[@JoKad17]

-Ignore enemy cannons -Execute enemy general with heavy ordinance -Make your men fight under enemy fire AND friendly fire -Sacrifice your heroes -Finish the battle in an absolute bloodbath won by sheer attrition by having your last gunners and artillery crew charge the enemy cannons Keep making the Death Korps proud Turin!

Hell yes

Also a tip for milking insane gold and research rate: you will have insane amounts of battle wizard so try to recruit as many as you can with the noble trait. Then send them to perform steal technology actions against enemy settlements. This will allow you to level them up and have them grant you 3 turns of bonus research rate each time you succed, stacking indefinitely and capping at +35% research each. The 3 turns stack so if you, say succed 3 times in a row you'll get the bonus for 7 turn (9 minus 2 because you need to take 2 turns after the first one). Level up prioritizing steal tech, specialist and boost income in that order. Once you are satisfied with the amount of research gained and have got 3 point in boost income shove them in your most profitable region, possibly integrated into the "army" of a lord with the noble trait. Said lord should have no units, he is just there to make you extra cash. Top it all off by using them as caddies for items and followers giving you extra income, extra taxes, extra commerce etc... (the best one is Marienburg item, the Staadstrat's key, which is just like the Sthalberg letter but instead of keeping corruption in check it is made to get extra money). You can also mix in a couple knowledgeable wizard: you lose on the 10% extra gold from the noble trait but get the juicy +5WoM for all armies. In the end each wizard you can use this way will give you - +35% extra gold for the local province - +35% extra research rate for whatever amount of turns you want to stack on them - a LOT of love from the enemy of the faction you keep stealing tech from, like, seriously insane amounts - can put on them followers for extra public order or untainted TL;DR: @Turin put on a wizard farm and rake in insane cash and research (last playthrough I had Altdorf produce over 15k gold per turn and my research rate was over 400% for a while).

@@JoKad17 The increase in supply lines might dampen the effectiveness of the lord part of this strategy on higher difficulties.

[@JoKad17]

@@ingold1470 heroes do not affect supply lines. It's basically what he is already doing with his two mages in Sylvania but on a bigger scale. Even just 3 noble wizards and 2 knowledgeable will boost his gold by a lot and give him 10 WoM. Having a governor lord however will increase supply lines, but the cost can be recouped easily by stacking a the possible income buffs he can get (that however requires conquering Marienburg since it gives you the best money making item and furter buffs if you make the lord the elector count of Marienburg)

[@ingold1470]

@@JoKad17 I was talking about the governor lord.

Nice change to see campaigns without cheese overload (I like Legend Of TW too, but cheese and doomstack gets old quick, these more diverse tactics "à la multiplayer" are more interesting). Looking forward to a H2H campaign.

[@puppyfood]

fall asleep watching dead meat kill counts and wake up to this. huge 40k fan so im not complaining, very happy algorithm has brought me here. haha

[@sharilken]

Man I would just love for a lore of metal spell that has stronger effects the higher the armor of the unit has. 80 Armor Units? Gelt: ARMOR MELTS TASTE GOLD MAGICS

[@fordtwendy]

Im enjoying this series soooooo much, daddy Gelt is truly an incredible character in the robotic hands of Turin ;)

[@zarasque]

I think you transmuted so much things into gold, gold value must have started to fall and that's why Barak Varr decided to wage war on you

[@kingkool1338]

I usually get bored after watching a campaign stream for a few episodes but this campaign just keeps getting better and better. Gelt is going beast mode and raining down holy fire upon the heathens of the old world!

[@supersangu]

That win against the beastmen was great play! Wolfric Gausser-ungorbane

[@maginotline9601]

Damn Balthasar should have just hit Archaon with final transmutation during the End Times

[@MrSaltycrackers]

This campaign is a good watch for sure. Gold daddy is putting in work.

[@gotmilk5899]

You getting attacked by the Dawi reminds me of my modded gelt campaign where the dreaded halflings joined manfred in destroying me 😭

[@fletchh6880]

Your Gelt all powder quest battle reminded me of my Azhag campaign. I attacked Lvl 5 Altdorf w 2 BOB’s, some orc boys, 3 trolls, and like three archers. And let me tell you, azhag had 15 health, and I had to rotate popping the BOB immune to psych ability for the trolls so they could kill the demis. Ended up only winning Bc if the 4th Wah caused a final terror route. But I agree, each big battle should be fair game for either side!

Gelt cheesing in a corner *GRUDGE INTENSIFIES*

I don’t know why but Ghorst’s line at 40:48 cracked me up so much.

This is the best old world empire campaign. What is it like 1 winds of magic for searing doom eventually 😂

[@izual2840]

What a beautiful morning coffe with your Gelt gameplay.

[@8adhabits975]

Hey @Turin, in case you didn't do the quick mathSS - if you spend 1 more point in plague of rust - the basic spell becomes free to cast = very big value imho ^_^

[@lich109]

"There have been no transgressions against the Dawi." Didn't you do diplomacy with Dwarfs? Barak Varr had the trait "Hates Dwarfs" at the time.

[@dragoneye6229]

The dwarves were not happy that you were creating gold mines across numerous battlefields. Gold is meant to be mined from hills and mountains. Not orc hides. This is the ultimate sacrilege to dwarven kind.

"Knights of Morr are useless against vampires" -Turin. If this is true Creative Assembly are idiots.

[@turinRTS]

Their niche is causing terror, vamps are immune

[@jakepel3117]

@@turinRTS In that case Creative Assembly really are idiots. A five minute Google search will tell you that the Knight's of Morr specialize in destroying undead. Oh well, not angry at you Turin, thanks for the video.

[@willferrous8677]

@@turinRTS easy fix : Knights of morr's terror bypasses "immune to psychology" if target is undead. (they won't rout, but will just start melting for a bit)

[@jakepel3117]

@@willferrous8677 Creative Assembly couldn't even get the colors right. Five minute google search: Knights of Morr are all black. CA: We'll make them green and red!

[@shiyuan6975]

Just so you know, causing terror makes you immune to terror and fear, so it's actually a buffed immune to psychology that helps them fight undead by making them immune to terror bombs and also allows them to terror rout living enemies. So the Knights of Morr are actually better equipped to fight undead AND living units, they just don't have any special damage bonus or other gimmick.

[@rook1005]

Don’t know if I’m missing something, but final transmutation doesn’t seem to take much off hp bars?

[@rook1005]

Just thinking that final transmutation doesn’t seem to take much off hit point bars?

[@rook1005]

Just seen it nearly one shot ghorst, my mistake 👍

why does youtube always lead me to your stream when im sleeping

Dude no idea, this is an old video also, very weird!

Noooo Turin Short lives matter! You triggered them to retake the Southern Mts because you had no pacts.

[@commanderkei9537]

3:32:48, you get the agent that boosts income and your projected income doesn’t change. Then you upgrade their boost income by 9% and it goes down?? This is truly beyond science

I forget if you mentioned it elsewhere, but how come you don't use the Alt key when you're trying to get an AoE to target the ground and not an enemy unit?

Cattle dogging? Cattle are herded by cowboys on horses, sheep are herded by dogs, there's no such thing as a cattle dog, why not just say herding them like a cowboy or sheep dogging?

[@TheArbiterReturns007]

Watching turin assess which units are essential and replacing his melee units with other melee units instead of deleting one of his many handgunners will never not remind me of that budgeting meme where the guy refuses to spend less than $3,000 on candles
