This is it, this is what Total War is all about
Just wanted to comment the same. On the other hand, sadly its not quite what a single human brain is made for.
hell of a battle. truly a legend of total war.
My favorite part was when the soldiers said "it's total warin time" and started total waring all over the place
10/10, Legend my brother we need more of these battles! This was fucking entertaining as shit mate
@@cryptosporidium01 it was truly one of the total wars that has ever happened.
Thanks for doing my Battle, I'm still on this campaign, the High Elves have not given up yet!
Get the soul stealer spell ASAP so you can heal Malekith in battle. I'd also grab a death hag for some extra replenishment too.
Where I can find the link to your save file for this battle?
I wanna try it myself🧐
Did you have enough movement for an ambush? Set up an ambush on the opposite site of the settlement from the direction they are coming from, just barely inside the zone of control so you are as far away as possible but still able to defend, this lowers the chance you will be discovered. They will send a much smaller force to attack the settlement without knowing you are waiting to reinforce the settlement. Smash that army and go from there.
The AI sometimes acts incredibly smart and then sometimes absolutely stupid. Mostly playing in hard I’ve seen feats of Sun-Tzu proportions and then other times I have 2 full dwarf stacks just sitting there while my lord lands on top of them to take out their cannons. But they do shoot at your single entities all the time and it’s actually a good strat, huh.
Tbh. ‘Smart’ is most likely just a coincidence. The A.I is inexcusable dumb generally speaking.
You rarely get battles like this anymore because the AI is so cowardly
Speak for yourself. You're either playing the wrong factions, doomstacking all your armies and/or playing on a lower difficulty. Try out Norsca if CA actually fixes Monster Hunts in 3.1 or play as Kislev or Kairos on Legendary. I've had to fight off multiple stacks from Azazel and Thrott, Astragoth and later Archaon's bitch ass stacks of nearly all regiments of renown because he hated me taking back territories the Chaos stunties already took from me. Then later Katarin, Kostaltyn and Roppsman Clan once I beat back the turncoat Chaos factions. I quit that campaign because once I had room to breathe, I did my first monster hunt and it bugged out so I couldn't select the next one.
As Kislev, it was a never ending war against first Azazel and Sarl, then Thrott, Throgg, Wulfrik, Daniel and later Archaon and his Norscan simps while Festus had just declared war. Kairos was a brutal saga against Volkmar, Repanse, Teclis, Tilea (Southern Realms mod so it's not a weak Empire faction) Thorek, a ton of lizards and finally Belegar and a 30 settlement deep Thorgrim. It was insane but very satisfying once I finally got some generic lords leveled up, broke through and started making progress capturing and holding territory.
For real man. I don't usually play with mods, but I found one to make the A.I. like TWW2 A.I. because I got sick of them running away.
@@CrimsonUltrafox whats the name of the mod? Ive been looking for just one like this. I hate the coward ai in tww3.
I don't understand how people say this. Enemies only retreat from what would be devastating defeats, and they can check balance of power just like you can.
What do you want? The AI to blindly suicide into your doomstack so you can just autoresolve it anyway? Just like you, the AI doesn't want to throw away their armies for free.
@@bigquazz3955 Well if you remember very high/legendary difficulty in warhammer 2 you'd realize that AI has massive upkeep/recruitment cost reductions and can spam loads of armies. They dialed it down in warhammer 3 so now the ai will recruit like 2-3 stacks and then just sit there instead of expanding like in warhammer 2.
Holy shit this battle was an absolute rollercoaster after 6:53
At 7:21 you really see how fucked the situation is with massive blobs of High Elves running to you
a battle that ends in a cluster f*** feels so much more real to how field battles for real play out.
Just depends on the battle your talking about tbh many of them certainly did but not all
I'll take a field battle over a settlement siege 9 out of 10 times, purely due to the nonsense AI routing.
The thing that annoys me the most is whenever I give an army of mine to the Ai, somehow, someway, they find a way to kill the lord 100% of the time I have always given said army to them.
The problem is that AI range units ALWAYS attacks lords and heros first, but friendly ai always charges with them into the enemy instead of holding back
Anytime I run into a battle with multiple stacks on either side like this, I take it. Regardless of the predicted outcome. They are simply too epic and are so rare. Also, I'm a big believer in decisive battle theory, so seeing these kind of engagements just reeks of potential 😁
I love my big battles.
The solution I've found is to simplify them. Rather than thinking of 6 infantry units, 6 ranged units and 4 cavalry units, I often treat them as just one infantry group, 1 ranged group and 1 cavalry group by grouping them up.
The only units I'll micro manage are lords and spellcasters.
I really struggled with those big battles until I started simplifying them.
7:00 When shit gets crazy. 10:24 Murderous prowess pops. 20:23 Army loses.
Damn, what did that unit of Corsairs at 08:47 do to you to deserve this? 😢
their deaths technically count towards Murderous Prowess
Wow, this is probably the most epic battle I've seen Legend do, straight out of Warhammer lore pretty much!
Nothing like a knife-ear civil war to brighten up the day
I do think Legend you're onto something with your point at 5:30 about the AI behaviour on lower difficulties. I do tend to see the AI acting far more recklessly than in these videos, and IMO that actually works to the player's deficit since there's less time to make decisions and you're under pressure almost immediately.
I agree, in my “hard” campaigns the enemy almost always are able to dodge spells, if they are not in combat. The very hard battles seem bugged.
I was about to say exactly the same thing, when he dropped the burning head on that stationary infantry unit with nothing pinning it there I was sure they would move out of the way, instead the unit just got completely deleted.
I know I'm weird, but I love huge battles like this in my campaigns, but I play on lower difficulty so I can pause and actually micro everything somewhat correctly. My battles might take longer, but it's a lot of fun having like 10 things to manage at once when you have the time to do so.
If you want to have similar battles to this one then i recommend a mod called "call allied warband" which can teleport allied armies next to you. This can set up huge battles, specially during end game scenarios,
Video seems to die at 23:10 for a bit.
been lots of stuttering and freezing in legends videos for like the last year or so
Yeah some sort of exporting error maybe? Video hitches and game/mic sound stops for a few seconds.
@@Lockerus After such a big battle the game has to do processing which takes more cpu power and that in turn affects other software, in this case his recording software.
"I can feel Khorne COOMING at this battle right now"
-Slaanesh lmao
I remember I had a battle like this on Attila, was very cataclysmic and intense, but this looks even more intense with the addition of magic and dragons
I remember having modded attilla with kingdoms 1212 and a AI and reinforcemente overhaul and it was great, battles were lesse common but they were wuge when them happened, sometimes it was 10K X 10K, this made every single one of them very important
I have watched literally thousands of your videos and I've never seen a battle of this magnitude. This was epic. I've no idea how you managed it. Nice 😁
Flagellant disaster was great too :) although not this grand.
Legend I just want to say the magic bug is way worse than you think 😂 yesterday's I received 129834 damage from a fire wizard that was casting spells after he was killed by my Lords and heroes in the first 3 4 min of the battle 😅
Are you taking about infinite fireballs?
It is like the catapult bug in Age of Empires 2
@heurek91 honestly I couldn't be mad it was so fucking stupid 😂 imagine playing the undead an a dead wizard wipes your armie🤣🤣
What Bug?
I’m not sure what magic-bug either. If it’s the “infinite mana” that some people experience, I don’t get that on Legend/VH or VH/VH.
I will “regularly” have enemy mages spend all their mana, casting shot at my flyers, and then land them behind/among trees, so they don’t get hit. And at some point, they always stop casting, and never resume, or only cast 1-2 more spells when the actual battle begins.
The only bug I’ve been aware of, is my speedy units, like bats or doggos will very often slow down to be slower than fragging zombies.. not even talking walk-speed… it’s like zombies with Melkoths myst miasma, and curse of years speed debuffs on them..
you should make the recorded in-game replays of your battles available, watching this clusterfuck in slow motion would be sick...
I think the post battle report and loading was bugged. Your 2nd army that had the darkshards showed half of the Darkshards got wiped out but at the end of battle you'll see that all but one were in decent shape. Yet Postbattle report showed half of them got wiped out which is completely wrong.
Good old Malekith. I always imagine him hosting a game show called "So you Think you can Lead the Druchii?"; where the winners get fabulous prizes and promotions, and the losers get flayed in front of a live audience.
You deserved my upvote !
hell yeah no chaos dwarfs
@Forrest Mcgee I don't hate them. Just over saturation of the video content from all creators currently.
replay this in cinematic mode and you got an official total war trailer lol
after so huge battles i love to look over the battlefield after the fight just to see where all the corpses are. Sometimes there are some neat storys you can imagine that happend here and there. As example i look to huge dead beasts or go and look after the fallen lords or just how big the overall fight was that is painted in dead corpses. Its so good sometimes.
AWESOME video. Thanks, Legend!
Man, he does all of this while barely using the pause button while mine paranoid ass can’t go five minutes without pausing
I have always kinda felt that the AI plays slightly differently for me vs how they play for Legend. Can’t put my finger on it exactly but I distinctly remember feeling that way after a couple of videos over the years.
Ai behaviors change with battle difficulty, you didn't mention it so maybe you are not playing on very hard battles? Also ai change: if you are attacking or defending, if it thinks you have or not artillery or range superiority
I play mostly VH/VH and a little L/VH, and I also experience AI acting different for me than what I usually see vs Legend, with similar types of armies.
I’d say that it often acts even slower/stupider..
I Do set up a bit differently, but I usually get to blast almost half an army away before any reaction of ANY kind.. abit boring from time to time…
There are few races that can do battle like this just fine. Most of them being melee focused factions like Warrior of Chaos, Khorne, Nurgle and VC for example, and that is where started to like bad guys lol.
Perfect Vigor goes a long way too for marathons like this. I think Sigvald can get it, maybe some Aspiring Champions? Some of Bretonnian elite knights. This is making me want to look up who has it.
@@Shane2020xxx You can have Perfect Vigour on Undivided Chosen and Sisters of Slaughter by Crone Hellebron too. I think Greenskins can give Nasty Skulkers that trait via scrap upgrade as well. Sartosa Free Company does have it too albeit it's leadership dependent.
@@forrestmcgee7631 no, they wouldn’t. You can only bring 4 stacks total including allies.
This is my favourite battles no cheese just pure fair fight.
yeap coc this is why u have group control, for these chaotic battles. also always keep an eye on the unit cards on the bottom so no heroes or units get faked without u seeing it
Insane how you managed that, my brain exploded the second the reinforcements came in
His execution is often flawless, and when it's not it's still so impressive. I would have never been able to even come close to this
Damn that really was the battle for Ulthuan
So many death elfs the dwarfs must be Happy
Damn this is a true Warhmmer, this is a Total War. To bad map isn't the best for this mass slaughter
These battles are always my favourites, even if they're tough as nails. My most recent one was an absolute slugfest as Eltharion against Belegar, essentially an archer line vs a gunline with massive infantry clashes all through the middle and constant hero fights.
It might not have been an attack legend would make but it sure made a fun spectator experience
That's Strange you lost way more in your second army than you should have. At the end of the battle, the caster lord had more health than Malekath and you had 8 Darkshards that were either above 50% health or just below that. Yet, the lord died and you only have 5 darkshards alive. That looks like another bug to me.
I don't know how you can keep up with so much without pausing. I spend 3/4ths of my battles paused figuring out what to do. =P
Without a single doubt in my mind, even now 10 months later; The AI is absolutely more aggressive on Hard and normal difficulty than very hard and it really does make it more squirrelly. You can use that to your advantage as well, but that's the case for any AI level if you can consistently predict the majority of the pattern(s).
I fucking love playing (and watching!) big messy battles. I don't even care if I lose them they're so fun.
I started playing on very hard battle difficulty pretty recently, jumped straight up from normal. I win more often on very hard. It makes no sense.
Never get tired of hearing Sisters of Slaughter and Witch Elves charging and screeching
Ледженде, нічого не зрозуміло. Додай будь-ласка українські субтитри
Hey Legend ! What about you start a new series about PVP match up ? That would be quite the change ! Would love to see how you perform !
The scariest thing about having so many armies in one battle is watching the load bar. Edge of my seat in anticipation of the impending application crash... over and over
Fantastic bloodbath
Why does it say the elves deployed 4088 units but the dark elves captured 4758 after the battle, the math aint mathin
My computer exploded 5 times just from watching this...
i dare you to actaully play the game and fight battles, ever single youtuber and what not for this game never ever actaully paly the game then jsut tell people what is good or bad if i wanted nonsense icould go watch turin and those people struggling to control five units. Do something for once actaully abcttle and use tactics instead of exploitations, again i dare you
WHII A.I is harder than this, can't for life of me understand why things have got worse in WHIII not better
We need a battle of just 8 total army’s of dreadspears and spearmen for the true staunch experience
Question, either for you or for anyone in the comments who's willing to unironically help: Is there anything you'd recommend to make the leap from "I sorta know what I'm doing, consistently win Normal campaigns but no harder" to "I actually know what I'm doing, and I can consistently win Very Hard/Legendary campaigns?" Maybe a series where someone goes through a campaign and explains why they're doing what they're doing?
Are you struggling with battles or campaign on higher difficulties? Pick a faction first then watch a bit of Legend's streams or disaster battles if you're struggling with those. He's much clearer and concise during disaster battles and offers excellent reasons for his actions. Even if you're not playing on Legendadry, his streams are worth watching because you get the campaign tips and he verbally weighs options on their positives and negatives quite often.
Kain: "Now that's what I'm talking about!"
22:32 the whole army loss screen is bugged not only didnt the lord of 2nd army die but also a bunch of units survied only three died .. and unit caps are at ONE i have never seen this bug before
I play on hard and the AI tries to delete my wizard immediately. Especially flying wizards.
"Oh god it's so hard to keep an eye on what's going on here..."
Bro I was lost 60 seconds into the fighting.
Can I be honest? I have absolutely fking no idea what on earth there, that's insane. Truly a carnage
It's a shame that anything beside 1v1 is in Total War campaign extremly rare.
watching the shades and darkshards just stand there is infuriating. CA needs to address the fact that even though they have a clear line of sight and aren't being harassed, ranged units still won't shoot unless ordered to do so
The winner of this battle was Khorne. So much blood and so many skulls.
rare but that disaster battle was intriguing to watch
no cheese fair fight
Dont get why some shards refuse to fire at will
Also hard or normal AI sometime fight better than legend
Thoroughly enjoyed this nightmare.
looks like an entertaining battle iamma go and make a disaster battle worth of the video unlike the ulrika battle vs demons of choas
Having a battle with this many units is so fucking cool until you hit the end battle results😂
9:00 that was some HEAVY friendly fire.
This why I use pause and slow time and also to zoom in on the action for some cool shots. Game is more fun that way.
at 5:33, the AI would've imedetially tried to kill my archers.
My battles look like this on normal difficulty and its stack vs stack.
LEGEND SAYS PHAROH WILL BE THE NEXT GAME AND A FEW DAYS LATER IT COMES OUT. INSAHLLA HE IS A PROPHET
what a massacre. Long time not see anything like that. Thx Legend!
It was always true on the tabletop too where DE vs HE was heavy on casualties
Lol, there more enemies captured than present on the battlefield...
The reinforcement general controlled by legend never died in the battle, wtf?
What??? That army didnt Get smashed like that? No deathshards died in battle
Best battle ive seen in a long time now, amazing big epic battles
Your profile pic looks like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.
This looks like the Sundering itself, epic.
Oh legend you were right total war Pharoah is the next total war 😊
Battle of Changping ~ colorized
Also Legend was spot on about Pharaoh Total War
I looked away for a few moments and all of a sudden it was carnage
Ah yes, the average wednesday on Ulthuan.
I know you don't do multiplayer, but would you consider doing custom battles against community built armies?
He’s done it a couple times before. Usually when it’s a popular challenge going on in the community and he finds a really funny way to cheese it.
Me struggling to micro 6 units watching this 🫠
Why does he not have lightning strike?????
47k cash from that battle, nice!
114 battles and 98 auto resolved???
God I miss the 'later fuckers'
Kinstrife! Always a great time!
To comment on weird AI behavior, on normal battle difficulty, yesterday I had an Ork AI army that far outclassed the vampire settlement garrison attack, and do *nothing*. It was a field battle, I took a defensive position with the skellies where most were hidden, but my bats were toolin around. The AI stood in the field, did no shoot the bats with their artillery, and just ran down the clock. Heroic victory no casualties on either side.
About to start watching, I know it's gonna be great solely because the Chill of Sontar & The Siren of Red Ruin, two of my fave RoRs, are both here
I personally would still launch the attack, this battle was amazing 🤩🤩😍🤩....
Is there any chance I can get the save file I would love to fight it🥰
these crazy big battles are fun
lol TW just put up a Pharaoh trailer
Do a faction mechanic tier list!
I've noticed how in very-hard battle difficulty the AI dodges spells way less than in normal or hard
