Warhammer 3 Cavalry Only Campaign Part 2 [ENDING]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Other than some pretty insane micro, this campaign was super fun! It took a while to figure out the best strategies against different armies - I tested with lance formation on and off and I found it was best to just leave it on 90% of the time. It only struggles in super extended combat or against large units/other cavalry so saving that bit of micro for more important concerns and leaving it on was way more efficient.
I'm not 100% sure when the Chaos Dwarf campaign will be coming out yet - I do have a few things in the works though including a possible collaboration that could be super fun!

King Pyrrhus sheds a tear of pride.
can you play as Boris Ursus will only using bear rider or only range unit with Tzarina Katarin pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A challenge that you can do with Chaos Dwarfs: ork and goblins slaves only
Or machine only.
after he finishes that one, only dwarf units maybe? depending on how reliant they are on having chaff slaves
@@eddiejohansson8040 it seems the CDorfs have a unit limit on non-slave units
@@baudsp if it's like paesant, shall be a funny challenge.
*Laborers, call it Unionizing campaign or something
Probably been mentioned before, but I really appreciate the editing. You do a good job of giving enough information while also cutting adequately through the content that might be less fun to watch than play yourself. Even with relatively fast paced editing and cuts, I rarely feel disorientated. Really good balance, I'll look forward to your Chaos Dwarfs campaign.
can you play as Boris Ursus will only using bear rider or only range unit with Tzarina Katarin pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The Next could be with only gnoblars
The unwashed hordes
That could actually be pretty strong, gnoblar scrap launcher is no joke
Gnoblar trapperd are actually really good early game
@@endhunter569 I just wish he would use that mod, but that might be a little too easy with a range of them XD
Those were some juicy instant replays! I really like how your editing style - which already was very good - is improving. Also, the campaigns are hilarious. Love the content!

Here are some "X only" ideas that I either did or think it could be fun.
Wurrzag - savage orcs only
Loki - corssairs only
Rakarth - beasts only
Khalida - constructs only
Ikkit - wheels only
Lol the instant replay made me smile
Next up should be chworfs only sla...i mean labourers
involuntary interns
Prisoners with jobs
Hahhaa nice lads
can you play as Boris Ursus will only using bear rider or only range unit with Tzarina Katarin pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@@codelearner383 my brother in christ, we are not BrilliantStupidity
perhaps "Animals/beasts only" might be a fun challenge for a future campaign. Rakath goes on tour with his Great Petting Zoo of doom :3
The mix of classical music as you trample your enemies is just *chef's kiss*.
For the inner monster masher in us all, maybe a run that's all huge, single entity monsters?
He kinda did that with the trolls only run
@@lumberjack7178 True, but I mean stuff like the Mutant Rat Ogres, or an army of Manticores, or Dragons.
@@GusOmega thankyou and I agree I'd love to see him try stuff like them
Giants only... Def a challenge run.
Thanks for putting these out! Just discovered the channel recently and have already burned through the backlog. Keep up the good work! 👍

For what it’s worth, I enjoy the “instant replay” angles. I know it adds extra work to record/edit, but it’s a fun addition! 😄
Sick video, man. The instant replay is a very welcome change it's cool to see the ground view
I love the concept that knights are like the nobility of Brettonia and so the Duke of Bordeleaux literally just kidnapped every noble sun he could, put him in armour and sent them into battle. Must have wiped out half the noble families of brettonia in that one dark elf battle alone
Knights ARE the nobility of Brettonia, literally
Always happy to see an upload from you, absolutely love your content, your doing amazing
Did you just call those peasants on horses "knights", for shame, for shame.
12:30 You really hit him with the "Hand in your badge and your gun, you're off the force", didn't even let that lord retire with the items he earned. The layoffs are crazy in Bretonnia.
found your channel and have already biinged all your videos in a week. You are killing it man, keep it up
Didn't you want to do a challenge with only irondrakes? Maybe I forgot something but it would be cool to see that ^^
What about Chaos Warhound only campaign?
Watching Chosen fly like that is freaking hilarious! Great vid as always m8.
what i've found for the casualty rating, is that i seems like it's relative to the type of victory you'll have, like a decisive medium casualties would be kinda like pyrrhic victory with low
Tree's only, so Dryads, treekin and treemen, might be the slowest campaign as of yet xD
Love the instant reply, compliments the overall style of the videos.
I wanna see a tree only Campaign at some point, probably post DLC videos that are soooo coming
Please do a Chaos Dwarf challenge campaign! Think of the views if anything. Love your channel man. The TWWH community needed something like this.
We need a harpies only challenge
can you play as Boris Ursus will only using bear rider or only range unit with Tzarina Katarin pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hell yeah, brother.
As an enjoyer of precious Skinkies, I appreciate you siding with the Lizardmen over that vile creature Markus Wulfhart.
Love this content!!! Yeet the enemy in cavalry charges!!!!
These campaign videos are so entertaining, thanks for your hardwork.
Dwarf Miners only? (belagor has insane buffs to them)
Vampire Zombie only? (This could be extremely powerful with Ghorsr).
What I love about your videos is that they make me go and play those campeigns, but without the handicap :)
>Zero peasants were harmed in the making of this campaign. I mean... two smallpox outbreaks are not what I would call "no harm", but ey. Also, sending the Chosen flying was a great part of this one! Ha. Greatly looking forward to the slave uprising against the Chaos Stunties!
Hi
great videos .
can't wait to see more.
would like to see blasting charges only with chos dawies.
Brettonia is my favorite and visibly yours too by seing how their race got 2 vids
2 Ideas for challenges. Drycha Wild Spirits only (Maybe even without Dryads?). And it could be interesting if a Giants only Challenge could work.
A concept i would love to see is a campaign with only a missile unit with the "decent melee combatant" trait. Personally i think quarrelers would be great for this since you have 2 types and high armor on them
not even hybrid units only b/c hybrid units only is _just a kislev run._
What surprised me the most in this campaign that you where able to start building your Tier 5 settlement by turn 41, that is REALLY quick o.O
And he's back to remind me that my macro is on par with a goldfish
Flying units only? Heroes only? Animals only? idk, but I bet whatever you pick, it'll turn out great.
"None of our units got more hurt than our most hurt unit already was."
Look, I know the comment is just me quoting a line from the video, but I think I actually learned something from hearing that.
I don't know if you'll see this, but I like the new "instant replay" shots in your editing. It's a great idea really. I guess you save the replays and get some nice charges.
In my opinion, you should blend it better with the rest of the battle. You cut your own gameplay and voice, it messes up the rhythm of the battle.
You could comment on your replay "IT'S A NICE CHARGE GOOOOAAALL" (sorry) ..
In older videos, you hid the UI sometimes (the leviathan in one of the empire video maybe ???) It was cool, and this game is perfect for that. Warhammer is the best total war for that, the models are so cool
you could also turn up the music maybe, a great charge with classical music ..for example
It's still really cool, and I don't mean to be a d***, just my thoughts
I like all of these suggestions- the only limitation preventing me from doing them is time. If/when I'm able to hire an editor to help me out I'll be able to do all of that and more.
@@BrilliantStupidity ooooh, I'll be looking forward to the day! That would be awesome
@@BrilliantStupidity Thanks for the reply, I appreciated it :) I emailed you some ideas
"Zero peasants were harmed in the making of this campaign" he says, after killing a bunch of peasants in a previous battle.
I'd love to see a hero / commander only challenge. I know it's mental hard, but god it would be interesting, if even possible.
Mod it so you can have as many as you want. It's fair because of their steep price!
After Chaos dwarves, check if short campaign victory is possible anywhere with allies only?
You’re very inspiring, I was planning on making a RUclips channel where I do stupid shit in Tww3 and to say you are convincing me would be an understatement 😊
Do it.
The discard of the pegasus knights actually hurt me
Wow this one was quick
I really like your videos 🤩 they make my week. Pls keep making them ❤❤❤
Didn’t realise you were fly like that he said as a horde of cavalry slams into the enemy line sending them into the stratosphere
no matter what happening at all, just every bretonnian knight in literally any case:
CHAAAAAAAAAAARRRGE11111!!!1
chaos dwarves "laborers" only
I’d love to see a Rakarth campaign where you just use wild animals that would be interesting
have you considered monsters only with Rakarth?
maybe you could do an only slayer campaign? I badly wants to see dwarves on this channel
I’ve played a Bordaleux game; I don’t know if I just got unlucky but I had both Itza and Huntsmarshals allied, then Itza went to war with Huntsmarshals. I had to waste 10+ turns taking out a faction I wanted to be friends with and it yanked my reliability, stopping all diplomacy. So be careful of that if you want to play this campaign.
You should try this again after 3.1, holy f its so much fun.
Can you make tank only in empire
Warhammer Total War is this weird game where you can have giant dinosaurus, dragons, elemental bear spirits, naked elven bdsm warriors or ogres dressed as pirates, but where nothing is nearly as fun as charging everything with bretonnian cavalry.
Ever considered doing wizards only with tecklis or tzeentch? Could certainly present a challenge since it’s hard to recruit a bunch of them and utilizing each lore of magic to its fullest might be fun
13:20 Just sell her a few settlements.
You make the money that you can use to pay for the confederation and get the settlements back.
Love these videos
Only zombies sounds pretty fun
Artillery only
i really liked the video after watching it for second time i wanna suggest you maybe make a video with only zombies with vampires count maybe i think it will be a really good idea
you should try a weapons team only campaign for the skaven
5:40 Instead of pausing to micro the units one by one, you can put them into a group and then lock it by pressing Ctrl+G. When you make an attack move while selecting the group, they'll all attack in a line instead of just the unit you target. At least in WH2 it did that
Slayers only!
I don’t know if this would be challenging or not but maybe one of the daemon factions but only base tier marauders. Like I said might be something but don’t know love the videos keep up the good work
Zombies or vampires only has potential
Do a only trains challenge! :D Choo Choo!
ChaosDwarfs Gobbo only, and you have to take out the Dwarfs
Tier 3 units only would be pretty cool since it will be very difficult in the beginning of the game
You are the best tw RUclipsr
Going to buck the trend here with challenge requests.
Given the unit caps involved, what about chaos dwarfs with only dwarf units?
i swear ai cheese cav with gates, my orc big uns had that happen once to them. Also, norsca with marauder infantry only when? :D
You should take the cav out of wedge formation after the charge.
Next would be only arrows or bears as kislev
The AI in WH 3 seems to be very passive at higher difficulties. Like, if this was Warhammer 2, you'd be at war with a beast tribe, all the lizardmen around you, a couple of skaven clans, and one of the pirate factions.
And all that at turn 10. WH3 seems quite a lot easier than 2...
26:20 you can click on the char icons at the top to level up your heroes without leaving the skill menu
Next could be zombies, gnoblers or only lords and heroes
Can we see a nurgling only campaing please ?
jeepers (creapers)
considering you already did a pumpwagon challenge...HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF AN ARMY OF CHARIOTS OR MONSTROUS CAVALRY? OR BIG SPIDERS?
Werewolf only? 👀👀
Umm, yes. IT CONTINUES!!
22:48 sacking once locks the the trait it just isnt visible, you can think about it like a steam achivement that needs progress (Gaming Rambles made a good video explaining that)
Not sure if it'd be viable for a campaign but what about trying Chaos warriors as a faction? Furies or Warhounds only maybe?
How much mass do those chosen have? I think its not enough :p
How about flying unit (almost) only (gota keep a rando landed for moral) ? im thinking sisters of twilight or tik tak to? iv never really seen anything like that and id love to see you try.
Nurglings only
I think you should do orc laborers only when chaos dwarfs are out😂I bet it would be impossible
I know that you tested Lance formation, but I still don't understand how it could have been better for this style of play. Lance formation is good for if you're constantly cycle charging and not leaving units in melee combat for prolonged periods. It reduces melee defence (MD), and charge bonus (CB) wears off linearly over 15 seconds, so the benefits of lance (bigger charge bonus) are used up quickly, while the drawback is constant. The result is that it's _terrible_ for leaving units in melee combat.
With an all cavalry army you're going to consistently have a lot of units in prolonged melee, and nobody (not even the best players in the world) can micro enough to have that many cavalry units constantly cycle charging and staying out of prolonged melee. It's baffling to me that you got better results leaving lance on all the time, because you'll take far greater casualties for only a relatively small improvement to damage output.
And it is only a small improvement overall, especially when in prolonged melee. With shock cavalry (which is all you used) like that against most infantry, their regular CB is high enough that the boost to their melee attack (MA) and weapon strength (WS) is already enough to wreck infantry with a normal charge. More specifically, the regular CB is going to get most of your shock cavalry to the hit cap and dealing enough damage to one-shot most infantry. For example, your rank 3 Knights Errrant have 29 melee attack, plus 76 CB gives effective MA of 105. Hit chance is (35 + MA - MD)%, capping at 90%. With 105 MA, the Knights Errant are at the hit cap for up to 50 MD when they first connect a charge. It's a similar situation for WS, with the effective "cap" being the HP of the infantry entities.
The 30% extra CB will only help with actual damage dealing against most infantry if the cavalry are being left in prolonged melee since it will let them stay at the hit-chance cap and one-hit-kill level for a little longer, and then will provide a slightly bigger boost to MA and WS after falling below those levels. But due to the linearly decreasing CB over 15 seconds, the extra 30% CB is effectively gone after 4 seconds, at which point the CB will drop to the same level as if you didn't have the Lance bonus, then the rest runs down in the next 11 seconds. Meanwhile the -8 MD penalty remains. So after 4 seconds in melee it no longer positively contributes, and instead is a liability. From the footage you showed, you were consistently leaving units in melee for well over 4 seconds, and commonly past the time when CB expires completely.
That -8 MD makes a huge difference when leaving them in prolonged melee, since whatever they're fighting will have an 8% higher hit chance. For example, the rank 3 Knights errant have MD of 31, or 23 with lance turned on. If an infantry unit has 30 MA, then the hit-chance without Lance is (35+30-31) = 34%, and with Lance is 42%. Divide those hit rates and you find that your cavalry are getting hit about 24% more when using Lance against an infantry with 30 MA. The ratio of how much more they get hit is actually higher for infantry with lower MA. An infantry with 20 MA the values would be 24% without Lance, 32% with Lance, so hitting 33% more against Lance. Infantry with 40 MA it's 44% and 52%, so hitting ~18% more. So bad infantry see a greater relative change in damage output, but they're bad infantry that probably don't deal much damage. Against strong infantry that deal more damage per hit, the 8% higher hit chance can translate to a lot of extra damage. And for things with bonus vs. large giving them even better damage, it definitely made a huge difference, e.g., those polar bears on average effectively did an extra 9 damage per attack attempt from each entity because of Lance (8% higher hit chance x effective WS of 112); over the course of the battle that could easily translate to 1000 extra damage or more.
So what's the net effect? Since you have so many cavalry you can't realistically micro them enough to avoid prolonged melee, and you use them as both hammer and anvil, with the anvil obviously staying in prolonged melee for significant periods of time. Lance effectively only gives a bonus to offensive melee for 4 seconds per charge compared to regular CB, while having a constant defensive debuff. Because they're frequently left in prolonged melee the overall offensive benefit of Lance over the course of a battle is pretty minimal, while the constant defensive debuff can lead to much higher casualties. For example, from the footage you showed I think it's reasonable to guess that many of your cavalry would be in melee for 20-30 seconds or more per charge. In that time they experience an offensive buff for effectively 4 seconds, while having the defensive debuff the entire time. if a particular unit is in melee for 60 seconds, and during the battle does 3 charges, then it experienced an offensive buff for effectively 3x4 = 12 seconds, while experiencing 60 seconds of defensive debuff.
Really, the main benefit of Lance often isn't even the offensive buff to CB. The extra mass, speed, and acceleration are very useful, especially for being able to pull out and come around for another charge. But again, those things aren't useful when in prolonged melee, which is what was consistently happening. Which once again comes back to what I said at the start: The benefits Lance gives are useful for cycle charging, but provide little to no benefit to prolonged melee while also having a serious liability. Which is part of why I can't imagine that always being in lance was overall better. Sure, higher damage output means ending the battle (slightly) faster, and maybe that's why you thought it performed better. But it also meant that you very likely took more damage in that shorter battle, leaving your army in worse shape after every battle, making subsequent battles harder, and thus slowing campaign progress.
The other reason I think it's worse is that when doing testing in custom battles Lance it _is_ worse for prolonged combat. Sure, if you have time to micro for cycle charging then it's better, but if you don't have that time it provides little offensive benefit while leading to noticeably higher damage taken.
I suspect the primary reason Lance seemed better is because of the armies you were fighting most of the time. Most of the armies you fought were either notably smaller than yours, allowing you to overwhelm with numbers, or were comprised primarily of units which your knights just outclass in melee. Against the Skaven and Vampirates your knights outclassed basically all their units in melee and have low leadership. Against the dark elves you often outnumbered them, giving you favourable engagements. Those tougher battles against the dark elves the Lance absolutely made things worse for you, no doubt about it.
Also, you seem to use your cavalry like infantry instead of like cavalry. The benefit of a cavalry army is manoeuvrability, which allows you to run around the enemy, avoid bad engagements, wait for and create good opportunities, exhaust the enemy easily, and pick your engagements only when favourable. You seem to not really use any of that at all, and instead just throw the cavalry into melee (often blobs). In other words, you treat your cavalry as if they're just faster, stronger infantry.
That battle with the 3 dark elf armies at Sentinels of Xeti is the perfect example. You should have not controlled large armies (fewer units on the field make for easier manoeuvring), run around while the enemy gets exhausted chasing you, take out any units that separate from the main force (often faster units) like Rakarth did at the start, move around your cavalry in different groups to different parts of the map to make the AI split up, then when they're sufficiently separated use your superior speed to bring all your units onto a smaller group of their units and use local superiority to crush that group with significantly reduced casualties. Rinse and repeat. If one of your units starts getting too injured, withdraw it from the battlefield to replace with a fresh one. And while you didn't like the map, it actually wasn't that bad. The terrain obstructions could actually be used to your advantage to keep groups of enemies more isolated from each other, while your greater speed makes it less of a problem. They also prevent the enemy from spreading out as much, which benefits you. That's actually a map that I think favours a highly manoeuvrable army like cavalry so long as you know how to take advantage of it.
Those kinds of tactics definitely make a battle take longer, so you need to be patient, but they give vastly superior results. Using those kinds of tactics, I've used single armies that are worse than either of the ones you had in that battle to defeat single armies better than what you faced, or 2 armies each similar in threat. I don't think I'm particularly more skilled than you, I just used better tactics for a highly manoeuvrable cavalry army.
Overall, an entertaining video, but also a great lesson in how _not_ to use cavalry armies.
I pause the game. Often. And play in slow mo. Often. I appreciate the thought put into this, but it was based on a false assumption. Obviously, when I'm recording closeups and shots for the actual video I'm playing in normal speed.
@@BrilliantStupidity Ah, yeah that explains it. Gives you the time to micro them for more cycle charging. I don't understand why there were so many blobs then? Also a bit misleading to your viewers though, since it makes it seem like Lance mode active is better.
I think he needs to do dwaeves slayers only
Kholek only challenge. One man Calvary hit and run
Have you thought about using a mod called Victory Conditions Overhaul for more interesting goals and rewards ?
you can't put a banger like angevin by kevin macleod in your video without me noticing
Next challenge should be Warp Grinders only!
Engagement 👍
