Hi legend, thanks for helping me out with my battle. The army comp was just kind of a leftover army from when i confederated elspeth that i never really cared to change since it was doing well enough up until this fight. When i fought this battle, the enemy ran directly for my units as soon as their reinforcements arrived, and i didn't get a chance to fire as freely as in the video. AI was a downright mess here though. 😅
It's like that at a strategic level too. If you go long and start being in places it doesn't expect you to be, it becomes completely aimless and defaults to camping all its armies around one settlement. It's so frustrating.
@@nonesuch6833 on my wood elf campaign it happened to me. South realms mod faction got stuck on deference, since they amass big upkeep redaction in one province, they had 14 stacks but once moved lost half of each to attrition because they had no gold.
@@nonesuch6833 tbf about the camping thing. If you wherent able to catch an enemy army, you either try to ambush them or camp somewhere you know you have the advantage, not sure what the AI is supposed to do in those situations, if it just went for a worthless capture anyway you would complain how it runs away/ ignores your armies.
@@George_Rakkas "not sure what the AI is supposed to do in those situations" Go after one of your exposed settlements / armies, or start pursuing its other enemies.
Splendid, simply splendid! Such a supreme spectacle, a sensational save of a shattering skirmish! Sigvald salutes your skill, for surely no soldier stands so sovereign in strategy. The sublime spectacle of this battle, securing success amidst such staggering odds, was nothing short of stupendous! Sigvald bows before your supreme strategy, sculpting victory with such style, so seemless . Sigvald, appreciates such skill, for only the magnificent can truly recognize the spectacular when they see it. Simply stupendous, Legend!
Some attacks, like cannons and other big weapons, can bypass the "no unit death" effects. Its easy to test with grimgore's da immortulz and very high moral boosts. Not many will die maybe 1 or 2, falling off a wall will do the same thing
i bet you the reason the ai derps out when you swap sides is because there's still an invisible capture point on each battle map from when they thought that was a good idea in Rome 2, and they try to not get too far from it
The ai is like, "THe eNEMeY HaS tO BE ovEr herE SoMEWHerE. WE mUsT IGNorE thOSe ThinGs sHOotINg aT uS aNd GROuP Up HErE BeFoRE WE FiND TheM WhErE thEY MuST bE!". XD
The thing is, you always manage to have them chase your hero's. For me they just ignore my hero's and just run straight for my hidden units.. No matter how I play it
I presume you're not playing on VH, because they do this all the time on the hardest difficulty. As Legend has said before, some battles that can be cheesed are unwinnable on Normal or Hard.
Legend explained it. Sometimes the higher difficulties make AI more stupid. An example was with how AI targets your heroes with artillary and archery on the various difficulty levels.
The thing I hate in warhammer 3 is when legendary lords are unkillable. Yes it's warhammer, there are overpowered people but it's just not fun when you need to auto resolve certain fights because you can't kill Grombrindal and he's gonna solo your all army
Valkia, Ungrim, Malus, Archaon, Tamurkhan: lords I will always try and auto resolve even if it means losing units, because I know trying to get rid of them in a fair fight is going to be absolutely miserable.
@@nonesuch6833 Tamurkhan is a massive target, though. The others, well... focused ap missile barrages while kiting them around. It's frustrating, it's not fun, it's boring.

The "unit won't take casualties until they get below [x]%" ability has been bugged for a number of patches. It's something to do with the models getting bugged out counted as killed. When the battle ends though the units that died don't count as casualties.
Haven’t seen a crap stack or one man doomstack in a while :/ I’d love a tier list comparing the best WH2 doomstacks to this game and see if they’re still great or been overshadowed now
In a dwarves campaign battle with sig i noticed he blitz an used a powerful cast that breaks the lines . I never had success unless it was auto resolve with this character army
30:09 Yeah it lost a Unit (startet witch 50). i notices this in my campaign when they dont start a battle with full HP they die now and then. Seems like a bug or the "Buff" fades when a unit is under 50%.
Do you play this over and over again? I am dumbstruck to see how you can just look at it and go "well okay here is what to do/how to do it" with such ease.
I have a theory i have never seen a tomb kings disaster battle from you because there are not many people playing them because ca ignores them so the ones who play them either know how or give up before they get there in the campaign
30:11 These guys seem to taake odd casualties. Used them and had casualtties during the battle but not in the end screen. Next time I saw one loss but the guy glitched over the ground riding an invisible horse 😅
I swear i watch him play this game and do everything he does and the AI never durps out like they do with him. Im not trying to say hes cheating cause i love this guy and his work but something has to be off. Not saying im unsubscribing but boy the AI always acts up when he plays and the blines for my army no matter no matter how much i try to cheese. The AI never behaves this way no matter how i approach the battle.
Why do people keep putting 2 engineers in Empire armies, really not required. Even when fighting 4 stacks, the 4th one usually just gets army lossed and you have ammo left to spare, especially when you have a LL spell caster in your army, 1 engineer is fine. Landships and Steam Tanks, where is the life wizard?
They do an obscene amount of damage with their rifles (Especially if you trick one out with Elspeth's laboratory items) and they're relatively fast. I prefer to have just one but dont mind a couple for deleting important targets.

imaging sending a disaster batle to Legend and his next video's title is Skill Issue with you're batle on it
Alright thats it! Im sending you a disaster battle of one nasty skulker unit vs 40 archaons and seeing if you can cheese it!
something something ambush cheese wipe
He'll find a way to inflict Army Losses on that somehow.
Elsbeth actually has an aura that negates magic attacks iirc, so the physical resist ability is pretty much always useful in melee
the Ai feels like it never got finished, CA be like: " A job well done"

@@nonesuch6833 ranged units with high AP are generally the solution
You can avoid most “unkillable” lords cause they’re usually on foot. And they’re very much killable, actually.

Hi everyone
Hello 🤪
hi
Good morning!
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️
Great job! I bet you're living your best life right now.

completely cackled at that Flybuys jab
I REALLY hope CA watches this and finally fixes the ai. This is beyond unacceptable
But legend, winning the game is cheese.

They utilized human wave tactics in WWII.
Good to see bridge crossing in total war is still making the AI brain-dead (shoutout to rome 1)
Best breath attack as far as cool looking 😊
30.08 its still has all the models, the unit counter display for "unkillable until X" units, same with slayers and a slayerlord.
Unlimited winds of magic? But Legend! That's cheeeeeeeeese
Haven’t seen a crap stack or one man doomstack in a while :/
I’d love a tier list comparing the best WH2 doomstacks to this game and see if they’re still great or been overshadowed now
When 'AI' broke, it stopped being disaster.
In a dwarves campaign battle with sig i noticed he blitz an used a powerful cast that breaks the lines . I never had success unless it was auto resolve with this character army
Wonder if the new dad bought a Baby Bee-zhorn
30:09 Yeah it lost a Unit (startet witch 50). i notices this in my campaign when they dont start a battle with full HP they die now and then. Seems like a bug or the "Buff" fades when a unit is under 50%.
nice map..some good units.. the land ships are a thing but not the dawi airship slower reactions or block lines of sight.
Let's go
Piss me off how easy you make it look every time. :)
How broken do you want the AI to be?
Yes.
is the perfect vigour on the mechanical steeds not worth it? Exhaustion causes a -15% speed and -35% reload penalty
AI in this game is separate disaster.
Landships? lol, maybe this was a setup
Do you play this over and over again? I am dumbstruck to see how you can just look at it and go "well okay here is what to do/how to do it" with such ease.
either that or its just his tens of thousands of hours of playtime
I've always assumed it's a bit of both.
Tzeentch and slaanesh bots, whats next army recruiters?
I have a theory i have never seen a tomb kings disaster battle from you because there are not many people playing them because ca ignores them so the ones who play them either know how or give up before they get there in the campaign
can you have more than one death wizard cast life leach and stacking the power reserve regeneration? or just one can get active at a time?
Enemy AI is a paid actor
This army comp looks... peculiar.
How do the hero’s in these Legend battles always continually regenerate?
30:11 These guys seem to taake odd casualties. Used them and had casualtties during the battle but not in the end screen. Next time I saw one loss but the guy glitched over the ground riding an invisible horse 😅
Lol what are they doing!? No idea Legend...as the AI turns its troops back and runs down a hill for no reason.
Why the f does Sigvald bring along Tzeentch units???
The AI seems to be much better at normal difficulty than on very hard.

I confederated Elspeth Von Draken as Karl Franz without having the Thrones of Decay DLC
That's against the law.
@@Florp777 I used ingame mechanics to do it. I used the prestige unity when she had 10 fealty and she got confederated
Why is it that when I have a good army vs 3 stacks they all charge right to me and don't twerp for the whole battle ?? CHEEEEEESE !
How is that Helstorm a Tier 4 unit?

Op said it was a confederation army, probably didn't have capacity or something
IMO, war machines shouldn't be effected by life magic.
@@BloodwyrmWildheart yeah it would make more sense if the engineers had a bound healing ability for them, like Emergency Repairs or Field Maintenance

They are called disaster battles, because AI is disaster.
before the bots!
Who else hasn't played this game in over a year but watches every Legend Video regardless?
God the AI is so garbage in battle
This is the worst VH AI I've ever seen 😂😂
I remember when missile units were good and didn't need multiple engineers. Curse you CA
