Legend tore into this guy harder than Malaketh ever could
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the strategy lesson. It was a good video. Thank you
You mean harder than Alith Anar tore into Malekith's mom, right?
@@larsdragerl Everyone and their dad tore into Malekith's mom tho, kinda hard to compare.
@@duongquan4986😂
@@duongquan4986even malekith tore into malekith's mom
One man survives the battle, but takes 118 captives, by himself. Legend.
There was a british guy that did this in WW2 armed with only a Scottish Claymore, pistol and Bagpipes, and the kicker was his name was Churchill
@@ryanmelaugh7096 Jack Churchill iirc. There's also the, imo cooler, Frenchman Albert Severin Roche also known as the 'First Soldier of France' who had an absolutely wild run through WW1.
@@ryanmelaugh7096 there was also a french soldier that did it in world war 1
Albert Séverin Roche, he was made POW with his wounded lieutenant. Isolated in a pillbox during an interrogation, he manages to overpower and kill his interrogator, whose pistol he has stolen. Not stopping there, he brought back 42 new prisoners and his wounded lieutenant on his back.
He was dubbed "The first soldier of France" because when there was a battle, he would always be the first on the frontlines.
Sabaton made a song about him called "The first soldier"
...of Total War?
Regular Mount&Blade player stuff.
that "is it though" had real Dr Cox from scrubs vibes haha
timestamp?
@@adclavium7726 it was in first 2 minutes of the vid
@@adclavium7726 early on when Legend finished reading the e-mail.
I heard it as well, the icing on top was when he repeated it. Big Cox energy lol
My guess is that he altered the battle stats after losing. That is what I do if I really don't want to take the L.
"Just have to remember to disband the regiment of renown by the end of the video" - famous last words
I hope he also disbands all the warriors he recruited lmao
legend is CA agent making people buy their overpriced DLC..
Oh, those elves “Hey, some fool there single-handedly attacked the army of dark elves! Hurry to his aid this hero!!! LET’S ALL DIE TO THE LAST!!!”
Was probably closer to: "Hey, look there is a lone madman attacking the Dark Elves... oh... OH! The Druchi are distracted, this is our chance to attack!"
After the fight: "At least I there is nobody left to judge me."
20:18 for everyone wondering
FINALLY an explanation for how an 80% ambush chance fails 5 turns consecutively!
Yeah, it's super annoying when ally agents ruin your perfect chances, just by walking near by itself without a stack.
I had Skarsnik's 100% ambush detected in two consecutive turns, but I suspect it's because of the WAAAAGH army
If you have a army in ambush for 5 consecutive turns ur doing smth wrong
@@eshaan570 alith and skaven are permanent ambush on normal movement. I'm guessing you're new.
@@Awesomeficationify i know that but he said 5 TURNS consecutively
20:28 Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice i am willing to make
a place in the gardens of morr is the greatest reward, even more so than gold
One of this most organically funny moments I’ve ever seen in this game
36:34 Legend's evil cackling is so fun to listen to.
I'd love for a 30+ minutes, or even an hour+, long compilation of just Legend cackling and other such noises he makes.
His casual roasts of units/characters should be included.
"Fuck Drycha, she's a birch!"
"Total Warhammer Skavenlord ASMR to fall asleep to"
Legend perfectly embodied the "just as planned" meme there.
Thank you legend ! Obviously im still learning lot of things its been 2 months since i started playing the game. I think my biggest mistake was that i declared wars left and right so i didnot have army to back him up for situations like this. If Boris got killed i didnot think that it would be end of this campaing but since i did most of conquering with him i was interested how could you get out of this situation. Thank you and keep up good work ! ❤
The learning curve in totalwar can feel brutal, but you'll soon be very good 😊
Thank you ! I find these types of games hard to get into and learn . I even thought that when you set difficulty on very hard ai stats modifier automatically would be changed as well
@@mrblunttwist8486 they were before, now its much more customable.
where were your Heroes bro?
Just want to emphasize how good heroes are in this game. You should generally have a few in every army.
I increased my difficulty because of that one vid you put out recently. game is so much more fun on hard then normal.
Same here. I went from hard to very hard and it's like I'm back in medieval 2. I actually have to protect my flanks, can't get the a.i. to waste its ammunition nearly as well, have to time my spells better now, and they even try dodging artillery now instead of getting absolutely wiped. Much more of a challenge.
@@stevengull6703 Except that the AI becomes incredibly predictable on VH difficulty, to the point that you actively have to limit your tactics if you want most enemy armies to put up a fight. Otherwise you simply cheese them like in 99% of Legend's videos.
great to hear that
@mattandrews2594 they become incredibly predictable on every single difficulty. I've been playing on hard for a year and I knew exactly what they were going to do every time. At least now they don't just throw themselves against my frontline. They actually flank me with infantry. This has always been the case for literally every single total war game ever. If dumb a.i. is your compliant stop playing video games period. Never have I ever had a single game where the a.i. played smarter than actual players. Most games I play are strategy games, and if you have even the basic understanding of line fighting, then they'll never be better than you unless they just overwhelm you with sheer numbers.
@@stevengull6703 You clearly didn't watch his last video.
"OH I ONLY PLAY LEGENDARY CAMPAIGNS!" *sets battle slider to very easy*😎
Legend when Karl Franz wants military access:
I don't like doing diplomacy for the player
Legend 5 minutes earlier:
let's sell this tier 4 settlement
Difference is, with Karl, even if he didn't accept it, the player could just offer it again when they get it back. But, if the tier 4 gets attacked and lost over end turn, then selling it isn't even an option and it becomes a major disaster in the region with the armies sandwiched between ogres rampaging with no armies nearby and crisis skaven that are stronger than the frontline armies.
He means no treaties and he's right. You dont wanna be making random treaties if you can avoid it. The only treaties worth getting are the trade agreements and NAPs (and even then those drop your diplomatic ranking)
Calm down guys, I was just making a joke :)
1/16 patriarchs! 0 ice witches! Just what is this lunacy? Some weird challenge run?
Edit: Battles fought personally: 11/172. I see...
I also play with only one or 2 patriarchs for multiple reasons :
-I wanna play "total war", not "the avengers". Hero are duelists or support, not the main focus of the army.
-the multiple patriarchs strat doesn't fit my playstyle.
-(the most important) patriarchs have a 50% chance to have a stupidly annoying voice.
@@ChibiNyan He's talking about total recruitment numbers across the whole faction, not per army. He only has the starting hero and hasn't recruited any at all.
@@ChibiNyan Just say you don't know how to play the game.
Even if you feel like heroes are too powerful inside an army (they're not), they can still be used as scouts instead of fighting blind.
@@ChibiNyan It's not about the avengers. Do you even know what patriarchs provide to the faction? End turn replenishment, amazing buffs for your armies. Not to mention, Legend just gave away a settlement to the ogres because he didn't have vision on the map. The skaven vermintide just popped up and we have no idea where the remaining skaven settlements are. Having heroes give you world vision, which is invaluable in knowing where to defend or ambush or attack. Your "playstyle" must involve losing a lot of battles and settlements if you're not using heroes
@@danthecanadian Yea, that's why I like those Nurgle infection plague priests, use them as spotters for enemy/neutral armies and when I need to catch them, I pop the priest on them with -20% campaign movement and a melee, armor or range debuff. Early game usually i go for as many agents as I can, and use those to spot and level up with actions, then when needed, slap them onto an army for panic defense or surprise offense.
Yeah its weird to me how some people think losing a single battle, even a major one is the end of the game.
Guys its okay to lose battles and even whole armies. Even multiple times, recovering is alot of the fun
There's been a lot of babying lately. I think people watch only Legend and think they must play optimally 24/7 and get their feelings hurt if they aren't perfect.
@@buttqueef9900 This is exactly it
Well said Buttqueef
Vampire Coast taught me this lesson. Losing your LL or one of your legendary admirals will set you back, but once you have a decent economy, you can send stack after stack into the grinder with minimal consequences.
I seriously need to retrain my brain to think like this, I feel like coming back after getting destroyed would be super fun but when I’m playing I never actually let it happen. Anytime there’s some impossible fight I’ll do it 20 times or so until I eventually cheese out a win. Then I get campaign fatigue cuz I just spent four hours on one fight 😭
@@gotmilk5899 It's also a good way to avoid some campaign fatigue as setbacks reallocate your priorities and goals completely.
I learned to take the L late into Warhammer 2 and the game opened up a lot.
These are my favorite types of LegendofTotalWar videos. It show cases how to *really* play better because there's so much more to the game beyond just fighting a battle. Where and how to maneuver armies can make impactful changes throughout the entire campaign. Incentivizing an enemy to go one way over the other.
Fully agreed! I'd highly recommend this video to all beginner and intermediate players who want to improve their game, and I think that even experienced players will get a lot out of it. I for one didn't know that it has to be a factions turn for them to pull you out of ambush stance, and fake-attacking the Dark Elves just to get bounced across the river was such a great move. Great video!
This is ideal content for me. Demystifying the campaign map is SUPER important, and few people know how it works. Thanks Legend!
22:44 "morathi just got jealous" almost made me spit my drink😂
man if this had been boris' ideal army this woulda been a roflstomp. seeing boris not leading a bear stack hurts
Not everyone enjoys mindlessly spamming the same unit 19 times.
@@GeraltofRivia22yeah some people like not reading and being stupid on purpose
@@GeraltofRivia22 Doesn't need to be spammed out 19 times. 4-5 bears, several patriarchs for healing, a few little Groms, and a number of Ice Guard of both types would be a balanced army that can hold up well while actually leveraging Boris' strengths
@@GeraltofRivia22 its not about mindlessly spamming out units, the army literally needs to replace units with 2-4 more bear units to leverage BORIS' STRENGTHS. What is the point of playing a legendary lord if you can recruit a boyar with that same army for less upkeep? Try again
@@GeraltofRivia22then why play Boris lol
Just wanted to say that the guy definitely had the Shadows of Change DLC, because he had quite a bit of Kislevite Warriors in one of his armies. He just choose not to recruit any Druzhina lords for some reason...
This guy was making some truly bizarre decisions, he didn't have even a single witch either.
Legend raised that stack at Blacklight Tower 7:33
@@GestaltCipher so the guy will not be actually able to load the save file anyway😂
''save this campaign'' this player conquered most of the chaos wastes? Even if he loses this one battle he can quickly recover those losses and build another army. His empire is in no way in a vulnerable state. Should've just accepted a setback once in a while, that's part of the experience
You sound like a totalwar veteran and I would assume this player is not 😂
the man seemed to have a lot of armies doing nothing
20:18 Legend's Inner Dawi coming out a little bit here 🤣
sounds a bit like skaven yes yes
I never noticed till now how much Boris fidgets on the bear.
bad underwear, probably needs some comfy saxx underwear
It's really weird/fascinating to see Boris expanding into such disparate parts of the map, and I say that as someone who has tackled Vermintide AS Boris (which naturally leads into expanding into disparate parts of the map)
Watching this is gonna have me seeing Armoured Kossars with my eyes closed, in my sleep, and possibly on the written page while I study--curse you, Person Who Sent This!
Yeah I love hearing legend tear into other's gameplan. Makes the totalwar veteran I am feeling good with myself 😂
20:20 But Legend, you’re going to hurt the AI’s feelings.
20:15 Legend being reliable ally again xD Everyone would like to have such an ally as Legend, yes-yes.
Slaanesh bots in full force
Fast aswell i didnt see any at 6 minutes reload page and its just debauchery
a few slanesh daemonette have made their way into the mortal realm thru the chaos portal...
Do you guys just talk about it or do you report the accounts. Identical comments on every video.
they're very supportive though, its kinda of cute
I always report them as spam.
Never realized how many asses enjoyed total war content, time to start making it myself
Nerds are back in business boys!
If u had charisma and proper will, why not?)
I love when he does the winy voice mocking us viewers that shit funny
15:05 - "I've got your line of sight, at least I thought i did."
[BANG]
"Yeah, that's better."
The entire video was worth it for just that one Averlorn autoresolve.
I love your navigation of the campaign map so much better than battles for some reason, you're teaching me things every time
Great video, learned a lot.
It's been a year since I played, thrones of decay made me go back to it.
So much changed, I'm glad I've yet to discover it now.
Sometimes a break is all you need.
One of your best videos dude. So many great little strategies on display.
20:18 Medieval II ransom captives moment 😂
Hey, you last video helped me, i now at turn 49 as Repance fighting the Ogres at Sartosa and battles are not as scary as before.
I love when Legend’s inner skaven is breaking out
'But Borris didn't get experience' lmao 😂 you really crack me up when you do your high pitch voice taking the piss 😂
I hope the new cycle of Warhammer will boost your view. Great stuff as always. I don't have much time to watch all video but when I can I drop in. Thanks for your work.
How was it the first three comments were slaaneshi thirst traps?
Also only 10 minutes in and I'm loving it.
bots
Loved the disaster campaign vibe you had going here. Hope there is more like it too come 🤌🏽👍🏽
"Pyrrhic Victory? That is a Legend victory!"
fwiw, I really enjoyed this one; it's probably my favorite Legend video in a while.
That battle with Averlon "ally". Legend greatest best helper, yes-yes!
Wow, using Avelorn to destroy the Dark Elves was wonderful.
awesome vid! love the campaign review
I'm a big fan of these "saving a disaster...situation" series. It's always something completely off the rails that I'd have no idea how to handle personally. Engrossing.
that lone lord did a lot of work against the dark elves
These are the videos I like best from legend. Winning manual battles against odd is all fine and good, but that campaign board manipulation was great.
Did legend forget to disband the SoC units lol
I disbanded it and then saved it after i stopped recording
@@LegendofTotalWar🤨
@@LegendofTotalWar did you also disband the kislivite warriors ? (they came with the later patch 4.2.0 but require the dlc)
41:56 *happy skaven noises*
This was probably the best disaster campaign i ever saw XD
I love Legends videos because you never know how he solves these problems.
I love it when legends mask comes off and the skaven comes out.
The Art of War by Legend ^^
Great vid !
Legend using Skaven tactics with Kislev is something I never thought I would enjoy so much. Legend is best ally yes-yes.
The best victory - when u just didn't even get in bad situation and win easily, with good prepare ;)
I've upped my strategy, now up yours!
Legend of Total Skaven :D
I really like this video on Strategy on the map
"My Lord! Our reinforcing army just outside the gates has been attacked! We must aid them!"
"Yeah but there's ONE GUY besieging the city. There is naught we can do..."
Also, I didn't know about the whole "borrowed movement" thing. That would explain why your armies sometimes have less movement for no reason. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes? Are the army's movement points going negative, so the next turn you have less than you should?
Yes, usually from entering thr ocean, sometimes something else
that intro was savage, my man destroyed him
You could also just disable DLC in steam before loading saves that are missing content. Maybe people who sent in saves should mention stuff like this, too, to make it easier for you.
Am I the only one who, when watching a Legends video, feels as if I’m watching a kung fu action movie where a master walks into a room and takes out 5 opponents with five blows?
I love these videos about strategy. There was some fun sneaky non-sense in there.
"Everybody died but me. Could you ask for a better result?" lmao
Liking the strategy angle of the video!
fu**ing master piece of legendly played. that´s why Legend ist the LEGEND
Legend woke up and chose violence
What a lucky situation with Avelorn. That was fantastic
Lol, nice sacrifice from avelorn. That boyar dude should get a raise fr.
you pick the right cheese for the occasion.
cheese is not a meal on itself.
cheese is supplement.
Thanks for the content as always legend. Enjoy watching your strategies and skill. Its really helpful
Legend of auto resolve
@20:30 "That's not a Pyrrhic Victory, that's a Legend Victory" lol ;)
That ogre battle, that is the first time I've seen AI recruit units you can only get from camps. I don't know why but in my campaign they NEVER recruit high tier units from camps.
Epic!
20:19 So good. Couldn't ask for better results. 🤣🤣🤣
Very informative vid, makes me want to play a kislev campaign but I suck at using lore of tempest and ice(heart of winter) and using only hag witches seems boring.
Streltsi are really bad about having their line of fire blocked. You need to get them in a checker board formation to make use of them. As soon as they're directly behind another infantry unit they don't do much.
A good lesson to take from this one is that if the AI is bearing down on you with a seemingly unbeatable cluster of high tier armies, always stall for time rather than do what they want and meet them with what you've got. There's a VERY good chance that at some point they'll split up and/or do something stupid, like the Dark Elves did here by leaving one of their armies where the random High Elf force would reinforce. One decisive victory is all it takes for the momentum to shift.
My inner Zerkovoch are pleased and laughs in evil, seeing how knive ears obliterate each other, yeaaaah)))
So, if you use a mod like SFO that includes a lot of unit caps then you’ll need a lot of barracks buildings in order to field more high tier units, but otherwise, it’s best to concentrate your recruiting in a select few provinces so you get all the recruit rank and recruitment slot buffs in specific places
Leg to war. Love the auto generated subtitles
What the fuck are those army compositions on turn 115 and with 7k income per turn?
How is Boris not running a bear rider doomstack at turn 115? 😅
Scaven prime at it's finest
Oh God, why does Boris not have a Bear Rider Stack!?!? Or at least Tsar Guard? I get that people are new at the game and whatnot but his trait & skills should contextually lead you to putting them in Boris' army.
legend Victory
the best part about this video is that you did not take out the dlc regiment of renown from his army :))
Begon, Slaanesh demons!
and up yours ;)
It's similar to the situation you had with three skaven armies and you had three options and chose option 4, attack.
That watch post you dismantled looks like it already found an undercity, so he really didn't need it anymore
Boris looks like he's not comfortable on that bear on the campaign map.
20:00 True legend
Lmao, that happines with killing elves on both fronts.
1:55 Boris just can't get comfortable on that bear, can he?
20:32 "That is... *farts* a legend victory right there!*
Hey Legend, even if the guy does not have the DLC he can still load the save file if you recruit/build DLC stuff. He just won't be able to upgrade the buildings
"morathi got jealous". Isn't she his mother?
They canonically have bedded one another.
Mom/girlfriend, yeah :/
Yes... the mother that got very intimate with her son... if you catch my drift.
Any with various other people as well and that's why this gets memed about a lot :D
I wanna say Eww. But each their own i guess.
@@rosalina2938 Yeah, don't forget that they don't have the same moralities as humans.
As another example of this: Tyrion is being thought as "weird" by other high elves, because he is loyal and doesn't go around sleeping with other females than the everqueen.
