One thing we were talking about in Discord is that hunter spiders MR was bumped up to 13 which is a huge upgrade. I'm excited to give Machaka some love this game
I watched a video of a tiger running from a bunch of dudes with sticks in india (I think they were trying to scare it away from a public pool or something) and they couldn't make contact the thing was so quick 10 defense is super low for a tiger, armored or otherwise
I like to mainly use Flagellants and give them a bunch of attack blesses, fire resistance, and death explosion. Then I spam them as they are cheap and can recruit them anywhere.
oh wow replacing ammo for fatigue with abilities buffs a lot of nations what comes to mind is EA Argartha since your ulms are going to just not run out of fatigue with those earth blesses.
They WILL sadly and quite quickly actually : It cost 5 to use mind blast and they have 4 encumbrance meaning that it cost 9 fatigue to fire one (so 7 ammunition normally ... Just realised it's a nerf from the 10 ammunition the worm had in dom 5) if you take 5 reinvigoration you get 5+1 naturally fatigue regen meaning 3 fatigue a turn since you stop using it at 50 fatigue you have 17 fire before running over the 50 fatigue threshold
I'd imagine light cav would offer better combat speed and defense bonuses to the rider as opposed to heavy cav which would be more armored and giving trample. Maybe differentiate between the two with light cav being size 2 and heavy cav being size 3 or more. Maybe we'll see Niefelheim Giants using same sized Mammoth mount or something -- that would be sick.
Now, that mind blast doesn't have an ammo limit, EA Agartha can have Olms with a 5x reinvigoration+bloodsurge bless. Too bad, that they are cave only recruits. :)
You've never fought a tiger with a sword? Well, what happened to testing this stuff, Lucid? Get down there to the zoo and let us know how it works out. :)
Now I'm wondering whether all sacred cavalry will also have sacred mounts. How would that make blesses stack? Blood surge would affect both? Or even exploding death.
@@LucidTactics Very interesting. Blood surge would have quite the return with sacred cav then. Quickness, defensive skills... heck charged bodies with shock protection. Isn't there a fire shield aura bless?
But does that effect count as making a magical weapon? Will a sacred with a vampiric bless be able to ignore ethereal ? Does it negate the 75 % penalty?
9:51 Now hol' up, doesn't Invulnerability act seperately to Protection? What would be the point of taking it if you already have Sacreds with higher or equal Prot to 10? Would be nice for priests I guess but still.
It probably best value for the first few but then the more you invest the less value you get due to levels needed more xp. But who knows it might mean you get soild troops and sicko mode thugs lol.
@@callumfinlayson-palmer8393 yeah, it could be a funny meme bless. Assuming the XP to stat scaling is the same as in 5, you could do like, 8 points into it to get a 5x bonus. That's a passive 5 XP per turn, which is up to 60xp (2 stars) in 12 turns, and that doesn't take expansion into account, where that 4XP for winning a battle becomes 20.
@@callumfinlayson-palmer8393 but imagine if you just went whole hog into it, dumped scales and just dropped like 18 bless points Into it for +900%. gettin 10 XP per turn, 40 per battle won lol. It'd only take 10 battles survived to reach the 5 star max.
@@sgtflintlock6904 wait does it cap out at 5 stars? If so then its not anywhere near as useful on thugs. Tho it would be amusing seeing a unit with 1 kill become super swole cus of it lol.
@@callumfinlayson-palmer8393 if it works the same as in 5, then yes it caps at 5. But each star gives +1 to attack, defense, morale precision, and research, with 3 and 5 adding +1 strength and 4 adding 2 HP and -1 encumbrance. So a total stat buff of +5 attack, +5 defense, +5 morale, +2 strength, +2 HP, and -1 encumbrance for most thugs and troops, with +5 precision and +5 research added on for mages and/or archers. So really a very nice little stat spread if you can get to it quickly and efficiently. I imagine the Champion's Skull will be very useful for wanna be Heroism thugs.
Marington is rather strong and straightforward nation with it's palladins. And Lucid is a strong player. I'd prefer Lucid would choose some other nation, and leave Marington to Das or Battlemode.

'I have never fought a tiger with a sword'. The implication I have fought a tiger, just not with a sword.
Stoked to see this collaboration from you and Das for the release. Even more stoked for all the new Dom 6 guides and content!
MA Marignon my beloved, we will burn the heretics together soon. So keen for dom 6 the wait is killing me.
That makes two of us.
MA Marignon is one my favourites, love Knight of the Chalice expansion

@kyledunn3747 gotta be careful when mixing mages with crossbows tho

Yeah that'll be an interesting change for them, looking forward to trying it out

I find that hard to believe sir

I wanna see a Gygja riding a Niefel Giant into battle. That'd be utterly horrific to deal with

Yup!
EA Ryleh too.
Heroism plus those training skulls that give exp. Bonus research for any sacred mage core and rotate the skulls to new recruits.
Interesting...
The updated hunter spite looks cool!
It's funny, someone asked me to look at that for them on a livestream on Saturday and it was still the old model. Illwinter updated that sprite today.
@@battlemode I had saw that just less than an hour before this video dropped actually haha.
This should be fun to watch!
Cat barding 🐱😹
Looking forward to this, good luck.
I'm really curious to see how the Disciples do with this bless!
I'm also now imagining fighting this build as an AI template.
Soon the wait is over, but the hype is not. Your videos are really helping coping with time
You've never fought a tiger with a sword? Well, what happened to testing this stuff, Lucid? Get down there to the zoo and let us know how it works out. :)
Where will the livestream be ?
Don't really see a problem with adding armour to some mounts if that gets the unit to function like it should
ethereal looks like its still to expensive, sad. this looks awesome cant wait till the 17th!
Now I'm wondering whether all sacred cavalry will also have sacred mounts. How would that make blesses stack? Blood surge would affect both? Or even exploding death.
Yeah for the most part sacred cav have sacred mounts... further, they act independently - i.e; 2 death explosions etc
@@LucidTactics Very interesting. Blood surge would have quite the return with sacred cav then. Quickness, defensive skills... heck charged bodies with shock protection. Isn't there a fire shield aura bless?
Would morale help push through repel checks for the animal attacks?
Yeah that’s not a bad idea
You can stack bless effects????!!!!
Is built-in multiplayer working already?
Yeah, not with mods yet, but mod support for their lobby system should be working soon.
Does Vampiric tag mean weapon is magical for purpose of hitting ethereal units?
If you are talking about the bless I think the weapon actually has to hit first before the vampiric effect applies.
But does that effect count as making a magical weapon? Will a sacred with a vampiric bless be able to ignore ethereal ? Does it negate the 75 % penalty?
@edwardzdankiewicz9068 I doubt it, I could be wrong tho

Its seperate and stacks with armor, but doesnt stack with natural protection.
I wonder how viable just *Dumping* points into Heroism to get all the XP would be.
It probably best value for the first few but then the more you invest the less value you get due to levels needed more xp. But who knows it might mean you get soild troops and sicko mode thugs lol.

Those Machaka spiders and the Sauromatian flayed Lizard riders were going to be my first experiments...so a bit of a spoiler this.
