I've grown up on total war games, and I used to be curious how campaigns could end up like this. I found out why a few years ago. I introduced a Shogun 2 after he saw me playing, and helped him get his feet under him over skype. We picked the same factions and I guided him though what I was doing so he could easily replicate, only difference was I was on a harder difficulty. After a few hours I left him to it and over the coming weeks watched his hours tick up and answered his questions. Going forward he came round so we could play Warhammer total war together, it was time for use to match skill. His 2 years of consistent play vs my early life learning and sporadic play since(maybe one campaign a year). We did the same thing, but this time on an equal footing in difficulty. His first time on Legendary was.... A Shameful Display.... (Ahh shogun joke). He was completely military focused, and relied on full stacks to win fights, very little battle micro and battle field control other than spells. After the day he was getting pushed back and was out of money. I learned that some people aren't as suited to command and city management as others.... And that I'm probably not good at teaching. Still we had a fun time playing and he's gotten a lot better now since we ended up starting again and playing together.
@@LegendofTotalWar As long as you're enjoying them, then keep doing them, I also have a feeling that they increased your channel's growth by quite a lot
They kind of blend together already though. I still very much enjoy this series but it can’t last without some variation. Most are cycle charge with cav while exploiting the bad AI rinse and repeat lol.
why not defend at the bridge choke ? should have made a few of the fights easier yari wall + your shitton of bows. pretty sure twice you could have gained a recruitment turn by holding outside at the bridge
Lol 31:34 *snowflakes start falling. There are cherry blossoms in the air* "Oda-san!" ... "You must remember this strike. Sacred strike! If do right, no can defend!" ....! "Hi-YAAAAAAAAH!!!!" *shing!* Complete slaughter of the Takeda forces lol
@@napowolf Empire added the tech tree mechanic and moved some buildings out of the main cities into the province to allow raiding as a potential tactic. It was just VERY unpolished and there were other mechanics that just didn't work (ie. agent spawn).
Hey legend I have started playing M2TW again and am having a horrendous time with one of the inquisitors. He is fully ranked and I cannot assassinate him. Any advice on how to have him stop adding anymore dead family members to the list by papal decree?
If you want to go the exploit rout then just agent squash him by putting a military unit on each of the tiles around him then send a unit on his tile which will instant kill him. If you dont want to do that you either need to assassinate them or make sure your family members are pious. Or you could just avoid them. Inquisitors tend not to show up in the middle east or russia.
Guy who sent this in must have tried to play a Total War game/rule set right? No way this could happen without him automatically declaring war on everyone he met.
AI hates oda, they start with -20 relations on diamyo. So add that to AI going after easy targets. Id wager he killed diamyo early to clear that and didn't recruit enough since oda has super cheap units. 88 koku for yari on legendary iirc
Lol, you do not know the horrors of Shogun 2: Total War Legendary diplomacy... Most factions want to declare war on you sooner or later anyway. If they sense any kind of weakness, they will declare war. This includes the weakness of already being involved in wars. So the more wars you are involved in the higher probability that some other faction will declare war on you. Since trustworthiness (complete illogically) works both ways in Shogun 2, everyone might hate you if you had some kind of treaty with the ones that declared war. On top of that the Oda often have rude Daimyos that cause a fairly hefty diplomatic penalty.
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between normal difficulty and hard or legendary difficulty? And when the difference starts between your units and EA units? will your unit be stronger at normal ? which is a difficulty that equates you with EA?
Rather than your units being stronger on normal it is the AI who gets Cheats the harder the difficulty level, they also become dickheads on harder difficulties.
They get moral and koku bonuses and you get moral penalties and units cost more to upkeep. There are no attack/defence differences on the difficulties I think "hard" is no bonuses for either side
when legend doesnt get 3 or more cav units: "we need a plan for this battle you dont just win this"

GLORIOUS 1080p
I really like these vids they're great night binge material especially the shogun 2 ones
Its not even realm divide. How on earth is he at war with almost the whole of Japan
pretty much a historical situation for the oda
I wonder how long will Legend keep doing these challenge videos
I also wonder how long people will keep enjoying them. I think the two questions are tied together.
I don't think people will ever stop liking them. The TW games are so varied that there is always something for everybody to enjoy.
@@LegendofTotalWar As long as you're enjoying them, then keep doing them, I also have a feeling that they increased your channel's growth by quite a lot
I'm pretty sure it'll last for a while, who knows? But what I do know is that it will laster longer than Alexander's empire.
They kind of blend together already though. I still very much enjoy this series but it can’t last without some variation. Most are cycle charge with cav while exploiting the bad AI rinse and repeat lol.
Nobunaga would be proud of you legend.
Nobunaga would question why there are no matchlocks.
omg I'm playing as oda and takeda, my game long ally just backstabbed me, this fits perfectly. How could they?? We were conquering the world together!
finally the Oda campaign, nice work
can't stop enjoying watching you unfuck these situations.
Nobunaga in not in the campaign because he is the player ;)
darkplaceguy wut? I'm pretty sure nobunaga is a recruitable general... he even has a special trait called Ambitious...
why not defend at the bridge choke ? should have made a few of the fights easier yari wall + your shitton of bows. pretty sure twice you could have gained a recruitment turn by holding outside at the bridge
How to play oda- yari ashigaru or long ashigaru, hit shift + 3 and win... :D
great! thought something must went wrong last day
Lol 31:34
*snowflakes start falling. There are cherry blossoms in the air*
"Oda-san!"
...
"You must remember this strike. Sacred strike! If do right, no can defend!"
....!
"Hi-YAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
*shing!*
Complete slaughter of the Takeda forces lol
ayy legend, you said before shogun2 isnt your favourite, why is this?
He loves Medieval II and Rome I, that's pretty much why. This game was one of the first significant departures from those two in the series.
@@mackmasters325 departure in what way?
Wasn't Empire the first significant departures?
Limited amount of buildings and amount you can have, a move toward autoresolving more rather than playing the battle yourself etc.
@@napowolf Empire added the tech tree mechanic and moved some buildings out of the main cities into the province to allow raiding as a potential tactic. It was just VERY unpolished and there were other mechanics that just didn't work (ie. agent spawn).
Woo legend!
Hey legend, would you consider playing sid meier's civilization on the channel?
He is a total war channel my friend,your better off asking OfficallyDelvin
@@JohnSmith-kn5xxhe also plays europa unervasalis.
why not tell the unit, that's about to get wiped out, to rout, that way if you win the battle you just get it back ... just sayin'

@@LegendofTotalWar Thank you will do.
This is Shogun2 right?
yes
Dad?
I didn't watch the video yet, but I have won battles at worse odds, this battle is easy
So yari wall is broken then?
They don't call themselves "yari meijin" for fun, sir.

Kiel Weiss from memory in shogun 2 as soon as the ai senses you’re weak and isolated they come after you hard
Nah man the AI in shogun even on hard is fucking brutal, you lose one battle and all your neighbors will attack you.
@@loki_808 I always play on VH and I've been in bad straits and still haven't had that many clans dec me. Maybe I've been lucky.

Please do a Total War Napoleon Campaign (Its my favorite)
Badman He did one a while back. Just watch that one.
