Collapse of a Campaign

[@konsmiddel]

Hope Legend does more of these long fixes tbh. I miss Legend streams, but watching this made me realize how much nicer it is to watch him just talk to himself and play the game instead of constantly pausing to answer questions and being derailed and annoyed by repeat questions or negative questions

[@maxpower3990]

But then you don’t see Angry Legend.

[@konsmiddel]

@@maxpower3990 Getting an angry Legend rant here and there is fun enough, but having him constantly pause battles to answer questions or sit for 5-10 min and just talk about some "controversy" he has to explain for the 15th time that stream ruins the flow of the game a lot. Much more enjoyable to watch him just play, reminds me of pre-stream days where Lets Plays and Playthroughs was more common then live streams

[@tamaskrajcsi6734]

I dislike the huge amount of autoresolve battles. Back in WH2 that was better.

[@georgeagdgdgwngo4801]

Nah dude wh2 was rough, you'd have to constantly fight battles bcoz the auto resolve was fucked. even though your 20 stack was huge the game was like naaaaaah these gobbos are really strong too, best fight this one.

[@unmeclambda5837]

fully agree, this is why I never really liked the few streams I watched, along with the absence of challenge since there was never someone to fuck up the campaign before him so he could make all the optimal decisions right from the get go

[@nonesuch6833]

I tell you what, clocking in for what promises to be a very boring six hour shift at my job and discovering Legend has concurrently posted a six hour disaster campaign video has really made everything feel a lot better.

[@kurunta01]

Same here all hail Legend

This. Was. AWESOME. Strategy, Tactics, Economics, Diplomacy, Economy... what more do you want in a TWWH vid? I could have watched another 2 hours at least, this was almost as good as a live stream only without the nause of the beginning of the campaign. I would happily watch 2 more of this because it just hit everything I want from TWWH content. Awesome choice on this one and sublime to watch. More of this type of content, please Legend.

[@fazalamin6379]

I actually quite like saving disaster campaigns cuz you usually have a very good start and it in most cases goes well so these campaigns are so much more fun to watch

[@scorbiot]

Assad should send his campaign to Legend, but I doubt even he could save it.

[@ANDREALEONE95]

That campaign is unsalvageable no matter what.

[@splattbinat1542]

Shit you beat me to it

[@JohnSmith-io1kc]

Brother cooked.

[@edinson1613]

Assad just needs to turn it down from legendary difficulty.

[@lightworker2956]

Quite a hard campaign with US forces illegally looting Syrian oil and depriving that revenue to Assad. What, CNN didn't tell you that the US was illegally looting Syrian oil?

[@fakemessiah9415]

i absolutely love these longer disaster campaigns been watching for years and still learn something new every time you bring us one of these I guess we all have to fuck up more so we can get more of these

[@Omertahun]

"I've made a mistake. Slight mistake. Critical fail." I fucking love Legend

[@GametheGame]

This is quite the nice thing to watch on two reasons. First reason: This video teaches how players (new or old) can sort wars and generally campaign mechanics out. Second reason: We get to see Legend not start on perfect start. Don't get me wrong, I do love watching how Legend starts the campaign because it gives me an idea on what will happen in general if I choose a certain faction. But, it is strangely entertaining to watch him trying to fix and help newer players.

[@Garret007]

Reading out that email reply from the other guy was nice, I feel like you should do that again, if you get a reply! :D

[@brandoninacan2475]

This will take me 5 days to watch in full, not complaining. Really enjoying your content Legend!

[@elpoiro]

People saying Legend is too harsh probably never watched old school Legend from years ago.

[@fakemessiah9415]

some people never got called a fucker and it shows :D

[@maxpower3990]

I know, he never even calls us Fuckers anymore.

Old School Legend Voice was hilarious. I guess it must have been before puberty.

For real. Current Legend is so much more chill than old Legend. Old Legend was a menace 😂

[@potterstinks6841]

3:46:00 This is actually the part I really enjoy because it’s really great to see someone else’s reasoning for why they’re choosing certain skills. And why they choose not to pick some others Gives me a different insight on the skill trees

[@matthewkroner5791]

Loooove these long disaster campaigns you’re doing. It really scratches that itch that I’ve been missing from when you live streamed more often.

[@icollectbadgers]

These longer videos for saving disaster campaigns are great, I hope we keep getting more of them.

[@zephyruspring]

I quite enjoyed this video format. It's like a stream without the constant nonsense from the live chat. I'd be interested in watching a regular campaign from you in this format.

[@Zallazar]

I like how Legend is calling all Legendary Lords by full name and is talking to his units as if he is on the battleground with them. keep up the good work i like it AND i learn a lot by watching aswell, thank you .

[@peterwright5311]

I think CA made settlement trading really expensive so the player couldn't just buy settlements, but players are obviously taking advantage of this to sell worthless settlements for a fortune to the AI.

[@BlackOptx]

It's nuts how little CA thinks about updates and changes. Either they could embrace it or actually test stuff lmao

[@personsomeone2760]

I had a Boris horde campian. Kept moving and selling settlements, you know how funny it is attacking someone to wipeout their army steal a settlement and lowered their power enough that selling it gives you a defensive alliance with them

[@DillsyYourDaddy67]

@@BlackOptx It's hilarious because I don't ever remember settlement trading being this broken back in Rome 1 or Medieval 2. Don't get me wrong, the AI made some crazy bonkers decisions back then, but I don't think settlement trading was ever one of them. It was still exploitable but not this bad I don't believe

[@lightworker2956]

Yep. There are always people asking for things like selling / buying settlements, and peace / trade deals where both sides get and lose things. But the problem is that the AI just isn't smart enough, so whatever balance point the designers set, players will be able to abuse it, making the deal either one way or the other way.

[@mephorash806]

Very enjoyable watch. Since normal campaign starts are not hard enough anymore for Legend this was more fun

[@billreed2750]

The real challenge of this campaign was the pronunciation of essays. All honesty though, I absolutely love this format. It provides a lot of insight into how you grapple with the game's mechanics in a coherent fashion, and for people with some hours in the game but still a far cry from skilled, is better than any tutorial in terms of showing what you really can do with a grasp of the underlying systems that operate the game's mechanics. While I'm sure producing this may have had its challenges, it is and was helpful and entertaining. Thank you for taking the time to show as much as you did that can be used to turn a campaign around.

[@jony_tough]

True. The perfect display of how powerful diplomacy can be. I've never triend playing like this.

[@ericement6568]

Any other content creator posting a 6h long video would make me think "no way in hell i'd watch that" but when its Legend i manage to shove that time out of my day somehow. I have no clue as to why or how your content is not only that great, but that great for 6 hours straight. Legend of KZbin might be a suitable name

[@pacocheung1864]

Love this crazy long disaster video Legend, reminds me of your older full campaign saving livestreams. If the guy doesn't continue it after you send it back, please do keep the campaign going! Always amazing to watch you spend hours saving a sinking ship and turning the whole thing around

[@endritmorina3335]

2:24:54 every time Legend inhales like that i know he's about to say something he's gonna regret saying.

5 hours??? omg, this is gonna be lovely. Grabbing some snacks xD Also, 1 minute and already a slannesh bot, damn.

Legend is amazing but I doubt he would be able to fix this mess. This campaign was already lost when they decided to recruit special russian unit but forgot they disband instantly when the autoresolve doesn't show decisive victory lol.

I have not yet finished the video, 2 hours in but I love this long SYDC format. Battles are fun and all but all thr diplomacy and campaign map shenanigans are both entertaining and educational, it's an amazing watch already! Especially building back up from a crappy start and without chat interruptions, it's great

Me after I lose a tier 2 unit out of one of my 5 20 stack armies:

[@kirkmyers2116]

I hate losing units, ive repeated so many battles because I lost 1 shit unit lol. I think it comes from Shadow of Horned Rat on Playstation. That game is ruthless, very limited troop replenishment so even medium casualties can destroy your game in late stage. They fixed in in Dark Omen thankfully, unlimited replenishment as long as you have the gold.

1:15:30 Hey Legend, I don't know if it is your style or not, but have you ever considered creating a primer for new, or at least 'newer' players that show little details like specific campaign mechanics, tool-tip icon meanings, , or figuratively 'hidden' uses of diplomacy? It'd be a GREAT help all around...
