Possible Total War:Warhammer Factions The Wood Elves Army

[@spacewolfblackmane19]

I for one cannot wait for the elves to be added so that way I can make them a highly endangered species because as we all know elves cannot be trusted

[@bravo7976]

ive always hated dlc.......but fuck i just want to throw them money

[@martinsgakke]

Total war games already have units that can move and shoot at the sametime. They are called horse archers. "Can you imagine an entire army that shoots at you while moving away from you?" Ghengis Khan could. And it is annoying, also infuriating and terrifying =P

[@trrebi981]

Well, remember those are foot archers, whose range is usually a whole lot more than the usual horse archers, who can move faster. It would make it more conceivable for archers to escape from/take out cavalry running them down.

[@jakobschoning7355]

Tristan Bigornia Well it is told that the Sassanid foot archers where abled to do something like a parthian shot while running away, although nobody seems to know how they did this.

[@forren9299]

Gakgaming he meant foot archers rather then mounted archers

[@butthead3722]

ROYAAAAAAAAAAL SCYTHIAAAAA

[@nasserm20]

+Gakgaming that's not how mongols fights .... it's just how CA thinks they fight lol

[@dank_smirk2ndchannel200]

The Wood Elves; for when you want to make an army composed of the fantasy equivalent of A-10 Warthogs.

[@Nonsense010688]

I hope that A) the wood elves will come and B) that the animation of units like the war dancers will be amazing.

[@Lucitaur]

Hmmm... After watching this, I'm kinda surprised that Wood Elves don't have a mist creating magic since that sounds like a perfect thing for them. Not only it would help them hide, but it could also be used to make everything moist, meaning that fire attacks wouldn't be as effective.

[@Nonsense010688]

For those who like nightmares: imagine you must attack a city/town or even just a hill against wood elves.

[@SinerAthin]

Si Wi If Warhammer artillery is anything like Attila artillery, you'll be safe. Just bring some Large Onagars(or their Warhammer equivalents) and demolish their formations from afar :P

[@guildmasterwigglytuff235]

SinerAthin any artillery the chaos dwarfs bring, you'll just make the hill or fort stop existing

[@Turinnn1]

Playing Mortal Empires... squad of 80 great eagles makes me giggle.

[@Bubba_Dub]

It would be cool and interesting if you gave the tree units the ability to remain undetected while in forests unless they move/attack. Invisibility while stagnant.

[@wraithface4410]

Love these warhammer fantasy lore shame you don't make them anymore :/

[@rasmussalen3363]

You are starting to get recommended and referred to by both youtubers and commenters. That is great!

[@SMIDSY609]

If/when we see the Wood Elves in TWW... I hope they get a "corruption" system like the Vampires and Chaos... this would be the spreading of trees and not normal corruption... but it could be fun to be the hippy and cover the land in forest... this would also make sense from a fluff point (kind of)... the Wood Elves fights a lot better when in trees... so they should get a bonus there... both for fighting and hiding in woods... they can in the table top game make forests grow on the battlefield so why not on the campaign map... the only thing is the waystones that keeps Chaos out... but also keeps the forest from going crazy (or more crazy anyway)... and the small fact that Wood Elves are isolationists... but I hope we do see them since they and Bretonnia are my favorite factions...

[@alphaprawns]

100% agree with this, covering the lands in forest would also give the Wood Elves a lore reason to expand out beyond Athel Loren.

[@jeova0sanctus0unus]

what he said.

[@d180jnr]

It should do attrition damage for other factions (as the woods are quite nasty) not as much as vampire or chaos but some that would make enemy armies think twice about marching through, It should also spread slower than the other two kinds, but it should be harder to get rid off.

[@elbeillustration762]

7 years later, as a wood elf total war player, lots of this is accurate. Pre-patch your settlement buildings and leg lord red line skills allowed you to create absolute monster Waywatchers (and basically everyone else). Can handle final chaos uprising with 1 or 2 stacks if you're smart enough to withdraw when you run out of arrows.

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

After wathcing the trailer I had to come here.

[@freycomm35]

Orion - King of Compose Heap

[@garvielloken3929]

Just BINGE re playing, commenting and liking (after the hack) .. ..

[@Celadil]

can't wait for the woodelves to be in TWW. they are going to be my fav faction for sure, thanks for the video arch!

[@spacewolfblackmane19]

Shizuya so how are they, and who is your favorite hero

[@tombouric]

Anyone else coming back here since Wood Elves were announced?

[@tomashennessy5617]

Thomas Bouric ye i hav

[@williamsharp202]

Damn Right, thought id remind myself on what kind of New Cool Units they got!

[@shmee123ful]

Thomas Bouric me

[@fxbeliever123]

As I await the release of TWW, so far this is the only channel that provides a reasonable amount of info on the lore.

[@zeddtakashi671]

Damn 45 minutes....*gets comfy*

[@Stoic_Zoomer]

Zedd Takashi shit man I think this is the shortest one!

[@zeddtakashi671]

Sir Dude Haha yea, it will be interesting how they would put in the wood elves, i mean anything with fire would do well against them, and lore wise they dont expand.

[@Stoic_Zoomer]

Zedd Takashi looks like they're going to have to do some lore bending.

[@traberian]

Sir Dude arch is slacking!!!!

[@trrebi981]

Sir dude, maybe the forest will naturally attempt to expand itself.

[@Nonsense010688]

I think you can boost the deepwood scouts (around 25:42) by simply giving them things like: can walk while hiding, can shoot while hiding in woods ect.

[@Jinisinsane]

massed savage orc archers are annoying enough to deal with, imagine some heavy hitting archer elves with insane speed skirmishing you to death lol.

[@d180jnr]

That should be the wood elves strength, amazing ranged and magic. To balance this they should have shit armour and infantry

[@michaelkeha]

Just do what I do when I face Wood elves on the table top which is get my dark elves stuck into melee with them and enjoy as the wood elf player realises things have gone horibbly horribly wrong more so when he glade lord comes face to face with my dragon riding dreadlord.

[@lokenontherange]

I expect that IF they include Waywatchers they'll be a unit of 120 archers with just really high damage stats and increased range and accuracy. Basically I would expect them to be just the Cretan Archers but better from Rome 2, though possibly with a limit on how many each nation can recruit, rather like they did with the Coldstream Guards from Empire Total War. Arch while I find this series highly entertaining I would encourage you to (if you're still doing something similar) remember that CA is fundamentally lazy and will just stick to the same systems they always have if they can. Tree folk will likely be placed in the same numbers as you saw the trolls were in during the Black Fire Pass battle (units of eight I think) and if your unit isn't a flying general expect it to be sniped by "cannon fire" like the giant was...

[@Arbaaltheundefeated]

Poppycock, Dwarf Rangers are the best skirmishers. It's just so entertaining when (usually) less experienced players think that a ranged skirmishing unit is by default a great target to go for with their light melee cavalry. Taking a penalty-free Stand & Shoot reaction to the face followed by the effects of piling into a unit of deceptively heavily armored Dwarves with great weapons will painfully teach them otherwise.

[@alphaprawns]

Mmmmm, Shield Wall...

[@Xwarman343X]

Tree Singing is the spell that moves the wood. loved using it in the old version, but now...never used it.

[@BrechtTomme]

Thanks for making these videos. I suspect they're very useful for people getting into Warhammer with all this Total War hype. But holy Isha, units of 10 Treemen? 40 Great Eagles?! My tabletop mind can't handle that! :P

[@silasschneider2766]

I think that it would be cool if the eternal guard came in two units one with shields for a little more defense and one with the two pointed spear and no spear for more attack, that would act more like falxmen from Attila.

[@captainteutonica5474]

This is getting quite cathartic indeed. Still; It's Friday, where's my video Arch?

[@TrueMokael]

In Attila you can have an army of Huns mounted archers, moving and constantly shooting. So won't be surprised if CA does it for Wood Elves.

[@ArchYouTube]

TrueMokael the difference is that the wood elves can do that with infantry unites, so you have twice as many moving bow men AND they fire magical arrows.

[@TrueMokael]

Arch Warhammer ah, I see the problem now .... Thanks!

[@jrodowens]

Man those Glade Guard (am I correct?) Wood Elf miniatures with the winter camo are fucking SICK

[@Dr_St3iner]

DO CHAOS DWARFS! i am so curious about them

[@ArchYouTube]

IamMcAsshole Soon TM

[@brandymadrigal107]

Arch Warhammer PLEASE do Dwarfs Lore and Military Tactics before you do Chaos Arch. I beg of you!

[@ArchYouTube]

Genn Greymane already done chaos! dwarf video is uploading now

[@brandymadrigal107]

Arch Warhammer Yes! You're the man!

[@yuripantyhose4973]

19:50 Repeater Crossbows have 24inch range and Long Bow have 36inch range

[@yuripantyhose4973]

Wild Rider mounted+shield gives +3 armor save whereas bretonnian Knight have +2 armor save so not much difference depending on what army you are facing

[@stopmotiongarage220]

FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!

[@jakobschoning7355]

I dont think that ignoring all armour is equal to instant kill, cause as Tyrion Lennister said: "a (little) man with a great shield can drive an archer crazy" :D

[@AMasondude]

All you need for an entire army of archers is just an entire army of cavalery or chariots ^^

[@Etzlo1]

archers that move while shooting annoying? welp, empire has cavalry that shoots while moving

[@sand4839]

Units that can simultaneously move and fire with little to no accuracy lost wouldn't be something new to the series (Rome: Total War [1] - Hoard Cav. Archers). The issue would be making sure it worked in the new engine (At least I haven't seen if they brough them over to Total War: Rome 2). I think they way they end up at least somewhat balancing it in Rome: Total War was to limit the amount of ammo they would carry?

[@Dwarfurious]

Everything hits like a ton of bricks >: | oh hey know what else hits like a ton of bricks?... Mortars :D! get it? GET IT? Dwarf humor! wooo

[@DarkLordOfSweden]

you are joining the slayers for that joke, have fun

I think i fulfilled my slayer oath by telling that joke man, honor restored

[@sic6603]

+Dwarfurious They joke was so bad that you died on the inside?

[@yuripantyhose4973]

Lvl 4 treeman life ancient can be devestating With thunderstomp and can heal himself With every spell cast.

[@Exidius07]

Great video, played some WE a few years ago and would love to see them in Total Warhammer (Hope they do it better than their Last Game, or the one before , or the one before ,or the one before (even thou this and the one before weren't THAT bad) or the one before )

[@pranakhan]

Some fantastic looking figures!

[@Mateo-oq7ui]

CA alredy implemented moving archers. The horse skirmishers. And although they are annoying if you are not using them (I still remember myself playing Rome 1 and hating the very existence of Numid horsemen), the elves would move and shoot at man (or elf) speed, wich means that cavalry and maybe not very armored humans could be able to catch them and beat the crap out of them as they very well deserve.

[@GideonGleeful95]

+Mateo Pedro Gonzale de Azcuenaga Yes, but they've not done foot archers that can do this. That's what Arch meant.

[@Mateo-oq7ui]

Randygandalf95 It wouldn't be that hard to make, though.

[@yuripantyhose4973]

you keep forgetting thunderstomp :P kinda the only reason monsters are worth anything.

[@mystrion9351]

I think the Ranged Wood elfs would just mean having to constantly Use more ranged yourself (As an opponent.) Wood elfs shouldn't have Cav, and can't really out range the ranged units of the other factions (Unless that faction focus' on Cav or speed etc.). I'd assume they would be kinda like "Rise of the samurai" type units from Shogun 2 (Minus Cav, Plus Treants.)

[@paperclip181]

Man I just cant imagine that anyone would hate you xD awsome vids and comments xD plus your spelndid engels :p

[@mcmatrix58]

The Warhawks at 35:15 are magnificent as are some of those conversions. Where did you source those figs?

[@christopherfisher814]

Arch what other elf factions should we be expecting

[@Calvert1212]

christopher fisher they'll all be in the game later on, dark and high elves are the other 2

[@tomaszlosinski875]

I didn't really get your point with the archers being able to shoot while running. Rome and medieval total war have horse archers that can shoot while running and so if they're not too OP for total war then archers who cavalry can run down easier definitely won't be a problem.

[@Stsebastian8900]

how would they balance wood elves with like they have 7 (im going to say holdings) with in the forests compared to so many more towns and settlements and forts that the empire have . . elves

[@GideonGleeful95]

+sebastian langley Well the Vampire Counts have one Empire province and they're playable.

[@tictcha612]

Great video !

[@feelz_4_dayz885]

i can clearly see malfurion's inspiration

[@jgtogi6839]

Lol, these guys are taken from British/Celtic lore it is not exactly a revolution design.

[@beaubanhagel9658]

I tried them in tww Very overpowered shooting.

[@MrLePov]

It sounds like if you play as the Wood Elves you'll be letting the enemy come to you and the ambushing them with quick powerful units....... or showering them with arrows until they HAVE to come to you ;) Given the Vampire Counts have no ranged weapons, slow infantry, and the rest being monsters or cavalry (who are usually susceptible to ranged weapons), would it be fair to say that the Wood Elves would obliterate the Counts on the basis that they could endlessly run rings around them and pound them with arrow fire, and quickly take down their monster units?

[@takedashingjen4402]

fast flying units and the powerfull bloodknights would get them

[@davidsevenwow]

will you do tilea ? i think tilea is interesting faction

[@feyfrost8783]

What about forest dragons?

[@Ghostrebel017]

So form what I undrstand, The first Total War Warhammer game will have the Empire, The Vampire Counts, The Dwarves and the Orcs, with Chaos as a possible AI faction? The second one would be interesting if the Bretonia, Wood Elves, Skaven and something else from that region would be added.

[@ArchYouTube]

Ghostrebel017 Bretonnia, Wood Elves, Skaven and i would hope Tomb Kings, as the Bretonnians have several bones to pick both with the Tomb Kings and the Skaven

[@Ghostrebel017]

Are the Tomb Kings close enough to that region to be considered part of it? Though I'm sure you'll explain it in a vid about Tomb Kings :P

[@ArchYouTube]

Ghostrebel017 it will require a little good will to call them close enough, but they are the primary enemys of bretonnia so i hope to see them.

[@spamhonx56]

archers that are running away from you while shooting you... so, the mongols then? their horse archers are also medium cavalry, their heavy cavalry are also archers, their heavy infantry are also archers...

[@draconisthewyvern3664]

based on the way he described them i would not call them mongols..if anything mongols are more trolly...too much armor alright lets just knock him off the horse an start dragging his ass with this rope or hook.

Si Wi Cuz i don't do realy heroes and mounts no more, as we now know pretty much for sure that the only big heroes are gone be 1 special lord for each faction.

[@Nonsense010688]

Arch Warhammer Well I assumed that there would be a reason for it (hence the ""), but do we know that there will be only one named hero per race? We know that there will be at least one... Since they are gonna do quest, it could be wise to let some other named chars to show themselves as well (for interaction). Of course they could simply make no names up. Even if not, I would advise you to talk at least shortly over the mounts of a race because it would be thinkable that standard generals will be chars as well and will have the ability to use mounts (personal wish).

[@lindseyshamefur1282]

Azrail Its a mount I think.

[@dalleravn]

i could be nice but i hope the don't appere in the game, ore at least not as a playabel race for the sake of the lore. There wood elves wandere out of the foorest but, and entira army seems unlikely, and spend a campaign in the woods only figthing beastmen, migth get boring....

[@JizzMasterTheZeroth]

Possible factions? They're not doing all of them? It's not like there's a ton of them... fewer than the last two Total War games had from the beginning... that's just lazy CA... bet it's gonna be that fucking WarScape engine again as well. I almost forgot... it's of course so that they can sell those factions as DLC. If anyone in the industry should be accused of rehashing ideas, it should be CA.
