Honestly agree with the final thought of the video about the units, feel like an important part of what makes games with limited units is seeing the buffs built around those units and you just didnt really get to see that this video
I completely agree. I might even split the wheel into challenges. "Archer only" "cavalry only" "magic only" with whatever I think it's possible to do with the faction while keeping things as interesting as possible.
I have my Call of Cthulhu random mental derangements table here with me. According to my dice, after this challenge you now suffer from ecdemomania, doramania, emetophobia, taphophobia and pogonophobia.
Starting off on Ulthuan as Kislev. What an amazing randomizer. And 2:11, the most important question in any campaign. Players are still trying to answer that to this day.
I've seen Warriors of Chaos factions do that with the randomiser mod - I think they need their dark fortresses to let them do their warband recruitment, so when they get put out will-nilly into the world they struggle to raise anything more than a bunch of lords without armies. Kind of like wood elves, having random start locations hits them particularly hard, as they don't do settlements well outside of their pre-scripted economy zones!
11:30 Ah, a Total War AI moment. Theres times where they just do that for some reason, i think its cause they love making large lines when they have a large army.
One of the things that baffles me is when content creators never build up their garrisons. Seriously, your armies can't be everywhere at once, especially when surrounded like this, so having those would stop most of the incursions and reduce them to just raiding, which is stupid of them because it makes them tired and slower. Not to mention you don't lose progress and investment in gold and growth taking those settlements back. Tier 1's, fine, those are cheap, but not building the garrisons at tier two means any opportunist Tom, Dick and Harry can snap it up and cause immense frustration. At the very least, this has got me in the mood for WH3 again.
I definitely agree on swapping the max of 3 units to a max of 5 units... but I'd also suggest putting in a possible "Oh shit I'm losing" option and allow the RoR of the same/similar type. Just to possibly give that extra push in case everything starts to go belly-up.
The one time I used the random start location mod, I was playing Grom and they put me in Tor Yvresse and the game glitched and wouldn't let me build it up. It was an active nightmare too, since they put Eltharion in the mountains near where Greasus starts and he was doing well the entire game. I hated it. Random starting location has always been a nightmare. Anyone who can deal with it automatically has my respect.
One good thing in this type of run where you narrow down your choices is, well, putting a spotlight on a unit you might've underestimated before. Armored Kossars with Great Weapons are pretty neat, even if they are statistically worse than the shielded ones.
Fun vid really enjoyed randomized campaigns and your editing is enjoyable to watch. Also didnt expect the Unicorn Overlord sponsor lol been really looking foward to that game
Really happy I stumbled across your channel, your videos are ALWAYS so well put together and entertaining, keep up the good work you deserve the blow up you’re having!
Well this dude just saved me from refunding this game… wanted to know how to play the world map type campaign and couldn’t figure it out till I saw what he had selected
lately i have been doing randomizer starting location runs too, got lucky with volkmar and got the book of nagash with cooldowns right next to me so that was a fun and bloody fight, best part, i started next to reiksland, so now my job is to reclaim it all, even if my neighbors are nice people, and then get books
Malakai Makaison is a geat slayer engineeer who was cast out for thinking out of normal and he killed some dwarfs with some of his desiegns which is why hes a slayer
I have to say, you should keep the Araby mod and do a run as Jafar, he is very fun and the faction feels very fun to play. Edit: I feel you so much on the cavalry. I made the mistake of gong back and playing Medieval 2 and the stark difference in how the cavalry controls makes me hate the modern way. Hell, take me back to Shogun 2, that was good too!
I do like the idea of having 5 units to play with. Gives you something to work with. Still it was inspiring to watch you make this brutal challenge work. Way to go buddy! Can’t wait to see another.
I've been noticing that the gate bug and wall pathfinding have been particularly atrocious lately. I generally enjoy siege battles, but it's really frustrating when half a unit gets stuck on the other side of a gate and the fact that using ladders just ruins pathfinding is really annoying. Battles that should have been an easy W ended up losing me half my army because of bugs.
for the next challenge you should also make the rule that one of the 5 rnd units must be a tier 1 unit, otherwise you might get stuck with your starting units only for like 20+ turns if you roll really badly.and one lost fight might loose you the challenge.
Scenario idea: Start a game where each individual race has a military alliance with itself and at the same time a war with every other race which also have alliances with each other. I recommend it, it's very funny -AI bigger empires are created faster. So it's like Total war from the first turn, but you still have allies.
I swear kislev's auto resolve is so fcking busted. Armored Kossars in particular punch so far above their weight class both in battles and autoresolve. Also I do agree with the AI leadership cheats being the most annoying stat modifier. Like bro why are these marauders fighting to the death while my guys route at 80% hp. PS: Blizzard is so fcking strong and I love it.
Too bad you can’t make recruitments in general completely random. Both a faction specific random recruitment challenge could be fun. Then find a way for complete random recruitment across all factions. Grimgor leadinging Empire knights, Chaos Dwarfs, Norscan Wyverns, and Elves would be hilarious
A faction I’d like to see you do is the nagash mod would be a nice break for your sanity after this chaos unless you feel like making it impossible as well but yeah
I would love to see you do a Chaos Dwarf run. Their firepower never stops being absolutely beautiful, and your humor would make it even better 😁
angry short alcoholics blow up people: spicy edition
+1
Also would love to see you run normal dwarves too some time.
Then his only 3 units is slaves
@@manboy4720 refined alcoholics, cause they don't brew beer, they distil wine
Lmao he takes the worst unit and wins in like 50 turns give him chaos dwarfs the episode will be 5 minutes long haha
12:47 WDYM, how can you not love the PAAAAAAATRIARCH...of Kislef?
I much prefer Zhiao Ming... the ion? dragon!
Kislev.
Charlie Day sounding mf

The randomized lord and location is pretty fun to see how you try to work around it though (also just seeing you learn/relearn a lord).
I completely agree. I might even split the wheel into challenges. "Archer only" "cavalry only" "magic only" with whatever I think it's possible to do with the faction while keeping things as interesting as possible.
@@BrilliantStupidity I am really sad we could not see skaven machines in action, my rat brain is in a depression.
I think just going from 3 units to 5 or 6 would be enough@@BrilliantStupidity
@@derekwarren5679 that would let you specialize armies more effectively, too
19:24 You caught them in the middle of their "Lord Only" challenge run lmao
Malakai Makaison is one of Gotreks friends and is in a few of the books. Mans a beast
that aged like fine milk
(cause he is in the game now but playing against his grapeshot cannons makes me mald)
I have my Call of Cthulhu random mental derangements table here with me. According to my dice, after this challenge you now suffer from ecdemomania, doramania, emetophobia, taphophobia and pogonophobia.
Kislev: if it’s not a hybrid unit, it’s questionable cavalry
Or it's the Tzar guard.
23:14 We now know what this man sounds like when he cooms
Love the concept. Unusual matchups, unforseen situations... suits your nervous energy perfectly.
Uploaded 8 seconds ago? sick! Don't ask why im up at 5 am, tyvm
Eh it’s 9:31 for me

"I dont need the growth." yes. yes you do need the growth
I've seen Warriors of Chaos factions do that with the randomiser mod - I think they need their dark fortresses to let them do their warband recruitment, so when they get put out will-nilly into the world they struggle to raise anything more than a bunch of lords without armies.
Kind of like wood elves, having random start locations hits them particularly hard, as they don't do settlements well outside of their pre-scripted economy zones!

13:07 poor Luther man, gets stranded in a desert and gets a endgame crisis that surrounds him.
The chaos gods smile upon this chaos
On this episode of tzeech nuts on reality itself completely fucking everything up
I had a feeling today was gonna be a good day

WE NEED KHORN CAMPAIN
He did one in the last random campaign.
i feel like we need to get this man a drink for all the pain he suffers for us.
The one time I used the random start location mod, I was playing Grom and they put me in Tor Yvresse and the game glitched and wouldn't let me build it up. It was an active nightmare too, since they put Eltharion in the mountains near where Greasus starts and he was doing well the entire game. I hated it.

Definitely! With a few buffs, they can beat most tier 3 infantry in the game, even if they don't get the chance to shoot them first.
I hope you'll do more of these, this was hilarious!
I am really liking these campaigns of yours! Do another one with five units and pls keep the mods. The variety makes these videos awesome!
As someone who plays Dwarfs a lot, I feel that hatred of Warp lightning. Single-handedly wrecks my beautiful tight knight dwarf formations
I love being up at 12:00 and watching my favorite youtuber because I have no life or sleep schedule.
Oh hey, me too lol
It'd 10:04 rn.. same
Fun vid really enjoyed randomized campaigns and your editing is enjoyable to watch. Also didnt expect the Unicorn Overlord sponsor lol been really looking foward to that game
I remember commenting on your last "Random everything" asking for more, and you kept it up!
Thanks mate, a treat as always!
seeing Malakai Makaison had me go double check when this video was released lol
The rats... the rats make me crazy...
Love how you started in a position to where you are fighting in the direction to return to the motherland
Malakai Makaisson was in a mod before he was in the actual game
7:26 LMAO
23:55 Modded Makaisson before thrones of decay lol.
17:20 "Very cool looking unit, i'm sure it's gonna be great" 💀
Little did he know, it's not great.
I love these videos because it shows off your skills with other lords
Really happy I stumbled across your channel, your videos are ALWAYS so well put together and entertaining, keep up the good work you deserve the blow up you’re having!
This is one of the (if not the best) warhammer ideas ngl
Warhammer starting with all positive traits or all negative traits.
Yay! The suffering! 4:56
0:30 Did not read that as Skaven Esoterica at first glance.
Well this dude just saved me from refunding this game… wanted to know how to play the world map type campaign and couldn’t figure it out till I saw what he had selected
I mentally wanted to watch you post a randomized bideo and it got manifested when i click youtube. thank you, keep exisiting
Comedy is like a mix of grim kleeper and martincitopants
That facecam jump scared me. I thought you were an older version of Colonel Damneders at first. Lol.

I need this but with a mod that lets you use any unit with any Lord so it's truly random
In their defense, it was a really nice field...
That Ice Dragon is just the Grunbeld the apostle from Berserk.
You guys remember in like the mid-noughties when everyone was convinced random = funny?
I love that I keep hearing 3 houses music while playing it
Fun drinking game. Take a shot every time he says 'fuck'.
I do like the idea of having 5 units to play with. Gives you something to work with. Still it was inspiring to watch you make this brutal challenge work. Way to go buddy! Can’t wait to see another.
I would love to watch a run with Slaanesh Daemonettes only. The Hornytide
A Tomb Kings Construct only run would be awesome! I tried it, it is super duper freaking difficult but technically doable😅
A Brilliant Stupidity upload at 12am takes priority over sleep 🗿
I’d love more of the randomized gameplay :)

Kislev and Katarin my beloved. Fun chaotic video, but it's a shame you didn't get any unit that she buffs, that's the most fun.
@4:00 Oh neat, an ad for a game that I'd actually enjoy! ...And it won't be available to PC users. :(
Great video, i agree 3 units doesnt really feel like enough on the long run, more units and maybe allow all regiment of renown would be cool
That crisis he had at about 8 minutes made me laugh so darn hard
for the next challenge you should also make the rule that one of the 5 rnd units must be a tier 1 unit, otherwise you might get stuck with your starting units only for like 20+ turns if you roll really badly.and one lost fight might loose you the challenge.
15:10 flashbacks from dos2 intensify
I was waiting for when this would come back!

I recommend it, it's very funny -AI bigger empires are created faster. So it's like Total war from the first turn, but you still have allies.
The 3 random units should have been among the starting army units, not the whole roster.
Pretty nice video as always, mate.
I really like your TW3 vids. They're very fun to watch!
I would love to see more of these!
Submissive and murdurable is a shirt I need
New BrilliantStupidity video, I had too buy another pair of pants.
This is great, would love to see more!
I would love to see more of these
Would like a Taurox minotaurs only campaign. Think would be fun, about to go try for myself
Oh yes I've been waiting for this, can't wait to watch
I swear kislev's auto resolve is so fcking busted. Armored Kossars in particular punch so far above their weight class both in battles and autoresolve.
Also I do agree with the AI leadership cheats being the most annoying stat modifier. Like bro why are these marauders fighting to the death while my guys route at 80% hp.
PS: Blizzard is so fcking strong and I love it.
Give me more Random playthroughs!! I do want to see one with a small faction!!
yeah 5 seems like a better number for random units. Fun challenge, very hard and frustrating at times, but it looks fun!
"Who is that? He has an airship???"
2 months later he becomes becomes a leader
Too bad you can’t make recruitments in general completely random. Both a faction specific random recruitment challenge could be fun. Then find a way for complete random recruitment across all factions. Grimgor leadinging Empire knights, Chaos Dwarfs, Norscan Wyverns, and Elves would be hilarious
Perfect for the Airport wait time
My dude loves to make his life like a gambling simulator, constantly at a low and high in the exact same time. 😅
A faction I’d like to see you do is the nagash mod would be a nice break for your sanity after this chaos unless you feel like making it impossible as well but yeah
Can’t believe you’re only 111k subs. Your shit is platinum every upload.
You gotta start making longer videos my guy. Twenty five minutes of bliss followed by an eternity of pain... until you post again that is.
Loved this! I'm looking forward to the 5 random unit challenge!
I'd love to see a 5 random units campaign, and maybe this time actually see the crazy weird modded units?
I love this idea I need more!!!!
Finally a good fucking ad.
17:21 very cool unit and also the worst unit in this update
The one time an ad interests me it's not on PC, aaaaaaa!
Just about to go asleep but saw this
Sleep is for the weak
So an idea for the random units, do either 1 of each rank, or one of each type or role in combat
Perfect timing for whatever you call th spooky point of my life
