Hey Legend thank you for winning my "impossible battle" I never underestimated you. I tried 10 times and came close to only 1 of them still needed your help cheers
You were so cocky about it being unwinnable. Sit.

"Unwinable battle" - 64 losses
It was to me but never to the Legend !
with skaven wich is even more impressive considering how many they are per unit
@@DiesNahts6969eshin gutter runners are the best skirmishers in the game though
@@shmekelfreckles8157 Depends, waystalkers are better in killing lords or high value infantry while kiting them. Gutter Runners are better against low-mid tier infantry.
@@thefiendish186 true, but poison is very good still. And gutter runners are a tier lower, way cheaper and 1 turn recruit time.
Astragoth using the Dreadquake on his own troops. - "I'm something of a Skaven myself."
Guaranteed way to make Legend choose your save file: tell him it's unwinnable.
isnt this generally the reason the battles get sent to him in first place? so its kinda redundant and besides, if all mailed in battles say "unwinnable" it will sort of defeat the purpose anyway!
Also, to actually send legend a truly unwinnable battle that even he could not win, the battle must consist of 100 Armies of all Factions and your Army consisting of one gobbo with two chopsticks that are not sharp! that might do it....although I mean....he gets a gobbo with TWO Chopsticks!
I have to say with basic tactics you couldn’t win this so I can see where the person had issues.
Few years ago I send disaster save to him, and he rejected it with saying it does not look winnable! It was a good weapon team with low-level heroes against LOTS of elite high elves.
Very well.
A half health, 12 unit garrison versus two stacks of decent army.
You have no lord, just a unit of infantry with encourage.
Also it's Lizardmen, your single playmaker type unit are cold one cavalry.
I chuckled when Legend shouted "Its playing Skaven music", the inner rat let loose :)
He forgot how to speak English momentarily lol that was great @18:26
When the inner rat-boy emerges
Lesson learned. Don't taunt Legend that he can't win a battle, but ESPECIALLY if it's using his natural kin - the Skaven, yes-yes.
Not unless you really want him to save you legendary campaign 😈
Reverse psychology, yes-yes
"the skaven can't win this battle"
legend - "the skaven dont have to win, we'll convince the chaos dwarves to defeat themselves"
A very Eshin thing to do
Me when play disaster battle: AI is an inseparable juggernaut, ignores distractions, always waits for its artillery and protects its backline, enemy heroes chase down my value like usain bolt
Legend when play disaster battle: AI drops an automatic flamestorm on its own units 5 seconds into the battle
There is prolly more to it to trick the AI responds that backfire
Officer: Look, temporary units! Throw every unit at 'em!
General: Moron! Don't forget the dreadquake mortar!
Just gonna get this out of the way: You won something!
When the AI uprising begins legend will be our john conner
I don't think there's any chance of an AI uprising programmed by Creative Assembly.
I dont think that CA is even remotly intersted in making a better AI.
After all they would have to Invest ressources into a Feature that very well could be disliked by a lot of Players because it would make the Game more frustrating 😉😅
@@davidkampmann9783 Its funny that this is still the situation after the General AI revolution we are seeing. I mean General AI models are beating the best human players in all kinds of games from Dota (old news I know) to all kinds of games, even racing games like Trackmania (newer and more interesting development). I wonder what stops companies like CA from taking general AI models and training it on battles from good human players. Maybe an AI that is too good will actually turn off players?
Legend surprised by his own effective strategies is always fun to watch.
19:04 it’s rare to hear legend express that much joy lmao. You love to see it.
when legend set control groups, you know it's serious
Thank you for the daily uploads Legend, it makes my day better
Skeptic: THIS BATTLE CAN'T BE WON!
Legend: To win this battle, we must convince enemies to kill themselves.
*Chaos dwarf army uses Dreadquake Battery on their own units to kill a measly menace below*
That battle against Zhatan might actually have been winnable if that was a minor settlement. I've noticed that in skaven minor settlement battles, if somehow you manage to stay alive and them not entering too far into the city, they just turn off and stay outside, letting you kill them with the towers
Not only skaven that happened defending against crooked moons as chaos dwarves to me, i guess is a general bug
Looked like its one of the Cathay walls Zhatan attacked.
I also noticed that when I was playing skaven. Some AI units were circling outside the settlement.
and what did we learn children? Don't ever doubt a man who's name has "Legend" in it
Imagine if the guy with the save file makes his own video actually beating the gate battle that legend said impossible lmao. 27:15
@@isaacalves97 The cav wasn't very fast since they were exhausted, Astragoth/fliers were the only fast ones since he has perfect vigor and they don't lose as much flying around. Also when units are tired they lose armor which lets gutters shred everything.
Eshin gutter runners are legit insane.
Usually it gets kinda exhausting rather quickly to constantly micromanage skirmish armies like this, but when you see them rip elite units to pieces like that its absolutely worth it.
You know what, I do like reading the emails.
Astrogoth sprinting down the field to wipe your commander out of existence might be one of the most horrifying images I've ever seen. I'm not even skaven and I felt like routing. Can't believe your leader didn't shit himself and immediately run off the field.
"Impossible battle"
Legend: Hold my cheese.
True skaven gameplay.
These battles aren’t impossible they are just super hard because you really need to manage ammo really well. Ive done a battle similar to this, with eshin vs zatan one of the funnier down to the wire fights i ever had !
Those who think that there's a battle that Legend can't win just haven't been watching Legend long enough ;)
This was the tightest battle I've seen in awhile. Almost out of ammunition just praying for army losses.
This is one of the videos where we'll be nostalgic about in years
i have noticed on rare occassions that a reloading of a game can change the auto resolve outcome. my guess is, that some of the buffs and debuffs are not "saved" correctly.
My favorite is when I'm gonna lose auto resolve then take a banner off my guy and suddenly I'm winning it
@@dippycord1678 The game is so janky, so why do I love it so much? I can answer that question, I just think it's amusing that I unironically love such a broken game.
Watching your videos is a master class, always love them
I love the "its playing skaven music YEAH!" comment
Watching your videos makes me want to buy this game despite not being able to afford it.
I haven't felt this way about a game since I was still in middle school and didnt have my own job.
It's 100% an amazing game. However the full experience requires a bunch of expansion packs as well as the game.
Additionally it gradually grows old; the gameplay is fairly well the same from army to army, race to race.
Regular gutter runners and Eshin guyter runners - is about 3 times more usable units in general. Their almost full AP warpslings is a no joke
Sigh. I have a stack of forsaken led by The Twisted Twins that are just now hiding in front of this hugeass Grimgor army + Waaagh. He has all his initial units + 3 giants in the waaagh iirc. Far from a disaster battle and I already know how to deal with him but I consider the direct attack unwinnable...
Temtped to send it to him just to provoke a reaction.
'but leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend, sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely you caaaaaaaaaaaaaan't wiiiin thiiiis'
...should I try?
Once I seen the army I knew it was possible but a huge pain in the ass
Hey now, that siege could be winnable...The bug where Zhatan crashes and dies immediately on contact with the Gates is still in the game, right?
Hey, I have a pretty bad battle that I could use help with, even if it's just advice.
The battle is a high elf vs lizardmen defense of a settlement. the settlement garrison is 3 archers and 3 spearmen at half strength, with reinforcements from a nearby army with a flying princess and noble hero, 1 white lions, 2 shadow warriors, 3 spearmen, 3 seaguard, 5 archers, 2 pheonixes, one great eagle, and one eagle thrower.
This is against 5 feral carnosaurs, 7 stegadons, 3 saurus warriors, a wizard, a melee hero, and cavalry lord. in addition, they have reinforcements of 1 melee lord, 1 chameleon shock infantry, and 1 pack of missile beasts. they have the high ground and there's plenty of woods all around. turtling up has led to the dinosaurs smashing my front lines, sending in my fliers to assassinate the enemy lord while my army hides in the forest has had mixed results, and splitting the army has given me no advantage. at this point, I'm considering hiding my army in the woods and waiting out the timer, but I'd like to see what you think.
Dude when I'm paying attention to the actual AI behaviors I see how it is easy to enhance the AI to be much more challenging without the need to buff the hell out of them and debuff the player in the higher difficulties
Just look at how the AI is stupid that leaves his artillery piece permanently by just getting touched in melee once
Or how it is stupid that uses those massive bombardments on top of its own troops
I mean when the AI programmers at CA can program the AI to ignore small targets and not shoot at them with missiles is it so hard for them to give the AI some kind of awareness of the surroundings to prevent it from using big AOE abilities on the areas that are filled predominantly with friendly troops?!
Or keep coherent of the army and prevent the creation of massive gaps in your lines when you advance
Or place some guards near important pieces of artilleries that are considered so important in your balance of power
Also what the fuck does "Zhatan the Black the Black" actually mean?!
27:04 "Zhatan the Black the Black"
Is it just me or is the AI a lil EXTRA stupid against Legend?
what absolute clickbait glad i skipped to the end to see if he beat it.
Clickbait yes yes! But thrilling and entertaining non the less...
Zhatan the Black the Black?
never forget that clan eshin gutter runners are honesty insane with the damage output thanks to all the armor piecing they get
Man, Astragoth really REALLY hates rats.
Legend can win 99% of all battles in game!
I am watching Legend for so many years and i am still impressed how insanely good he is at winning battles others struggle with. Nice work
oh if only this came out a few days ago, i was playing eshin and had problems dealing with chorfs.
Ended up abusing T3 skaven settlement defences and warpbombs.
moral of the story: use your AP ammo
Love you reading out the emails, great new touch
The AI is completely braindead bombarding and casting spells on its own army.
Dude made this look easy
i didnt you could play with the AI like that, its really impressive you did a very well use of each ability and each clic, i saved this video so i can come back and actually learn to play
Figured all the balance of power was in those abandoned Hellcannon crews. As soon as they got attacked, you got army losses.
Also, Astragoth is both rather fast and tall... (for a Dwarf).
I thought the same. The hellcannons were probably worth like half an army in balnace of power
After watching you micro Archaon and a bunch of shaggoths for 90 minutes straight in TWW2 I had no doubts that this would be an easy win for you.
It's gotta be that he got pulled out. If he wasn't and the ambush simply failed (i.e. was spotted) he still would have been the attacker. But since he said he was the defender, it's much more likely that he was spotted beforehand and then attacked by Astragoth.
Technically both cases are being spotted. It does suck that the game never makes clear that Ambush stance involves passing TWO calculations.
@@mattandrews2594 yes, but in one case astragoth would be the attacker, while in the other case he'd get a prompt to attack the army (Even though he was spotted) making him the attacker.
But yes, it would be great to get a chance for being detected indicator somewhere.
I envy you sir. The vortex campaign with Hexoatl still taunts me
As a new player to TWH, this was amazing to watch. I'm on my 2nd campaign ever with DE as Lokir Fellheart and I've had a battle or two that said decisive defeat in AR but I took control and grinded my way to to a victory.
Just have to finesse the AI a bit.
How is the ai that dumb? On very hard its seriously dumping its valuable high damage abilities..... on a blob thats 90% its own troops? Bruh.
The weeping blade contact effect on the night runners cut down a big portion of the armor on their single entities, giving the gutter runners a lot more bang for their buck
I wish I could stomach buying this game but how could anyone look at all that DLC and think it's worth it? Doesn't CA understand that people are put off by that? It looks like you're only buying 1/4 of a game.
Maybe it would've been "impossible" if they were using dreadquake mortars on iron daemons rather than hell cannons (assuming the ai didn't waste all its shots on summoned units) but I don't see how this could ever be classified as impossible in the absence of dairy?
Now in all fairness - if this *were* a succesful ambush battle, you'd probably still send it to Legend. Holy crap, the disparity in power here is insane.
Eshin convert 100% of the dmg as armor piercing for Gutter runners, IIRC.
absolutely essential vs chaos dwarves.
GG legend !
LOL! This was so enjoyable!
You have done so many winnable situations, and a couple that just couldn't be won, but I wonder how you decide how a battle is winnable or not. You said a while ago if we have absolutely ruined campaigns, where you have said before you can't solve them, you're not even trying to make them into a video.
I'd be interested to learn from your experience, what battles aren't worth trying to win, so I don't waste time on my own trying to win something you would autoresolve anyways.
lol I actually gave him impossible battles, but calling this impossible? FAR from it
wasn't easy by any means and very entertaining
that was a banger. the ai behavior around those summons at the beginning was so goofy
Unwinable Battle! Legend ok what do we have 2 rocks and a stick
Well good enough but we probably get some dmg😂
Nice, yes-yes! But I'm still missing "later fcukers" at the end of each video :D
Impossible battle? Skaven clanrats will do. The grindset here. Give this man a single skaven and he will cheese the world yes yes
When I see Legend play, I think to myself that his unit tier evaluations don't mean shit.
bruh the ai in this game is brutally stupid - "A single unit of summoned clanrats? fire everything"
I want to be good with Eshin’s skirmish play-style but I am really bad at it
Eshen....esshhaaayyy. buuuuhhhh😂😂😂😂
Dwarf LaDS
Dwarven noughty boiz
been a tw palyer for over 15 years historical games... this is like speaking chinese to me
nothings impossible when the master of cheese gets his grubby mits on a skaven army.
If you can not win as Skaven Legend is the person who can pull it out if it is possible
The game is piss easy so how would a battle with a similiar amount of units ever be unwinnable.
Mad rat playing Benny Hill chase scene with Astrogoth
Saying that a battle is impossible for Legend triggers his hidden shenanigans
Who needs allies when you've got AI like this
Legend really should have been the voice of Thanquol when he releases.
4:00, yepp, the rat lord
man the AI in WH3 is abysmal. Such a shame as it is so much better than 2 in most other ways.
Never try to put this man in a corner in a situation where he can loose his inner Skaven.
good to see that the idk 10th tw episode is still an unbalanced scripted mobile mess
I've been ambushed by that title the video should've ended before the battle even began.
dwellers below? well, I guess since it's Skaven :)
Is it possible to send files of multiplayer campaigns?
tw3 is far easier than 2, prob why you expected it to be hard
should have ended the title with a ? I was interested to see a tough battle you could not get.
Cant win?.... hold on a sec let me get my popcorn first
My Medieval 2 total war merchants would easly beat that army
Legend "is there no one else! IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?!"
lol
CA might have to make a learning AI to kill Legend.
There is no battle the legend cant win.
🖖♥️🖖♥️🖖
who is the real skaven here? squick! squick!
How tf did Zatan have the ice forged legion in his army after you just killed it on the same turn 😂
Its a different faction. Each faction of the same race gets their own "copy" of each regiment of renown. So drazhoath, zhatan and astrogoth can each have one.
I have 3 copies of that unit in 3 separate armies after confederating all of the other chaos dwarf factions.
@@CrazyMegaOmega Ah I see, somehow I didn’t know that. Good looks
"Impossioble-unwinnable" battle yes yes
