Thanks for saving my campaign, it was my first campaign and in the description of the empire faction, it was written that is an easy campaign for beginners so I chose it but I was probably wrong :D

[@Gans848]

I am still wondering who at CA thought that Karl is a good campaing for beginners

[@Chevalier1632]

Y'know, that was actually true once upon a time. They really need to update it though because it's anything but 'easy' now, with the new mechanic and like thrice as many threats to deal with.

[@krisztian0703]

Next time read up on a few guides, watch a few videos about legendary lord talents and army comps etc. 😅

[@katieheys3007]

in TW2 it was very straightforward. Now it's a rough start with lots more threats (no more rush the vampires, confederate, win the game)

[@itnotmeitu3896]

Made the same mistake, I went for nakai for my second attempt, went way better, I’d recommend

Even funnier when he looks at Gelt and realises he did the same thing. No magic!

@@nonesuch6833 My read on his Gelt build was essentially he had no clue how magic in the game worked, adamantly refused to read any in game resources or online guides or anything, and so essentially ignored it as a mechanic.

[@Igelme]

[@theprancingrat]

This video really shows how much of a newbie the player really is that had this disaster. I'm glad for this because it means people are still getting into total war and actually trying to learn the game! This rat is very proud of whoever sent this in, and I hope they see this.

[@law5121]

This Rat is no fool of course he will!

[@sssssss8712]

It's a fake disaster he sold all of his buildings, that is why he has 60000 k in bank and only 1 barracks. Most likely he played until he got bored (grind is bigger the harder the difficulty is) and then made it .

[@planomathandscience]

​​@@sssssss8712played until he got bored? All those blue line perks? And a money donation? F off

[@aicr4486]

​@@sssssss8712 It's not really a fake disaster, I just panicked when I was at war with over 20 factions so I didn't worry about buildings. I just conquered the city and then let it be

[@gozzilla177]

I honestly thought my barely win first campain was bad i won but it was a pain, however if you mention magic thats my first tree then i went down red line xD quite impressive, and only 2 lords? i always felt like i needed economy in every settlement and a decent lower tier army on defense in any capitol i took over around my boarders, although my first campain was on the chaos map rather then immortal empires. as kislev ice witchs. I never used their holy war mechanics either lol i honestly ended with like 10 lords as i got so irritated at some point with all the wars that i started to systematically sweep anyone who declared war on me it always felt bad losing some land but i realise after seeing this i did quite well haha although i had to defend coutless times against them gaining all 4 prince souls

[@mr.joesterr5359]

let me guess... you messed up the skavenblight cheese

[@Kaiimei]

No, I tried the scavenblight cheese@@mr.joesterr5359 if you referred to the one where you abandon Scavenblight and then take it back and level it up with food. The issue is that they patched it.

[@shinysnivy6604]

My very first campaign was so bad. It was in game 1 with grimgor, I barely expanded and just defended like 2 provinces until Archaon showed up and burned down the world. I guess I was just being lore accurate. My first win was also pretty bad. It was with bretonnia and again Archaon burned the world. He was marching into Bretonnia, my main army was in the badlands doing the erranty war and I had all my allies and remaining armies throw themselves at him to slow him down. I was barely able to get enough chivalry to win

Best when he goes into the high pitched squeaky voice - "But Legend,..." lol

[@TheOffkilter]

His reaction to Franz and Gelts skill builds were absolutely hilarious. I pretty much reacted the same when I saw them. Still its great that new players are getting into the game and apparently seem to want to learn it, its not an easy game for the TW uninitiated.

[@botep5529]

I love the excitement in Legend's voice. Hes so pumped to be playing a balls to the wall disaster!

[@toobin8r]

And it’s also the fact that he’s teaching a new player to the game how to improve, which is always cathartic when someone starts enjoying something you do

[@Aa-zc8di]

I love disaster campaigns, glad they're back

[@Harrison-un4ub]

Warhammer 3 is by no means perfect. But I think this video showcases one of the strengths it has. Empowering Drycha, returning the gryphon wood to her and strengthening your ally because you can borrow their army or even recruit their units. I personally find that to be fun on many levels. Especially on the strategic macro level.

[@jaredcullum117]

My favorite part of empire is just assisting the elector counts as I eliminate major threats and trying to make sure empire lands stay under friendly control. Once everything is stabilized I send expeditions to target more far-off enemies. Till then its a game of shifting your power around to different fronts while building up fealty. I like that it's not just about conquering and there's a bit more kingdom management going on, since you're dis-incentivized from declaring war on electors and they do a pretty good job at holding territory while you grow your strength.

[@Riwillion]

When I saw Franz´s blue line skill tree, I was like "uh, fair enough, I guess he really likes to make his armies efficient and has been waiting to allocate his skill points because he is not sure what kind of army he wants to have with Franz". When I saw Gelt´s blue line skill tree I went "what the f*ck".

[@perrycarters3113]

I've been slowly upping my difficulty every time I finish a campaign, just cuz it all felt super daunting at the start. Right now I'm doing an Arkhan IE campaign. I've conquered a VERY large chunk of territory, including Ulthuan and Bretonnia and everything south of Balthasar Gelt, though I awarded much of Kroq-Gar's area to one of my vassals. I have all 9 books and I've vassalized.... *deep breath* Gor-Rok, Mazdamundi, Karl Franz, Balthasar Gelt, Thorek Ironbrow, Grimgor Ironhide, Alith Anar, Rakash, Maliketh, Morathi, and Orion. I had previously vassalized Helman Ghorst, but he and the Strygor faction that starts near me both rebelled not too long ago, so I crushed Strygor and awarded their overseas holdings to Gor-Rok, and Thorek is being awarded *most* of Ghorst's territory, as he is helping me crush him after that rebellion has cost me my conquest of Cathay. I'm doing a late game Ultimate Crisis(Turn 200-250). It's Turn 225 now, so I'm starting to recall most of my armies back home and preparing for the mass desertion of some of my vassals. This is on my Hard campaign. I'm looking forward to being able to do VH and Legendary Campaigns. I still need to make liberal use of the pause button to give myself time to think, as my micro is not very good, but I'm improving. Seeing your content lets me know I can always do better.

[@tommyservo9660]

7:49 - Pshh... totally winnable. ;) 12:29 - Had me rollin' 59:30 - Legend makes his own Saving Your Disaster video

[@zukabazuka]

Your first time playing the game at all is a lot to take in. My first campaign in TW2 I only really had control of 2-4 cities about 30-50 turns in and just couldn't get further because AI was able to have 3-4 armies around my area against my 2 armies. Then having them raid the region causing even more trouble for me. So when you don't know what you are doing everything feels unfair and the income you have feel so little. Then there is the feeling of not feeling safe going out with 10 units when enemy almost always seems to be strolling around with 20 units. So this feels like a beginners first time.

[@xyro3633]

An honest-to-Sigmar disaster campaign? Hot dog! Edit: Also, I really wouldn't mind the multi-episode disaster campaigns, I remember you had some back in the WH2 days

[@Jay-zk7uw]

Trouble is mate, you've taught us too well and our campaigns aren't disasters any more thanks to your guides.

[@cameroncall5163]

This is surprisingly and inexplicably wholesome. I love that new players are still jumping into the Total War Warhammer franchise, and I love how Legend good-naturedly handled it.

[@scarletcroc3821]

For the unit size, some computers just can’t handle bigger unit sizes without having everything on low or medium. So having bigger unit sizes in those cases would actually significantly worsen the player experience

[@mocod_2402]

Couldn't sell Steingart because it counted as the capital I think ?

[@MrNyerk]

Correct

[@andresjorgeargentini2423]

Hey Legend, how about a Legendary Lord Defeat Trait tier list? That'd be a treat to watch!

[@w0lfram]

When selling the settlements, I think Steingart couldn't be sold because it was considered the capital

[@andresjorgeargentini2423]

LMAO the reaction at 12:29. My sides, I'm dying.

[@adriankoch964]

This one was a great watch! Prolly my favorite of the past few months. It's good to see a saving a disaster campaign that isn't one player settlement vs dwarf of lizardmen tide that control 300 settlements.

[@chrisjackson1215]

Great video. IMO Hero spam seems like it would have been a great idea here - the guy had an absolute arsenal of gear and epic weapons (and probably ancillaries) to draw on. If the heroes are kept alive they're only going to grow in power.

Disaster campaign always was my favorite serie on your channel. I'm glad you finally got one which was worth it !

[@amilitarymind]

Its been so long since one of these that the actual title is just called DISASTER CAMPAIGN to illustrate the serious SYDC drought.

[@Sarum9nich]

Disaster campaign should a feature in total war. I imagine clawing your way out of situation like this can be a lot of fun.

[@weisbrotstyle7229]

Hey Legend, the reason why you couldn't sell Steingart is because it was his current Capital City.

[@dimensiongamer534]

I really like these disaster campaigns, but I can see why you get so few submissions for them, because you show how to play the game well each time, more and more people know how to play the game, so less and less get into these types of messes. XD Fun stuff as always.

[@Grooviebones]

lol, his campaign reminds me of when I was a complete noob. Being married to the blue line first is a common noob trap and one I fell for as well, especially in WH2 where it was a 30% upkeep reduction for the army.

[@Rayzsion]

i honestly still often rush it, indeed for the upkeep. then i go red to be a good general. but im curious if playing as balthasar people make him full mage at the start and dont care for any blue or red? seems like you need to be a general first and i just recruit other mages into my armies from the colleges.

[@StoicGoat.]

On the dwarf fortress map from the first battle you can hide in the bottom right corner (accoding to the mini map) if you stack all your units on top of each other. i've had to do it a couple times

[@andiiil]

I'm only 45 minutes in but I think the reason why you couldn't sell Steingart earlier was because it's your faction capital.

[@perdugo]

Nowadays I found this scenarios where you have to survive and rebuild more interesting than the campaign start. On this one, from this point on, I would try to regain the Empire autority just for the fun (or suffering) of it. Playing this game for so long I'm kind of getting boring with the tradicional start positions, even with the new challenges.

[@torquevonthorne948]

Yay a Barrow Legion campaign this is going to be fu... NANI this is a Reikland one?!? Kemmler manage to conquer Altdorf?!? It's actually impressive. Hail to the Lichemaster, elector count of Reikland! ...hope he get elected emperor instead of Archaon 15:18 by Chamon...
