What the 'Legions of Hades' must've looked like in Greek mythology

I can imagine that it is a HUGE ego boost for a goblin to be able to boss an orc around, and not get pummeled into a red paste in the process. And the hobgoblins know that if an orc steps out of line, they are within their full rights to beat up that orc, or just kill him as an example to the others. And if that doesn't work, they can go get the Chaos Dwarfs and they'll put a stop to the slave protests. They might not be equals in standing with the Dawi-Zharr, but they sure do have some amazing benefits not seen anywhere else in the Darklands if you aren't Dawi-Zharr..

A crane and pulley system not shown in game? Either that or the back of the cannon could open up, they throw in the ammunition, close it then light the fuse?

I personally love how the Sisters have two references to Isha. I don't know if it's the same in 40k whether Isha is the prisoner of Papa Nurgs, but for me personally, I find it quite uplifting that in the middle of a full-on melee with the forces of Hell itself, you can hear "Isha calls us!" over the sounds of battle. I think it'd be an even more powerful war cry for the Craftworld Eldar if they shouted it, proving that despite her imprisonment, eternal torture and suffering, she still is there for her children, and in turn her children still deeply love her. In the grim darkness of Warhammer, I find that powerful.

I thought that way too. Same with other Druchii like bleakswords who have the same chant. Then I was combing through the Druhir lexicon on the Warhammer wiki, and came across 'Draich - Executioner's Weapon; the act of execution' And with the sentence ending in 'Khaine', I think the Witch Elves are saying 'roughly', that they are Khaine's weapon, or his executioners. Which is fitting for them I think. They have more to that highly prestigious claim than some random dreadspears at least. Although having 2 dozen Witch Elves chanting 'DRUGS OKAY!' in the midst of battle is also on par for them I think. As they're overdosing mid-fight.

@@torpidjourneymaker3692 I need to go back and record the other calls like attack and retreat. If I knew how to mod, I'd replace Cathay's with TK horns.

@@vicsvinny8123 would be great to replace the wacky cathay chinese english with proper Chinese

I think it speaks volumes that some of the few all female units in the game are amongst some of the most terrifyingly proficient killers you can field in battle. Sisters of Slaughter VS Chosen will see the Chosen win most of the time, but they'll take a HEAVY whipping in the process. And these are *CHOSEN OF THE GODS*, getting their Chaos mutated arses handed to them by half naked gladiatrixes with whips. Send a unit of Witch Elves after a lord or hero, berserk them, and watch his health bar MELT. Sisters of Avelorn have won me entire battles several times, and I find are no slouches in melee when not fighting elites or anti-infantry Wardancers are REALLY good for flanking, and they're speedy so they can zip around slower units. Frost Guard... Combined with the Tzarina's magic, they can grind entire armies to a snail's pace, and pick them off before the enemy even gets into stabbing range. And again, compared to other archers, can hold their own in a melee until reinforcements can show up.

Putting the Tyranid invasion on hold just so I can listen to two guardsmen chatting about how the corpse starch tasted slightly more agreeable than yesterday. I swear I also heard a guardsman say "Gunna be turning 54 soon. Not many can say that."

A few. The main one I use for 90% of the footage is a mix of ZC Empire Reskin and Sigmar's Heirs (With their submods and compatibility patches) steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005809423 steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890463744 The Sturmtroopers are from TW Millennium: Modern Warfare steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2853254034

Empire Infantry Reskin & Officers by Cipher for the opening march steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968882214 Afterwards, it's all ZC Reskin with submods by ZioCru steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005809423 And Sigmar's Heirs by Zoudad steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890463744 (Plus all the patches) Ride of the Demigryphs is a really good one, agreed. I used my previous Empire Dynamic Music video as the base for this one. And unfortunately whilst I was recording for the first video, the game only gave me that much to work with before switching to a different battle track.

@Arbiterjim I was super lucky my giga chad friend bought me a copy. I am honestly shocked that I can run it at all. (I only render my videos in 1080 because I'm using the free version of my editing software, so the game looks even better than you see here) This game is one of the best optimized big titles I've yet come across. Again, MY out of date PC can run it just fine, in my opinion, beautiful graphics. And when all the Nids are swarming onscreen, it STILL holds up very well. I'd go full review mode, but I doubt people want to read 2 paragraphs in a UA-cam Community comment.

Someone made a comment on my Modern Empire VS Orcs video saying they loved the deeper pitched prebattle theme. If I knew anything about modding, I'd seriously consider adding in remixed tracks and my own variations of war horns. If that's even possible and I don't get into trouble by doing so for some reason.

@Arbiterjim It's an easy comparison to see bears, comrades, and Motherland and say, 'Look! Russia!' And disregard everything else. A fictional nation can represent more than just one real-life nation and take cues from all over history. Unfortunately my history is not good enough for me to 'confidently' point out what is and isn't. But in my personal opinion, Kislev is a heavy mix of a lot of eastern european / slavic cultures. And they are really cool due to it. Cathay is still my (new) favourite faction in this game however. I f*cking adore their aesthetic they've got going on.

oh god when I see this argument I cringe all the time. Kislev represents Slavic culture as a whole. You can see references to multiple countries there not just single one. I understand people from non-slavic countries will say ''oh Kislev is Russian'' because it is the biggest Slavic country and also most represented in the media. But when fellow Slavs start arguing I'm losing my shit. It's inspired by multiple slavic cultures not just one. All the frickin' time I see ''Kislev is Poland / Ukraine / Russia'' I'm mad how ignorant those people can be. It's none of these and yet all of them at the same time. Czechs, Slovaks, Belarussians, and I bet even southern Slavs would find similarities or something to pick up in Kislev culture.

One day my fellow Sylvanian our lord Vlad Von Carstein shall awaken again and lead his people to the true empire, an empire without end with an emperor who will forever lead us to glory even in death we shall serve to make the empire as great as it should be...... One day my Friend....one day and on that day i shall be proud to bear his banner on and off the field of Battle

@loyalbravo_1325 Out of all of Warhammer both fantasy and 40k, I love the dynamic and 'friendship' the Empire and Dwarfs have. I think it's really nice and much needed. The Dwarfs didn't join the war solely to help Averland, but that was definitely one big reason why, regardless. I went and did some testing with Stirland's troops with these reskin mods, and I love how they look. Stirland has officially pledged support for the war, too, so expect to see aid from Stirland in the near future. Victory or Death! Gods-damned Chaos is at it again.

@@vicsvinny8123 Aye, lads of Stirland send aid! The Corpse-Fuckers and Chaos-filth Eaters won't know how to deal with the farmers armed with blessed steels! Just to make it more official: "Sons of Stirland! A ghastly hour draws near our fair empire! Averland has stemmed the tide with their iron will! They too has joined our noble defence against the damned, but now they lead the charge... We will not be idle in their time of needs as others have when we alone stood against the undeath! The Legion of Wurtbad will flood out like the river Stir and wash away these abomination! To war, my brothers! TO WAR!" ----Alberich Haupt-Anderssen, Grand Count of Stirland and prince of Wurtbad.

@@vicsvinny8123 Yes, one wholesome thing among the grimdarkness of the warhammer franchise that I do adore. That and Kroxigor being led around by skinks because they are cute. Yes, Stirland enters the chat! The amount of shit-talking farmers harping on walking corpses and heretical imbecile will come to fruition! Also, to make it more official: "Sons of Stirlands! For generations we have kept the corpse plague at bay. Now, our Averland brothers has taken up the same mantle but this time they have pushed into Sylvania! We will not stand idle! For the good of our empire, for the safety of our still living kin and the sacredness of our dead, we will call to arms! Flow out, Legions of Wurtbad like the river Stir and wash away the filth! The abominations! To war, my brothers! TO WAR!" -------Alberich Haupt-Anderssen, Grand count of Stirland and prince of Wurtbad and Sylvania, grand speech duringthe send-off of the legion.

I think it'd be really cool if CA implemented a sort of Three Kingdoms option, where the race would speak their own languages. In TK, you have the option to swap voicelines from Chinese to English or whichever. It'd be badass to play as Dwarfs, and each warrior would speak Khazalid, or even Chaos Warriors speaking solely in Dark Tongue

So far what I've been doing for these dynamics is simply muting all audio except music, and playing a skirmish. The game itself handles the 'dynamicism' as the battle progresses, and I've noticed can also throw in a few extra notes or different variations not in the official soundtrack for it. i'll probably be doing more with these types of videos in the future. I'll save the links for when that happens.

Damned Chaos. Always showing up when they're not wanted. First it was the undead, then goblins and now Chaos. What's next? Skaven or Beastmen?!? Don't answer that.

My headcanon for those guys is they are the most elite of elite of mortal soldiers in Kuhl's employ. Maybe even forming a section of his personal guard. They'd likely be protecting Richart Harkon, even though he seemingly disappeared after the Dwarfs attacked the South-East flank.. So Kuhl lost some ACTUAL units in that battle. Not undead fodder to raise again, or levied peasants. I use 4 animation mods actually.

Turns out guns are really good against undead. Those Thunderers in the final battle DECIMATED the enemy hordes offscreen. I also learnt the battle replay isn't 100% perfectly matched. In the 2nd battle, the Reiksguard got a really cinematic charge off (I was watching), whilst in the replay they got bogged down with skeles before they could pull it off. Was kind of sad to see that, but oh well.

@dariusrose9909 I've had a few ideas. I was thinking about putting it to a community poll actually. Some of the ideas I've had were: Greenskin slaves escaping Dark Elf servitude (like Sportacus with the Broken Chainz) Norscan Warband's rise from nothing to glory And a Dark Elf Black Ark crew as they raid all along the ocean. However, I'm also interested in hearing suggestions too. Personally, I kind of like the idea on doing a Druchii border garrison fighting against Chaos.

@@vicsvinny8123 Ya with the Hung marauders you can make them proper scary since when the Dark Elves arrived on the continent of Naggaroth. They were nearly driven off by them.

@@dariusrose9909 There's this mod that gives every settlement a little lore blurb. I don't know how lore accurate it is, but I spent about an hour just reading the different texts for each settlement in Naggarond. Not knowing too much about the Druchii, you'd think they're just sitting around, plotting Ulthuan's downfall. In reality they're doing just that, but literally fighting for every inch of land every single day just to keep their homeland from everything else nasty and horrible besides them, and themselves as well. Meanwhile, some random Asur is reclining back on his beachfront villa, sipping vintage wine and complaining how the temperature is 2 degrees colder than yesterday.

@@vicsvinny8123 Do the Sporctacus! That is going to be the most funniest thing ever!

@@loyalbravo_1325 I'd honestly still do that even if they don't win the poll, just because it'd be hilarious. A WAAAGGHHH!! made up of escaped slaves beating the darkness out of the Druchii, while being led by an Orc called 'Sportacus'. I love that concept, and the fact that according to the Total Warhammer lore at least, it's actually a thing. (Though them being a minor faction in game, they end up getting steamrolled by Har Ganeth within 10 turns)

Chaos Dwarfs and Tomb Kings are next up on my list actually. Chorfs are one of my favourite factions, so I'm hoping to do really good by them.

@@vicsvinny8123 Same bro chaos dwarf music especially this one: ua-cam.com/video/X1tG47e-dxc/v-deo.html came off to me as being so unique

For sure. I think after Nurgs, the only melee Chaos Lord I've yet to do is Khorne I believe?

It's details like this that are very easily missed just simply due to the nature of the game which makes me like it more. Really, the only people who would actually see a lot of this ambience, are people like me trying to look for it. A normal playthrough will likely never stop to 'smell the flowers'. But the option is still there regardless.

You don't see the Mesopotamian / Assyrian look that often, but when you do, it makes for a very cool and unique looking faction

@@vicsvinny8123 Yep

Enjoy your rest now. I hear the Overseer might be cutting back on allotted sleeping periods in order to get 2.7% more production efficiency out of the factory.

Every once in a while I find myself liking a faction more after reading some random lore blurbs on them randomly at random times on random days. This time I was reminded that the Old Ones were terraforming aliens that came to the planet like they do in 40k, seeded life, created the Lizardmen to be custodians of the planet, and the best weapon against Chaos, and now the Lizards continue their sacred xenos duty of fighting Chaos, protecting the planet, and awaiting the fated re-arrival of their alien masters. And that is just cool to me. Honestly I would consider it canon that the Lizards have control over some satellites in orbit left by Old Ones that they can use as offensive weapons or spying on the other races. But they rarely do so because these space objects are considered sacred revered artifacts and such. Lizards wielding weapons, riding dinosaurs into battle, all the while having access to orbital weaponry is such a badass concept to me. About as badass as giant rat-men having miniguns, tanks, mutated rat-hulks, and magical nuclear missiles.

Based takes

It's a testament to the strength and capability of Rome that it had an empire as big as it did back then, and held onto it for as long as it did. As well as having the order and ability (most of the time) for the Empire to actually function as a greater whole. It isn't considered an ancient superpower for nothing after all. That's nothing to be said for how effective and ground breaking it's military was for the time. Again, the Empire couldn't be as big as it was without the military running around conquering stuff, and then holding onto conquered land with their layered logistical networks, forts, roads, walls, border posts, auxiliaries, and so much more. Roman history, culture, mythology, and etc. Is such an interesting topic and it's no wonder parts of it still endures to this day what, like 2,000 years after their time? Crazy to think about.

I was honestly blown away upon seeing the actual orbital station in the sky. This video was actually my blind reaction to seeing the changes they made to the Space Elevator, after I hadn't played the game for roughly 1-2 years. Saving Humanity is noble and cool and all. But saving the existence of puppies and kittens is also an important goal to work towards.

I never used to be into these types of games, nor simulation or simulators in general. My purview was mostly FPS and RTS. And then I fell out of favour with playing PvP and being competitive and now I just like doing my own thing at my own pace. Hence I believe is why I've been playing a lot of these simulation and survival kind of games recently. I really like this game because I feel that sense of achievement upon building or accomplishing some milestone by myself that I don't often feel in games. And that Space Elevator is just super freaking cool. I LOVE seeing these types of things in games. They nailed the sense of scale in my opinion.

I spent maybe 1-2 years not playing it, and then randomly decided to hop back in just after the 1.0 update went live. I didn't read any patch notes or anything. And I ended up playing for 10 hours straight on a work night. Whoops.

@@vicsvinny8123 Sounds like me with TW:WH3 lol
