"Summon the Elector Counts! Oh wait it is turn 20 so most of them are dead." - Karl Franz, every campaign.
That is why you play as Balthasar Gelt and turn 5 rush Sylvannia. After that you lure Azhag in by turn 11 and burn Drycha before swinging to finish up Azhag. Then you rush to Festus. :D
@@wilhelmrk how do you beat Vlad so early in the campaign? He’s basically invincible to empire infantry, heroes, and crossbows. You need a mage who can cast direct damage spells, or guns or steam tanks or late game units to kill him, all of which you don’t have early on
@@RicardoSanchez-es5wl that turn 5 rush strat was only good in wh2, not sure why people think its still the go to, dont even think its possible since Vlad respawns pretty much the next turn you beat him now, just play Karl, beat the secessionists and use prestige gained (only use prestige once per turn) to improve relations with the golden order + form any pact or trade you can get with them till relations is above 240, then because of high relations you'll have enough fealty to confederate them really early, then use gelt to retake the moot (which is most likely taken by a vlad army) and fight the vampires (gelt will have another army, maybe even a third at this point, use them suicidally to beat back the vampires as you can't sustain them or dissolve them immediately depending on your economy), with khazarak one eye you should recruit an arch lector (the cheapest general) then spam out crossbow recruitment till you have 6~ units (use the recruitment edict) and have him camp in altdorf, then just wait for Khazarak to blitz through Boris' territory where he'll then suicidally sieges altdorf, just autoresolve that battle against him to wipe him out for a few turns while Karl goes North to either fight Festus or retake Boris territory for imperial authority. Just a few notes, always secure a non-aggression pact with the Vampire faction near altdorf to secure that front, and when fighting the secessionists, always loot + occupy the settlement, not sure why Legend doesnt do it, but consistently the rebel army will spawn next to altdorf, and with the arch lector in altdorf, you can autoresolve that battle and get even more money when they try siege. With gelt vs the vampires, either his army, or the other army he'll have when you confederate him will have a bunch of crossbow units, transfer them to Gelt, then use them to focus fire on Vlad if you encounter him, with crossbow fire + the captain forcing him to fight with his back turned you can kill him pretty quickly, dont bother trying to kill isabella unless she has a flying mount and flies far ahead of the army as she has effectively infinite healing just let her crumble when you beat the rest of the army. I found this works pretty consistently for me on very hard battle diff and campaign diff, but not tried it on legendary, also been pretty lucky with festus aggression early.
@@vrrdragon It's still possible in WH3, I wiped Vlad by turn 11 although for some reason Zhufbar declared war on me afterwards. Gelt's starting army, full of archers, another 2 huntsmen generals one with another 4 archers and you go straight for Schwarzhafen and hopefully you can get there before Templehof is dead. I managed it while Vlad's army was at Waldenhof so I managed to get Schwarzhafen and Drakenhof fairly easily.
@@seanbrown6796 that makes sense, to be fair I've not played too much gelt so my opinion is pretty bias to my own small experience so I could be completely wrong
didn't expect to see another campaign guide so soon after the throgg one. i'm pleasantly surprised!
The Throgg one is not performing well though...WH3 is just not hard or fun enough even more than seven months later.
@@johnpurgent4422 The Throgg video has only been out a day, don't write it off just yet.
@@johnpurgent4422 We'll see. You have to remember that it's also long form content now, so people watching the entire video is worth a lot in of itself.
This guide might need an update. I think patch 3.0 somehow made the Empire even more difficult. By turn five I had booted the empire secessionists and Middenland had been completely annihilated by Khazrak and the Black Pit Greenskins. Festus had killed Hochland by turn four and the entirety of middenheim was at 100% chaos corruption . I had to rush the attrition skill for Karl Franz just to be able to set foot in the province. It's really rough, to the point that the Empire is probably in the top five hardest starts in the game currently. Which is hilarious considering the game recommends them for new players. But yeah, definitely worth remaking this guide at this point.
And not to mention the barrow legion knocking the door. What I like to do is rushing The legion, and normally the beastmen and orcs go for altdorf which is manageble with the large garrison and a single lord. You then want to send a cheap army to get get carroburg and get middenheim back in the game. Repeat if necessary, never capture this territory since you're better off defending in reikland and having a buffer state between you and them , remember when middenland gets wiped and you bring them back theyre not at war with black pit or the beastmen, so that helps. Once you rush the legion you shoudn't have problems wiping the guys to the north. You have to be uber aggresive basically, not waste a single turn. If you're lucky like I was, me rushing the legion made marienburg significantly powerful, they even beat the black pit orcs.
@@PsychBanzergood points, you basically are using the elector counts for what they were meant for.
This type of content is exactly what ive been craving and actually makes me want to start up a new a campaign
I'm so happy you switched to this video format. Its pure educational and you don't get worn down by negative comments. I hope you're life has been affected positively by the move. I actually didn't klnow you'd started doing these but i will be watching every one.
I agree. Basically this is what I enjoyed already with the Livestreams anyway. If I wasn't able to catch one live, I would watch the replay for the first couple of hours to get some pointers and then start a campaign myself.
did he had a lot of negative comments?
@@lubu2960 buncha asshats during streams.
How does this guy even get negative comments?
Really cool that you are doing these. I'd like to see a Nurgle one, I feel he's got harder start due to his mechanics and starting near Ghorst (who can beat Nurgle in attrition warfare)
especially since nurgle can get somewhat strong iffff you can manage the start. But his tools in the beginning of the campaign are pretty limited. although, each battle for that would take forever so it would be difficult to cover any substantial amount of the campaign.
Yeah. Ghorst is a pain to deal with as Kugath.
Yeah second this.. With the mass casualties, Ghorst keeps raising high tier troops and just pins me until Greasus or Cathay declares war on them
These guides are excellent, I feel like we're entering a new Golden Age for this channel!
Fast approaching 100 factions. 2x of these a week sprinkled in with disaster battles, doomstacks etc. That's a years worth of content for the channel
Hell yeah
I feel like the autoresolve for minor settlements still thinks that the battle is fought on a minor settlement map although no walls are built. That's why the autoresolve is very punishing even on normal battle difficulty.
Maybe the minor settlement battles were kind of hardcoded into the game because it says "The enemy sallies out to fight on the field" in the loading screen for minor settlements without walls. The solution by CA for minor settlements seems to be that clicking "Fight battle" forces the garrison to sally out. Kinda weird that they had to use this workaround and weren't able to just change it to the way it worked in WH2.
Yea i think CA even acknowledged that the auto resolve is still not updated for minor settlement, so usually it is unfair
Yeah he goes on about how you could just auto this on normal when the outcomes are pretty much identical on both difficulties. Yes you can auto win that early battle on normal but you'll take a lot more casualties than fighting it manually, just like in this video. If you then continue to Grunberg, I'm fairly certain you can auto win but with huge casualties, so you're better off fighting it manually. Just like this video.
On normal I can just use standard tactics instead of running lords around at 3x speed for 10 minutes. I'm trying to play with toys here, not get sweaty
Settlement AR is a known issue according to their last patch notes, but real problem is all settlements have invisible towers that skew the AR towards defenders advantage.
There is a mod to remove those bonuses, and in my testing this is a bigger issue than it seems, because those invisible towers are not counted by the AI when they make a decision to attack, nor is the AR result shown accurate, as the casualties will be higher due to those invisible towers getting so many kills, and sometimes you can lose an AR that was showing a victory.
This is so much better without all of the chat interruptions. Great video! A really strong start that smothers the early game threats with a pillow before they get a chance to become huge pains. Seems like it will make the campaign a lot more manageable, looking forward to giving this campaign a try now.
honestly reiksguard in Karl Franz's army are legitimately powerful cavalry that can hold their own against all but the best cav of other factions, it's nice to actually have some thematic troops work in their rightful place
We don't all play on easy though
@@Bravo2zero0 xD, then you can feel that way against all melee units other than monstrous. They are good enough to make use of on VH if you micro anyway.
Hey Legend, just wanna say that I think you've struck the balance really well in terms of what I personally like to watch. This is right in the middle of livestream/let's play/20 turn guide and I'm gonna be tuning in a lot more if this is the content you'll be producing now
i love this format. it's so nice to hear all your thoughts on what you're doing instead of answering the same mouth-breather question over and over. excited for more guides like this. i vote for a future mazdamundi campaign. haven't tried his IE start but seems like it might be interesting
If you continue this for another 20 odd turns it would be much appreciated. I really like this method of play you are doing. The way you explain out your thinking is really amazing.
Grombrindal’s campaign has been an annoying one for me personally. I’ve had a few attempts and it never really goes as well as I’d like, especially in the early game against dark elf armor piercing missiles. Hope to see a guide for him at some point! Great new series man.
Cheese their ammunition
He did a recent livestream on Grombrindal. You can check it out under the Livestream tab.
@@trixzify cant on vh battle
I usually spammed Quarrelers against DE and it worked out fine, since they outrange Darkshards by quite a bit.
Loads of people swear by Quarrelers vs Darkshards but what I noticed is that any victory in such a shootout is pyrrhic if it's a victory at all and that for the most part Shades and Darkshards make up the bulk of Dark Elf armies early on.
This means two things: 1) that Quarrelers are not the best choice and 2) Dark Elf composition can be exploited by fast units and activating AI skirmish mode. Dwarfs are obviously not known for their speed but actually you can raise their speed heavily with Grombrindal and the tech tree.
Grombrindal himself grants +35% speed to his whole army but you can also get +10% speed for all infantry and another +10% for Rangers. So you're thinking Rangers should be a consideration. Good. Other options are Slayers, Gyrocopter units and all Dwarf characters.
Characters can become quite a bit faster than Darkshards and Shades, certainly, with items bought by oathgold.
Any Dwarf unit can currently also be made quicker by Banner of Swiftness, Rune of Speed and Strollaz Rune which grants +20% speed and vanguard deployment.
With all this speed, the idea is that you essentially turn Dwarfs into a rush melee faction vs Dark Elfs but you can also try wave attacks with Rangers (one line shoots as the other advances, each advance pushing the Darkshard/Shade line back) or flanking/rear shooting as Slayers advance, or some combination of this with Gyrocopters running distractions/skirmish activation. The 'copters tend to be destroyed very quickly without perfect micro though and IMO take too long to fire.
The least risky units vs Darkshards are the Dwarf characters because on Legendary the AI will generally not fire at small single entities.
@Legendoftotalwar the Imperial authority system is broken. It makes it so the events don't appear. The bug happens when one of the new settlements (like Krudenwald) is occupied by other elector counts. There is a mod that has fixed it though. loved the video
Yep, Empire is broken right now, great guide on Legend's part, but there is no point in playing Karl or Gelt until the Imperial authority gets fixed
whats the mods name? That bug is the only reason I havent done an empire campaign yet
@@thomasbeyond3651 its called Empire Politicks fix or something like that ❤️
@@tobydorman3998 The name is "Patch 2.2 Empire Politics Fix", judging by the comments it doesnt seem to work for everyone but its worth a shot. Thanks!!
I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to do an Emperial Campaign soon... Does it bug out completely? Like will all events stop showing after that, or is it only for the new settlements and everything else will work fine?
I have found that the changes to Karl Franz has helped a lot. The replenishment in neutral territory has been a help, for example.
On the one hand, this is showing me how to play the actual battles, on the other hand I'm hopelessly lost anyway. I bought my first batch of RTS games (AOE II, TW:W 1, 2, and 3) and man is the learning curve brutal.
TBF this is Karl Franz on Legendary which makes it really hard,
Your Goal as Karl is to basically be the the Big Daddy of the Other Empire factions keeping them alive and killing the Enemies that threaten them which makes it difficult and unpredictable as there are a lot of threats,
The Guide is more about how you start and choosing which enemies to prioitise, usually save VC and Vlad for last
I've been struggling to stabilize as the empire for a long time. The last few times I've played, I've had to deal with khazrak, grom (yes, in the three campaigns I've run, grom didn't get deleted by bretonnia and eventually invaded me) and festus. Seeing how you deal with the early pressure will hopefully help my future empire campaigns.
I think Legend's legendary difficulty strategy can be summarized as moving at the slowest pace possible but never stopping, not even for one second.
I find I'm not missing the interactions with the chat, and this covers the best parts of the livestreams. So while I still miss them, this is a good compromise. I hope it works out.
100% facts
I hated chat and superchats all the time. It distracts Legend and it annoys watching gameplay. Thats why I voted for lets plays. Now I can finally watch legend do his things without people spamming superchats or people spamming normal chat.
One thing to mention about the experience gain; apparently the threshold is 75%+ of the enemy being killed for full XP. So you don't need to run down every single last man (in normal circumstances) but that isn't to say you shouldn't try to as a general rule anyway. (Edit: Another thing to note is this needs to be done BEFORE the battle is declared over. Any kills after the victory mark don't count.)
Another thing, about 12:20 you say "I don't think they're coming back."
I actually saw on a tooltip today that if a unit routes it will NOT recover if there is no lord on the battlefield, or if the unit shatters (well duh @ shattering). I'm not sure if this is a new mechanic or what, but assuming it's a recent change, that makes lord sniping a lot more effective than it used to be. Just thought I'd share.
I don't know whether a unit assigned 'leadership' status counts or not, but I don't feel like it should. Can't say myself, I play Tomb Kings almost exclusively, but good to share regardless!
I've had some instances where running down broke units after army losses did generate experience. Battle experience so chevron progress if you will, idk if this transfers over to campaign map so to speak)
@@HenkjanDeKaasboer No they are different things. At some point the unit stops getting battle experience unless you target a different routing unit for some reason. Maybe it's the same kind of 75% limit. The same thing happened in WH2.
I'm loving this new video idea. I have no problem with the longer videos, some factions will just take more time to get through whatever early game issue makes them difficult. I know it's not normally your style but if there was a particularly long one you wanted to split up into a couple parts I wouldn't mind it.
Really enjoying these longer videos, it’s nice to see uninterrupted thought and gameplay in Battles and on the Campaign Map. Love the content, keep it up Legend!
I love the empire so much, thanks for the guide man. Great work!
My fav video from you yet! Thank you and well played sir :D This may save a lot of people sending in disaster campaign help requests!
This is the campaign guide I needed!!! Thank you so much, Legend!!!!
The format is really nice. It's like the first few episodes of one of your old 'let's plays', which were always the most interesting and viewed. Please keep doing these!
Hi legend, i don't think I'll watch this entirely through rn, but I'll do watch it when i play Karl next time, iG that's true with most Guides, they don't generally do good in a short time, but the views keep accumulating over time, like the 20 turn guides are some of the highest viewed videos in your channel if you look it up, keep up the guides, would love army guide videos as well, thank you
These campaign guides are absolutely amazing and so valuable Legend. Please continue to make them it's truly top top tier quality content. Thanks!
Hope Imrik will come soon.
loving the guides! Would like to see some follow ups on some of these covering ideas such as where to expand/not to, stuff to keep in mind for success, etc. Keep bringing the good content!
I really like the Guide format, thanks !
Best thing about this video? No dumb chat questions or comments. Its beautiful.
Watched the throgg guide, then this comes out a day later. Easiest sub of my life. keep up the good work man you're amazing!
These are exactly the kind of videos I was talking about :) I hope they do well enough to keep you making them :)
Really needed, thanks for this one, Legend!
Looking forward to a Lokhir one in the future hopefully 😊
Me too, I really like lokhir as a character but always end up wasting too many turns early on
The glitches with Imperial Events not occurring were a huge pain, happened to me too and it makes the campaign unfinishable. They've been fixed now so this guide is even better.
49:40 Last time I played Franz, I had handgunners with a clear shot down a street in a minor settlement battle...When I manually told them to shoot the chaos warriors at the other end, they just charged. The messed up LOS definitely doesn't do his campaign any favours.
Learned a lot watching that. Appreciate this newer format of yours Legend.
Love these videos. Brings back memories of your old let’s plays.
Legend, this guide is really good, and this content is really really great! Already getting more hyped for playing again
Awesome. Love the continuation on this. Looking forward to several others, but really the information on each one is great, even if I am not going to play them.
This is an awesome new series! Great idea legend!
Loving these guides, looking forward to Kairos, Ikit, and Grombrindal at some point hopefully. One of the biggest takeaways for me personally is seeing how aggressive Legend is with very early lord recruitment and using his money efficiently. I have a tendency to stockpile cash for future use for some reason (Dawi hoarding urges I guess) and seeing Legend have 4 lords by turn 4 makes me rethink how I approach the early campaign.
Love these campaign guides!
Really enjoying these guides thanks Legend. Exactly the type of content I enjoyed from the livestreams but without all the carry on of chat questions etc
At 1:44:10 , Legend swaps out a Lord for a previously hired Lord that was ready to be hired again. We can see his wealth drop when doing this as if it were hiring a fresh new Lord when making the swap. This cost can be avoided by spending all wealth down to zero or near zero even if temporary via anything such as hiring troops or building construction. Simply cancel any such temporary wealth dumps that are not needed after making the swap and bam, swap previously hired Lord cost bug is avoided!
Not sure how far back this bug has existed, since I didn't start playing TW: WH games till WH2 was already out. In all versions I've played in WH1, 2, and 3 so far, this bug seems to exist in all of it and with all factions/ Lords. We can assume that it's not an intended game mechanic since if hiring such a previously hired Lord as a fresh army, the cost is not incurred at all. When swapping like this, we can also see that it doesn't require any resources too if swapping to a previously hired one, only fresh Lords as it should be imho.
I tried this guide and Kharzag ended up attacking Middenheim, so I was one turn later than you in defeating him, and I just barely managed as that extra turn must've allowed him to recruit additional units. Anyway, at turn 12 I managed to delete Fetus and his two armies to save Hochland but couldn't siege considering my losses. I bribed Ostland which had taken over Krudenwald to go to war with The Fecundites so I could retreat safely and recover. It also allowed Hochland a little bit of time to recruit a new army. On turn 13 Bastonne, Talsyn, and Marienburg declare war on me. Eilhart is immediately taken by Marienburg, Orion has sieged Helmgart which has trapped one of my generals and sallying out would be suicide but staying is starvation. Bastonne has moved armies near Eilhart. So, by the time it's my turn to play I have two mostly destroyed armies, 3/4 of a defenseless province, and one fort stronghold that doesn't stand a chance of survival. Empire campaign is so difficult I seriously don't know how to win it. If it weren't for the total incompetence of the majority of the Empire AI being incapable of winning a single battle or fielding a halfway decent army, it would probably be a moderately difficult campaign at best.
The exact same things happen with early battles on normal difficulty. If you autoresolve, you will win but you will lose more units than if you fight it manually.
Loving this new series btw!
That was super fun to watch! Keep it going ;D
Lovely video. That was fun to watch. Thanks!
I learn so much in these early campaign guide ! I hope you keep making some :) I would love a Ogres guide
Im getting as much enjoyment out of the long vids as the live streams. Thx for them!
Amazing series, Legend! I hope you make more.
Love this format, i hope you keep doing these.
I love this mate, keep up the good work :)
The fact that karl franz is ranked as 'easy' in IE is hilarious. If youre a newbie you'll get fucking destroyed
Very good video, this new series will definitely be very helpful. It's actually motivating me to try out new campaigns. Please consider doing Nurgle next. Ghorst is such a problem to deal with, any least personally.
Actually inspired me to try Empire for the first time since WH1, love this format Legend, more please! I'd like to see Nkari, I got pinned by Tyrion and Alarielle last time which I barely survived, then Kemmler came over before I could finish the job
Your Guide is awesome. I managed to resurrect Hochland with that and the whole area stabilized pretty quickly :D
The only problem with this series is that now I feel compelled to start new campaigns every day! :D
WH2 Archaon: Ruin dwelling is super annoying!
WH3 Festus: Yeah, tell me about it!
*Recommended first campaign* Good job CA ;)
But for real, this is a really good format, please keep doing them!
This actually very helpful! Thanks!🎉🎉
Please continue to do these videos! Love educational content from you.
More of these would be awesome, still very new to the Warhammer side of things and these really help
I believe the reason for the 'turn 7 Ostermark giving back Krudenwald to Hochland' event didn't show up cause you already gave it back just few turns before. IIRC they've mention in pach notes that you cannot get imperial authority by giving the same settlement again and again anymore. Y'all know... Instead of improving or changing a mechanic to be less of a pain in the ass CA loves to ''fix'' the ways players deals with problematic mechanics.
Loving these campaing start videos, i've been enjoying your content for the last two years and I have to thank you for all the good you do to this game and the community. Thanks a lot and keep your great work going on you Legend!
Amazing series! It's good to be this long.
What I did with Helmgart and which worked wonderfully for the campaign, is I traded Eilhart to Marienburg in exchange for non agression pact, and then I traded Helmgart back for Eilhart for more treaties and massive relationship boosts, basically ensuring Marienburg and Couronne will remain friendly/allies with me. Then I didn't have to worry about the west at all for a long time, and eventually confederated Marienburg. I don't recommend confederating them too early though, since it'll most likely drag you into wars with Norsca.
This guide is awesome considering you tell about base game mechanics (like xp) as well. Keep it up!
Thanks a ton for the guide, Legend!
Lots of fun! I enjoyed watching this. 🙂
Found this in my feed after sitting down with my coffee before work, today is going to be a good day. I am a sucker for papa Franz.
Thank you a lot for more content so soon!
This is excellent! These guides are so usefull.
Man watching you juggle death to keep Hochland alive was fantastic.
Just came to take a peek and stayed here and enjoyed for more than 2 hours :)
Love the new format and vid
Keep it up
LOVED IT! Keep 'em coming :D
Commenting for the algorithm and interaction, keep up good work
The broadstrokes of this still seem valid. Festus occupies settlements now, rather than razing them so a single lord cant easily return them. Khazrak beelines for Middenheim - he takes it by turn 3. But it still makes sense to send a solo lord north, as once Khazrak takes Middenheim (turn 3) he does start razing so that solo lord can slow him down by forcing him to go back and re-raze settlements. And it still makes sense to take out Khazrak and Festus right after the secessionists.
The bug with the Empire events not firing has also been fixed.
this was fantastic! thanks heaps legend
You're going to be busy doing these! :) Thanks so much for the great content, really appreciate your expertise, we know it's time- and energy-consuming.
Love that you let us know about explore where useful but also show they are not needed! Good to have some cheesy options
Nice vid, Legend! Franz's campaign is a little scuffed right now at the start but this was a great primer on how to approach it.
I'm really enjoying these video's thanks a ton legend
Hell yeah! I’ve been waiting for this for like forever !!!😂
Love these campaign guides Legend 👍
I had to do a lot of save scumming and cheesing, but if you ignore the secessionists after taking grunburg and head straight to hochland with a huntsmarshal recruiting archers, it is possible to take out the fecundites before losing hochland. Probably not worth doing but thought it was worth mentioning
Interesting idea. I think that is well worth more of an investigation as Altdorf can be left on its own for a bit. It is comparable to ignore Throth as Kislev and take out Azagh firts to secure the whole eastern flank.
@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 Yeah I tried it again just now, got there on turn 5 with a hunter general and 7 archers, managed to beat festus with hochland's garrison and their starting army and only had to try about 4 times. Meanwhile franz is in forced march and 2 turns away from a defenseless brass keep. I feel like I probably got pretty lucky.
@@johnlogan2396 luck's part of the game. 😁
Thanks for the Guides :)
I actually like watching these videos and the new format.
Im a starter in this game, and learn really Mutch already thanks!
Krudenwald doesn't exist in TW2, I wonder if that's the reason why the event to return it to Hochland didn't come up. They didn't update the code to add that settlement to the list of triggers for the "return settlement" event that pops up. Just a guess.
If Warhammer 2 was a 100m sprint to save the empire before the vampire death spiral happens, Warhammer 3 is a whole marathon made of 100m sprints that you have to win every time or else the nation explodes.
Also you have to win two of those sprints at the same time.
10/10 campaign very realistic and lore friendly. Summon what's left of the Elector Counts
These are perfect. Thank you!
Loving these guides
Just a heads up but this only works with the DLC - the Hunter and the Beast. You can't recruit the archers necessary to win the turn 3/4 siege battle without that DLC. He mentions that the DLC is optional when he recruits his first Lord, but he must have not realized that the only way you can recruit archers turn 1 is with the DLC.
Man as great as as this guide is Ive fought that Helmgart battle 5 times trying to replicate what Legend did and the AI never does what it did here and my army gets wrecked. My lords cant even beat their lord in melee like they did in this vid. The enemy towers just annihilate my melee infantry as soon as they get up on the walls.
I would really like clan angrund or alarielle guide next. Thank you for the hard work :D
Love the content Legend. I'd love to see a skaven start since they took out the early game cheese of abandoning your primary settlement and making it T4 around turn 3-4. Loved doing that with Skryre and wreaking havoc.
I second a skryre campaign guide. especially with that particular cheese removed.
Things being random aint bad, the important lessons are your decision making and you explaining the reason you do this and that, not to have a 100% copycat recipe to follow blindly :)
