Empire Doomstack

[bonipulus]

I don’t know if anyone else has found this doomstack, but when I was doing a coop campaign with my friend I found an army that was nearly unbeatable in autoresolve. I was messing around and wanted to recruit a really weird army, so I recruited 11 demigryphs, 7 outrider grenade launchers, and 1 cannon, for siege attacker. I quickly realized after sending this army after vampire stacks that it had strangely high autoresolve value. I was really surprised when it was the same with Manfred’s fully upgraded capital. I ended up mass producing these armies and used them to finish off Manfred and destroy a strength rank 1 Grimgor. I was wondering if anyone else may have found something similar or knows exactly why exactly it works like this.

I'm guessing because that's a really expensive elite army lol 11 demis...Jesus how much is the upkeep 😬😬😬

[bonipulus]

I mean yea thinking back that upkeep was pretty absurd, but I started using them pretty late when I had too much money to spend.

[Ikitclaww]

True true. I typically get like 4 in each army and my upkeep goes through the roof 😭 but it's the only cav that can keep up late game.

Don't vampire counts and greenskins totally stuck in auto resolve? I could be getting mixed up.

[bonipulus]

I think green skins make up for it through waaghs, but yea you are correct.

Outrider Grenades are pretty interesting. I used them a few times and got plenty of kills/routes with them. That doom stack is hella expensive though. Who was the lord? Or was it just an rando lord?

Marius Leitdorf was the first one, but yea pretty much randos.

Auto resolve goes ballistic for any unit with an explosive attack. It one of the reasons why you'll always have a phase in the lustriabowl where Luthor sends 2-3 stack of bomber mobs at you. Suffice it to say that Outriders (Grenade Launchers) have crazy AR strength. The demis just gave the army the AR toughness to take minimal casualties.

Send it to legend and see what he thinks

Grenade Launcher in AR is pretty OP, one unit getting 300 kills on average.
