Epidemius vs Kugath

[Mr.Dark]

who has the worse start? get steammrolled by Malus or the slug vs slug fest of the undead and rot

[Isaac]

epidemius is bugged right now (all of nurgle is right now) with how he can get the negative effects of plagues on his army, and malus is a really dangerous early enemy.
epidemius has it worse.

Kugath can give heal cap plague making blue rose a joke

When u know how its done, malus is dead round 3

Never get the negative effect on my own army. Tested it many time. First 20 Round many times to get the best outcome of epidemus

If you want to play as Epidemius, you start pretty close to him with Tamurkhan and you can just confederate him. Kugath is a fair bit farther from his brothers

[panzertek CS-BL.com]

Kugarth new landmark makes him easy plus he has access to 2 other landmarks (bloat flies and plaguebearers). If you need to confederate the other lords just wait for a cult. He doesn't have easy heroes like Tarmukhan but he seems to be better for nurgle as whole.

[Mr.Dark]

I wish Epidemius had a better start, annoying asf especially since daemon units feel very weak for some reason

[Ares]

Epidemius has the worst start, but not because of Malus. The Dragon Isles is just one of the absolute best provinces in the game.

Never had that on any of the 3. I'm also using like 25 mods.

Played Epidemius to 150 turns the plague lists negative effects from Epi's faction ability but doesn't seem to apply them. I haven't played Kugath yet with the update but Epi was way easier than pre-update Kugath,

As Epi I just headed east until I killed Daniel then west for Malus got 3 provinces in the waste lands and went south with NAPs securing my borders

literally just lost against Malus when his army is half strength and mine is full.... Malus is op and Epidemius just sucks early

[Andartan]

Playing Epidemius rn and basically don't see any real resistance. I think Kugath has worse start

Malus by himself can almost wipe a nurgle army, let alone if he has decent units

I don't know what to tell you he is beatable i did it, maybe your army comp wasn't good enough or you waited too long, I did not stop moving and attacking unless i had to after a major battle, once the east was clear i headed back recruiting(you can spend infection to rush troops). In the battle I waited till he changed and then used all my exalted plague bearers ammo on him, i didn't allow them to just fire it at anyone and kept them in the back waiting for the change.

When fighting lords that are stronger than yours, the easiest and most reliable way to beat them is to rout them with army losses. You can kill his army while whatever unit he wants to fight just runs away from him. If he doesn't take that much damage, he won't transform. And once his army is heavily damaged, he'll run away. If you can't beat his army, then that's another problem entirely.

I also defeated him right away, was hard, he was not very interested is going down, but the rest of his army did easily, then it was just cycling units in and out and reducing his attack by 24 over and over again with magic, until eventually he fell.

Then did the same thing again on his settlement, and he was wiped out.
