Well, utilizing the every unit as best as possible is the best way to go. It's also hardly cheesing in this case, unless you count friendly fire and making use of it per se as cheesing. But then I could counter argue that any form of making use of your opponents mistakes is cheesing. And this would change a hell lot of game rules. Making use of mistakes of your opponent is literally the core idea of almost all games that have opponents. Including but not limited to board games as well. This army was effective. And if you only need a couple of units in your army you still build up a full stack. Why? Because of redundancy, if your usual strategy may fail for some reason. Then you have backup to work with. Problem is, that legend may simply be too good as player. We should rate Doomstacks based on how easy the noobiest noob can win with them on legendary. Because that is the idea of a doomstack. Being the closest thing to a guaranteed victory possible. (Speaking of cheesing, isn't making use of doomstacks just a form of cheesing as well? If this vid was cheesing for you, than doomstacks really should be too.)

@@brettbaker8497 I know what you mean, I just don't think that you should evaluate an army that way. An army should be evaluated at how it deals in confrontations, so far so good. And how good it is at defeating the enemy by also losing as few of their own as possible And I think you see where I go from here. Sure, he could have used the full army against the other one, but that wouldn't have been a) effective and he b) wouldn't have used the army to its full potential. And yes, even without 90% of the army technically not participating you can use the maximum necessary potential to win in the most effective way. That's why I would prefer these armies to be tested by people who have more or less only a basic knowledge about how this game works. As the idea of a doomstack is that anyone can win with them at least most of the time and normal encounters. Which is also a proof the following: How ridiculously bad the battle-AI actually is. - And this proves another thing as well: Total War difficulty means sh*t. It really does mean nothing. As soon as you realize how easy it is to outsmart the AI, there's nothing stopping you. But it also isn't fun anymore, as you see yourself doing the same over and over again with the AI acting in the same stupid way over and over again. The AI does not get smarter in anyway. And forcing players to play "worse" so that the AI can handle the players tactics is plain stupid. So you end up choosing "cheese", because it is the sensible thing to do. And all armies and all encounters will be build on that. What we desperately need, at least for higher difficulties, is a better AI, so that even "Doomstacks" may begin to lose their worth. So, yes he did test the army to its full potential, the AI is just laughably bad at dealing with human players.

The doomstacks should also be considered in terms of effectiveness in siege situations and the possibility of mass production, I think

I use mainly a mix of poison wind mortars and ratling guns(4 and 6), with 2 jezzails and 2 warp lightning cannons. Ikit claw or warlock master, warlock engineer and 4 plague priests for the rest. I use the mortars to weaken the incoming units, switching targets so everyone gets hit. Goal isn't to finish them off, just lower their health. Their low accuracy can actually help here to hit multiple units side by side. The DoT effect lowers their hp so the ratling guns have a very easy time killing them. It's a lot of micro as they're charging, but I don't usually need to control anything else at this stage. The jezzails target lords and heroes almost exclusively, and the cannons target single entity monsters or things like steam tanks, and of course I use the menace below for artillery. When whatever melee units remain get close, the plague priests summon their rat hordes and the mortars switch to targeting ranged infantry, and I have one ratling gun and one plague priest cover each flank against cavalry flanking. The ratlings shoot into the remaining melee infantry and monsters. If I have to, I can shoot the mortars into the surviving melee infantry as well (killing my own summoned units, but what's a little friendly fire among rats?) Reason I don't use the mortars for this right away is because ranged units are more of a threat, and my mortars would cause my rats to break very fast, giving them less holding power. So I usually only do it if there's a lot of stuff that made it that far, and then summon more rats to replace them. Sieges are ridiculously easy with the mortars and actually become easier the more units they have, cause I get the army losses penalty much more easily, and have lots of targets in a small space to hit. I can boost the mortars accuracy with the warlock engineer to help with ammo efficiency. Only 2 mortars causes me to run out of ammo too much, so that's why I normally have 4. Since my other units don't use their ammo, my balance of power stays very high. The biggest problem I have with this build are monster spam armies and single entity flyers like phoenixes and great eagles. Howling warpgale can hold the flyers in place, but my ratling guns are still needed for the infantry, so I usually swap two mortars with two more jezzails when up against high elves or factions with lots of monsters. Between the jezzails, ratling guns, warlock engineer and the warlock master general I use, phoenix spam armies are much easier, though still annoying. Single entity ground monsters get shredded by ratling guns. I don't usually need to switch them out too often, as the ai never actually makes arcane phoenix doomstacks. Can't really send this build in cause I use mods (nothing that would really alter battles), but thought I might as well share and see what people think. P.S. wow this got long.

There is 2 ways to approach creating a doomstack. The first is to look for a certain ranged unit/single entity/monstrous unit/cav. Spam that unit. Get a lord and 1 or a couple heroes to maximise the efficiency of that unit. Example: lizardmen stegodon spam. Lord life slaan (for healing the stegodon), hero saurus scar on carnosaur to rush arty/skirmishers and optionally a skink on a terrodon for damaging spell support. The 2nd way to create a doomstack is by having a handful of units that together are able to deal with anything. This is because some units have weaknesses that can't be overcome alone. Poisoned wind mortars for example completely wreck infantry, but They can't put a dent in a single entity. Comparatively most artillery has a lot of killing potential, but since it has no staying power it needs something else to fight with it. The stack above is an example of that kinds of "more balanced" build.

i like this army. its not something you see everyday. and like you said, thanks to the bood horrors you could take care of the steam tanks easy. and with the packmasters you can get wolf rats. and they are rly good thanks to their speed. i can think of many situations where fast units are needed.

Watching those doom flayer running around is my favorite thing.

I'm not sure about the brood horrors, but having packmasters definitely free up winds that would otherwise be used for vermintides, allowing the casting of other spells more often, but still allowing for vermintides if things get bad. They essentially do a good enough job of what plague priests normally would be doing while also being good at melee, allowing for fewer plague priests while still getting the same, if not better results in many situations.

Rate my Doomstack: norsca army full with giants Legend: 10/10

I like this concept. I remember the Dwarf battle where someone made an Irondrake Trollhammer Torpedo stack that annihilated dragons in seconds. Would love to see more like that.

I think it's important to rate how effective and easy to use they are on siege battles too. I love weapons teams, but for the life of me, I struggle so much in sieges

Okay, I know exactly what this guy is going for, which, as other commenters point out, Legend didn't really test. I actually have done almost exactly the same build with Empire, only with steam tanks instead of doom horrors, handgunners instead of weapon teams, and Hellstorm Rocket Batteries instead of catapults. I call this the "combined arms stack" because it's basically a modern combined arms doctrine applied to Total War. The purpose of the Doom Horrors is to function as a front line of single entity units that tie up the enemy. Because they're single entity, they take almost no damage from friendly fire artillery and don't block line of sight for your weapons teams. In fact, often enemy units will "wrap around" to surround your single entity unit, turning them into a shooting gallery for your gunners. On top of that, you can just spam spells right on top of them and not have to worry about damaging them. You mentioned that ease of use should be considered, and when used correctly, I actually think this doomstack is significantly easier to use. It involves almost zero intensive micro, because you just park your army in formation and pretty much just wait, whereas your typical doomstack basically assumes a high degree of micro cheese.

so for the first one, I'd say its an 8-9, depending on playstyle, if you like magic, then bring extra mages, if you need more things to tank for the weapons teams, or have unbreakable units the brood horrors are a nice addition, they can also assault gates nicely in sieges and the pack masters can create diversions (tecnically possible with menace or mage summons too)

RMD concept is cool, just not sure testing any stack vs 1 army having 70% or so of auto resolve chance is really that useful. At least 3 full AI stacks with decent/strong units within, or 4 full stacks... Or even 2 enemy stacks having lots of nemesis units of your own, that could work as well, but if it’s just a formality to win, meh, not sure you can test it for real... But the RMD concept is pretty cool 👍

I would only put maybe like 2 brood horrors in the weapons team stack when playing throt. When you get attacked by most cavalry army and corner camp they tend to put a lot of pressure on the side since they still trying to flank you. You can just wait for them to blob up and warp bomb them.

what formatstack?

I'd argue that this type of doomstack is better against high tier HE armies with lots of phoenixes because the brood horror will/can attract these single entities. Personally without the cost i would put it at a 9.1 or something.

We also have to factor in the campaign costs. Pack masters and brood horrors require tier 3 and 4 monster buildings to recruit and increase their capacity, plague priests get bell polishers and can fucking multiply themselves without extra buildings. That ability to be able to get basically infinite priest capacity with only one building is really unique and overlooked. You aren't just building for one army, but a template for multiple armies. I'd suggest 1 or two pack masters and no monsters, spamming plague priests is easy and extremely viable for creating a barrier between enemies and your weapons teams, but packmasters give replenishment, scavenge, and can spawn light magic/poison dmg cav without magic, making them better for flanking or distractions, so they shouldn't be ignored entirely.

Hey it would be cool it if you did a real quick rundown of your preferred stack for each army like you did in this video

9:23 When you find yourself in berween of a hammer and another hammer.

I like an odd warp cannon for that unexpected large target (range and stopping power) eg steam tank a bit less micro to go with the rest I guess. If it were straight choice brood horror (no mutation) vs warp cannon I'd go cannon. (personal preference)

so whose sending in the pompus skink priest stack ,all on engine of the god stegodons with a life slan . :D

That doom stack might outperform your usual set up in Siege battles.

Honestly you get way too much shit. The way your channel keeps growing the amount of requests that you get sent in is absolutely absurd. But just the fact that you take it upon yourself to not only get through them all but also respond to them including refusals is going above and beyond. that is A TON of work. You're a great content creator, your videos are very interesting and often fun. In certain cases even really informational. Love your channel mate, keep doing you

I would say just drop the brood horrors for plague priests. It'll mean that army loses a bit of ranged power and a bit of holding capability, but makes up for it in a massive mobility boost (Using Packmasters to be fast and deal good damage and Wolf Rat summons for squishier targets). Plus, it means you can put even more rat-things on a battlefield.

I think since the reattach exploit got fixed the best skaven frontline is units with a small model count but over 1. Rat Ogres, Doom Flayers and such. Replenish after every battle.

Couldn't agree more. Legend is right. 2 Packmasters and 2 Plaue Priests sound better, while the 3 brood horrors aren't a good trade off for the lost firepower

Mortars behind. These will do most of the killing. Those that get past the mortars will be shredded close in by the guns.

Oh boy, here comes the "staunch lines of spears!" purists

We need a "Knights of Tor Gaval" doomstack. Would love to see that but it's the only DLC I am missing.

Maybe for ease have a list of what your current doomstacks for each race would be? would maybe help weed out what you already use anyways

As someone who's completed Balthasar Gelt's campaign, I saw nothing wrong with their Hellstorm battery use? Possibly a few missed opportunities to hit their own troops stood in front of them but otherwise great show by the hellstorms.

Legend you should judge on 3 categories: Upkeep, how hard the stack is to create and how good it is in the battle. For example the okoi 20 stack is really strong in battle, but when you are at a point in the campaign to actually create 1 or several, you've already won. And in terms of upkeep since the lords are already fairly expensive, and can't be reduced as much that is also pretty expensive.

next: "pimp my doomstack with xzhib... euh legend of total war!"

I think two packmasters and two plague priests would be good because its more spammable then (not needing 4 of the same type of hero). Brood horrors maybe two but id mostly just be using the packmasters for the summons and not to buff other monsters

I recently started using only 15 units now for Skaven Doomstack on Legendary. 3 Plagueclaw Catapults, 2 Brood Horrors, 1 Packmaster, 3 Ratling Guns, 2 Warplock Jezzails, 1 Poisoned Wind Mortar, 1 Warlock Engineer, 1 Plague Priest & 1 Grey Seer of Plague but I have Lord Skrolk instead for the moment. Maybe I should switch those 2 Brood Horrors for Packmasters or something.

A few lothern seaguard stack savefiles incoming, i think.

I kinda agree. Pack masters vs plague persists I would go for pack masters now any day. For a weapons team build anyway. Clan rats vs. Wolf rats and rat ogres I would go for the WR and RO. Don't cost winds tp summon and are much better fighters for the dmg. For pack masters themselves they are much for tanky then plague persists with their Regan on the mount. I would say take away the basic brood horror replace with the missing weapons team. But now take PM over PP.

Maybe create multiple e-mails for different categories and then have yourself like a schedule of what you are doing each day - disaster battle, disaster campaign, rate doom-stack etc. Or do what ever u feel for the next video. Might help it that way

Artillery + single entities usually win, hellstorm rocket batteries always win (for the player) You go either arty and monsters or arty and weapon teams.

Damn, hellstorm rocket batteries are so good that they're great even when you fight against them

Bretonnia Doomstack, Lord, Paladin, 4 Royal hippogriff knight, rest Grail knights. Cost is ~6k once the lord has done the final vow, allowing for a ton of them, 1 army can auto win against most enemies, having 2-3 together means any continent is an easy win.

Nice Ikkit Claw and Helstorm Rocket Battery doomstack.

Yeah I have to agree with his assessment I find brood horrors to be say better than the other monster with regen option you had before, which was hellpits. Those are fun units but too big to play nice with weapon teams. Unless of course you want to go full skaven and kill your own units, but for the good of the campaign slaves would do the same for a fraction of the price. Another note I'm curious about skaven new chieften heroes. I assume they don't regen or summon so would be sub par to the plague priest/packmaster idea.

So we are here to test this scaven doom stack of hell rockets.
