Literally pirates intercepting a yatch full of businesswomen.

This legit sounds like a real life situation - tanker with valuable cargo gets intercepted by some Somali pirates.

This isn't a disaster. Its the apocalypse. This would be like the next financial crisis taking us back to the bronze age.

ImagIne sending an army carrying your entire nation’s economy on its back... *And here come the literal freakin’ Pirates of the Carribean.* 🏴‍☠️ That’s as Lore-friendly as it gets, minus elves. 🤣

Seeing Legend starts overcasting Spirit Leech and Melkoth's Mystifying Miasma: Damn, looks like this one here is more just than a disaster, it is a catastrophe.

Ah, yes the pirate factions, every game I either: -constantly want to send two stacks to wipe them out while still at peace but never actually do it -am far enough from the ocean to not care about them

This situation may sound absurd, but there is a high possibility that something like this may have already happened in warhammer lore

"CAPTAIN!" "Ye-yeah?" "LOOK!"

As much as a like doomstack vids, these kinda battles where legend really needs to try new or more complex cheese tactics are just great

This is actually a super interesting battle, I love the idea and the risk/weight behind it.

The fact that it was pirates that caught this army slipping made me laugh way too hard.

Normally I skip some of the long casts but this one was gripping from the start and I just had to watch all of it. This battle extols the reasons why Legend deserves his moniker... this battle, although time consuming was Legendary. Great cast. Thanks Legend

I did not think I was capable of being stunned by one of these scenarios anymore, but *wow* this sure is something else. Definitely made me go and spend all the levels that I'd been ignoring on my money mages!

And this is why you recruit your entrepreneurs at the white tower so they start at level 13 or something.

This is the equivalent of having your trade ships raided in empire

You know it's serious when Legend uses 4 control groups.

Watching this reminds me of when an author writes a side novel about all the nerdy secondary characters who end up having to stand on their own and prove themselves.

Gotta say, this one is fucking hilarious.

This game writes some amazing stories sometimes :- D

Perfect situation to describe "Putting all eggs in one basket"

Recovering from Pearl Harbour was a walk in the park for the U.S. compared to recovering from this kind of loss... But papa Legend was there for the rescue. Guerrilla tactics always works

took a shot everytime you said "balance of power" Legend, only made it to 44 mins before I passed out :)

Pirates intercept business cruise for ransom. Rich entrepreneurs fight back with guerilla tactics

That feeling when you lose all your moneymakers in one go.

God tier thumbnail.

It's like when Denmark sent their gold reserves to safety before WW2. The heads of the central bank who ordered the move didn't sleep for days untill the gold arrived.

Top tip: Melkoth's applies a slow as well as damage, would have stopped the depthguard in their tracks as you could have hit them with burning heads and such

Elven entrepreneurs learn why the merchants boats travelling from India to Europe were so profitable for pirates Even while taking place in Fantasy, Total War will have a link to history.

This might be the most interesting campaign saving video you've done. And damn, good freaking job...

I'd just turn the battle timer on and run around there's no way you're getting me to fight this.

Crisis, apocalypse... Come on - this is late compaign, where this guy is obviously dominating. He can loose twice that enterprenewrs and still be ok. The battle itself, on the other hand, was a real disaster and test of skills. You have all my respect Legend - it was a pleasure to watch how you chease and solve this case!

When the pirate just failed the greatest hold up of the history of Warhammer :

I listen to this when I feel a need to disconnect from my own problems. See someone else deal with other peoples problems. Thanks legend. Like Ramsey on kitchen nightmares for gamers.

One of the most interesting battles you've done, Legend.

Me: 5 to 7 minute bloodbath hoping my collective strength and 'tactics' get me the win Legend: so anyways here's how to beat this apocalypse scenario first try

I almost died choking on water when you explain that they were caught by pirates. Make me imagin vampires riding Somali pirate boats attacking a oil tanker

I know that was painful to do... But man, sure enjoyed seeing the creative ways you struggled and fought to come up with to win that one. No way I could have done that. SUPER lucky you got that map though!

This is the type of content I friggin love am I right fellas

This is definitely one of my favorite disasters battles ever covered

when the IRA raids a bank money van...

52:06 - Legend sounds super convincing. Like, you could 100% use that voice-clip in the LoTR for someone wanting to get the hell outta Osgilliath or Minas Tirith.

3-4 months late, most epic title ever and thumbnail

Good thing he leveled their spells, I usually don't bother with it on my entrepreneurs.

LOL! I had this happen once! I was so tired of having a huge amount of “Hero not moved” notifications so I stuffed them into an army so I could just move the army and save myself 20 notifications per turn. Wasn’t paying attention and they got attacked 😂

Pirates vs Entrepreneurs: The Battle For Wall Street

The trees are talking for these pirates lol

You saved a lot of money that the player doesnt need

This is why they tell you not to put all your eggs in one basket. Because if you do, zombie pirate vampires will come and crush them all. or something like that

when the trees start speaking magic

Your money and your life- Warhammer sea raider.

Funniest part is that the whole "army" is just a convenience thing, saves moving the heroes separately. Totally relatable.

Take a shot every time she says men'lui, orio men'lui

So the takeaway from this is don't be lazy. Send your entrepreneur wizards individually even if it takes 5 minutes.

Pirates finally choose right targets to plunder. Lol 😂

I wish we could make custom scenarios for Total Warhammer, because something like this would be really fun to try

lol, that is hilarious! Most original SYDB yet!

Alternate Titel: Save me, spirit leach

This is a total disaster but I can't blame the guy for getting into it. The whole thing just looks ludicrously unlucky. I would be screwed because I give all my entrepreneurs map skills like blocking armies and such but then I never put my entrepreneurs into an army. It would certainly make them easier to transport and easier to skip their turns ... actually I may start doing exactly that and hope I don't end up in a situation like this one.

Simplest way out of such a situation would be to activate the shortest time limit and run away until the countdown hits. But that would be quite dissatisfying. Most efficient way would be killing the enemy Lord. Spirit-leech the Lord to death and the rest will crumble.

If we took a shot for every balance of power in a video we'd have died from alcohol poisoning. XD XD

How did I only see this video now! Incredible

Timmy, why the noob mistake🤣🤣 "slap on wrist"

Easily the most impressive thing i've seen Legend pull off.

They don't have a forest penalty so might be good to blob them up in the woods and lure people in. One Minotaur hero built to go as fast as they can could be your sneaky arty killer/lure. Know you talked about grouping single entity units together to reduce enemy DPS but it also seems to work really good for low entity units. Have been using clumps of skinwolves and trolls with marauder champs squeezing people into the furry blender and it works pretty good in single player.

and Joe Exotic as the thumbnail xD very suiting lol

Greatest thumbnail so far.

this is why i subbed, love the save my campaign battles.

ya know you could have avoided the battle by just having the heroes leave the army and walk the rest of the way on foot.

1 Arch Mage and 19 entrepreneurs go on a business trip, but are attacked by pirates? Somebody make this canon Warhammer lore!

Don't threaten Legend's piggy bank

After looking at the thumbnail at least 5 times, i cought myself laughing at least 10 times. Ftw i cant get over it. Great Job.

Watching this video is a prime location for just setting yakety sax on repeat.

12:12 38:48 high pitched mocking compilation

Why not use metal magic?? It's pretty good especially with this many winds and a final transmutation would hit everything in the radius being quite effective against the more large units and cav type (Prometheans)

38:47 "tAkE a ShOt EvErY tImE hE sAyS bAlAnCe Of PoWeR"

LegendofTotalWars version of Whac-A-Mole

Wow. this is like the Board of Directors for the top 500 American companies all bit it in a freak airplane accident.

on the edge of my seat for this one lol

How does CA not program the AI to continue when a unit is spotted or to send mobile units to scout IF no detection, etc? It's fun and I've done similar things with hiding units but it shatters immersion. You should still be able to run and hide, just not run into forest and go into "undetected" mode. The enemy should at least investigate the immediately adjacent forest you're hiding in.

best thumbnail + title ever

Must lucrative heist the pirates ever attempted.

BEST . THUMBNAIL . EVER .

Now that's a doomstack allright.

Firstly, sorry for my broken English. I would love to play that battle. Be honest I think Legend did terrible job using spells, wasting magic in this battle and the way he put them in group. Examples: -heal random heroes -did not check what mage have cheaper spell to middle of the battle. -shadow wizard should be with running heroes (can use slow on enemy) -he used few spirit leach in same time on one units, and that doesn’t stack, one SL per time, 13s and another. 11:32 -Spirit leach is amazing for units with 16 and less entities, if more don't use it. -fireball vs over casted fire ball it's essential double dmg to high armor. (AP DMG!, more explosion dmg, and larger explosion radius. it's 720 dmg vs 720+360AP=1080 dmg. -summoned unit also are amazing to distract enemy and save mages -combo of Upgraded Piercing Bolts of Flaming and slow spell. was best for high armour enemy it soo many times wrong spell used for wrong target. also in desperate you can boost mage ability to fight male, and when that is 10 of them they will won most male infantry that was in that battle. if someone have that save file i can give you my e-mail.

Soul quench is a better fireball than fireball.

me screaming eagle for 2 minutes as the Necrofex closes in

Cheese for the cheese God!

Deloria will remember that

this guy threw federal reserve bank right front of enemy lol

Whole army full of wizards, didn't use pit of shades once, waiting for the day when Legend realizes how good that is overcasted.

Never seen this map before but god damn, you could build an amazing defence here with an actual army

19 Entrepreneurs caught by pirates. This is a good plotline

Now this, this is a proper disaster battle

well... it wasn't THAT bad... he still would have had millions in treasury and over 100k income per turn without those mages... but still, i can't believe you actually pulled of that win :o i think on just about any map other than that one there'dd be no friggin way lol

Literally stripshow into stealthkill

this is the disaster battle with the highest stakes of all time

Teclis told you there would be days like this.. Teclis said. dont walk fly or ride..

Best thumbnail yet.

you sovled the lehman crisis

You should have refused to play the game until they corrected the spelling error in entrepreneur
