Prisoners with jobs

Surprise hiring, surprise mechanics. Same thing really.

Unilateral human property and labour under article 2 of the 29th ILO Convention

You mean: 1. Happily collect willing tribute from your own region, making your population excited for no other reason that gathering people up for a party. 2. Rewarding people for throwing a party by sending them to the farm upstate, and providing the rest with food and shelter in exchange for their "help". 3. Obtain more willing helpers into your capital and send one of your lords to repeat the process. . Gotta appease the algorithm with wholesome comments.

I would like to add the Skaven into that pool as well.

From a certain point of view, they truly are the most evil. Chaos forces do horrible things out of devotion to their gods. Skaven do horrible things for food. They have a lot of mouths to feed. Dark elves do evil shit simply because its fun and/or turns them on.

Half of them worship Slaanesh, and half of them the Avatar of Khaine, which may or may not be a facet of Khorne...so yeah....pretty much chaos-aligned.

@@rpscorp9457 I think in new codex they make DE not worshiping slanesh anymore. Instead they make cult of pleasure and their kin worship artati the elves goddesses of pleasure if I'm not wrong.

@@fedrickosamuelshidarta970 Why then does morathi leader of the cult of pleasure be the only DE faction aside from npc controlled ones that spreads and loves chaos corruption? I mean the other DE factions dont even have the Arkhan treatment where he simply ignores vampiric corruption.

not anymore, CA nerfed the Entrepreneur trait

@@hermit9168 Not nerfed enough, 15% more income isn't a big deal, even if it's 15% less than before, we'll still be able to abuse it and make fat stacks of cash. It's still an exponential growth, just... a bit less exponential.

@@mathdarven5634 didn't they lose the factionwide tax bonus too?

@@hermit9168 Nope, they still have it. Or should I say they'll still have it in 3 hours and 45 minutes when the patch releases. The tax income isn't even the broken part, it's the local income, since entrepreneur agents in the same province boost eachother. A real nerf would be to make it not raise local income, but local BUILDING income.

Conclusion: we are soo baad.

I had G3 Executioners in a custom battle, 50/50 made it home fighting alone against 1 Skaven Warlord & 6 units of Clanrat Swords.

I always find Sisters of Slaughter and Black Guards an absolute nightmare to deal with if you don't annihilate them at range early in the fight.

I really am waiting for someone to make a tau reference here...

HGE are made of paper vs Darkshrds, and BGN dont do that much damage on melee. DE are basically 6 Darkshard 1 Fire mage for the buff, the rest into meat shield and win win.

Legend needs tea

The god's of cheese are unpleased.

High elves are even the most British looking faction in total war, what a missed opportunity...

A Cheese platter with tea is a good idea.

Actually Legendotw made it with HE on turn 200? DE have a better position i think plus the Awesome combo of sacking with Arks Buff.

Ye own countries you get tax pay up

My basement slaves don't really make me any profit. They kind of just sit there and cry a lot.

Africa hasnt figured out the profit part yet

I too own 17 slaves and make them weave baskets.

How unbritish of all of you your not supposed to have slaves that’s bad you must have indentured workers who you pay £2 per year of work

I thought it was red two.

I'm fairly sure it's red two, so there isn't two blues

@@michaeldaigle7207 The way the puzzle is, is that there are 4 colours, and 4 numbers. each column and row needs to have one of each. in the top line, you have 3 out of 4 of the possible colours, and so the final square in the top right corner of the square MUST be purple. It also must be a One, as two, three, and four have already been selected as well. This provides us with three symbols in the far right column. A purple One, a yellow 4, and a red three. So the only colour left is blue, and the only number left is two. Henceforth, Blue Two should be the correct answer. That said, the person who designed this puzzle sucks, because ideally you would also only have one of each possible option, but the solution requires 2 purple 1's, two red 3's, two blue 2's, and two yellow 4's. *sigh* I consider that a failure of a puzzle-design.

@@michaeldaigle7207 Final completed square is as follows B = Blue; R = Red; P = Purple; Y = Yellow (B2) (R4) (Y3) (P1) (R3) (B1) (P2) (Y4) (Y4) (P3) (R1) (B2) (P1) (T2) (B4) (R3) The ? in the picture is in the 12th position, (or 3rd row, 4th column). Ergo Blue 2. If it was a Red 2, then you'd have a red 2, and a red 3 in the same column. Ergo, Blue.

TheCommunistColin or you know all the other good infantry this guy is high like why does he have a shit army still after a fk ton of turns

he said at the beginning his goal was to make max amount of money, so if he can be successful with armies filled with low level grunts, why would he spend more money on expensive more elite troops he apparently doesn't need? :) - though I agree that his judgement on offensive capability of the Dark Elves is very faulty

@@clefsan well then why does he complain about the auto result when his army is poo poo xD

if you mean his complaint at about 20:40, I assumed he was complaining that the auto resolve prediction was giving him lower odds to win than he felt he should get, not the result itself. but maybe I misunderstood. though I'll say that some of his comments make me think he may not understand all of the mechanics of the game as well as he should before making such a video.

British historians in a nutshell

@@Torsengi mostly American

And..... Balanced.

@@lowerthetone as all things should be

just keep hiring high elf heroes with the entrepeneur skill. it increases 3% of your total global income for each hero and 5% of the local province income. that 3% increase will stack with each hero to the point that you'll get dozens of tousands gold increase/turn if you have enough entreponeur heroes

Legend of total war had a response to this video using that exact tactic. The numbers were terrifying

@@deni140492deni That takes way longer to come into play though. You need influence, gold and most importantly, hero capacity.

@@666Kaca Well currently I'm on turn 106 on VH got 7 of those entrepreneurs in my capital and around 6 more in armies (Teclis is wizard he doesn't get one :þ) 7 full stacks and still go 24k income but I guess I got more provinces than Spiff since I'm really aggressive this late game 7 armies going around everywhere so much fun ;D

Love that dry British humour.

I thought that was a brief foray.

That is a brief foray into TW:WH.

In TW:WH, if you spent anything less than 50+ hours, that's a brief foray. Especially when playing a Mortal Empires campaign.

For any total war game, that is brief.

I love you and I love your family, please be happy forever!

What if we told you you could spend 215 per turn to generate 3K per turn Spiff

Entrepenour is much better than this

Bah... poppy-cock. Just play the dwarves, and who cares how much money you make, because you spend almost none of it. I usually break 100k by turn 30. They get bonus income from mines and tool makers. The armies are relatively cheap (compared to other factions). And buildings are free*, which is what you will spend the most money on early game, obviously. Also, they are bluebies, so have a lot more other factions to trade with. Once your trade routes are set up (with your better than average mines) you start cranking the cash. If i dont break a million in the bank by turn 75, I built wayyyyyy too many armies. *"Free buildings? what? HOW!?!" It's all about the traits, gotta pay attention to the traits... 'Ancestral blood: Grungni"... what else are you going to do with all those runesmiths?

@@hohenzollern6025 oh, if that's true. Thank you, never knew

@@hohenzollern6025 Dawi shmawi, LegendOfTotalWar did a top 5 richest total war factions video where the high elves were making over a million each turn, the province with all the enterpreneur heroes made either quarter or close to half a mil don't remember which it was. I think it was the enterpreneur, it's the trait that gives 3% extra taxe income across the kingdom.

People paying tax makes me the happiest empire in the world
