Honestly, the game just doesn't favor flanking NEARLY enough for it to be worth it. And i mean that in a general sense. Even with rear-attack specialist slaaneshis, it doesn't seem to really make a difference. Now if you don't mind, i have a Shogun 2 campaign to start.
Legend: fights 2 battles where he is serously outpowerd and outclassed by troop quality, didn't startled him at all. Also Legend: sees a unit of dwarven warriors in one army. *confusion intensifies
Its funny how Legend's cheese meta drifted from "almost never control large armies" to "almost always control large armies". Its a shame how bad AI is in this great game.
Since he doesn’t have a great economy and large territories to protect, he’s keeping his better units with other weaker lords since Vlad and isabella are strong enough to beat anything
@@biowiener7825 Precisely, Vlad, Isabella and two vampires with pit of shades deals with this no problem. I had Vlad, Isabella and one vampire kill Wulfrik and about 15 mammoths, which pit of shades and wind of death are basically useless at. I did have to cheese with Vlad stood right in the corner and luring one mammoth away at a time for the other two to assassinate, but I got there in the end
I will always respect you for taking a stand against a major company. I will always support you for staying true to yourself, and your values ( values that you share with us online at least)
Do AI armies just stand and stare at flying units if they are heroes? Only on the higher difficulty? I play normal difficulty and they never seem to do this. They always charge my army as soon as I do damage to them.
@@Redbeardian Yup, VH battle difficulty is kind of borked because of the AI prioritising overall value. On lower difficulties they don't really bother, and will attack you regardless (albeit not without some strategy). There's plenty of cases of battles that can be cheesed on VH, but are likely unwinnable on Normal.
I like the ones where they call out the name of a spell, make em actually seem like immortal wizards, high elf feedback is nice too don't know what they're sayin but it sounds cool and elven
It gets me every time when you imitate whiners or smartasses. It's funny and educational at the same time. :D I think this is probably half of the reason why I watch your videos.
Shout out to that military alliance with the Zhufbar dwarves LOL. Seeing zombies, skeleton spearmen, fell bats, and black knights in a dwarf army is not something you see everyday :D.
For people out there learning: Second battle, level 1 metal caster makes a big difference. 20 with all points in casting? Lost before they even started. Level 1? Just a hero who can cast two or three times. Always check the enemy lord levels before assessing your battle odds.
i feel like vampire's worst nightmare would be a vilitch army with harald hammerstorm, everyone does magic and flaming dammage +big AEO and monster melter in the flamethrower units
For it to be the vampires worst nightmare, the enemy army should have Aekold Hardbass. Or was it the other one? The Khorne hero that's super anti-undead 😅
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but does the charge bonus add mass to the unit? Say for example a paladin on a horse with 100 charge bonus does it add flat 100 mass or 100% mass or not at all?
[1] How do you move the units around on the “Army Bar” and [2] how do you get the “Unit Details” box to stay up on the left side of the screen? Thanks,
Bottom left corner of the screen, just above the little camera icon, there's a button that will pin the unit info to the side. To move units around, you can just click and drag. I can't remember if I changed my key bindings on that though.
I think if you partially overlap the chaff instead of stacking them fully on top of each other, they wouldn't die as fast from the monster unit's AoE attacks.
I would have taken one look at this prebattle screen and just quit the campaign. Remarkable technique and game knowledge LegendOfTotalBro. Maybe I should stop deleting my campaign saves and just make legend deal with my terrible mistakes.
I mean, legend gave the answer in the video, vlad had the nemesis crown and 3 casters, that was all he got in the army, because he didnt need more but when he couldn´t find enemies to fight he lost the crown and had to recruit an emergency army.
This really shows that vamp counts needs other buffs, because physical res is so easily bypassed now with demons. Damned demons! Everything was good until they arrived, and because of them, most upgrades from WH1 and WH2 now useless.
@@schoolsout901 You basically say my opinion, cause right now demons and warriors of chaos hard counters vampires of any kind, just because vampires rely on physical so much.
Didnt Vlad get a nerf quite recently? Didnt he get a bunch of tanky-ness nerfs because people were rightfully complaining about how annoying it was to fight him
bound spell fire? purple sun chaos has thosse pesky maruarders chippign away.. Cheese i ndeployment could have put the crossbows on shelf in green area they could not path off it but the enemy meele cant hit them, The fireball when they blob so it hits AoE or something?
Manny or Vlad end times bros of chaos?. Skelli Bois be slow mon. even using Dance MAcabre its a force that lags. an ambush controlling large army is not pretty with chaff and no necromancer too.
these videos are boring cuz he cheeses the hell outta ai stupidity..if ai just rushed his army hed lose half the battles lol..but i do enjoy when he talks to himself like its someone telling him to try something.
One of the things that really aggravates me about this game is that if you were fighting vlad you would be saying the same thing about him that you are about archeon that he was too tough and he could wipe out your army etc. That’s what makes you have to cheese or spam certain unit types because you can’t fight the AI “honorably”. I’ve got like 5000 hours in all 3 of these games and I keep having a hard time even playing the game anymore because the AI just annoys me more than anything and you can’t play the game without cheesing because their idea of making the game harder is buffing stats. I wish the AI would just be smarter instead of the stat buffing but I don’t think it will ever happen.
At least they gave us the option to have battle ai be different than battle buffs. you can have ai on very hard battle with 0 buffs. But honestly yeah its my biggest problem with total war games. The ai is so bad that they need to get so many buffs, They should learn a thing or two from paradox, obviously their ai could be improved too, but at least its not complete poop without 1000 buffs.
0:00 Vlad stole Archaon's eyes, lol.
Those Vampires are quite some pickpockets, man. Luthor Harkon approves!
Petition to see a disaster battle solved by flanking skeleton warriors.
Honestly, the game just doesn't favor flanking NEARLY enough for it to be worth it.
And i mean that in a general sense. Even with rear-attack specialist slaaneshis, it doesn't seem to really make a difference.
Now if you don't mind, i have a Shogun 2 campaign to start.
Flanking in warhammer: -8 morale out of 70-100
Flanking in older total wars: -3 morale out of 5-10
Feel da diffaranz, yo
Yeah, anything short of elite AP cav doesnt really do anything on rear charges.
@haldir108 some how it never occurred to me until you said it. Yeah Slaanesh units are rear attack specialists...how fitting.
@@haldir108 Just because it might be ineffective doesn't mean I don't want to see it.

"It is against Sigmar's teachings"
-Crossbowmen fighting for undead vampire lords
HMMMM
The dwarves chilling in the vampire count army is wild
Just allying to one of the Empire elector counts. Nothing wrong here )
Also a Dwarf army with lots of undead units
Legend using a fireball item. Now I've seen it all.
I think first one hit Isabella. A sighting shot perhaps.
Its funny how Legend's cheese meta drifted from "almost never control large armies" to "almost always control large armies". Its a shame how bad AI is in this great game.
Lmao I swear i wrote it before i got to 18:45 XD
What's a rank 50 vlad doing with this army?
hes VIBIN'
Might be a fresh army or an army that lost a Lord and Vladimir was just placed in the lead of it.
Since he doesn’t have a great economy and large territories to protect, he’s keeping his better units with other weaker lords since Vlad and isabella are strong enough to beat anything
vlad doesnt need an army after some levels, especially with isabella
@@biowiener7825 Precisely, Vlad, Isabella and two vampires with pit of shades deals with this no problem.

another disaster swiftly&quickly dealt with
I see what you did there
" get back get back get back "
Vlad's worst nightmare is Luthor Harkon because his army are resistant to magic and he has both monsters, gunners and artillery.
Chad von Carstein versus THE End Times. This is certainly a matchup.
I will always respect you for taking a stand against a major company. I will always support you for staying true to yourself, and your values ( values that you share with us online at least)
the second battle was crazy. Nothing could make me to fight this, half of the army, no Lord, no hero just literal crap but Legend did it still
that fireball hitting only your ally at 5;18 is really the most value you're gonna get from it, i only hit my allies with that shit
Honestly, I wouldn't even have dared to fight that siege battle. Good to know it can work. The dwarf warriors making him pause though 😂
1:50 I love when “but akchually” Legend comes out

How fast do we want a higher variety in featback voice lines? Swiftly!
Quickly!
Define featback please
At once!
@@buttqueef9900 "feedback", the lines where the unit acknowledges the command
I like the ones where they call out the name of a spell, make em actually seem like immortal wizards, high elf feedback is nice too don't know what they're sayin but it sounds cool and elven
at the pre battle screen, why are Archaon's eyes on top of Vlad's head? :D
It gets me every time when you imitate whiners or smartasses. It's funny and educational at the same time. :D
I think this is probably half of the reason why I watch your videos.
Could be worse. No Harald here. Still a bad situation.
And we got 2 in price of 1? Nice.
The best part of my morning coffee routine is when Legend's newest video posts!
Shout out to that military alliance with the Zhufbar dwarves LOL. Seeing zombies, skeleton spearmen, fell bats, and black knights in a dwarf army is not something you see everyday :D.
Two very cool/interesting battles. Actually learnt a lot there.
That moment when legend micro's super hard to save chaff while a vampire is sitting eating dragon ogre attacks.
The dwarf warrior in the last army LOL
woot bonus disaster battle!
I'm getting QUICKLY SWIFTLY PTSD... Vampire heroes should have a mute skill on their yellow line...
For people out there learning:
Second battle, level 1 metal caster makes a big difference. 20 with all points in casting? Lost before they even started. Level 1? Just a hero who can cast two or three times.

39:42 starts a second disaster battle without even quicksaving?? different worlds
1 hour long? legend is treating us well today
The dwarf warrior with scarecrow banner🤣
i feel like vampire's worst nightmare would be a vilitch army with harald hammerstorm, everyone does magic and flaming dammage +big AEO and monster melter in the flamethrower units
Quickly ! Swiftly !
5:18 hero dropped that fireball on Isabella's ass lmao
If the AI was simpler, meaning, just rush with all it has at the begginning, there was no way to win this fight, that is incredibly stupid
@@basab1063 A lot of armies will actually do this, but on lower difficulties, ironically.
That second battle was exciting
This is the first battle on this channel I've seen the intro card and thought "there's no freakin' way". Don't underestimate Vlad I guess
The rare double feature
Oh, another SWIFTLY, QUICKLY! video))
For it to be the vampires worst nightmare, the enemy army should have Aekold Hardbass. Or was it the other one? The Khorne hero that's super anti-undead 😅
Harald Hammerstorm
@@adeptusjoker7176 Oh, yeah, that one 😅
@@SereglothIV just fyi, harald hammerstorm is undivided despite being all red like a khorne guy
This is why dont be cheap guys, invest some in your army.
I'm surprised he did this battle! The odds are overwhelming, and his units are trash tier. If he wins this it's going to be kinda nuts.
QUICKLY, SWIFLTY !
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but does the charge bonus add mass to the unit? Say for example a paladin on a horse with 100 charge bonus does it add flat 100 mass or 100% mass or not at all?

I wonder what will CA think of this video when they watch it .
Lol, 2 for 1 special. Sweet!
5:20 the fireball hit isabela instead of archeon xd
dwarf warrior jumpscare
39:15 I do not understand why it takes so long to display this image of the settlement. Mine takes about 15 seconds sometimes!
Every game of TWW3 must include upside down face Archon. It is 100% a rule, change my mind.
BUT LeGeNd you say Spirit Leech is bad all the time
1:01:15 that random dwarf warrior though
I would have taken one look at this prebattle screen and just quit the campaign. Remarkable technique and game knowledge LegendOfTotalBro. Maybe I should stop deleting my campaign saves and just make legend deal with my terrible mistakes.
We always need more disaster battles haha
Swiftly!
Rank 50
Tier 1 units
Sylvania Crossbowmen
What??? Why??? What???
because vlad doesnt need an army
@@biowiener7825 lol that and because it's his game. 😂😂😂 people be thinking folks gotta set up a game to their liking.
I mean, legend gave the answer in the video, vlad had the nemesis crown and 3 casters, that was all he got in the army, because he didnt need more but when he couldn´t find enemies to fight he lost the crown and had to recruit an emergency army.
@@cap258 even better.
This really shows that vamp counts needs other buffs, because physical res is so easily bypassed now with demons. Damned demons! Everything was good until they arrived, and because of them, most upgrades from WH1 and WH2 now useless.
Nagash will fix that, I believe
I disagree, not every faction should be able to hard counter every other faction.
everything will turn very samey
@@schoolsout901 You basically say my opinion, cause right now demons and warriors of chaos hard counters vampires of any kind, just because vampires rely on physical so much.
Only if its multiplayer buffs cause in campaign they are super op.
@@triploshadow Not for me. I don't play multiplayer in most of the cases, and vampires is very old race.
l.eGenD u CaN fLanK tHem - lmao
5:20 i think the fireball hits isabella....
why use pit shades only and not purple sun? is purple sun bad?
Pit of shades is better and cheaper
25:24 lol the background
Is AI playing turn based combat?
Why does vlad have 2 fires floating in in his portrait?
There is a visual bug where the other character can "steal" the glow from Arkhaion's eyes.
As a vampire count conisor what in the fuck is that army
Swiftly
Spirit leech seems to be getting used a lot more now a days 😂😂😂. I remember when it was said that it was useless. Maybe the values changed.
who wants to bet that after this vlad will be nerfed?
Didnt Vlad get a nerf quite recently? Didnt he get a bunch of tanky-ness nerfs because people were rightfully complaining about how annoying it was to fight him
If I were to play as Vlad and confed Ghorst, would his zombie skill tree affect the zombies in my armies or does it not work when he is confederated?
Dumb question ❤
Unless it's bugged, Ghorst's personal skill line should affect all armies factionwide.
bound spell fire? purple sun chaos has thosse pesky maruarders chippign away.. Cheese i ndeployment could have put the crossbows on shelf in green area they could not path off it but the enemy meele cant hit them, The fireball when they blob so it hits AoE or something?
ai.exe be like
The ai army behavior is pitiful
See, if I would fight this Archaon would beeline straight for Vlad and the rest of the army for the blob and wipe everything out in no time flat.
You can't type "campaign" without "pain"
...Yeah, you can!
Manny or Vlad end times bros of chaos?. Skelli Bois be slow mon. even using Dance MAcabre its a force that lags. an ambush controlling large army is not pretty with chaff and no necromancer too.
these videos are boring cuz he cheeses the hell outta ai stupidity..if ai just rushed his army hed lose half the battles lol..but i do enjoy when he talks to himself like its someone telling him to try something.
