@@BittermanAndy Kislev is just ridiculous all around right now. Even in multiplayer, I’d go as far as to say they’re the best multiplayer faction right now. I outplayed this Kislev player almost every turn with the empire, I obliterated his bear riders with guns, caught his cavalry and sled blob and got halberds on them and systematically started to break his infantry that used all of its ammo into some spearmen with shields. But he had patriarchs that provided healing and I made *one* mistake. My general got to low health because I didn’t notice that there were streltsi and I didn’t know that war sleds are stupid as hell because even with being shot up and attacked by both empire knights and halberds they still somehow survived and were able to finish off my general. And so since the state troopers are pretty much a bunch of Skaven they abandoned my poor guns that did their best but in the end got obliterated. Also I should’ve killed his general twenty times, but the unholy Kislev healing kept her in when she was grossly out of position. Kislev is rough to play against right now, but with the coming thunderbarge I feel like dwarves are going to be worse.
Tzeentch factions can target your army and force 3 chaos spawn into it with their shennanigans. You can also do it to allies, I love dumping spawn into friends in co-op campaigns that are having money issues
To answer your question - yes, the Chaos Spawn are a Tzeentch thing, specifically one of Vilitch's Changing of the Ways options. If you're wondering how he could target your army to do it, that's a great question, I had a campaign where I was in Athel Loren on turn 3 and Vilitch used it on one of my armies despite, ya know, not being even remotely near him or aware of his faction at all.
I have a feeling Villitch is just always aware of the player but can only use that specific changing of the ways and nothing else, unless the player encounters him.
@@TheChefEgg I actually think that maybe AI Vilitch uses the “Reveal Shroud” CotW ability to meet a lot of factions super early, and it MIGHT be possible without AI cheats if he happens to use “Reveal Shroud” on a Cathayan faction just as their Caravans happen to be close enough to see the player.
I had a co-op game a little bit ago, one of my allies was playing Reikland, and he was struggling against the beastman faction near there (SFO gives them quite a few buffs) for a while, when suddenly he got a set of Spawn in his army, which turned the tide back where he could make some gains again! Just, SO out of nowhere, and we had no clue how it happened for a while, but it saved him, lol.
Since the 4.0 Kislev got new province commandment, available only in chaos waste climate, which turns all of the province into green climate. I think, but am not sure that in subsequent fix patches they expanded the commandment to any province consisting of at least 1 settlement with chaos waste climate.
the chaos spawn thing is a faction ability that Vilitch has: give a bunch of chaos spawn to ANY army (of your choosing) so for some reason he chose your army, probably because you fought someone he hates or possibly just at random
Pretty cool that they took kislev from being a single settlement led by a random empire general in two to a full russian oligarchy with winged hussars who ride bears
I do love this style of content. Its very fun watching a brief and entertaining synapsis of a thematic or ridiculous campaing and seeing how it goes. More please!
You are hilarious! "What?! Heroic victory?! Okay, 2 bears, 1, 2, Boris, and two bears. Uhh, 1 and 2. Versus, 1, 2, uhh, seven bloodletters, and..... Versus 2 bears. One, two, one, two, and Boris. Yeah, one, two. Versus 7 bloodletters...." Seriously, the best auto resolve ever!
15:58 vilitch has the ability to change units into three chaos spawn through the changing of ways, you were in naggaroth so I’m not sure how he reached you from cathay
@@phoenixblaze5491 This seems to be correct. Also, I believe the ability says that it “adds up to 3 Chaos Spawn”, but in my uses of it it’s always added 3, no matter the situation or army, rather than ever adding less.
@@cobaltroselazuli2921if yhe army is full it will replace units. Seems randomly selected when thay happens. Troll your friends super army of 19 dragons.
You want stop apocalypse? Normal Friday in Kislev, get bear, get drunk, wake up Monday surrounded by millions of dead daemons while cuddling with bear, Ursun truly is a loving Father.
15:54 I believe it’s from the changing of ways that the twisted twins have that did that. They have an ability to spawn those for an army.why they did that for you I have no idea. Lmao
15:55 I think you have Choas Soawn because Kairoe Faitweaver's and other Tzeentch factions have an ability that can change anynof ypur units into Chaos Spawn, don't quote me on that thpugh because Im not completely sure.
Your goated saved it to my watch later to try because I am trying to learn to portal combos but some do things too fast for my noob ass brain to react or so my console scroll lags so I can’t do it but thank you for the combo
Effin A, Zerk, you crack me up. Your videos are hilarious and useful for learning the game. You're far and away my favorite Total War content creator. Keep them coming!
What I usually do when playing Ikkit and wanting to push a confederacy with Eshin and Scrolk, I sail an Army there and start taking settlements next to them, trading them in for treatys (and I do not equalize it with money, because then they give you even better opinion of you)
i always hated when a game forced me to fight and kill a bear. that happens weirdly often sadly a lot of developers have grudges against bears for some odd reason. mostly MMOs. now its payback time! remember the old saying: what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. except the bear. the bear fucking kills you
The autoresolve power on these bears is insane
Kislev is generally ridiculous in auto, not just the bears... but the bears are the most ridiculous.
@@BittermanAndy i would say the ambushers are as bad given how cheap they are
Guess you could say Chaos couldn't bring enough power to *bear* it
the game couldnt Bear it

1:56 Ah yes. Because 32 bears can take on a full stack. But my hoard of 3,040 zombies cant take 15 frenchmen.
Don't you think Boris should be able to recruit normal bears on his own 🤔
Well, he has a bear as his partner. So, why not
If you use mods, there's one that lets you recruit bears from the hallowed forest.
@@codypedersen55 I didn't know that mod like this exist thank you!
@sebastianmarchewka9897 I'll try to find the actual mod name and post it here in a couple of hours.
@@codypedersen55 Theres no need i already instaled it
1:56 the best auto resolve ever! Those Khorne daemons really couldn't *Bear* with Boris' ambush.
This is the POLARD opposite of what he expected, but he managed the BEAR it.
They’re attack was quite paw
Using bugs equal cheating 😢
I approve of this video.
Favorite quote : "Turns out it's hard to lose with an army of bears"
Yep.
Tzeentch factions can target your army and force 3 chaos spawn into it with their shennanigans. You can also do it to allies, I love dumping spawn into friends in co-op campaigns that are having money issues
While unconventional, you can probably bankrupt someone with spawn
Only vilitch can do it with his changing of the ways
@@kingleon6114 and Kairos
As the other person said only vilitch can do it. Kairos and changeling cant
I always specialize Vilitch on spawns and fill his army with them using that skill, makes for an easy early game.

No. Don't worry friend. Is strange looking bear. But still eats chaos just fine.

@@ASpaceOstrich Very large bipedal bear, but still bear. Comrad bring da vodka!

It’s because none of them had a flintlock

I think, but am not sure that in subsequent fix patches they expanded the commandment to any province consisting of at least 1 settlement with chaos waste climate.
It did, but it only affects the chaos wastes regions. So if its mixed with wasteland or something else in the province those are still yellow and red.
Tzeentch likes these kind of challenges. It's a nice CHANGE of pace. So naturally he provides the bears of Tzeentch. The chaos spawns.
the chaos spawn thing is a faction ability that Vilitch has: give a bunch of chaos spawn to ANY army (of your choosing)

Love these story type videos, please keep them coming Zerkodude
Judge: All fathers one and all bear witness
Bear: Well...
Karl Franz with his text to speech device: All I heard from that was bear bear bear bear bear bear bear bear.
The Scotish joke nearly killed me, I was not ready for that hahah
Pretty cool that they took kislev from being a single settlement led by a random empire general in two to a full russian oligarchy with winged hussars who ride bears
I honestly love how they went about making these games. Really feels planned unlike a lot of other sequels I've seen.
Mr. Dimitry Tzariov says: Kislev (when declining your sentence).
Random Empire General?
Please don't disrespect my boy Dmitry Tsaryov in that way...
It wasn't 2 bears, but 32. That's why it was so easy
I like the fact that whilest Boris conquers the chaos wastes Katharin takes the north

Kislev Bears: *growling with muderes intent*
Vulkan: *Jamaican accent* “I would like to pet this creature.”
2:15 GW understands that even otherworldly horrors are humbled by a pair of bears.
Cocaine Bear is going to be the new ROR unit.
I lost it at the two bears and 1 Borris part!
Yeah, i was just as confused as Zerko so I really enjoyed it xD

15:58 vilitch has the ability to change units into three chaos spawn through the changing of ways, you were in naggaroth so I’m not sure how he reached you from cathay
Does Vilitch also have the Reveal Faction, or whatever it's called, changing of the ways?
I think he just GIVES you 3 chaos spawn if your army isnt full.

Wotjek aproves of this
Chaos Spawn came from good guy Vilitch.
Quality content as usual. Love these style of videos my only wish is that it was longer!
Bear Force One.
And yeah, it's a Tzeentch thing, Vilitch specifically.
Boris the guy Ritchie's spectacular film "snatch" reference
they should let Boris able to recruit all types of bears
That Snatch reference was spot on 😂 👌
Sneaky f*ckin russian
Loved Da Bears Campaing Zerk! 😁
Who say bears can't conquer the world, Zerkovich the Unbearable Bears Bearer 🐾
"Buff Bears Bearing Big Buffs" quote by Okoii
Yesterday I played as the Ice Court and I had a lord in Praag. Randomly he also got some chaos spawn in his army.
Ever since I looked up Warhammer tactics and found your videos I can't stay away, love your content man keep it up!
Ya had me at Boris the Blade!
You know kislev must have a pretty robust seal breading program to feed all those bears.
The territorie behind cathay great wall are also chaos waste no ?
What an un-bear-lievable video mate, always great to see these little adventures you get up to ❤
LOVE these kind of videos man. thanks.
Did a variant of this with Malaki, I cleard the north and sold every settlement to Boris, same colour and bear power but a little different
I really enjoy watching these themed campaigns! Please keep finding new ones to do!
The thumbnail should have caption “absolute cinema”
Epic Just EPIC :V The north cant bear the almigthy BEAR army
I always struggle with his campaign and here you are making it look easy on very hard lol
It is all the power of the Bear.
@@Zerkovich I wonder how short the video would be if you did the same challenge, but on legendary
Now that seems like an ultimate Endgame scenario
Boris the Bullet Dodger is a top tier reference
im glad boris invented the bear :)
many have said,
he were UNBEARABLE
Haven't watched the video yet but just by the Thumbnail edit I'm guessing this is going to be a banger
Btw I think the spawn is something from the changeling , I've had it playing as skaven Cathay and orcs so it's not a race specific thing.
You want stop apocalypse? Normal Friday in Kislev, get bear, get drunk, wake up Monday surrounded by millions of dead daemons while cuddling with bear, Ursun truly is a loving Father.
I just did the math in my head and ursus told me in my dreams i would have won, so i took those bloodletters out on auto resolve.
This video shows the best thing about Kislev. Bears.
I see a little bit of inspiration from the winged hussars on Boris and his team
not even tzeentch is expecting the bears auto resolve 😂
The Wojtek is strong with this one
as someone fae scotland that glasgow accent was accurate, but get it up ya
We need a part 2 for the liberation of the south XD
15:54 I believe it’s from the changing of ways that the twisted twins have that did that. They have an ability to spawn those for an army.why they did that for you I have no idea. Lmao
The jokes are amazing 🤣😂, keep it up man!
The dynasty warriors reference was gold 😂
3 units of bears is the bear minimum to destroy any army.
10/10 for the Snatch reference alone
Nice Snatch reference!
15:55 I think you have Choas Soawn because Kairoe Faitweaver's and other Tzeentch factions have an ability that can change anynof ypur units into Chaos Spawn, don't quote me on that thpugh because Im not completely sure.

Just Boris!

This man took his right to BEAR arms correctly. Just missing...armed bears.
Bro I love snatch great reference at the start of the vid😂
The Big Bear Manifesto felt alittle more all encompassing when we first wrote it..
it is a tzeetch thing i finally saw the pop up for it when my army transformed into chaos spawn
It would have been the decisive victory on that auto resolve, but the two bears slowed boris down, so he performed worse
"2 bears... 1 .. 2 Borris " AHAHAHAHAH
This video was beary good
1:56 the reason why you would win that auto resolve is because you had Boris
Really enjoyed this one. Nice OP cheese strat that was still interesting as a proposition, plus it felt like a full campaign :)
the puns are bearly bearable

Bahahaha! That intro is just great!
The Scottish "give us yeh phone" had me in tears.
To be honest when i first played kislev i thought the bears where too powerful but i don't mind because i like kislev .
Quoth Kikoskia: “Oh god, they summoned bears! BEARS!!!”
