- In this epic Total War Warhammer multiplayer Karak siege battle, the Dwarfs of Clan Angrund and the World's Edge Mountains defend Kraka Ravnsvake, the Raven's Roost, from hordes of the Undead from Mousillon and the Vampire Counts. Belegar Ironhammer and Grombrindal the White Dwarf must defend each plaza and layer of the Karak if they are to survive the overwhelming hordes of the Zangunaz.
Honestly I think this is the coolest, best, and most exciting Dwarf Karak Defense on TH-cam. I hope my commentary lives up to the epicness of the replay!
Here is the fantastic map by Nexxes: steamcommunity...

Huge props to Nexxes for his awesome custom map called Kraka Ravnsvake: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=856147697&searchtext=
And thanks to Takoa, Durin's Son, and Tim the Enchanter for joining me for this battle!
milkandcookiesTW do you have to syncronize mods to get these custom maps to work?
Yeah the auto download isnt working very well, or at all, in the beta for me. Whenever I play custom maps so far I've had people download it from workshop and activate it before we join the lobby
Awesome replay. I'm excited to see what other maps come out.
yeah this brings warhammer too a whole new level
please do more third age content.
Thanks milkandcookiesTW for this epic battle on my map! I'm really glad you liked and I'm hoping there will be more battles for that Karak.
I hope HeirofCarthage plays this map too, it looks stunning.
Thanks for making it!
A Total Warhammer siege battle Replay that is 20 Mins? What Chaos magic is this?
lmao
Honestly Chaos Enthusiast !.
Khorne's. He thought the battles were too short and created the map editor.
PitLord777 you know what they say KILL FOR KHORNE! KILL FOR KHORNE ! KILL FOR KHORNE!
this is how the sieges should have been!
Terry has been out for what, 2-3 days? And we already have awesome maps like this one? Gotta love the Total War community. Great video, battle and commentary as always!
Because that what community wanted, and when they got it - they just exploded with content. Also i think ideas from that maps will be implemented in further Warhammer Total War games/addons.
MegaNever2010 you unleash the potential of the people by jusf giving them the liberty to play aroumd the game, it will most likely improve while giving you a more dedicated group of players and more loyal communities.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it! Yeah the maps I've seen so far have been incredible. Check out the Siege of Talabheim if you havent seen it already :D
Many game companies often underestimate the power of a community to make a game good lol (or improve upon it)
CA probably knows this, though ^^ Along with Bethesda, Firaxis and Paradox.
HAHAHAHA 720 quickscope dopeshot master engineer sending the ghoul king pluming to earth Smoke weed everyday
says the Gangster!
That was a heck of a battle. I love it when games actually get to go on long enough that things like reserves actually become relevant, and niche units like the irondrakes and flame cannons get a real chance to shine. Great stuff :)
Yep, That was what Total war: Warhammer needed.
epic1527 that game still took 6 armies to last 30 minutes, they need to change the values for the units for the ultimate fix.
I think the game length is perfect as it is, in the other total wars, sitting down to play for a while wasnt really an option, as at least i would get bored quickly with how long everything took. I like being able to fight every battle in the campaign on warhammer, on the others it just isnt an option unless you are very patient.
kwazooplayingguardsman the warhammer universe is fast paced lol things just hit so hard.
1/5 of the dwarfs syrvived from the undead horde.
At warhammer we call that a Tuesday.
720 quickscope dome shot...
Indy, I think maybe you should lay off the dank memes. That was all kinds of wrong lol
Haha you liked it ;P
Lol. Smoke weed. Every. Day.
I've never subscribed so fast! you sir, are not only an excellent battle director, but you have a fantastic narration of what's happening.
Undead needed to engage the dwarf units under the wall with a varghulf and some crypt ghouls and sent everything else up to plaza 3. took way too much dmg from arty/missiles...
everything from the presentation, to the commentary, to the battles on this channel are extraordinary. im getting some of my gaming group who have never touched a video game to watch this just to see our minis alive on the field
this is kinda like a movie but in a way more exciting because their is a real chance that the baddies win.
These custom maps are exceeding my expectations big time man.
Yeah theyre awesome
the wight king needs more love.
Im Durin's son, this is epic and I loved it, absolutely enjoyed every dramatic moment of it
Holy shit, I love this community, so epic!
For real lol, awesome stuff
Great more Warhammer, your content is awesome
This is what warhammer sieges should have been from the beginning, albeit with climable walls, gates etc. shame we had to rely on the modders to do it for CA
Toodle Pip yeh seriously, the maps CA make have been terrible for so long now. Its as if they just press auto generate. So much about total warhammer has been so lazy which is a real shame
To be honest I am really glad I do not have to deal with this every single time I lay siege to a Karak.
Siege battles could use improvement, but this here seems far more suitable for multiplayer than singleplayer.
Yeah no thanks, a map like this would need like 3 full stacks to really defend, and 3 more to besiege it. Also, don't know what rig this guy is playing on, but performance will *TANK* for most people.
Warhammer is all about the epic scale as indy pointed out. This isn't perfect but its a step in the right direction, have you seen the maps from atilla? Some of those are massive with intricate, layered defense, which are great for multiplayer, which this map was clearly designed for. Of course for single player it would need scaling down and adjusting to suit a wide array of player's rigs, but this is a hell of a lot better than what CA produced which was a huge step backwards from previous total war titles. Add in some ravines, strategic chokepoints this would be awesome for a wide array of matches.
WHAT A WAR ! awsome replay!
hah, 23.50, I laughed
- says the gangster
23:50 23 : 50 Thank you for the Timestamp, not many do link to what they refer to.
Vampires obviously had the mobility, but made terrible use of their air superiority, which sealed the deal.
The main use of air units is flanking and harassing, not charging into dwarven blops, after all.
This is the kind of battle that has been missing from Warhammer. Wonder if there will be scenario maps based off of battles from the lore soon? Battle of Death Canyon would be cool to see.
I think people will be making scenarios for it yeah! I cant make scenarios in the beta cuz I have Windows 7, but maybe make a post on TW Forums or Reddit and see if your scenario could be a possibility. I remember your explanation of the battle, it sounds very cool!
so this means that attacking a Karak of the Dawi plays out differently than attacking a walled city in the Empire?? This means that the Moot ISNT as Hard to attack as Karak Kadrin??
WHO COULD HAVE IMAGINED....
It looks nice enough, though it would have been nice with a camera not moving fast all the time(speaking of the start of the video) stopping my view after this comment since it appear more focused on fast play than time to view whats taking place.
Anyway great that you made it
That steam volley to the face of the vargheist as it tried to run away to finish it off was amazing.
This was the first replay I watched after I heard this game existed in August last year, and I immediately saved up money to buy a new computer so I could run it. Keep up the great work, Indy.
This is really good.
This is how battles should be, although I'm taking a break for MP for a bit as I'm busy with other stuff, I cannot wait what epic maps will be made. Damn - this is how sieges and battles should be. Units like Organ Guns and Flame Cannons will perhaps be very useful. Ironbreakers are perhaps the best unit in a siege situation as they are pretty bad in open field battles where they can't really hold anything. Great video!
Can't wait for the tool to release and for sieges and quest battles to become available.
Would love to see Siege-Quest battles (As defenders and attackers ofc) with several waves of attackers.
DAMN THIS WAS EPIC! The thing about the Dwarves though, they get no spears, no cavalry, no monsters, and the gyrocopters are not that great. So really you have to rely on artillery a lot. I was surprised there were no organ guns or anvils on the field.
that was an awesome battle
Glad you enjoyed!
If they could be put into the campaign it would be great for the game. Otherwise it's not going to do much for the game.
can't they mod it? like these maps would take place in dwarven capitals
like in shogun 2
Sam Martin turns out they can add them.
there's a Total War video that explains how to do it.
First off, this is indeed the BEST dwarf video I have seen on youtube. The mad futile dash of the remaining dwarves to make it to Belegar was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in a video game. I know you liked the blood knights and the flame cannon but the attempt to regroup was cinematic AF. The face of your master engineer was also great. Little surprised you didnt comment on the Orc mask for the dwarven statue.
Whenever I've played this map I try to keep my units (and if I can convince my ally to join me) in the two walled off regions to the right. My line up normally is a line of Dwarf Warriors, followed up by Ironbreakers with their satchel charges, followed up by Irondrakes. Especially against infrantry heavy armies like VC and Beastmen it is absolutely brutal.
If my ally is Wood Elves we've had a lot of success with a ranged heavy Wood Elf Army with a Lore of Life hero. Usually when I play as the wood elves I use my healing on the dwarven front line, makes them almost impossible to destroy.
Also the version of this map BEFORE it got crushed on one side is up, very interesting deployment zones. A little harder for artillery tbh.
You should also try Gorduk Canyon by Doomon15, absolutely beautiful map to play on. Link here steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=854751631
Yeah I have Gorduk Canyon, did a battle with THFEProductions on it on his channel. Yeah the Dwarf retreat was incredibly cinematic, most of the battle was I thought. Was so happy I managed to get that replay lol, thanks for the kind words
FOOKIN EPIC. literally just found these cinematic battles, RIP my productivity
Interestingly i found you sounded like Steve Carell during this video
This replay is dope as fuck. I laughed so hard when you sniped that ghoul king, "smoke weed er' day" LOL Your commentary makes this already amazing vid all the better. Keep it up Indy!
Lol thank you glad you enjoyed it!
Mate i love the way u follow the cavalry and watching the burst of fire coming to their side!Great job again!
I love watching these battles, and have been learning a lot.
Recently downloaded the COW endtimes, loads of fun but still far too afraid to play any multiplayer battles :3
you know you have to Karak 8 peaks True King vs The Warlord
This fight lived up to the hype. I sat here with popcorn, a beer and more importantly the main theme of Army of Darkness playing in the background for all the key moments.
Great camerawork Indypride! What a cinematic battle. Looking forward to more of these epic siege battles.
If this exact battle scenario could be replicated on lab x5 unit size settings it would be INSANE.
What. A. Battle. Absolutely insane. I loved it
Glad to hear it :)
the custom maps really changes the game, very nice vid man as always
Holy shit lol, fucking beautiful map! Certainly love the terrain features, would like to see the map inside the gates someday, but this is an amazing start.
20:45 the flying beast walks right into the fire and goes down, one minute later 23:45 the second one, nice dwarven firepower + accuracy 😁🎯🔥
ur the best milkandcookies
Damn that's a map and half
Oh yeah it is
Have you seen Maruka's 'Siege of Karak Kadrin' map? It looks great
just waiting for mac release, can't fucking wait
I honestly love this update, it solves the problem i had with sieges. also cannot wait for bretonnia flc GRAIL RELIQUAE HYPE!
My first contact with this game is with this amazing and epic battle! thanks for open my eyes!
You're very welcome :D
Nice epic battle, also and very fitting commentary. Keep up that nice work! Map is stunning *cough cough Nexxes is a friend of mine cought*
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! A talented friend for sure ;P
Absolutely stellar tracking of events! Really delivers on the narrative even with the scale of the battle
I already liked the map maker in theory but this video is, to me, what has proven that it is the way forward for this series.
If we get an army painter too at some point in the trilogy this will literally be the definitive Warhammer game series to end all warhammer games series.
Oh man it's so frustrating to not be able to play with Lizardmen. I know _exactly_ how I would had liked to assault these dwarven positions.
At least 4-6 regiments of skinks to skirmish and hopefully soak up fire from the two first positions and create a corridor with your teammate, for a main assault of a Carnosaur (with lord), 2-3 Cold Ones, 1 Kroxigor and a Stegadon with ballista to fire on the move, to assault the upper position. Daowi arty will have a harder time hitting stuff upwards (edit: without getting blue on blue), and that's probably where the most valuable targets will be. Saurus warriors would of course make up the core, with most trying to back up the main assault, and a few in reserve/support for ally. No slanns, maybe one or two skink priests.
Depending on points; Terradons for extra mobility where needed, salamander pack for melee support - alternatively another Kroxigor unit.
*ARGHH I WANT TO PLAY TW:WH WITH LIZARDMEN*
How do you play with the red duke in campaign/multiplayer?
Beat the Wood Elves mini campaign to get him in custom and multiplayer. You cant play him in campaign without mods
I cant watch these big battles cause I get jealos cayse my prosessor aint good enough
Rome: Total War was the last time I've experienced anything close to this in the base game (no mods). I'm not sure what happened to Creative Assembly. I'm sad. In fact, I couldn't even really replicate any of the battles shown by the developers in the Previews, just felt so underwhelming compared to the original Rome.
A battle more than 10 minutes in warhammer? Unique maps... WHY NO REAL SEIGE MAPS CA!?! WHY!?!?! I loved this battle so much it's what the game needed to be :D
I was reticent but as a Vampire player I called the Dwarven victory at the start..
GL overcoming a Dwarven shieldwall with anything but Horrors and Ghulfs and even then expect YOOJ losses.
Those stunty bastards are fucked up.
I'm really happy TWW players got functioning map-making tools (which can't be said for Attila tbh). Let's hope this is a trend going forward. :) Cheers everyone.
I was watching all tensed up and randomly "the strigoi ghoul king very low hp sniped out the sky! 720 quickscoped dough-shot from the master engineer, sending the ghoul king plummeting to the earth, smoke weed everyday, " instantly liked the video after that.
Five years later, this is still absolutely fire.
good cinematic battle, but honestly kinda annoying to see such poor strategy by the vampires..... wasting scores of flyers to do meaningless HP damage to artillery... sitting in a kill zone... taking head on fights with iron breakers.... really sad
wasn't a close or even battle at all :(
One day they'll make another TotalWar game and then this game's default price will drop. Then I'll buy it on a sale, because then the game plus DLC will equal the price of the original game, more or less. That way I get a full game for the price of a full game.
Watching this I was thinking on thing, for the entirety of the battle. Why did the dwarves walk out and fight the vampires. They could have just sat behind those collosal walls, shot down the fliers and bombarded the vampires with artillery until they went home.
size of the map is enormous, look at that archway...considering this is a dwarven stronghold, I'd say they are compensating for something...guess I'm about to end up in that book of grudges again...
This was awesome to watch, but I cringe at the architectural design of the keep....Make choke points much smaller, make gauntlets tighter. Yeah its a video game I know..., but it bothers me haha
Awesome! Say, I'm a little new to Total War Warhammer, and I want to try out the Vampire Counts first as Isabella Von Carstein. Got any helpful starter tips?
I still think tht losses of dwarves could be less if in begining the armies of White Dwarf stand under the defence of walls of Belegar`s army. However there is no difference of talking now it like it is. And Dwarves stand.
Sieges in your average game should be more like this. Maybe not AS huge, but they really fucked it up with sieges in game... Battle maps in general suck. No real detail.
the only thing that would have made this siege better is if you would have turned the blood and gore DLC of. it is realy shit and its a shame cuz blood and gore fits so well into warhammer but CA fucked it up.
That was definitely a fun match, and yeah, definitely didn't use the geist the best I could lol, but at the end there I just needed something to tie guys up and distract as my guys were coming around XD Was a ton of fun and can't wait for another game.
What is the players who plays this battle doing? Are they having a date while playing? They're absolutely not playing because they're getting flanked constantly and they do not have that many men to control.
CA need to code 3 ways battle in this with the 2nd game of the trilogy. Can you imagine a karak 8 peaks battle in a map as epic and big as this one, between greenskins, dwarves and skavens?
Honestly dwarves are so good at defending and almost unbeatable armies early game. Those ridiculous ranged attacks just pulverize any enemy leaving no room for mistake on the attacker side
I think there should be undead dwarfs, elves, orcs, dragon ogres aaand more for vampires xd (more vampires factions
And if we get a free for all mode and (hopefully) the skavens in the future, this map will be a perfect place for free for all between Belegar, Skarsnik and Queek.
Lovely video, but you need to learn when to stop over describing the shit out of everthing. I had to mute the video half way through because of the constant describing of useless details. A moment of silence in the midst of battle doesnt hurt.
It did feel like one of the dwarf players went afk x.x;
I really wish they would make castle's again..not just a part of it. :( It Total War Warhammer still got things to do better.
great video, but it was obvious the dwarfs would win that from about half way through, the way you described it at the start made me think there was a plot change, disappointing
Hype as fuck for the full Map Editor tools. Hoping to see more great replays like this if this is an indicator of what the community is capable of.
really really really intense battle, great casting as well. hope to see more battles like this from you.
Holy sht this was so frkn awesome! Probably the best total war battle I've ever seen. Big battles with dwarves are just everytime so epic.
it would have been wiser for the dwarf player in the lower plaza to pull back into the plaza more; then the player on the upper plaza could guard him with enfilading fire.
kind of unfair since you had the ground advantage. If the undead had more forces to compensate of the highground it wouldn't be a win for dwarfs.
how the hell are these custom maps 1000000 times better than anything CA can make??? do they suck so much as devs or what?
i had an aneurysm when i saw that the dwarfs next belegar were basically just running in circles when they could have just ran to him when they were almost killed and when there were no enemy units anywhere close to them
I've seen your Talabheim Defense and your Karak Defense now and I cannot really say what I love more. While Talabheim is maybe a bit more tactical , the Karak Defense is probably even more epic.
One Question though, why did you choose to have three separate Armies in Defense on this Map instead of all being in one Spot ?
Because the replay would have been nowhere near as epic or long if we had done that ;P And because keeping our armies separate gave our last two plazas with all our artillery longer to fire into combat, while the Vampires were attacking the first plaza
milkandcookiesTW
Ookey :) thanks for the Answer
You know its a good siege battle, when the battle last for more than 20 min and the attacker didn't win by standing idle in the capture point
HOW? I GET LAG WITH 20 ULTRA UNITS
why didnt vamps just take refuge under the ledge..they just stood in formation out in the open....got wrecked.
ill be honest, the scale of the map works against the overall epicness of the battle, even though it's a 3v3 it really feels small and not filled at all
TH-cam said six minutes ago, but I read it as six months ago, so I was confused how you used a custom map XD.
damm that damage done to the varghul by the axe trowers. insane !
