100% agree with this general rule. If you use the trait manager, you don't get a rating. Cover it sure, this is MAX possible, but... it really does cheapen the intent of a one man doom stack. Thanks for covering the video, appreciated as always.

[@techpriestsalok8119]

But why though? Just say “it maxes out at a x”. I mean if I sent him two identical save files, one with trait manager, and one without why would it even matter?

[@Oxtrooo]

@@techpriestsalok8119 it's about how good it is in a actual game. if you cant make it in a campaign it's a bit of a pointless raiting as you will never be able to make the doomstack.

@@Oxtrooo but you literally can make it in game though? Plus he rated all those doom stacks with 19 hero’s that were made with a mod. I mean what’s the difference in difficulty between curating a great lord and getting 19 knights of tor gaval, or 19 max level bone giants? Or 19 max level hero’s?

You can also look at the campaign history to see if the key events are consistent with a few of the super critical traits

[@The_Blackshield]

The submitter got 700 kills and a Pyrrhic Victory. Legend got 357 and a Heroic Victory. Skillz the man has are sublime.

[@vinito19]

Remaining life points are calculated as well as kills.

[@LegendofTotalWar]

the kills actually don't matter for victory type. all the matters is how damaged is your army when you get the win. you can get heroic victories if you just rout the enemy and kill none of them.

[@billbob6220]

​@@LegendofTotalWar True, but I think their point was that you needed fewer kills to achieve victory because you took less damage. I.e. if you'd taken as much damage as the submitter, you'd have needed more kills.

[@Boingy420]

If you kill only infantry, you fluff your stats. Legend avoided infantry and just killed single units. As the original Lord of the Rings said - It still counts as one! ;D

[@halwakka504]

Getting knocked down should incur a melee defense penalty or extra damage modifier while down, not this ridiculous invulnerability.

[@Schmeethe88]

Agreed. It's absolutely infuriating that all it essentially does is drag the battle on. If your own characters are getting knocked down, it sucks because you can't cast spells, deal damage, or move. When it's your own characters knocking the *enemy* down, it still sucks because now they're invulnerable and it screws up your charge. Ends up leading to that goofy animation where your guy runs in a circle to try to come back for another pass instead of just staying engaged with the enemy and attacking them.... which means they come around and charge again and just keep knocking them down. Super irritating when you're just trying to finish off an enemy who's routing.

[@joedohn7496]

FYI, the melee hit formula is Chance to hit (h) = 35% + (melee attack - melee defence) where 8% < h < 90%. So 35% base, 8% minimum, 90% max.

[@otwk]

Since you put the effort in already to write it out as a formula; it should really be "8%

I still think a "What is the silliest thing you can make a weak lord into with the trait manager?" Gimmick event would be funny. Though some of the Clearly Best traits are pretty universal "Max out wardsave, get unbreakable, get regen and the hunger, get magic from United mind."

[@1453YT]

You can do so much legitimately anyway, for example you could make a hero doomstack with Dark Elves masters/mages as they can get all the names of power if you disband them and re-hire them if they are immortal, as for some reason it just gives the name of power prompt again. Trait manager is just so lazy.

[@Tachii31]

I respect the decision to not rate the trait manager users, since by using it, the person submitting it has already basically said "this is too hard/too much effort to do in a normal playthrough".

Awesome job with the running. I can't help but think you'd have been done in half the time had you casted more spells.

[@SuperMaggot11]

They will 100% dodge slicing shards due to the long cast time, I use it hold back an enemy army from swarming a capture point before I could take it.

I think having the WOM in reserve did more for inflicting the army losses than the damage any of the spells could do.

I don't think most people have a problem with trait manager; I don't. The problem comes with claiming you didn't use it when you in fact did. On top of that you're submitting to Legend, who explicitly requests you don't use it. It's against Legend TOS, like it or not lol. Use all the mods you want in your game, but he has based this series on official game mechanics; if they add it as a standard game mechanic, maybe he'll decide to start rating it.

[@MrSaintVehementus]

Well its unfair. No excuses for cheats. If AI cheats, you learn to counter that as part of learning progress. Lying and trying to get exposure is bad. Third once you cross line and start cheating, line will get blurred, that is exacly why he tried to lie to Legend. Because people get away with cheating they pull more and more shit. There were previous doomstacks pushed for rating and they didnt abuse mod/cheat engine. Partial rating was, how hard was stack to create. How hard it was again to use trait manager? He lied and even put himself in sylvania to create illusion. How fast that doomstack was avaible? well very fast if you get all traits at start and just grind xp. Im sorry but there is no excuse in rating anything if some people get 100% character progression from get go. And every "fair" doomstack that was rated by legend and wasnt 100% of traits is suddenly invalid. And lastly more creative doomstacks? seriously all lords will be copy paste and have regeneration and rest of goodies even if that trait is on other side of world and you need to meet special reqs to obtain it. Only valid reasoning is slow pc, but well Legend put his time to try your shit and maybe you can spend some of yours to properly prepare your doomstack, or maybe its impossible to obtain for you.
