I personally think that ROG is overpriced. You get the same Nvidia GPU cheaper from other manufacturers. Nevertheless, everything is fine as long as I get my TW content. 😊

[@ScentSense]

Laptops are overpriced because 1. They're laptops and 2. You can't really build one yourself. You pay extra for the portability, convenience and to have it built for you. Once people can reliably build their own, expect prices to tumble.. I think there's one company making modular laptops already actually. ​@@JayvH

Hey thats my battle! I tried this one many times and got quite close in a few of them but never managed to win. When I got the save back I saw that my units took almost no damage and I knew the king of cheese had cooked again (even though this time it was mostly because of bad AI, I swear the AI is never this bad when I'm playing lol). About grimgor, I focused on cathay at first and when I finished with them grimgor was already massive, had beaten drazoath into submission (he had one region left when I confederated him) and was about to conquer zhar nagrund. I dont know if grimgor himself declared on the servants of the conclave or if drazoath called them in the war. Now the campaign is going well, I was already preparing to go to war with grimgor anyways, he just happened to declare first. Also a few turns later another 3 stacks attacked yet another convoy in the same map lol but this time their reinforcements came from my side of the map (right next to the spot you set up) so I don't think it was winnable.

I find often that Grimgor is your first big obstacle when playing Chorfs. Especially if you’re paying Astragoth Ironhand or Drazoath the Ashen. If another AI faction doesn’t deal with him first you really should deal with him relatively early on before he becomes too much trouble.

[@TehFishey]

That convoy map just outside zharr-naggrund has saved *so many* of my convoys from Grimgor. I usually set up on the hill in the corner for the good blunderbuss angle, but I can see how Legend's position here is much better...

[@0NoName9]

First order of business as any Chorf faction is TAKE GRIMGOR THE FUCK OUT. NOW.

[@pnutz_2]

play as anyone east of the mountains and grimgor finds a way to go straight to you and make himself a one-man endgame crisis, just like the dwarf hellwar in tww1

[@Вейн-э5б]

Once again as I started Astrogoth campaign Legend posted a Chorf disaster battle. This cannot be coincidence! Are you stalking me, Legend???

[@commodusleitdorf2726]

This is why I always play with a timer since back in Med 2. If the AI gets too goofy and derps out, I can win by default.

[@sturmghast8266]

Convoys are just not worth it because of Grimgor spawncamping them lol. Should add a speedbump between Zharr-Nagrund and the nearest settlements he usually owns.

[@Vennnaya]

I do find it interesting how blunderbuss units seem to always be valued both by players, and by the game, than something like Iron Hail Gunners, which are effectively the same thing.

[@dwillis24]

Congrats on a reasonable sponsorship! I am incredibly happy that is neither Manscape nor RAID: Shadow blammy. As long as Skynet is programmed by Creative Assembly, we are safe.

If only ALL advertising was done like this, usually i just ignore or click next but I actually went to check out the card. Liquid cooled GPU.....finally!

[@whereswally8695]

Was this recorded on the 5.3 patch: "Addressed an issue where large AI attacking armies on certain maps encountered challenges reforming due to constrained playable space. In these situations, AI armies will now bypass the reform phase and proceed with a more focused attack." ?

[@thelonedrummer18]

I remember them saying that was more targeted for large armies that need to battle on small maps, maybe they didn't include every chokepoint battle in that? Doesn't make sense to me but CA does CA things

[@MountainEucalyptus]

Speculating here, but I think that this is a related issue. I guess the army is trying to form a line, but there isn't enough space for it. CA probably made the AI forget about forming a line if it wouldn't fit on the map, but it still tries to form a line if it could fit except for an impassable obstacle. That is my best guess as to the cause.

[@SolinOutlander]

One of those battles which is certainly an argument in favour of having the timer counting down. it feels cheap, but if the AI doesn't want to actually fight, then they deserve to lose by forfeit.

[@tanktoptony78]

Would be cool to see some of the situations you think are unwinnable just to see how royally screwed a battle or campaign is. Could be a Top 5 worst disaster submissions.

Yeah I was certain I read that somewhere to in the notes, specifically addressing the issue with choke point battles. Seems like it was hot air like the first time they 'fixed' the ambush battles. Hopefully they see this and get back to proper fix it this time.

[@atticlion7648]

​@ragnarok6521 I doubt this was recorded on the 5.3 patch. Legend doesn't mention the patch at all in this video.

[@RealEscado]

@LegendofTotalWar what is your opinion on a 60 min timer? I situations like this you win as a defender which is mostly in favor of the player since these big battles usually mean that the AI attacks you. Especially in this situation you get a free win, replenish ammo, army abilities, magic and might get some replenishment.

[@lordfreezer9550]

is this post 5.3 patch??? this exact issue on this battle seems to be directly addressed in the 5.3 changelog... " - Fixed an issue where the AI seemed idle while crossing the river, waiting for reinforcements. Now, when 95% of the units have crossed, they advance to attack without delay." and maybe in this other point in the battle AI section: "- Addressed an issue where large AI attacking armies on certain maps encountered challenges reforming due to constrained playable space. In these situations, AI armies will now bypass the reform phase and proceed with a more focused attack."

[@yuzuftazimo2157]

Make sense since legend use a powerful 40 series card (I think it's 4080) but kinda funny since Total war doesn't have Ray tracing/Frame generation integrated lol

He did, in fact, have double than 50 winds of magic.

[@Xeonzs]

It's funny to me that you got an ASUS nvidia sponsor on this video, even though your channel is mostly total war, which supports neither DLSS nor Raytracing, so for anyone looking to upgrade and mainly playing strategy games you're much better saving a buck and going with a cheaper AMD card.

[@Konstantinos_Mpas]

Well, they avoided attacking head on to the area you were set up, and when they decided to do so and took too many casualties, they decided to corner camp. Maybe the AI is not that stupid after all...

I was wondering all the time what are these drops, thanks for the explanation, legend! Sadly it crashes my game sometimes

[@ConsueloWubba]

I had a good campaign going with the Disciples of Hashut. Then Grimgor waaaughed me. I was hoping the maggot lord was going to steam roll him (we were on friendlier terms). Nope. Always. Always. Always, take out Grimgor as fast as you can.

[@dongameleone2489]

I assume you did it before patch 5.3 Interesting to see the AI after it as they say they improved the AI so it will charge once enough of its forces are through

[@asdasdasdasda5228]

[@dantedmc1697]

Whenever reinforcements come on the map the AI then goes back into reform positions. Hence why they're doping out.

How did "Servants of the Conclave" get taken out in the first place? They never declare war or get into wars they do literally nothing on the campaign map. The only way to "activate" them is to pull them into your own wars.

[@balk0867]

In my experience whenever Grimgor gets big there's a good chance he takes them out without player interference.

[@nonesuch6833]

It should be embarassing to CA how bad the AI is in these sorts of situations. It shouldn't straight up break simply because the player chose not to set up right in the middle. It's not like this is a recent problem either.
