he did already said tretch is the WORSE of them all tho.

*cries in Malus's possession mechanic* EDIT: oh okay he got buffs in T&T and can Confederate Malekith in second turn. I'd say he's better than both Hellebron and Lokhir now.

lmao

Don´t offend the beastmen, they look better than that abomination.

@@blackmoon2128 what is your deal with Mel Gibson?

You know what they say: if you want someone to feel good - harm them, and then do as it was before. Powercreep in all its glory. And artificial too.

@Fourthspartan56 There is some logic in your words. But when applied to the game in which Dwarves make an allience with Skaven and High Elves invite Beastmen in a war against Empire, or when said Empire declares war on Talsyn for no reason (because apparently those -10 relations means you are their mortal enemy), you argument pales a little bit. The fact is - diplomacy in TW:WH2 is not good. And +X relations with whatever it is just much needed tool for isolationist factions like WE so AI could leave them the f alone and let them heal the damn forest.

@@Vasiliy9hells before sisters of twilight I wouldn't have thought to play wood elf campaign. Now it is an actuak good campaign.

Not all of them, there are some restrictions. But yeah, the fact that they get expendable is awesome

Just started to get really into TW: W2, can you explain to a noob what a unit being expendable means?

@@Jigsaw550 It means that there is no morale penalty to your army when they die.

@@ElementalEnergyWolf I just imagined bolt throwers shooting dragons that also have noxious breath. Amazing

Hey dad

The crazy thing is that they can still shoot while in melee

does it work? i tried with tomb king but i could only confederate some of the other

@@pietrocogliati9705 Tomb kings needs the submod, and there are some restrictions based on the Lore. Arkhan cannot confederate with anyone, and Settra DOES NOT SERVE, which means he cannot be confederated into another faction. In summary: Khalida and Khatep can confederate each other, but not Settra, and Settra can confederate both of them.

I use one that allows me to recruit the LL's of destroyed factions if they belong to my race.

@@pietrocogliati9705 You need submods to use it with Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast.

personally I prefer "recruit defeated lords" Looking at you teclis, imrik

Underrated comment

I give your naming of him a 10/10

good thing the wood elves have a nice stalking hero for the eagle rider doomstack with 48 volleys of kournos...

They really should allow for all-flying armies in campaign and make this "have one on the ground" only a necessity for online/competitive battles. Yeah, it is a balance thing, but come on, sometimes you have to throw out balance for something that is either cool or makes more sense or even both.

Yeah but that would be weird from a lore perspective

i remember when this was also a problem with confederating belegar, where only some of the ancestor heroes would come along, seemingly at random. very annoying

wouldn't you be able to get Coedill from her questline though?

@@Eclipsed_Embers You would, but she unlocks the item for the quest at rank 5, it's very unlikely you'll confed her before then.

Wait for one or two weeks, the DLC is releasing in 3h30, I bet some modder will fix it. Would be nice if CA does it on their own though

Cant wait to see the Norsca lord ranking.

@@holdinmcgroin8639 ha

@@holdinmcgroin8639 Throgg naturally gets an 11/10 because hes just that good.

@@minerva9104 You mis-read it. 1.1/10 is legends ranking.

@@minerva9104 Throgg aint that bad and saw Legend multiple times bashing him for not having +5 public order from Wulfrik sword. Which is laughable because not only you should but given your position you eventually WILL confederate Wulfrik and get said sword and +5 public order. Frankly maybe thats even easier as this Chain quest really needs to you to raid in Brettonia early on ... not always possible. Better if AI gets it out of ass and you confederate them. You lose Wulfrik factions traits which are very good. But its not that Throgg are really bad. And honestly ? I have used Ice Trolls on both VH and Legendary and with proper buffs / tech in Throgg army they can get literally super insanely strong. Going over 200 weapon strenght which is mostly AP ain't half bad. 0 mammoths - ice trolls, ice wyrms , fimirs , some heroes. Totally scary army. Damage output is way higher than from mammoths. You would be surprised what bunch of ice trolls can do in terms of damage with 200 ++ weapon strenght EACH. And they don't run away all that easily with Throgg and once they got some techs etc.

I agree. It feels like hands-down one of the most overpowered doomstacks for me right now.

I know this is from 7-8 months ago, but legit yeah. I was fighting the Sisters with Malekith and was like "why is everything shooting Volleys of Kunous at me? Why are all my Dreadspears dead before battle even starts?"

And to the new glade riders too. It would help with the early game.

Or just expand it to buff all cavalry in many differant ways. Talsyn could be the Cavalry faction like how the Heralds of Ariel are the flying faction, ect ect.

Well, it's factually what they are anyway, so it's just as likely that both went to the same conclusion without watching each others content. But perhaps it is a reference. xD

I mean their shots are very similiar and changing their ammo has literally the same symbol.

likewise! Just sucks that CA isnt able to balance their game with regards to difficulty (AI buff/player debuffs). So we all end up using some version of "legends doomstacks", just to get by in the end game :P

I hate the same thing. I love how cool units look in this game, and i just wanna watch them charge straight into their enemies. Problem is tho, if I play on lower difficulties, the game becomes really easy and boring, but if I play on harder difficulties, then most of the units that look cool start to suck pretty much. (especially the melee infantries and cav)

@@mcmarkmarkson7115 you can, actually. The way the difficulty system works is just so stupid. The AI gets immense amount of MA and MD bonuses, making your melee troops trash no matter what they're. So you're stuck with magic, ranged units and some monsters. Thet should have a different difficulty system that doesn't focus on only one or two stats

@@erensametkaratas6593 You've probably already tried this, but you can keep battle at "normal" to retain the usefulness of melee units and up the difficulty in the campaign to ensure more stacks to fight.

@@mcmarkmarkson7115 Sorry, but thats just bs... We're talking about a dev team that has 20 years of experience. Why on earth would they have units in the game that make no sense on harder difficulties, forcing the players to adopt doomstacks to ensure "safe" victories, and not use the entire top tier unit roster? I love to use cav, but on harder battle difficulties they underperform badly. I dunno... rant done :P we can agree to disagree ^^

Hahahaha! I missed that. Thanks! :) Made me laugh out loud.

Technically so is all of the warhammer 1 factions to the 2nd game

SoT are OP on every scale. I'm on turn 80 of a legendary campaign and i used their hawk rider stack to beat Malekith black and blue. Didn't even feel skilled. Just felt like I was abusing some kind of exploit.

Legend has expressed his distaste for This is Total War campaigns countless of times on his livestreams, I doubt we'll see one anytime soon, if ever.

@@aliasonarcotics he will make a new one eventually but they are for special occasions.

Drycha TITW? Eh, she's surrounded by Empire provinces and vampires, she can't win both at the same time...

@@dostayer3369 she can't... But Legend can, yes-yes

I shudder to think of a This Is Total War campaign as Wood Elves because of their crappy garrisons. Must be a waking nightmare!

That's easy. 1. Buff Ranged units 2. Buff SEM 3. Be caster The end.

Faction power ranking means what the lord brings factionwide. Those are faction mechanics so they don't count. Same reason why he didn't count Grom's Caudlron in greenskins video.

I dont get it

@@reverseimagesearch0results363 Orion looks like young Mel Gibson

I've been playing Total War games since Medieval 1. Since then, the only games I've missed were Empire and Three Kingdoms. It was awesome to have new maps that expanded small areas but the WE and BM campaigns are the shortest, easiest, and most uninspired, I have ever played in a TW game. I'm glad that you enjoyed it but I didn't and the fact that there have been no more mini-campaigns since then strongly suggests that I'm not alone. Give me a couple of mini-campaigns from other factions that are actually worthwhile first and I might consider playing them again if they get brought into WH3. Emphasis on CONSIDER.

@Hotlikerobot09 I’m with you on this and Sokar (although not for it) brought up a great concept that I would enjoy. More mini map scenarios for the factions. Yes Please!!!

Why the f would they do that ? Mini map campaign are a time sink for CA that at the end of the day is not what people will play the most. That's why they stop doing it, it's a huge waste of time and resources at the cost of the main map. Thank god they took that decision. Let them focus and provide the best campaign exp possible, and most of all, let them focus on the final ME map as much as possible. It's the last game, apart from dlc we won't get WH shit anymore. Anything that takes time away from ME should be throw in the trash bin.

Thats a pretty damn good idea actually

I mean it wouldn't make him much better. Lore of beasts is meh, in practice that just means he has to spread his skill points out even more.

@@heirofcarnage1782 gives him some extra options at least and the balance of spells can always be tweaked. Honestly he needs to be able to buff his troops, doesn't he just buff glade riders?

He is good enough

@@TheBarser Orion is really sub par compared to the current wood elf legendary lords, if you watch legend of total wars lord comparison he details that Orion does not bring much to the table. worth a watch.
