Hi Legend! That was my save file, thank you for featuring this, i hope you and everybody else watching enjoyed it. Just a couple words about the situation. Was doing a no defeat campaign and because i've lost a campaign like this before due to lightning strike i deceided to build every single army strong enough to be able to handle that, thus a bit fewer armies. As far as the enemy armies are concerned i made a backup save, then took a look around my list of allies and selected their strongest armies and turned on console commands to teleport them into the desert where i declared war on them for a showdown. The ruinshelter ability appears to be bugged and permanently available to all mistwalker units. Also the army could have been a little bit stronger if i added diamond guardian phoenixes to every Lord however in 234 turns i only got 1 of them and it was assigned to a different army.

[@comradealligator7637]

[@robinekhoodekful]

You need only one Diamond Guardian Phoenix, as it applies mapwide, not armywide (but nothing stops you from adding each one of those - having also fire resistance one and spell resistance one)… Also Legend was right that having Grom’s Big Waagh, would make this army even stronger… … and I know it it debatable, but you can take 60% physical resistance instead of 20% ward save to have them be even more durable (depends who you fight). I’ve got shit ton of Yvress campaigns myself, so I tested a lot of different stuff with them 😅 … and still I didn’t know that ability was bugged - good to know, thanks :p

[@danielgebey7419]

@@robinekhoodekful Tbh i only learned of what each of the passive/active abilities are that you get for improsining Lords while playing so i had no idea that Grom provides a major benefit, however even if i did it most likely would not have made much of a difference as he died pretty early on without me ever fighting him.

All of the Elves Present are Noble Born, so the Standing/Flying around or lack of, very lore Accurate "which one of us is the actual General", High Elf table top rule, pretty much all characters (hero/lord) one of them at random is the army general.

[@Bolty206]

Regarding the 'Ruined Shelter' ability being available despite there being no Chaos prisoner, I would not be surprised if that happened because they captured a Chaos Dwarf prisoner, as I recall their benefit being bugged in a way where it does not go away after the prisoner has gone, as it normally should. Also, surprised this submission didn't have the ability for capturing Grom - giving all 4 armies their own ability to heal without a caster would have made this even more overpowered than it already was.

Can confirm haven't needed to send in a disaster battling years due to Legend of Total Wars advice

you dont need mods to create this situation, you can ally those nation and tell them to move their armies to defend the same region, once all armies get there, you betray them and decleare war on them

Those were some pretty nice cinematic shots. Like someone else already commented, I have also never seen the Thunderbarge die animation and was quite impressed how cool it looks.

[@newlifejapan]

Knights of Tor Gava l - strongest Doom Stack, strongest Doom Swarm. Just glorious units.

[@De_Wit]

A lot of good things where only in Medieval 2. Visible armour upgrades, radical weapons progression, hidden parts of the map, stepped castle defences requiring siege weapons, non butt ladders. Good times.

[@googleandsusansucks]

Are you referring to the new world when saying "hidden parts of the map"?

[@mertakpnar5858]

You make the game more enjoyable with these kinds of armies. I can't play games with different armies anymore.

[@zackdines]

I actually found the battle harder to follow in cinematic mode; I think it was the lack of health bars.

[@ArturoLopez-ly2pn]

Honestly, your advice has genuinely helped me do better in battles and avoid bad situations in the campaign, my micro is still not the best, but strategic decisions help to mitigate that

[@arreat1993]

Superb Doom Swarm, not sure if you already covered but would love to see a Kirov Airship Swarm as well. ^^

[@Vagras1990]

Making this doomswarm was definately impressive. However for me doomswarms that are much easier to make are more interesting. Spamming crappy units like bats, archers or even better but still easily replacable ones i.e. Vargheists, necrofex. Have you considered playing other Total War games from time to time for more variety? I loved Shogun 2 (FOTS especially), but other historical TW are great too.

[@arthanor9631]

Some of the knights just couldn't be bothered to fight in a battle with such a foregone conclusion 😂 Impressive armies, and the idea of healers under AI control sound interesting, especially for Bretonnia.

[@Appel1989]

Maybe an idea to make a short video of how to send you a video? Ofcourse google can help but I can imagine that people will hesitate when they have to spend a while to find a way to find the save file. I think that will provide with more disaster battles 😊

So many cool features in Medieval 2 that should have been added to the warhammers by now. They must have been delusional to think deleting them made the game less complicated

[@SnowAngel2040]

A likely reason why the Medieval 2 Ai command thingy didn't make it into any other games. Medieval 2 was the last total war on its engine, they swapped to a new engine for the games that came after.

[@tenchimuyo69]

While it wasn't great, this was a reminder that MTW2 gave you the ability to lead AI armies along side your own. Keeping them on the enemies flank seemed to be a decent way to handle it if you had to use it.

[@pocket_sand6645]

This swarm is kinda.. unnecessary? You could YOLO any 4 armies with just one stack of KoTG, swarming them is too much of an overkill

No such thing as unnecessary if it's cool AND powerful.

[@user-qd5sz1bo1p]

[@BlacK40k]

Swarm stack is swarm stack, doesn't matter if the troops are good individually

[@calebafile4306]

At that many turns in a campaign, nothing is necessary. It's all for fun and whatever you wanna do at that point.

[@billybob01234567]

Thunderbarge doomstack would still slap them about

[@Clem35530]

14:40 I believe Tor Yvresse has a special building (being Tor Yvresse and all) which makes the starting limit 2 or 4 for the Tor Gaval bois.

[@patrickdaly1088]

As far as playing the game is concerned, I think the 4 model units are probably the strongest category. Because they're a multi-entity unit, any damage they take without taking casualties is ignored, and because there's so few of them, they're less likely to take stray casualties. They often have better mobility than both single entity and higher models/unit troops as well. idk what to even expect from doom swarm other than "That's a pretty beastmode army"?

[@Rakiael07]

Cool doomstack. I long to try it someday...

[@DaveFrags]

Good stuff! G day Legend and chat

[@changliu7346]

KoTG has always been imo the strongest doomstacks with actual units cause some of the hero stacks would be strongest obliviously. It’s just so hard to get the capacity for them that they’re essentially the same as hero stacks.

[@gregoryshinn9805]

Thanks for the video

[@mr.gandersson2835]

We really need a button that makes the allied AI more aggressive in combat. They're spending more time playing poker than fighting 6:30 Oh so it WAS a thing in another total war game but they decided that their superior AI didn't need it in TWWH3

[@googleandsusansucks]

Worse than that. No other new games had it, not even Shogun 2.

[@Cleanrotknight456]

And there's a bug that keeps abilities. Ruinshield is for chaos forces, possibly he did that with Scarbrand. And capacity increases only from buildings.

[@gi0vanni220]

Hi Legend, your videos show that Thunderbarges are very weak under AI control. Just fly to them and go in melee. Than they destroy themself by flying away with max speed activated. But a human should be much better with a Thunderbarge doomswarm.

[@imadork123]

I'm currently playing a Tor Yvresse campaign. I'm fairly certain the default cap for these is 2. So minimum 70 level 5 settlements to get there.

[@samarkand1585]

Who do you think would win, this doom swarm vs the dread saurian swarm?

[@borbarad2.0]

I am for a Limit on Unit Tier for Doomswarms, if a Unit is already a near unbeatable Doomstack, i see no use in making it a swarm. I find the concept of a Doomswarm more in the Swarm aspect, so many Units of low individual Value so buffed up, that they become Powerful.

[@silvanpriester3095]

personally I've had 4 allied armies in the same battle a few times! but not at that strength level those armies have XD

[@InfiniteBoredom149]

4 stacks of 90% ward save Arcane Phoenixes. Blob them up together and the KoTG have no chance, would be a massive grind though since the Phoenixes cap at 580 WS and they dont have a lot of melee attack for a SEM
