Playing Archaon is basically friendship building simulator but extremely violent. So it's fitting for Spiff. He basically is the Everchosen of video game exploits. He is Spiffing the Everchosen!
Technically Archaons whole endgame was to use power of Chaos to flip middle finger to Chaos. What's better way to do that then after conquering the world on verge of total control just say that you're bored and retire to be next emperor, blueballing said "gods"?
@@taffelost6221 no he can't. That would just lead into massive genocide and destruction of entire world (in long run) if Ruzzia would be allowed to do whatever they want.
It is said that no one hates the Chaos Gods more than Archaon. This is the ultimate revenge for him. Instead of destroying the world, he will rule it peacefully, with no one ever fighting each other.
If you did this with Soltek suneater, your leader would have gotten a 5% bonus to weapon strength and unit mass for each of your vassals. By then end you would be a one man doomstack.
"Breaking treaties with vassals to create new vassals will now break correctly and impact your reliability rating." Spiff has done it again, he has changed the world by revealing its stupidities. Truly a glorious moment for Tea Drinkers everywhere.
@@bensoncheung2801 well you see, tea is this hot beverage, you drink beverages, you drink tea you are tea drinker. If you drink alcohol, you are alcohol drinker. Or drunk. or both. Alcoholic works too. Teaholic not so much.
All the vassals sitting around a table commiserating how much they absolutely hate you while they do what you tell them. I love it. It's like playing D&D.
Reminds me of that Sun Tzu quote “Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer.” but in this case the enemies not only want to be as close as possible but they're even giving you money so you can get closer with the friendly factions too. It certainly makes everyone seem mentally insane.
Given Warhammer Fantasy lore, this isn't the most outrageous thing I've ever seen. I also loved how by the end, the other chaos factions were really pleased with you. Be'lakor in particular was just a big fan of the subjugation and spread. What a lad.
I didn't know that Archaeon of all people can accomplish world peace this quickly and easily. Every faction is alive and no one can declare war on each other. Truly peace in our times.
@@BloodwyrmWildheart Maybe you should read up on your history. The only things the Brits and other European nations gave their colonies were famines, unequal laws, genocide and slavery.
Archaon was the best for this mission, because when you vassalise you also gain friendship for chaos factions, allowing you to be loved and hated by your vassals
You should have picked Kolek Suneater since he gets stronger with each vassal you get. He becomes absolutely massive when you do something like this to break the game. He becomes larger than the walls of a settlement.
Love this AU where Archaeon the Everchad unites the entire world under one banner, thereby ushering in a new era and changing the series name to Peacehammer
1:40 Fun lore fact: Archie is actually a less dorky name than the pre-chaos-alinement Archaon had in canon; Diederick. Archaon's original name was Diederick. Later Diederick Kastner after being adopted into a noble family taking on their surname.
I think strength ranking is not determined by the amount of land you hold or the vassals you have, but rather the size of your military. It’s happened to me before that I would fight a faction that’s considered stronger than me, wipe out their entire military in one turn, and by the next turn they’d be considered one of the weakest factions on the map, even if I didn’t take any settlements.
When you try and declare on someone it will take into account the combined strength rankings of you and your vassals! I'd be curious to see just how skewed the bar is vs. the bigger factions later in the game.
This is the most cursed image. A giant flaming Chaos Warrior riding in on a flying fat unicorn farting rainbows, spreading the word of chaos via FRIENDSHIP
I just realised that even though vassalizing some of these factions should be next to impossible through legitimate gameplay, the characters still have individual dialogue for the event.
Nothing is impossible. For example you can befriend anyone by giving them sufficient gifts. Giving them treasure and trading them settlements (for nothing).
Watching your 'Perfectly Balanced' videos usually have me stunned with the degree by which a game can be broken, but this one literally had me slack-jawed. Behold the power of Yorkshire Tea!

I had a game of TWW2 where my archeon had a defensive alliance with wood elves and several of the french factions, and very high rep with dwarves and high elves. All because i spend 200 turns playing wack a mole trying to wipe out the vampires.

On turn 2, you can vassalise the Khorne faction next to you if you offer to join the war against Boris Ursus. Doesn't work on turn 1 or 3, has to be turn 2. They will also pay you a few thousand for the privilege. Archaon is so much fun.
@idiotgaming6376 maybe they need diplomatic contact with each other first? To be honest Im having similar problems. Maybe they changed something? You can try offering to break trade agreements. It doesn't actually break the agreement, so there are no consequences.

That's because of Archon's faction effect, giving him positive relations with chaos aligned factions for each vassal he has.
