Its about the different Perspectives, so at first he meant its good enough to get out there and break the siege, in the battle he meant the army is not good enough to just rush at them or let them come and finish them off, he needed to harass them with grom and the hag, with a doomstack he could just let them come and beat them without casulties.

[@saltedllama2759]

When that -25% movement range event arbitrarily hit you, I was reminded of all the cheats the AI tries to throw at the player. It's always timed "perfectly" too: Just about to finish off an enemy? They get confederated by someone you're not at war with. Just about to conquer the last settlement to complete a province, or perhaps use as a sack settlement for leveling? Your ally, or non-aggression cohort takes it instead; and they're not the same race so you can't confederate them. Just about to catch an army that's been running away from you? Movement penalties out of nowhere. Almost have public order under control? Unhappy populace event for no reason.

[@MrEddie4679]

funny that you meantioned that, beacuse i got that but the game like went "you can either have public order which you need, or how about CASH?" lets just say, there are alot of rebellions i need to handle every turn :)

[@thatsbetoman]

confederations happen because when you are close to eliminating a faction, they are significantly weakened thus easier to confederate by the AI so not really all that random

[@MCshadr217]

What a lot of people don't understand is that the AI, well at least in the grand campaign map, have machine learning capabilities. If you defeat a much larger army? They'll bring more elite troops. You hold a city without losing it ever? They'll bring more then 3 armies to deal with it. They lost to an ambush in a particular area? It'll now avoid said area or at least check for ambushes. There's other things too. Now, is this some technology that continues to grow? No. From what I've seen at least, it's only for the campaign you're currently on. It's similar to procedural generation and how that works, but it's more with the AI and what it does/thinks. I mean, just think about it. How would you even randomize a vast amount of AI factions to do similar to what the player does? There's some hardcode still so obviously it's not going to be smart. But either way, it does very much so have machine learning capability.

Order tide needs a buff.

[@Grivehn]

Some people actually advocate that unironically. At this point if I mod the game, I rather skip Order faction only mods, like Empire heroes, to not add to the unbalance. At this point, the entire 'Order united' when Chaos comes should just be removed as it is. High Elves/Dark Elves and Dwarf/Greenskins finally seem sorta balanced. Even the Empire seems to lose to Vampires sometimes. Although Empire and Dwarf will still win lategame - but at least now they can get rekt early game fairly easily. The problem again is Bretonnia. Surrounded by Ulthuan and the Empire. - And both of those giants will declare war if somebody messes too hard with Bretonnia. With a weak as fuck Norsca to the north, Wood Elves who barely do anything, nonexistent Beastmen, a weak Clan Skryre and a eunuch VCoast to the south. And easy confeds usually resulting in them having the Southlands for free. Louen - with 4 settlements, was rank 3 in my last game. Outclassing Tyrion with entire Ulthuan under his belt. Seriously, wtf kind of balance is that? Then ofc he got Southlands for free because Repanse took it. Because Tomb Kings are also mostly worthless as an AI faction and cant stand up to any Order race. Grom isnt even there at Bretonnia on ME, and the 2 Vcounts cant do crap to stop them, nor can Norsca. Bretonnia itself is in a good spot if a player plays it. But as AI, their autoresolve can beat Dwarfes (both on offense and defense, both on field and in sieges)- but at this point Empire Autoresolve is definitely the strongest. Ordertide became Mantide. - Lorewise fucking nonsense, if you ask me. Bretonnia AI needs something to fuck it up permanently. - That could be a stronger Wood Elf and/or Beastmen presence, but that likely wont come anytime soon. Norsca rework might also do wonders, if they could occupy every city, build walls and wouldnt suffer massive penalties on human forest/field lands - they are also human for Sigmar's sake. Dont tell me that they prefer freezing their balls off and they'd be angry at the sight of the sun and green fields near their villages. Ppl can come with how different their campaigns were, but for me- modded or unmodded, Ordertide (more like Mantide now) still wins each time. And yeah, at this point I have a steady grudge against Bretonnia, because them being the 2nd best AI faction in the game is a goddamn joke. - Also, Empire is number 1. because of its artillery and because they always get to own the entire Empire pretty easily. They do have enough powerful enemies, but the thing is with Disorder, they fight between themselves, while Order does not. Its inevitable that Order wins each time merely because of that.

[@apocolototh1948]

Theres another big point: trade. The order factions get slight eco boosts from it, as well as huge diplo boosts, which reduces the ai-infighting and enables the tide.

[@michaeld2730]

When I play "evil" factions I tend to focus on 1 of the 3 and eliminate them early. Started a skyre campaign and I went straight for angrand to border princes and just finished off karak. Made grimgor my buddy and we are both moving north to deal with the empire. I tend to focus courne last because they dont seige your cities very well if you have walls

Never wanted a treaty with me, and as I was sweeping the southern deserts , shuddenburg with 3 settlements declared war on me. I'm rank 3, 1,2 being dwarves and empire. The dwarves joined their side. At that points it's literally world war. Empire joined in after 15turns. As I kept bribing them not to with influence. Turning point was the grind fest near the eight peaks orc mountains. I grinded like 3 stacks battles with my 1,2 stacks non stop. My home province nearby was recruiting non stop. Truly war times. After 15 turns, I stood on top countless dwarf bodies about to grab silver peak, the dwarf home base. Wrestling to rank 2. Empire joined in. But my 4 stacks led by alith anar have finished sweeping dark elves to the norsca territories right at the empire northern coast line :). Fought some skirmishes and they send 4 stacks trying to corner me. I ran back to the norsca waste hoping them to chase and suffer attrition. But basically a stalemate. But this has kept the empire from sending reinforcements to the dwarfs. And on Dino continent. My third army wing is making headways to conquer all that lands taken by the empire. ^^ oh ya, I was curb stomping respanse bretonnia at the deserts as well. Ending the kroqgar rebellion. ^^. War on all fronts.

I like this, no specially scripted and set up anti-LoTW disaster, just a genuine disaster campaign where the Ordertide wrecked them.

Imagine marching across the entire world just to chase down a fat green guy and his pet rocks

[@Wulfeylol]

17:55 That would actually be an interesting challenge campaign

[@maartencuyvers6017]

It would be fun that legend puts these save files into somewhere so that we can play it as well

"A few dwarfs".

[@Kilen_BE]

It’s when I see these kind of campaigns that I realise I shouldn’t be so purist in my campaigns and let it go if things go wrong instead of restarting if some events ruin my plans at low to mid term... it can become very interesting far later to restart from an other region.

[@chrisf7730]

Maybe I've lucked out on my playthrough, it's turn 109. Reikland has been destroyed by the Vampire Counts, Couronne was destroyed by about turn 70 by the Orcs near Marienburg and Norsca. Karaz aKarak is unusually quiet and the high elves don't seem to want to venture from their land.

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

And here I thought we wouldn't see a worse campaign than that Cult of Sotek campaign where he got kicked out of Lustria. I'd say truth is stranger than fiction, but...ya know

i dont like that grom on ME have on start yellow settlements around him, in the other hand he can confederate skarsnik early PS 10:40 imo that dude made this campaign on purpose :D

[@danielfraiz74]

Hey legend I have an idea for a campaign. It's basically clan moulder before it's released: pick eshin, build food (but don't conquer) till you can have 4 shadowy dealings, find hell pit, and take it with the shadowy dealing, abandon flayed rock, and play from up there. Also good relationship with moulder and monsters on every army, not full stacks but some of them

[@cermiosi]

my absolute favorite episide of saving a disaster! so glad i managed to find it again!

[@iamnuzfalgebra2624]

I think the player lowered the difficulty when sending that to Legend. You can screw up as a new player... But lasting to 200 turns??

[@sgtdishwasher4687]

the worst disaster? A challenge to the big Cheeseman? That's the best thing ever!

[@teddys8975]

Dammit every time i see one of these saving campaign videos i feel the urge to start a new one. Would be nice to finish atleast 1 tomb kings campaign on legendary but they get boring :(

[@lazaruslong697]

Early to midgame is best. All campaigns tend to get a bit boring in the late game.

[@samettrabzon9558]

@@lazaruslong697 I have 400 hours playtime, and my most played campaign is with tyrion (round 140).

[@teddys8975]

@@lazaruslong697 depends. For instance i had bretonnia for full map control and it was pretty ejoyable even at turn 300. But unlike legend, i goddamn hate skeleton spams ( tomb kings and counts aswell)

[@wilppuse]

Lolwhat, im doing tomb kings full map mortal empires, and at some point got stuck with two front campaig against 1/4 map naggarond and 1/3 vampires. With forces spread out too thin I got to make every battle count. After I finished dark elves around turn 170 and made my way to the icy north I was unprepared with my 4 armies against 5 full doomstack mammoths of norska. Rest of my forces are way too south and fighting uphill battle against sartosa, counts and dreadfleet now occupying empire. Its quite far from dull now at the turn 241

[@lazaruslong697]

@@wilppuse Seems like someone got a slow start... If you let them snowball at you, that is usually the case. Also diplomacy helps. Making your enemies declare war on each other before going to fight them yourself, never be the only one fighting one faction. Do not fight on multiple fronts. You know, basic strategy. ;)

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

One of the side effects of the Greenskins being buffed is that the Goblins and the Vampire counts are running roughshod over the world in the campaign game, and the dwarves are nowhere to be seen. I was splaying a high Elf game, and about turn 100, when I had more or less ended the Dark Elves, I got to heading East to try and get rid of Chaos, and the Goblins had well over 100 settlements and the Vampire Counts over 50. It was going to be a nightmare dealing with it all. Although the patch has helped playing the Goblins, it has made playing any other faction else a little problematic. I think they are going to have to buff the dwarves or roll back some of the Goblin changes, because although I agree the dwarves were too strong, from a campaign chaos/order balance perspective they need to be.

[@AidanDracole]

I think it's more randomised as to how the AI does cos my post-update HE run had the Ordertide bossing things as usual (TK seemed to be doing pretty strong tho).

[@dabbingtoast7743]

You and I have had very different experiences. Playing as Azhag I’ve seen Sylvania consistently surge to conquering half the Empire but around turn 50 Reikland pretty much stops them and beats them back to their starting position. Then Karaz-A-Karak confederates every dwarf faction on the map and the only Greenskin that hasn’t been wiped out by Karaz-A-Karak/Mors/Eshin is Grimgor.

[@letsplaysvonaja1714]

the dwarves actually win sometimes and the vampires tend to lose in the long run once the empire starts the confederations

[@farles1499]

And by then Grimgor is strength rank 55 with two settlements in the badlands under-siege from Queek

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

@@dabbingtoast7743 The game I am playing, Reikland doesn't seem to exist anymore. I've exposed the whole west coast of the Empire and I can't see them or anyone who trades with them. The Vampire Counts own Nordland and this is the second game recently I have seen them do that.

[@AidanDracole]

Huh, I've got 720p fine (though I'm usually OK with low res video, I'm blind at the best of times anyway). But anyway: level 29 after 200 turns?! What's Grom been doing, simping Eltharion?(!) ¬_¬
