Hey Legend!
Thank you for solving my complete mess of a campaign!
Since you gave me the new save file a few hours earlier I was able to witness your work and I was really curious how you managed all that. I usually watch all of your videos but this one got me a lot more excited ;)
I can explain the realiability part: I was actually allied with I think Morghur, Beastman. Then his chaos corruption annoyed me. Somehow Ikit was right next to him at the end of one turn and well I thought its a good moment to get rid of him. It was not.
Then I attacked the Fay Enchantress and was doing very well until she invited the high elves to join her fight. My main problem in this campaign is that the high elves are not at war with anyone else. Noone. No pirates, no Nekhati, no Dark elves. Nobody is fighting them. So they took the invitation and decided to sent ALL of their units at once.
Before the video starts I actually managed to fight off 3-4 armys allready. I was in Bilbali with Ikit and tried to attack an army in the water... I wanted to back out of this idea - and since there was no space left in the water in front of Bilbali my army went all the way around and ended where it was when the video starts.
I'd have never thought of saving Ikits army the way you did. When I first checked the save file I was shocked to see that you had the whole army alive. I tried to fight manually but as you allready said the open water maps are not good for weapon team armys. Ironically its all the trees that messed with me.
I tried to take the L and safe the campaign by rebuilding ikits army but was simply overwhelmed.
The campaign is 71 turns in and you really saved it. I am very happy and once again thank you very much!!
Dude don't make alliance with factions you are going to betray unless it's for stealing their legendary heroes.
I'm not an expert, but I would advise not mixing stormvermin with poisoned wind mortars and globadiers. Their AOE and mediocre accuracy means they would probably be hitting your frontline troops too. At that point it's free value for the enemy. Better to do it with cheaper units like skavenslaves or clanrats, but even then I would probably choose different ranged support like an extra unit or 2 of jezzails and maybe some warpfire throwers. Same potential for friendly fire, but a little more reliable than mortars and globadiers. To use stormvermin, I'd go with more conventional ranged options like gutter runners (not an expert so don't know all the skaven units. Don't remember their top tier ranged infantry) with plague claws, a couple of units of jezzails for single target, then something to force breakthroughs like rat ogres or something.
@@torquevonthorne948 You can absolutely make alliances with factions you want to betray, but you *must* wait 10 turns after you make the alliance to break it, and then another another 10 before declaring war. I find that this is actually a very good way to throttle how many wars you're in at any given time, just sell them a settlement with some red buildings and get basically any alliance you want. Then when you're actually ready to wage war on them, get all of your armies prepped and break the alliance.
@torquevonthorne948 I make alliances to secure borders as I fight elsewhere. Then, when I want their land, I just drag them into a bunch of wars that they lose and take over whatever land they used to own.
Is it the optimal play? Absolutely not. Can I bring myself to actually backstab a long-time ally? Not a chance.
@@jerico1299 I only ever ally with people i have zero interest in fighting.

> And he's sending out heroes to meet other people! Ehh... No! They're going to travel from across the world to KILL YOU!
Legend casually explaining what being an introvert looks like, lol.
yikes
Well he's right they don't wanna be your friend in Warhammer. They want your gold and cities 😂
@@FantomMisfit Cringe
@@DrClownPhD It's not cringe it's the truth. They'll declare war on you if they sense weakness
shouldve named this video "time to go back to rat school pt. 2" lmao
>Lose 5 rats
>Kill over a thousand elves
"Not good enough, we'll get 'em next time"
Oh, the irony of watching this as Fableheim is streaming a Kairos campaign and as he prepares for the hammer of the Ultimate Crisis to drop…having a singular army guarding the Galleon’s Graveguard from three different High Elf factions, having sent five-six different armies at him all at once to take it back on Avelorn’s behalf…while being very closely allied with Clan Skrye (who ofc, are about to turn on him)
Galleon's Graveyard brings some ptsd memories, when tbe Ulthuan campaign of Noctilus didn't go so well and Tyrion, Alistair and Alarielle sent 10 stacks to GG, and after I just managed those, there was always 4 stacks coming in. The way they land on different sides of GG makes it really annoying trying to defend it.
yeah thats why the easy strat was to farm vampire coats mutineers in the early gaem in wh2 lol@@ilari90
The High elf tide is scary.
The Skaven Ultimate Crisis works differently to the rest of them, They spawn natural to all factions, 10 turns later, they spawn a 2nd set of armies and turn hostile
I wouldn’t call this an army, I’d call this
“an emergency piece of shit”

High elf invasion, now this is a thing u don't see every day in IE
Is it like Wh2 where they usually get wiped out by Dark Elves? I'm still on Wh2 and they always die to Morathi or Maliketh
@@FantomMisfit depends on many factors from the vampirates invading to N'Kari within their territory and also Belakor may appear around turn 10 /20 .They have a lot of threats right from the start .Dark elves are no longer major threat they have their own problems like Taurox and Valkia+Sigvald . I had campaigns where Valkia wipes out Malekith before turn 30
@43:50 that's a good tip there. Will save many situations in the future.
Legend-“let’s disband all the regiment of renown to start their re spawn for the next disaster”
High elves* immediately turn around and go after the army that’s now mostly trash
Fun fact: Bilbali is based on a city in northern Spain, Bilbao, where I live in
love your city and love your food
There are definitely not Rat-Men beneath your city Man-thing.
I sure hope you meant Northern Euskadi.
God bless players that fuck up and submit for gold Legend content. Unsung heroes I mean that sincerely
41:20 How does monstrous abominations increase research rate?
Found the answer: Once the research is unlocked, hellpit attendants will start spawning which you can attach to lords
A weapon team army working as intended is a thing of supreme beauty. Makes me really love the smell of warp stone in the morning.
"Have you heard of the high elves?"
Said the skaven general as he committed suicide by poison apple to escape his inevitable fate at the hands of the high elf invasion
Agggh *goes flying out of the chair causing silverware to fly all over the place* 😂 Oblivion truly was something else
This campaign looks like a mess. I usually can get on the good side of the orks and vampires even after fighting them so I gobble up some their settlements then make peace with them then the order factions seem them as weak and declare war and the 2 AI start bashing their heads together and I sneak in to feast upon the carcasses. I even had one campaign where the dwarves and wood elfs starting fighting each other which was great for me and I got burned down their forests while they where away in the mountains and that left them with weak outposts which I then took over.
Seeing that sword and board stormvermin stack and building t4 in bilbali while with full food stockpile told me a lot about the situation here.
You can hear in Legend's voice how much he loves Skaven gameplay
Love you, Legend! Hope you're doing well.
Been a while since seeing some classic weapons team action. Nice!
good, glad to hear it. Sounds like a good an hardy challenge for you, Hope you enjoyed yourself an thanks for the upload i do always enjoy watching an seeing how you pull these crapshoots into Victories an sound strategy decisions all around. always nice to get tips an explanations in what your doing and why, very helpful so TY
42:40 this was actually so smart fair play, no way I would have thought of that
Babe wake up Legend posted an hour long vidya
and hes playing as ikit
Imagine those first elf armies:
My lord! A skaven army is approaching
- Very well, prepare for battle!
Oh no, they're backing off
- Alright, at ease men
Wait! They're back!
- Okay, prepare for battle again men!
Nope, they're backing off again...
Bruh...
Oh no, an ambush!
- Who could have seen this coming?! We had no warning D:
Come on man hahaha
Ikit Claw is probably the campaign I played most often, and I have not seen it screwed up so badly, that was fun to watch!
Cheese for the cheese god!
As Skyre no nukes is by the far the biggest problem "Where's my-my doom-rocket?!"
Oh baby!
Have a half day at work today. Start at 12:00 p.m. and I wake up to an hour long video for my favorite CZcamsr?
Man, today is going to be a great day!
This bring back memories of me learning skaven lol mistakes were made
Oh, those good old days...
I cant play them even now. I usually go with the Empire or Warriors of Chaos, Skavens are tricky to play
@lysander7673 I'd recommend trying ikit claw on wtw2 and just play around with them. You'll make mistakes but it's fine, turtle and remember ambush success is your best friend along with walls
Omg, Legend's Skaven control is a thing of beauty.
Seeing Legend quicking some high elf ass? I'll get the chocolate.
"sea maps not good for weapon team armies" despite them being made for vampire coast who also use weapon team armies
I feel like at least admirals should get a unique sea battle maps
Which really shows you the difference between how CA thinks their game should optimally play vs how it actually IS optimal to play.
@@shmekelfreckles8157 wish we would have lots of more maps for sea and cities, at least one city map for every faction in a dlc.
How comes the tech legend is talking about gives research rate? It just gives buffs to units it says. Thanks for the help guys !
When this tech is done you can gain a follower for hero and lord that increase your research rate when you win a battle, so when this research is done everytime you win a battle you have a chance to increase your research rate by 10%. The game doesn’t tell the player about this but this tech is OP
Had the same question. Glad you asked. Wonder if there’s other stuff like this?
54:24
‘We took no damage, except for the damage we actually took”
Beautiful
Thank you for your vids. Especcialy the long ones. I listen to them while om trying to sleep. Im kinda a noob who makes cinimatic looking battles but i learn how to be a more efficient player by you talking.
I would’ve just said fuck it and restart the campaign. Hell that’s how I learned to play the game to begin with. Learn from your mistakes players haha. But it’s super easy to forget a couple things every turn. I have plenty of “Oh Shit” moments hahah
Clan Mors being allied to Skarbrand is so cute and lore accurate
The Skaven are such a fun faction, you can totally go "F*ck it, imma do it anyways!" and still succeed with them. Rats in the truest sense of the word XD
Morals? No thanks, just gives me headaches. Honor? Ask the knife in your back whether honor matters. Skaven just don´t care.
These make campaigns fun and you grow as a player. I like figuring these situations out myself
To be fair I think the AI ignoring everything else and coming straight at the player is dumb and has always annoyed me since Rome 1
“60% of the time, it works every time”
oh my god, your macro in the single battle you had is INSANE!!! truly a legend of total war
Thousands of hours in both 2 and 3 and never knew you could customize the end of turn camera like that. Learn something new every view.
Nicely played legend
I missed the save your disasters campaigns
There are 2 main reasons I can't stand playing legendary. One is the goofy battle realism that doesn't make anything more realistic except annoying the player. And two, the performance from auto saving all the time. If the game can't handle saving, then maybe cut that out. So i always play on very hard to cut the annoyance down. I find there are many other things that annoy me when playing, so stacking these on top of it makes me hate the game more. It is a shame because i love this game. i have 6000 hours between 2 and 3, so i dont want to hate the game.
Yeah, I just got to the point where I play the game in order to have fun. A novel idea, that. Never looked back.
Increasing TWW3's difficulty cranks up the already frustrating game mechanics to 11, *and* completely removes the unpredictability of manual battles, and therefore any sense of fun. Playing on N or Hard is honestly a more enjoyable experience overall.
@@mattandrews2594the dev was probably ''let's tank performance and make players who paid $300 nauseous so they don't cheat on a single player mode''. Oh yeah, you can just alt+f4 in the middle of the battle anyways and replay it ad infinitum...
He made the colossal mistake of... establishing an undercity on Ulthuan? *Gulps in own Ikit campaign.
I never finish campaigns, so it's not surprising that I didn't know high elves eventually become aggressive and leave the island.
In Wh2 they usually died to Dark Elves anyway
Never sleep on diplomacy. Good to have atleast a few good friends but sometimes work the money out of it. Gotta have situational awareness on the factions bordering u and who boarders them.
How I play my skaven campaigns. More surface things to kill-kill!
But you gotta be able to win the battles.
Skavenoftotal war came out making that doom rocket lol
big fan of thiis style of video, been wondering what our local genius thinks while on the campaign and i havent been able to catch streams recently
54:18 Haven't these people played Vermintide? When the skaven fight fair they get run over by 4 randos that met in a bar and decided that punting rats would be a fun way to spend the evening.
Heyho Guys and Legend,
I really enjoy playing the Skaven Weapon Team Army, but I'm still unsure what the perfect setup would actually be. 5 Gunners, 5 Snipers, 4 Catapults, 2 Mortars and how many Summoners should I take? 2-4 ?
39:00 Oh i see no chaos corruption which means Morathi is gone but high Vampiric corruption which means Cylostra was still alive which means Maliketh was gonna be too busy fighting her to invade
“60%? That’s like 50/50!”
18:16 taking him off the screaming bell resulted in a higher upkeep cost for some reason.
Curious, wouldn't packmasters be good to summon up a frontline aswell, just like priests?
This channel is like a surrogate girlfriend giving me a warm cuddle before I go to bed
You said a weapons team army is bad for defending, curious, what would actually be a good defending army for skaven?
Skaven cheese.
Just re roll the ambush dice
Great Disaster Save!
thank you
Love these boats. If only they were just a leeetle bit beamier!

@LegendofTotalWar can you start a survival campaign series with any or all historical total war titles?
The challenge is this: with your chosen faction, you can only expand to the bounds that your chosen faction reached. There may be some liberties with factions such as Scotland, who either were subjugated by an eternal enemy (in this case England) or never conquered anything. In this case the faction may conquer enemies that tried to invade thier lands (in Scotland’s case England/Scandinavia). For added difficulty a province is de facto locked to invasion until the year it was conquered. For more complexity, provinces may only be conquered within that year. From there your only job is to survive as many turns as possible. Good Luck I hope to see this soon!
Will we get Yuan Bo part 2 Legend?
You know you can click on other heroes portraits in the top left corner while you're in the skills menu, don't need to exit and re-enter it. Saves me some clicks
Honestly I don`t think you should EVER recruit non-slinger scavenslaves. Slingers at least have some damage potential.
It's the fantasy french, I'm surprised they lasted an hour.
499K SUBSCRIBE ! Bravo for the, already as I write this, for the half million Legend !

Only campaign I dont care about trustworthiness is Archaon because his campaign is so disgustingly easy that it doesnt matter. The fact aspiring champions are so easy to recruit is ridiculous
Rat walls make money, might as well
Legend!
LEGEND!!!!
Cheers❤
I'd just throw this campaign and learn from mistakes.
This was my 3rd "real" legendary campaign where I wouldnt get crushed in the first 20 rounds. Still a beginner. This save file is a bit older, I have since then managed to make long victorys with Grombindal, Eltharion, Changeling (well that wasnt hard) and all 3 of the chaos dwarfes on legendary difficulty.
It's full of mistakes but the scale of the invasion and my mistakes made me think that Legend could probably use it to show how its done when everything is on fire. I wasnt able to save the campaign on my own, I put around 10 more hours in different trys.
It's turn 71 why is so little of the map conquered??? Ik Skyre has a slowish start if your playing it safe on legendary but wtf
Raaaats!!!!
Let's not go to Bibali, it is a silly place.
Germany vs the whole world
"So let's get rid of... skavenslaves slingers, because they perform badly in auto resolve...
_BuuUUt LEgend, didn't YOU saY in A previous vidEO skavenSLAves slingERS peRfoRm BETter than thEir value ...???
_When playing manually you D*MB A*S !"
Edit: you have ratling guns and jezzails in your army, and you can't use them to defend a fortified city... I'm still not used to it.
So that is secret to Legend being legend... He is stealing heroes from campaigns which are send to him!
Imagine playing WH2 and not building walls
Something tells me the person who submitted this may have engineered the situation a bit.
Hey its me and no I really did not. I fucked up with fighting fay enchantress. She invited Eltharion and Tyrion to join her fight. Problem is that all of the high elves had NO enemy. They are not at war with anyone else. So they packed their things and sailed over to me :)
Before the video starts I had allready beaten a few armys. Because of my noobish controls I somehow managed to move ikits army to where the video started. I wanted to back out of a fight I wanted to start and since there was no space in the army in front of the city, Ikits army moved around all these armys into the open water..
just because of that "save" stutter i don't play on legendary. people that will save-scum will find their way no matter what. why enforce it in such a bad way... its singleplayer game for god sake, and also from technical point of view that save game functionality could've been run in the background (async) but they probably thought themselves for people that use alt+f4. its childish..
i dont understand how people have so little territory at turn 70. you have to be deliberately trying to give the ai more time to build up to have this little so late.
hell im usually closing in on long victory by turn 70-80 and I wouldnt even call myself a good player Ive seen far better than me.
First!
Well, first non-Slaanesh worshipper (hopefully)
