    I can imagine the absolute UPROAR that would occur if Legend said "Okay, to beat this battle, we're gonna use a simple trick. Let's drop Battle Difficulty down to easy and boom, there you go, autoresolve Heroic Victory." and then ended the video.

    when i was dealing with this dynamic duo in my norsca campaign, he was always charging in on my front line giving me the opportunity to bog him down and either use just antilarge against him as well as a melee hero. most of the times he would route after killing his army, but a few times him and harry fucked my army up enough that i had to run away from them and take them 1 at a time. bogging archaon down while cycle charging from the back with a hero or the lord. same thing with harry, but with him i was scared to put in the infantry because of his aoe so i was just microing the heroes to distract him while trying to cycle charge his backside.

    How did he get to turn 75 with only 5 items? Even Fusing them to get good items you should have more than 5 items by then. Plus there's a good amount of low rarity items that are decent enough on their own that it's worth outfitting your lords and heroes with them over RNGing them to get the staple items(which I don't even see here).
    This is intended purely as a genuine question and thought. Like having buffed attack/weapon strength and armor on each lord and hero is better than one of them having 8% ward save as an example of my point.

      Few problems with that one, first is archaon is faster cause of horse. Second he kills faster than Harry. Third is Harry being a small unit which will make him get knocked down by the giant that is focusing him and as you probably know units on the ground dont take dmg except from spells like spirit leech or arcane unforging. Archaon would annihilate the whole army by the time you kill harald with what Legend had at his disposal...
