@@spiffygonzales5899 Been on a bit of a lore/40k audiobooks binge these last 2 years so I'm pretty immersed in it at the mo. Did a similar binge a while back with Star Wars books, etc, on top of having been a fan of that story for decades. I honestly don't see how the Galactic Empire could put up more than a token resistance against the Imperium. The Imperium is just several orders of magnitude better armed. e.g. the Galactic Empire is described as having something like 20k star destroyers at its height while the Imperium has something like 2 million of the 40k equivalent to a star destroyer. Then we have the ridiculous levels to which psykers can go. In one book there's a human girl born in the under city of a hive city who goes on to pretty much destroy the whole city by herself, almost Akira style. She collapses it in on itself. She winds up recruited by the alpha legion for a job and along the way kicks the snot out of several marines (read crush, maim and launch down long corridors with enough velocity to penetrate foot thick steel when they hit a wall) and crashes a city sized star base into a star. and baseline humans are not supposed to be all that when it comes to psychic potential. There's psykers in the setting who can effectively annihilate a world with a thought and above them we have the various gods. The thing people often forget is that most of those gods don't actually want everything to end. They're petty, fickle and are quite childish at times but they love seeing order break down more than they want to actually bring about an absolute end to everything. A fine distinction that explains why they don't really care when they lose (in as much as they even can lose). The chaos gods are damned near undefeatable and they know it. Punishing a minion who fails them is all part of the fun. Everything in 40k is ridiculously over the top, including the power of the forces battling it out. It's kind of 40ks schtick.

[@adamstilber8382]

An experience I've had with the slaanesh units is that they straight up win in a fight against khorne units. Slaanesh is meant to be fast moving, hit and run faction that shouldn't hold up in a head to head fight... but they do. They're high melee defense means they never get hit in melee. Their high melee attack means they always land their hits. Their immense amount of armor piercing units means that Khorne's high armor means absolutely nothing. In a siege, all you have to do is group up at choke points and watch as khorne is unable to do a thing.

The game is definitely more fun played on Ultra unit scale, but CA is on record saying that they prioritise balance for Large unit scale. And yeah, regular Daemonettes don't got the innate reduce enemy melee attack debuff, only the Exalted ones do.

@@Riftweaver1981 This. Spiff is all about the memes and the delivery. If I got a penny every time his big, game breaking exploit turned out to be just intended game mechanics used in lower difficulties, I could buy, like, a burger. And maybe some fries? Either way, he has a bad habit of hyping things up a bit too much.

[@ThePlayerOfGames]

It's great advertising, we saw with the playtest of some of the previous games that they gave patch notes to the creators about what was broken and not. So Spiff just makes content based on that, pretty sure he used to do research into what was broken and how (he's been great at finding and explaining integer overflows) but as has been said he's now more for the memes (probably because he's going for a week long schedule rather than monthly videos)

N'Kari was my first IE campaign. (As well as TWH3 being my first warhammer.) And i gotta say that once you get the purple train rolling nothing can stop you. Unfortunately i have not yet graduated from easy mode.

"Slaanesh is great fun" Uh... Yeah? I'm pretty sure that's basically Slaanesh's whole deal. What with being the manifestation of Excess and all. Gratification, hedonism... All that fun stuff.

Always loves Slaanesh and this game makes it so much fun! I seduced most of the South in my game and then just took over all the way to the east. And I had no harassment from the south until I decided to attack and then wiped them all out with one big stylish, sexy, sweep of my army's! Beautiful!

[@Talon18136]

I just hope one day creative assembly will go back to their roots of making their games in historical settings I like to play what if scenarios in my campaigns but if they do continue with the fantasy games I hope they can at least one day bring lord of the rings to life like this I always thought that would be great I know there are mods in previous titles but I would love an official take on middle earth

[@florre5326]

Dear spiff in the realm of slaanesh on the final door before the fight you will find an utterly bonkers of a weapon called slaanesh's blade that has very crasy stats and a follower that gives you +200% xp gain, movement range +20% and 25% vision range on the campaing map. It goes well with most of the legendary lords

[@draugur345]

I mean, the magic thing isn't unique to TW:WH3. If you set the unit size to the smallest option (which it's pretty clear spiff did) magic becomes ridiculously OP since the health pool for the unit goes down but the damage dealt per spell stays the same.

[@Xanthate1845]

Keep in mind if you play on a smaller unit scale (number of soldiers per squad) like this video, then all area of effect magic will be significantly more cost effective. By scaling down the units, they will have fewer models and cover a smaller space, so even though magic damage scales down too, spells cover a larger portion of the enemy squad.

[@moshlundgren]

I was both surprised and delighted when you referenced Skegness as something of it's own fresh Hell.

[@acarria]

lol I too have noticed how utterly overpowered Slanesh really is with ease. But they're all pretty chaotic and I think that's kinda the point. Everyone's overpowered because technically they're the Chaos Gods and Champions. But Slanesh is a pretty fun playstyle for sure.

[@kylen9954]

This game should have released with dlc factions.

[@ireneparkin3360]

For those who are not versed in the Warhammer 40k lore, Slanesh is the Chaos God of seduction and Khorne is the Chaos God of Blood and Destruction.

[@Hallreaver]

In other Total War Titles i've had "close victories" even though i lost barely any units and the other army got completely destroyed xD Sometimes i wonder how it gauges the Victories..

[@GodOfOrphans]

I think it's based on percentage of individual characters lost, like if you field a bunch of weak individually but swarmy units and win handily but have a lot of casualties just due to the nature of the units being kinda zerg rushy or cannon foddery, it counts that against you even if it's actual effect on overall health is negligable and you'll recover almost immediately at least that's my theory.

[@Isplodethings]

The Penumbral Teabag eh? It's funny thinking about it that way. The funniest line for me from the Alluress is "They will never know the safe word!" But all she does to her victims is smacks them with wet used teabags. Who needs to know what the safe word is?

[@MrCrazyGameGuy]

"Amadeus Witherslash, nope that won't do, no instead they are Jerry the Wizard" I've watched too much Spiff when I'm thinking "Gary the Destroyer Of Worlds" before he even brings up the name change menu.

The coats of this regiment were Blue with Red facings. The field musicians were considered non-combatants; so they wore the opposite colors of their assigned regiment. (In this case making theirs coats Red with Blue Facings.) This was a standard military practice for western armies at the time.

I am thoroughly convinced that under spiffs command nakari could defeat slanesh and become the new god of pleasure

[@Riftweaver1981]

except thats not really how that works.. nakari is only an avatar with the smallest amount of their god's power. slannesh and the other gods vastly overpower the avatars by such large levels, it would be like ultra instinct goku fighting base level frieza

Not only you can cheese slanessh, but any faction that goes into the realm of slanessh can get a dude that has +25 control factionwide (goodbye rebellions) or a blade that is stronger than the bloody sword of Kaine (without the drawbacks)
