you didn't mentioned recruitment ambush of Beastman. perhaps you didn't know about that. but you can ambush multiple armies in one AI turn. all you have to do is to recruit at least one unit in your army before hitting the end turn. as long as you keep wining battles your army stay hidden.

The endless drum ability provides ammo when ammo count is below a certain level. It's there so the gunners dont run out - but the gunners shoot faster than they reload so expect downtime during prolonged combat.

For Ratling Gunners, their ammo counter is their entire stockpile, and can theoretically shoot for as long as they have ammo. When they run out, they have to reload, which is where Endless Drum kicks in. More ammo before refill = longer time shooting

Late-game sacrifices to Sotek may not be broken, but being able to use sacrifices to recruit a bunch of Blessed Temple Guard, so your frontline almost always consists of some of the best melee infantry in the game is pretty good.

Love this channel :)

U can print fuel by having multiple warlock masters fighting rebel armies in ur minor settlement (legendary) or enemy one (other diff~) while raiding it. Can have assistance of other lords if ur economy is strong enough. I've had dozens of armies on to farm levels on easy before I've expanded

Fighting Malus as Zarkon is sick.

I chuckled when I realized who number one would be as soon as you said 'imagine how broken that would be' about infinite ammo

Maybe not on par with the others, but Kroq Gar has recruiting level 50 scar vets and old bloods with +50% weapon damage. Just build saurus buildings everywhere and you reach max level lord and hero recruitment by turn 80. Stacks of these cause havoc if supported by an oracle with healing.

@muhammadsaduddin308

Жыл бұрын

Here some tips. 1. Don't charge your army Right away from start. Try to maintain your formation as close as possible before charging. 2. Charge your unit 1 by 1. Don't just mindlessly charge all your army, even with locked group. By charging it one by one, you could see better how the battlefield turning. Also, you could support your army better with your reserve elite infantry. 3. Don't be afraid for your Frontline to get flanked. Especially if your unit is a tanky unit (dwarf, chaos warrior, etc.) Instead just prepare a punishment for your enemy if they try to flank them. For example, you put greatsword infantry as reserve behind it. They flank your front, you flank them back with better infantry. You could also put gunner/low range high damage unit for it. 4. Split your army into multiple locked group. Especially on uneven terrain. Having your entire army moved in one locked group could be disastrous if the pathfinding is bad. Also having multiple locked group will make you having easier time to encircle your enemy. Think of your formation as left hand, body, and right hand and you want to hug your enemy tightly. 5. Having trouble against long line enemy formation that longer than your army? Give up on flanking one of their side. Instead, try to imagine your formation as sword and shield. Your army on the sword group will play aggressively and focused to flank one of their flank, and the shield group will play defensively to make sure your sword group don't get flanked.

Honestly it's difficult to decide which faction is the most overpowered with the mechanics as well mainly because they're still going to be some more added DLCs plus legendary Lords which will improve that one's faction such as the changeling for one is quite the interesting faction, not to mention we still haven't got the greater demons for the skaven yet aka the vermin Lords so I think I'm just going to wait until we at least get that deal see and then decide which is the most overpowered.❤ Also love your channel and I really love the work you do it makes it a lot easier to play Total war Warhammer especially when some of us need to visual.

How did Khornes/Skarbrands Bloodhost armies not make this list? Defintely a super strong mechanic.Was thinking it would come in about 4th or 5th.

You've missed grimgor starting the campaign with a t4 or 5 if lucky settlement and just raiding cathay caravan

Honestly all three skaven unique mechanics are great. Skrye's is the best, but snitch gets effects to mess with enemies and delete factions, and throt can make armies eith massive monsters fast and thousands of mutated rats.

Minor mention to Talsyn getting free upkeep for having 25 active wars. Very strong however not OP due to Welfs dogshit recruitment slots capping out at 2 with the best units being 2 turn.

Everyone bringing up Snikch' shadowy dealings and deleting a faction, but forget that the countdown is ONE HUNDRED TURNS 😂 i think I've used that ability at most twice in the same campaign, so no i don't think it holds up because it's very rarely necessary, and almost never available

This whole list screams "ORDER TIDE UPDATE, PLS!"

Athel Tamarha. Steal the different unique buffs from different factions and slap 'em on powerful HE units

Just imagine Deathmaster Snitch AI deleting my late game faction! Is that possible...? I don't think I'll be having any fun that's for sure 😂

Im disappointed the Sisters of Twilight's Hawk Riders Arrow of Kurnous abilities arent mentioned. Have you guys tried a full army of Hawk Riders? One volley essentially demolishes 1/3 of any non monster unit, and even without that they have their normal AP damage missile attacks AND decent melee combat stats, not to mention they can stack up on top of each other when ganking enemies, especially large opponents. Combined with the sisters' buffs they are virtually impossible to stop. A single army of them can probably take on 3 or 4 generic armies on their own. The best thing? You dont need to do much to set this up.

why is Game Workshop so in love with Skaven? it's almost like there's a secret force at work...

2:00: SKELETON WARRIORS

Throt and Snikch are very sad about this video

People wanting chorfs nerfed when they take effort and upkeep to have a lesser version of the Forbidden Workshop that's still OP after having been nerfed already on one of the most varied and supplemented factions in the game. If some want regular dwarfs buffed, that's fair, but wanting chaos dwarfs to suck just because regular dwarfs do is pretty lame.

Some of this (as well as what's being said in comments) is lacking context, it's looking at the mechanic on it's own. Gattlings are very easy to counter. Like snikch shadowy dealings seems op, unlock a delete a faction with a 100 turn cooldown. But look at it in the eyes of a good player, what is one faction every 100 turns? by turn 150 I've pretty much won the game no matter the faction, so I see the shadowy dealings as a fast forward button. But those goblin archers with frag arrows... that gives me nightmares.

If you take Skaven at least talk about how utterly OP throts one is because He can buff every unit to mutter hell beasts and snikch

If Slaanesh forced vassalization worked it'd be op too. Seductive influence seems bugged on cult buildings though so you need to rely on diplomacy or killing lords or something. You can't actually maintain the chorf hellforge mechanic (at least not before I finished the drill campaign) with whatever cheat codes were used for this video. Doesn't belong on this list and it's not that op.

Chaos dwarf is definitely op. You could also maintained it easily if you find labor as many as possible. Having some province dedicated to factory will get you so many gold and weapon (commandments).

N'kari would need to be here. Once you've accepted you won't have any friends other than your vassals, the game get really funny. Enslave all your high elf neighbors, afterwards to the same to the dark elf and follow up by doing the same to the human factions. With your summoning ability you will also always have enough armies to defend your holding and push on without care. With the buff on income you get from your Vasalls you also have infinite money to spend on your armies.

No one's mentioning Slaanesh's ability to Vassalize every human and Elf faction on the entire map? It takes a bit to get going, but it's very easy to get your affinity up with them to avoid war while you wait for it to build. You get nearly half of the entire map completely in your service without having to fight a battle.

Really the problem with most games is normalizing which is the result of a claim of OP mechanic and makes said mechanical crap in the end. I don't agree with the Broken or Overpowered term when it comes to games. We get factions that are strong but it's a challenge to beat them with other things, otherwise, they become the same and have no uniqueness. CA needs to upgrade other factions to come close to some of these so we have different things otherwise normalizing comes in and breaks the game IMO. Every faction should feel OP when you learn to play its strengths and every faction should have a few weaknesses. Skaven has plenty(Food and morale) and I never struggle against them. Just my two cents!

I disagree. Taurox and Skarbrand campaigns are less fun than they could be because of the OP mechanics. Especially Taurox makes me lose interest many turns earlier than other factions because it feels pointless to continue.

It's a bit more mundane, but the chorf economy options are definitely op in multiplayer. Late game economy can recover settlements faster than someone knocks em down.

Snikchs anarchy mechanic is missing 😊

soooo essentially you either have friends or you have the best mechanics, because it seesm like all the best mechanics belong to bad guys. intentional maybe?

Shadowy dealings > forbidden workshop

Dude ...Do you just hate Kholek or do you not realize just how powerful he is with his ability to become stronger just from getting more vassals. And ontop of that most things can become Vassels. that and the fact snitch can literally just delete a faction. Honestly you really overlooked some.

I notice more and more people doing specific challenge campaigns to make the game difficult, and entertaining again for streaming. It is sad because this is supposed to be a strategy game. I know I find myself playing other games more lately because this has become more of a fan game than a strategy game. Nothing wrong with that but the recent DLC seems to add even more OP mechanics.

This guy only knows the most obvious surphace things about the game. Sometimes I wonder if he actually plays it ot just reads the tooltips. How do you not mention Snichs ability to insta delete a faction or damage reduction mechanics or upkeep reduction mechanics or infinite income mechanics?

I think you missed a trick when it comes to the Skaven Food mechanic. Build up enough food and take over any settlement at max level, or one below it if you want to take advantage of the almost equally broken Skaven growth rate. As a Skaven, you can abandon your starting capital and re-colonize it to tier 4 or 5 fairly early in every campaign, and then just keep on doing it with all your new territories as well. And while Clan Skryre is powerful thanks to the Forbidden Workshop, there are other Skaven factions with very powerful mechanics. Because line of sight weapons aren't that great in WH3, I'd even say the Forbidden Workshop isn't the most powerful mechanic available to the Skaven. Yes, Ratling Gunners with infinite ammo sound very powerful, but when they spend nearly an entire battle and hardly fire a shot, that ammo count doesn't matter much and you've wasted your resources by bringing them. And because you can't easily put a unit in front of the ratling gunners to protect them the way you can with indirect fire (slinger/archer/some artillery) units, they can suffer huge losses if the enemy attacks them.
