anything, apologize my English plz 😌 Hmm on 1 FOR all i was trying this : Rush 2 wolfs, and that was enough for clean 1 or 2 years (with a boar ASAP). and lore > full military. And i try 2-3 times an another early game with 2 point on science on Top, for axes et brawlers used on food or mining or something, and forcing on lore, to get 4 point ASAP But this playstyle is.. Ok, but take too many times for getting strong (approximately end 802/ early-mid 803) for a strong army (on late i like to play 1 bear, 4 wolf, and 1 or 2 wild boar) But after seeing your vidéo.. 😁i recognize this play still is strong, but on solo, you have to scoot Hard if you want farm all the things.. So for me scooting is a problem for getting stable on resource.. but i will try your game play 😌 Once again, i hope my English was correct, thanks for the vidéo 🫡

To be fair, i find the mid-lategame with each zerker once and 4 bearskins pretty reliable in games with scaling teammates.

Now that I've seen the guide, I'm pretty sure this is more for multiplayer purposes - which tend to end darn quick. I finish my games in 804, because I also put Gladiators onto the food producing structures. Quick question, tho. You build the wolf for "early sustain", why not the bear then? Because it lacks the DPS later on?

Exactly! All my guides are aimed for multiplayer. A Wolfsking early is needed, because your clan will lack food! From my experience, wood is not the problem!

observing how AI played (2v2v2) it seems 3x foxskins (coin gen) are indeed good, but instead of food they pick lore gen units, for less rushed game, food can be easily gathered, while coin and lore are more valuable? also it seems AI obsesses with markets, so they can quickly balance resources just from farming coins :))

What did you mean by "fourth official clear clan" or did you say something else and I (and the closed captioning) misunderstood? :)

@larsmanlive 3 ай бұрын

There are Clans who heavily benefit form killing animals (or so called neutrals) in the game. Wolf gains food (after Spoils Kröwns). Lynx gains pelts. Eagle gets the ressources of the tiles. And now finally, Hound will be able to get either food/wood/kröwns or lore. For other clans in the game, it usually hurts their eco to invest into clearing. For the clear clans, they "gain" eco by clearing. If you have further questions, feel free to ask me anything!

@Kheays 3 ай бұрын

How would you rate double boar skin? Is it valuable enough to get the triple healing or should I work more on diversifying my guys? Also I’m thinking of splitting bear/fox skins for fighting enemies for the damage reduction and slowdowns, or would wolf skins be better for the dps?

@larsmanlive 3 ай бұрын

Wolfskins/Foxskins for dps. Boarskin healing is not really needed as the heal from bloodthirst is enough. I am a huge fan of the Bearskin ability as your units might be squishier than you think in big 3v3 skirmishes. Maybe Boarskin can be value, but it didn't convince me so far. Maybe you can tell me more, after trying out some different Berserker combinations yourself!

@Kheays 3 ай бұрын

@@larsmanlive Yeah Thanks, Could you maybe explain the details of bloodthirst a bit more though as I am a bit confused on the wording. Is the white portion of the HP bar the health that bloodthirst will heal? "Up to 30% of their max health" does this only apply below 30% hp or does the healing have a cap of 30% MORE than your current hp. EG a 65max hp wolfskin has 40hp, does bloodthirst apply and when filled should heal them to ~61? Thanks for your understanding and help man, and nice to see that Shiro sees you too :)

@spoyda 3 ай бұрын

@@Kheays I think its that when you get the military xp from killing a single unit, the max that military xp can heal is 30% of max health. So killing wyvern for example, despite giving a lot of military xp, will only heal them 30% of max health. Correct me if i'm wrong but this is how I interpreted it.

Overall I really enjoyed the playstyle of the clan. There's only one downside for me. Why the clan of savages looks like hispster gang from 80? ( I'm talking about the characters gameplay models) Of all 4 "Berkserkers" Only one has ( short) beard. Boarskin and Foxskin look like they are not brutes, but just out of beauty saloon. Can't really get too immersive with that. But yeah clan feels fresh and unique in the way of leveling system.

answer is you need less buildings... so less upkeep and more efficient use of a foodtile. But i agree with you that it is just to bad.
