I absolutely love the full movie style of your challenges. The amount of game and tactical knowledge with the skill to implement your strategies is impressive. Not only that, they are a great joy to watch.
Watching you talk so much about proper angle-of-fire for trebuchets and how important gradations in elevation are gave me Fall of the Samurai flashbacks - playing Brettonia, of all factions, like Fall of the Samurai is just wild.
It’s strange that sacking a Tomb King’s settlement makes you lose chivalry lol. Like “For shame my liege, how can you be so dishonorable as to loot the homes of all those innocent mindless undead?!?”
The best hand-waving after-the-fact in-universe explanation I can think of is, "Forsooth, but we are grubbing about in these ruins for gold and trinkets like we are filthy peasants! A True Knight™ such as myself would not be so venal (never mind the fundamentally greedy and exploitive model of every aspect of my lifestyle), hon hon hon!"
During battles with reinforcments, You can click on the icon when in the battle and can drag it around the edge while doing your deployment. That way you can have them reinforce from the exact location you want but it also will increase the amount of time it takes for them to arrive if you move it far from the original point.
@@tonyogreking9844 I think this is the first game where they had the icons at all, could be wrong but i don't recall it being in any of the previous historical or warhammer games.
The Tomb Kings ALWAYS have their realm of souls Ushabti. It's a very important faction mechanic. Even my own tomb king settlements said they had none, yet in the battle, I was able to use them. It's just one of their desperately lagging behind game mechanics. Basically Skaven Menace Below but large constructs.
I dont think its a bug, just worded poorly. You cannot use the Ushabti summon until you reach Tier 3 Realm of Souls so technically it is correct before the battle saying it has 0 uses because it adds 1 use during the battle.
"We're concentrating all our losses almost exclusively on melee infantry" -historically accurate This was awesome, thank you Looking forward to a beastmen challenge. Minataurs only with Taurox? do they have enough large single entities to do something like the dinosaur only campaign? Cygors are unreasonably heavy hitting at both range and melee but idk
Possibly - the next two are already planned. After those Minotaur Only is on my short list, but I have minimal experience with the Beastmen so it will take quite a bit of prep for me to do it properly.
@@additionalstupidity I've been grinding out beastmen and personally I'd say it would be very entertaining plus you're good at the game so you could make a lot of ambush plays

I have attempted to watch this 6 times, usually as I’m falling asleep, so I fall asleep to it, but I want to watch. 7th night in a row trying to stay up long enough to watch it
Will you ever attempt this challenge once again? Maybe with Mods? There's "Liliy's Bretonnia Overhaul" (i think it's called) which adds new Paesant units and ROR for Bretonnia, which would be so fun to see in battle!
Love these full movies. Would really really love to see you do one of these challenges with the Tomb Kings, their morale mechanic means you can do some crazy BS in really bad fights
Omg I just realised how Tomb kings always end up so powerful in the end game every time, because they don't pay upkeep so economy is not a limiting factor to the tomb kings military power
I personally catched this on viewing 3. Those units he is complaining about not existing on the ui is a toomking mechanic. (As probably most know) The thing I find interesting is that, this unfamiliarity points to not having played much toom kings. (Or they simply forgot the mechanic, which is also fair) This doesn't go anywhere specific, just something I found interesting to think about while watching the video. (Doing my best impersonation of an armchair psychologist)
Putting artillery on defensive fixes this issue. What's happening is that is can't shoot what it's ordered to shoot, so it tries going forward. But going forward is rarely going to help if the firing line is obstructed so it goes crazy far.
Some hidden mechanic you can swap from land to see and the other way around even with just 1 remaing movement point but the remaining 49(cost 50) will be deducted from you next turns movement
i did this not as a challenge but a playstyle back in war hammer 2 because i had not played to much of the bretonians and did not really like cav i knocked out all of the high elfs by turn 50-60 and had like 20 armies just abused the archers only Jesus are they op then i eventually got better units i just spammed full stacks of poison and fire archers they did work killed dragons, tyrion and everything else they had was a fun campaign
It is my least favorite thing when you try to click to fire on something with artillery and instead of attacking your artillery thinks you told them to walk there. So you just have like cannons or something walking across the battle doing nothing for like 10 seconds as you swap to something else before you notice. "Hey my artillery hasn't shot that unit yet." only to see them inside the melee blob.
For me it came down to the starting location. I personally just find the Tomb Kings easier to deal with than the Greenskins, vamp counts, and slaven. Also, they give roughly equal buffs to peasants.
Im kinda wondering if there is a reason why he doesnt use the faye enchantress ( gives +5 on peasant economy, so easyer start and she gives loss reduction so more genocide potential) or if he just wanted to suffer
can you beat Total War Warhammer 3 using only skeleton Warriors skeleton spearmen and skeleton archers as the tomb Kings if you're having any trouble as in not being able to control enough armies to counterweight the lack of strong units I suggest the use of a singular mod. (dansmeah unlimited tomb king armies). that is the mod you should use if you need it
you cant witdrawe units that ar in mele you have to pul them away frist then you can witdrawe them same for attack orders or somting its a bit janky but it workes
Ngl the peasant economy mechanic is really dumb. Pulling away a few thousand peasants and your economy is in the drink, but supplying over a thousand fucking knights? Pish posh, easy as pie.
Peasants work the fields, make the clothes, catch the fish, shoe the horses, cart the loads, build the infrastructure and pay the taxes. So yes, pulling peasants into war makes sense that it would tank the economy. It might be inconvenient, but to say that it is dumb is well... dumb. You seem to live a sheltered life.
@@lostree1981 Yes, but several thousand in comparison to the amount of knights you can field? It makes no sense economically, especially considering how in Medieval times levies that drew away tens of thousands of working men from their homes didn't completely tank the economy of kingdoms, because of the sheer scale of things. Fielding Knights requires a rather ludicrous amount of equipment and investment, and yet, in Total War Warhammer, fielding Knights is usually better for your economy. Which is dumb.
@@lostree1981Why did your comment on peasants in a video game have such personal hate? Do you even realize other humans are on the other end of the screen?
@@KaiimeiUnits of knights already have far more upkeep. A unit of peasants is 25 gold per turn, whereas a unit of knights errant is 175 gold per turn. That means you can afford 7 units of peasants for the upkeep of one unit of knights, not to mention one unit of peasants being 160 people, compared to only 60 knights. 60 knights would have far less effect on available manpower than 1320 peasants, but they cost the same amount in upkeep per turn.
the thing i hate about TWWH Peasants - actually medeival peasant archers were conisdered to be better than the armies own archers because hunting for their own food, made them far more experianced daily than the army. thats it, my only gripe. the peasant archers are suppose to be stronger due to constant use of their bows.
Do you have a source for this? because any archer would be practising as part of being an archer, and peasant archers will also have other professions they have to work.
So uh, hella cheating on AI part for tomb kings, **7 turns before you unlock the 2nd army** Arkhan has 2 full stacks by turn 6!? Ayo, do the AI just start with full research or what?
