"They don't have any other harpies, except this one right here." Points to the biggest harpy I have ever seen.
Is anyone else constantly dumbfounded with Legend? It's like he could write The Art of Total War.
Almost underselling him, he could more than write the book.
Strategem 1: CHEESE FOR THE CHEESE GOD
Split forces hide forces kite
yes yes, the rat of total war
I want him to fix world politics at this point
"Theres no right or wrong here, BUT YOU'RE WRONG!"
XD
Legend: There's no right or wrong way with these things.. but this is wrong.
Goddamn this was a tense one. The best of these battles is when Legend is forced to improvise, and the AI made that happen by using Shades to locate his army. He really wasn't expecting that lol.
At this point its fair to say that the AI is getting programmed to beat Legend.
The “But Legend!” for the anticipated critiques is itself now a legend lol.
That lord on dragon created more problems for legend than the army lmao
Hi legend this battle was sent from me. Props on the victory very well done, I forgot to say that both of the handmaidens had the resistant trait so that definitely helped. The reasoning for me for choosing blood and fire Is because of the plus 6 melee defence for the whole army instead of just plus 10 for sisters, the ward save, replenishment, upkeep cost, and more magic.
Legend: "They're attacking me from 3 sides. I've got them right where I want them".
I know he’s always been legend but I swear his skill has been increasing exponentially in recent years
Agreed. He didn't notice his sisters being discovered though :)
That's true, ive exhausted Legends modern videos so older WH2 ones have been on my feed, can definitely notice a skill difference. WAY less cheese these days too (sad).
In hindsight I think using 1 use of the heal on the heroes while the lord chased Alarielle could've given him the space to send them earlier to use the nets/support the army and potentially keep the Silverin longer, he might've fallen prey to the gamers curse: to save a skill/item to use at the perceived max value, ends up over complicating and either not using optimally or not using at all😂
Especially since he pretty much wasted the second one at 29:30 when he made Alarielle and the handmaiden run out of the circle
Honestly, what I would have done was instead of using tempest on the lord twice, use 4 earth bloods on Alarielle and the heroes it costs the same winds, but gives a better balance swing than the tempests.
@@squashiejoshie200000better yet, make alarielle land near the heroes so the chasing lord get smashed from at least three side especially since the heroes are anti large and in doing that, pop down the star of avelorn and earth blood at the same time. that eventually saves time for other things to do like saving some of the silverin guards
yeah, I agree but I only say his hindsight cuz I'd have to do this battle like 3 times to actually notice that while macroing 😂
hindsight
4 armies vs 1...Solid Legendary battle for sure!
legend casually confederates Tyrion. Classic.
I am astonished he had enough ammunition for that many enemies
Hide army, blast with magic? WH2 Legend has returned!
honestly a masterclass well done legend
I'm stunned by how much damage a single unit of regular harpies was able to do to Alarielle...
Also, I can't imagine playing Avelorn and *not* building galleries in every single province. The handmaiden cap you get from it is absurd considering they're such powerful heroes, and it tanks the global recruit time for sisters too...
10:45 Chicken!
31:27 Chicken!
Also, the harpy was in that position not to search the army but just the AI repositioning itself as a line towards the visible enemies
People really need to stop force-marching near enemy territory, it hits like crazy on the AR. If instead went with encamp stance i bet that would've been a victory AR
Why would you AR a 4 army battle anyway though? It will severely damage your army and slow down your campaign (even in total playtime since the 1 hour you spend fighting the battle will save you many more hours you ll spend on future enemies which got ahead on the campaign map while you were dealing with that one enemy since you d be stuck replenishing your troops after the AR, which would give time to your enemy to somewhat build half an army, which will damage your army again when you conquer his last settlement and make you waste further time replenishing instead of snowballing.)
My favorite vid from him so far this year, and a fantastic enemy stack(s) to try and copy someday...even if I find the complete lack of Medusae, Hydras and non-Sorceress Heroes head-scratching
But Legend, giving it your best is cheeeeeese! Everyone knows you have to put no effort in and blame the game when things don't go well. That's what I do.
flying units really got that single target damage :v
12:00 the moment when the harpies managed to discover a bunch of the hidden units; I was a bit surprised how well they ended up doing.
I see Slaanesh sent out its minions early today.
Honestly I welcome them. They are so positive and affirming its really nice having them around tbh.
I asked myself "What this guy is talking about ?". Then I scrolled down. :D
"Alarielle 10/10 battle potential legendary lord"
> loses 2/3 of her health fighting a single unit of worn out harpies
this battle was fantastic to watch man such a banger
Congrats, you just recreated Frederick the Great's Battle of Leuthen.
Auto resolve carried by that staunch line of spears
the best battles on this channel are actually the ones where not everyhting goes according to plan
"looks like this save file is fine!" *-43k gold income*
Great battle, loved the loop around tactic
He was positive 11k until the confederation, so yeah he's in good shape would just have to trim some badly constructed armies and re-spec some lords and heroes
I think the weird AR is because Alarielle is so much higher leveled than their Lord (and also an LL). That gets way overvalued in AR for some reason.
Edit: Also, I like that the AI made the right decision for Tyrion, hah! xD
this is a really good one to be fair.
The fact that they actively chose to boost Forest Spirit units but dont actually have a single Forest Spirit across any of their stacks is deeply amusing for me.
Even with those talents forest spirits are shıt in high elf roster. What are you gonna do, maybe a treeman stack with alarielle? They are not that good without woodelf mechanics/ tech.
Legend, bubbalah, just heal your characters. You don't need *that* much space to heal them. You're playing a healer character.
Like Nike and Shia Lebouef have both said "JUST DO IT!"
Hey legend, do you have any battles that you can show for us where you lost? Like that 90mins battle against Vampires playing Treeman, that was a treat to watch.
But Legend, every elf is precious
I think it's just kind of very funny watching four units of shades stand very close to your handmaidens and just stare at them without doing anything.
I probably would've landed Alarielle around the handmaidens with the supreme sorceress because her melee stats aren't that great on the dragon and the handmaidens have some anti-large even without colossal strike. And could be healing all three while fighting her, with earth blood on top of that. Especially during the time no other enemies were nearby. The one handmaiden just kept getting pecked in the rear and they had some minor spell damage taken. But maybe that's wrong and a handmaiden would've gotten unlucky with taking hits. Just how I would have probably handled those couple minutes the sorceress was so isolated.
I can't believe you won that.
I am so early, the only comments I see are from slanesh cultists
I never understood the hate the Silver Guard got in TW2 and get in TW3. I love that unit. It's very tanky and reasonably priced. Very reliable unit.
They only get hate when people recruit a whole army of them for melee dps. You really don’t need more than 4-5 units of them to hold the line for your real sources of damage in ranged units and magic.
I think it's usually the TW2 experience of melee in general being mid. that carried over to TW3 for a lot of people
In tw2 melee infantry performed extremely poorly on anything above normal battle difficulty so it was mostly best to just pretend they didn't exist unless you could boost them by a ton.
Outside of that, if the main damage dealers of your army are ranged, you only want just enough melee to hold your enemies down and then have as many of the ranged units as possible, and heroes are usually better for that than melee infantry because there will be far less friendly fire if its only a single entity.
Because in TW:WH2, it was far more cost-efficient to just fill that slot with a Sister of Avelorn unit. Very good at holding the line, and does a LOT of damage at range on the approach. Melee units just did not perform well at anything higher than normal battle difficulty.
Is always funny how long a TW3 battle cab get, used to winbor lose super fast 😂
Kinda random but after almost 3k hours in WH3 this is the first time I see this map from this side. Kinda thought that was the standard at this point.
I suspect Alarielle is boosting the autoresolve a lot. Legendary Hero, high level, high level gear. The heroes might not be too shabby either.
Watching the Sisters of Avelorn fire- makes me jealous that Waywatchers don't shoot like that. Or well, they didn't the last time I played them. Feels like they always shot at 1 point in a formation so that 80% of the arrows fired would be wasted.
Sitting here waiting for legend to notice the 7 unspent skill points on the legendary lord💀💀💀
0:30 I wonder if it's because the Black guard don't have shields. I presume auto resolve shields make a significant difference (but I don't really know how it works so I am just guessing here.) And the high elf army has a lot of archers. Or upon reflection maybe it's because much of the army doesn't have shields, I wonder what it would look like if those darkshards were mostly the shield variant.
Yeah the game asseses high elves quite highly for auto resolve relative to how well they do in battles.
Is there a Gorbad immortal empires review??
I have no idea where an appropriate location to ask this question would be. The starting spot kind screams TW2 Grimgor but weaker but I might be wrong, my judge of good Ork bonuses is a terrible
That did not look possible to win. Interesting battle to watch.
"it happens to the best of us" nobody is force marching near enemy settlements without scouting by mistake. It takes a conscious effort to misplay like that.
Ive pulled some bs wins with alarielle, but I dont think i couldve won that one! Good work
The autoresolve is super heavily influenced by the difference in lord level. That’s why it showed valiant.
That's alot of ammo eating chaff even for this army
What happened to the army strength bar? Something related to the fraction?
It's hidden on legendary difficulty
But legend confederation is cheeeeeeeeese
AI Cheats are incredible...a unit of harpies dealing so much damage to Alarielle wtf...
honestly felt like taking distracted legend from the battle so much he messed up many micro that he planned to do, and let’s be honest the harpy did way to much damage to justify the trade
Wait, how did he take control of that army?
staunch line of spears anyone?
without the 12% ward save Alarielle might not have survived so the player levelled her up correctly
12:05 how did you get discovered here?
AI attempted to re-position a unit of Shades up on the hill, as part of its line.
Ran right into Legend's hidden units that the harpies had missed.
Seriously this would have been easier if you just got rid of all silverin guard and added more sisters. They basically have the same melee defense and sisters can pull more damage anyway
But Legend, he was doing a no-confederation campaign!
I read it in Legends voice 😂
Haven’t see allarielle in some time
honestly imo sisters dont do good now they used to be beast in wh 2 they nerfed them too hard in 3
People bitched about them too much
They weren't nerfed, exactly. WH3 in general transitioned from an archer meta to a monster meta, and in fact all archers do worse now. However, some archers were commensurately buffed to make up for this (such as Dragon Crossbows) and some others can be boosted so much by technology and skills that it hardly matters (Shades and Waywatchers). Sisters of Avelorn, unfortunately, belong to neither of these groups.
@@Count.Saruman archers got indirectly nerfed because different things got buffed against archers.
Then there are chaos dwarfs, with many strong units that are resistant to fire, which further punishes sisters.
At least they are better vs dwarfs because magic attack was buffed
@@michasokoowski6651In addition they changed a few things such as projectile impact and knockdown, and added an infamous feature (maybe it's a bug) that archers just don't respond to orders without a huge lag anymore, so they are not as effective across the board. Powder units still work well, though, and some archers such as Waywatchers can be boosted so much that the changes hardly matter.
@@Count.Saruman their relod time is significantly reduced in 3 I think
Slaneeshi cultists everywhere
And I thought they were his mum.
Sup
Legend is getting sloppy. Could have been won without losses.
