There are two ways to play Tyrion. As the great uniter of Ulthuan, the true king of the Elves who shuns the influences of the Chaos Gods to bring about a new age of peace and enlightenment. Or the correct way.
Siliuse the ai was super good at the correct way before major factions got their auto resolve bonus removed. Can‘t remember a single campaign where they didn‘t rise to strength rank 1 in like 20 turns...
The only way to play TWW as a "uniter" is to be AI and get insane buffs to your ability to confederate. Otherwise you pretty much have to hand over your firstborn just to get a faction to admit "Oh, yeah, I guess you kind of are our supreme liege already."
There are only two things i'm sure of. 1: I am sure that I am a peaceful, loving and friendly person. 2: I cannot say that for other people. Therefore by combining 1 with 2, if I wipe out everyone else, i would have made the world a more peaceful, loving and friendly place. Logic of the elves.

Your vids are my favourite thing on CZcams, and i watch all of them at least few times a month. Love your work, keep it coming even if you need to take your sweet time doing so. Thank you for it, it is awesome
Being a high elf myself, I clearly need to get this game so I can enlighten even more heretics and culturally-enrich more lesser civilizations. Violently.

All I understand is he's stacking the Weapon Strength stat as hard as he can which determines damage dealt on hit, allowing him to instakill anything. And since it's on a hero character I'm going to assume he has a good amount of Melee Attack to boot which decides how often he's going to hit so every time he swings something *dies*
He’s turned Tyrion into the Avatar of a living God of Murder (Khaine) and obliterated everything in his path using him as a one man tank to mop up armies. And it’s hilarious.

These are some of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time!! I've played total war games for nearly 12 years and I burst out laughing during the 2nd western rome video
Honestly, I played it, and once you get the hang of it, it isn't impossible. With some cheeky thinking, you can actually quell rebellions quite easily, and while yes, it is at the cost of your towns, once you deal with the beginning wave of rebellions, it ain't too terrible. Once you get the buildings for Comitatenses, you pretty much win skirmishes and fights, unless you are really outnumbered.
@RexXflash yup. But if you destroy military infrastructure, it's gonna be a bunch of peasants. Costs you quite a bit of money, but definitely less than if you lost the town altogether.

Usually I land near Border Prince, go east, destroying human and dwarves, kill her, go west, destory half of the Empire, burn Altdorf, burn it twice if I decided to do a round trip around Empire., then kill King of Bretonnia if he show up near northern coast.
BTW Elven invasion destroyed more city than Chaos invasion, orc usually take over the old world after I loot it clean.
Vlad's right for wanting that booty
Shame everyone else gets more out of his wife than he does.
@@Verpal what does this deadly expedition doomstack look like?
@@darkmasterchief227 Been a while, if I remember correctly it is many archer, many many archer and some spearman.
The rest of the world is playing Total War while Tyrion is over here playing Path of Exile
Beginning of video: “wow, what peaceful high elven landscapes”
Tyrion declares war on everyone and starts slaughtering everything while wielding the sword of khaine: “o h f u c k”
Tyrion: *wields Sword of Khaine*
Sunfang: am I a joke to you?
Well done you explained the joke
Neb
Basically what happened when Aenarion did it 🤣
WRE: "Our onagers are the most OP siege weapons in TW history"
High Elves: "Hold my questionable sexuality and watch this"
Did they get nerfed? I rarely get over 100 kills with them, and it takes ~70% of one bolt thrower's ammo just to destroy one tower. Going from playing Empire and Dwarfs to high elves was quite the transition.
It's the dark elves who have questionable sexuality
@@ingold1470 multishot ammo is the key, tons of damage to towers I find
@@amandag.6186 No they don't. Their sexuality is pretty set as "yes"

Who would win?
1014 immortal elven veteran warriors who have fought wars for thousands of years.
or
The same exact thing but he's only 1 dude and has a shiny stick instead of 1013 allies.
that moment when you make malakith have to take a step back and just say "yooo thats enough"
>every video with High Elves in it
>"have you heard of the High Elves?"
Meme aside, I'm really just here to appreciate Yrridan's keen grasp of rhythm, beats, and how it's applied to a refined appreciation of classical music.
I have lost count on how many times I have watched your videos. Usually when I subscribe to someone I watch each video once, maybe twice. You have somehow managed to create something so outstanding that whenever I don't know what to do with my life I can come back to. Thank you.
Oh, look, a new vid from our modern Sun Tzu! What a day to be alive!
Now this is the type of quality content which I subscribed for
Came here to legitimately learn how to play elves. And I think i got what I wanted?
Yes yes you did
High elfs watching Tyrion solo multiple army's, " Are we the baddies"?
A new video from Yrridian we are blessed, thank you for the cheese
“No, you can’t just take the sword of Khaine! It will corrupt you, everyone will die!”
Tyrion: “Hehe, shiny sword go swoosh swish!”
After more than 200 hours in Warhammer, I finally had my first playthrough as an Elf, and I was truly impressed how beautiful their starting area is. It does feel like this special protected magical place surrounded by chaos.
Tyrion is like: rip and tear until it is done
Glad to see you uploading (semi) regularly now
Tears of joy when I see another "how to play..." released. The rarest and most precious gems among TW content.
"How to play the High Elves." What a misleading title, I clicked and all I saw was a video showing me a Tyrion simulator.
That's how you play high elves, playing Tyrion Simulator
And you were not dissapointed
Your vids are my favourite thing on CZcams, and i watch all of them at least few times a month. Love your work, keep it coming even if you need to take your sweet time doing so. Thank you for it, it is awesome
Next : How to play the skavens with 972 battalions of slaves? :p
Edit : *WAIT ONLY 150 TURNS FOR WINNING*
did you mean 19 plagueclaw catapults?)
@@Grivehn Queek will kill-kill the smaller rat and take all his fancy bomb-murder things for himself, yes-yes.
@@Kalenz1234 *laughs in dr strangeclaw*
What was that? I can't hear the lot of you over my Rattling Gunners and Warp-Rockets
Laughing in 19 Doomwheels... :D
Cant believe he destroyed his wife's faction instead of Confederating it XD TRUE TACTICAL GENIUS!!!!
I don't blame him i did the same thing
@Neb
Not canon. F.U.C.K. Games Workshop. it's like Malekith wrote a fanfic
The amount of effort put into this is amazing
I revisit this every now and then and the 150 turn Long Victory still gets me every time. Damn
Being a high elf myself, I clearly need to get this game so I can enlighten even more heretics and culturally-enrich more lesser civilizations.
Violently.
Ahh, mass genocide and havoc - truly an elven way. Thanks for your content, great as always)
Regardless which skill path you take. You will be remembered as the great unifier of Ulthuan ;)
My D&D players would agree to that. Elven nazis.
@@cruzwindu777deffsff4😎 humans are a virus
I BEG YOU, DROP MORE VIDEOS, I AM IN SERIOUS NEED OF THESE, THEY MIGHT BE THE VERY BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!
I genuinely do not recall the last time I was this entertained by a video. Amazing work, good sir.
Thumbs up before video starts because I just know its gonna be golden!
I love the look of the Dark Elf when he sees the 6 enemy dragons lol.
Wilhelm Tell Suite makes everything awesome and dynamic doesnt it? truely a timeless piece of musical brilliance
Your videos are amazing. There's a ton of great Total War content on CZcams, and yours is truly unique and hilarious. You've definiitely got your own style, and it's awesome. Keep on doing it for as long as it makes you happy, guy.
I have no idea what's going on on the account I've never played this game, I just know that I'm loving every second of it!
All I understand is he's stacking the Weapon Strength stat as hard as he can which determines damage dealt on hit, allowing him to instakill anything. And since it's on a hero character I'm going to assume he has a good amount of Melee Attack to boot which decides how often he's going to hit so every time he swings something *dies*
He’s turned Tyrion into the Avatar of a living God of Murder (Khaine) and obliterated everything in his path using him as a one man tank to mop up armies. And it’s hilarious.
@@qwertyzxcvbn6929 basically there's this sword in the game once you capture a place that makes you uberpowerful but had loads of negative buffs for your empire. Any sain player would drop the sword when it grows in strength.
Tyrion. That elf guy he's using. Is the absolute most powerful lord in this game. He basically made him more op.
@@owellwellwell2418 Bitch slapping an enemy lord in the opening clash is pretty worth it I think.
how to elf:
-act like an orc
-profit
Content makers like you are the best advertisers for a game
I don't think I could live with myself after doing this, so props to you on the whole surviving thing.
damm I really appreciate the amount of editing time you have put in for this video its really hard im shure but honestly I really love it if you can make for other factions too lol thanks for the fun video and music both lizardmen and high elfs is awesome
Dark Elves are gonna be 'Crawling in my Skin' I just know it.
Your warhammer II videos are so much quality time compressed into such short creations. I must say it's amazing. But also that this is way not enough to satisfy me thirst for such great works. Please produce some more and entertain us! Subbed for life.
First Warhammer 2 game, high elves. I learned quickly that you never have enough lothern sea guards
Wait, I still don't understand.
How do I play if I can't recruit Skink Priests?
Elves have heavens mages too is the scary part
You can't = You don't. :D
*Have you heard of the High elves?*
I've heard others say the same.
Be seeing you
These videos are awesome! Please keep them coming, I'd love to see many more!
Please make more of these, i can say with confidence these are the funniest total war warhammer videos ive ever watched.
Sooo tl;dr: Have Tyrion go apeshit with the sword while spamming bolt throwers and dragons. Got it
Well done on completing the long campaign. The only time I finished a campaign was back in TWWH1 when it first launched with chaos for the short campaign. Every other campaign ends when I establish my unbeatable power base at around turn 150 - 200.
I need more of this Fabulosity in my life my man keep it comming at yer own pace good sir.
These are some of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time!! I've played total war games for nearly 12 years and I burst out laughing during the 2nd western rome video
I dare you to play Barbarian Invasion as the Western Roman Empire on the hardest difficulty.I DARE YOU
He won't. Attilla scared him, no way he takes on the real west Rome challenge.
Honestly, I played it, and once you get the hang of it, it isn't impossible. With some cheeky thinking, you can actually quell rebellions quite easily, and while yes, it is at the cost of your towns, once you deal with the beginning wave of rebellions, it ain't too terrible. Once you get the buildings for Comitatenses, you pretty much win skirmishes and fights, unless you are really outnumbered.
@RexXflash yup. But if you destroy military infrastructure, it's gonna be a bunch of peasants. Costs you quite a bit of money, but definitely less than if you lost the town altogether.
@@danielkrejcar9104 No campaign is impossible, though I've yet to play it. I got Atilla, but never tried it. I'm a challenge-seeker, and have currently played and am playing through several campaigns on Legendary, so far "only" in Shogun 2 and Warhammer 2. Now I must try this Barbarian Invasion.
@@danielkrejcar9104 It's not that it's impossible, its much harder than twa wre if you don't know how to deal with it though (due to how much legendary attila ai cheats that campaign is harder if you do know what you are doing). It's more that many people (myself included) have nostalgia for the game and would love to see it crush yrridians unprepared form.
Tyrion, AKA: "Why did my general just die he had full health oh god why does he have 1700 melee damage please send help."
