The bridge is also supposed to be inside the ship, behind a big glass window. It's really more of a flying submarine than a boat like it is ingame, and of course it's supposed to be completely massive.

I think we all need more FFA's in our lives.

Flying units dont have terrain to worry about so their positioning should be penalized more harshly if the user makes a mistake - the tunderbarge spits in the face of this concept. the ability to just run away from any threat at 90 speed is so antithetical to what should be this units role - a flying artillery unit that needs to be protected and positioned carefully in order for success. Cut the speed or Make afterburner a 1 time spell or give it a "miscast" chance to do an instant 15-40% damage of total HP to simulate a enginer failure while trying to pump the engines. If youre using it - it means youre out of position and should be penalized for it. As it stands the barge can go where it pleases and suffers little repercussions from doing so

I love the power of the Thunderbarge. I'd actually leave it alone and instead just keep it extremely expensive. Let people get creative and find ways to focus-fire it down, it's not invincible. Astonished though that the SoG is not a mount option for Malakai = /

Thunderbarge needs to have thunderburner set on a cooldown rather than a toggle. Give it a 10 second speed boost and then like a 60 second CD. The self damage is laughable when you're toting 12k hp around. It can already out DPS pretty much any flyer in the game, it doesn't need to also be able to outmaneuver them.

Thunderbarge woud be balanced if the speed of boost didint out run most of flying enemies/ block their animations

So I feel like the best and easiest solution would be to give the thunder barge and land ship accuracy debuffs while using their movement skills. So they still do damage but not as much as it is more difficult to aim when moving that fast.

I think the air ship being so insanely OP is fine as long as the cost is increased. Imagine something so OP but you can’t afford to support it really so like 5-6 k gold for the airship.

So is now Thunderbarge the best unit in the game?

I like the look of the thunder barge, although I kinda wish there was a rotary variant similar to the gyro coptors

Thunderbarge is going to make the Dwarven Race ten times more fun to play as due to unleashing Airships on the battlefields and wiping out enemy armies with them.

00:00 - 00:02 MilkandcookiesTW in 2 seconds 😂

Should the airship even have armour? It's big balloon is a major weak spot.

I wish the Skyhammer was kept as one XL Gyrobomber. Would be fun for the RoR to call back to the original unit size.

I'd like them to fix the hit box - projectiles from spells to arrows to cannons are targetting the balloon which doesn't have a hit box - and fix flying units not being able to attack other moving flying units. Both counters to it are essentially bugged right now. Will it still need nerfs on top of that? Maybe. But bugs should be fixed first, not balanced around.

I think gyros should receive a heavily nerfed version of the steam tanks missile deflection ability. Theyre all-metal war machines as well, and their new increased unit model cap makes them pitifully weak. Maybe something like 30% from the front and 15% from the sides. Would allow them to actually get in range of literally ANY ranged unit without losing 25% health

I would like to see the hp cost being %hp based instead of a flat value, let's say 0.75% hp/sec or 1hp/sec (for the speed boost of the thunder barge)

Dawi becoming OP in 2024. what a time to be alive . ❤️

I hope that in the next dlc they will make them reworked Ogres.

The unit doesn't have viable counters right now, thats not particularly healthy for a strategy game, period. But that doesn't mean the Thunderbarge shouldnt be strong, and that it shouldnt be fun.

its a strategy game, first and foremost. units should be designed to have strengths, weaknesses, drawbacks, and counters. every other tier 5 unit in the game has weaknesses, from the Dread Saurian to Steam Tanks. A unit can be very strong, but it should still have weaknesses, and the Thunderbarge certainly has weaknesses in the source material, that aren't currently reflected well in game. That is simply bad design and should be changed. Like the fact that it can ignore elite melee flyers that are technically faster than it, or afterburn through anti-aerial spells like Tempest. If you want a power fantasy where the game plays itself, and kills everything on screen at the touch of a button, you can use mods for that (there are many), but that shouldn't be the baseline design of a unit, even a very strong one. Balance and unit design are still important in campaign/singleplayer. And a single unit completely trivializing the game is not healthy, ESPECIALLY when it is not capped or restricted in any way. People saying "i think this element of the unit should change because it is OP, here is why I think so", is not dictating to you how you should have fun. It's legitimate critique about the current design of the unit. If you do not believe it should be nerfed, feel free to leave an argument for why not. But I dont believe that "CA should never nerf anything in singleplayer" is a legitimate argument, because it flies in the face of good game design. Nerf is not a dirty word, they need to happen sometimes. Afterburn right now is OP, it has no cooldown and turns what should be a slow and lumbering behemoth into a fighter plane that ignores all its intended counters. Afterburn should be changed, it is silly in its current state

I'm gonna farm the hate but I don't mind the dwarfs finally having some big engineering masterpiece in the game. And I dont even play dwarfs. 😅 Let dwarfs have their power fantasy. Multiplayer is just a fraction of what most players enjoy anyway.

cannons aren't some magic counter to Thunderbarge, in a 1v1 or in FFA. Malakai and double Dwarf cannon is going to win pretty much any artillery duel. He gives them Higher range, more accuracy. higher missile damage, so in a 1v1 Empire cannons lose that fight before the Thunderbarge even comes into play. It has 13000+ hp and a wonky hitbox, it can Thunderburn directly on top of enemy artillery and bomb them to death before they can fire a 2nd volley. Any damage it takes gets healed by Malakai. Empire cannons would have done literally nothing to Spirit of Grungni this game, just afterburn out of range and play away from them until they're distracted. In this battle, it would have played out the same way, Thunderbarge stays on the Greenskins side of the field and farms points there, then goes over to Empire and High Elves when an opening arises

@@milkandcookiesTWwhile you absolutely may be right with what you say about cannons, it still would have been more interesting (at least for me) to see different approaches to take down this beast, instead of, yet again, flying melee. Why would wyvern succeed where a bloodthirster failed..

because the Greenskins straight up dont have better options for killing it. what would you recommend they bring instead? there are 4 armies on the field, they need to worry about Empire and High Elves too, you can't go all in to try and kill it because it makes your army weak against everything else. Not to mention in a FFA you dont even know where you will spawn or which army you will face, that just happens organically once the match starts. Empire brought Amethyst units that did really well, High Elves brought Tempest and one of the strongest flying squads they can possibly bring. Thunderbarge is just a huge problem for a lot of factions, cuz the stuff that probably should counter it doesn't, and even things like cannons will be the first thing the Dwarf player focuses down and destroys with their own artillery + malakai buffs

@@milkandcookiesTW to be honest I think greenskins are just screwed the way it is right now. Such a level of air-ground-threat is new to total war: warhammer and some races just don't have the tools to deal with it. Even though you made some very good points, I would still try to beat the dwarfs in the range game, e.g. with the new steam tank. But ofc, 4 ffa is unpredictable, and greenskins probably had the worst odds. Empire or elves could have done better. Maybe 2 units of hochland long rilfes, firing from a forest, can put some pressure on the spirit of grungni and at least zone it out. That being said. I sometimes come over a bit more aggressive than intended, especially in chat. I really like your content and am happy you are back in the game. I was just a bit frustrated to always see melee fly "gentle into that good night", because I wanted the skybarge to be destroyed for once - cheering for the Empire. :D
