Maggot Lord too OP?

[Alvazia]

Is it just me or the new maggot lord is really OP? several games tested and I keep seeing Grimgor and Herald of the Tempest getting rekted by him, I even tested fighting against him killing him wasn't so easy.

He hasn't survived to turn 20 in my last 3 legendary runs

Hmm maybe he's just too OP in early game then?

[Ashaarz]

when played by the player he is indeed incredibly strong but im sure he'll be nerf a bit

[Reaver79]

He's pretty easy to take down with any kinda ranged, low armor, big target, not overly fast..

[MulticornRB]

AI performance is not a good indicator for being "OP".

Tell me something that ranged units are not good at killing though.

His ability is what make him op.

The autoresolve is definitely in his favor against his early opponents. At least his campaign though is very fun to play.

Didn't really find him strong until he got his mount and legendary skills. Huge target on mount. Easily countered with ranged

Small fast moving units. Valkia. Malagor.

I definitely think he loses against either of the dwarfs thats for sure. because of this. But the factions he fights just do not holdup in melee against him. The only one that does arguably is kholek early with his shaggoths, but that is only if you manually fight the battle. The autoresolve is still in his favor surprisingly.

Yeah that's the pattern for DLCs. New LLs tend to be uber powerful because CA is trying to give them fun new powers. After they go live and we all get a chance to play with them they tend to tone the new abilities down

Currently playing VH Malakai and I haven't spotted him, Archaeon/vassals holds all of the visible NE chaos lands and Grimgor is still alive.
He isn't doing much unless he went hard east to Cathay.
