I love arbaal the undefeated, I hate khorne but I love him. Quick PSA to give him a try!

[Code]

Nearly 50 turns into the game and I only have 3 provinces, why you ask. Not because he's weak, but because I've been off being a murder hobo and sacking settlements. I have like 130k right now. I have sword of Khaine and the supreme drip of an entire army of the cheapest chosen you've ever seen. 5 turns in and I teleport to murder Luthor Harkon sack his settlement and leave. After that I teleport to somebody else and repeat.

[Code]

Also edit, he should've been the khorne dlc happy that he isn't. But I would've actually been more then happy paying for him.

Yeah Arbaal works fantastically for playing tall in your campaign. He doesn't need territory, he can just make peace with surrounding Chaos factions then go teleporting all over the world, burning and pillaging with impunity. It's a good time.

Skarbrand is still the king of playing wide with Khorne, while Skulltaker... exists...? Yeah, not a fan of Skulltaker, he's boring, if Arbaal weren't released at the same time I might even be a bit upset about that. CA might even say "Arbaal saved Arbaals"... I'll get my coat.

Arbaal is literally the Khorne Mary Sue.

He is supposed to never lose, or becomes a Spawn, loses twice to elves, one time he even retreats.

Khorne, who never forgives anyone, just forgives him for losing.

It's even funnier when you consider how CA implemented him. When you loose a battle you can just click a button and Khorne will forgive you giving you only a minor slap on a wrist trait.

He's super easy to play, but sure, I guess he's fine for a campaign or two.

I did a campaign on L/VH, after taking your first province you can just teleport every turn to fight and spawn armies everywhere, easy full stack of Chosen and level 50 on your LL by turn 30 or earlier, while autoresolving every battle (if you pick your battles well). If you actually fight your battles, blood hosts can get work done across the map, if you refuse to like I did, they die pretty quick, as the units included in them have bad autoresolve odds.

Still weaker than Skulltaker, because his mechanic isn't as broken. Arbaal probably has the best balance of easy and fast-paced out of any campaign in the game, though. Others require manual battles, and/or get going slower than he does.

What does this have to do with the thread about him being fun to smack people with in a video game

I mean, one of the reasons people hated Nakai was that "losing one battle (early on) ended the campaign." I'm not surprised that a way around that was put in.

Skulltaker does it better.

I don't even know what to say, I don't like you for starters... :(

I find his campaign to be the best lord in the update. Also level 50 by turn 30? I thought my my level 43 by turn 43 was good. What are you doing???

I made an alliance with the Chaos Dwarfs south of me and now have access to some heavy hitting range units.

I disagree, sure he may be OP but is he as fun? From what I've seen, no it doesn't look like it. I would've been more then happy paying for arbaal.
