I feel like these two factions could bond. Over Bondage.

Bringing Valkia at the head of the Ecstatic Host is a massive grudging

[@abbas-aliibnmohammadal-nam929]

I love Khorne but Valkia is one of the worst and lame characters. Wish she never existed

[@thegamingwolf5612]

​@@abbas-aliibnmohammadal-nam929 why

Another thing Malekith has over the Supreme Sorceress is his base 20% physical resistance granted by the Armour of Midnight

[@4FUN0011]

Man, knowing the warriors of chaos has THE BIGGEST roaster out of everybody and still using valkia 50% of the time paired up with 6-8 skirmish cav really makes me sigh again and again

[@ДаулетСерік-и3п]

Riders too good. Low cost for skirmish and good melee.

[@lekonbtw3380]

Even though they are really good, they are not really fun to watch

[@ashisunblade]

Take a shot each time Turin says "exponentially" when he just means one thing is a lot better than another :D

This is just his roundabout way of summoning Inigo Montoya.

[@CanadianBacon9719]

Love seeing great games from presumably unknown players! Really shows how much depth MP has despite how much it gets largely ignored from CA

[@DeadlyGrub]

It mostly gets ignored because only roughly 3% of the player base touches it (PvP). CO-OP is slightly higher at like 7% so as a resource allocation thing it makes sense to mostly sideline it.

[@CanadianBacon9719]

@@DeadlyGrub oh no, I totally get why they ignore it, wasn’t meaning to knock CA, it’s just how it is

[@Posdnoid]

I’m happy to knock CA. The reason PVP is so low is coz they make no effort to support it. There’s potential for PVP popularity to massively increase with chat, maps and servers. It’s just short sighted. The amount of times I just end up playing the stupid AI because I don’t have time to to go hunting for an opponent on Discord or can’t be arsed with the lack of chat and lag in multiplayer rooms is depressing. Meanwhile, CNC manage to host a great Red Alert PVP community and portal for a 20 year old game, even though they are just volunteers! It’s nuts!! So much untapped love for the game being squandered.

[@DeadlyGrub]

@@Posdnoid No it's not because low effort. It's because this has always been the average player engagement with the PvP multiplayer. Shogun 2 had the highest in the history of the series with Clan wars and a larger focus on MP and that only ever hit about 7% of the player base. Keep in mind 80% of players ONLY auto resolve battles on Easy difficulty the entire game. About 10% of the community plays on hard or above about 2% play Very Hard and less than 1% play legendary. These are stats they released near the end of TWH2 at some point from my memory might be off a few %. But overall to even get a good competitive MP scene going you would need all those Hard or above players to suddenly start playing it constantly. That's not going to happen. Many play modded and don't want to play Vanilla (Splitting the community further). Additionally plenty of those people will have no interest in PvP multiplayer. Personally I am capable of playing Multiplayer I have the micro ability to play it. I Just hate the balance of the Vanilla game and prefer SFO. Reason being the fact that even if I did play it the problem is you basically can never use anything but chaff; because elite infantry and other fun units are just going to get instantly killed by magic or ranged units. Also comparing this game to Red Alert isn't a good comparison because Red Alert from the Ground up was intended as a PvP game. Where as Total War is Single Player First.

[@Posdnoid]

@@DeadlyGrub Yep, let’s just give up on making the multiplayer game experience decent and building a multiplayer community 🙄 Even if the majority play solo, there are still tens of thousands of people who would love it if just a bit more effort was put into creating an averagely good way to play multiplayer with simple changes like chat and decent maps. If the game developer doesn’t make multiplayer easy snd rewarding then obviously people will stick to solo (across all total war games) and many, like me, will be forced to stick to solo even though they really want to play more PvP. Which is deeply irritating and short sighted as its potential additional revenue stream for CA too. It just needs a bit more vision and effort. As for using chaff - that’s less often the case now, since certain spells got nerfed. You just can’t have a whole army of elite and have to think very carefully about how and when you use it, which makes sense. Check out Turin’s latest video for a perfect example of more elite units being used to get a win. One thing I would praise CA for is mostly balancing such a HUGE range of units and factions (apart from the odd silly/intentional mistakes they make each update (like the dwarf balloon nonsense). I’d also praise everything else about the game. It’s just such a crying shame that the joy of human v human is so under utilised. Especially when the Ai is so lacking in intelligence.

[@Sunshyne670]

wow, someone actually played Arnheim? This takes me back.

[@turinRTS]

QB replay!

[@x0lopossum]

Nice to see Malekith being used against reminds me of the Malekith on his Black Dragon meta in Warhammer 2.

[@N0ahface]

I feel like Morathi + double manticore was way more meta, shoutout to IcePowerTW

[@michaellaramee1965]

Great video! So to your point about troops moving faster in column formation, I believe that was an actual feature in Napoleon Total War. Infantry moved fasters in columns and slower in a line. The idea was to move the units into position in columns then pull them into a line to engage in battle

[@abbas-aliibnmohammadal-nam929]

Nice to see some Delfs on the menu boss

[@Mr.Anderson__]

Love winding down my days with these battle replays

[@emultra759]

Cold One Knights caused a lot of trouble for those Horsemasters. And nice to see the Singing Doom get some play. Did anyone catch when they used their Witchbrew?

[@liamcullen3035]

I was looking for it, but didn’t catch if/when they used it

[@mighty8357]

What would you prefer? Bring gifted a fully painted 3000pts painted army of your choice or seeing a mullet turin wearing a sombrero?

Be blessed by the sombrero mullet, obviously

[@DibbzTheLoner]

definitely should have been throwing Valkia at the medusae to tie them up instead of wastefully suiciding a manticore into them

E versus the „dreaded barcode“ 😂😂😂 Man you gotta love it

[@jonathankelly4222]

Given the factions they selected for the next DLC, it really feels like this should be the "MULTIPLAYER UPDATE". Who better to put in a DLC backed up by smacking people in the face than Greenskins, Ogres and KHORNE?!

[@DeadlyGrub]

Given about 3% of the playerbase touches pvp multiplayer this is highly unlikely.

[@turinRTS]

@@DeadlyGrub ;)

[@jonathankelly4222]

@@DeadlyGrub yes, but if they don't touch it because it's in a crap state does that also mean they wouldn't touch it in a better state? I would... I have...

[@DeadlyGrub]

@@jonathankelly4222 The game has always been a single player title. Even when they put a large amount of effort into the MP IE Shogun 2 when it had the largest multiplayer base it was still only about 7% pvp multiplayer and they put a lot of effort into that with the clan wars ect. Roughly about 80% of players auto resolve like every single battle. The skills required to play the MP version of these battles is absolutely daunting for many. Not to mention you have to build weird because of units basically filling entirely different rolls and things being unviable example elite infantry so on and so forth. The learning curve from SP to MP is too high is the base problem that will never change. This is only amplified because TWH is so complex with magic in addition to all the normal units. They have the data from when they started doing all this from ages ago and they know where they can put the effort and where they just get it working. And the PvP multiplayer is defiantly the biggest case of just get it working and tune it every once in awhile. Domination mode was a big surprise along with simultaneous turns with 3 in general. That was likely the biggest changes we will see to it unless the popularity of the MP scene skyrockets to above 25% player base.

[@Posdnoid]

@@jonathankelly4222 EXACTLY! Many people don’t play it coz support for it is sooo shocking! I’m DYING to play more PvP but I’m often too busy with work and life to engage with Discord groups. So I just need a decent PVP portal where I can jump in and out for quick PVP games with chat functionality and minimal lag issues. Simples. Or so you would think 😤

never get tired of watching these battles.. *but for the love of God can players be more aware of using the same colored banners.. please guys, pretty please with all the cherries on the top..

[@lich109]

What was up with Malekith's attack animations when he killed Valkia? I thought the dragon had a longer pause between attacks, or is there something special with Malekith? 15:46 Man a Slaupnir on the three units there wpuld be so good. It was either on cooldown or the player used them all, but that would've won the game.

[@milansvancara]

These videos are treats

[@Killtrobal]

Man..... why do these people chose both the same color scheme????? its so fkn easy

[@Emanon...]

How in the hell has CA still not made a "home/away team colours" system with regards to faction banners that look to much alike? It's basic UI shit!

[@christianweibrecht6555]

Why is mama’s boy, a rare sight in tww3?

[@Riri_734]

Too expensive for what it can do, useful only if you're going very specific counter builds with him as center piece. Supreme Sorceress can perform the same or even better with versatility for more builds but for so much cheaper, like 1000g cheaper. You can do a lot with 1k surplus that'll have a much bigger contribution than fielding Malekith. Iirc Malekith was nerfed to oblivion after TWWH2.

I always felt malekith's destroyer and spellshield are the most underpowered items in the game😢 and he should be a better duellist when off the dragon right?

[@fuchsmichael93]

Yeah, its pretty lame that his Dragon has the same Stats as the Generic Lord Mount. He´s the Factionleader after all.

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

Oh my gosh, what a game! It was incredible watching it play out in phases like that - the cautionary skirmishing at the start, and the patience of the Dark Elf player being tested as Valkia established the missile cav on the points. Then the big ole scrap as both sides committed, and finally the desperate last stands and frantic scramble to claw the last few points in. Right up to the end I couldn't tell who was going to win. Phenomenal match.
