Alberic de Bordeleaux Made a Huge Mistake - Disaster Campaign #2

[@HairyHillman]

350k treasury, 500 deficit, “finances aren’t particularly good”.....

[@FuelDropforthewin]

Less that a cool mil a turn is bad finances for Legend.

[@grindelz]

In the final battle there was 1 friendly fire casualty... Now imagine being that archer guy that shoot his friend in front of him...

[@SamuraiMorshu]

Given they're Bretonnian Peasants you'd probably be scolded for wasting the arrow more than anything

[@reivelt3715]

i just wanna say thank your for your first 20 turn for legendary wood elves campaign! i always wanted to try finish the mortal campaign with WE, but always quit in turn 40+ because of economy issue (im much more passive in expanding my region).

This is kinda interesting, it would be cool to see more

[@gustavosanches3454]

You could have set a trap for Norsca by razing Dietershafen whenever you could. The AI would inevitably settle it, cutting their strenght by half and then you could just swipe in to kill them.

Perfect timing. Finished part 1 ten minutes ago.

In case someone is watching this without watching the first part (and if so, why would you do that, go watch the previous one), I made this, and it is a created scenario, purposefuly set up as a disaster. Not insanely difficult, but not that easy either. Personally I'd rank it as a medium disaster. To be honest I think it was saved at the end of the previous episode. Well, in fact, it was saved when Legend gave Alberic his mount - I forgot he would get a siege attacker by doing that, which was a great mistake on my part. I should have levelled something silly and call it a day, instead of giving him a free skill point. Well, we learn something new every day. Alberic is a beast here, with his stats he can take out walled settlements by himself (see previous episode). What I wanted to be the saving grace in this campaign, instead of Alberic's hippogryph, is the ridiculous amount of gold I managed to pillage during the campaign. Should have thought about this even more carefully. If anyone is wondering how come we are at war with so many people - some of these wars came naturally, as factions just declared war as it is. Others are declared by me, to get some low reliability and more enemies. This was necessary to prevent easy peace treaties to get out of these silly wars. But we are friends with Pirates of Sartosa! 00:26:59 - with Clan Skryre we gangbanged the Fey first, rats were my best bros at that time, but after Fey was dead I declared war on them, as they were no longer needed. Fancy seeing them here, half world away from their capital, chasing me. 01:11:29 - Oh I knew you'd get past 1st turn. Autoresolve gets past 1st turn. It's the Norscan attrition that was the initial challenge. And Wulfrik with mammoth stack. I should have left you no movement though. 01:42:18 - here you can se that our character, Krill'acha, gained a follower. We obviously do not have saurus units. I wonder what causes this bug. Maybe hashmap buckets have more than one item in them, as they are assigned more the longer game goes on.

[@jasonr8525]

It's a neat scenario to work out of, but I find the actual disasters to be more entertaining. I like the idea that someone gets their save file back and goes on to victory having learned from their mistakes.

[@christosneder]

On the Krill'acha thing, did you have any mods active? I added a couple of mods a few days ago (I normally play pure vanilla but wanted to try Kislev) and I've started getting notifications for rank up on heroes outside my faction as well

[@northernleigonare]

Tbh legend i was playing as the Empire and it took me forever to get my reliablity up. I only lost it all first because i was allies with two other men factions who fought each other. So you never know.

[@matthewbaker1361]

I personally hate when everyone is allied against u. I’m playing as dark elf I’ve taken over almost all the west side of the map and the central island, but now the dwarfs,empire,Brit, and the south empire are all allied and I’m their only enemy. I’ve been trying to invade Brit for about 30+ turns now but their armies are limitless the dwarfs alone own 50 settlements empire has like 27 Brit had 15-16 its crazy 😜 on a side note I can see legend saying kill the mammoth in his dreams haha.

[@draganmarkovic9225]

Im low-key kinda screwed in medieval 2, at the very moment I'm at war with every Catholic faction (I'm the HRE and not by choice) and it's my first campaign on hard hard. But luckily im surviving.

Your slipperiness was a joy to watch so thanks. I'm really learning from watching you, too.

[@purromancer]

Was it intentional that you didn't repair Middenheim's main settlement for so long?

[@klonvomhaus]

Dieters-hafen is spoken like Deter-s-haven, but with an f-sound instead of a v. Salzenmund means Saltmouth, and is spoken accordingly. Sal(t)-z-en-mund (I doubt there is a good reference for a german u in english). Same thing with Weis-mund. Weis as in "wise". Mund as in mound but with a shorter u-sound. Like in "Curse of the Mummy". A dull u-sound.

[@SereglothIV]

Well, the most memorable for me is how most English-speaking players pronounce Hochland. Speaking 'hooch' for something that should be 'hoh'.

[@axethegreater]

Nice

[@SereglothIV]

If it's not deliberate and the guy was a multiplayer player, maybe what he did was ignoring economy and building his country and just went straight ahead, fighting everyone he met, sacking, razing and bringing havoc. That would explain low chivalry, lots of money accumulated, terrible income and no territory. Well, I guess he should play as a horde faction then.

[@booradley6832]

How are you so expertly good at cheese and so derpy at the simple battles lol? I say that with due respect as I thoroughly enjoy your content and think you're a great player and content creator, just sometimes it amazes me that you tell me shit ive never heard of in playing since release, and then goof up a very basic scenario. If a unit is struggling with being on the borderline of breaking, get it next to a general or another unit so it gets flanks secured and leadership nearby bonuses. Walk mounted units instead of run if you're not in a hurry to get there so you regain stamina. Dont sprint with flyers because it doesnt change their movement speed at all just massively increases stamina loss. If you need to create a mass route, save a round of arrows so you can get "taking missle fire" "attacked in the back" "damage taken" "flanks unsecured" "nearby units routing" penalties all at once

[@klonvomhaus]

I hate when the game tells me how close I won, and I barely touched the units. Like. I microed 3 of 'em, and the rest stood AFK in the corner, getting shot sometimes. It's so dumb.

[@SereglothIV]

Looking at my own campaigns and the ones on youtube, I think that the game determines whether the victory was close or decisive based on the initial strength balance and not the actual outcome. Heroic/phyrric are a different matter but that's what I noticed abou close/decisive.

[@QuestionableObject]

Bretonnia is now the empire

[@Godoftool1]

Am i missing something? I swear every one of these disaster campaigns the people have hundreds of thousands of gold but like no settlements. How are they massing that much gold?

[@SereglothIV]

My bet is sacking, razing and not building up their provinces, basically playing like a horde faction. That's why it ends as a disaster and they wound up with one settlement far away from home. I don't know but that's my best bet.

[@emorsi]

Damn... the siege battles are really boring... just sent in the heroes and the AI will bombard their own troops... at the end 0 loses for the attacker, in this case legend... is there a slight chance CA might fix this in Warhammer 3? Me, for instance, refuse to play like that... I want real battles with the chance of losing something so I send my troops on the wall for a real battle... lol... I know... not the best way to win... and sometimes I loose... and it's fun... not always but most of the time...

[@SereglothIV]

Yeah, the sieges are so broken at the moment. When I attack, the walls don't protect enemies from me. They protect me from the enemies.

[@SereglothIV]

I think two things would fix this. Two things that were present in older Total Wars. 1) Make some of the AI forces actually leave the settlement and counter attack, instead of just sitting there and taking in all the arrows the player sends their way. 2) Include entire settlements on the battle map and make enemies retreat to the main square, which would make them unbreakable while they're there. That way the player has to actually kill them and not just wait for the army loss penalty.

[@SereglothIV]

Also, in older Total Wars the siege equipment was really important. Rams (which were the only thing apart from artillery that could destroy the gate - now even a bunch of bretonnian peasants or skavenslaves can do it with their bare hands), ladders (which you had to actually have constructed and carried to the walls, not being pulled out of soldiers' arses), siege towers. But now that we have flying lords and heroes I don't know if there's any point in siege equipment anyway...

[@emorsi]

@@SereglothIV Well... to be honest if there would have been flying units and flying monsters in the medieval age the walls of a castle in a siege battle would have become rather pointless. So... it's somehow okay, in a strange way, that the walls in a siege battle in TWW are not that important. But, well, you can still hinder, from a wall, an incoming flying unit from flying over you to fast. You can still shoot it down. It's still rather unrealistic though cause a flying unit could fly well over over you, say, in the clouds and then just land in the middle of the castle defense area, leaving the walls behind them.

[@SereglothIV]

The question is, how would real medieval fortifications and warfare in general have evolved if we had real griffons and stuff? ;)
