I have to say that these beginner save my disaster campaign videos tend to be more interesting/entertaining than the ones where the player has done more or less everything right. Here we have a short and fun 17min video of a seemingly dire situation cheesed into the stratosphere and back with Legend's human mask slipping at times. Meanwhile on another video the game has thrown an impossible situation onto an adept player and Legend spends 50 minutes first wasting the enemy ammo with his lord and then kiting the enemy around the map while picking enemy units off one by one :D
I 100% agree with this, it's also a very useful resource for players getting started with a faction and encountering difficulties, while being hilarious and entertaining!
I find disaster situations that end up on the overworld map tend to be less exciting, beginner or not. However, there are some exceptions to this generalization like this video. Or a rather hilarious case where the guy who sent the save in got a lot of stuff wrong and one commenter not only did the same mistake, but given how many likes the comment had, a lot of people learned something that video, which is called "when you get the basics wrong" ua-cam.com/video/z5INj7wvRHQ/v-deo.html&lc=Ugz3HxpnQ1k2HZyPKAx4AaABAg
"Because to be fair, they were all cheating too." THAT is why we cheese hard and very hard battle difficulty. The AI's the one that's cheating, we're just matching them at that game.
@@joergenmaster7530 the AI cheats, we cheese, exploit, cheating is adding resources via commands, exploit is using gameplay mechanincs to our advantage, and if you play skaven like this is you are just faithful to the race and their lore So I agree with you good Sire
I love Legend's rat voice. If he doesn't get pegged to play Thanquol I will be severely disappointed. CA and Legend redemption arc needs that as the ending.
It is pointless to conquer a settlement without taking the nearby armies out first, because they'll trap you. Unless you play skaven. Rats can always find a way out.
it is so nice to hear you take so much pleasure playing skavens and doing skaven shennanigans xD we can feel it in your voice it heals your soul being so cheesy and tremendously unfair with the AI
@@KazeKoichi Mod yes, official no. Not cause I don't like Legend, love his Skaven voice, especially the gleeful kind, but because I don't want it taking me out of the game. It makes the videos better and keeps an identity too.
Every time Legend does the "rat voice" I lose my mind. It's so great, I had a good chuckle as soon as he sailed out to destroy the marching army. Keep up the great content man, love it.
I want someone to draw rat school fanart. Legend as a frustrated skaven teacher telling his confused students to use ambushes, but they're busy snorting warp dust in the back rows or whatever.
always assumed landing on a coast (not in the a port) would take around 50% of your movement that explains why you sometimes end up with less than 100% movement the next turn after you landed somewhere
CA really oughta make Legend voice Thanquol , lol. He has so much fun being Skaven. Lines like "WHAT ?! BAD rat ! BAD RAT!" "Silly No-Furs!" "GO AWAY SILLY BEAST-THING!" "AMBUSH !! THRE FOR THREE! HYEHEHEHEHE BYEEE !!" would be awesome
This is why I continue to watch LoTW's content. Out of all videos out there covering WH, none are as educational as his. He drops a lot of gems here and there and it is hard to have a composite guide for all of tactics and know-how about the game. But no other content creator teaches like he does. Also, I can understand the OP's situation. It took awhile for me to get a full grasp of the game and I didn't know what was what. I cringe at what I probably did with my army composition, hero builds and city-campaign management back when I first started, only I wouldn't have the balls to send in a save file to legend for all to see. I give Legend all the credit for turning me into a decent player. I distinctly remember the turning point. I played a Clan Skyre campaign and I think it was my first vhard-vhard. This is back when that dlc just came out. I was humming along fine until the Order Tide came a-knocking. It was so overwhelming I just stopped playing it. I gave up. Later I watched this channel's videos. I started to understand things like having plague priests and theirs summons, customizing weapons teams, terrain effects to consider, why I should go for the cunning trait, why I shouldn't use plague monk censor bearers in Skrolk's army just because I thought that's how it was supposed to be, etc etc. I quit that game around turn 200. I fought back all of the High elves, Empire, Brettonnia and Dwarf forces and finished a full map completion at around turn 350. Been praising and offering cheese for the Cheese God ever since.
I have put almost 300 hours into this game and still havent found a race to call my "main" and also cant play above normal difficulty without getting frusterated so watched a turn around like this is always mind boggling
You don't necessarily need a "main race" tbh. And it's not as hard as you think to play on higher difficulties. A lot of it has to do with mindset. Take it slow and scout. Good map vision can make worlds of difference in how you play with every race. With good scouting you can build armies to counter what the enemies have and plan ahead. Also AI tend to have a general path they like to follow. Orks for example tend to go after the dwarves, boarder princes, vampires, then empire. Or alternatively dwarves, boarder princes, into brettonia, then Empire. So you can watch what the AI does for the most part over multiple campaigns and catch a general trend sometimes.
sometimes i wonder who legends favourite race is and then i see a video like this where Dr No fur vs Mr Run-Hide are both active in full swing and my question is answered
Best way to use undercities is to send an engineer on a long adventure to Altdorf and Karaz a Karak. Upgrade to steal the settlement's cash and never think about them again.
5:23 Who else is here just because of this?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Legend of total skaven I think manscape should create a unique brand named Ratscape for legend and his comrades this way will better fit i say
the army looks 100% like he auto-resolved a battle with it the turn before… i bet if he didnt and fought it manually, the situation would not have been so bad.
Omg the best part already was near the beginning "you cant ambush someone sallying out, but you can... SAIL OUT HAHAHAH" you have no limits to your entertainment value :) cheers!
honestly, if you're playing monopoly with other skaven, they'll try to take you out for cheating just because they want to win, while they're also trying to not get caught cheating
Hey legend, been watching your tier lists and you often talk about unit animations affecting its effectiveness greatly. Any plans on making an animation tier list?

Legends evil rat laugh is GOLD! 😂😂😂
1:09 The Most Perfect Skaven Laugh.
it´s getting really creepy actually. Love it!
this is too fucking good
Caught me so offguard, but I love it. I love how into it he gets, Legend having fun playing the game is something I really enjoy
rats love cheese
Tilean general: Yes! The enemy army is running away, leaving the city undefended! ... Wait, where are my armies?
“Why did I just hear 2 OOFs?”
*Heres a skaven cackle in the distance and the whistle of a missile*
Must have been the wind.
Oh no, a ratman ambush! Better just sit here and wait for their catapults to run out of ammo!
Man thing stupid, yes yes
That skaven voice is fucking outstanding, and the transition from normal voice to skaven is seamless, I love it.
Legend really be like "silly no furs" and then "this video is sponsored by Manscape"
i did have that thought too...
yes, being sponsored by manscape is the universe telling legend to not be such a rat
Brought to you by Raiiiiid Shadow Legend!
It's a rat scheme, he's manipulating his audience into losing their fur so they lose their rat power.

Then there's the rare ones where the game breaks putting the player into an impossible situation because of a bug.
Legend is just 3 Skaven in a trenchcoat, you cannot convince me otherwise, that laugh is too on point :D
Aren't Skaven supposed to be normal sized?
we never seen Legend waist down
When you are so new to the game that your leveling looks like the ai...
Pretty Sure he did it for army buff
@@petergoge2072 How about prioritizing speed on the plague priest, and no spells? :D
@@Grivehn well....
@@Grivehn RAT THING FLEE FLEE FAST FAST
@@Grivehn Yeah that's noob asf
The monopoly quote was hilarious
"Because to be fair, they were all cheating too."
THAT is why we cheese hard and very hard battle difficulty. The AI's the one that's cheating, we're just matching them at that game.
It’s honestly why I prefer very hard campaign but normal battle difficulty. I get to use melee! ;-;
If you need to cheat you’re pathetic
@joergenmaster Wow you’re so impressive!
@@joergenmaster7530 its literally impossible to not abuse ai in this game...
@@joergenmaster7530 the AI cheats, we cheese, exploit, cheating is adding resources via commands, exploit is using gameplay mechanincs to our advantage, and if you play skaven like this is you are just faithful to the race and their lore
So I agree with you good Sire
Legends rat voice always makes my day better, one cackle at a time
If skavens were playing monopoly and one was cheating the others would make a big deal of it and expose themselves cheating in the middle of it
Cheating we can cope with, but don't take off your your rat pants....
So... just like real life, yes-yes? 🤔
Loving your energy now you arent streaming 24-7 its great to see you back to your self again!
How very Skaven of him.
I love Legend's rat voice. If he doesn't get pegged to play Thanquol I will be severely disappointed. CA and Legend redemption arc needs that as the ending.
It is pointless to conquer a settlement without taking the nearby armies out first, because they'll trap you. Unless you play skaven. Rats can always find a way out.
Just like rats fleeing from a sinking ship...Oh wait.
AI maybe rebuilt its armies. The guy owned Miragliano for quite some time - he managed to build walls to T3
"Like rats in a cage!" -Empire Total War Besieging General
Proved him wrong, now, didn't we?
"They don't have artillery, and we do."
This sounds like a general's dream or nightmare, depending on which side they are on.
it is so nice to hear you take so much pleasure playing skavens and doing skaven shennanigans xD we can feel it in your voice it heals your soul being so cheesy and tremendously unfair with the AI
Legend is greatest rat yes yes
Now even the AI sends in its disasters to Legend 🤖
I love how much fun Legend has with Skaven. They really call to his cheesy playing nature, more than any faction out of every total war game ever!
That plague priest levelling is criminal
If he/she is watching this video, I think the message to go back to rat school is clear.
other Players: "Oh that's Khazrak, he's my friend, I like him 🐐"
Legend: "pff that's a good place for food"
My favorite thing is how you have slowly become a skaven fan. So much so that you have a good skaven voice. The Great Horned Rat approves.
Legend knows all the Skaven tricks xD
Legend playing Skaven is just the best total war stuff ever, he embodies them to perfection it's hilarious I love it
I need a mod pack with Legend doing Skaven lines for one of their heroes or Lords
What we really need is for CA to hire him to do voice-acting.
@@KazeKoichi Mod yes, official no. Not cause I don't like Legend, love his Skaven voice, especially the gleeful kind, but because I don't want it taking me out of the game.
It makes the videos better and keeps an identity too.

3:48
legend: "you got any heal potions... AW NICE!"
warlock engineer: "WARLOCK AGREES"
When attending rat school, be sure to give Teacher Legend his block of cheese.
Your content lately got so much better! Love the video!
I play skaven and I approve this video yes yes
Man I really want them to let him voice a Skaven lord.. Especially after the "Ah, ambush! Three for three baby!"
the first tilean general's name Marcio Selmone sort of means Rotten Salmon
Tileans- "Nope, nope rat men don't exist." *They say as they get bombarded to death*
Legend playing Skaven is my favourite, the Skaven impressions and joy in ambushing, plus the mad cackles
Time to learn some Critical Rat Theory
I want someone to draw rat school fanart. Legend as a frustrated skaven teacher telling his confused students to use ambushes, but they're busy snorting warp dust in the back rows or whatever.
Oh god, Legend impersonating skaven will never get old. "But you can... SaIL-sAil OUT"
Legend outdid himself here with his skaven and 'but legend' voice.
1:07 This man just turns into a skaven, devious asf
That rat laugh at the beginning when sullying out hahah brilliant!
Never knew the AI was so dumb in ambushes. Kind of disheartening
I've given up the game because of it and other issues. It's broken, the weird thing is that no one has really kicked up a fuss about it.
always assumed landing on a coast (not in the a port) would take around 50% of your movement
that explains why you sometimes end up with less than 100% movement the next turn after you landed somewhere
My god, the sail out voice! Much skaven very very craven yes yes.
The Skaven laugh makes me chuckle everytime
CA really oughta make Legend voice Thanquol , lol. He has so much fun being Skaven.
Lines like
"WHAT ?! BAD rat ! BAD RAT!"
"Silly No-Furs!"
"GO AWAY SILLY BEAST-THING!"
"AMBUSH !! THRE FOR THREE! HYEHEHEHEHE BYEEE !!" would be awesome
That little chuckle of his is peak Skaven.
Somebody needs to make a compilation of all Legends skaven sounds, yes-yes!
the undercity with the buildings cancelling one another out was hilarious
legend is literally the definition of "the best defense is a good offense"
My favourite lesson yes yes
hearing Legend having fun is all I need to have fun
"Bad rad bad rat!" 😂
"silly no furs" made me laugh hard lol

With his love for cheese and meticulous planning we should have known that Legend is a rat/ skaven.
Need legend to do an entire video speaking like a skaven
the skaven laugh will become my new message ringtone.
"Why are you playing Skaven?"
Because ratling guns.
it's always enjoyable to see how ridiculously efficient the master of chese is.
I have put almost 300 hours into this game and still havent found a race to call my "main" and also cant play above normal difficulty without getting frusterated so watched a turn around like this is always mind boggling

5:23
Who else is here just because of this?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Legend of total skaven
I think manscape should create a unique brand named Ratscape for legend and his comrades this way will better fit i say
12:40 I got one! Sharing food
Is this the How many Ratling Guns are enough army
Gotta love Legend skaven bits
You get so happy doint rat things... It's contagious!!! Like a plague...
Ikit would be proud
Imagine this game having Artificial Intelligence that's not from the 1980s.
It is nice that beastmen came from nothing to being friends with the most powerful skaven clan...
You know it's a new player/new to the race when the entire World isn't already conquered by turn 40
pretty sure thats impossible
LOVE watching you play skaven. the joy you have just too cool
the army looks 100% like he auto-resolved a battle with it the turn before… i bet if he didnt and fought it manually, the situation would not have been so bad.
lol now I wanna read the Thanqouil Gotrek & Felix novels again BAD RAT
i learnt a thing about port citys today
Legend actually sounds like a rat eating cheese here.
I hope there is a literial "rat school" video series, will look for it now
.. Is it weird this man sounds like a genuine Skaven at times?
"Chittering increases drastically"
Omg the best part already was near the beginning "you cant ambush someone sallying out, but you can... SAIL OUT HAHAHAH" you have no limits to your entertainment value :) cheers!
Thanks for the video!
Noob question though - why on 5:10 he said it's not gonna be possible for him to ambush?
Legend is the Gordon Ramsey of the rats...
Even when the enemy AI doesn't go full derp that map is super easy for skaven ambushes, the enemy army is just channeled into an enfilade of death.
I never knew you could retreat from a port settlement under seige
Legend's lovely RAT Accent is back!!
I'm here only to hear Legend's Skaven laughter, CA should listen him and use his voice as new Legendary Skaven Lord! Yes! Yes! Squeeeak!
"However in a port settlement situation you can sail out..."
Me (with ~1200 Hours in TW:WH 1&2): YOU CAN WHAT?
I really like Legend talking skavenly
honestly, if you're playing monopoly with other skaven, they'll try to take you out for cheating just because they want to win, while they're also trying to not get caught cheating
No skaven would say it was fair play if you were caught cheating them in a game, getting caught is worthy of punishment, even if the cheating is not.
Love Legend's skaven laugh.
Hogwarts meets Legendoftotalwar = Ratschool with plague baby :P
this is lore freindly video
That Skaven energy is golden
Hey legend, been watching your tier lists and you often talk about unit animations affecting its effectiveness greatly.
Any plans on making an animation tier list?
Legend could take Lightning Strike and went with blue ambush chance? outsmarted by himself ;)
