This is my save file, just a few things i wanted to add, the warrior priest is there as a walking buff/debuff AoE, he's got glittering scales, white cloak of Ulric, the brass cleaver, and a featherfoe torc (Which is almost useless against Chaos specifically but helps if something like a Dragon, a Terrorgheist or a Gryphon attacks one of the tanks) and of course the battle prayers + increased replenishment. Legend fought the battle pretty much as i would, the only difference is that when the melee begins, i usually pull all the tanks and the priest together so they can all get the buffs, if you cycle charge infantry units with them you can punch through Chosens with Great Weapons pretty easily, the only thing they really struggle with in melee even when they're all together and buffed are powerful melee single entities like giants, shaggots or dragons, but you can just shoot them if needed.

Just one thing i would say here, when you disabled firing those steam tanks lost most of their melee effectiveness, in groups steam tanks have a mortis like effect, those steam tanks have a AoE weapon that doesnt require Ammo. With 4/5 in a group you have a perpetual steam cloud around your tanks handing out damage. In larger groups they can be almost immune to melee to anything but elites.

Exactly! It's so wierd seeing Legend not using Gelt. Sure, firestorm is great (at 8 magic cost), but is it better than four casts of golden hounds (at 2)? Searing doom costs 1(!) magic, it should be worth casting it only for the map-wide casting buff.

[@Draxynnic]

That what pretty much my thinking as well. This army may be 2.5x the upkeep of Franz's army, but it sounds like it can also take on more than twice as much. To me, that's pretty much what you want out of a doomstack. You could have two Franz-style armies to do the job, but then you don't just have the upkeep on two Franz-style armies to pay for, but at higher difficulty levels you've also got a big chunk of extra supply lines on your entire army, which is probably going to be more than the 4000 gold or so's difference between two Franz-style armies and the Steam Tank doomstack. With supply lines at higher difficulties being what they are, really the only reason to be concerned about the upkeep of individual armies is if you need an army in a particular location but it doesn't need to be the most powerful army you can field. As long as you start thinking that you need a second army to support it, if gold is your primary limiting factor you really should be looking to maximise your slot efficiency over worrying about your up-front upkeep cost, since maximising slot efficiency works out cheaper in the end. That's my thoughts on the matter, anyway.

[@JustSome462]

@@Draxynnic The thing about Karl's army is that it's built around lightning strike, it could solo the Chaos invasion just like this one (It did multiple times in other campaigns) but it'd need to pick them apart slowly over the course of 4-5 turns, while this can just punch through 4 stacks at a time, so it's more cost efficient even if it isn't as powerful. That said don't use Karl's army comp against Skaven, Menace Below fucks it up massively

[@Draxynnic]

@@JustSome462 Building around Lightning Strike would mean that you have to be extra-careful about making sure you get to pick your battles. Which is certainly doable, it's just another consideration. As long as it is genuinely capable of taking on what it needs to, then yeah, it's not necessary to make it the most powerful army it absolutely could be, and an ~8000g stack that can do the job is definitely more efficient than an ~21000g stack that will do the same job. The thinking, though, is that if an army is not powerful enough, it's generally more cost-efficient at higher difficulties to sub in stronger units than to add a second army to support it. And it's better to err on the side of the army being more powerful than it needs to be than less. (Although the most expensive army isn't necessarily the strongest, of course!) I do note that you've got Lightning Strike on Balthazar's army as well, so you could take the 'fight them one army at a time' approach with it as well rather than just diving in like Legend did. But the extra upkeep does buy some additional margin for error.

I'm pretty floored at how much the army costs, even with the special regiments. Sure those state troops really drive up the costs, but it shouldn't be at over 21k gold. I've got an almost similar doomstack with ALL state troop steam tank units, and the cost is like 9k. I make sure every elector count position is filled, which reduces the cost by 5% per filled position. I've got 12 out of 13 spots filled. That's a 60% discount. ^9k is what this army SHOULD cost. The only explanation I can fathom on why this army costs over 21k is because whoever is playing this isn't paying close-enough attention to the elector count positions.

Don't Forget Gelt's bombardment spell only costs 1 wind of magic, he can spam the fuck out of that on enemies locked in melee. It has good coverage and is very efficient damage per wind.

At 15:14 he turns fire at will back on, and all the Steam Tanks start spewing (free) steam projectiles. If a unit has secondary projectiles (Doomwheel Zzzzap!s, Stegadon javelins, Steam Tank steam blasts, they will only fire if you turn on fire at will.

Why does the reinforcement system work like it's first the trash units (infantry) and cavalry coming, and then monsters and artillery? Because it doesn't work the same way when it's the player right?

It doesn't perform optimally at all in my experience but i love to mimic modern warfare as the empire haha just gunmen,tanks, rocket batteries and mortars with some of the war wagons. I usually win but casualties are always high. But its funny thinking about how modern arms would fare against fantasy Chaos. If only the empire developed with closer ties to the dwarves for another century. We'd have empire attack helicopters too 😂
