Hunter is a great hero, and a very rare breed. He has a unique trait of having both anti-large and anti-infantry attacks. This gives him tremendous flexibility, plus great mobility, Armor, damage, and mobility on the Stonehorn. They can counter both SEMs and infantry blobs and have the mass and speed to escape if they have to. Their buffs to Gnoblars and Sabertusks are also great. And the fact that Hunter is the only Ogre hero who can use a mount just underscores how great having other mount options would be for this faction. This was a great video- thank you. Looking forward to your review of the rest of the roster, including Greasus and Sky Striders.

My Greasus script is done, I just placed the Hunter as a higher priority. I know I'll break it up with more unit focus videos too, but that's for another day. I haven't done the other "artillery" units yet either.

Vanguard deploy and stalk is such a ridiculous combo for mounted hunters. Like logistically I don't know how something the size of a house that literally shakes the earth as it charges can sneak up on you, but there it is! They're honestly the highlight of the army. They can do almost everything well, and with that giant health pool a maw caster can keep them going forever. I also appreciate that you did the side-by-side comparison with the regular stonehorn. It's kinda crazy how much upside you get for just an extra 25 gold in upkeep.

It is, just takes time to nurture them and get them to Immortality. You can use items for the Stalk too potentially.

U need to try to make a skink chief doomstack, take a red crestet skink chief, give the skill that increades heros stats, and u have 19 stegadon riding skinks that work both as artillery with ludicrous damage and really good mele fighters too, with stalk. Its funny as hell

Great video as always. I love the hunter, he is my favorite hero in the game. And that for a reason! He can do a lot of things. 15 skillable anti large, a stonehorn mount, he can get stalk, his missile attack,... All that makes him great in almost any situation. A very versitile hero for sure.

I wanted to gauge interest, and there's been interest, also the faction has been a real blast to play once I got a lot of the mechanics down. But I understand how it's counter-intuitive, which is a problem for new people getting into a faction.

@OffToBattle a dlc being announced for a faction tends to make people interested lol and yeah those mechanics will hopefully be adjusted like what they did in thrones. Now here is the biggest question does one get the hunter cause he's good or he's the fastest way to a stonehorn?

@@williammccroskey2186 Yes.

I'm thinking you're probably right about Bruisers for 6.0... also, it was interesting to see a single spear throw hitting two plague toads and killing both. That's nice.

It shows that is possible. How likely, who's to say... but it can be done.

There Is a Brusier mod on the workshop. It's pretty ridiculous tbh. Hero capacity and recruiting at tier 3 ogre bull building. Typical melee hero stuff, unlocks the banner weapon about lvl 6ish....then you get to the level you can give them a 'job'. Brusiers in the mod get a job they can pick out and switch between in the mount menu. And some of them are ridiculous. Bodyguard giving great animations and bodyguard+look out sah! rule. An ogre in a diving suit welding a leadbelcher with the Extra Powder and giving an aura of More Powder. Giving AN OGRE DEVASTATING FLANKER. It's nuts and I love it.

That is quite interesting. From lots of experience, fighting Tamurkhan in current patch is a huge pain for ogres, but the defeat trait is SSS tier too. A few more tools (and at lower tiers) and Ogres could take that on more consistently, but eh, Grimgor and Tamurkhan just make it quite a rough neighborhood. I'll still put out campaign advice videos along with a Greasus one, and "eventually" Skrag. Bruisers will certainly form part of that catch-up process.. there's a ridiculous amount of power in the faction, just have to survive the race against time to not just get drowned out.

Hunters are good value, no matter the stage in the game. Adding respect into the base game really let's you take advantage of the sabertusk perks before swapping out at stonehron levels. They are good bois.

I really respect them. Even just on foot they last a good while for you.

Just a note, the tooltip is wrong on "can only get +50% more movement", you can increase it infinitely, there is no cap, same with how raiding and the such don´t take 50% movement to go into, just 50 movement points.

Reaaaaally now. I saw the tooltip and thought "Oh, that's official?" Hah. Thanks for letting me/ us know!

Would be kinda cool if they´d buff other beast units as well, after the rework ogers potencially get, such as the beasts they can use as mounts. Would improve their value even further if they buff a lategame unit as well.

I understand there's a Thundertusk which is considered a better "support unit" and not as much of a 1-man (hero mounted) wrecking crew, and there's also some vulture thingies that could be boosted along with Sabretusks in a soft Hunter rework. I encourage CA to be creative as much as they're allowed to.

I feel ogre hunters are basically jack up versions of Stonehorns. I use em and they become either a line breaker or a sniper. Though they aren't a slouch against both large and infantry, their big mass makes em weak against Missle. But another one is the leadbelcher buffs they get in the big name. get 2 of em with those makes my leadbelchers dangerous.

Yeah it's nice that they have strategic flexibility like that, and just recruiting more of them adds to your options.
