I'm aware that some teams really shine when they are around a certain team value range, such as needing a few skills before they start kicking rear end, or hitting critical mass early and can't keep up with other teams at higher team values.

Do the Necromantic, Lizardmen, and Khorne teams have such Team Value issues?

Dead apothecary'd into Dead and turned into a zombie, multiple players killed after that, an Elf team left crippled and almost guaranteed to be benched forever. Necromantic vengeance is a sight to behold. We are officially playing Blood Bowl. :allears:

For the love of god, +Movement Allowance. You can get a normal skill the next time he levels up, which will be soon thanks to that MVP, but there's no guarantee you'll get +MA again. MacGruff getting faster means that close to no-one will be able to outrun the long arm of the law undead justice.

Good half, exactly what I expected from Orcs, and you managed some nice plays as well. :orks101:

The way Humans and Orcs were described to me, they're the archetypal teams in Blood Bowl, with Humans built around ball-handling and Orcs built around punching. After that, the other teams branch off from them, having different emphasis on certain aspects or gimmicks. And then you get Goblin teams.

Beefslab really should get Block, it's going to make him ridiculous to deal with. The Ghoul definitely should be a Blodge ghoul, make him that much harder to get the ball from when he's making the touchdown run and can't get assistance. Then you give him Sidestep and every time a block is whiffed, he just gets closer to scoring range.

For the werewolf's name, since there's MacGruff, there should be another fighting-for-justice dog, maybe. :v:

More Ghouls, then you'll finally have an actual Necromantic team. And since there's one Blodge Ghoul now, the other one can easily be the Funhaver Ghoul.

Really Stupid and Bonehead are big reasons why I don't like to play teams which depend on players with those negatraits. At least if Wild Animal triggers, the player still has active tacklezones.

You really should sack FrankenCastle the next time an opponent's player is killed and zombified, it's ridiculous how he keeps finding excuses to sit out drives.

Good first half for Agent's team though, nice chunk of SPP going to the troll. I remember it being mentioned that it's generally not a good idea to get too many level-ups on the regular Goblins; I'm guessing it's because of how fragile they are?

:golfclap: A good goblin match.

Dodge so the Wight's tough to knock down and can make sick blitzes through lines into cages, and don't fire Pelvis; not only is it a waste of a good name, no player should be sacked without good reason (like FrankenCastle). Let Nuffle sort it out. Also you might end up with one of those players with tons of injuries that just keeps on going. It's endearing.

Also Bloods MacKenzie for a ghoul name.

Keep the Flesh Prince, pulling off the Cholo Lean is worth at least one free pass. Get Guard for Dr. Wight, it's a useful skill. And save for a new Wolf, those guys are the backbone of the team.

Well that sure sucks for Wolf Blitzer. Still, a niggle isn't enough to kick you off of the team, but a loss in movement on a high-movement player's definitely enough.

Buy a new Flesh Golem, next purchase should be a Ghoul. The team has two Werewolves and the other ghoul is Santos. That said, keep Ra's Al as a lineman until there's enough cash for a replacement.

Also give FrankenCastle +MA for the fabled fast-zombie strat.

I wanna say Option 2. Why? Because I am learning so much about Blood Bowl from these videos. I may not be the most avid player but I love learning about the little tricks, the skill combos and that sort of thing. However I understand Fairly Elected is starting to come to that point where we are either going to be moving veeery slowly into new strategies as our older players leave and we get new players/skill sets or we will be rehashing the past.

This is why I would like to follow the peoples before me suggestions and say that you take the break as per Option 2 over the Christmas/New Years/Holiday break and come back with a NEW team of a different race and teach us all about them too.

Seriously this is my favorite LP on SA, please don't let it die without a fight.


The best thing you can do at this point, after following a Blood Bowl LP, is playing Blood Bowl. The Christmas Sale on Steam is going to start in a matter of days, so you can get Chaos Edition cheap.

Or maybe check out cKnoor on youtube, he's a duder on these forums who streams Blood Bowl every week and his youtube channel has hundreds of Blood Bowl videos in playlists for specific teams.
