Executing Everyone as Yuan Bo in Total Warhammer 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Because this was recorded before the AI Stats Modifier slider was explained - I assumed it was on top of the battle difficulty, rather than a former part of it. Because of this, it was set to normal for this campaign. In the future, I'll be setting it back to very hard for the most part.
Yuan Bo, the resolute Emperor's Executioner, embarked on a harrowing quest to secure the four elusive Astromantic Relays scattered across the mystical continent of Lustria in Total Warhammer 3. Armed with his unparalleled mastery of tactics and unyielding determination, he navigated treacherous jungles, battled ancient serpentine guardians, and outwitted cunning Skaven warlords in a relentless pursuit. With each conquest, Yuan Bo harnessed the potent arcane energies of the Relays, gradually weaving an impregnable web of power that spanned the continent. His triumph resonated across Lustria, as his strategic brilliance and unwavering valor united disparate factions against the encroaching chaos. As the Relays' energies surged under his control, the Emperor's Executioner stood poised to reshape the destiny of the war-torn land and lead its inhabitants towards an uncertain yet hopeful future.

Remember when we thought the chaos dwarves were op?
powercreep is a hell of a drug
They still are
Cathey is less op than them
@rakkerkongen3016 they are still are best faction in some ways. Still better than Cathey
I dont feel any particular faction is OP, there are just some factions with too little going for them. WoC, Chaos Dwarfs, maybe Greenskins, VC are top notch but nothing you cant deal with.
New faction effects: *entire new resources, menus, and units*
Old factions; “eh you get vanguard deployment. Sometimes.”
The orcs running off and only coming back when you have a larger army makes perfect sense for orcs, since it means you're now able to give them a better fight.
"Gotrek and Felix are doing a very good job of not dying" is an accurate summary of all the William King books.
I did not realise just how BUSTED Yuan Bo was.
50% spell intensity perk? Meanwhile the Slanns are barely getting 10% despite being the Apex casters of the warhammer world
Lizardmen getting shafted by CA is business as usual at this point, sadly. What annoys me way more is that gameplaywise, Yuan Bo completely outclasses his siblings in any regard, and is a complete Gary Stu lorewise.
I'd argue that Lizard men have some op AOE magic but unfortunately Cathay isn't an exception to lores like lore of heavens and lore of life. Both of those are super op but damn if heavens doesn't get the best aoe.
I hate overpriced dlcs
I thinks it’s worth it tbh
@@netn1917found the CA plant
@@dominicpizano887ngl I kinda agree all 3 lords look fun and the price isn't that bad compared to games like overwatch, the Sims, city skylines, etc
@kiwiconephoneshome do you think that its worth almost half the game? And 150% more than normal dlcs? And them lying about the reason of the price increases?
@@kiwiconephoneshome I agree with you that the 3 lords look fun, the developers as per usual have produced something very good, however I would not call it well-priced. I am most likely still going to buy it because apart from random games, warhammer III is the only game I play, so its worth it for me. Definitely not well-priced though.
3:32 had something similar happen in a Nakai campaign where I ordered some ancient kroxigors to go through the gate they just broke down, and instead maybe 2-3 went in whilst the rest literally ran around the whole perimeter, circling back around to the gate. They got there just as the siege ended...
I have had it down with a Tomb Scorpion. They have an animation where they dig underground and then pop up to attack. Mine popped up into the walls and got stuck.
@@maxpower3990happened to me too
Literally ragequit a Skarbrand campaign a few days ago to this, as my warriors and marauders would refuse to enter the gate and bully those blasted tomb kings. Then when I cooled off and went to try it again today a mod was wrong and bricked the save, womp womp.
playing Yuan Bo is like using every cheat mods you can find in steam workshop
yeah... personally I feel like his faction mechanics look pretty boring (like CA went all out on making him and his faction powerful but forgot to make them fun) but it's undeniable that he's possibly one of the most OP thing that CA's released in quite a while (pre-nerf Gorgers might just beat him by virtue of being a regular unit that can be spammed while you can only ever had 1 Yuan Bo), almost certainly the most OP LL that they've released in the trilogy (not counting the Changeling since by virtue of being able to become any LL or LH they can always just transform into the best one, meaning that it's always just the best one+the extra option of the Changeling's own form. without simply becoming a different chararacter the Changeling itself looks fairly mediocre power-wise. it's greatest power is to stop being the Changeling and become something better... I'm guessing its custom battle/multiplayer cost will probably change based on which form you choose for it)
man it's so annoying seeing yuan bo gets all these nasty magic amplifires all the meanwhile mazdamundi who is supposed to topple whole cities with a wave of a finger can't cast o proper spell
Yeah its annoying as hell. With so many factions left to fall behind and rot while every new one is more OP and have more mechanics than the omn before really screws up the game and then add all the other issues on top of that. Its a complete mess, its no wonder there was such a massive backlash.
@@Crucial_End It's done on purpose to push people into buying the new, shiny toys.
I really like that Yuan Bo does start at/with multiple locations.
Changes things up from the eternal " beat your first and intentionally weak rebel enemies".
Keep in mind that trade income =/= trade tariffs. Trade tariffs are only a very small fraction of your actual trade income. You can see it in the treasury menu in the trade rider. It's like 15 gold per trade agreement or something like that.
More money is more money.
@@teal_m_101 yes but it's nowhere near as crazy as he thought it would be
@@olafthemoose9413 Making numbers
Depends on how much you care about the “too many trade partners” penalties. If you’re trading with every faction you’re friendly with (which is often the only way to get them to SHUT THE HELL UP during the AI turn) more often than not you’re out of trade resources and tariffs are all your getting. When you have ten trade partners 150 extra GPT may not seem like a ton but it is another chaff unit paid for in full.
I know that this is one of the least broken things about this nation, but the fact that they don't even have to worry about micromanaging the harmony in their buildings is just silly
This is a broad change to Cathay and makes them a shitton stronger. They get various bonuses on a provincewide basis for having harmony, or an excess of Ying or Yang.
That's pretty cool then, as nice as the harmony bonus was for Cathay before, managing it through a 15 region empire with having to plan 4-5 turns ahead for slower buildings was a trip
"Mazdamundi just mazdamundied" is my personal go-to punchline for beating the oversized frog.
Yuan bo is so hilariously overpowered. My strategy with him is send the rest of the army into a corner to play pattycake while the dragon wins the fight for them.
Finally a new video, we shall treasure it
"Mazdamundi is Mazda-done-di"
Top tier pun right there, not even sarcastic!
The most interesting is the stacking 200% magic power buff on casters, heroes, and jade lions. 1 overcasted blossom or cassadora wipes 400 enemies
3:21 the run is actually very typical for oriental films. If you ever watch films about the Oriental’s medieval/ancient periods from nations like Japan, Korea, China, Etc. you will often see the fighters run like that when they have their sword drawn out. I am unsure if there is a practical reason for it (maybe having the blade behind prevents you from tripping and hurting yourself or something) but it is very common in the depictions of such settings.
Just hold it on the side down, not backwards. That is less practical or sheet it, if you really need to run a long way.
@@foreignfat6009 I didn’t believe it was really practical anyway, I think it’s just because it’s meant to convey killing intent when in a fight. For context, they only ever run like that in films when they are within a couple metres of the opponent. They draw their weapon, hold their sheath with their other hand and sprint before opening with a diagonal or horizontal slash. Again, I’m sure the films do it for flair and symbolism
@@KleinesStein Movies like flashy, useless moves... Like spinning in a sword fight.
Charging with anything that isn't shortsword or a spear, is horrible. Funny how people like impractical things
@@foreignfat6009its warhammer fantasy what do you expect
@@Calebyeeepp Nobody asked
If you want a Cathay campaign, try women only. Only women lords, heroes and unit models.
I tried it with a Realm of Chaos campaign but had to cheat and buy the statue thingies for front line.
The only thing you can do to get an easy confederation is to get Miao Ying into a war with all of Chaos and have her main army get slaughtered in the wastes. Totally not how I confederated all of Cathay as Zhao Ming (before 4.0 of course). It's not really easy, but. . . All you need is to tangle them up in too many wars to handle for an AI. Maybe get close to an enemy settlement, hope that she attacks it and decline the attack yourself in hopes that she will lose or get so weak, that she agrees to it. The best way to confederate your friends is to ruin them.
or just get a mod that turns confederation into something feasible rather than nigh-on impossible.
Good suggestion, I like being a vanilla player though. . . I say with one button respec and better camera mods in.
Yeah confederating is kinda bullashit at the moment.
@@Koyu_Ruh I doubt its the intended design for confederation to be so difficult you have to game the system just to weaken them enough to confederate.
I use the mod that makes confederation auto-success after 150+ relations in conjunction with recruit defeated and a difficulty mod that applies a campaign-wide relations penalty.
I find it more fun to just beat someone into the ground or sacrifice economy over army baiting and war manipulation.
@@JohnSmith-zf3ykI’ve found confederation to not be too extraordinarily difficult. Why would someone join your faction when they’re doing well for themselves? Doesn’t matter if you double or even triple their power, it makes sense that plenty of factions just won’t abide by that. Taking over a whole faction with a single click is *supposed* to take a LOT of effort to get there. 150 diplomatic relations isn’t nearly enough imo
Why not split this up to 2 videos and make them a little bit longer? It almost feels like you do these campaigns a little too fast. I would enjoy a campaign as you did before, with a few episodes before it's over? Anyway, it was a great video!
There are a ton of different reasons for that change.
1. Personally, I would prefer to watch this style of campaign/video
2. Making one of these every two weeks (really ~10 days of work. Currently working with an editor to get back to one video a week) takes way less time and effort than making a multi-part series with the same amount of content. This allows me to do more of the challenges that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I have a list of like 40 that I want to try, and I also want to start branching out into more other games.
3. I'm trying to find different ways to show more of the content that I cut from the main videos to those interested in it. For the moment, I'm working with an editor to make one battle video out of each campaign on my second channel @additionalstupidity
4. I'm able to put more time and effort into the editing and try new things rather than having that aspect feel too formulaic
5. By increasing my average views per video, I'm able to make *a lot* more money from sponsorships. I'm hoping to move across the country soon, but that shit is expensive.
EDIT: Depending on how things go, I'm open to a lot of options for the future of my content. It all depends on how things work out with my editors and a few new things that I'm working on in the background.
@@BrilliantStupiditythanks for the explanation!
@@BrilliantStupidity Wow man! Thanks for your long explanation. I hope you had a copy and paste answer, because I would almost feel bad taking so much of your time that it must have taken to give such a good answer. ❤️
I had no idea that the average views per video made such a impact on sponsorship dollars! I think I've heard that views usually drops when doing a series instead of a one off.
I was thinking a series would be able to extend an idea from 1 vid to 2-3, just to extend the value of the specific idea. Milk it, so to say.
But you sure don't seem to need it if you have more than 40 ideas and a ton of work ahead of you.
Thanks for taking your time to answer and for the interesting insight! I'll be around, liking and commenting now and then. Have a good one!
When I finally play this after like the New Years sale (maybe if they mark it down enough) I really hope they make some QoL changes to Cathay as a whole.
Yuan-bo is free DLC. I get where you were trying to go with this but it doesn't apply here, lol.
@@JohnSmith-zf3yk no he's not
@@JohnSmith-zf3yk My homie the DLC is literally focused around the Changeling and Yuan-bo with a throw in Kislev LL. Have you just not been paying attention for a month?
@@dabbingtoast7743 My b. I've only hopped on once or twice and saw the "Yuan-bo access now!" advertisement on the main menu. That's usually for unlocking the free legendary lord that releases with the DLC.
Been spending most of my time playing mechabellum, lol.
@@JohnSmith-zf3yk Free LL? LMFAO. CA stated that they are halting FLC Lords this year as a whole to compensate for a higher quality DLC, which doesn't seem to be the case as of lately.
So they just copied Roar of the Jade Sea and charged 25€ for it?
4:50 undead units are immune to fear and terror(I am pretty sure)
Brilliant would you consider doing a Cathy all melee peasants campaign? Cathian infantry are trash and I kinda wanna see how far you can stretch their abilities.
What's the point of being the Emperor's Executioner if you can't kill anything and everything that even remotely looks at you funny. It's kinda in the job description.
crazy how op these dlcs campaign mechanic and heros are to just atract buyers ...
People be Action as if this wasnt amways the case, look at all the scaven units rhat arent dlc, that is powercreep, this, is jsut average
This DLC has more power creep than usual though. Look at the SEM for example anti large + mortis + debuff/buff aura with a beam attack added on top of that lol. Tier 2 archers with 150 range ap missiles and slow ability basically outperformning their higher tiered ranged units and then we have the insane lords themselves and their mechanics. This DLC is crazy power creep even by WH standards.
The relay at Hexotal is important for hero stealing by making all characters immortal
I just cant get myself hyped about numbers being tweaked. Is it cool for those global bonuses? Sure. But modders can add text and upgrades in just fine. With dlc I want new really cool units. Here we got some reskins. Great
still a good vid btw
I am a little dissapointed that you bough the dlc :/
Here is an idea for a Cathay playthrough:
China used to vassalize outsiders. Play as one of the other 2 Cathay Lords and vassalize at least one faction of every race and conquer the rest, until the entire world is either ruled by you or your vassals.
I can't believe how many bugs game designers get away with I am and 8k+ total time played across wh2 and 3 and I love it more then any game ever made. Saying this I would also like to make sure we never stop high lighting the things we need to improve on. I hope wh3 lives for another 10 years. Sometimes I wonder about the internal politics of CA destroying it
"...specializes in two things: diplomacy, and killing things."
Should I input the Civ reference, or should I expect people to make the connection on their own?
"Diplomacy is war without bloodshed. War is diplomacy with bloodshed."-Mao ZeDong.
lol, they call it stone when that is 100% supposed to be jade
ive gotten better at this game just watching these different series
Dont take this the wrong way but I prefer your other videos with crazy stacks of unassuming units. Was still a good watch though 😁
You should do a Channeling campaign, like flip a coin for every decision you make or something...
Also, Mazdadundee is not terrible lol
ahh another Cathayan dragon for Imirk to... forcibly 'befriend'
Yeah unfortunately by the time you get the cool compass shit the game is already WAY over
Im not gonna lie, I miss the classical music during the battles, but I heckin love that you switched it to P5 castle music
I feel your pain with the sieges - personally I've just given up on trying to find the fun in those and these days I always play with mods that remove settlement and siege battles wholesale. With the pathing and gate issues worse than they ever have been I can't stomach the annoyance anymore.
For a while I actually went back to Wh2 because of that stuff - sieges were annoying there as well of course, but it's shocking how much less of a hassle they are in that game.
Shogun 2 siege>warhammer2/3 sieges
@@alexanderlow919 Absolutely. Those are also janky at times, but absolutely agreed.
Hell, they work as intended overall - that's a humongous step up already in comparison!
I only played one Realm of Chaos campaign with Yuan Bo and was flabbergasted at his Power, not for his unit, but for his faction. Increasing Research Rate per province? owned The matters of the state mechanic and on top of it the additional compass modes. The other two Siblings have literally NOTHING unique about them. The most unique thing is that Miao Ying can "see" when the next Norsca incursion is (those still keep happening even when the Northern Provinces are defeated) I had hoped with the update they'd get a bit more unique as well :/
And for the Fortress city Shenanigans. In RoC you have a 4 settlement starting province. By turn 60 (and a bit) I was able to recruit a Full Stack of Tier 5 units at Rank 10 in 2 or 3 turns in his starting capital. That's absurd ^^'
Not to mention you can request ANY non hostile (non LL) Army on the map with it. ANY! You could get the Norscans, or Greenskins or WoC as long as you're not currently at war with them!
Btw something I only learned recently (and I have 600h+ into the game by now) For a confederation to even have a remote chance to work your relationship has to be above 150 and the faction you want to confederate can't gain another settlement for 7 turns. If they get ANY settlement in that time, be it through their own conquest or you gifting them one, the timer is reset. Even then it might take some more time or convincing, but this is the minimum requirement that must be met. Also, involving them in wars can make it easier. When I played Yuan Bo and Miao Ying was refusing to confed I just said "fugg it" and asked her to join my war against a Chaos faction. When I put that request in the confed button immediately went green ^^'
Great video!
Still waiting for that magic only campaign.
5:44 the enemy lords name is just bird an*s
Only 3 new Cathay units is a massive shame. Like, they need some more war vehicles and more artillery. And a sky-ship that's actually. You know. A *ship* and not a pot suspended by balloons with little flappy wings that...somehow moves and steers with a ship's wheel?
"It's almost like a naruto run, but not quite" - BrilliantStupidity 2023, talking about Yuan Bo
Ehhh, I'm pretty sure you understood the trade tariff wrong.
If you look at your trade deals, you sell them the stuff and you buy their stuff. Looking at my trade deals, the tariffs were roughly the same regardless of how much I was selling to them. So as an example in my current Oxyotl campaign it was roughly 300 regardless of if I sold them 800 worth of stuff or 4000.
So I think the tariffs depend on how much you *buy* from them, not how much you sell them. The amount of stuff you import is dependent on how much territory you have (I think). So after a quick calculation I gained a bit over 300 Gold in tariffs per trade partner, I had 12 of them, so I made roughly 4000 per turn in tariffs. I had however a 72% increase, so it was a measly 2300 base tariff income. Meanwhile I was selling them stuff for 12000 per turn while I had 53 settlements.
I'm not sure how the imports scale exactly, but that 25% increase would bring in 500 per turn for me. I boldly assume the imports scale the same with size etc. With your 4k in trade, you probably made around 800 in tariffs, meaning this building gives you 200 extra instead of the 1k you said.
Btw you are misunderstanding what trade tariffs are, so all of those modifiers aren't nearly as powerful.
Tariffs represents the trade income made NOT from a resource.
So its that base, typically 80 gold, from trade agreements increased by that percentage.
The longer you hold a trade agreement with someone, scaling with number of cities they have it does scale. I've seen it hit about 500g a turn before.
It's still impactful, but not nearly as good as you thought.
While playing as imrik I learned a single trade deal can give you 4k gold if you have enough trade buffs it's rather silly watching people pay me 700 gold to get into a trade deal with 500% tariffs
Bruh, I was just saying to myself how the game needed a new 'Wind of Death' spell. Seriously though, those are some cool gimmicks.
wait you mean the new dlc faction is op? couldn't see that coming
What if just, more dinos??? Dinos are cool.
I dont know why, but Yuan Bo looks like Warring Kingdom Tryndamere from LoL. Even his running posture with his sword
This is some primo power creep, how much you wanna bet they barely if at all balance the Executioner ability?
In Yuan Bo's Cathay, *if you Steel you get Stoned.*
It makes me happy to hear OSRS music in the background
good music choice! i like em bones
I tried to look up Yuan Bo on Games Workshop store cause I didn't recognize the character or race. I nearly vomited from what I saw.
Like, what is even happening anymore to warhammer fantasy? What are these models? What is the Grand Alliances? What are these races? Is GW so copyright petty that you can't just have orcs and elfs and dwarves? You got to have Orruk and Aelf? I don't even know where the lizard men are anymore? They even killed off Franz? WHAT IS GOING ON??? The only point of reference that I'm even still looking at warhammer anymore is skaven and chaos.
i love yuan bo
I know I'm a bit late to this video, but regarding confederations, there is a hidden part of the acceptance. The faction cannot have gained any settlements in the past 7 turns. Generally, the factors are 150+ relations, no settlements gained in 7 turns, and some amount of difference in power. Also note that being given a settlement through changing of the ways will reset the timer, which has absolutely screwed over confederation attempts for me.
I think it would be cool if we got one lord or hero who rides on a jade or jet lion
That's the reason why i don't bother buying the DLC anymore... and play only Legendary. If i lose i lose if I win well I am good. no challenge boring games.
I'm pretty sure Yuan Bo was inspired from Jade Dragon Tryndamere fro LoL the running animation is basically the same.
I’ve been playing since the first game, and I literally just learned about overcasting from you…
Dude, what the fuck...
So in the recent 4.2 update, they nerfed his execute ability. You can only use it on an enemy with 25% or less health left, but it instantly kills them.
What’s the stone and steel thing? I’m 200 turns into my yuan bow play through and haven’t encountered this at all for Cathey
Lustria is starting to look like the good ol days of royal rumble
maybe i just have severe mental damage, but Lord Maz-a-done-di is actually pretty funny
Yuan Bo with Winds of Blossom: Bankai. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
Man did I have to rewatch the first minute a few times until I realised you were saying DI-rections. 😐
Playing the Chinese sellout faction? Yikes, fastest do not recommend in the west.
Ah, yes. Yuan. Not to be confused with his Mexican brother, Juan.
+1 for divinity OS2 music :D
1:53 TF you mean "for some reason"? It's because it looks cool. End of story.
Hi
Why would you unironically support the greedy money grub DLC
So did a bunch of TWW3 content creators get the dlc early or something?
“It’s almost like a Naruto run”
- a man who apparently has no idea what a Naruto run is
I’m hearing Skyrim… oh god the courier is coming to deliver a message…
I don’t get it. When I play enemies never make these stupid decisions you keep seeing
...and I see you've forgotten your metal/stones collection?
gifts do wonders on getting factions that are hard to confederate to actually confederate
Should mention in Europe they tell you to run like that in manuscript
"Though you've such a tiny body,
And your head so large doth grow--
Though your hat may blow away
Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!
Though you're such a Hoddy Doddy,
Yet I wish that I could modi-
fy the words I needs must say!
will you please to go away
That is all I have to say,
Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!
Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!"
BASED
Ah yes, just a casual 25% more winds for 25% less winds per cast. It only practically doubles the amount of spells you can cast. Yes, that hero is incredibly broken.
at this point I'm convinced they are deliberately making DLC factions OP af before launch in order to make people pre-order it, to then nerf them into oblivion or complete unplayability *cough* Taurox, Skyrer me-me, Sniktch cough*
Is... that sea of thieves music?...
You could try a Vlad and Isabella (plus minor lords or something, just no regular units or monsters) campaign.
After awhile it gets pretty good with all the ridiculous regeneration.
I don't know why but the fact you use some of the runescape music in the back of your videos really pleases me, i've noticed it for quite a few of your videos and it works really well!

You can turn off show AI moves or just set it to super fast forward so you dont have to sit there for ages watching them casually stroll around the map. Just fyi

Do a ogre kingdoms video pls nobody is cool enough to do it
Dlc oh no i think of a OVERPRICED OP ITEM
I LOVE YUAN BO
Confederation is a lot easier when you have 150+ relation, you had a bit below that at the end.
Time to start upping the difficulty mate! Looking too easy nowadays
how dare you call my adorable birdmen ugly!
