The Hunter & The Beast worth it?

[bepis]

so ive been intrested in this for a while cuz the lizzard faction is cool af and i guess the hunter looks cool aswell. ive seen so many negative comments about how useless the vassal state is not making any armies and whatnot, ive also heard that nakai is prone to die really early on. although i dont know how since hes still alive 100 turns into my play now aswell as hes vassal state is alive. one of the new patches might have fixed their ai or smt. i have also heard that the mechanics of the hunter faction can be pretty annoying.

is the dlc worth it?

I think it’s worth it. The hunter faction mechanics can be very annoying but it makes the game a challenge. Nakai does die off really early as I have attempted wulfhart like 6 times a he’s gone before turn 10. Were you playing vortex or ME cause I’m basing this off of vortex?

As everything, mileage will vary, sometimes he dies soon, sometimes he doesn't.

im playing vortex. the last defenders to be exact. i have yet to see hes vassal faction or himself so i think he starts a good bit away from my starting point. so does the hunters questline just not go anywhere if he dies? as i heard the final step in hes missions is to face of against the wanderer

It's a quest battle, he'll show up for it regardless.

If you only want the DLC for Nakai (Lizardmen horde) then id say no. That is mainly based on the fact that i find hordes somewhat lacking, but also on the fact that his economy really needs further fine tuning before he will be fun to play (In my humble opinion).

The hunter (Markus Wulfhart) is fun, but rather challenging. The new mechanics makes it so that you will be attacked often and penalized if you are aggressive, on the other hand you will get free units faster when being aggressive as well (He has a mechanic that gives him free units).

Everytime i play wulfart in ME, 2 faction seriously annoying. norsca and sentinel of xeti. Whenever you want to attack your first enemy faction sentinel of xeti will come from bottom attacking your main settlement. If not norscan attack you from sea. Seriously annoying af.

Empire in lustria.

LM horde faction.

Both were wins for me so I bought it.

Hordes have their disadvantages. But it has improved a lot from what beastmen and chaos got. Playing as Nakai I noticed a few oversights but it's otherwise an amazing and somewhat different experience. In ME he starts in Albion which is also a positive

Love hordes myself and empire in a random location instead of that localized spot. Deffo worth it for me.

(Bonus points that i wanted nakai up in albion in mortal empires too)

i did end up buying it and i dont think i like nakais faction to much, the vassal gives you 100 gold per town with you having to dedicate alot of towns to a faction to get 50 more per turn, is it even possible to play nakai and not pick up the increased vassal state money? not only that some random wood elf hordes just pop up out of nowhere and starts razing everything. i do like the hunter though, he has a really cool mechanic. only thing i dont like is that the buildings are locked until you have more docks n ♥♥♥♥

For nakai you can request money from vassals for big buys and your temple buff for extra income can be active pretty much constantly by mid game
