Mordheim: City of the Damned - Ultimate beginner's guide

[@gangstalkerofgangstalkers]

I just wish this game got worked on more or a second game

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

I love to play as my dwarven brethren, and as my ork bois

[@Grox44]

Yeah I really wish for a improved sequel. Found nothing else like this game.

[@schpeidermann]

@@Grox44 The dev-team got bought off and most work in different companies now. I fear we won't see a sequel. At least not by them.

[@CountWulfen]

Dwarfs and greenskins would’ve been a nice addition. Maybe even beastmen drown by all the wyrdstone

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

Theres a rumor that Rogue Factor is working on a Mordheim 2. I hope its true. I own this game both on PC and PS5. One of my favorites. I hope they make it bigger and better if they do. But they NEED to add a casual mode for new players/SRPG fans who can't handle the perma stuff (You know, all the fans who reset when a fire emblem character falls LOL). It might seem bad to fans who love the rough nature of this game to do so, BUT we want the game to succeed if we want them to keep expanding and supporting it. And making it accessible with more mass appeal is the only way that will happen.

[@penedulumskateco7691]

If they made a second game with love and attention and longevity in mind. It would literally be endlessly repayable. This is one of the most promising games I've ever played. Every aspect of it screams "I'm a few tweaks away from being a masterpiece of a game".

[@leeryarch3523]

What a lovely guide that I feel like really gives the late game the time in the sun it deserves. I got my butt handed to me in my 1st warband and after watching videos like yours the difference is night and day. One thing I might like to add is that if you bring the minimum warband size of 4 members to a fight, it can be really useful as it allows you to take missions where you split in 3 groups without actually having to be split, control what the enemy brings, and minimize the dangers to your warband if things go sour. Also allows for you to bring a group of 4 fresh hires in their own little group to start training up a B team later on. Best of luck to those who read this and thanks for the great vid.

I can appreciate saying “who am I to give advice?” And then give credentials. That’s actually good to hear when so many ppl make guides that really don’t know sht

[@Justintheinsane]

Great tips. Picked the game back up after years ago faceig tons of frustrating game losses. Playing an all dodge team as an undead. Working out so far. Been playing all mission types and some of the scattered ones are the hardest. All zombie hechmen with the poison globes are super effective. The AI also avoids going thru gas and will take long paths around. Enableing my team to have a number advantage for a few extra turns.

me a 5 of my mates have just discovered his old game and love it, tho thru our lack of knowledge we discovered how brutal it can be, great help thanks

[@unbakedpiano906]

Got into Mordheim recently after discovering Stobbie's skaven campaign and being intrigued by the combat. Got it on a sale recently and I'm having fun but getting my teeth kicked in. This guide helped a lot and your channel looks cool. I subscribed and hope to see more videos from your channel

[@andrewfermor3086]

I’ve always wanted to play this. Your guide has helped me out immensely

[@temax3853]

playing now 2024 on play 5.and I love it

[@schpeidermann]

2024 going strong!

[@matteoformigoni8933]

Just picked it up today and about to start my first run

[@Leatrel]

Friend, thank you for this video, hope for Mordheim 2.0 is alive, after the success of Total War and the return to The Old World

[@KCUFyoufordoxingme]

I love playing online against other players that think like him. Even undead, give enough leadership to the mid slot and leader unit to cover their own morale cost when they fall. Nothing funnier than a full sized army battle against an undead player and they retreat and lose after THE FIRST UNIT LOST. The toughest thing about leveling impressive means that the enemy gets to bring one too on PvE, and that massively increases permenant injury to many builds of your more high end units getting critted to kingdom come, even if they win, from a 6 or more attacking massively high crit chance build impressive in PvE matches. They can have crit chance far beyond anything else in the game with the most attacks to boot with massive dodge and parry breaking. That is hitting your army every battle. That is potentially very expensive. I would strongly recommend taking a perk for getting enchantments so when you get to late game all that time is not wasted up to that point then starting to collect them. Increasing choices of battles is also easily the most valuable perk once you understand to proactively go after that warp stone in the least time. I don't care about his PvE win and lose record. Show me advice from a man who beat chaos campaign level 6. The highest difficulty PvE is absolutely worth it if you can grouped together as there is a massive spike in loot quality. Definitely seach drawers and stuff in high difficulty matches.

[@NightshadeX85]

Just got Mordheim, was always curious about it. This vid has helped me out a lot. Much appreciated for this.

[@Layo81]

Thank you, most appreciated. I have had this unused in my library for a while. But while I'm waiting for them to fix Total War Warhammer I need a new Warhammer fix. 👍👍

[@3chambergamer]

I seriously love this game.

[@FrogLaneStudio]

Thamk you for this guide - Super Helpful :)

[@Grox44]

I think routing should be removed for the player unless you choose to. Make the AI sometimes fight to death of all units.

[@ForgottenGames]

Agree. You fail so many bonus objectives because the rout too fast imo

[@Grox44]

I want a sequel to this. I love the combat and slow play. Would hope the sequel would be longer lasting and higher stat caps. Don't need exact rules of Mordheim.

[@sombreroalien5121]

I forgot once to equip my guys properly before a campaign mission,was doing incredibly fine,and i didn't know there isn't a save file game option,so i tried to load the game only to find that my guys lost the mission and were cut with arms ans eyes missing and scarred or dead. 10/10 game Jokes aside small mistakes or not paying attention in this game can ultimately spell doom for your team but for me personally i always loved rng and roleplay aspects of the game and you can build your characters in many ways, sometimes can be frustrating at the beginning but once youe guys get experience then is where the fun begins

[@blackcatredriver5878]

Great discussion and tips, even for experienced players!

[@sharku117]

Absolutely amazing guide, going to attempt to actually get a warband past 5 with this for once. Thank you for your hard work and effort. Also, I assume this is a second language to you? If so wow you speak it well, but a quick note on how you pronounce Agility. For some reason in English we break the rule of how G works with that word, it is pronounced "Ah'jill'it'ee not Gill like a fish. As someone trying to learn a second language myself I just wanted to offer that bit of advice since I saw no one else say it. Anyway, amazing video, think I am going to start up a new Skaven warband, thank you so much for your effort and information.

[@ForgottenGames]

Thank you. Yes. I am Dutch myself. English seemingly has little rules when it comes to pronouncing things. There is for example no way I know how to say: ‘log out’ without adding a Dutch ‘g’ in there.

[@sharku117]

@@ForgottenGames Oh yeah, most of the time it is a hard G sound, i grew up in the USA and it confused me all the time. Also doesn't help that English speakers pronounce EVERYTHING different depending on where we grew up. I had a horrible time spelling in school because people didn't say things the way they were spelled. But yes you are very welcome, thank YOU for the content, and your English really is very good, I only assumed it was a second language due to the accent.

[@toxiknao8826]

So i thiught id give up on the game but overtime i started to understand what to level up. My strongest leader is a swvered arm leader with prayer of swiftness which is honestly pretty cool. Any advice for act 1?

[@ForgottenGames]

Check the part where I do the first act for the low level warband. It has all the information you need

[@voidghost84]

Hi. Nice video. I played this game for a while (69.9h) about 10 months ago. I played th sisters for a bit and then the possessed. I got one hero to level 10 and the impesive (Chaos Spawn) to lv 8. The Spawn didn't get taken out even once until then. And whats the first injury he gets? Death. After that, I tried to level up another one but the gameplay dropped in the fun factor and I sopped playing. I played real Mordheim a lot years ago and I can see they tried to copy most of the rules. That was a bad idea. They don't translate that well. They should have (in my opinion) done a few changes: 1. No death until you get say 3 permanent injuries. Or make this a changable option: no at all, after 3, as it is now. Or let there be an option to save such a character by paying a sum for a miracle cure or hiring a surgeon. Or JUST LET PEOPLE SAVE. And if they don't want to? Choose the Ironman mode for the band. 2. Put in some facilities in your base - like the buildings in Darkest Dungeon, that you can upgrade. 3. Why does the enemy band mirror your own and why has there have to be always one? If you're playing singleplayer, you could encounter some groups of creatures that are not a traditional band. Like the Khorne demon in the campaign. I'm going to go back to the game one of these days and at least finish the campaign, but I think I'm going to try backing up my saves manually now.

[@ps1hagrid28]

I love this game but man does it not like me lmao, I remember this one time while I was playing Chaos in the early game, I missed (not dodges or parries) 4 85-95% attacks in a row, then i casted that buff spell, missed that 85% as well, then got stunned by the 15% spell fail thing, and then the enemies proceeded to hit and crit everyone in the warband, pretty much killing them all in one go despite them all being at mostly full health, it was real rough I wouldn't mind it as much if it was occasional, but my god, even when i play my all cards right, there's always a really bad string of bad "luck" thrown in somewhere, but its probably the game deliberately doing that because it wants you to "make the most out of a bad situation" or whatever the game repeats over and over again lol

[@johndonachie8272]

level 5 story mission is a bitch for all warbands

[@potsupalmer8382]

I play this on ps4

[@Carpatheon.]

Thing I can't handle with this game, is even if you do everything right, one run of bad RNG can end you. Not having any fun with the game right now, certainly not enough to keep playing it long enough to learn how to survive and thrive. All my attempts so far have ended with a mission where I just get overwhelmed and then die when my guys decide to forget how to put the pointy bits in the enemy.

[@ForgottenGames]

Yea. Especially the early game is painful. Keep your guys together at all times, with one or max two guys scouting and scavenging. Never take risky campaigns, avoid hard and up and avoid campaigns that split you up or put you in between enemy troops. Level up weapon skill unless ranged. Hitting is vital for survival. Play Skaven or undead, they do pretty wel early one. Maybe even sisters. Try get the poison globadier. Not trying to sell a dlc here. But he can boost your early game a lot, where you just poison the enemy to death while your frontline just has to tank it

[@Grox44]

@@ForgottenGames Above hard is easy if you make all your guys waiting in one area for enemy. They will funnel in poor and be easily killed even the hardest missions. Just best to avoid anything that splits your units.

So I did an experiment and calculated 3 different games. It’s really unfair. The game is 63% in favor of the game. This game is very unfair

I think 3 games is way too small of a pool
