[@josephdedrick9337]

time to see whats the worst unit? giants or deck droppers?

[@FuelDropforthewin]

They're a flying ranged unit that's excellent for getting flanking and rear shots. They're terrible head on, but they are mobile firepower in an army that otherwise lacks fast options.

[@solarboy48]

In what video did his opinion on bloated boys change? I'd love to see it in real time

[@Tachii31]

I never paid attention to the bloated corpses before, but I love that belly flop animation. And I feel like we got some great quotes from Legend's book, "The Art of Total War" in this one. "Don't fight your enemy at their strongest, fight them at their weakest." "It can be worth it to take a step back if you can take 3 steps forward."

[@jims4592]

If you get a melee hero in combat with a bunch of ai, and then send in a bloated corpse when they're all blobbed up... it will make you tearful.

@@DIEGhostfish No it does not. You can "retreat" from the menu screen. But if you have not fled once, you can still "concede defeat" You will potentially lose magic items though.

[@FrankCastle-tq9bz]

I rarely have the need to run from Skaven ambushes - my preferred forces of heavy infantry (such as Chosen) and cavalry (like dragon ogre shaggoths) often wipe the floor with anything Skaven bring to the field even when they technically have the advantage.

[@CommanderTavos99]

So they use the strengh of the balance of power but because they arent in the battle yet, they cant get hit o.O

[@sicthemutt]

Hearing legend admit bloated corpses can be useful put a smile on my face

The only thing better than getting your bloated corpse to a successful bomb versus expensive enemy units... is blowing up an **enemy** bloated corpse amongst some expensive enemy units.

[@Riwillion]

I honestly don´t even consider that withdraw cheesy. It´s not like you should be forced to reinforce your own forces in the first place, or be prevented from retreating just because your "primary" force can´t retreat. It just makes no sense.

[@ArzhurG]

The cheese is that the strength of the reinforcements was used to deal damage, even though they didn't take any damage at all.

[@Riwillion]

@@ArzhurG True, but what I mean is, if the game is screwing me over, I am fine screwing with the game to combat that.

[@drunkenslav2334]

[@Riwillion]

@@SpencerLemay Sure, but getting a cheat engine is definitely way more work than just cheesing it a bit. And for a lot of people, cheesing can also be fun, even though I am not a huge fan. I have actually "cheated" once in TWWH2 when a recent patch screwed with my campaign in progress and lost my Teclis several talent points. I used save parser to give them back to him and respec him :P I also tried modding the bugged Treacherous trait for the TK based on a tutorial somewhere, but it didn´t work, sadly.

2:02 WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!?

[@Kuddochan]

That concede defeat calculation needs some serious balance tuning lol

[@Riwillion]

More like the game should stop forcing you to reinforce anything you are able to reinforce. It makes no sense. Not only that, but it also prevents your reinforcements from retreating... for some reason.

[@Kuddochan]

@@Riwillion Oh for sure, that's always been a stupid design. Best would be to change both though

[@01001010010001001100]

That's how many kills the autoresolve would generate if the necrofex were fully involved. Legend withdrew before they hit the battlefield but the kill calculation remains the same.

[@Kuddochan]
