Look, I love Nakai. He's my favourite character in Warhammer, and, based on his feats and simple logic, should probably be the single most powerful combatant in all of WHF (and potentially AOS as well). But... Aside from his ability to effortlessly create a god-tier economy, he is absolute trash in-game. For a character who should be a greater-daemon sized, unkillable, unbreakable, inexhaustible, being who is either the straight up manifestation of Lustria or the reincarnation of a war god (or both), with thousands of years of experience, and a sentient weapon containing the spirit of the aforementioned war god, he is so incomprehensibly mediocre (and small) it genuinely hurts.

Well, at least he CAN recruit kroxigors now. For the longest time he couldn't. Couldn't recruit temple guards and some other dinos, I forgot, either. So there's that I guess? But yeah, Nakai does need a "bit" of love.

It doesn’t help this challenge that Nakai is indisputably and undeservedly one of the worst lords in the game. Because they just forgor he existed. It sucks, I think he has two of the most annoying quest battles in the game currently. Especially the defense of Itza. It’s a great idea but the AI literally runs their lords in and dies and if either of them dies you IMMEDIATELY fail the mission, and you can’t save one of them before he dies because you’re all the way across the map and as a Slann he runs in to Melee vampire depth guard and dies immediately almost every time. I’m not sure how I managed to fumble my way into winning this battle at one point, retried it recently and I ran it dozens of times and each time the slann dies immediately almost.

I do actually think Normal battle difficulty is about the same difficulty level as very hard in most cases (in manual battles). The AI is dumber but it also makes better decisions in terms of the pacing of battles. It dosen’t wait until you've slaughtered half of it's army with spells before moving up to attack you like the VH AI often does, for example. In this case, I turned it down to test it out because I kept hearing that it was actually harder and also I knew I'd be auto-resolving a lot of super easy battles with a low casualty replenishment rate. Basically, if you fight every battle manually it's the same, if not harder than very hard. If you autoresolve a lot though, it's dramatically easier.

@@additionalstupidity I've been saying that for awhile now, but people like to shit on the idea of hard and normal being harder than very hard.

2:37 You say that, and they definitely should be close to that size (maybe 15ft), but in game, they are a truly pitiful 10-11ft tall. Everything Lizardmen is smaller than it should be: Saurus should be like 8ft, but are just under 6ft; Temple Guard are basically the same size, when they should be even bigger at 9-10ft; Oldbloods like Kroq-Gar should be even a little taller than that at around 11ft but are barely over 7ft; Gor-Rok should be like 50% bigger than a Temple Guard at 13-15ft, but is less than 9ft; Dread Saurians should be the height of city walls, not the height of regular Giants. And as for Kroxigors. If they are massive, bipedal saltwater crocodiles, they ought to be (in order to be taller than Gor-Rok, which they should be) at least 15-16ft tall and weigh between 2 and 3 tonnes. And Nakai should essentially be a bipedal Deinosuchus, and be well over 20ft tall. Instead, Kroxigors are around 10ft like most other monstrous infantry, and Nakai is barely larger than Grimgor.

I legit love Vivaldi's Winter. Well used in the video, imo. I've loved the "Idea" of kroxigors ever since I first saw them but have never stacked them like this before. This video was enlightening lol. Great video fam

The only way that waterfall could turn into a creek is if the waterfall immediately falls into a cave system but lets some water splash out into the creek. It also would have to be a fairly new waterfall since the water would just cut through the ground to all go into the cave.

It's less about playing extremely well and more about making as few mistakes as possible. Just taking the absolute minimum number of unfavorable fights and using every resource at my disposal is the real trick to it. After ~15 turns of that, you're *far* stronger than the AI due to your levels, unit ranks, economy, etc, improving faster than theirs.

Im do glad i used the sfo mod cause vanilla nakai is just..so so painful.

2:40 one issue I’ve seemed to have with breaking down gates with larger units is that they often get stuck trying to attack the gate without being able to actually attack it so they all just sit there and try to walk towards the gate. Adding more units just ends up making it worse.

AdditionalStupidity, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

Nakai's game mechanics are so bad because the devs wandered away from his faction in favour of more chaos

Kroxigars are definitely one of the monstrous infantry units that were intended fight inside of your regular infantry. Alot of units work best when you charge them through your own troops instead of trying to flank.

would be fun to do a kroxigor and skink thing as in lore they are best friends. I really do hope Lizardmen gets a mechanic update at one point esspetially Nakai.

Our brain boy strikes again! Huzzah!

So once I picked up WH3 my first big campaign was as Nakia, honestly loved it. Much better then in WH2 when it came to tech tree and growing your forces.Trick is to just keep your armies next to Nakai or who ever you spawn them in on, transfer units as needed and build up while fighting. And then you take over the world.

Every lizardman lord and hero eventually causes fear or terror, they get high leadership, items like armor of destiny provide better buffs, and dont remove leadership. Hide of the cold ones needs to be better or a green tier item, or white

Its funny that this was a 'challenge' because last week I played Nakai and steamrolled everyone and thought it was actually supposed to be broken

Epidemus Plaguebearer Only sounds like hell. Hope to see it :3

Average fighting against skaven experience: That is a bad idea. I take that back, you have more armies than I thought, maybe that is the right move for you. That is a fourth army. Okay, we have a problem here. Or do we? We don't.

Oh, btw, don't forget the emphasis Cathay places on balloons, that's how they get to those isolated buildings and hanging sky watchposts, they get delivered by balloon and, aside from flying enemies, or enemies with projectiles, or magic, or magic projectiles, or the ability to climb...other than those, they are safe from attack.

I felt the frustration with them going through the gate on a primal level

Apparently they are going to be (somewhat) fixing gate pathing, so thats nice

I felt your pain with the gate pathing.

The crocodile brain was a bad choice. It proves that the old one's that made the lizardmen were incompetent.

Krox should be one of the best monstrous infantry in the game, instead they are somehow worse than rat ogres.
