Seeing Phoenix Guard get killed by Peasant Archers... is something I always found morbidly pleasant, those elves having hundreds if not thousends of years of training, all ended by a the 87th child of a pigfarmer, biggest dream in life is to own a bigger dungpile.
300 hundred year old martial badasses are cool, but lads who are just men like you and me holding back the tides of chaos or the meddling of near immortal peoples from across the sea is much more relatable and often more interesting. For the Lady.
By Sigmar's wrath.
Dung is pretty expensive y'know. Those empire mooks pay 2 shillings for one pile.
I wish gw and ca toned down grimderpness a bit when it comes to Bretonnia. I like their knights but it bothers me how they treat peasants like subhumans.
@@Sarum9nichIt is inspired by popular history. Peasants were treated as inferior during the medieval ages but they were by no means that destitute or treated that badly by any nation….
I like how Legend didn't even Realize he had Alberic in his army since looks like a generic paladin
Often, I think to myself; "How is this possible? I would never be in that position", but I have to be fair and realize that I will quit a campaign when I notice that it's going that way.
I agree that is exactly what I would do. Would love to try to rescue the games. Tonight I will start a new game as empire and declare war on every one with no peace treaty's.

"The Bretonnian (insert mechanic here) isn't very good"-Good portions of the video
its true
Best part was when he realized that Brettonia has no supply lines. "That's... actually really good"
0:25 "I don't know how this happened" Oh, I do. Look at those two military allies: Bretonnia and Empire. Not defensive allies, MILITARY ones. Get the idea?
Once again, military allies screw someone over...
But that doesnt explain how he ended up fighting Lothren and Welves..
@@Canaris3 lothren often war with whoever is on that coast
@@Canaris3 He could've been allied to Bordeux, which starts off at war against some HE faction. May have escalated further from there
To be fair, Empire did end up easing his pain a little in the end there.
@@emperorcaesar4311 He probably was and then confederated with them
My favorite part about these videos is legend wasting arrows for 10 minutes straight
such a boring tactic. why even play this game or any game if you just cheese the AI that hard.
I couldn't stop laughing at the mere thought of some rando running in circles in front of enemy archers, while the latter frantically try to shoot him.
GlacialFuse well without it these videos wouldn’t rly work would they?
@@Noel_1453 sure it's a easy way to cheese hardest difficulties, but you can play legendary without cheese.
GlacialFuse yeah I never denied that but I’d say that SYDC wouldn’t work without it
"just wondering if we should confederate"
*clicks on enemy* "NOOO"
that cracked me up way more then it should.
Wulfrik the Wise, he'll give it to you straight
" I DONT CARE IF WE USE ALL OUR ARROWS, SHOOT THAT DAMN PEGASUS DOWN" -High elf general
Yes Bretonnia has no supply line mechanic. Starting gameplay is usually near-empty army and 5 lords, during the 20 turns of orc invasion to farm the levels. (they reinforce each other)
That is actually a very good tip, thx
@@12345Granada Because they don't have this mechanic, there is a somewhat well known exploit (that was nerfed but not completely removed, it's still viable.) where you recruit a fuckload of lords onto Marienburg and pour all your skill points into buffing income, which negates your lord cost completely, and will gain you even more money, till eventually you have about 50 odd lords in Marienburg making you insane amounts of money.
I was under the impression that there is a cap for how many can reinforce at the same time (3 or 4)?
In addition to what you mentioned, you can also get some really good traits, and extra Chivalry.
There’s definitely a max number of troops you can have on one battlefield causing reinforcements as units are wiped out
Knights of Origo always declare war on you, regardless whom you are
>Hack game to play as Knights of Origo.

@@diegowushu "You just made the Lady's fury for life!"
Sky Icewind they never declared war on me. I confederate them always easily
It's a nice easter egg, they are supposed to be crazy assholes like that as in their lore.
Captain: General, we only have 10 peasant archers, 3 knights, and 1 lvl 12 hero meant for sniping enemy lords. Our enemy outnumber us, they have over 3000 troops.
Legend: Don't worry about it. (cheesing intensifies)
i submited the campaign.
And i have to admit that it took me long hours to beat the high elves myself. If you have questions i would be glad to answer them.
Okay, how on Earth did you end up in so many wars? Was it from being allied with the Empire as another commenter speculated?
@@ANonymous-bh1un not quite, i was allied with all bretonians and they began declearing war onto everyone and everything went to shit when they confederated to bretonia and i had tirion on my face with 4 armies, i managed to defeat 2 but at that point it was too hard and tried many times unsuccessful
@@ThePipeRow Alliances *NEVER* work out in Total War games. If a faction asks you for an alliance, they're just asking if you're dumb enough to fight their stronger rivals for them when they immediately declare war the next turn.
Why did you decide against recruiting lots of missile units?
18:20 shift click is your friend. just cue up 100 orders when dodging those missiles.
I've found with the introduction of the vampire coast DLC, they really annihilate everyone else around them and as the fey enchantress you have one of the worst starting points in the game.
1)At war with the Wood Elves
2) Count Noctilus always comes up from the south
3)Skavenblight is right there who can and will use the underway to constantly try and steal cities while being very hard to eliminate their base
All the while they expect you to hold out with peasants and slightly better cavalry. PEASANTS!!
Peasants are my bois my fellow normies
I always use Fay Enchantress when I am playing Bretonnia campain. You are not in war with wood elves, you start with a non-agression pact with them, and normally I use this advantage to build defensive ally with all WE factions. With vampire coast, I find myself coundn't expand south, but it also cuts my concerns about the skavens. Whatever you do, Bretonnia seems to end up in a pretty dire situation like this one. His repell against HE is really amazing though, never used such tactics.
Fay Enchantress is the best lord for Bretonnia though: More peasants to work with, more replenishment, and cheap upkeep Grail Knights, and on top of it shes a caster. Alberic just sucks, and Louen is ok.
GW never gave Bretonnia much love on the tabletop. I get that the weak infantry is a tradeoff for their powerful cavalry, but the problem is it's TOO weak to even hold the line properly without a grail reliquae.
I think Fey Enchantress is easiest Bret start just because of her extra peasants she can easily defend with a small army and lord while you use her stack to take territory and lightning strike double stacks.
If you wanna find out whether an enemy unit has or hasn't got shields, you can see it by hovering over that unit. If there is a shield icon next to the armour bar, then the unit has got shields. A Bronze shield means that the unit's shields are not that good, silver means fairly good and gold means excellent.
10:07 Yeah I think you've just pointed out how broken and unfun the difficulty is in TW games. You'd think the more difficult they are the more skilled the AI is but nooooo, AI behavior is exactly the same in easy and legendary difficulties, difference is it gets insane buffs -_-
Its like skyrim difficulty
These videos have helped me out so much in all of my campaigns with all the different tricks you show to bring campaigns back from the brink I have learned to more effectively plan and strategize all of my more recent campaigns on higher difficulties like hard and very hard. Basically, you taught me how to "git gud." Thanks for putting so much time into these videos.
Putting the horse archers out is fine, but they can still run down routing units :)
I usually rather go for very low HP units, as a rout can trigger a chain reaction anyways (and this can save them on the campaign map too) and they will rout when they get into melee range.
Edit: I'm stupid, I forgot you turned off "control large armies". So you want new units onto the field ^^
no mods, bretonnia simply doesn't have to pay for extra armies, that's the reason alberic used to get the job of harbourmaster in marienburg and why they changed his yield of the sea ability from extra 150% from ports local to a faction wide minor port bonus.
They were also the faction that benefited a lot from sea treasures before those got armies attached to them since you could just have a 300 upkeep lord sail the world for those.
I get that their armies are shit till late game cav spams but they are some of the cheapest if you start going for resource settlements, especially wood, iron and pastures that reduce the upkeep for troops that don't have a way of getting an increase in upkeep.
Nice save anyway, only thing i'd try to do differently (if i managed to do it as good as you) is let the high elves archers shoot eachother while wasting ammo.
Liked the vid man, probably shouldn't have watched the entire thing in one go tbh ! :D
you can still send a lord around to get sea treasure & farm levels and just pick the miserly horde and the sea treasures many only make half as much as they used too. Plus if you ever get cornered by pirates you just disband him.
I'm a pleb. I always play normal difficulty, too much bullshit with work and school best way to unwind is to act as god on the battlefield. Love your content though. Cheers.
Yeah I feel the same way when the game's idea of difficulty is just pure stat nerfs for you and buffs for the enemy. Same reason why Bethesda RPGs have shit difficulty as well since all it does is change damage modifiers, not exactly a fun experience imo.
@@kill4monney213 Yeah, I play on hard for the same reason, and use mods that buff things like chaos to make the game harder. A flat nerf to things like public order is not fun, it's just annoying.
@@kill4monney213 Most of playing in higher difficulties is cheesing and stacking the absolute best unit in the game into a deathball with every buff imaginable. I prefer diverse armies with varying strengths and weaknesses, that isn't possible in higher difficulties without you getting steamrolled.
Brocard Beringer got a damn neck workout from all the nodding he was doing.
I like the idea of the Fey Enchantress giving a war speech to her peasant mobs about how she fucked up and they now have to defend against dragon-riding high elves, blood sucking vampires, starving orcs, booty-plundering pirates, masochistic icemen, and probably their blood relatives from the other lands.
That Skarsnik scream between turns. :) LOL loving it. *reaaah*
That was one hell of a battle with the elves. Good shit
What a god, nearly double your troops with tons of infantry and tyrion but you still managed to win, I hope i can play like this someday too instead of relying on superior numbers and auto resolve
"Lord Tyrion, there seems to be a single pegasus flying in circles." "DARKEN THE FUCKING SKIES!"
Ha. I thought the yeomem were shouting "human archers" ...well, duh...LOL
They shout "yeomen archers" tho..
@@Canaris3 u stupid
Thought the same
At about 31min just because I think some people miss/forget about this. Sisters of Averlorn actually slow units that they are shooting. I think a couple of the other powerful bow units do this as I have seen something similar with Ubshabti and I think the Waywatchers.
It most be awfull that a faction that seems to be the perfect one for you its so underwellming
Yeah, there's WAY too many vampires in the game nowadays. Probably for the best Bretonnia is getting the next update.
Can confirm that Bretonia doesn't need to deal with supply lines in vanilla. That is the reason I love them so much. You can spam stacks of shitty troops without completely screwing yourself.
Don’t you get screwed by the peasant economy though?
@@CSStevens2015 Not once you have the tech that increases your peasant limit, also Knights Errant are cheap once you have the first vow, which is pretty easy to get.
You need trebuchets and at least archers in legendary though. And you don’t normally have the luxury of an income that can sustain more than 2-3 decent stacks until mid game when you’ve confederated all of bretonnia. Of course once that’s been achieved you can spam armies of knights errant to dogpile other armies 3:1, but actually getting there is the hard part
That first battle... That was not easy! GG!!!!
I rarely upgrade the tier one units on red tree on lords. Even on harder difficulties I save points for higher tier units, otherwise it's too wasteful and you cannot respec :( Except dwarves. Their basic infantry is tier 4 compared to any other factions so no reason not too.
You would be amazed at the quantity of kills the peasant bowmen can get, once given proper protection and ammunition. Only second to knights in kills per battle. And they cost nothing.
Probably 90% of cheese would be cured if the AI would stop relying on missiles if they lost balance of power for over 2-3 minutes in missile fights.
Or if their missile troops would take stock of the damage they deal. Like, do less than 10% hp in one minute -> look for other target.
Alternatively, nerf dodge chance when moving erratically/buff accuracy on single units after 4-5 volleys. That'd rarely come up in normal gameplay, but when moving a single unit erratically (the cheese) it'd fix it.
does the burning banner effect missile damage? I always assumed it was a melee only weapon strength buff
Yes
In war, there is no cheese.
50:11 How did Norsca manage to occupy these settlements (Grung Zint, Gorssel)? I thought they could only occupy capitols and coastal cities .
1:03:45 finally a youtuber that mentions its his/her discord. i like you remark as i honestly checked and got confused.
Why don't you use control groups? I couldn't play total war without them
Hi Legend this campaign looks good
unpopular opinion: Bretonnia is one of the best factions. They have amazing units (grail units, pegasus/hippogryph knights), amazing artillery, decent cheap infantry, best cav. Their LLS ar kick ass: fay enchantress is the best healer, alberic has sick economic factionwide perks, King Louen is easily the best melee LL. Great position (lots of ports), great economy (no additional cost for extra armies (which is HUGE on legendary), peasant economy is great and their economic techs are second only to dwarfs. They have the largest pool of factions to confederate with (like 5 initially, plus 2-3 in Africa/Southlands) AND confederation has positive effects, not negative. I mean, there is no losing with these guys :)
Quite unpopular opinion but I agree with you, plus the map treasures.
Man, everyone really wanted ze Lady's bathwater...
LTW: "I'm thinking whether I should confederate now"
Norseman: "NO!"
You heard the Norseman.
Quick question, why don't you set control groups to use for hotkeys during battles?
I think it's a force of habit inherited from Rome 1 and maybe Medieval 2. I at least have often experienced grouping cavalry together making them do very weird things in terms of pathfinding. And since cav is what you focus on in Rome 1, there's not much point in grouping the rest of your army. Don't know if that problem persists in these newer games.
Well, whenever I use control groups I usually have my heros in group 1, infantry in 2, ranged in 3, cav in 4, special units in 5 and artillery in 6. If I'm missing a group then I squish the number down to save on some travel distance. If not, I at least have units with spells I want to cast in their own control group so I can double click their number to jump to them and already have the mouse over the spell select area. Heck, even just using the control groups to jump to those specific units instead of scrolling over is worth it. Even if you don't use the control groups for movement and attack commands it makes it faster to give them hold fire commands and stuff.
At any rate, love the content. It just like watching a hunt and peck typist at times though not seeing you use any hotkeys.
He also never pauses or slows down battles; guess its a habit from playing on legendary so much. EDIT: Hey, he remembered this time!
more Bretonnia! seriously its the most enjoyable for me to see on warhammer 2 everything else is to fantasy. anyway enjoyed this!
Blessed Field Trebuchets don't do friendly fire so let them hit your troops
Very impressive and educational. Thanks for the good stuff
Bretonnia is aight if you play with SFO, vanilla version is just weak. Only thing they got going for them is late game cav, which a lot of factions already get.
Edit: Yeah, Bretonnia doesn't have the increasing upkeep penalty from armies. So that's something else they got too I guess.
I have always liked Bretonnia because of their lore and style but I do agree these guys are one of the weakest factions in the game. Their specialty, late game mounted units are incredibly easy to counter and the flyers are way to few in number with wrongly scaled stats to be very good.
The only way Bretonnia is good is when Cylostra summons them.
They are good but you really need to play only on their strengths, otherwise they are very bad.
Great as usual Legend.. I bet if you could work well w others you would make a fine military instructor.. Outside the box thinking is your strength.
Bretonnia is getting a rework next month. I'm eagerly awaiting that.
George Morrow really? I’m excited too, then, I enjoyed Brets a lot in wh1
@@TJRex01 It was all but confirmed in their most recent "What the teams are working on" blog. There was a picture of a Fleur-de-lis as well and Bretonnia have become noticeably more disadvantaged with the Dreadfleet and Kimmler getting his own faction.
@@ancaoraathasach They've reworked Brettonia already and are doing it again, Bret fucking sucks.
another real challenge :P this gonne be fun to see again.
At the begging of the video could you tell us what the person who sent the campaign told you about it? It would give more context to us and make it more interesting to watch
coming for her replenishment :D
Summon the manticores!!
Is confederating ever a wise decision?
Some might want a specific lord for fun (before the AI messes it up), or just be big fast. But it's just extra territory and you lose an ally. You can take other territory instead and keep the ally.
Maybe if Bretonnia doesn't have the supply lines (peasant economy instead) it's less bad for them?
The old world always defaults eventually to fighting dwarves in legendary difficulty.
The new world defaults to fighting lizards or high elves which ever you brushed aside will be your eternal thorn.
100 turns Fighting dwarves swarming you like skaven isn't fun at all but that's pretty much legendary difficulty becomes on old world.
Only thing that made me believe legendary difficulty was Easy all this years is playing darkelves/highelves which by the time they have to deal with the dawi they are rank 1 in strength.
Butt old world factions are really screwed by the dawi.
Empire becoming huge and hitting rank 1 isn't something to be alarmed about because state troops aren't that good but dwarves becoming top 5 should make you butt clench.
Could you provide us with the save file of these campaigns?
since you don't like cavalary you are not that good utilizing them :(
Bretonnia must have a lot of cows as they need so much cheese to win in campaign
That's why the peasant cap is so low, all the peasants are out in the field making my lord's cheese.
Can't wait for the rework/buff when skaven and lizard-men RoR come out
@@Xero8644 yeah I keep trying to start legendary campaigns with both of them & I just end up getting fed up with both of them.
Lizarmen and Skaven or bretonnia ?@@KamikazKid
@@Xero8644 lizardmen & skaven
what i like about brettonia is they are just medieval humans with religion (actually works this time) and they just try to survive :)
@SmashStomp Inc Empire is obviously the "Holy Roman Empire". Elector counts, units german looking (the helmets) names all german-like, emperor etc.. So i would call it 15th - 16th century HRE.
Not even close to what Brettonia is
@@MrThefoxyone what do you mean ? did you read the charlamene's myths ? its just like brettonia
dude these videos make me wanna fuck off about 50- 75 turns in a campaign then get serious and turn it all around
I played as an empire on campaign and used similar tactics of wasting ammo of archers and artillery with empire captain or any single flying unit as you used in sydc. But I used one different in siege. I bombard siege tower of only one side keeping entire army to that extreme side so that entire army is out of range of towers and only one or two towers needed to be destroyed, attack gate with priest or single unit and afterwards just park gun units in front of opened gate and shoot whatever in front of them. This way its like target practice to gunmen unit, straightforward shooting to their front without any resistance. ai usually never sends units outside broken gate but if single unit comes out I simply shoot with other gunman unit or cavalry parked just behind it. I won many siege battles without loosing single unit of my army.
Doesn anyone else see screen tearing constantly?
«This one is a dooty»
Great video man.
I'd love to see a campaign maybe 15% less fucked, but where you don't cheese
The unicorn in the thumbnail looks really derpy.
9:07 total war: touhou
there is only one way to save a fey enchantress campaign: start over with another lord.
how do these people get in this situations? ive never seen this happen to me
how do you change the direction of spells?
Right click or left click, don't remember which one, try it out
@round 1:11:00 how is the player's army able to initiate combat when it's in forced march?
Settlement was besieged so the settlement garrison attempted to initiate combat with the force march armies acting as reinforcements.
@@SavTMoA thanks I didn't notice he selected his garrison army
or could i get the same save files from you to try it on my own?!
The reason he has so many enemy's is because the fey enchantress can't keep her legs closed and some say even Slannesh is concerned
Iunno, a hot fey lady not being able to keep her legs closed would probably make her a lot of allies.
I start watching and see 2 full high elf stacks right on your doorstep... Good luck legend I eagerly await to see how you unfuck this!
EDIT: Pegasus knights om noming on dragon princes did please me greatly :)
Whoever ran this, doomborned it
seriously how do you get at war with all the factions lol it almost seems like people declare war on all just on purpose for legend to fix it lol
Top 5 intros
How the fuck do you end up fighting Lothren as fucking Bretonnia of all places, on turn 75 ??
This disasters seems to be at least I partially made up.
obligatory
Turns out it wasn't. Just allying with AI made that mongolian cf
Wait. Does weapon dmg work with missiles? Why would you give archers weapon dmg?
No it effects their melee attack. Its just super week and ill advised to allow them to get into melee, but sometimes you can't help it
Cant even play the game because of the new launcher
Go to properties on WH2, then go to betas and select launcher_release_candidate -, that'll let you use the old launcher
What a mess of a campaign how does get that bad!
Wait, did they nerf Yield of the Sea?
yeah it got adjusted back on tomb kings patch so alberic doesn't make crazy amounts of dough like he used to.
I was really looking forward to a brittonia campaign because the are probably the worst faction.
I find empire worse. Economy since you can't get all those treasures from the map as easily as Bretonnia . Cavalry very far from being as good as grail knights. Infantry is better, but actually too pricy. Bretonnia infantry is not the best but costs nothing. And used as meat shield for cavalry flanking, is a role they are good at :)
Legendary battles SUSK becouse all vavalry and melee units just cant do shit
Cheese is so boring to watch.
what difficulty is this on ?
Brettonia
why not use mods?
Legend, you have given us many a video on how to save a disaster campaign but I am sure in the fucking hundreds of submissions that you have you could at least given us one video on your campaign is fucked just give up I am telling you a lot of the people that are subscribed to you are watching these clips are thinking this please if you agree Please upvote random people please and thank you
I love your vids, but I can't help feeling there are so many of them I cannot watch all due to time constraints. Since they are typically of a very similar type, I think the bulk of your audience feels... saturated in the same way. I know how it sounds, but I think that if you plan to put as much time into all these streams/videos as you do, you may find yourself better off if you devote 10-20% of your time on some other game to bring SYDC-unsaturated audience, thus increasing your views/donations. You keep thinking outside the box, so I think any deep enough strategy game would allow you to generate some good gameplay.
As I said, I love your vids, I am just wondering whether they generate as much cash as they could given the amount of time you spend.
I hate warhammer sydcs also hate warhammer maps who can look at a hd map too much going on was same for rome2 isint viewr friendly
