I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

Ragnor on a hill, using Earth's Sanctuary and Earth's Blessing. DEF 20, can only be moved by a Throw or TK?. "Yo MK2 Sorscha1, watch me, watch me!" Good times! Charger spam said otherwise when I lived that dream

Charger spam said otherwise when I lived that dream HA! Been there too!. Two PoD free Northkin Shaman clouds? Alas, spam trumps diversity a bit currently, and high DEF? Only works with Stealth!

Sadly it was before PoD existed, so no free shaman clouds.
I also lived the dream of def 20 playing into sloan, and was assassinated top of 1 with a transfer and 2 shield guards.
Def 20 is now a nightmare for me.

The post said looking forward to lock and load and then said #cidlive so it seems to me that it will be released before or at lock and load at the latest.
I am checking everyday right now. Lol

I really hope we dont have to wait until Lock n Load for the Northkin CID. We have been waiting since the start of MK3 for Trolls to get some attention, thats long enough when we are the bottom faction in the game.

A common theme my opponents say after games we've played... "Man, I thought Trolls was a bottom faction."
I have literally heard that 5-6 times.

I made that mistake recently. Hadn't had a troll player in our meta all of mark 3. I only saw the problems in trollbloods on the forums (and those do exist).
But man, the Mountain King does not mess around. You kill it in one turn, or not at all. I got rekt.
I'm hyped for Northkin. I had just grabbed the trollkin battlebox when it was announced. Now I've got Borka2 and some other goodies in anticipation of the CID.

I've gotten people to say that Doom2 is "broken", Grim1 is "oppressively good", Ragnor is "Bullshit". There's even some people who flat refuse to play my Callandra. If you're struggling with Trolls, it's not the faction.

I don't think our faction is terrible, just that we're pigeon holed into a the least variety of builds. Sure we've got some good casters with good list builds, that can wreck face. But I still feel like we're behind the curve when it comes to competitive setting. This feels like the result of our faction not having a clear defining characteristic.
On a positive note, I'm still super excited for Troll CID. Also, almost got my unit of Bushwackers done for the L&L painting competition.

Having only one playable theme makes list building a narrow chore. You basically always are taking a krielstone, an axer and some combination of mauler, earthborn, bomber and mountain king, then add in your choice of runebearer, janyssa, whelps and northkin shaman as freebies as makes sense. I'm hoping the CID will give us more options to deal with defense other than Knockdown (even defensively, Borka2 being playable is quite appealing for that). United Kriels should also help immensely with our ability to deal with infantry as we are chock full with sprays and other ways to mass kill infantry.

I'm still skeptical about United Kriels being that helpful, but I'd love to be wrong. I can't envision any Troll list without rage being viable, which means you're taking a Mountain King. I'm currently playing a Gunny POD that I'll be looking forward to modifying to a UK list.
