For everyone wondering, this is my campaign, and yes, my head contains only 2 braincells (both of which are currently fighting for 3rd place), as oppose to a full size brain. For a bit more context regarding this... shitutation, i had tested positive for covid and had naff all else to do, so i decide to play WH3 (which I hadn't played for a few months at this point), and decided to play chaos dwarfs. I usually play Astrogoth and wanted to change things up a bit by playing as Zhatan the black, seeing as I haven't played Zhatan before. I also haven't played much in the Cathay region (or much of the WH3 content in general), I made a big mistake in vastly underestimating the Cathay factions and was most shocked when I had Miao Ying and her entourage come to kick my head in. From watching the video I have now realised a number of mistakes I made, both in the battle itself as well as the on campaign map, and by playing more of this campaign in general I have learnt a lot of things to prevent my self creating such stupidity in the future, (for example, I never even tried to drain the enemy's ammo using my wizard or lord, which is something I used to do ALOT in Warhammer 2, so not sure where my 2 braincells went when I was playing this battle), and for those wondering, yes, I was playing super passively and sort of turtling my way through the campaign, which I have now realised is -10 IQ play. I have since started a multiplayer campaign with a buddy playing as the same faction, and using the lessons I've learnt in this campaign I have avoided putting myself into stupid situations as seen in this video, the multiplayer campaign is going much better than the beginning of this campaign. :D Massive thank you to Legend for winning this battle for me, i was smiling and laughing my way through the whole video, and this has really made day! (PS, Legend, I hope I didn't turn too many of your hairs gray!) Thanks again Legend and thank you to everyone in the comments making Jokes, giving advice, etc. The community we have here is truly one of the greatest!
Thanks to you we have some excellent content. I'm not even brave enough to turn up battle difficulty above normal (I don't like the idea of AI cheats, and I'm not aware enough to dodge spell effects so I don't like when the AI does it), and I'm trying very hard campaign difficulty for the first time. Videos like these make me want to try harder.
bro don't feel bad about this, Legend does not mean it in a malicious way but I'm sure you already know that, and if people send hate, every single total war player has been there at some point
My Last campaign playing Gelt WH2 I was aggressive took out the vamps very early and hitting who I could when I could .... But even so, Grimgor wiped out all of the dwarfs, I ended up in a war with Karl Franz because of an alliance....skaven was running amok. So I kept the empire intact but all Autonomous. Basically I had to go east and south smacking down all of the green skins, the skaven and Hag greef then had to rush back to wipe out Archaon. So even being ultra active etc the game can throw curve balls at you even if you do everything right so dont knock yourself too much took me till turn 200 to get the whole east west south and north under 100% control whilst fending of Malakieth and Morathi. It was a fun Mega challange though.
Just commenting on the waste ammo part - you are not dumb for not doing that, its more like a leftover habit because on earlier versions AI tends to not shoot at any single entities at all. I think the current AI logic for shooting is that they will only shoot at very large targets (dragons, flying cows etc). You can waste their ammo and save your disaster in some cases, but its not like you can do it in every battle for every factions (which I think is also the reason why Legend stops doing that in his more recent videos, sometimes it just doesn't work).
haha, Everything about this was pure gold entertainment, the second fight *chefs kiss* I suspect he was pushing end turn to get caravan travel because that caravan has been to 4 different places and some take several turns to travel
Funny enough, I just saved my own Settra Campaign by taking a small break from fighting anything, I had to reorganize my provinces as I'd done a really bad job when I started that campaign back before I knew how to play Tomb Kings at all. Just thought it was interesting because you always say to not be passive (which I agree with) but on occasion productive passiveness can be helpful! At least it was in my case. :)
"Not expanding" and "being passive" aren't the same thing, though. Even if you want to slow down expansion for a bit, it's still better to keep fighting. Just run around, sacking enemy settlements and beating their armies. If you don't, you waste money on upkeep, and lose EXP and items.
Gringor is a doomsday clock for Chaos Dwarfs, you have to be able to defend against 6 armys by turn 20, last time i played Zatan gringor waag army had 9 black orcs on them ...
@@MalacayHooves well, you’re not wasting money on upkeep with the TK, so it’s not as bad, but it’s still bad. Like you said, missing out on XP and items. Also missing out on the plunder gold and giving your nearby enemies a chance to build up and invade.
Legend has enough experience with trash units that something like this is still winnable for him. Though more Hobgoblins and less Orc Laborers would have helped make the battle a little less like a disaster battle, along with buffing Zhatan and his army rather than going for Lightning Strike.
1st time seeing any of these non-Chorfs as part of a Convoy, thx! Also, seeing those Organ Guns get shut down that rapidly was sick-good to see Fireborn maintaining their utility. Surprised to see the Chosen and Maneaters pulling that much weight despite being kept out of combat through most of the…combat
God that was stressful to watch lol. That firestorm rng was beutiful as was that closing shotty volly into the demon slayer. Think that second battle especially is a pretty good learning oppertunity for some of my friends, just got 3 of em into tww3
Starting to wonder about some of these disasters. Like wtf was this guy doing for 40 turns, did he just hit end turn like 30 turns in a row to artificially create a disaster?
Hey Legend! Love the vids and the livestreams, will you do an IE of Grombrindal with the update of the dwarves? Would love to see that. Greetings from the Netherlands
Hi, Legend Cool video as always) Could you please advise me which should I choose to play: vanilla, SFO or Radious? I am new to the game, but not to Total War, I like a more challenging gameplay, also I particurarly like to play long campaigns and not getting bored in the endgame. Please, help))
Wild. Just had a skaven campaign, tretch, where one of the dark dawi was lvl 13 by like turn 7. He was a massive pain in the ass to kill but his magic nearly made me lose the battle, sheeesh 13 at turn 40 is wild
Sometimes I think the disaster battles aren't awful and could be won easily with good positioning. This one was so rough there's no way I could have won this one.
As much as you can play the way you want, passive is just not an option for chaos dwarves… their whole theme is constant war for the the influx of slav-- I mean interns. If you’ve just been afk on zhatan, you are legit doing a challenge run.
i think i know the game plan this guy was going for... just hear me out! i think he was planning and going for the finishing strike on Legend's last strands of hair on his head! i mean seriously i think i lost some hair from just watching this! The sheer volume of stress seeing legend working so hard to win this battle XD
My guess is this guy was shortstacking on raw materials /labor and just decided to wait until he could recruit artillery before setting out. Haven't the foggiest idea why he'd have so many greenskin units if that's the case though since he had more than enough armaments to have included more chorfs.
@@Snowstrider0001 Hi mate, im actually the guy who sent this campaign in, and that was exactly my idea, i was gettong ready to disband Zhatans whole army and just recruit chorfs only, but Cathay caught me with my pants down lmao. Lesson learnt in this one!
Man I’m playin on normal/normal and I swear the AI plays a lot smarter than on your videos. Nurgle is clownin me as Cathay. Whenever I cast a spell like you did in the beginning with fire tornado, they move out of it instantly
@@pascaldifolco4611 thats exactly what ive done, ive now learnt this was a bad idea and i shouldve spent the points elsewhere, bad habits from warhammer 2 i guess
Turn 49 and only level 13 play an other game i would say too the person how have send that in because if someone do not know how the infos are out their. Around Turn 49 you should be level 30 too 50 and that is easy. I do not get it why people play so bad?
Dude... they could have at least hired the greenskin units he's good with... hobgoblins wouldn't have done too much better, but a lot better than orc laborers 😂 I never get any laborers except for at the first turn to assist the first province being taken... I hope they learn from this experience!
I cannot understand those people how have nothing on turn 50 or so it is so sad why people play so bad? I could understand if it is a good player how wants a challenged but that is not the fact here.
This persons army is just offensive to me. It’s turn 49. They should have their army completely made up of chaos dwarf warriors, blunderbusses and maybe bull centaur renders and a few bits of artillery. Not this trash.

That first flamestorm functioned like a wind spell. Ooooof
The swearing at the units and enemies was great. Thanks for the quality entertainment.
As someone new to WH3, this was seriously impressive to watch. I learnt a lot about unit control and how to use hero's effectively.
that first vortex was PERFECT
Havent heard this much swearing from Legend in a long time! Finnaly channeling more of his Aussie spirit
Incredible job!!! This is definitely one of those videos I wasn’t sure could be won. I laughed my ass off at all the swearing at the troops.

You know it's actually difficult if legend starts cursing more haha. What a wild battle

stress 100
then I saw the convoy battle too and I was like:
strees 200
2 battles for the price of one. I thought you were going to respec those lords. You did tell him what to do, so there is that.
You know a disaster battle is going to be hard when Legend feels like it's necessary to waste the enemy ammo at the start, haha
Tip : Zhatan on his foot is as tanky as Belegar players usually put him on his mount to make use of sadistic snare ability
Chorf lords are best on foot, the lamasu mounts (and units) are kind of crap.
