Going over 200 weapon strenght which is mostly AP ain't half bad. 0 mammoths - ice trolls, ice wyrms , fimirs , some heroes. Totally scary army. Damage output is way higher than from mammoths. You would be surprised what bunch of ice trolls can do in terms of damage with 200 ++ weapon strenght EACH. And they don't run away all that easily with Throgg and once they got some techs etc.

So, in summary, being a follower of both Legend and the multiplayer scene: Orion is very good, just not in the meta of a legendary campaign. Updates and changes were built around multiplayer where mobility and maneuvering are far more important, which is fine. Drycha is much the same story. Clearly designed around Multiplayer, where she is considered S tier due to her cost effectiveness, summons and pendulum casts all of which are super valuable when playing against a competent opponent with equal resources. Bugged confederation mechanic and not being built for legendary holds her back in campaign. Durthu is kind of the opposite story. AI cant counter giant monsters like Durthu, meaning he just curbstomps entire armies and is super strong in campaign. Players have the brains to go "Hey, I should probably mow down the giant tree before he gets into melee". Taking Durthu in multiplayer against any faction that can take a cannon is practically throwing gold away, and his abysmal speed means most competent players can just kite him the whole fight. Ironically, Lore of Beasts (often referred to as "Lore of manticore summoning") was up until this update meta-breaking and practically an auto-include for any faction that can take it. Sisters of Twilight in campaign: Knife-ear Luther Harkon, flying monster with a consistent obscenely strong ranged attack and no weaknesses. Sisters of Twilight in Multiplayer: Knife-ear Luther Harkon, flying monster with a consistent obscenely strong ranged attack and no weaknesses. OP AF. Conclusion: I think CA has kind of come to the conclusion that campaign, especially on Legendary, is always going to be a janky busted meta made mostly of exploits and abusing the dumb AI and have stopped trying to build characters around it, focusing on multiplayer balancing where, lets be honest, it is a lot more important how individual legendary lords perform in battle.

Great review, but I believe Coeddil's name is supposed to be pronounced "Cethill", as I believe a lot of the wood elves names is based on Welsh.
@maevethefox59123 жыл бұрын
Welsh would be like "Koy-thill" I believe, which I do like. I like to go with a kind of bastardized Gaelic pronunciation "Kód-jil" because the wordplay with "Cudgel" is fun to me, but I'll be real, there's no legitimate argument for that beyond "I think it's fun"

I unironically think Drycha as her own faction can be better considering her non-stop aggression thanks to having access to the "necromancy" and her unique mechanics making elves expendable (still 3rd place though, as her own legendary lord and compared to all 3 other factions)

Drycha gives frenzy to the tree doomstack for all armies though (also aspects, but Durthu does that too). Also she has a unique tech that gives all the malicious treemen the murder of spites 'mortis engine' like effect. (technically there's the other tech that gives them deathblow so they're stronger when they're close to death as well) So she gives huge buffs to THE doomstack unit

I think a way of buffing ALL LL/H is to increase the amount of attacks over time. Seeing how slow the battle animations are for LL/H is kind of sad, they should be throwing around spears, shooting arrows, whirling swords around like madmen in combat. Seeing how long it takes Orion to throw or thrust a spear is just awful.

@notrebelbuffoon5223 жыл бұрын
so I may have missunderstood this, but playing as Drycha it is easy af to get Coeddil.. I get him turn 11 without fail, each time I play her. Also, while you cant confed Orion or the sisters.. who needs them? they dont hold up to the Treeman Leaders maxed out anyhow... Furthermore, by turn 20 you will have already gotten Durthu, if you went to hit Karak Kadrin like a smart strategist. Drycha needs her melee upgrades to be a great melee lord, ending up being able to hold Karl franz and Manfred and Vlad down, if you add her spells to it, she can even win if done right. The biggest thing though.. the fact that she can summon the beasts. you get a 12 unit army that is pretty good, even into the late game of 500+ turns as support. Previously the only faction that could do this were the Undead.
