 Hello lads, I have been spending my entire day in Photoshop and Word doing some supplement labels so I thought to take a much needed break and fortunately for me and for you it has been a release of the Vampire Coast DLC so I have been quite excited for this to be perfectly honest I will admit that to myself and to you that have been excited for a DLC. I will see to this very fine game now obviously I have been talking highly of this game before and I will say so again it's an absolute masterpiece and I thought to before we get into the actual campaign we are just going to look through the new factions. I already decided upon which faction to play but we are going to look through the Vampire Coast Mad Cunts first so Luther Harkon first and foremost. Quite aesthetic weaponshielder and infamy and loyalty, pirate coves, gain infamy and leech wealth from unsuspecting settlement owners where these hideouts have been formed. Ok, so that's actually a quite cool thing I suppose that could be nice and Count Noctilus epic name if anything. So I didn't actually play Dreadfleet the board game when it came out but I know at least that it's from there and Aranesa Salt Spite looks like a war dance or something. Not familiar with this character actually but it looks like she doesn't like my kind she doesn't like Norsegan tribes at all income from raiding plus 50% ok so chance of finding treasure maps. Oh right I think this is something new as well in this DLC so that might be a cool feature to check out. And then lastly we have a bulk bra woman, some sort of Bretonian undead, I like that the singing. So anyway enough about that, the campaign I thought to start is with Lukir Fellhardt. Now obviously I was hoping for this DLC to have Molly's Darkblade because you all know that I've read the books. It was quite some time since I read the books so if I had read it today I might have not liked it as much because in retrospect he was quite gruesome in the books to say the least. What I like with the books is at least that he is setting the pace high throughout the entire book series and just keeps pushing the pace and being an overall high testosterone, high thumos and high energy mad cunt. But this guy obviously highly aesthetics well and then I like the dark elves in the lore of Warhammer. So he starts with some black arc caussers, absolutely aesthetic units. I actually had quite a few of these models back in the day but I sold my dark elf army. Feral Manticore, right that sounds high testosterone also. Income from slave pens and slave markets, okay that's good because then we can capture a lot of slaves and have them work in our industries. And upkeep reduction for black arc caussers, absolutely great. So anyway I've been talking enough I suppose so we're just gonna legendary, we will not go with legendary. That was the last campaign I played which was with crone hellebron, really nice campaign. I played that during the summer when I also needed much needed breaks from designing things. So anyway we're gonna go with very hard which is my standard difficulty settings for total war. Anyway let's get on with it, boom. Death was reborn, king. And in his shadow, legions raised. Decades of civil war followed. Then Malakith embarked on the most ruthless of plans. His sorcerers would unbind the magic of the great vortex. Created by Calador dragon tamer and his elvin mages. The vortex siphons the winds of magic keeping the demon tied at bay. Malakith's spell was flung at the vortex. But Calador himself broke through the mists of time to deflect the titanic force back at its casters. The shadow lands were ravaged, sundered. You live, you die. Servants, you amuse me. Petty games. You summoned me, your highness. You bring this witch here. She is well vers in law. She will betray you my son, as all have done. I have her soul, that disrupts the vortex. Whilst it is weak, a prophecy can be fulfilled. Of a king who consumes the heart of Alphuan. My son will take its power. And our vengeance. Find the Oracle. She knows what to do. I am willing to serve, to earn my soul's release. The Tower of Blessed Red rests off the mangrove coast. But I will not linger here, for the jungles are ripe for the pillaging. In the north lies a mass of ancient ruins holding untold treasures and secrets within. Beyond that is a greater prize, one the reptiles claim as the first city. It shall be mine, yet Mathlan urges caution that far inland. The dwarves of these mountains hoard great wealth and shall be stubborn in relinquishing it. Further south lies an infestation of bubonic proportions ready to corrupt any bounty we gain. This firmin must be driven from their nests. But first these accursed reptiles draw my attention. They will bask in so tex gays no more. For I feel a frition of excitement from my corsairs. The kraken lord is on the hunt! Highly epic if anything. Ja, jag hoppas att du har ökat den trajlarna, om du inte har sett det innan den märkiga älven Malakith. Jag tror att de är så bra gjort i den här gången. Intro, historia, sättning, saker, som det var. Och, obviousllt, en bonus till den här medkanterna för att säga... Alltså, säga, bebonnig plague-level sickening. Så, ja, en skäven presens av bebonnig plague-level magnitut. Or something like that. Anyway, really epic place to be. I like the sense of being here in the jungle on search for plunder. So, obviously first time I am playing this particular... I am not content with my current renown. The completion of this task will earn me the respect and admiration of all. Even the witch king himself. A most worthy cause to serve your king loyally and to seek the respect and admiration of your peers. Definitely a good message. Capture and occupy a settlement belonging to the following faction, sudden sentinels. All right, how about this one? Might be a good idea. Perhaps we should actually recruit some units before we go on the offensive there. We see upkeep is definitely lowered there. Aha, we're standing in enemy territory. I suppose that's why we can't recruit anything. So we're gonna go back and... Boom, boom, and there we are. And then we can get at them. See if we can build something fun. We can request additional slaves though. Even though we haven't really... We don't have any slaves yet. We can also research some sort of... Okay, this is always good. Battle as business. Income from post-battle loot, plus 10%. Always a good idea. We're gonna check diplomacy and see if we can... Do something fun here. Plansbitter. Do you want to trade with me? No, do you want a non-aggression pact maybe? Well, thank you. Court of Libaras. Aha, okay. I would want to trade with you, but you don't seem eager at all. So we're just gonna go with a non-aggression pact. All right, let's take the turn. And then see what the crack is. So speaking of nothing at all, I have... Since I've gone off coffee, something I will elaborate on in a coming separate video. But I've gone off coffee, so I've started drinking tea every once in a while. Not the same extent as I drank coffee before, but drinking some tea. And now I'm currently sipping on some orange Roybos. I must say that it's rather delicious. So if you happen to stumble upon orange Roybos, you can definitely try it out. All right, let's see what these guys might do. So they are recruiting at least. And what can we do here? If we can place this there, boom, that's good. Because now we see this area can be used to reinforce this guy. So we're actually just going to try to sacrifice them to Mathlan. Okay, that's good. And Mathlan is the sea god. I got a quick save in case I completely mess up. So here are the spells that are being bestowed upon us via the black arc. So this should be a quite good battle to do in this particular episode. All right, we are in the battle and it's going to start now. And we're just going to charge down this unfortunate... ...but brave, I must admit, Lisetman. And then we can form up an OBC. Perhaps we should hurry up to this high ground, otherwise they can... No, actually, we can form a line here since we have the missile advantage. I would assume, at least, so then they can come to us. I think that's a reasonable course of action. And there's our feral manticore. Oh, and he is actually getting... He's getting wrecked by this sore old blood. Dreaded dualist. Okay, let's perhaps utilize that. All right, let's disengage you. And I miscalculated that just a bit. Now let's see. You can actually head into those lads immediately. And we can utilize this dreaded dualist thing. Boom, there we go. The dreaded arc. That is aiding us. And now we have Sky Cauldron, can be placed there, I suppose. And now what we see what I want to do is to get behind these units with my missile. And this was badly timed by me because now they have the high ground there. Thus gaining a, I think, this way in this game as well. I get a bonus for being on the high ground. Okay, our feral manticore, he is doing good work there. Must definitely give him that. And now let us see. These guys, they have insulted Mothlan and need to be illuminated. Aha, this... Ah, he's rallied, that's not good at all. That is not good in the least, I can tell you that much. Hopefully the dreaded dualist here can redeem this situation. Okay, so we have to restructure. Aha, so our gallant lord is... Is currently running away, that's not particularly what I wanted to see here. But it is what it is, I suppose. Oh, this is rather embarrassing getting beat in this very opening sequence of this let's play campaign. How blasphemous. Okay, so Loki must do everything he can to survive, and we do have our manticore bra. We can hopefully help Loki over there. Okay, so we have these old bloods who are wreaking chaos and mayhem in our troops. Maybe we can shoot them so that they will run away, I don't know. Okay, epic. Our gallant leader here has broken, routed these guys. Okay, it actually looks quite good. Boom, there we are. Absolutely, an absolute relief, a puric victory. So a good start after all. It looked quite bleak there for a moment, but fortunately Loki rallied and could come back to polster his troops. The kraken lord always wins. We must fill the slave decks. We must fill the slave decks. Actually it's the only reasonable course of action. And now the question remains. If we can actually... Ah, perfect. Then we just do like that. And our manticore just survived. That's good to see. Loot and occupy. Hmm, that sounds like a reasonable course of action. In doing so, delay my tribute to Malakith. While the witch king doesn't intimidate me as he does my other kin, I cannot afford his ire. The cold bloods are in my way and so must be removed. Perfekt. Corsair conquest. All right, then I will just look through what kind of fun things this guy has on here. Okay, so it's basically the regular things up until we get to these sort of things. They look patriarch of the fell hearts. Epic. I'm gonna go with root marcher as it is right now. And we can demolish this and build something fun. And then we can repair this. And I suppose upgrade this one. All right, that will have to be this episode. And if you have watched this far, comment. We must sacrifice George Soros to Matalan. Comment that below if you have watched this far. So anyway, have a glorious rest of your evening or day. XOXO, boom!
