[@ConquestCreations]

Forgot to add it in the video but Alex was proxying his Delgamar as Dalamyr, shame on him!

Man, what an awesome batrep! Really enjoyed watching a couple of masters go head to head. Keep it up, Jacob!

[@davidlambert5440]

More like this mate, competitive reports from you are great

[@ConquestCreations]

Thank mate! I have been stuck in a bit of a limbo. I am very excited for the new edition but am holding off Conquest Champions S4 until it comes out

[@landostael3508]

​@@ConquestCreationsyou shouldn't I think S4 needs to be an epic final of this set of rules, including everything that will probably go away Adding something like: VP's scored if you consistently use special strikes etc. That way we get a final goodbye from a set of rules we all loved ❤

[@kangaroo8858]

tbh this was the best video you made so far, very fun watching competetive in a good quality

[@poqqsgaming5929]

Amazing video Jacob. These are the best videos you produce, this type of thing and the conquest champions league. So interesting seeing how top players analyse and play the game

[@Wimbl3r]

Both armies are incredible, and so well painted! Such pure delight for the eyes! Can't wait to see the video❤

[@oliverluxon6211]

Really enjoyed this! Especially the more detailed start!

[@mattlawrinson2428]

Excellent video Jacob - one of your best yet!

[@halvorlarsen2708]

Fantastic video! Really would like more frequent uploads though. Hope you figure out your studioproblems!

[@DannyStuart]

Lovely battle report. It was a little bit painful seeing all the massive kill potential of those cavalry go unused for most of the game though! A flank around the burned out house could have been devastating! But then, I'm a greedy and aggressive player - they could have been shot to bits.

[@jamesharrison1579]

Great video! The only thing that made me mad was that I've been painting my Lothlorien army blue and gold, and now I wish I had seen your color scheme first! Looks awesome

[@joshmortimer3831]

Great Video. Lothlorien are my favourite army. but I do feel for Alex on this one.

[@tiberiuscodius5828]

Even considering the result, those Silmaril dice are cracked

[@SamHarding-ip9yb]

Really great video! What a close one!

[@twistedphoenix]

"no magic" Runs Galadriel ... k Jokes aside. great show. loved watching it!

[@darchensol5112]

as a corsair player i can say that elves are absolutely the right choice. (knife ear gits) but think i would have gone pure rivendell as a better counter. cirdan gets you blinding light for cheaper plus combat buffs and someone like elrond or glorfindel gives you a real edge over his combat heroes. also the army bonus makes your shooting even nastier.

[@ConquestCreations]

My first thought was Cirdan. The blinding light and Aura of Dismay would have been very helpful however I was limited by the models in my collection and haven't gotten my hands on a Cirdan yet!

[@repthe21st66]

While I enjoy thematic armies I also would love to be educated into competitive, cut-throat army lists/gameplay every now and then.

[@braveryisavirtue]

Great bat rep. Maybe next time build lists for each other. See who comes out on top with very sub-optimal lists.

[@caesar-m22]

Best bat-rep videos in the MESGB scene Jacob! Always and instant click and instant Like

[@borkman5576]

Man this was one of the best battle reports, love competitive insights, but totally not a huge fan of list tailoring though. Beautiful models on both ends!

[@onemisterfranko]

"I'm breaking these rules." Oh dear.

[@montelugo3908]

Nice battle rep !

[@KNYonTOP-b7x]

Hey Jacob, new MESBG player looking to get started got any tips?

[@lutzeichmeyer9338]

Filthy list tailoring😂. Corsairs did incredibly well considering that. One can really tell why Alex is the Lord of the Aussies!

[@MtnGoatGaming]

I tried! 😅Definitely a tough matchup, and in most tournaments the elves would have run out of time. But in the end everything coming down to a few courage tests and Dalamyr dying was a close one! -Alex

[@aazron87]

Was it me or did Jacob use a Citadel Guard for a Royal Guard dismount 🤔

[@ConquestCreations]

I can neither confirm nor deny

[@OGEETOMO]

I will never understand the logic of magic is bad, but 14 bows and 2 siege engines is fine.

[@pineomt]

Why is “magic bad”?

[@OGEETOMO]

@@pineomt By bad i mean the perception that it's somehow unfair or OP. IF you watch a lot of MESBG aussie content this seems to be the view but a million bow shots and siege engines are W/E.

[@pineomt]

@@OGEETOMO then I realized he has a general list building rule against magic…I don’t get it either.

[@MtnGoatGaming]

I think the point Jacob was making wasn't that magic overall was bad, but that in his opinion Transfix (and the transfix that occurs after a compel) isn't a good mechanic for the game. -Alex

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment, in my list writing rules I said I also don't like armies that rely on shooting. 14 bows and 2 siege engines in very significantly worse than a magic heavy army. Other Aussie KZbinrs may think that shooting armies are fine but I am 100% the opposite. Shooting heavy armies are very unfun in my opinion.

[@NießbraucherNick]

Did you do the Auto Standfast of Galadriel?😅

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment, I did, there are plenty of rolls that occur off camera. This game took over 2 hours to play so we needed to cut lots out

[@kentonbiffert2802]

I dunno, I think Kylie from the green dragon is pretty good.( maybe better than Alex)

[@star_wars_miniatures]

She’s the Magnus Carlson of the MESBG world in my opinion 😅

[@MtnGoatGaming]

No argument there. Kylie is definitely the strongest player is Aus, and gotta give her credit for helping me become a better player too! Although we probably need a rematch soon.... Alex

[@ConquestCreations]

I haven't seen Kylie win any tournaments in 2024 so there is no way she could be the current National Champion. I have mainly seen her coordinating tournaments this year, being on the TO panel for Clash of the Titans and Masters

[@zaleth]

Lets fcking goooo!

[@stethespaniard2]

Not exactly a fair match when you know what your opponent is bringing

[@Ajfmaizy]

That was the point (:

[@MtnGoatGaming]

Definitely not a fair match! But it's always good to be tested, and playing against a list like that definitely did the job! Alex

[@jakemaclaine]

Fair doesn’t make the internet

[@stethespaniard2]

@@jakemaclaine yes it does. There are countless fair games of this on KZbin

[@mtuktuk9627]

Best Australian player versus best Australian youtuber player. Pin me to stir the other KZbinrs

[@RobsW23]

Did you change audio for this video? It sounded a bit off

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for this comment, it is very helpful to get feedback like this. I accidentally reset the microphone and recording settings in-between filming the body of the Battle Report and the intro and didn't manage to match them perfectly

[@michaelthurley1651]

Rohan can cheese most lists. Rohan is really good... even Jacob can win using Rohan this proves they only have blue matches... says an isengard player...

[@BaneChain236]

Alex trash talking Elf players to then immediately lose to Elves on KZbin for all to see makes me so happy

[@MtnGoatGaming]

Elves still just as boring as before! Alex
