This was glorious, a little tip though, you can just send your steam tank in, instead of other units in order to clump up all the enemy, it's extremely hard to kill and since it's a single unit it wont be hit by most of the rockets.

Seeing how armor works in this game and the fact that steam tanks can be healed by life wizards, I'd say that's probably the best way to occupy the enemy for ages. Even better is the fact that Gelt provides an additional 10 armor with his passive ability, getting you that much closer to the sweet spot of 200.

Yes, this is true. There are better factions in the game to utterly cheese artillery: namely Lizardmen. Stegodons may be monsters, but they're also artillery, and it is a legit build that can wipe out multiple consecutive stacks battle after battle after battle. Helstorm Rocket Battery spam though is so easily countered by flying entities, cav, and monsters that's kind of sad. Granted, against infantry, Helstorm Rocket Batteries will delete infantry, no contest. But yeah, cheese Stegos, Necrofix Colossi, and other monster builds instead, you'll have an easier time.

[@SleepyFen]

The ultimate faction for stacking ranged buffs is likely the Huntmaster's Expedition. You lose out on the 10 % buff from Gelt and the 10 % from Wissenland as well as the 5 % for killing Wulfhart himself, but you gain access to a Dwarven master engineer and Wood Elf waywatcher which more than make up for that. Between Hawk Eyed, Entrenchment, Ballistics Calibration, Extra Powder, the master engineer's ability tree and a huntsman general, you can hit missile dps numbers in excess of 4000 with the Hellblaster Volley Guns and well over 14000 for the Templehof Luminark. And that's without counting the Bright Wizard. On another note, firing a 14000 dp10 Luminark shot at Luthor Harkon only to deal less than 400 damage makes you appreciate just how much magic resistance that lord is able to stack.

[@JRefumee]

Or you confederate him as Gelt. Then you also get the Wood Elf and the Dwarf.

In Huge, I have seen peasant mobs kill dragons with a death of a thousand cuts, while on Small, the same dragon can destroy and rout the same peasants in seconds. It is the same reason why Doomcannons became memes. On Huge/Large, they are your cookie cutter artillery; functional, but not exactly broken. On Small, they can one-shot elite units due to their tracking and the explosion radius being large enough to hit three quarters of the models in a unit. Have three of them in your army, have them each fire off three salvos before the lines meet, and you have pretty much halved the enemy army. It's nuts.

If you use the Mixu Legendary Lords mod, you can have like 12 Empire LLs, and one of them is Elspeth von Draken, the Dark Lady of Nuln... Who has some pretty good artillery upgrades on her own.

Something i would like to add to Ian Todbringers name is, that Todbringer means the Same as Deathbringer from an german Perspective. Which is interesting, because it lets his name sound less stupid.

[@jediknight1294]

Would be spelt Todtbringer right?

[@Patrick_The_Pure]

This remind me of Tiberian Sun's NOD Artillery (they thankfully got fixed in firestorm). High damage, pretty fast attack speed, ridiculous range, the artillery themselves had pretty decent hp and pretty fast movement speed and the buggy mess was... because of the programming, the shells had homing, so you could try to avoid all you want but they would always hit. Have 5 of them and your entire base was save against any AI attack.

Todbringer might actually have Germanic roots from “tot”- the German word for death, which effectively would be Ian, Bringer of Death. Kind of a badass moniker

[@bernhardmeysel]

dude, it is literally a german word. "Tod" is the noun death in German. "tot" would be the adjective "dead". "Bring" is the same in English as it is in German, as well as the noun "Bringer". And as German has compound words, "Todbringer" is literally a legit German word that means "Death-Bringer".

I don't exactly remember introduction in Brothers of Karamazov which explained these naming courses. What I remember at least "Dimitri" went to "Mitka" or "Mitja". Was there "Mitenka" somewhere between? Aleksei got Aljuska, I don't remember if there was others. I don't remember which Ivanovits got. Is there some exact rules and are they different with men and women?

before watched anything i will say, sir spiff should learn about doomstacks by legend

[@dontmindme.justaguy]

One thing I've always hated about Total war is the amount of micro. If they could make like a setting (think like formations and speed options at the bottom of the screen) to auto attack appropriate enemies within a radius around the unit (similar to how skirmish troops firing arcs look), that would make a world of difference, hell you can even make a bunch of new tech to go along with it, improving their targeting and increasing their radius. It could also be balance in a way that it will only trigger if they have no orders (move/attack) and will return to their original position once their are not more enemies in range.
