 greetings my esteemed supporters I am checking in from Total War Warhammer 2 one of the greatest games of all time shout out to my man Jon from the Czech Republic for gifting me this fine game and as you see before you if you are a fellow Warhammer enjoyer you might see that there's some new artwork greeting us at the new starting page as you see on the left hand side you have some beastmen causing mayhem carnage driven by recentiment recentiment as I mentioned in my two previous videos against the glorious Lizardman as you can see on your right hand side here so we're gonna get into the campaigns I just want to say that I did actually paint some Lizardman the other day you can see them before you right now quite aesthetic if I may be so bold let me know in the comment section if I may actually be so bold if they are supremely aesthetic that's for a game called Warhammer Underworlds so it's a miniature game really good one of the best games I've ever played I will make a separate video on it so anyway let's get into the campaign at hand I go with the Eye of the Vortex so we have three new characters we have first and foremost a chameleon skink so that's sort of a scout skink and if you don't know the Lizardman here they are based on Central American civilizations so Aztecs and Mayans but these Lizardmen they are a bit nicer than the actual Aztecs were so they are good guys in this game so anyway we could play with this guy has a lot of different faction effects I'm not gonna go through them I will have a look at the his nemesis then who should be the brass bull Tauroks so it's a massive minotaur covered in brass I can guess that he is quite high thumos high testosterone beast of course as I might have mentioned at some previous stage minotaur is my favorite mythological creature to create when I was five or six and we visited the Knossos so ever since then I've had a minotaur as my primordial beast totem creature something like that at least so anyway he has a lot of different cool effects here and yeah I haven't played this yet so I'm not quite sure how he works but we have a third individual master of the weapon shops master of the weapon shops Thoric iron brow so these are quite similar to the dwarves you would see in Lord of the Rings so Gimli and those lads the exception here though is that these laddingtons here in Warhammer they also have access to gunpowder so they can have a lot of cool gunpowder units and you see here he also has a whole host of different special effects so we're gonna get straight into the game with one of these new heroes and I think I will actually go with Thoric Iron Brow it's quite hot here in Sweden I have taken a full scoop of Varolus Bryggd I'm gonna go out in Nature soon do some calisthenics some chins and dips and go for a walk but before I begin to do so and before I before the Varolus Bryggd kicks in I will just have a quick look at these dwarves so we're gonna get straight into it and as you can see I am an enjoyer here so I always play on legendary on a campaign difficulty and battle difficulty hard so yeah suitable climate jungle and since it feels like a jungle here where I'm checking in from I think it's only reasonable so let's get into it powerful and ancient relics of the ancestors I like that I like the sound of it Sturres something primordial within me good times good times false the lion in these strange mountains this forsaken continent may be where the purpose of my journey is fulfilled if the old text be true a trove of ancient dowry artifacts lays buried somewhere near hidden amidst these strange forgotten ruins of centuries past this land could hold the key to restoring the proud legacy of our people in King Cazador's name I will unearth the lost relics of our ancestors and bring glory to the dowry once more that sounds quite good quite good indeed it sounds like something I could have said if we had some ancient relics on earth here in good old Scandinavia I would do it to bring honour and glory so we have Gotri Grimason and I will embed him in this army there we can attack Nostril Damnus so I suppose that's a reference to the prophet Nostradamus so yeah we're gonna do it we're gonna see if we can get a nice battle in here okay so this is actually a new feature in the game out-resolve outcome battle result Pyrrhic victory casualties medium but I will actually take the battle manually since yeah since it's a let's play video and you can see the nice landscape here as well getting into the jungle feels good times good times so I have some runes and banners here adds explosive damage that reduce enemy leadership boom we're gonna put it on our grudge thrower and bonus against Lodge we're gonna put them on these long beards and now we're gonna fight so we are in the battle and I will deploy my little army here so I'm just gonna go through our units there first have some quarrelers so crossbowmen two units which we'll have to use in a good manner so you can see the enemy they outnumber us quite a bit so we need to be intelligent about our unit deployment then we have of course a few units of infantry and a grudge thrower unit so catapults and then we have our main guy here Thoric Iron Brow and a support specialist who I suppose can cast magic to bolster our other units so since we do have a long range unit we can actually deploy a bit further back here so we can get off more volleys before they come at us so yeah they can get tired coming up to us and we'll meet them with our units here so we're just gonna place them here in a nice defensive position something like that and then our quarrelers they will have a forward position and then I will move them back so now we're ready to start the battle and as is my custom when making these total war videos which I have made since 2014 imagine that I will use a few edits here and there and fast forward a bit like I'm doing now in order to speed things up a bit so now we can see that our grudge throwers have began the bombardment so we're gonna target their most dangerous troops which I suppose would be the poisoned wind glue body heirs and it's already doing it which is nice or we could target these guys in case it misses it might hit the scaven slave slingers back here so anyway good thing that I deployed a bit further back here so we can get a nice few shots off so you see this bar here the light brown one it's the amount of ammunition you have so still have quite a bit of ammunition and now our quarrelers have begun shooting as well good times, good times and what we could do is try to focus on one enemy unit so that they might break and flee hopefully they will break and flee any moment now you can see their leadership is the grey bar here but alas it doesn't quite look like we... we can do it oh well now we have to engage all of our melee troops still hopefully we can defend the grudge thrower so it can continue to shoot so it doesn't get engaged in combat so I'm using some magic here or rune magic on our troops to bolster their armor and of course these two heroes Thorik and Gotri they need to get into combat ASAP and now as you can see our crossbowmen they are getting into a nice flanking position here and they can shoot these scaven slaves in the back which is highly optimal so now you can see their wavering the scaven slaves not the best, not the most formidable enemies fortunately for us so casting the rune of speed here the clans unite and now you can see our nice flanking manoeuvre here shooting these bustage in the back now you can see our grudge throwers they're still firing away so it's important to protect your artillery and now you can see here this is the Nostradamus so he needs to die we're attacking their general with both of our heroes so you can see here the jewel here boom, oh he got mugged there good times, good times and if the enemy general dies their entire army will hopefully break and flee it can happen, they will get reduced leadership and there we have won the battle good times, good times so we'll just end here since we can't really chase any of them down and the grudge thrower's ammunition is almost done so end battle a decisive victory for the dwarves of the Pythoric Iron Brow now we have two options we can execute and loot which grants us some oath gold in addition to regular treasury or we can drink to victory which is quite nice it lasts for two turns and gives us some nice boosts to our province but we're actually gonna execute and loot because these are heretical scaven so there we are we have acquired a follower follower gained students glory good times, good times I have also gained perhaps a follower right now that is a student, who knows comment below if you are a student and if you are, you have actually you have given me 10% plus in research rate for my various research projects so anyway, that is a look at the new DLC looks really good and of course as I've said before this is a great game and just looking at the map absorbing the vibes the atmosphere, the ambience of it good stuff, good stuff so anyway, thank you for checking in with me and I will see you in the next video XOXO, BOOM!
