You know, I hadn't really thought about this but you are right. It wasn't until Myth 2 that I started wanting to kill the peasants.

Bre'Unor aren't so bad in their context.

You mean in the context of a shitty level?



Just yanking your chain... maybe I'm irrational but I could never stand either that level, or The Ibis Crown. They felt like boring filler to me and I still don't know why, when taking into account I didn't have any problem playing the rest of the M2 campaign.

Through the Ermine has no substance. You fight six or seven identical groups of enemies and then call it a day. The only "point" to the level is the new enemies, and I didn't like them enough for it to be worthwhile. Something more interesting could have been done with that slot in the campaign.

Coming of the Dark used the Bre'Unor pretty well though, i think.

Well, I have to say that my new plug (which will be released veeery soon by the way ) uses almost all of M2 units, so Unors are among them. But... in my plug they're cool

I went with Ghasts. While Mauls and Mykridian Giants had a little bit of a 'tacked on' feel about them - they at least brought something to the game, even if it was only minor.

Ghasts, though, were just shite. They featured in how many solo levels? (I want to say one, but maybe 2-3 is closer, it's been a few years) They were weak, had a paralyzing attack that wasn't particularly devestating, and just looked lame.

I'd have enjoyed the first level more if it had been Thrall menacing the populace. I don't see why they had to be lame adolescent wights.

I voted for mykridian giants. I think ghasts and mauls had their flaws, but myrkridian giants seem to me like a perfect storm of lazyness and the need for a new giant unit.

I think the same, they look like dorks

I'd say bre'unor. They're thrown in "just cause" - they don't fit into any grand story - except "oooh we're camped and there's weird monsters around".

bre unor are tacked on, true, but they have the merit of being tacticaly interesting. they were used in a boring filler level, but the units themselves have the potential to be cool. they just need to be well used

For pure "most ridiculous monster", I hate myrk giants because they are such slacker monsters. Seriously - all they do is walk around avoiding confrontation and instead of learning hand to hand combat (which they should rule at given how good the normal myrks are) or finding something to use as a weapon what do they do when they want to attack someone? They just reach into their diapers and pull out a handful of their fesces and throw it at their enemies. That is SO lame AND lazy.

But Ghasts are close behind in the lameness (most ridiculous) pool. If they ate brains or something cool like that I could respect them, but those little paralyzing farts are just stupid.

Bre-nor would have been cool if they threw boomerangs and talked with an australian accent, but they are passable as is.

In the category of "Which monster is the most ridiculous because it doesn't fit into the overall campaign?" I would say it's a tie between Myrkridian Giants, Mahir, Ghasts, AND Mauls.

I actually liked Mahir. An ancient, shadowy evil is certainly the kind of thing I can see being summoned to act as a kind of personal bodyguard/elite assassin style unit by an unspeakable evil such as Balor or Soulblighter.

My only real gripe was that they weren't mentioned at all anyplace else. A shadow that can steal the life out of something really is the kind of thing I'd imagine Balor/SB would be using to sew terror into enemy ranks with midnight assassinations of high ranking figures etc.

This is a good point...are they really mentioned anywhere? They just sort of...show up.
