So the Empire's best marksmen all aim down the scope of their rifle with a missing eye?

[@robovinefilms1811]

Only novices need eyes.

[@blindwoozie]

Thats just how fuckin good they are

[@Wanderer-nw2so]

I just think it's just that they aren't mistakenly opening their other eye when firing

[@dgrmn12345]

The eye patches are for night vision ;) hehehe

[@williamchristy9463]

Yes.

[@redsalamander9999]

7:10 That Engineer should be stripped of his drivers license due to a lack of vehicular manslaughter.

[@leandersys1799]

und zhat is how i lost my driving license "laughs menially"

[@adamparent1570]

This is the first game I have seen that proves the landship is balanced. It's nice how it can be defeated quickly with some ranged fire

[@roslolian11]

I think the Landship just got mismanaged basically suicide ran to the entire enemy and got focused fired from all sides. And then it didn't get regrowthed in time and died before it could regen.

[@ConnorWhitney95]

Gotta find it a bit humorous that there was this unspoken agreement of “don’t bring the barge you’ll be a bully if you do” before it happened and actual armies clashed!

[@Tactical_Lich]

GG! Not trying to snipe the life wizard definitely cost me the game! Healing is simply too strong, especially on the chonky empire machines, for the dawi to grind through.

[@gplr1882]

man, what a dwarf cannon could do here.

[@arn1345]

Gotta be more honest if you're playing Dwarfs against Empire now. Bring some artillery to counter the long rifles. Can't just unga bunga Dwarf-tide now.

[@ZhBorg]

Maybe tact lich does not play dwarfs very much

[@MusMasi]

Im sure you do

[@nicky640]

😂😂

[@Ancient_Hoplite]

Battle of Waterloo circa 2524 IC

[@tine0057]

man the hochland long rifles have a huge package down there lol.

[@memedaddy6932]

It's not their guns that they are named after

[@StofenThe1st]

Oh man, seeing the land ship and steam tank getting healed. I think they’ll nerf those two by introducing a new unit type or giving them the same one that Chaos Dwarfs have on their machines so that those can’t be healed like that. They could then have it so that Empire engineers could have an ability to heal machines.

[@sassyviking6003]

That definitely makes sense from a gameplay perspective, and there is precedent from the chorfs as you say. That daid those of us who played tabletop remember fondly how life magic was basically the only way to stop a ste tank from killing itself. So there is also precedent for life magic to work on those targets.

[@frankgarofalo7722]

I loved the dwarfs for their gunpowder but the dwarf's got murdered by the empire gunpowder in this match. The thunderers got destroyed by those empire snipers and those landship charges were brutal to watch.... But the thunderbarge would of been interesting to see in this match-up. This matchup is definitely tougher since this update.

[@williammartin7138]

Probably cannons + quarallers is the way to go

[@cohortConnor]

Anyone else notice them aiming with the eye that’s missing?

[@liamcullen3035]

Amazing battle! So very cool to see how the new empire tools can be used! Should the Lore of Life be able to heal landships and tanks? I kind of assumed they’d create a new “machine” tag, and make them only able to be healed by engineers and such. But hey, I guess the landship is at least made of a lot of wood! That’s in the domain of Life Magic, right? 😅

[@DahvPlays]

I imagine it's healing the crew

[@sassyviking6003]

I love jezzail/crane gunner type units. I can't wait to see what ai can do with long rifles in empire.

[@c0mmanderKeen]

Healing the dead crew in the Landship is very wholesome dahv!

[@houlinfan4140]

steam tank is such a good tech against dwarfs , loved seeing the steamtank just run over malekai over and over again

[@coreymiller2276]

I always enjoy seeing the various battles you share, thanks!

[@darthplagueis13]

Bit weird for them to have snipe but not stalk. I guess there's a use case for them ambushing the enemy from the woods without immediately getting spotted.

[@DahvPlays]

Yeah it's a bit odd but interesting

[@bruuuuuuuuhhhh]

Might be a bit hard to have stalk when you're wearing bright red and white, have a big poofy hat, and rocking a huge "long rifle"

[@arthurpeti]

Im glad there are long rifles in the Empire now, makes it accurate for the dwarves to have SHORT range...

[@Boonedale]

That dwarf lineup needed organguns and/or cannon.

[@zeggsy0554]

But can you stop 30-50 feral hogs with a hogland long rifle?

[@UnreasonableOpinions]

That's more like how a Landship bumrush should go. Tough is good, but it should be punished when you make mistakes.

[@mofogie]

The Black Lions are phenomenal against dwarves. They dont have much of an answer. Also a fireball wizard does wonders. Upgraded fireball is dirt cheap and will delete 1/2 -2/3 of an infantry line if you aim it from the side. You can get extreme value for a fire wizard on a horse that flanks dwarven infantry lines.

[@HOMER8517]

Pistoleers look bugged, they're all shooting at a only couple units at a time

[@ladyfyreblood6550]

Always been that way. It's a game philosophy going back to Age of Empires at least. I hate it too, but this isn't new.

[@PetrucciIbiza]

You should report regrowth bug. Imagine if this worked for undead units. I can see a lot of shenanigans going on

[@tictcha612]

Super vidéo !

[@R3GARnator]

8:38 BOOK!

[@pktrd6580]

Healing steam tank and ship seems weird. Those are basically constructs.

[@brotherdeveaux5474]

Thanks for showcasing the new units. Are we able to buy at midnight tonight?

[@DahvPlays]

Idk when it goes on sale, probably exactly at release time

[@alonsoisraelolveramartinez3509]

greatswords actually did a lot of damage , im surprised

[@Atercor-kx8hs]

Honestly, I feel silly about healing on tanks/ships. Every other race have some special healing (like chorfs daemonsmith/ tk necrotec) but Empire.

[@Tom-sq2yy]

I've always played with mods; are long rifles new in the DLC for the unmodded game?

[@DahvPlays]

Yes

[@sohmingjian]

A little disappointed e landship didnt blow up when it gets taken out. Ppl were saying u do NOT wan 2 be near it when it dies

[@archangelanton]

Long rifle it's ultimate unit against dwarfs.

[@yuzuftazimo2157]

Ah I actually found long rifles a little bit on OP side. I mean they have long range, massive AP damage and IS accurate, this is a deadly combination. The only downside is their low entity and the general difficulty of constant needing of line of shot to use them but compared to the advantages, it is insignificant. I think we'll see a nerf on this unit fairly soon alongside with steam tanks, and especially thunderbarges

[@Brett-uq4tz]

Are you familiar with the swedish caroleans and their tactics? Next time you play as the long rifles you could give those tactics a try.

[@Cpt_MacMillan]

Malkai Maxen xD

[@alixbarwick7992]

The fact youtube asks me if i want to translate your comment to english makes it even better lol

[@AwesomeLionSaurus]

Don't nerf - increase price. It's cool having some good tools - just make it more of a sacrifice to pick it up.

[@bouloulou9476]

To increase the price is a nerf

[@AwesomeLionSaurus]

@@bouloulou9476 Fair. It's just that usually when people talk about nerfing something it's to make it in line with everything else performance wise and I think the games strength is in the fact that the armies and units are not homogeneous.

[@granddaddynurgle2890]

Not as cool!? That's a grudge'in

[@catsndogs98]

Oh god the empire has reached almosg enough dakks

[@johndane9754]

So why does the Empire have handgunners?

[@leandersys1799]

cheaper larger volume of fire, and you can get them at tier 2 now, but since dwarf are so slow and have smaller then average unit sizes long rifles are a more natural counter,

[@edwardfontaine7108]

In MP handguns being cheaper might make them just that little more cost effective that Ironsides aren't actually worth the extra cost. This is just speculation on my part but that is what seems to be the case.

[@aziouss2863]

@@leandersys1799 What did you just say abotu dwarfs? You used not one but two S words man... I would be careful next time. i think they will let you slide cus it was not the third S word...

[@AlmeneBeranger]

Volume of fire. You don't want to waste your 32 man unit of long rifles shooting chaff.

[@leandersys1799]

@@AlmeneBeranger yes, thats the difference between handgunners and long rifles,

[@Wanderer-nw2so]

And yes your eyes don't deceive you landscape haters it did die and it died to what I expected it to, concentrated armor piercing missile fire. As I said, it's a very strong piece but if it gets shot to pieces it can't be useful now can it.

[@wile123456]

The long rifles is visually the worst unit of the DLC, it's just kitbashed with existing assets. Incredibly lazy work by CA. Snek already uploaded an amazing reskin making them actually look unique and up to WH3 standards instead of the low poly and detail WH1 model we got officially.

[@vseznamus8862]

"Flesh to stone on a steam tank" It's a tank. And if that's not obvious it has a tip that is doesn't take damage from small arms through frontal armor and also 50% less from the sides

[@darthplagueis13]

Pretty sure that flesh to stone means the tank hits the effective armour cap of 200 where it technically stops all non-ap damage (though I believe there's still a damage reduction cap of 90%, so the true armour cap is technically 180).

[@bortoo6634]

Flash to Stone gives 60% physical resistence, wich stacks with the 160 armor of the steam tank AND with its 90% missle Block chance from the front (or 50% from the sides). Its useful to mitigate flanking shots when using the tank as a disruption tool (like it was used in this specific battle), or to mitigate ap melee (if it gets caught by halberds or monsters), but its mostly wasted in a frontal shoot-out, since ot will prevent 60% of the dmg of only 10% of the projectiles that hit it from the front.

[@darthplagueis13]

@@bortoo6634 Right, it does physical resist now. It used to add +60 armour when Lore of Life was first introduced.

[@bortoo6634]

@@darthplagueis13 oh, I remember those times. Would use it on wild riders to make them trade better into empire cav. Not worth it Imo, but I wouldtry it noneless xd

[@joshmilner4864]

gg

[@none-of-your-busi-ness]

Steam tank might have been the perfect counter against malakai, 100% missile block chance from the front is just hopeless in that final duel

[@memedaddy6932]

It's actually 70% missile block chance from the front. The unit has 70% block chance, of which 100% is applied to the front. The tool tip for the block chance is really confusing, I only learned this when someone in another video pointed it out.

[@spellbound1875]

Really not a fan of long rifles having penetration. Firstly it really steals the thunder of the Volley Gun. Second, it's baffling that a hand held rifle able to be fired by a single soldier has the same damage and penetration as a wall gun that's taller than the person shooting it. Unless the empire has some modern day anti-material rifle munitions considering the size of the rifles they should be firing much smaller rounds with a subsequently smaller punch. I don't think their performance is broken at this price point (though they're looking much better than game 1 empire powder units who really need some updates/buffs) but the dissonance of the unit is something I'd like to see reduced.

[@bruuuuuuuuhhhh]

Does anyone else notice the bullets sparkling when the Long Rifles shoot? What does Hochland enchant their bullets or something?

[@paulverhoven3549]

Empire got op steam tank, dwars got op thunderbarge, only nurgle didn't get op units. Like seriously for now steam tank, thunderbarge looking like too strong for mp. And nurgle still struggle even with new units.

[@lovebus00]

This habit of releasing new content in an overturned state is getting annoying.

[@onemessage5462]

Your micro is bad bro you wasted the land ship for nothing and wasted winds of magic on a dead unit!!!

[@ladyfyreblood6550]

Landship was a great distraction. Having a spell go off 10 seconds later on a dead unit is a bug and not a feature.
