I'm really looking forward to this series- knowing how to play a faction gives some insight as to how to beat it, but a series focused entirely on hard counters to different factions and races would be fantastic.
Cant agree with you anymore
As a VC Main I am VERY salty about this video...
The information is super basic, if you're any good as VC you'll still beat most people... Besides people who need to rely on TH-cam videos to figure out tactics usually aren't the best players in the first place. There are also some things in here that really make me shake my head - like the double silver chevron blood knight in the build example. No proper VC player will make his BK's 290 gold more expensive than they already are.
I feel ya.
@@enjoythestruggle people who need to rely on VC to win any battle aren't the best players either. Pwnz.
enjoythestruggle keep telling yourself that. Idiot
Haha agreed. Great video for an anti linear faction. I disagree with blood knights ever being worth the money. There are so many better options to spend your micro on. That and literal focusing on a unit until leadership is broken will disintegrate ANY VC unit
Conquering Sylvania as Empire is so satisfying.
Not as much as conquering reiksland with the vampire counts
@@phantom3969 Landing 10 units of Vargheist's on their walls (Isabella has monsters and Vlad has infantry/cavarly) and picking them apart while their infantry gets annihilated by Purple Sun of Xerxeus and Wind of Death.
Sylvania was a major city of the Empire.
@@buukute??? Sylvania is a province, not a city...
I just wish the cities would change from Vampire skins to proper, respectable Empire skins.
Or that you could raze the entire province and no one else came in and rebuilt it. Give me Empire cities or give me (their) death.
Hey man, as a new player, I really appreciate these types of videos. So, keep up the good work.
He taught me how to play. Zerks videos are the best
Empire Engineer: The answer. Use a gun, and if that don’t work...use more gun!
Dawi Engineer: The Answer? Irondrakes. And if that don't work...flame cannons.
Don't you have some shitty spearmen you can toss under their feet too?
Dakka dakka dakka
U need bigger gun
Nuln engineer: there is not a problem in the world that can not be solved with guns.
This is a fantastic resource, please do one for Dark Elves soon, those spiky bastards have had it too good for too long.
you really only need 3 things to deal with the spiky boyz:
Armor piercing, armor piercing, and more armor piercing.
And quantities
What a great vid, i'm a very experienced TW player so none of this is new to me but all the combat footage you captured was so compelling and well edited and thinking critically about a game is good regardless of whether the info is new or not. 10/10.
Thank you, I've been waiting for this type of series.
Plus I know a lot of folks that have been looking for exactly this. Everyone does roster guides, but nobody does how to beat them. Until now.
This series is about to be a new favorite of mine. Love your stuff!
Really quality guide, looking forward to the next one! Appreciate the depth of the details, including movement speed of dire wolves for skirmish cav chases and which lords pull ahead in certain contexts. I'd love to hear a bit more clearly delineate which factions have the most and least favorable matchups and why, I know you somewhat covered that low armor, low leadership factions are susceptible, but it's fun to hear your view on which are really the toughest and most easily won contests.
This is great. Thank you I would watch all of this series. Well broken down and presented fantastic work
Great guide Zerkovich - please keep these coming, they are so useful.
This series is gonna be great, keep up the good work.
Wow man, i really like this series. Its also like a guide as to how to play as or against the vampire counts. I‘m looking forward to the other parts of the series.
Aw yus a new video series :) this is a really great format and I'm keen to see what faction you do next ♥️
This was great video! Thanks for making the time to make it :)
With the new DLC dropping soon, I have been watching as many of your videos as I can so I don't suck as much with Ikit Claw! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for the series, I loved your guides and learned a lot from them
I love this series idea. This is a great follow up to the army guides
Combined with your faction guides, this gives a really good picture on how to handle any army.
Knowing what beats you and what people will lookout for is just as important as knowing the strengths of your units! :)
Hey Zerkovich ... very much a fan of your usefull and logical advice for playing Total War games....
Keep up the Good Work...
Exciting news series to come. Quality content as always. Noice. Thank you, my good sir.
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
Hey, just wanted to say I subbed. Keep up the good work brother!
I like the shutdown format. : ). Good job! And thank you !
Very well made! nice one zerk!
This series is a great idea. Can't wait to see more
Zerkovich, I would put numbers on the episode titles of this new series. But it's a great idea for a new series! Knowing the amount of effort and skill you put into your vids, it's gonna be great. I have 800hours on the TWWarhammers and I'm still getting a lot of interesting new insights from your channel! Real quality, man.
This video is lacking more videos in this series. Keep it up, man!
There's some really good VC tips in here, like using the wolves to mow down horses.
I wasn't aware that they were so strong against them.
Another great series. Looking forward to them.
I've put over 1000hrs into this game, but I still love watching all your guides. Particularly looking forward to the Skaven shutdown guide, I despise fighting those vermin.
Do the Dark Elves next, they seem to have no weakness other than small numbers. Great video ! Can’t wait to see what you have next
best guide i've ever seen, well done
That's a Great format I love it.
I remember expressing interest in a series like this when I first subscribed to the channel, so this is pretty sweet.
Love this new series! keep it up
Great video. You should continue that series @zerkovich ! High elf or wood elf next ?
This is awesome! Thanks!!
new to the game, deciding i like VC, watched this to get a comprehensive understanding of where my weaknesses are and what i need to be aware of having a hard time against. Quality info.
A proffessional presentation. Thanks for all your hard work.... :)
Thanks for watching my friend!
Just got my arse handed to me as Balthasar Gelt by the Vampire Counts in the reworked Empire campaign and this video is incredibly helpful! 🙏 Would love to see an updated guide if you have the time.
Main thing I go with: Kill their Lord and Mortis Engine. Once you kill those two everything eventually crumbles.
Their lords are tanky and equiped with buff/debuff spells to make them even tankier. Focusing their mortis engine is a good idea, but it's not as easy as it sounds. VC has constant fodder to absorb melee charge, and aerial support to harass enemy's backline.
Fire spells are indeed their main weakness. It quickly removes fodder and allows main units to strike more important unit like mortis engine
Best way to know how to do well as a faction is to know exactly how you can beat them.
Looking forward to the next episode!
Do you have a schedule planned?
A Zerkovich video on this day of days, happy birthday to me indeed
Great series, please continue.
(Sorry but my english is very bad, i know enough for understand but speaking or writing its hell for me)
:D
Este vídeo es genial! Aprendes a como jugar contra los vampiros, mientras a la vez aprendes como sus ventajas y como llevarlos a la victoria.
Buen trabajo Zercovich, me gusta mucho la técnica (objetiva) con la que planteas tus guías y vídeos! Sigue así!
you're English is fine, I understood it, and it is not my native language.
@@larsnordstrom364 Thx :)
MrGuamedo que onda yo también habló español, si quieres jugar alguna vez dime ;)
Amen. Stone cold Steve Manfred. A frightening unit indeed.
Great guide!
Really a great video! I would like to see some advises to beat High Elves, specially with Tomb Kings. I am having many troubles when they pick Tyrion... Lot of thanks for your job!
Well... The best way to beat tomb kings are the same as beating VC: assassinate their lords.
High Elves are a lot more difficult, but shields and death wind on Mannfred helps dealing with elite Archers and Infantry respectively.
Looks like a good series keep making it
I cant wait to see the next one!
Great series to continue
I really like this video. I cant wait for the ones to deal with skirmish heavy factions. I really hate facing wood elves for example. :P
I myself love the Wood Elves. Guerrilla warfare is a much-cherished strategy of mine.
*laughs in vampire coast* no artillery for vampires....none at all ;)
We don't need it
@@vladvoncarstein1568 I think he refers to magic as our artillery
very helpful series, could you make one for the wood elves? always find it hard to deal with too many missiles and wild riders running wide around the battlefield
Cool techniques and tips there. Id have one addition. When you focus on one of the weaker frontline units to break through and surround them, make sure to stay out of the cast range of the vampire lord OR attack from different angles so your troops arent squeezed together, because vampires always have a high damage area spell against armored units.
Top notch guide buddy
Finally something against Lordi's Vampires. Thanks man!
Gonna be a good series, I can tell.
Lol, I love the vampire count's battle theme song so much for some reason.
This is a great series zerk u might want to do one of these for tomb Kings
I'm probably in for the long haul of doing them all now...
Zerkovich Well I for one will be watching them all. Excellent as always nice work.
Know what’s terrifying? Sartoza pirate lady destroying the borderland kingdoms, cutting through Wissenland and Averland with only one army, and declaring war to Karl Franz (me), while I’m in the middle of Sylvania with my 3 armies.
Its interesting to see the huge differences between the digital and the tabletop, The strats appear to be close in some areas and majorly different in others
What a great video!
Great series
Thanks for this. Just started to play again and my first Imrik dragon challenge was with undead and the fear just caused killed me from any kind of strategy. I was going to restart to see if I could get a different starting dragon but maybe I'll try again. Last attempt I made it down to the dragon and 1 other character. Maybe now I can win.
VERY thorough guide on VC. One thing you didn't mention was some of the other Vampire Count tools that deal with single entities. Banshees, Wight Kings, Gaze of Nagash. You did mention Terrorgheists and Zombie Dragons to be fair. I think Gaze of Nagash has got a lot of bad rap over time. It's overpriced it's true but is often misused on units that aren't single entities. On enemy lords it can take off a third to half health depending on the lord, especially overcast. I'm saying that as someone who almost never uses a skill point on it in campaign. I probably should though.
And I also think it's worth saying that most of the VC units that appear to have low melee attack for their class give a false sense of security because of Danse Macabre. That spell is quite cheap, basically a Walmart Birona's Timewarp but very effective in turning that low melee attack into something very scary especially on units with high weapon strength like Crypt Horrors or ethereal units. Even zombies summoned on top of crossbowmen or darkshards will make short work of them if they have Danse Macabre active.
Hi Zerkovich, if you play as Dark Elves and just choose a mix of Black Guard of Naggaroth Guard and Hoeth, there is no combination other than selecting all Banshee lord spam to win...and even then it's a slog and little bit of micro.
100% win, it can't be defeated.
How win against horrifying monsters?
Your gut instinct here is very very right for once, basically:
KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Or bigger monsters.
As Empire I'm looking to destroy Mannfred by turn 45-50. You need 4 greatswords in the stack and 2 Reiksguards, 6 crossbows and swords and spears for the other slots but it also actually helps to have pistoliers because you can trick the cavalry to give chase and separate from the stack, allowing you to destroy them. You can alternatively trick some of the bats to chase and get them destroyed way before melee starts. Even if you can't do that, when the knights, bats, and vargheists start their flanking moves, reposition the crossbows to shoot as many as possible of them down, while keeping 1 cavalry unit + 1 or 2 spears on each flank to protect the crossbows. If you can minimize damage from those units on your crossbows and destroy them quickly, this allows you free shooting with the crossbows, you may send them do the flanks or just have them shoot sideways, that still does damage, though not as much. Field a mortar in the stack as it will cause massive damage to the undead infantry in melee and can enable you to reduce the number of crossbows.
Vladdy may be on foot, but he and his whole army gets Vanguard.
Who needs a horse when you can just walk in their backline
The grave guards are really damn good at pumping out damage
They are the top tier for the vampire count
I won a game with just vlad left because he healed so much
once i charged him into 2 units of great swords, and WoD them into oblivion.
@Flekk Bone Gnawer yup, but they still should have gave him a horse at least tho.
Thanks guys, Also I hate horses.
After what happened in Altdorf, I'm not very fond of heights @Flekk Bone Gnawer
@@vladvoncarstein1568 what happened?
to shutdown the vampire counts is to PURGE THEM WITH HOLY FIRE
Edit: Or kill the lord, trust me the undead factions are heavily reliant on their lords, if hte lord goes down then the rest will fall like dominoes
Takes all these tips into battle, only to face Isabella and a bunch of vampires!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
When I see the Zerk I watch and thumb up. Because he knows how to kill vampires!!!! Mad Lad indeed!!!
Hey can you make more videos of this series? It's really interesting
Infantry only there to fight a holding action to allow other units to disrupt and charge from the rear, strong cavalry, strong air units... The Vampires are just an unchivalrous version of Bretonnia!
"Stone Cold Steve Mannfred."
I will *never* unsee that! 🤣🤣🤣
More of this plz
One thing ive learned is that, always bring good frontline units and good shock cavalry
Really don't understand why Mouselloun is not playable.
because the area is cloged enough and we already have vamps rulling the old world by turn 60
VC already have 5 lords, 3 factions, and a closely related faction with 4 more lords. There is a pretty good mod to make Mousillon playable. I think we're done with undead for now, until Nagash and Neferata probably in Game 3.
EmperorPrince While it would be interesting, the problem is that the Red Duke is bretonnian, meaning he loves his horses. Horses and zombies as VC are op, if he buffed the cavalry it would be ridiculous.
"Being a human"
... well except the vampires who aren't humans.
:)
Awesome video!/))
Can u plz make how to shut down Vampire coast? I am really struggling against them:( don’t have a single win vs them:(((
Good idea this serie
I think the effect of fear’s -8 leadership is usually exaggerated its often not that big of a deal
As a vc main, I am thankful for this, as it mean I can prepare my counter-counter tactics
pol ara Emperor shall erase you from Sylvania!
Muhahahahahaha
pol ara *SUMMONING THE ELECTOR COUNTS INTENSIFIES*
I do not believe a reliable counterplay to lizarbois exists.
I could be wrong.
The Vampire Count is not simply powerful in battle units, it is the campaign mechanic as well. Compare to the Wood Elve where every settlement have no wall and the garrison is usually small.
PLEASE, PLEASE, DO A GUIDE ON HOW TO KILL THAT BLASTED COUNT NOCTILUS!
You don't need to do a guide on how to deal with the Pirate Coast, as I can defeat the other lords pretty handily, but I do not know how to end that wretched Count Noctilus with his endless spam of zombies so that you can't get to his endless backline guns.
You need powerful duellist lords to kill him, but they get picked apart by the Coast guns. If you get a cheap foot lord, he gets sniped by wraithstorm and endless gunfire. If you get a cavalry lord, Noctilus will slaughter him. Caster Lord- Noctilus has better magic than almost anyone.
Please show us how to knock him off his scratching post.
Count Saruman Temple of Luminark
I play vc main, and I haven't really noticed cheap halberds or single entity monsters as a big problem. I think the most annoying thing to deal with is the skirmisher units, especially things that can shoot on the run. Elite halberds are probably the next most difficult thing to deal with.
Apparently the AI watched this because they've pinned me in Sylvania for nearly a hundred turns.
siege a VC city is the easiest city since they had no ranged units at all
I wish they would do a colab with game of thrones and make a white walker faction that would be so cool
Please do the lizardmen shut down. love these videos :)
Do Vampire Coast next!
Great work, keep it up in tha f*cking future
I struggle against the vampires the MOST. I get angsty every time someone picks 'em.
How about a video on how to use lords/heroes/magic/etc.?
Only just noticed after playing warhammer for hundreds of hours that you can click an up arrow to overcharge spells.
