More disaster battles/campaigns with extensive gunpowder units would be cool, they are rarely used.
If we speak medieval 2, that because they are shit.
@@florians9949 Their purpose is shredding through heavily armored units.
It takes so long to get them in the normal campaign
Reminds me of a Maya campaign I played with an Emperor having full dread and the rest of the army being Temple Guards.
Full dread + Frighten nearby enemy trait = doomstack worthy. 😁
1:18 “Ok let’s take out the Culverin, nevermind there is no culverin”
The AI did very, very poorly in this battle. I play mostly Shogun 2 and even though it’s easy to abuse, at least it usually doesn’t stand still and let you kill it.
I kind of wonder if CA overcorrected for how the AI is dumb in Rome. I won a battle where I sallied out in Rome a little while ago with just a general, 3 mercenary hoplites, 2 velites and 1 Cretan archers against a Pontic army of 3200. And in that, after my archers and velites took out their general and missile cavalry, my general was able to just insta-rout their archers and peltasts because the AI had been pointlessly running them around and they were exhausted. It also took nearly 1000 casualties from standing in range of the towers, and its general was killed by a tower. If the AI had been this passive in that battle, there's no way I'd have been able to win it.
I had one siege battle once where I only had 5-6 militia units in my garrison against a full stack of with siege towers and a battering ram. And for some reason, as soon as I took down the battering ram, the rest of the army just stood still while my ballista towers shot them until they broke from army losses. And that wasn't even a sally out.
Darthmod should help the AI
I play Napoleon tw darthmod, and after I break every units, they regroup and come again, and they try their best to flank me
yh i dont get how people still play vanilla TWM2. You gotta play Stainless Steel for it to be a fun game at least. DaC is goat
A yes the Americas Campaign, this was the first time i got to play with gunpowder units in Medieval 2. Since most of the time i would beat the campaign or get bored before unlocking gunpowder.
Great video legend, please do more MTW2 battle and maybe consider downloading some popular mods so you can do saves for those as well. I and i believe many others only play modded M2TW anyways.
would love some divide and qonqurer but he said he wont touch them
I found a way to have fun longer on regular med 2 campaign . Play on very hard .Use cheats for money then give it all away to everyone repeat as much as you want . BOOM! now everyone is a super power capable of fielding more armies and waging total war. That should keep you busy a little longer . The game gets so much more fun when everyone is fielding late game units. One time when I did this I was playing as england got myself excomminicated then realized the pope had conquered all of Italy Africa and part of spain and they had all of christendom helping them try to wipe me out
@@ayhanfedai5013 Sad, since a lot of the mods fix some of the bugs and glitches, like the one where Twohanded weapons are horrible.
He won't play mods, he said that a lot of times.
@@OldBaldWookiee That's OK, but a lot of mods do a lot more and change the way AI builds and behaves in combat. And some of the Mods are so insanely polished to where they feel like proper expansions.
Awesome to see some Medieval II Americas content! Crazy to think about how much content was in the Kingdoms expansion for a relatively low price.
Americas was arguably the worst campaign.
@@satyakisil9711 I agree but it's still cool to see some of it and it's atleast something different.
How many single dlcs today are equivalent to the content of the base game? I can't think of any
@@satyakisil9711 You're full of shit
@@Dexusaz I was rather disappointed to see four factions which are basically the same, the crusades factions had more variety. And Chicmecs were in every way a weaker Apache without the warpath.
it's ok guys, the spanish are just bringing culture and technology to them.
Rightfully so and as God intended. Vie Victus
They’re just doctors and engineers from war torn impoverished Europe. Let them in!
Yeah, bringing it to them at several hundred meters per second...
We were, Larga Vida a la Hispanidad
I'm sorry, but the ritual cannibalistic mass human sacrifices will have to stop.
"Sir! We keep hearing distant thunder even though it's sunny today, and our men are mysteriously falling like flies! What should we do?!"
"Maintain our formation and wait for them to sally out. The heat stroke must be particularly bad this time of the year."
Sir! The Spanish God is surely angry, and strikes with little lightbolts our warriors!!!! Plus their Mounted demi-gods causes ravages into our ranks!
"Mi lord, our man will not run from the battlefield, shameful display"
"I think we'll have to send even the musketeers in melee"
The musketeers hearing this be like 😐
Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are fine in melee. It's the other musketeers that need to worry.
"Sire we ran out of Ammo surely we should retreat behind the walls and refill?"
"No, ready the charge"
Scaleless lizardmen sure are passive.
If you listen carefully while watching you can hear Cerveza y Latifondo by Bardomagno
What did happen to those poor temple guards? They lack scales and a tail! They cannot be tainted by chaos, so what change them?
What minute?
Dude, thanks for that comment, that music is fire
Ahh, This is the Legendary old Total War AI I've heard so much about.
I'm curious, if people are saying older titles have better AI than newer ones, how bad is the AI in Warhammer?
I think they're so passive to get around the fact the besiegers should really be rushing from their siege camp to form a line, not instantly in formation and aggressively pushing back.
Not strictly relevant but I'd love to see a TW game with proper siege lines, camps etc. Maybe even design the siege lines turn by turn. A man can dream.
I mean they are bad in every game. Legend has a wh3 video up where he marches a hero into a fortress, then walks past all the enemy troops to catch the victory point. Like, lol.
Don't get ahead of yourself, this happens in Nu-tw too.
So much for being unbreakable when some Spanish boys with thunder sticks can beat them. Rip to those Mayan boys.
This... Is my BOOM STICK!
To their credit, they didn't break even while being gunned down to the last man.
Probably the survivigg guys put all that meat to good use...if you know what i mean
They fully proved their point by just standing there fearlessly.
The AI with hails of bullets to the back: *this is fine...*
Dude something hilarious happened to me as the Apache, after watching this video I decide to do a run as them for a bit of quick fun, I was quick to pick up some map Information and saw Spain was dominating as usual, then a few turns after the other European expeditions arrived New Spain went around and decided to god-damn COLLAPSE, I was confused at first when I got the notification that the faction was gone, somehow despite quickly becoming the number one faction, they went and somehow lost some decisive battles, killing off their entire leadership, now the native factions are lapping up what used to be their territory and putting my chances of winning the game at risk as one of Spain's former allies took its place and is well on its way to the quick campaign victory condition.
Its somewhere between a miracle and a disaster that this actually happened.
It actually happens more often than you think, for some reason Spain doesn't seem to be able to generate a lot of family members, especially the AI. I can count on one hand the amount of times Spain AI survived to late game because of this problem
The human sacrifices WILL stop
Thats is sure one too many Mayans fainting for no gpod reason. Thankfully, their mates have manners and know to fill in the gaps created by their suddenly dead companions...
Ha! That poor Culverin team, I didn't think they could survive with only 2 guys, never seen arty spawn like that before.
If they survive a battle with only 2 units they'll disband. But they probably had a few more, but then took attrition from being under siege, dropping them to 2 guys.
@@RockyX123 Ah of course, that makes sense thanks dude.
Went from an arty unit to just 2 blokes grabbed from the streets with a knife
I would love to see a full apache campaign. Great early units. Cavalry and muskets after a while, and they have a crusade mechanic. Best faction in the campaign imo.
Explain their crusade mechanic.
@@constantinople777christens5 it's called warpath. It works exactly like a jihad. You can call it with a holy man of 4 piety or better.
Couple of notes. It is very hard to level holy men in the campaign. They gain piety very slowly. Second note is, Apaches can only hire mercenaries while in warpath. I believe all of this is the same for the Chichamec.
Day #5 of asking Legend to bring back his old outro quote "See you next time... Fuckers!"
Fun to see the Americas DLC again thank you. The Gun crew could man a tower? Open grounds were the Spanish excelled with their ranged.. or close melee armour over basic tribal forces.. A matter of speed of foot and numbers.. Like fighting Skaven in a jungle if you cant stand off longer.
Wow, that roll up was a thing of beauty. And I like this game handled mass routing perfectly like a rout would snowball in our own history with a crumbling flank.
Yeah I really hate how total war warhammer units always seem to fight to the death and moral doesn't matter which makes no sense considering that in the board game, battles are really not that lethal and are won through moral more than anything.
OMG the AI sooooo stupid......
The amount of experience that Conquistador unit got is wild.
He became a God in strength and power
It was massive indeed
Started with a sinlge bronce chevron, ended up with three silver ones.
@@GerackSerack *gold
Conquistador have 2 hitpoints I believe.
that bird sound in the campaign map is reaaaally throwing me off, especially cos of how bad it sounds. It probably sounds "realistic" to some people but to me it sounds like CA just recorded irl bird sounds with a shitty microphone back then and just rolled with it LOL
Weird temple guards that look like under equipped empire troops..
The ai wasnt doing anything the whole battle.
Cuh-Cull-Con
Kukulkan
In case you were wondering. Hope that helps.
It's kind of dumb the developers never patched this crap out. Like, the army should totally be able to recognize what's going on and protect itself. Just weird they didn't and STILL haven't gone that far with the battle AI. They may have fixed the enemy just standing there letting you kill them one by one, but I'm not sure it's actually much better nowadays.
Man, and people talk about the AI being bad in Warhammer.
This is the worst AI I’ve ever seen in total war.
Oh man you should have seen Rome 2 lmao
Wtf. I still get blown away at the battles you manage to win lol
Americas campaign was my shit back in the day 💯 got a lot of good memories playing it
7:20 "Honestly this dude here... he's dead mate, he just doesnt realize it yet"
😂

I just watched your videos from 2013 on medevil 2 ,you are a true legend .❤❤
I remember beating the English armies with just an army of cobbled together Native mercs. Natives are pretty strong fr when you use them properly.
I wish you didn't have to exploit bugs & janky AI to win.
Yea, but how the hell would legend win, though? Have you seen the battle? The odds were impossibly against legend. He had to do it that way..
always funny to see how bad the ai is but Legend, this battle was boring as shit
is lovely when the AI just waits for you
I've seen a lot of historical TW players mocking WH3's AI behavior, but after watching this video, I can only feel sorry for you guys.
Med 2 is also nearly 20 years old. WH3 doesn't have that excuse
So this is the total war game that is so highly regarded? The Ai is literally asleep. Ig 20 years ago this game would be s-tier, but saying that today is just in bad faith.
Siege AI is really janky, absolutely. The AI in this game tends to be better when they're on defense or in a field battle, but yeah MTW2's offensive siege AI is infamously terrible.
I still consider it an S-tier total war due to the campaign and map design, the large unit and faction variety, and the general feel you get playing the game. WHTW games tend to cut a lot of corners in siege battles, and often the AI isn't that great there either.
Honestly, I think Shogun 2 has the best siege AI, and even then it can be easily exploited
4:48 Gunpowder units completely bypass shields in Medieval 2, so it doesn't matter which direction you shoot from while using them damage-wise. Not sure if Medieval 2 inflicts a morale penalty when you shoot someone in the back or side like in the more modern themed games, though I would assume so. But obviously, shooting from the side there was required to actually hit them, so regardless of the morale penalty it still is the correct tactic.
AI was just taking missile damage, when it had better melee chance. I wonder if there is a mod or smth to make AI more reasonable, competitive. Even in VH sally out battles it does this.
Hard to mod the AI.
But yeah, this is a bit lame.
I randomly came upon a new upload after checking your channel before bed! Can't wait
We have a culverin here, oh wait, no we don't. 2 dudes standing there lol. I fell for the same thing when i saw he had a culverin. Sally out with a culverin + muskets on the walls = easy kills.
7:20 Bro thinks he's idksterling 💀
*the human sacrifice will cease*
"the power of aztec necromancy" 😂😂😂 Nice xD
Funnily enough one of my first experiences with sallying out was on medium difficulty against a shitload of spearmen, the moment i started shooting them they came at me like a human wave, while the general stood back and watched the carnage happen cause they charged back into tower range
Yeah because the AI prioritizes the bulk of the army and the general. There are in that formation because Legend brought all his troops up in front of the walls, making the AI think he’s planning a frontal assault. They don’t respond to the Musketeers because they think it’s a faint for the main attack. If Legend only brought out the Musketeers and cab and everyone else remained in the settlement, the AI would’ve charged the Musketeers.
Love how they fill the gaps so you don't have to move your troops
9:55
Legend just turned into IDKsterling for a moment LMAO
man I thought the AI in warhammer was bad. In this one they just...let you shoot them? In the back? Okay.
Might be a glitch
For me AI does not even let me flank
He mentioned in the video; the a.i. is very passive during sallying out battles.
Yo legend. New to your channel. Feel like I've heard you say before that you don't really like Empire total war. Could you elaborate as to why? I've played rome, medieval 2, empire, Rome 2. All fun but empire is by far my favorite.... anyways keep up the good work dude
Medieval Total War 2 stream maybe ... ? pretty please Legend !
Aztec necromancy, brilliant!
Legend, please turn down in game dialogue. It’s difficult to hear what you are saying.
I can't wait for medieval 3 where you have to buy Spain as a dlc and the holy Roman empire is a day one preorder faction and longbowmen are in the king Henry lord pack and not available at launch
You straight up used actual Conquistador tactics against the Ai. The would just target the enemy's leader as soon as they could
if you use skirmish mode with musketeers you can actually increase their firing speed :D
You wouldn't stand a chance if the AI wasn't determined to lose in this sally out battles lol
"AY SENOR! MAYAN BANDITS HAVE RAIDED THEIR OWN VILLAGE..."
>"strategy game"
>look inside
>stat check with heavy cheese
often underestimate the power of properly micro'd cav 👌
Is there something going on with the audio? Still a great video though.
standing about getting shot... very sad to see the game showing its age like this
more medieval 2 videos please!!
The continent fell before the temple guard did.
Welp, beats human sacrifice anyway
Why do they run back? The walls?
How to demolish a Native American army with Legend of Total War!!!
QUESTION: Regarding Cavalry in M2TW. Every time I move a cavalry unit, it automatically goes into a skinny formation. For example, I may start a unit off just 3 rows deep and when I move them forward, they end up being 8 rows deep. It is EXTREMELY annoying. I am playing vanilla M2TW on Steam.
As an Indigenous person, these comments do not pass the vibe check.
Since it wasnt metion in the video i mention it here even tho i am sure Legend knows about it. If you toggle either guard or skrimish mode on or off on gunpowder missile units, they will change theyr shooting patterns.
For Example, if all is toggeld off, Units will walk back the Line after Firing a shot and allow already loaded Units to fire. They will reload with calm in the back while still remain mobile to move back / forward. You can see this play out in the beginnig of the Fighting with Guard Mode off. 04:40
If only Guard mode is active, the Ranks will not move back to reload but will do so in the front after firing. This will hinder the pace of theyr Damage output since only one Line is firing. The Unit will not go as quickly trough theyr ammo while making sure each volley doesnt waste a lot of shot. I didnt matter in this scenario but in a more chaotic situation it could be influential.
For whatever reason, if both Guard and Skrimish Mode are enabled, the Unit will use Kneel Fire. Both Front Ranks will shoot and load at the same time. Doubeling the Damage output and the use of ammuntion. So place them in a good spot.
This is on the top of my memory so if some patterns are switched or diffrent i am sorry.
I hope it was still helpfull and you learned something new about a game that came out 2006.
( yeez guys i feel old )
Oh yeah the musketeer sally, been there many a time
29:19 you forgot that Jesus came back 3 days after he died. So did this Conquistadors in their most holy crusade agaisnt pagan Mayans.
And people complaining that the Warhammer or Pharaoh Ki is so bad. Not like the Awesome Ki in Medieval 2 Shogun or Empire🤡
That's why everytime I see someone asking about the TW franshise, I aways make sure to warn them of the nostalgia grognards
Merry Christmas Eve from America
I am not sure if something about my audio setup changed that I am not aware of or what it is, but I found the audio really troublesome in this video. Had real trouble understanding you, especially in the beginning with the unit talking on the campaign map.
where was the Pauuuse Legend?
Kidney punch, Kidney punch, Kidney punch aaand pauuuuuse....Kidney punch
God 1 - 0 Child Eaters
You can merge units in pre-empire tw games, just drag the cards over each one, or press control+m to merge all the army, it would be more useful to have a single bigger cavalry unit in this situation
It was impressive, like an Alexander the Great on PC, haha.
But is there a way to contact him for a disaster campaign?
Watching these vids makes me realize just how awful of a player I am, even though I have played this game off-and-on since its release. :\
Watching you back in an America's campaign after all this time is giving me PTSD war flashbacks of a certain Dark Legend Apachean Tribes campaign 😂
These rustics are so inept. It nearly takes the honor out of victory.
Nearly.
Hey Legend,
I've sent you a save about a month ago. I am just wondering if this is normal or there is something wrong and my mail did not come
Refreshing to see some MTW2! Cheers
I got a question about warhammer 3 is it normal that on turn like 7 i see the ai with t3 army? Specially with demons i feel they are always too op
I forgot just how braindead the AI is in this game.
Yeah but it’s such a fun game nonetheless
Im spanish and I approve, give me the gold!
man, and i thought you won that fair and sqaure. You cheesed it
Who would win?
A grand Mayan army or some muskets boys?
Your awesome legend!
Hey Legend, cool vid. Also day one of asking for a hill tier list from your recent FOTS disasters.
Will you Space Marine 2 when it comes out?
I'd love to watch Legend play new spain from scratch in a livestream 😊
so polite of the AI to just stand there and let you kill its best units.
Strangest looking lizardmen I've seen yet!
Oh dang! Breaking out the metaphorical popcorn for this one!
are you german?
