[@saltiney8578]

your kind of missing the point of the video seeing as how this is a test of them in multiplayer and not campaign thats why he's mentioning their multiplayer cost and not talking about lord effects and technologies, Goblins can also be a super powerful unit if you have skarsnik but its kinda irrelevant to this video.

[@molybdaen11]

Under the command of a necromancer they are way better then alone. Because he can heal them and even has a chance to resurrect them after battle.

Goblins can soak up a lot of fire and have the advantage of being *better than your opponent expects them to be* Skinks have aquatic and are really quick, which makes them really good as light infantry.

Vampire Count Zombies have the vitally important role of disposable meat shield. They are a wall of flesh to bog the enemy down while other units do damage, and damn do they do that well.

12:27 "This fight, incredibly slow, incredibly boring to watch, I don't know why you're here." 🤣🤣

[@guffi00]

I love your videos, but it would be cool to see "competition" with using the actual unit role: for example, compare how long would those crappy units sustain against enemy archers or anti-infantry units. compare, how much damage cav does in charge and 5 sec fight agains various types of targets. I know, it's much harder, but it brings unit role to the spot lite, not just ability to kill each other. For example, i think scavenslaves are the best low tier meat: it's cheep and pretty fast and enemies have to chase it all over.

[@EagleScoutmano]

Idk about MP, but SP Zombies are literally the least expensive unit in the game- 100 to recruit and 0 upkeep costs. They also are really pretty tanky vs incoming fire due to somewhat spread out formation (more arrows miss). I would say they're harder to deal with going against them than Slave slaves are, especially since Skaven route basically on contact. XD

[@VindicareAssassinTTS]

So basically, killing a peasant and then raising his corpse is an upgrade.

[@jhl6304]

[@Mahrac126]

[@kvltofsobek90]

Skinks are the best because they're the cutest. Their high speed, aquatic bonus, and early access to poison effect and vanguard deployment in the tech tree is good too I guess

[@hybralisk]

Something to consider about Peasant Mobs, they used to cost 20 gold in campaign for WH 2 at least. The fact that they now cost 100 gold in both multiplayer AND campaign makes me sad. I would actually use them very often cuz of that cheap 20 gold cost which could be brought down even further with various skills / items / traits. It feels like they aren't worth 100g, but 20g is pretty cheap. Maybe 50g would be better? 75g? They have a hard time beating even artillery crews in melee ...

[@kubaGR8]

Is there no longer a tech that makes them free in the campaign? Pretty sure there was one.

[@hybralisk]

@@kubaGR8 ok so there is a tech that reduces their recruitment cost by 10% and that remains the same between the games. It also gives them a nice +10 melee attack putting them in the range of maybe being able to land a hit once in a while. Their upkeep in campaign has always been able to be free if one is at or below the peasant economy limit. Otherwise it's something around 50 gold upkeep on them if above the limit. The thing I'm complaining about here is the fact that they now cost 100g instead of 20g in campaign. That's a lot more gold to sink into a low performing unit and makes tricks with spamming tons of them to use next turn and then disband less viable.

[@Wardemonxi]

I always thought skinks were the worst back when I tested and found that they couldn't beat zombie pirate deckhand mobs and the mobs lost to everything else. Its interesting how a >b >c while c > a in this game.

[@Nerazmus]

Because it is RNG.

[@C2TheHill2910]

Skinks are a very underrated unit in the lizardmen roster in my opinion. Good use in the campaign. I tend to use them for clearing the backline of the enemy army in early and midgame. they are easier accessable than the lizardcavalary.

[@austinmadness1]

Skinks have the advantage of having high speed and aquatic

2 things, multiplayer and also peasant economy. Sure 0 upkeep is nice but they're useless except for absorbing a cavalry charge meant for your archers, but having any men at arms do that is better.

I'm only a few seconds in and I'm already smiling. We always hear about to top strongest, and best. But what about the units that are actually just so weak they die when you cough on them? And then seeing who among them dies to the lowest air pressure can wear their tin foil crown with a "U tried" Poorly scratched on to it.

[@MaSOneTwo]

I think in single player campaigns you should have something like five bonus slots for units that are basically tar pits. If you want more than that's gonna cost you but otherwise these units will simply be replaced first things and that's a shame really.

[@unvelo4297]

It's called having a necromancer. Or two. And a Helman possibly. That's what? Some 30 extra tar pits? And all they cost you is a bit of magic

[@unvelo4297]

@@MaSOneTwo That was meant to be a joke. If I was being serious I'd have suggested looking at the lords. Grom and skarsnik can carry their gobbos well into the late game, I'm not so sure about bretonnia but I think they have at least one lord that buffs their chaff too. Many factions have ways and means to keep the chaff viable. I just happen to love vc the most, the zombie tide we got with ie is just something else

[@therealfsh]

dont forget that ingame there are factions that will buff some of these, and they have different upkeep. if we account for immortal empires gameplay, the peasants are likely the worst, since they fuck up your economy and no lord really buffs them a ton. Meanwhile... Goblins - Grom the paunch/Skarsnik Gnoblars - Gnoblarkicker bigname ogre can make them pretty annoying at the very least Skavenslaves - Thrott the unclean Zombies - Helmman Ghorst, and even outside of him can be made 100% free with research Zombie pirate deckhand mob - Idk i dont have vampire coast dlc so havent played them but i doubt they nuke your economy for recruiting them early game. Furthermore battle abilities such as WAAAAGH do alot too. Betcha goblins would stomp if that was used.

Gobbos (+Gnobbos - even tho I would'nt use them because the ogrs don't need them-which are Gobbos for me) and Zombies can be used to flill up an Army or in an emergency (Grom can have a surpisingly strong gobbo army) and Peasant mobs ans Slaves are at best usable to "catch" the enemys ammo... (even though a good skaven army has always a use for a cupple slaves - "would you hold this warpbomb for me real quick? Thanks!") but to think their are all (exept the peasants maybe) in a symillar position... especially the zombies... I mean of course they are damage sponges and i don't expect kills from them... but geez... worse than skaven slaves? Skaven slaves are units I don't expect to hold longer than a couple of seconds (at least on their own)... Thanks for the vid... entertaining and educating as always ^^

[@L2Xenta]

Ma` Gobbos didnt disappoint me... very well done considering they be wielding spears vs infantries here. So they should do slightly better vs Large enemies than the other... "participants".
