 Greetings, laddingtons. I am back. I'm back from a week under a severe bubonic plague, man cold, but yeah, I'm feeling a bit better now, and I thought to get back to the video production by getting into good old Warhammer Total War 2, because we have a new DLC, which I talked about In the recent forest video log I talked about Malus Darkblade if you haven't already Checked that out. I encourage you to do it. Just search on my channel for Malus Darkblade or yeah, it's like two videos In the latest Playlist so you can check it out so you know who Malus Darkblade is so you get a good feel for the books, etc So as you can see we have a new epic Background here. Unfortunately, I showed in a recent video log Titled snow at last, but it started raining the day after so we We do not have snow in middle Scandinavia now, but we have a snow here at least so it's something I suppose Anyway, let's get into the campaign Also again, thank you to Jon for gifting this fine DLC to me Most heartfelt gift so first and foremost you can see here They have a new art for each character. So you see Tyrion here is looking much more aesthetic than he did before same thing with Alith Anar so a very good job on this And now who is this mad cunt you might ask son of heart grief Malus Darkblade here. He is the man Himself the man of the hour So what do we have here? Yes starting position apparently here down in the sea of dread Even though his hometown is up Willing nagaroth in a hog griff, but I'm sure we can get there eventually So initial challenge hard Yeah, it's it's good an extra challenge Then I will play on legendary because I've played enough of this to be yet to want the strategic challenge But I don't know if I will actually make a series on this or if you if I will just make a video An overview of it having a look at it. So basically a lot of different Traits here is possessed by the demon at Sarkhan as I mentioned in the book review slash forest video log Allied with the witch king Himself here is the witch king Malekith for those of you who are not aware and Yeah extra income from mines always good I suppose and Then Cheaper cold one knights and chariotch Good stuff good stuff. So I suppose we'll just get in to it Once more the drinker of worlds was loose Yet in a twist of fate Sarkhan's liberator became only another cage Raging at their undesired bond demon and host enact vengeance upon this world All shudder save for the Skaven Deep in their under empire Noisome warlords plot to seize this hell sent The Asian master assassin must hunt it down Else lose his nightlords capricious favor a fate every Skaven fears So snitches poison blades will find their target whomever it may be The witch king knows well where Sarkhan lurks for its host dances to his Jew Malekith promises the elixir to subjugate the demon shade if the fable scrolls of her party a first brought to him Sarkhan's possession has cost Malice dark blade dearly He cannot refuse To the rat infested Southlands. He must go rat deathmaster and Drukey tyrant bound for battle, but neither knowing it yet All the world will quail When shadow meets play Though had grief remains under my control the witch king has dispatched me here To gather the scrolls of her cartes I must quieten my mind and let nothing distract me Just off these shores a black arc stands ready to unleash Devastation upon my enemies here and across the waters in the Southlands The jungles and mountains of this place appear to house many sites of arcane power I shall harness them for my lord Malekith and he will grant me what was promised Demon curb your thirst for souls the answer are mine to annihilate The islands will not protect them My Affliction is both a terrible curse and an immeasurable source of power But soon, I will have greater control I will do what I must to ensure that I return to Nagaroth in triumph all right another epic introduction by Very cool and soothing voice the narrator has and Not this particular malice, but the guy in the introduction sequences always very well done And it's a cool artwork as well there. I think one of those shots will be thumbnail for this video and as I said in a recent video on Warhammer they are bringing back the old world and this what we see here is actually the old world so it's highly joyous for all true Warhammer Brass and This particular mission is actually an addition to the story of Malice Darkblade so to speak So this isn't part of the books, but I really like that they can use This opportunity with this game to yeah tell another Malice Darkblade story So let's look at How they play here Okay, so we need to take elixirs That is noted so yes, of course Enemies Yes, so as I was going to say the Dark Elves and High Elves are bitter enemies and Their rivalry continues on even in the colonies So up here we have an elixir and it costs us six hundred to I suppose regain control of ourselves so Yes, some different gameplay mechanics there if we Let him have too much of Say the demon inside so They'd also made an update to the Black orcs, so apparently this guy can level and stuff and you can also attack Coastal settlements, so what I will do I will keep this Episode quite short because this is just an overview and you might ask why do I not make let's place on Total war. Yes, it's because total war is more of an acquired taste as opposed to As opposed to Assassin's Creed where you can get into the game and you understand the game more at once so I want to continue on the Assassin's Creed unity, let's play when we are in Paris and running around there So I think it's more easily accessible for most subscribers to to watch That's why I want to continue there and then as a celebration of a hitting a hundred thousand subscribers I want to play the Witcher 3 and that's also a very good game to showcase the power of gaming in a good way that you can show European folklore in a very attractive way, so Malarnur is also a new sort of Character he's a beast master, so that being said I will just Get into battle here against I'm on there. I don't think it will be any Any problem here at all Actually, it's going to put him there and Put him in there, and then we charge Okay, so we don't get any support here except that we have the Soul Rain, Sky Cauldron and King's Lash But I do believe we should be able to have this anyway So let's get into the battle Right we are in the battle and also I forgot to mention that we do have one last episode on the H. Vampires 2 definitive edition Vlad campaign That I will do before Doing the witcher, so yeah a lot of gaming as of late, but worry not. I have some regular videos Incoming as well. It's just that again. I've been Sick in the public plague, so I haven't really been able to do any videos Now let me concentrate here on Winning this battle. So here we have a new unit in Medusa that is straight from Greek myth and Hopefully no, they are not targeting her They are some Illyrian archers They are you standing there getting absolutely wrecked by our Dark shards here, then we also do have cold ones and Ha, these are not cold one chariots. These are Scourge runner chariots. We will actually place you over there so we can flank and then I suppose Keep the cold one Cavalry there too, so we can get around the high elves are quite good in close combat and also on Well at range since they have so many Missile units, but we'll try to Make the most out of this situation So here we have Sarkan lord ability, but I don't want him to get overly possessed, so And these mad guns they charged in directly. I'm not sure why Since they're light cavalry and they will get wrecked and now hopefully the blood prize. Okay, so he can do a Few different things there. Okay, so here I can't charge in There unfortunately and They're absolutely wrecking us not good Not good at all, but It is what it is. So you see here. I can't charge in because they have Pikes or spears But I need to charge in because otherwise they will get shot to bits right letting tons get back into the action and I will have to disengage with my My dark charge so they don't get stuck into close combat Ha or Medusa has gotten Trapped there and our cold ones Worst unit ever they charge and they get routed by some Normie Modern seagod Absolutely blasphemous if anything and here on the right-hand side I have some magic from the black arc So the dilemma I have here is the blood price. I think I will actually do it Even though it might cause Sarkand to have more Influence over me, but it will have to be worth it Because I need to win this battle. All right. I utilized a little edit there so we can get Closer to the conclusion of the battle and we're out on thin ice So to pay the blood price again so we can kill Amon here it is The only course of action the only reasonable course of action. I mean of course then we can actually Invoked Sarkand and then health and fatigue are Restored so that is one option we do have Could do it if I feel the need for it but It is looking quite good. Anyway, okay victory good What's the tight one? I was a bit unsure I would actually Do it, but the superior skill of moles directly there Okay, what's the victory so yeah There we are Purik victory boom and We will of course occupy it We could loot and occupy that would be what mollus would have done, but I don't want to damage any buildings, so We gained a banner there as well, which we use Okay, hostile takeover The wealthiest dreadlord of Hargrief sends you a large sum To bribe you into giving up on your drachau position The money would certainly be useful and boost your treasury considerably as It is currently almost empty Once the mission for Malakith is complete taking back what is yours should not pose much of a problem however, the minds of Hargrief could Keep the expedition running for some time yet. Okay, so we're being presented with a dilemma here So give up on Hargrief And focus on the expedition as a 50 in growth for five turns and 20,000 plus in treasury and that's quite a bit We could exile this filth everything under control Okay This is a hard question indeed, but I do believe we will take the money And then come back and kill the usurper once we get back to Nagaroth. So boom take the money Okay, so This bar shows how much influence Tzarkan has over Malus so good Okay, we must drink elixirs to keep the demon at bay Aha and Tzarkan can give us some missions there as well So it seems that they have Making you unmatched on the battlefield However, your commanders and warriors are more distrustful of you Resulting in reduced loyalty and troop replenishment By taking the elixir you can reduce possession and increase your control Right so we can take an elixir there and Yes, I was just going to say finishing up this episode That they have made a very good job of it as far as I can see With a lot of new gameplay mechanics and really put in effort into the story So yeah, just by playing this far. I can definitely say it's a good addition And they're having some back-and-forth bants there as they have in a book. I might add Good times good times. So anyway, I will just leave it at that and and Call it a day, but thank you for watching and tomorrow back on regular video making routine so look forward to that and Lastly, I do have written an article on Some new releases for legio gloria. So it's available at the golden one dot s e Link in the description So now xoxo boo
