As a Scandinavian I can confirm this is how we all live our daily lives. I'm watching this video from a phone I looted from the cold dead hands of an Elven spearman.
02:08 imagine you getting conquered and your whole city burns and the foe's leader just yells "I RAZE THIS PLACE IN THE NAME OF.... one of our gods or whatever".
That was my goal in my first ever WH2 campaign. Well, I almost did it, half of the Ulthuan was under Malekith and I really didn’t want to fight him with my gun zombies.
Kataph’s Kraka Drak Dwarfs mod is kinda one to follow this. Although its a dwarf faction, your goal is to conquer nórsca and while doing so you have the opportunity to construct buildings that allow you to recruit norscans looking for payback against Chaos!
I wish wulfrik had the ship horde mechanic that the vampire coast had. Would allow you to go for a more pillaging and wandering playstyle as opposed to the classic "unite the tribes and then push south into the empire" approach
Sounds more like what Ysgramor did to the Elves than anything Viking, but still very enjoyable. Makes me want to give Norsca a go, haven't in a long time.
Just watched some recent videos of yours, Zerk and I just love you and your reaction about the Elfs. :D That "bleaurgh" always makes me smile in solidarity!
Sword of Khaine is such a cool mechanic. Kinda wish all the legendary weapons had something similar where they could be stolen. Like imagine if it was possible for Grimgor to steal Ghal Maraz?
19:57 as a Geat I'd like to apologize for what my ancestors did to John. He was a pure soul and he did not deserve such brutality. May he come across the rainbow road in search for his heaven.
Great video, Zerk! If you are open for ideas I think it would be super fun to watch a Sartosa run-through of mortals only (except for artillery/vampire units) using allied Empire/cathay gun units and ogre mercenaries. Maybe establishing a pirate coast somewhere like Cathay or Southlands.
This series is great. Its almost a bit like you old campaign lets plays, but in a more condensed way. Highly enjoying it! Also, agreed on old flamestorm. Looked much better then the new version.
Chad Viking Norscans vs Virgin English High Elves. Raid pillage and burn all of Ulthuan! Peak historical accuracy here and top quality content. Especially with moments like 19:50, poor John.
7:58 I just had a campaign, playing as Archaon, Using Kholek to assault the chorfs. Whatever that settlement is that protects the north end of the dark lands. I siege it, the army is too big I break the siege. . . Somehow I am on the other side of the settlement from where I attacked, now inside the dark lands with no way out. . .
The norsca rework needs to include an official reskin for the maurader units. They should be wearing furs, leather and plate considering they live in a land of perpetual snow and ice. They shouldn't be half dressed. It'd go a long way to making them more thematically appropriate and separating them from Warriors of chaos. The reskin and a heavy focus on their unique units like Skin wolves, Frost trolls and Mammoths. These are unique cool units that also help differentiate Norsca from WoC. The rework is desperately needed ASAP.
I think the units are based off of minis from the upcoming tabletop release from Games Workshop. There are great mods that give the Norscans better clothes and armor.
Frost Wyrm was always my favourite Norsca unit, and one of the most coolest dragons. I would like them as mount for Lords instead of just Mammoths and Mammoths.
Yeah, currently they just look like generic evil fantasy barbarians. Actual Norse helmets looked pretty cool, so why not give them Norse-inspired helmets?
I hope that Norsca will finally get their dlc with more human units, more on the Vikings side. Also maybe playable Skeggi as a faction (who were more "civilised" norscans) which tamed and even rided some dinosaurs.
Instead of a close nit wedge I believe the Romans opted for a long straight line that can encircle the flank of the opposing army if your worried about being flanked After a lot of trial and error
I'm trying to think about how I would counter this strategy if I were the elves. My thought would be to drive a large portion of my troops after you, but then set up another army to cut you off on your other side, perhaps via ambush, but mostly to drive you onto the water south and/or west of the donut, then race an army towards Norsca to tear apart your infrastructure
You know Zerk.... Those Brits WERE self-righteous, and live on an island. These High Elves ARE self-righteous and ALSO live on an island! So yes! Thank you for recolonizing that island!
That is actually the parody. Elves are England, and the Dark Elves are America, being the twisted evil colonial offshoot with the heavy use of slavery.
On one hand, as a Dark Elf player I grimace at the filthy short-lifers standing on the grounds that rightfully belong to the Witch King. On the other hand, it's happening to the Asur, my hated enemies so I take the good with the bad.
Last time I played wulfrik (I usually play throg) i made it my mission to wipe out all elves from existence. I'm glad that you too see this as a noblr goal

Is your name ragnar too? Ragnar swordson?
Elven of course being the Norwegian word for weak danish peasant
You mean 'British' spearman?
I challenge you to a duel to the death for that phone!
Poor John, first gets punted and then his phone stolen.
10:46 "Swordsson".
Literally "son of Sword"
...
His poor mother.
02:08
imagine you getting conquered and your whole city burns and the foe's leader just yells "I RAZE THIS PLACE IN THE NAME OF.... one of our gods or whatever".
I had no idea the Vikings "used werewolves as scouts" and "were well-versed in fire magic", thanks for the history lesson Zerkovich! 😂
Of course! How else were they so good at burning and pillaging?
I wonder if the werewolf can use magic too
@@Gorbz 🤣
It is known.
You southlanders sure are illiterate huh.
An elf free Ulthuan... Never has a more nobler goal been concieved.
It was written in the great plan I am sure of it
These norscan boys cleansed England of the english, a great day indeed!
untill the rats arive. hm i would love to try that BUT most of em are kind of far from that mess
That was my goal in my first ever WH2 campaign. Well, I almost did it, half of the Ulthuan was under Malekith and I really didn’t want to fight him with my gun zombies.
@@Pilvenuga And they did it without flooding the country with people from the south. Amazing.
13:34 Historically accurate viking lord riding the mammoth across England
RIP John the Elf. A star has stopped shining today, and legend says it's because it got ran over by a horse.
I hope one day, even if is not loreful, we would see uncorrupted norscans ready to kick out their corrupted neighbours.
I've been hoping for that for a long time
you got dwarves for that
You can do this with the OvN Truthsayers of Albion mod.
Some norscan tribes worship non chaos gods such as ulric or ursun so its loreful
Kataph’s Kraka Drak Dwarfs mod is kinda one to follow this. Although its a dwarf faction, your goal is to conquer nórsca and while doing so you have the opportunity to construct buildings that allow you to recruit norscans looking for payback against Chaos!
I loved the «Å faen» when the elves attacked 😂
3:58
Underrated part
i did not expect that🤔
I wish wulfrik had the ship horde mechanic that the vampire coast had. Would allow you to go for a more pillaging and wandering playstyle as opposed to the classic "unite the tribes and then push south into the empire" approach
same for Lokhir and Alberic.
@@OverlordOfToxicity Lokhir has his black arc already he's doing fine.
@@olafthemoose9413 Lokhir should control black arc, by himself instead mynor general.
@@OverlordOfToxicity I think theres a mod for Alberic to get horde ship. Atleast the previous games had that mod for him.
Sounds more like what Ysgramor did to the Elves than anything Viking, but still very enjoyable. Makes me want to give Norsca a go, haven't in a long time.

The inquisition wants to know your location
@@lordadorable1140 *look down man-things, squeek not a breath*
Yeah, but Ghal Maraz is a quest battle for Karl. The Sword of Khaine I think is better, because elves HAVE to draw it, but then anyone can claim it.
Im so dissapointed that the formation Vikings were so proud of was so bad.
Cant believe they didnt account for dragons.
Loving all the effort you are putting in these videos!
I learned so many new things about the Vikings. Amazing.
Berserkers high on mushrooms dont believe the flaming bird is real and just ignore it... that's premium content right there
John the Elf had so much backspin applied he bounced backwards on the landing.
Absolutely loved the video! I adora thematic campaigns and armies, and Norsca as well. What a jackpot of a vid. Lovely content as usual!
Seeing John scream and FLY was the highlight of this video for me.
19:57 as a Geat I'd like to apologize for what my ancestors did to John. He was a pure soul and he did not deserve such brutality. May he come across the rainbow road in search for his heaven.
the "å faen!" at 3:58 caught me so off-guard i managed to spill my drink
Great video, Zerk!
If you are open for ideas I think it would be super fun to watch a Sartosa run-through of mortals only (except for artillery/vampire units) using allied Empire/cathay gun units and ogre mercenaries.
Maybe establishing a pirate coast somewhere like Cathay or Southlands.
Cool idea Sartosa humans (and now Ogres too) were always the most interesting to me. The real pirates, too bad they didn't expanded on that idea more.
There's a mod for mortal artillery and guns, that way you can be all mortal except vampires
Great video, the thematic self-constrained play throughs are highly entertaining!
3:58 OH FAN!
That was so unexpected.
As a norwegian i can confirme that he said it just right;D
Loving these themed gameplay vids.
6:30 Ah yes, the ol' viking tactic of just yeeting a boat through enemy infantry on the battlefield.
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
"The Norscans do realise that if they kill us all, the island is just going to sink and take them all with it, right?"
Rip to John the elf, he died the way any elf should. Getting run over by a large angry semi Norwegian man on an even bigger horse.
love this video. Definately helped give me ideas for a Norscan campaign!
These vidoes are so good Zerkovich such a tear atm keep up!
Great content! I think this campaign tomfoolery is the second most fun thing after Turin's multiplayer recaps :)
really love these videos any hope for a campaign live stream
100% historically accurate that Vikings would throw longships at the English during battle.
This series is great. Its almost a bit like you old campaign lets plays, but in a more condensed way. Highly enjoying it!
Also, agreed on old flamestorm. Looked much better then the new version.
I love these series !
I just want to say I love your sports commentary style of battle narration.
I love how you do your own rules but also break them a „little bit“ 😂😂😂
Keep going Brother.
Love to watch your videos!!
I fking love ur videos. Entertaining af.
Thanks for all ur humorfull videos ure doing everytime. Hopefully it wont end
the bit about john being punted had me in tears from laughing
Chad Viking Norscans vs Virgin English High Elves. Raid pillage and burn all of Ulthuan!
Peak historical accuracy here and top quality content. Especially with moments like 19:50, poor John.
i dont think high elves represent the english
What about the taking the women ?
As an Englishman, I can confirm we still keep watches on dark winter nights, watching the ocean, waiting for the werewolves and spellcasters.
As a Norwegian the only thing i'd send to your shores is a hug 💪
as a mushroom i can confirm the sightings of big birds.
I'm legal!y feeling good and wanted to say how much I enjoy thischannel. Thank you and cheers mate
This was Awesome....really enjoyed it...thanks pal...
These are really creative and i've loved every one of them
7:58 I just had a campaign, playing as Archaon, Using Kholek to assault the chorfs. Whatever that settlement is that protects the north end of the dark lands. I siege it, the army is too big I break the siege. . . Somehow I am on the other side of the settlement from where I attacked, now inside the dark lands with no way out. . .
Yes, Åfan is my reaction to many things in total war games aswell 3:58
As a Norwegian i can call this an absolute win, because i indeed can fire magic, and i have my lwb werewolf scout.

Norsca are just literally chaos marauders as a separate faction, they don’t need any other flavour
Frost Wyrm was always my favourite Norsca unit, and one of the most coolest dragons. I would like them as mount for Lords instead of just Mammoths and Mammoths.

R.I.P. John

20:16 rip Jhon the elf
Norsca is by far my favourite race! They are so hated in the community so love to see this vid!
Excellent commentary for this video 😂
Could you do a Sartosa game with the overhaul mod they have and you play as a historical pirate/privateer
Zerkovich: "Ulthuan is my England."
Me: "So you're going to lose?"
As an elf main I have only this to say:
John will be back.
Bruh you got me with that "who needs tactics when you're a viking? Just hit things until are dead"
Love these new formats :)
19:49 😂omg that whole part was great and that scream tho!!! lol 😂😂😂
Instead of a close nit wedge I believe the Romans opted for a long straight line that can encircle the flank of the opposing army if your worried about being flanked
After a lot of trial and error
I love educational videos like this.
Great video, thank you!

loving these themed gimicky army videos
17:55 You could have attacked the settlement, and the reinforcing army wouldn't have option to escape. I'm surprised so many people don't know that.
Using Johann Heggs (Amon Amarth singer) "Great Heathen Army" soundbit would've been perfect
Love your creative videos
that end screen where morathi is happy is gold
this your most satisfying video, Finally the dream of an elf free Ulthuan is realized.
R.I.P. john u were a good man/elf
its all fun and pillaging until you see twelve elven armies on the horizon making a beeline for your exact location
"Sailing 40 days and nights or 3 turns" got me 😂
Norsca needs a big buff amd a big dlc, they should be much more then just Chaos Lite
This video was on another level
absolutely top quality content 11/10
Glad to finally see gameplay from a historical TW game again.
You know Zerk.... Those Brits WERE self-righteous, and live on an island. These High Elves ARE self-righteous and ALSO live on an island!
So yes! Thank you for recolonizing that island!
That is actually the parody. Elves are England, and the Dark Elves are America, being the twisted evil colonial offshoot with the heavy use of slavery.
@@ASpaceOstrich Could also be Greece and Rome?
@@ASpaceOstrich lemme guess. The Aztecs are the Lizardmen.
This campaign basically sums up how Grombindals campaign goes lol. White dwarf straight to bully knife ears
I used to bring these builds to mp as Chaos before Norsca were even added, got a couple wins too!
Great vid brother, keep it up. Has anyone else noticed the new archer AI?
I don’t think I have
John fought bravely, but alas the danger was too dire and he succumbed to the horse. Rest easy John.
On one hand, as a Dark Elf player I grimace at the filthy short-lifers standing on the grounds that rightfully belong to the Witch King. On the other hand, it's happening to the Asur, my hated enemies so I take the good with the bad.
As a scandinavian I can confirm that we are well versed in fire magic and hate elves
Fun Fact: The Swedish word for "Donut" is the same for both "Monk"
What a great video that was~!
Enjoyed this one very much
Hello is it possible to make an update video on best mods for immortal empires.
New units packs and heroes. Please.
Last time I played wulfrik (I usually play throg) i made it my mission to wipe out all elves from existence. I'm glad that you too see this as a noblr goal
It is a fact, and all historians know this, that the only reason we don't have elves today is because the vikings killed them all.
i like those types of vids can you do same British empire tactics and more napoleon
"Ulthuan is our England"
Albion : *am I a joke to you ?*
The vikings didn't use cavalry. Not because they didn't have horses. It's just a nightmare to ship horses on boats. Not worth it.
As a Swede the lack of mammoths are horrifying. How do you guys think we get around if not on Mammoth-back?
Apparently Wulfrik thought the same, and kept finding giant mammoths to ride while pillaging around the donut.
“ just like in real life”😂
There should be a cutscene of king Elf Council accidentally letting the cakes burn then being berated by an angry peasant girl.
As a Dwarf player of 30 years by now, I love your blatant hatred of ZeElfen!
can’t help but see the similarity between this run and the way EVERY AI faction plays against the player lol
Very nice history lesson Zerk
