    I wonder if the Hierotitan would be a better unit if it received a minor ranged attack where he blasts enemies with his eye lasers, not damaging enough to be his main mode of attack, but enough to force the enemy to engage, retreat, or suffer.

    I might by every so slightly biased, but Tomb Kings are just the coolest race in the entire setting. And the Hierotitan still gives me a raging skeleton boner every time i see it.
    Almost a shame they released near complete so we likely wont ever see Apophas or the Khemric titan.

      ​@Spook Skellington You are right that they did release with a pretty full roster. I hope we will still get some of the more obscure units like the Khemrian Titan, as well as characters/heros. Plus it would be nice to get some type of liche priest generic lord option.

      If they go for a 4 lord pack they could give each undead faction a lord and nagash himself as the 4th.
      then adding one or two units per lord (the titan for TK).
      Only issue is that lots of people would prefer to see nagash as a fully standalone thing so idk

    Would you ever consider doing a deep dive video on your favorite mods? Your battles always look so crisp and clean and I have the same hardware as you and play at 1440p. Can't tell which lighting mods you may or may not use, animation mods, etc.
    I know you pin them in your vids description when you post replays featuring specific mods, but maybe a video reviewing like your top favorites or something and how they change vanilla. Especially anything that makes battle AI smarter so my campaigns retain some challenge after turn 50 haha

    • @milkandcookiesTW
      @milkandcookiesTW  Рік тому +5

      I dont know if there's even such a thing as battle AI modding. lots of mods for making them behave differently on the campaign map I think, but not sure about battle. I generally dont use visual mods for replays, the only thing I have occasionally is Ultimate Lighting 2.0 by Mazisky. I do get that kind of comment a lot from people asking why my game looks so good. Dont really know what to say lol, not doing anything special. Its just mostly Ultra settings on 1440p, with good render settings that cut down on the artifacting and blurring on UA-cam. but those dont make the game itself look any better, thats just post process stuff

    Alas, the Titan seems to be in much the same place as the Necrosphinx... in that, both units _LOOK_ insanely cool; however, both are prohibitively expensive, yet rarely - if _ever_ - seem to pay for themselves... truly makes me feel rather sad for my favourite skelly bois..!

  • @howitzer551
    @howitzer551 Рік тому +2

    You know most monstrous cavalry falls somewhere between 66 and 75 movement speed, while most giant type units are 32 to 39. I don't understand why that can't be a little higher, most of the heaviest infantry in the game is 28 or 30. Also, it just looks weird because even being big slow creatures, the giant's stride alone should make them out pace more units. This isn't a special effects shot, you don't have to slow the large creature down to emphasize the size we can zoom out and literally see how big they are compared to people (in the Warhammer world).

    • @drafezard7315
      @drafezard7315 Рік тому

      At least make them as fast as trolls, they can still walk more slowly but as you said take wider steps to make up for it.
      Edit: Just did some checking and interestingly enough the Terracotta Sentinel has 48 speed (Trolls have 54 ). If the other giant type units were buffed accordingly that would be a good start.

    Indy I think you were brave to even put up Tomb Kings against Skaven. Air support might have been better although Carrion would likely be shot out of the sky by the Ratling guns. As a Vampire Count player I use a combo of cheap Bats (as cover), a vampiress on a hellsteed with summon undead to fly across and summon zombies in the units. If the bats have survived send them in as well. The rest is dealer's choice but as you would well know Undead have to disrupt missile troops and artillery asap before they massacre your expensive units. Brave move to pick the big guy but he did hold out longer than most of your army. But the guns screwed so many units allowing his units to control the field. Still, as always, a fascinating game.

    Really hope when the TK gets their dlc they do something for the Hierotitan, then again they never did much for giants. Wonder what they do for the Khemric Titan. I would still like the Scorps to have stalk at the start of a battle till they move or replace the ushapti summon with them having it burrow out of the ground like this mod cause there is nothing to simulator the burrowing other than the vanguard

  • @mariojorge68
    @mariojorge68 Рік тому +1

    It's such a shame that the Hierotitan never received enough compensation in vanilla, even compared with other giants who now have some niche use. Not saying the Skaven would lose if the TK player brought something else, since both players seemed evenly matched in terms of skill, but bringing the Hierotitan almost certainly guaranteed a defeat.
    Do you think giving it more Splash Damage and specializing him in big time AP anti-infantry clearing would at least give him a function? If he could obliterate infantry formations that would at least give him a function and best-case-scenario usage that he lacks now.

      I mean the Khemrian Warsphinx already covers that role (Tomb scorpion too)
      If it was Anti Large it would be against the Necrosphinx
      The best way to make it better in MP would be to make it cheaper (and be like the giant who's ok in MP because it's a good duellist for its price) and give it a better spell kit/more utility (like a mortis engine for example or a heal aura). Or else go the Terracota route and make it a decently fast generalist

    there should be some sort of inverted diminishing returns mechanism for big entities where the higher the base weapong strength, the less they mitigate it, i.e. small firearms bows etc would start with a 50-60% dmg reduction where cannon balls etc would do full damage. cos it really pains me to see that massed rattling guns or even archers etc melt down a hierotitan when it just does not make any sense
    more realistic, and would help balance wise as well
    cos comes a point where you're so big and sturdy where being hit by one boulder weighing 1000 kgs does not feel the same as being hit 1000 times by 1 kg stones, if you see what i mean...

    I think the Heirotitan was definitely a mistake. Ushabti Greatbows might have a better pick as their ranged attacks would’ve done well against the Ratling guns. Although at the same time Warplock Jezzails might have made for an interesting sniper duel. I never bring large single entities when going against the Skaven because their ranged units are just ridiculous.

    @BloodyBobJr Рік тому

    Hierotitan is the coolest unit, but nearly never performs well which is a shame. It needs missile resist like giant buffs got.. and probably way more splash damage to fight hordes. It's so slow that any monster or cav unit can just run away from it. So unless you mess up and give fights to it, it tends to just walk around and not do anything. Other 2 monster constructs have like 60-70 speed so can at least keep up with many monsters
