This was my campaign! I decided on a whim to send this army over to the new world via sea lane to gather more laborers and loot to keep funding my growing economy while I took down the fake dawi for good with my main forces (and to just get a bigger variety of fights). I very much enjoyed your reaction to the kitchen sink army which I threw together haphazardly - it really may be the ugliest army I've ever made. When I fought the battle myself, I didn't damage lizard moses nearly enough outside the settlement so he just curbstomped my forces when he got in. Still won (had to turn down difficulty lol) but with so little I was completely defenseless against the other stacks. I dumped a lot of resources into this settlement thinking it would act as a distraction that would hold off the lizards while my expedition army crippled their economy but I did NOT expect every lizard in Lustria to bumrush it down. Thanks for playing the battle, I hope you enjoyed it (despite it being a siege battle)! Edit: My god there are so many lizards, I think I've seen at least 8 full stacks of high tier units. Did not expect a random expedition to be the biggest challenge of the campaign lmao.

Lizardmen: * take the walls* Towers:*continue to shoot Tehenhauin* Absolutely-totally unsuspicious lizardmen on the walls (definitely not Skaven): No-no! We're not trying to kill-kill stupid-disgusting lizard-thing!

These army abilities are brutal, gonna be a pain to play against AI chaos dwarfs.

I wonder if the towers kept firing because they were targeted before the battle started.

LOL the lizards didn't like Tehene either so they shot him with your towers too XD

I recommend the mod that turns off every capture point besides the main plaza and towers. It also makes siege equipment (rams, siege towers) better

Watching that end turn made me sooo glad that a mod exists to allow you to *not* take an eternity waiting for the camera to move every single time

a dreadquake mortar on that supporting army's spawn would have been brutal

In a battle like this, where the AI deploys in one spot, would it not be better to fight IN FRONT of the walls? This way, you can't be flanked, archers/guns on the walls would do much higher damage, and you get to have the towers shoot the enemy for far longer.

It is interesting to see the game is lagging in campaign also for Legend... this seems to be problem for all of us..

even with the amount of damage the lizardmen took on early in the battle they were still able to bring the hurt that's scary to think if the ai would have simply yoloed in at the start

I know there's a lot of issues but stepping back a little bit, warhammer 3 is awesome, I love the seige mechanics how you can basically play a mini tower defence managing resources to build towers, traps and walls, I think it's all really cool.

Greate job with this one, as always. Keep it up, Legend, your are awesome!

I honestly feel that the AI has got dumber since chaos dwarves

the way he uses heroes and lords to tank for blunderbusses, just looks so skavenish, like the blunderbusses feel like bootleg ratling guns

22:10 that hellcannon shot was huge

had something like that happen during a siege of a great bastion, garrison vs 2 full stacks of Norsca. Dumdums just stood there and got wiped out by the wall towers waiting for the reinforcements.

Do you think N'Kari uses Hellfire cannon barrel as a fleshlight?

On this map, I had Nkaari get chewed up by towers and archers. Allowed my severely out numbered high elves to defeat nearly a full stack.

Honestly, I would like to see like a follow up video about you pushing to and capturing The sentinel of time, continuing this save

bro stepped foot onto lustria looking for trouble and got jurassic park'd instantly

I've seen plenty of times during sieges how the AI when attacking will go entirely around to the other side like the lizards did and all the while getting blasted by towers.

what control large army does...explains it...what he says is in contrast to what he says next "would only hurt myself" by what he says it would mean he would have to wait for one unit while the enemy has to wait for 20...

I hovered over this video and the captions said "Legend of Terrible here" and I lost myself in laughter. Turn captions on at the start and see for yourself. KZfaq is literally flaming this man :D Edit: I had no idea you could drag a wall formation single file to get it that wide :o

Some disgruntled lizard men in those towers shooting their boss like that 😂

Towers sponsored by the horned rat, keep firing on their own lord "accidentally"

I'm going to keep saying it; Maps in which you CAN'T deploy outside the tower range= stupid. The system used to control these wall towers= stupid. The damage output of these free towers= stupid. Add in 6yo gate glitches, and artillery being obstructed for no reason, and the silly capture point garbage all over my screen= stupid. If anyone I worked with came up with a solution this poor, and failed at their job for 6 years, they would be fired.

I'm loving the Chaos Dwarves. They really test your mastery at Total War Warhammer.

i love how the 4th bombardment icon, on the right of the screen, looks like a very od berry :3

Ya could have done even more devastating damage with those army abilities during the time the reinforcements were entering ;3

Yes! A saving disaster battle! So glad to see it

Would it be better if you pop the summon kadai on the izta reinforcement to pin them down and then use all the bombardment on them?

There is a glitch someone shown off. If turn off control large but turn on AI, it pulls in 40 for your side because the 20 unit cap is locked per player. Idk if they fixed it but it's another cheese to use.

My last fort defense. Me: zombie/skelly army Them: two stacks of chaos They stand there tanking hits until reinforcements show up. While i build towers. They abandon seige equipment to charge walls. Now exhausted They can’t make it past my zombie wall with skelly backup. Flying Ai lord charges my lord in the fort and dies being mobbed by skelly spears and garrison ghouls. Heroic victory. AI dumb

i've been playing alberic de bordelaux...those lizard siege towers slap

that replenish ammo trick is so silly, hehe

14 army abilities that are all strong. seems reasonable haha

It’s honestly crazy how CA managed to make the AI worse in a patch where the AI was meant to get smarter. Like the insane blobs they form. It just goes to show they didn’t play test their own patch at all because it happens in every siege.

wow legend, that's really a show of what the new AI do now. Cause i really notice the differences between AI in this version and the previous one. But i'm too annoyed to play this game furthermore because of the crashes and the bugs on the game right now. So thanks a lot for the show, legend! Keep up your good work! 👍

It looks like the towers weren't doing any damage to Thenauin once they captured them so while it was funny it didn't actually do anything.

These towers are nuts. I never played siege battles in such settlements. Are they always this crazy?!

Trap barricades are crazy useful for creating killzones.

lizardman towers are so strong nowadays, constant solar barrages just nuke monsters and towers

So if longer sieges favors the defenders then what should be done with armies that siege slowly like skaven weapons teams? I'm finding slowly picking them apart still works but them building towers and zoning me out is kind of annoying even if I can destroy them.

HASHUT HASHUT HASHUT

There is something about watching this game now, that just looks more broken than ever. How’s everyone finding it

Lizards fragging their CO.

being defender is alien thing to me. because i play as Beastman only.

The towers weren't actually doing damage to Tehenhauin after they took control of them. Towers don't do damage to friendly units.

CA: We know how much you all liked capture points in Rome II so we brought them back! I honestly don't know why they persist with this bullshit. Capture points are fine in multiplayer to give real human players something to fight over and make it more than a battle to the death but campaign does not need capture points. It never has and it never will. If you want to model "momentum" do atilla style destruction mechanics instead.

dissent Ten win the tratoir lizo shottign their boss priceless

the restoring ammo on the barricades is an exploit?

This battle would be over if he summoned khadai as reinforcements came and droped dreadquake/or the other nuke(dont remember the name) on reinforcements

Lot of defensive siege battles recently, wonder if it's coincidence or if CA actually fixed some of the problems.

How do you have the circles ontop of units ?

I just make blunderbuss doom stacks being able to shoot in male is op :D

That hold position you have: THAT is what entire siege battles should be. Just one army holding a single area (the wall), while the attacker throws everything at them. The attacker has to build an army specifically for seiging, unless they want to wait building seige equipment.

Legend of total war more like what a massive legend

restoring artillery ammo is so good. Hope that stays in for a long time

I love these videos but i'm not sure about using the ammo refill exploit every time. It doesn't feel right to me. It's one thing to abuse the AI and work around their stupidity(cheesing) but it's another do just get infinite ammo on units that are not balanced around it.

Sieges are crap still. The maps are also incredibly large, even minor settlements. But you never get any cool "Helms Deep" kind of last stand battles where your lord their full army and the garrisson are defending against an unending tide. Almost all of these are against garrisson and maybe a minor force vs full stacks. You always only defend a small portion of the maps. The towers are bad. No defensive installments aside from the crappy TD mechanics. AI is completely retarded most of the time. I would say that it'S just the nostalgia glasses but a year ago or so I did a full co-op campaignorama in Shogun 2 and the sieges were way better.

Chaos dwarves faction ablities make any 20lvl lord a doomstack.

Well let's be honest the AI towers would have wiped out half my army in about 3 vollies

Wait you can abuse barricades to cheese infinity ammo? What the hell CA...

ttw3 is one of the best and messiest games i every saw, it is just beautiful but the bugs are huge, feels like the game Grounded :D

At this point i think there is no hope for CA to fix sieges in this game, what a shame.

Since when do you see the experience lvl of units during a battle?

Why didn’t he start losing when he lost the minor points?

I’m very curious how this campaign has such high income, armaments, and materials.

Hey at least it’s a settlement defense we rarely get those

It is not easy to impress me but Legend consistently impresses the hell out of me. In any other age of man he would be a Horatio Nelson or Scipio Africanus. The vile degeneration of our age made manifest when men of such clear talents are reduced to playing video games.

Oh, yay. Chaos dwarfs. 👖

LAST !!

Wag1

Please someone send in a disaster where you arent playing as the Chaos Dwarfs. Even if they're the ones attacking you, its fine.

I'm sorry, I just can't watch city sieges. They just ruined part of the game for me. The mechanics are so stupid and maps are again even worse than last time. I just can't do it!

warhammer 3 is one of the worst waste of my money ever...

How bad is that game? Yes. How can they not get some sense full sieges? Sieges was a major downside in WH2 and they still can`t get it right.

Just pick dont control large army and select ai control for the reinforcements, it makes them come in without the enemy reinforcements coming in

A bug that helps the player... that will be fixed in an hr
