  • Transmuting dull spells into comedy gold.
    If you're having difficulty making out the words in the final speech, here's a transcript: [directed at the Chaos armies] "Welcome to the Empire, gentlemen. I will not lie, the chances of your survival are small. Some may even have their skulls turned to gold. But you have my word, that I will use my arcane gifts to ensure you truly know SEARING DOOM!"
    Gelt meme face made by my wonderful girlfriend: i.imgur.com/dX...
    Full album of all the drawings she's done for me here: imgur.com/a/Sw...
    Music is “El Tambor De Granaderos” by Ruperto Chapí, performed by Human Symphony Orchestra and very lightly edited by me (licence purchased from premiumbeat.com)

    The font at the start is called "Balthazar Regular". Was it the best choice? Probably not, but I couldn't resist.
    Also I better add some keywords so it's easier to search for this video: How to Play the Empire, How to Play Balthasar Gelt, How to Play Balthazar Gelt, How to Play Gelt.

    The original plan was to make "How to Play The Empire", but after two full campaigns as Franz I didn't have a story that was interesting enough for a video (not because the campaign is bad, my playthroughs were just lacking in good storytelling drama). Decided instead to go with Gelt and his magic, since that was one of the most interesting experiences I had while playing, but I've deliberately called it "The Golden Order" so there's still room for more general empire goodness in the future.

      Well I mean, mortars are S3 AP1 in the boardgame, because their old S4 was evidently too broken or something, so they wouldn't be too useful vs the tincan bois anyway.

    Yrridian my dude the move is staunch lines of handgunners, a couple heroes and a steam tank to, well, tank damage, and 3-4 rocket batteries. Split the handgunners in 2 lines, one behind the other, and use Gelt to funnel them into your firing range of death. Meet Chaos in the right spot near Praag and every battle is a choke point. You can destroy as many consecutive stacks as the AI can muster and take few if any casualties.

    Man, let me just say I love your videos. I know it's cliche, but I found this game on accident, and I was looking for videos to help me find out what the game was. These videos were such an inspiration to me, and I legitimately loved the music and theming that you put into them. I am ecstatic to see if you make more for Warhammer 3, as these are some of my most watched videos on RUclips, and I can't wait to see where you go! Good luck Yrridian. You're incredible. Thank you.
