"Why did he wait for enemy reinforcements to show up?"
So that he could summon the legendary commander Legend of Total War as his reinforcements. You aren't allowed to summon him unless the battle is unwinnable or extremely interesting.
14:05 if you want to watch the charge of the bloat brigade. Very cinematic with the desperate archer fire.
Felt reminiscent of the battle of Helms Deep
it's stuff like this that will make it hard for me to go back 100% to historical titles. It's so satisfying to nuke units with bloated corpse, or spells, or... nukes.
I must say. I was completely hooked with Rome and Shogun 2. Before Warhammer those were my go to that I drooled to play. I didn't consume all Total War games and I had my breaks. But now? There is no competition. Unless they will roll out 40k or Medieval 3.
If the historical TW game was actually good, as in had good battle mechanics, AI that doesn't suck and complex campaign map mechanics, then they would still be enjoyable. Case in point: Medieval 2 still offers an experience TW:WH titles cannot provide. They make up for lack of variety due to historical setting with actual gameplay. Shogun 2 also does a good job.
Problem is, CA is no longer making such games. They are basically stuck with TW:WH 3 and making DLCs for it, all their recent endeavors prove they are no longer able to make a new, compelling TW game, historical or not.
in my opinion the only way historical titles can come truly back, is if the AI is MAJOR Improved to a point, where it fells you are playing a human player
Medieval 3 will get me back to historical. Medieval 2 was my entry title and I will always love the aesthetic and changes in time period. Its just so classic.
death, comes from the sky!
At 9:30 the ai decides to send their entire infantry to chase two half-dead scurvy dogs. Thats why i don't think the recent hotfixes are enough...
well the elfs have artillery so makes a bit snse but yeah agree more fixes
@LegendofTotalWar hey Legend, Thanks a ton for saving my disaster. I was hoping to make a battle marker there. I didn't expect the ai to suddenly recruit a bunch of eagles since they didn't have em when i ended the turn. The scurvy dogs were good at pinning the cavs down but not the eagles.
always lead with the less mobile army, make the army with the faster units trail as when you're starting the battle, you want your gunline to be already set up. This one you seemed like you just made a disaster battle as there were a TON of mitigating factors. Your reinforcements were purposely the wrong way, if you were planning on doing this why didn't you make the reinforcements come from behind your sieging army? Also why not just use the chokepoint and just keep sacking the city over and over while using that same map? you could have achieved a better result with just that second army. your chokepoints are your friend with the VC. Also don't discount your gunnery mob with pistols, they're a better secondary line than depth guard in most cases except on the flanks
The basic Zombie rifle unit is such a versatile force for the Vampirates, one should never go anywhere without at least a handful of them.
At least until you get regular access to Deck Gunners.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle Deck Gunners are great, but they are a dedicated long range unit, you need something for shorter ranges that can dish out higher DPS than the Deck Gunners. I recommend a 2:1 on the regular rifle zombies and the Deck Gunners.
Because if you get flanked and attacked in melee, the Deck Gunners instantly go down while the riflezombies can hold at least a while.
@@sim.frischh9781 Fair enough, but if you're using them right, they're basically faster firing Jezzails. Still, having a small frontline of Rifle Zombies, or Shotgun/Scattershot Zombies is a good idea.
Though, you could eventually replace them with Necrofexs.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle Yes, especially for the Main Army, but the Zombie rifles are still valid for secondary armies to defend your stuff and/or raid enemy territories, search for Treasures ect.
@@sim.frischh9781 Oh, naturally. 100%. They're cheap to maintain, and can handle the majority of lesser threats. And if there is a bigger threat coming, retreat the army back to a city, spawn another, recruit a ton of chaff, and problem basically solved.
Bloated Corpses: Once you pop, you can't stop!
Sound almost like a powerman 5000 song lol
It looks better Legend, I didn't notice any framedrops in this one. Good job with setting up OBS, that thing is wonky in the best of days.
Fun battle with the bloateds, it's nice to see how you changed your view of them from the first times I watched you a couple years back (useless units) to today (useful, if niche).
I've had a lot of success in the past with the strategy the player described. The settlement isn't the target at all it's just bait to get the true target in as reinforcements where you can use their disorganised state to pick them apart with a high burst damage (spells, bloated corpses, nukes, etc..)
the things that have gone wrong here are;
a) The army still needs to be able to beat the settlement army and mop up the reinforcements, so attacking a settlement with a garrisoned army and having an army with artillery and next to no front line where both big mistakes.
b) The reinforcements are coming in behind the enemy lines meaning you can't set up an ambush without the ambushers being exposed
their armies are the wrong way around, usually this strat works better with walled settlements not field battles as you can see the issues with the reinforcements coming in the wrong angle (which is also the player's fault because you can control where you reinforcements come from
Having that many bloated corpses and waiting for the enemy reinforcements was certainly a choice
Finally... a bloated corpse doomstack
Correct me if i’m wrong but is that a disco elysium pfp? Like one of the personality traits in the game?
@@friendlyneighborhoodcrusad4242 yep, its the "inland empire" trait
Thanks for a fun and explosive fight, Legend!
There are few things more satisfying in total war warhammer then seeing a good bloaty boy explosion.
I've often seen the AI actually send a infantry unit into an approaching bloated corpse. Id have one walk through forest to flank them and as soon as they see it they send a unit of spearmen into it to get deleted. So sometimes the AI actually helps you use them lmao
Though, often, you don't want to use a Bloaty Boi to take out some random spearmen. You wanna hit their archers, or a large group. Not just some spears.
That's actually not a bad strat.
A bloated corpse messing up one unit of cheap infantry is only a little worse than the best result, and prevents it from jumping into big clumps of units, or pricy advanced infantry
@@MrJinglejanglejingle well yeah obviously you want the most damage on the highest value target :D Still turning their archers and have one volley take it out without casualties seems like a better deal than 1 unit just gone
Ive made the mistake before to press end turn without attacking on a siege, that might've been what happened here.
Holy smokes I just learned from this vid that you ca move where reinforcements spawn. This will make my legendary campaign so much easier
500 hours playing, and Legend blows my mind by clicking and dragging his Reinforcement entry point around.
It's one of the few actual gameplay improvements wh3 has over 2.
yea I noticed little to no frame drops on the video nice job legend
11:45 you lost one bloated corpse to that cavalry.
Don't think you watched the full video before commenting lol, that's weird.
yep, was waiting for it when saw it routing
He was waiting for an auto resolve to fold up their defenses in one shot and bit off more than he could chew, best explanation I could come up with
At 11:00 that retreating cavalry behind his guns almost ran into all of the bloated corpses 😂 that would've been a disaster. He did lose one though
I think he was trying to create a great battle site
Whatever you did with OBS works perfectly, no noticeable drops
Ah Flopzy youre the bestest Yarg be told the tales go down of a LEgi that found um a great rottign chheese.. more bloatie bois plz
The adjusments for obs look great. No issues to report.
Hey legend, fun to see you again. A lot of streams thanks for that always watching, was curious if you wanna try to play som beastman in empire they seems not hard but not easy either. thanks for content.
this looks like one of my first campign in wh2 ever. i didnt know how to advance campaign, didnt know what to recruit.... yeah it was pain
Should overlay that clip with Swan Lake music for a RUclips short
shorts are a detriment to my experience of any channel; they provide no value, and you have to turn them off every 30 days (as far as I've bothered to figure out)
Legend's come a long way. Seems like just yesterday he ranked the Bloaters as the worst unit for the Vampirates.
Now he knows.
Now he understands.
The Bloatstreet Boys are back.
Alright
Well they got bugfixed in 4.0. Before that, they were literally useless. Worse than useless, actually. They'd pop as soon as the battle starts, meaning if you've got them near your own units you actually end up taking a lot of friendly fire, on top of obviously wasting the unit.
The AI is a joke, sending basically their entire unengaged army after a couple of units of scurvy dogs and giving you time to deal with them slowly is so stupid
It's literally the only reason I could win some battles.
Knowing how the ai works is hilarious sometimes.
I don't use bloatys often but I find if you have several of them if you spread them out and attack simultaneously from different angles the AI has a hard time prioritizing which one to attack, and usually a few will get through.
yup, VC is one of my favs to play for their bloated corpses. IF you can get one off you can easily wipe out like 3 units.
0:40 remember when they were qualified as bad units for Legend? How quickly the tide turns.
the things i'd do to have a sword and board depth guard variant
Rly good strategy, wait for more enemys to show and then send save to Legend and after he is done you have easy game
YEAA nice one!
The key to victory is to be patient and not blow your load too early 😉
Cheese Adder a cunning plan.. what if we take took a few bloaties after papa Nurgle.. the smiles wed make
The recording looks great, like all your other ones. I've never noticed any video quality issues. Just occasionally lags on live stream when zooming in on a big spell or nuke or something (but there's not much you can do about that. I doubt there's a pc that wouldn't lag a little in that situation). Looks great!
I think i know why he waited for enemy reenforcements, maybe he was thinking he could kill all armies at their reenforcement point with the fat boys
Cheers
It looked to me like the battle was going to be won whether the bloated corpses were used or not. they could have just stayed in the trees
They should add an armored bloated corpse
Belly flop is CA after troy,hyena and pharoah
14:43 GIBBY
I know you’ve just done a vlad campaign but would be good to do a noctilus campaign
seeing you move where your reinforcements come from blew my mind... How long has that been a feature???
Since the launch of TWW3
4 armies on turn 14?
There is no upkeep at all?This in on easy campaign difficulty?
Wait...
Did he just picked the renforcment point of entry and move it arounf the battlefield??? (2:53)
Honestly I love bloated corpses because I can make a suicide army and raise the dead I can take 6 of them in 1 turn and snipe the best units of the enemy and blow them up
No frame rate issues.
Beseiging a settlement for a reason other than needing siege attacker at the start of a campaign is just a noob thing to do
cat
Bloated Corpses are so memey yet so bad in practice. But done right and used like they were intended to, bellyflopping infantry, they are surprisingly effective. But that can ve said for any unit, so Legend again proves his experience in this game to come up with any plan to win with just about any army given.
this player had an AWFUL plan. Wtf did they not scout the map beforehand? That's a perfect chokepoint map... Should have led with the army of gunners to get them into place, and use noctilus' army as the reinforcer since he has a ton of mobile units. Whatevs, not my campaign but super questionable as to if this is even an actual disaster battle or just one they made themselves cuz i see plenty of options here outside of putting myself into a disaster
edit: another thing that leads me to believe this is a fake disaster is their reinforcements are coming in the wrong side. Does this player not know you can control where you reinforcements come in? This seems like they just rushed that second army over at the last second.
Fun fact: the original reason why the AI got so many cheats to begin with is because the Rome 2 AI was so bad.
I can't believe Legend got all of this guy's bloated corpses killed in this fight. 0/10, hardly even a win.
