"Balt? What happened to you?" "I am completely OUT of ammo... that's never happened to me before."

[@nicholasreilly3218]

Underrated comment from a fellow Tremors connoisseur

[@frapp2510]

I didn't expect a bedroom advice from an artillery heavy army

[@Count.Saruman]

Balthasar Gelt is in command, what do you expect?

[@ttvv88]

Personally I think the pre-battle skirmishing phase is the most important part of any battle. So never skip the foreplay, men.

[@TheManofthecross]

@@ttvv88 fails

[@wolfie54321]

Also known as the "Zoolander Defence", because apparently the AI can't turn left.

[@AlexanderTheGoodEnough]

Wulfric, so hot right now.

[@i5m1thy]

"I don't care how many units you lose" Proceeds to win without a single casualty. Like damn you took that as a personal challenge lmao.

[@benbai5808]

he did perfect work here

[@leodiusd4858]

The norcans were on that imperial guard grind

[@fernando3662]

guardmaxxing

[@briantarigan7685]

don't be like that, Guard's artillery would blot out the sky

[@mrhamtastic3385]

Smells like norscan barbecue in here.

[@BluetubeRising]

Guess this is what happened during the ice ages huh

[@marcin7054]

My Empire doomstack was Empire captain on a Griffin, mage, 9 hellrocket artillery, 9 handgunners to deal with what hellrocket artillery couldn't manage to rout. It may be not perfect but deals great damage even if batttle is lost, and at some point Empire can raise 3 armies like this per turn if you have access to local building + global Handgunners.

[@GafferPerkele]

I can kinda guess what happened here. Tried to attack Pack Ice Bay from the sea, expecting easy settlement battle. Forgot that armies can't land on that settlement and have to spend 2 turns marching from a nearby beach head. Got stuck with no movement and enemies arrived during end turn. Cursed settlement, but also a good ambush spot for AI armies flooding to Norsca.

[@90snetworkproductions79]

*Tariff Norscan monkey noises intensify* *The Yao Ming Ming Norscan meme has been realized!!* Yao Ming: *"Why won't you..... DIE!!!!*

[@SoaringE4GLE]

Oh this map! My friend and I were doing a co-op and on this map the ai straight up decided it didn't want to attack us at the chokepoint. They went to the right side of the map by the river and then went literally under the map underwater. I still wonder when CA plans to bring submarines to the game, but I guess not yet huh? Edit: At 17:44 you can actually see the mammoth on the right, that was in the exact spot to try and go underwater. I wonder if it would have if it didn't turn around at the end there.

[@vinjarholennordvik3667]

In short "if they expect you to be smart, be as stupid as possible and fight on your terms" Actual qote from somebody that said it a way that actually sounds kinda cool,

[@hititmanify]

Sun tzu, u got the spirit.

[@BlizzardAcolyte]

I ADORED how the Mammoths kept the Mist Stalkers between them, forcing you to prioritize the former during the crossing and allowing them time to re-Stalk, even if it seems all they did with that opportunity in the end was tie Balthasar down Steam Tanks humiliating the Beserkers by basically farting the secondary ammo at them made me head hurt

[@quint3ssent1a]

Commander Kubrik Chenkov isekai'd in fantasy Norska, lol. SEND IN NEXT WAVE!

[@ShawnHCorey]

GG. "Never criticize the mistakes of your enemy. Exploit them."

[@roland228]

This is why you can't neglect including the humble Melee Infantry of The Empire.

[@dmitriyk.2890]

Good old "trick AO in chokepoint by putting forces on the side". On the other hand, damn, first time seeing just one big chokepoint.

[@victor1756]

This type of tactic Legend used in his older campaigns, especially with Tomb Kings, where are a lot of choke points battles in the middle. Additionally the enemy sometimes wonders on other side, easily to be thinned out by missile or magic. Good illustration of the AI abilities.

[@guillaume9102]

Urk having 14 single entities including 4 wizards but not one life spellcaster is a huge nono

[@Vahram-do5lo]

At this point I can't tell which one of legend's battle was more disastrous

[@Varloth]

His battle with CA

[@MasterObservato]

Interesting that the AI scouts out the forest even though all 20 units are in the open. Instead of... you know... fighting the units they can see.

[@Elliott13]

I can't believe you won that. Wtf. Should not have been possible. You're truly a God of total war

[@bommisenbromark3708]

It never gets old watching Legend take the AI for a ride. On a side note, any chance of you doing a random start run of warhammer 3 as a one off? More specifically the mod that also gives random global stat changes to your faction, to spice things up. If you already have i must've missed it, looked around your channel but never saw one.

[@waytothudawn]

What the fuck is up with the bots in the comments these days, this is almost maximum overdrive levels

[@ianover6838]

Where's the bots ?

[@user-th2it6vo9i]

Hey Legend Have you ever considered updloading disaster battles that you just could not win? I think it would be interesting to see, which battles are just not winnable, although the autoresolve gives a valiant/ close defeat.

[@user-th2it6vo9i]

Just to show us the limits of the cheese

[@gonkdroid9325]

he has before but usually (at least in tww3) there is some cheese to exploit in order to win. If he can't win, it should be obvious from the get go.

[@therasco400]

Just a note I know he missed this but the heros can replenish though the change of mount outside the army.

[@leshiq4214]

I've been watching your videos for so long, that from the moment I've heard"choke point" - I knew the solution!

[@trixyjinx6764]

i honestly think when in comes to spells costing 1 but actually costs 2.... it's actually something in the decimals which at times visibly take only 1 winds of magic and at times 2....

[@toobin8r]

TFW the Wizard runs out of spells AND runs out of shells.

[@a_latyshev]

That's actually an incredible result in this situation!

[@Pedro-zu3uq]

I have gone back to TWW2, the aggression in the map and the battles really makes the game more interesting.

[@n.e.g4865]

damn, if only it were a beastmen settlement battle.

[@hartze2345]

The bots are strong in this one...

[@imma5761]

Simpmar is helping them

[@ianover6838]

where bots?

[@DaGamingNeighbor]

“Paranoid by Black Sabbath intensifies”

[@sveinhongset4725]

somwhat large norska army:)

[@ViktorVaughn81]

This reminded me of Tremors 2 when the guy is “Completely out of ammo!!?”

[@booradley6832]

"I am COMPLETELY out of ammo...that's never happened to me before."

[@radec1906]

Reikland26 sounds like a rocking band name

[@DioSatyaloka]

It's not the "Size" of the army that matters, it's how you use it.

[@x0lopossum]

7:07 What unit is the one witg all the tiny mammoths, mammoth herd? 8:55 Legend clicks on theor nane here but its to blurry for me to read.

[@zeuses9754]

The Great Mawherd of bloodfjord, from what i can tell its a regiment of renown but idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i dont play norsca

[@wiIdcattm]

I do a similar tactic myself on this map. As epic as it may look, I generally can never hold the line at the choke point.

[@weowweoew]

time to watch this again the first time was a blast

[@KayGreylai]

I know this is old. But how could he tell the army losses happened before they started routing and without the balance of power bar at the top of the screen? Apologies for a potentially dumb question I am quite new to Total War games and dont know a lot.

[@Holy_Nocturne]

I might be wrong but there's a delay before a unit rout when they've got negative leadership so when he hovered his mouse on a unit he saw the army loss penalty on it.

[@KayGreylai]

@@Holy_Nocturne ok cool, thanks for the tip ill check it out.

[@ayhanfedai5013]

same thing happened to me in Medieval 2 . on a bridge battle full stack enemy against my few ground archer and cavalry archers and 1 unit infantry and general. tried to hold bridge but couldnt than moved to sides of the map and won with minimal causilties. I think they didnt change the ai much

[@spacesui-t]

A few Norscans 🗿

[@MrMkmarcus]

Shattered his pants 😂

[@andreigeorge328]

Hey legend will you do a video on the This month in total war, February 2024 post? The survey they posted talked about A LOT of things , problems and ideas that we could see come to life in the future, and i would like to know what you would want them to do and think would work, would not work etc. Maybe a video where u show the survey or talk about the contents in it would be good enough? Just a suggestion anyways! Great video as always!

[@deathcore_666]

19:55: well that's alot of damage

[@poisonedidiot4716]

Heres to hoping you can play Pharoah if you havn't already and make a video on your thoughts. I picked it up for 17$ on the gray market and have enjoyed it so far much to my surprise as I was also pretty upset over the launch.

[@camilrodriguezc]

"Close victory"

[@leshiq4214]

But, Legend, you're supposed to fight the choke pint battle at the check point, not abuse the underdeveloped AI! :)

[@samueldeane4903]

Tretch Craventail 0 defeat campaign when?

[@cybergeist8932]

Hey uh what happened to the Funny Lookin Handmaiden video?

[@Axiom_Dominus]

Why is the terrain made of bloom and tears?

[@booradley6832]

How have you been putting out advice for the same game for the better part of a decade and STILL I learn something the majority of the time? You know the game better than CA at this point I have little doubt.

[@73WARLORD37]

insane win

[@mefikFS]

I guess I in AI stands for long list of IF statements bots follow everyfight...

[@nunuarthas8680]

Don't underestimate ammo

[@willl676]

I forgot how bad the lighting was on certain maps with corruption going on. Reminder to never play this game without Ultimate Lighting 2.0.

[@fovarberma752]

... secondary ammunitions?

[@nonesuch6833]

WH3's AI is absolutely embarassing sometimes.

[@AvengerAtIlipa]

Small family company

[@pascaldifolco4611]

Invading Norsca without a Life wizard is kinda stupid/newb...

[@mihajlojankovic1497]

nice lol

[@pingouin3664]

Does that mean the AI is scripted in Warhammer? That’d be pretty cringe ngl

[@TheGreatDanish]

All video game ai is a script. Its not true ai. It's never been anything but a very advanced set of if-then statements.

[@JonahJdawg]

AI devs seething at every video

[@edwardroberts739]

That is stupid - surely you programme the AI to go after units, not areas of the map. This is not a capture the flag point battle ...

[@alexhousakos]

You skipped it thrice. He was wounded. I don't think named lords can die in any TW: WH game under Player control.

[@dreadreaver55]

He was looking for one of the missing heroes, not Balthasar Gelt bruh

[@liampokemaster]

Why is this guys Legendry lord lvl 15 on turn 99 wth.

[@mike-iq1bs]

because it is clearly not his legendary lord, being as he is tge empire, and geltz is not the leader of the empire, franz is, before you criticize, make sure to check simple information. my guess is, it was a late Confederation

[@liampokemaster]

bruh never said it was the faction leader and yes it is his legendary lord he confederated it lmao. Excellent mindless criticism. Even if it was a late confederation why is gelt not being leveled under A.I control? @@mike-iq1bs

[@liampokemaster]

Literally did not implicate any criticism. I am genuinely surprised Gelt is level 15 on turn 99 late confederation or not. I have never seen a legendary lord past turn 50 not above level 25.

[@mike-iq1bs]

that is not true at all, when you say his legendary lord it implies the leader of the faction, don't play word games because you didn't notice a simple fact.@@liampokemaster

[@liampokemaster]

Yes surely your assumptions and fabrications about the intention of my statement justify whatever position most gratifies your superiority and my ignorance.

[@huntermanikas6881]

Did you hear majorkill doesn’t give a shh about you or any other KZbinr as long as he gets to milk some drama from it ? Super great guy. Hope he doesn’t get doxxed or anything 😚😁
