BREAKING the HARDEST Total War Campaign with 3 Legendaries by turn 11!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2024
- Zheng Jiang is mechanically the hardest Total War faction to play. I have come up with a strategy to make her a lot easier, however. We get a random LEGENDARY companion in the first few turns and Lü Bu on turn 11!

I really enjoy these videos. Pls keep at it Mah dude. The variety with the league makes it nice to look at and super Informative with these playthroughs
Chinese words I'll give a pass to, but at 9:04: The word pyrrhic is generally accepted as being pier-rick.
And now back to the video.
Yo my man, my idol raymundo, who is your favorite taiwanese gladiator in this game? Is it Lu Bu? It has to be Lu Bu right?
You do a great fucking job making this game fun to watch. Got me back into the Total War Series.

This is pretty much the same strategy I used in my first play through. Take the million to one chance for victory and risk everything to obtain everything. I just love the story about it. That was a fun game to play first time. I wish they would expand the story for certain events Like Imagine this from Cao Cao point of view.
Lt “Lord cao cao a bandit is claiming a title of queen in the mountains.”
Cao cao “No concern of mine.” Sips tea
Lt “Lord Cao Cao, the Tyrant Dong Shou was slain in the mountains by a claimed bandit queen.”
Cao Cao “A fitting end for a dog.”
Lt “Lord Cao Cao, the Han emperor has been taking prisoner by the bandit queen.”
Cao Cao “How can this be? Her army is smaller, suffering from high attrition far from her base in a siege?”
LT “Lord cao cao. yuan shao offered the bandit queen place in his coalition but she attacked and sacked his city.”
Cao cao “he was always a week leader. But this is opportunity. I will take his lands and after killing liu bei I will deal with her myself.
Lt “Lord cao cao the bandit queen has ambushed liu bei as he invaded her mountains. Taking him and his two brothers prisoner and executing them. taking all there weapons, armour and horses then later divided up with her new staff after purging the disloyal.”
Cao cao “How the?! Never mind, sun jian is marching north. I will deal with him first. Wait...”
Lt “Lord cao cao the bandit queen has fought and killed sun jian and taken the imperial seal.”
Cao cao “How can this be? Just give her food, give her money just keep her the hell away from us!”
A couple over stuff happened, she killed lu bu after perusing him into the desert. Taking the old capital and becoming empress. But I was happiest after she defeated liu bei and both his brothers in one on one fights in the same battle.
Outcome Predictions: Defeat.
Lü Bu: Am I a joke to you ?
Someone didn't learn to listen to Yuan Shao/Cao Cao. One does not simply 'fight' Lu Bu.
sun jian: only i get to fight stupid battles and win. yu just keep demolishing the northern warlords
wanted to see the continuation of the last video, but this is cool too. i realy like your three kingdoms videos!
so did i fren
@@trmplays Did you get rolled or what lol
@@trmplays You beat that army being outnumbered 3 to 1 with Lu Bu solo this playthrough, you can continue the other playthrough by beating the other army; they're only 2 to 1 according to what you said at the end of this video!
bro @trmplays more videos of Lu Bu steam rolling armies
"she never feels fatigue at all, that's a good thing too because she's gona really need that tonight with LuBu" xD xD xD xD
Its his narration. The way he narrates everything so well and so thoroughly (except for the few parts where he doesn't know or understand the mechanics) brings joy to our inner neat freak demons.
How to win Total war: Three Kingdoms.
1. Get Lu Bu
2. ?????????
3. Profit
"Lu Bu and Waifu"
Solid 5/7 better love story than Twilight
Your commentary is perfect for this type of game and it's obvious how much work you put into your videos which we greatly appreciate. These are my favourite videos to watch and you have become amazing at this style of editing.
That's the com i wanted to see, could not agree more.
Commander! The enemy is surrounding us and outnumbers us 1000:1, however we do have Lü Bu.
Outcome: Decisive Victory, Lost 0 Units
I don't even play this game yet I love this series lol.
Me too. but i like the 1VS1 system so much.... Still am struggling of having the game or not...
@@withastickangrywhiteman2822 i was in ur situation. Game is really well optimised, a lot of diplomacy options, very fun game worth getting
Same here. I'll wait until they fix everything. Probably I'll try it next year
@@Reachland02 Not just fixed bugs by then, but also should be cheaper.
WithAStick AngryWhiteMan yeah that’s in my buying list too
If this content is something you enjoy producing, youve stumbled on a gold mine. So engaging, thank you for it.
Pd: This could lead to a lovely drama.
Lu Bu and Zheng Jiang son want to be a comander instead of a first line warrior like his parents and they are disspointed. XD
Did you know that Records mode ACTUALLY predicts correctly which commander types are the best in melee? So in Records mode Vanguards are best on the charge, Champions are good in all scenarios, and with their halberds give Vanguards a decent run for their money. Sentinels are perfectly crap in Records, and Commanders are similar to how they are in Romance, but Strategists actually gain power.
@@anirbanbhattacharya9185 No i don't know, that looks imbalance in my opinion because then some type of heroes are useleess meanwhile others are good for everything.
Why yu not killing thousand people in single charge already? - Dissapointed asian parent.
@@mauricioaguilar7227 Not really. Think about it, Vanguards and Champions are supoosed to be the combat veterans. Records is actually morr accurate compared to Romance where you have Xu Chu and Lu Bu being the absolute strongest right click duellists and Xu Chu being the strongest duellist in general with Sentinels like Zhao Yun and No-name guys like Pei Yuanshao wiping out guys like Guan freaking Yu in duels
Pleasing Lü Bu every night while fighting in every battle.
Plus birthing future killing machines and managing the faction!
All that without maternity leave.
Zheng Yan best waifu ~
*Zheng Jiang
Truly a woman ahead of her time.
She's a workaholic
Wasn't expecting this play through but I love it. I love how basically every play through is like "can I get Lu Bu while doing this?". Those two characters make the best power couple lol
18:30 - 18:50 better love story than twilight
doujin when
Better than Diaochan and him.
Advisers: my lord our chances of losing are highe we need to retreat.
LU BU: * raising his head *
If your troops go directly into battle after "Force March" they will have that "tired" debuff. FYI
He knew they'd be tired, he just thought that it wouldn't be permanent (which it is). Also he really does play fast and loose with his armies, which I suppose is why I find this interesting, sure I take risks in my own campaigns, but they're generally calculated and I usually can turn any setback around by just manually fighting a few of the unwinnable battles to slow down the enemy.
i beg you never stop with these amazing vids, i loved every bit of kenshi and total war is just so much fun to watch.
I love these logical and tactical analyses. It feels well edited and smart. Even when you mess up it feels like it wasn't a stupid mistake, but instead a miscalculation. Good stuff.
Your videos are so GOOD. The research you put into them, the ability to take a situation and flip it is so enjoyable to watch. This is by far my favorite series on youtube to watch. Thank you for the great content, and vast knowledge. Absolute legend
Xiahou Yuan is one of Cao Cao's unique retainers but somehow he wound up getting released at the start of this game only to fall into Zheng Jiang's hands. RNG indeed. This almost never happens.
I like how you're serious, straight and to the point in describing your decisions, and you know when to relax and give props and camera love to your officers. 🦊♥️🍙
This is like the only line of Total war i can watch without getting bored, good job keep it up man.
just give everyone a night with lu bu instant +50 satisfaction with that spear
I've never played a strategy game like this and have never been able to make heads or tails of these kinds of games
But I havent had this much fun watching a youtube video in a long time. Thank you for the experience!
I actually did this on my Zheng Jiang campaign, I simply rush through to Chang An to get Han empire. Then, I migrate to South East while getting tons of money, Annex Nanhai which is really good city. then build those deserted city with that money.
As my neighbor Sun Jian I simply married Zheng Jiang to Sun Ce to get him and Zhou Yu, and had Sun Jian as my buffer state while I simply playing Sim City down south.
final rush is amazing it will let you run down fleeing units preventing them from escaping and having to be fought again.
Xiahou Yuan was either a spy (doubt at turn 2) or too expensive to keep on Cao Cao's payroll. Lucky draw really.
Gary Harris
He is definitely a spy, Cao Cao always sends his cousin and wife(Lady Bian) to go undercover at turn one.
@@frederikj5754 no crap? he starts with 2 spy slots on turn one?
Memes aside, Commanders actually make pretty good faction heirs. Their talent trees are pretty good for it and authority has an inherent bonus to faction-wide satisfaction.
Pyrrhic Victory = Peer+Ick
Just so ya know :)
Pie-Rick sounds delicious.
@Frank Jomungle Actually it's more like Fyrr-ick
@Frank Jomungle you sound gay ngl
Yarr I love pirate victories

Zheng Jiang has been my favorite campaign so far. Her Demand Tribute diplomacy option is so absolutely absurd, that by around turn 100 I was making over 20k income per turn with 7 full armies fielded. The funniest thing that happened in that campaign is that Lu Bu divorced me and left my faction, but several turns later I hired him again and adopted him, leading to my new favorite quote and mantra to live by: “if you can’t marry them, adopt them”. 10/10 would sack and withdraw again
Or maybe, “If he won’t be your honey, make him your sonny”
ur editing is improving every video(when i saw the child of lu bu i died ) , i just love when people play total war, is such a good game.
Sad to see the last play through is cancelled but I’m down for this one. Will watch em all for sure
Dong Min is actually Dong Zhuo's cousin, not his son. I suspect that the reason Lu Bu became faction leader after Dong Zhuo died in some of your past playthroughs is likely because Dong Min probably died (either he got killed in battle, or Dong Zhuo might actually have executed him to remove a potential "rival") himself somehow prior to Dong Zhuo's death, so Dong Zhuo probably reacted by making Lu Bu into the faction heir after Dong Min died.
These videos are where I found three kingdoms, loving the game so far. The way you edit makes it really enjoyable to watch as well. Good work.
27:30
Loo-boo and his waifu LOL
For the love of god it's not pronounced as Loo...
You dropped lu zheng so easy! I married lu bu in and made him heir as well, then adopted lu zheng into the family and that kept her happy enough to stick around
I love your Total War series, more so than your League content. RUclips is over saturated with League, but the way you play Total War shows you have a lot more fun with it, and in turn, makes it much more entertaining to watch!
More videos of this game please! i love your story telling of the gameplay and the editing, keep it up!
Idk why but i keep watching your 3 kingdom videos even though it's 35 mins, and im actually enjoying this
Finally a video!!!!!!!! You were the only thing I was looking forward to this week. But would be cool to see a continuous of the last campaign
I love so much this series especially since Zheng Jiang is my favorite leader, please continue.
This series is the reason I subscribed. Keep the total war content coming my man!
These are much more enjoyable than your league videos imo nice work
Gotta say love your videos man very informative yet entertaining format
Please post more of these, it's so fun to watch and I really look forward to them!
I think we definitely need to see more of this wonderful love story. It is a game of ROMANCE after all.
Best power couple ever, wanna see more of this playthrough!
i just finished watching one of your videos and you suddenly upload another one... this is gonna be a fun ride
Love this series. Genius and clutch plays, keep it up!
"Drop a like in the comments"
Okay then here is a like I guess
👍
if Dororo taught me anything is that if you have an useless kid, *commander*, you can make a deal with the demons for prosperity.
I dont know who you are, dont know this game, never was into strategy games and dont have a clue how I ended up here.
But this video was amazing. Never thought I could be entertained so much by something I dont understand.
Your way of explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it really helps. I mean, I dont get like 90% percent of it, but I get that that Lubu guy is pretty dope and tribute is sweet.
I think I'll stick around for a while. Nice job
Vanguards also get an assignment that boosts replenishment by another 15%.
This is most useful when raising armies or to quickly take a commandery once you have the city.
This is literally the best timeline of the best characters.
Hey man you really have to Show us how Lü Bu sons turned out. Wanna see those super sixpacks
great series, your commentary is funny af lol also anybody else hears "wink wink" whenever he says "wang kuang"?
You could have arranged the marriage when you are about to attack trade port on the north so that you can feed your Xiahou yuan or Luzheng to the Han army. Then you can get a free lu bu in your army by replacing your dead general.
Honestly, I just want to see how those two babies turned out, the commander could be the next coming of jesus and the vanguard might be a demon
Loving the video. Having issues with sound so I had to use captions. It’s funny when Lu Bu is mentioned the captions call him BooBoo xD
caocao likes to use xiahouyuan as a spy early on, he appeared in my sun jian campaign as well, and after i recruited him i started to notices all kinds of fuckery.
Zheng Jiang is infuriating since she's such a beast in combat (A champion who eats troops like a vanguard) but RNG kills 99/100 of my attempts to play as her. Thanks for bringing light to my favourite love story, Lu Bu's screaming violent romance with Zheng Jiang.
26:30 A whole nother? I expected better from you, don't be an idiot.
First video I've watched on your channel! Subscribed!
Advisors Predict a Defeat and not factoring LU BU, Lu bu i game can literaly turn the tide of the battle even if advisors predict CRUSHING defeats, I had Lu Bu and 2 other characters left while my entire army perished Lu Bu routed all the remaing forces no joke because of his abilities Rage and Smouldering Fury
Zheng Jiang gets super cheesy in late game. Her special building is one that gives +2% faction wide replenishment on level 1, and it can be upgraded, and the buildings stack, so in late game when you have like 20 cities, you can have 100% replenishment which makes any casualties irrelevant. Also you can demand tribute from any faction you almost beat in exchange for giving peace(you can add giving food into the equation to make them accept), and even demanding tribute from a tiny faction with only one tiny farming village will give you at least 1k income. Its way more powerful than trade agreements and you dont have to share borders with said faction. I demanded payment from a faction with like 10 regions and they paid me 20k minimum, and you can increase the tribute income by constructing yet another special building which again, STACKS. So yeah, im not so sure about Zheng Jiang being a hard campaign... In my late game im earning 100k a turn and i have about 1m in my coffers and i literally cant spend enough money on things to get rid of it all. Every building upgrade every turn in every region, number of armies capped out with the most expensive units possible, i buy every sack of rice or tiny item any faction has by just dumping money on them. Man its good to be the bandit queen. Not to mention, if you have enough food you can more or less bribe factions with food to pay you tribute, and then buy all the food back from other factions.
In my playthrough, i found out that losing your last city doesnt end the game, so i just migrated Zheng Jiang down south where i took some tiny Han village to replenish, and beat Sun clan and took the whole south. On the map in my campaign theres 2 armor craftsmen, 2 weapon smiths and 1 horse tamer, so if you control all those five settlements and upgrade them all to legendary then after like 150 turns you should have about 2 unique weapons and 2 unique armors(spawned). The horse tamer is up north pretty close to Zheng Jiangs starting position so you can get that early. One armor/weapon craftsman is south of Chang´an, so you can get that right after taking the emperor. One item craftsman is southwest on the western edge of the map, one is south of liu biao and one is right where the Sun clan starts.
Controlling all five of these isnt simply a matter of "i want all the good items", it also means the npc factions wont be getting those same item spawns, which they will. I discovered one armor crafter on the map way late into my playthrough and the faction that owned it had like 6 armor pieces they could trade. So the Ai benefits from holding those settlements. The most important Imo is the weapon crafters, since it makes any general who has them weapons that much stronger. Any unique weapon is liable to make any random general on par with a legendary character. So dont let the Ai get them good weapons. I hoarded those weapon smiths as the first thing i did and now after winning the game every character i fight has the lowest quality weapons.
Difficult campaign indeed...
This playthrough is exciting. Bandit Queen and freakin LU BU! All the killing puts them in the mood huh
I've never heard of this game and I don't know why I watched this in its entirety. Good job man
One of the small joys from this series, and I mean this, is hearing you pronounce these names a different way every single time you say them.
You play as Yuan Shu? Get Lu Bu
You play as Bandit Queen? Get Lu Bu
Your GF dump you? Get Lu Bu
Lu Bu is answer to everything
"better love story than twilight"
10/10
Dude I'm so interested in the babies if they will be the ultimate lord!!!
I think that "battle outcome: decided" means that the game predicts a victory.
So basically when the advisor says something like "A glorious victory will soon be yours!"?
No, it’s when a victory or a defeat is achieved, although you wouldn’t be able to use this ability when you are defeated
@@LucarioDoT no it would be on the auto resolve where you have the bar i think.
At some point in the battle you will get a hint from your generals that the battle is either as good as won or lost. Now how exactly that works I'm not sure. But I'm certain that is when the ability kicks in.
And yeah... it sucks big time. If you're winning you don't need it and when you're losing you're not really on the offensive most of the time.
@@TheGrouch91 The generals call the battle based on the balance of power which is calculated based on the number of remaining troops, their quality, their fatigue, ammunition etc... In total war games though, battle outcome: decided usually means once you either win or lose the battle, I think the reasoning for the ability was so your generals can hunt down and kill escaping enemies
This is the hypest shit on youtube ATM not gonna lie.
Final rush is actually insane. I've been watching someone else's TWTK series and after the outcome is decided, he takes his generals (and cavalry but they can't get Final rush) and mows down enemy troops to almost zero every battle. With Final rush, you can kill tons more troops so the enemy has to go back to their territory and replenish longer.
Best Three kingdoms content I have ever seen
Did you read Xun Yu traits??? He is a very good strategist.
momo 12320 THE Xun Yu, Cao Cao's guy, if u don't play as zheng jiang he mosy likely always dies turn one because he becomes fodder for AI, such a shame.
Tip: If you have the game, you can always know if a character was someone important in the romance by looking at title under his name, will always be something non generic (Hegemons Aide in this case) Also by looking at the total number of extra stats he gets in the background, +15 is generic +30 +60 +80 means they are of varying degrees of importance irl
@@trollgemomo3823 Its the Xun Yu that served cao cao since the beginning
You can confederate the other Bandit faction on turn 1 by simply offering the guy tons of money over time deals. If you just keep stacking them, he will eventually give in and accept confederation if you combine it with an ultimatum after he reaches trusted friend. Free Settlement and legendary lord.
Also, Lu Bu taking over is an event on itself. He starts a civil war against Dong Min.
Loving your 3k videos, keep it up!
Lol TRM threatens us by saying "like or you get a league video"
I liked :)
Man I love your videos, they're like perfect on time and still enjoyable. Also some pretty good editing keep it up man.
LÜ Bu and Zheng Jiang are the perfect couple, like Mickey and Mallory
Wanna see how the children of lü bu and zheng jiang turn out :D so please upload the 2nd part asap
Keep up these videos man! Loving the total war series.
Best love story ever. Deserves all the awards
I love your total war vids dude, wish I could see the continuation to the last campaign though, but anyway, keep up the good work!
As far as I understand, the "duration 10 turns" on the treachery warning, refers to how many turns the deal is supposed to last (and doesn't mean treachery will dissapear in ten turns). So far, I've experienced treachery decay at maybe 1 per turn. Correct me if I am wrong, though.
YOOO not sure if you read comments, but your units at the start are OP in seiges, you have the hidden axe's that are stealth units, so if you deploy everyone into a forest, the enemy wont defend towers and spawns on the main capture point in the middle, so you can use your stealth guys to take towers for free due to towers not being able to spot for themselves, essentially negating towers on the enemy town so yeah its super op, im new to the game but once i learned that i was able to take that town with under 40 casualtys. also pyrric is pronounced ph-hear-ic
also the green general you banished, can go assinement for +4 food that you can then sell for decent gold as you dont need it early
no it isnt. it comes from pyrrhus of epirus. why is everyone retarded about this. "pirrik".
trm the type of guy to banish a commander baby borne from 2 warlords
incase you were wondering why the archers don't fire on you in legendary it's actually because it's on legendary. As you probably know, with Warhammer 2 it was a very common cheese strat to use a hero or lord to bait and waste the ammo of all the charterers due to the wonderful AI and running in circles. so in Three kingdoms they still do that behavior on normal and below but I do believe the harder the difficulty the more selective archers are with their targets
Similar to my campaign where i took Lu Bu as Zheng Jiang's Husband however, Guo Si attacked whereby he died trying then, his army retreated and Dong Zhuo replaced Guo Si. I attack Dong Zhuo's army then captured him. I executed him and got his unique sword XD
Holy crap you are starting a bloodline of gods
The 50% speed increase thing is great for mopping up enemies that routed quickly. That's what makes it useful, you can get rid of the army instead of continuing to deal with it later.
"A better love story than Twilight" is like the lowest bar of all time though.
The Hidden Axes main use is to capture towers, as since they start out hidden, so long as there aren't any units near the tower, they can just enter the capture zone, and the tower won't fire on them.
Zheng Jiang gave birth right after battle? So like she was fighting while in late term pregnancy? Holy shit that's some crazy resolve and determination!
You know, I can't even talk about how random your start has been after I did the same thing. I took Hedong only to discover Lu Bu within spitting distance. I losty army, Zheng Jiang was wounded. Lu Zheng and Yin Li died. While redeploying Zheng Jiang I found Xiahou Yuan...somehow.
This is really good. Part two would be great!
Is it just me, or does every single time he says "Wang Kuang", sound like "Wink Wink" instead?
I NEED MOARR!!
i love your total war videos, please continuye the good work :D
Should've named the video "Sneaky reinforcements!? Lu Bu OUTNUMBERED 3 to 1!"
I need more of this. This is great and entertaining to watch
