Post One Man Armies

[Erlkönig]

I have to make this, after the crazy ♥♥♥♥ that happened in my last game. I was testing Necromancer out, and I decided to do the Vampire ritual. It was super expensive and at first the 120 hands of glory didn't seem worthwhile to me.

...That lasted until I got a bunch of magic items together on him. Now I have an abomination with over 200 kills on its pocket.

Seriously, this thing has soloed:
-An entire Dwarven mine with almost 100 dwarves
-An entire army of Trolls and Hill Giants
-A mage-reinforced army from the Baron, including a Black Sorceress that had at least six different casts of Disintegrate be negated by the Displacement effect.

Needless to say, this is probably the funniest time I've ever had with a CoE game. What other bs do you guys think is possible?

EDIT: The dwarven mine battle report in question:

Yeah vampires, especially if you have a Drain Life spell on top of their innate lifedrain attack are very tough to kill, add a mass summoning spell like Army of the Dead on top of that and you got yourself a nuke. Be careful of Banish though.

Still, the most bs you can do as a necromancer is popping into Hades and Planar Swapping on a tile, that has an enemy army in Elysium.

Still not perfect as he needs adjustments on items but pretty strong.

Edit: This one was the reason, why I suggested the Legacy idea as it would be crazy to meet this one as a legacy/boss on a new map.

once had a fully upgraded dwarven runesmith kill 3 goblins by himself.

Vampires, Liches, Demi-Liches, Wraith-Lords, and Wraith Kings are all necromancer units that make excellent 1 man super combatants.

All have immortality and spells that drain life. those are the keys for a great 1 man army

Kuro Oni from Bakemono can very reasonably and reliably beat quite a few armies on its' own. It has got its' limits, but it's quite reliable due to its' ability to cast as much global magic per turn as it can (Blizzard, Black Death, etc).

Seraph for Voice of El is on this level as well, although it also has upper limits, it can become ever more scarier due to the blessings growing and growing. The downside is that it's also blindingly stupid and so will just sorta...wander aimlessly.

I personally talk down the Demonic Lords from Demonologist, don't like them as much as the Demonic Lieutenants, but that's mostly a cost thing, if you're just wanting raw power, they do have that, I just feel you could do better getting 3 max-sacrifice lieutenants then one Lord.

Creeping Doom from Witch has some rules in its' text that make it functionally this, although I'll be the first to admit that it's...well.....It has its' unreliability due to its' dependence on poison damage, which a lot of things are immune to. The other downside is that it's...well....not an army leader, so if you're going to exploit this you need a sacrificial lamb.

Lammashta, a T2 summon for High Priestess, has non-Magical Invulnerability as well, and so will win many fights against 'infinite' units, although being significantly DPS-Slower then the Creeping doom, it'll end up pushing most fights into fatigue and so just sorta....die helpless to the timer if you try to 1 Lammashta v Baron. The other downside is the same as Creeping Doom, not a leader, so it'd need a sacrificial lamb.

Basically anything with Immortality becomes a 'safe' one man army, if you can sacrifice it infinitely, it can usually do something to enemy armies without losing anything personally. Typically the more impressive ones tend to be immortal casters, such as Liches, Vampires, or Bakemono Kunshus. But there are other exemplars, like the Phoenixes, which can kamikaze in and just erase a chunk of the front line of the enemy army, bit by bit.

I just attacked a big monster in a lair that summoned more monsters each turn. There were over 400 monsters in the lair by the time I attacked it because the big monster summoned more each turn. My army was 6 witches with all the charm spells equipped. I won with no losses and charmed the big monster, which is making more monsters still.

Basically, a witch with all the charm spells equipped is essentially a one woman army.

Chameon how do you get Kuro Oni? I am doing a Bakemono campaign now but not seen it. Is it a random summon the sorceror does? Do you know the spell name?

It's the T3 summon, Summon King, you either get a Dai Tengu with a buuuunch of Tengu, or a Dai Oni with a few Aka Oni. I'll admit I mixed up Kuro and Dai Oni when I went back to doublecheck. Dai Oni are the ones that are varitable one-man Armies. Kuro Onis are definitely competent leaders (Being gotten from T2 summon Oni), but nowhere near the same level as Dai Onis

I've gotten 3 Dai Onis and 2 Dai Tengus but no Kuro Oni yet. I guess I need to keep pumping out the summon king spells. I got good blood income so hopefully it doesn't take long.

Kuro are T2 greater oni summons, and are worse then Dai Oni, although again, perfectly competent leaders. It was my mixup. My b!

No pics sadly but this was in CoE4 I had a Baron who was almost unkillable because he was stacked with magical items. He had regen,ethereal, etc Dude was the most badass Human Commander I've ever had. Sadly he eventually died after going up against Greater Demons(YES Multiple Greater Demons) during my war against Inferno when they invaded.

Well I just finished my game, and this Vampire Count ended up having 700 kills at the end. Undefeated and unconquered.

I really got lucky with those magic items. I mourn the loss of this game, for I shall never see his like again. Rest in peace, ultimate warrior.

I put a scourge lord basilisk on a wall and watched it shotgun blast an entire army's melee units by itself before their ranged finally got within range to kill it.
