 Greetings laddingtons and welcome back to good old lustria. They have just released another DLC to this absolute masterpiece of a game. So I thought to just make a short let's play video to showcase the Hunt's Marshals expedition and I do this because I believe this game to be one of the best games I've ever played and I do say that because it invokes a certain Certain feeling and it has a certain aesthetics, which are Beneficial to our great cause of becoming forces of nature. So if you see in the background here, you can see the Empire coming in with ships to colonize the new world and on the right side right hand side you see the Verdant unconquered lustria so it's a game that invokes the feeling of epicness heroism and and Adventure so I am a great fan of this game and that's also because I'm a great fan of Warhammer in general And then of course also whenever I make a let's play I get the comment. Why are you making? Gaming videos. Well, that's because I believe gaming to be an absolutely brilliant way to Portray culture and to partake in a story and to get some inspiration And of course as I always say if you do game if you're a gamer be sure to game in moderation and because and be short only game when you have Taking care of the business for the day so if you have been to the gym if you've done your other work you can Relax unwind a bit and there is absolutely not a single soul in the world who can do work 24 7 everyone needs downtime and I believe gaming to be a good way to have some downtime to relax to recharge your batteries, so Keep that in mind Anyway, we have in this particular DLC. We have Marcus Wolfhardt nice name, of course and we also have another Mad cunt, which is called Nikai the Wanderer Now we will play as Marcus in this DLC But I thought to show this absolute unit. Look how juicy he is. He has not been skipping Deadlift today as you can see on his So anyway back to The monstrous shall be slain so we have an initial challenge of hard Which is which is fine and then some different bonuses primarily to Ambushing and an upkeep for archers, so I will play on legendary And battle hard. I think that's a good a good mix for a challenging Gameplay and I'll see if I will make more episodes on this This is mostly to showcase the game and to show this new DLC so let's get in to the game itself The jungle continent of Lustria lies west across the great ocean The first men to land upon these shores ransacked an ancient temple Filling their ships with golden treasures Words spread of their wealth and others were eager to follow Fueled by greed Men of the Empire ventured deeper into the jungle's heart The land of beasts Ravaged and plundered for its riches It Will not be without Consequence the jungle stares a cold-blooded fury rising to punish the invaders In the temple cities of Lustria the lizard men enact a ritual To call upon their mighty guardian for the wanderer Rome's Lustria once more The spirit of the jungle made manifest Reckoning has come Only the strongest will survive the coming bloodshed So yes, that's exactly what I mean with the aesthetics and the Feel to the game. I don't know if you feel the same when watching stuff like this Maybe I'm biased because I've always been a great warhammer fan But I do believe if you can draw inspiration from this type of settings. It's It's definitely a great thing so Yeah, I will do Glorious session after recording this and it will probably be at some sort of outdoor gym and it will be then to perform a 100 chin-ups infested continent and plunder it for the treasures it holds The near unimaginable wealth of these lands is dispatched home through the coastal colonies But recent raids by the lizard beasts have set the Empire back And I expect further attacks other enemies loom nearby Savage orcs no less who raid nearby abandoned cities These ancient places are sure to harbor more riches. So our prime locations for colonization But we must be aware that the lizard beasts dominate these jungles for our colonies to survive their threat Reinforcements will be needed from home The time of opportunity is now Lusty around its dangers await Anything that stands before me in the hope of defeating the Empire will meet its end by my bow It is the Emperor's will All right, as I said peak optics peak aesthetics, and if you want to look at Yeah peak Aesthetics man you can look at the Emperor Karl of France In this game also. So anyway, let's see what the crack is. We have how they play and also when I say the crack It's an Irish saying. It's basically saying what's what's fun. What's going on or what's up? So the crack is that the Emperor's mandate sent to the shores of lustria by imperial mandate Marcus will fart intends to protect the new world colonies from their lustriant predators With only limited supplies and troop numbers as further Reinforcements will not arrive from the old world for quite some time Okay, but we can get more things if we Do glorious things The beasts of this land must be removed if our colonies are to flourish The first blow must be swift and lethal It is vital. We act quickly before these monsters can move against us All right, we need to remove these monsters we have very Drury and it's I think it might actually be a halfling a hobbit that particular gentleman All right, let's get into The game itself then we're gonna first and foremost which I usually do when I play this game Look at the diplomacy see if we can initiate trade with someone and we have all the Lisbon factions Do not like us in the least then we have some Norsemen The Sterexon of the cool he doesn't like us either Can't trade these guys We have New World Colonies Helmut Nussbacher and this is An imperial as well, so he will probably want to be our friends can see if we want to be in defensive alliance as well Huh, how about just a trade agreement? Nice now we have increased our Income as always a nice thing and then we have Vampire coasts Mutineers do you want to trade with me? We'll probably not but we can have a Non-aggression pact and what happens now is that the longer we have a treaty with these guys? The more likely it is that we can have a trade agreement later on So now that's done. We have increased our income just a bit and we're gonna see We have a little army and We have a I don't know exactly what might be a feral pastel on can be quite hard to deal with But we do have a good good setup here as well What is the most reasonable to do in my humble opinion is to? recruit some units and we'll go with a Archer's I suppose Dun dun dun because we have some infantry to hold the line and Since he had some bonuses for archers. We're gonna focus on that and then of course temple of Tlecan Let's see if we actually need this building We can't really build anything else. So I suppose that will have to be the first step And then the technology Queen here mass produced small ammunition so 10% plus ammunition for all of our ranged Ladding tons Then we have colonial library like the different And things here colonial factors hunting advances recruit rank plus two for all imperial supplies units can be good too and See bone logistics, right? So we have some Different things here that might be good Let's actually go with this one missiles. So we Come a bit better in in battle I suppose and then we'll take the turn see what happens in the next Turn here, maybe they will actually Attack us and we have a battle on our hand in this episode Yes, we do have a battle and yeah, let's get into it Let's get this done and Yeah, we have some Some archers one two units then we have a war wagon missile chariot Haven't seen this before. It's a new addition to the game. Then of course Marcus himself Will be nice to see in action all right, we are in the battle and We will start by deploying This mad cunts about there Including our gallant Marcus wolf heart Which will then hopefully bring the listen when coming up to face them Which means that we can have these shooting them in the flank and The Empire and yours. Let's have a look at this. Oh, that's that's quite cool aesthetic barding on the horses as well. So a war wagon full of Full of ladding tones ready to shoot And we'll just keep our infantry there, I suppose And boom, let's start the battle And See what this lizard men might bring to the table. So we have the feral Bastilla don't Bastilla don't say it. I suppose Which might be a problem? So we'll have to keep our spearmen to fight off that That unit We also have a focused shot, which is a magic missile. So we're gonna shoot this This monster with this special shot. See what happens Boom. All right. Yeah, that's good enough Right, so they are coming to watch our archers I have to pull them back so they don't get into melee combat that wouldn't be Good at all Now, let's see. Yes, that's good. So we're Slowly but surely getting the HP down upon this This unit maybe we can actually engage our spearmen to deal with it as well and Right, let's see what's happening here Get this away from combat as well and no spearmen you were not supposed to engage there See if I can get them to break loose So we can engage the Bastilla don't right. We have routed this skin cohort nice And right if I'm not that talkative, it's because I'm Desperately trying to focus Winning this important battle Okay, if you can just break out there, I would be happy I think we can actually charge in to melee with these guys Boom. Yes, we could Good stuff. Good stuff Let's shoot this Where is it's there is the Bastilla don all right spearmen I encourage you to cut this Monster down and I have Skirmish mode on this. I suppose we don't really need to cause I think Marcus can Can take on Karak in single combat. I'm not quite sure though, but we'll see epic Let's see how things fare up here Yes, and I'm completely correct in assuming that Marcus will deal with this monster here Looks like quite a mad cunt though The enemy there. No, our war wagon has Has routed but yeah, they have rallied and I suppose this looks quite Quite good for us See if we can get away another shot here from our magic bow boom killing blow nice Well done Marcus Well done indeed Right, so I do believe we have this battle They are fleeing and yes, we do Do that will have to be a good and satisfactory conclusion to this episode I suppose so not the longest of Let's play videos, but again, I just want to mainly actually show you that intro because I was the first time I saw it, but I Suspected it was going to be great, which which it was Since it is autumn I will make more let's plays of some sort of game because that's How autumns should be and I know they are somewhat appreciated at least when it's getting a bit darker outside So do let me know if there is any particular game you would like me to make let's plays of and it will kill these Captives so they retreat there and we can recruit some more units. I'm just gonna take this This turn before I check out Right last thing is going to see What fun things focused shot cool down Boom, let's go with that. All right. Thank you for watching and I wish you all a Great weekend ahead xoxo boom
