As a Scandinavian I can confirm this is how we all live our daily lives. I'm watching this video from a phone I looted from the cold dead hands of an Elven spearman.
02:08 imagine you getting conquered and your whole city burns and the foe's leader just yells "I RAZE THIS PLACE IN THE NAME OF.... one of our gods or whatever".
That was my goal in my first ever WH2 campaign. Well, I almost did it, half of the Ulthuan was under Malekith and I really didn’t want to fight him with my gun zombies.
Kataph’s Kraka Drak Dwarfs mod is kinda one to follow this. Although its a dwarf faction, your goal is to conquer nórsca and while doing so you have the opportunity to construct buildings that allow you to recruit norscans looking for payback against Chaos!
I wish wulfrik had the ship horde mechanic that the vampire coast had. Would allow you to go for a more pillaging and wandering playstyle as opposed to the classic "unite the tribes and then push south into the empire" approach
Sword of Khaine is such a cool mechanic. Kinda wish all the legendary weapons had something similar where they could be stolen. Like imagine if it was possible for Grimgor to steal Ghal Maraz?
Sounds more like what Ysgramor did to the Elves than anything Viking, but still very enjoyable. Makes me want to give Norsca a go, haven't in a long time.
Just watched some recent videos of yours, Zerk and I just love you and your reaction about the Elfs. :D That "bleaurgh" always makes me smile in solidarity!
19:57 as a Geat I'd like to apologize for what my ancestors did to John. He was a pure soul and he did not deserve such brutality. May he come across the rainbow road in search for his heaven.
Great video, Zerk! If you are open for ideas I think it would be super fun to watch a Sartosa run-through of mortals only (except for artillery/vampire units) using allied Empire/cathay gun units and ogre mercenaries. Maybe establishing a pirate coast somewhere like Cathay or Southlands.
The norsca rework needs to include an official reskin for the maurader units. They should be wearing furs, leather and plate considering they live in a land of perpetual snow and ice. They shouldn't be half dressed. It'd go a long way to making them more thematically appropriate and separating them from Warriors of chaos. The reskin and a heavy focus on their unique units like Skin wolves, Frost trolls and Mammoths. These are unique cool units that also help differentiate Norsca from WoC. The rework is desperately needed ASAP.
I think the units are based off of minis from the upcoming tabletop release from Games Workshop. There are great mods that give the Norscans better clothes and armor.
Frost Wyrm was always my favourite Norsca unit, and one of the most coolest dragons. I would like them as mount for Lords instead of just Mammoths and Mammoths.
Yeah, currently they just look like generic evil fantasy barbarians. Actual Norse helmets looked pretty cool, so why not give them Norse-inspired helmets?
Chad Viking Norscans vs Virgin English High Elves. Raid pillage and burn all of Ulthuan! Peak historical accuracy here and top quality content. Especially with moments like 19:50, poor John.
I hope that Norsca will finally get their dlc with more human units, more on the Vikings side. Also maybe playable Skeggi as a faction (who were more "civilised" norscans) which tamed and even rided some dinosaurs.
This series is great. Its almost a bit like you old campaign lets plays, but in a more condensed way. Highly enjoying it! Also, agreed on old flamestorm. Looked much better then the new version.
Instead of a close nit wedge I believe the Romans opted for a long straight line that can encircle the flank of the opposing army if your worried about being flanked After a lot of trial and error
7:58 I just had a campaign, playing as Archaon, Using Kholek to assault the chorfs. Whatever that settlement is that protects the north end of the dark lands. I siege it, the army is too big I break the siege. . . Somehow I am on the other side of the settlement from where I attacked, now inside the dark lands with no way out. . .
You know Zerk.... Those Brits WERE self-righteous, and live on an island. These High Elves ARE self-righteous and ALSO live on an island! So yes! Thank you for recolonizing that island!
That is actually the parody. Elves are England, and the Dark Elves are America, being the twisted evil colonial offshoot with the heavy use of slavery.
I'm trying to think about how I would counter this strategy if I were the elves. My thought would be to drive a large portion of my troops after you, but then set up another army to cut you off on your other side, perhaps via ambush, but mostly to drive you onto the water south and/or west of the donut, then race an army towards Norsca to tear apart your infrastructure
On one hand, as a Dark Elf player I grimace at the filthy short-lifers standing on the grounds that rightfully belong to the Witch King. On the other hand, it's happening to the Asur, my hated enemies so I take the good with the bad.
Last time I played wulfrik (I usually play throg) i made it my mission to wipe out all elves from existence. I'm glad that you too see this as a noblr goal
As a Scandinavian I can confirm this is how we all live our daily lives. I'm watching this video from a phone I looted from the cold dead hands of an Elven spearman.
Is your name ragnar too? Ragnar swordson?
Elven of course being the Norwegian word for weak danish peasant
You mean 'British' spearman?
I challenge you to a duel to the death for that phone!
Poor John, first gets punted and then his phone stolen.
10:46 "Swordsson".
Literally "son of Sword"
...
His poor mother.
02:08
imagine you getting conquered and your whole city burns and the foe's leader just yells "I RAZE THIS PLACE IN THE NAME OF.... one of our gods or whatever".
I had no idea the Vikings "used werewolves as scouts" and "were well-versed in fire magic", thanks for the history lesson Zerkovich! 😂
Of course! How else were they so good at burning and pillaging?
I wonder if the werewolf can use magic too
@@Gorbz 🤣
It is known.
You southlanders sure are illiterate huh.
An elf free Ulthuan... Never has a more nobler goal been concieved.
It was written in the great plan I am sure of it
These norscan boys cleansed England of the english, a great day indeed!
untill the rats arive. hm i would love to try that BUT most of em are kind of far from that mess
That was my goal in my first ever WH2 campaign. Well, I almost did it, half of the Ulthuan was under Malekith and I really didn’t want to fight him with my gun zombies.
@@Pilvenuga And they did it without flooding the country with people from the south. Amazing.
I hope one day, even if is not loreful, we would see uncorrupted norscans ready to kick out their corrupted neighbours.
I've been hoping for that for a long time
you got dwarves for that
You can do this with the OvN Truthsayers of Albion mod.
Some norscan tribes worship non chaos gods such as ulric or ursun so its loreful
Kataph’s Kraka Drak Dwarfs mod is kinda one to follow this. Although its a dwarf faction, your goal is to conquer nórsca and while doing so you have the opportunity to construct buildings that allow you to recruit norscans looking for payback against Chaos!
RIP John the Elf. A star has stopped shining today, and legend says it's because it got ran over by a horse.
13:34 Historically accurate viking lord riding the mammoth across England
I wish wulfrik had the ship horde mechanic that the vampire coast had. Would allow you to go for a more pillaging and wandering playstyle as opposed to the classic "unite the tribes and then push south into the empire" approach
same for Lokhir and Alberic.
@@OverlordOfToxicity Lokhir has his black arc already he's doing fine.
@@olafthemoose9413 Lokhir should control black arc, by himself instead mynor general.
@@OverlordOfToxicity I think theres a mod for Alberic to get horde ship. Atleast the previous games had that mod for him.
I loved the «Å faen» when the elves attacked 😂
3:58
Underrated part
i did not expect that🤔
Sword of Khaine is such a cool mechanic. Kinda wish all the legendary weapons had something similar where they could be stolen. Like imagine if it was possible for Grimgor to steal Ghal Maraz?
The inquisition wants to know your location
@@lordadorable1140 *look down man-things, squeek not a breath*
Yeah, but Ghal Maraz is a quest battle for Karl. The Sword of Khaine I think is better, because elves HAVE to draw it, but then anyone can claim it.
Sounds more like what Ysgramor did to the Elves than anything Viking, but still very enjoyable. Makes me want to give Norsca a go, haven't in a long time.
Just watched some recent videos of yours, Zerk and I just love you and your reaction about the Elfs. :D That "bleaurgh" always makes me smile in solidarity!
Im so dissapointed that the formation Vikings were so proud of was so bad.
Cant believe they didnt account for dragons.
Loving all the effort you are putting in these videos!
John the Elf had so much backspin applied he bounced backwards on the landing.
I learned so many new things about the Vikings. Amazing.
Berserkers high on mushrooms dont believe the flaming bird is real and just ignore it... that's premium content right there
Absolutely loved the video! I adora thematic campaigns and armies, and Norsca as well. What a jackpot of a vid. Lovely content as usual!
19:57 as a Geat I'd like to apologize for what my ancestors did to John. He was a pure soul and he did not deserve such brutality. May he come across the rainbow road in search for his heaven.
20:16 rip Jhon the elf
Great video, Zerk!
If you are open for ideas I think it would be super fun to watch a Sartosa run-through of mortals only (except for artillery/vampire units) using allied Empire/cathay gun units and ogre mercenaries.
Maybe establishing a pirate coast somewhere like Cathay or Southlands.
Cool idea Sartosa humans (and now Ogres too) were always the most interesting to me. The real pirates, too bad they didn't expanded on that idea more.
There's a mod for mortal artillery and guns, that way you can be all mortal except vampires
Seeing John scream and FLY was the highlight of this video for me.
3:58 OH FAN!
That was so unexpected.
As a norwegian i can confirme that he said it just right;D
Rip to John the elf, he died the way any elf should. Getting run over by a large angry semi Norwegian man on an even bigger horse.
"The Norscans do realise that if they kill us all, the island is just going to sink and take them all with it, right?"
the "å faen!" at 3:58 caught me so off-guard i managed to spill my drink
Loving these themed gameplay vids.
Great video, the thematic self-constrained play throughs are highly entertaining!
6:30 Ah yes, the ol' viking tactic of just yeeting a boat through enemy infantry on the battlefield.
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
100% historically accurate that Vikings would throw longships at the English during battle.
really love these videos any hope for a campaign live stream
The norsca rework needs to include an official reskin for the maurader units. They should be wearing furs, leather and plate considering they live in a land of perpetual snow and ice.

Norsca are just literally chaos marauders as a separate faction, they don’t need any other flavour
Frost Wyrm was always my favourite Norsca unit, and one of the most coolest dragons. I would like them as mount for Lords instead of just Mammoths and Mammoths.
@@shmekelfreckles8157 cap
Yeah, currently they just look like generic evil fantasy barbarians. Actual Norse helmets looked pretty cool, so why not give them Norse-inspired helmets?
I love these series !
As an Englishman, I can confirm we still keep watches on dark winter nights, watching the ocean, waiting for the werewolves and spellcasters.
As a Norwegian the only thing i'd send to your shores is a hug 💪
Chad Viking Norscans vs Virgin English High Elves. Raid pillage and burn all of Ulthuan!
Peak historical accuracy here and top quality content. Especially with moments like 19:50, poor John.
i dont think high elves represent the english
What about the taking the women ?
love this video. Definately helped give me ideas for a Norscan campaign!
Great content! I think this campaign tomfoolery is the second most fun thing after Turin's multiplayer recaps :)
These vidoes are so good Zerkovich such a tear atm keep up!
the bit about john being punted had me in tears from laughing
as a mushroom i can confirm the sightings of big birds.
Please salute to honor soldier John the Elf:
o7
R.I.P. John
As a Norwegian i can call this an absolute win, because i indeed can fire magic, and i have my lwb werewolf scout.
I just want to say I love your sports commentary style of battle narration.
I hope that Norsca will finally get their dlc with more human units, more on the Vikings side. Also maybe playable Skeggi as a faction (who were more "civilised" norscans) which tamed and even rided some dinosaurs.
As an elf main I have only this to say:
John will be back.
This series is great. Its almost a bit like you old campaign lets plays, but in a more condensed way. Highly enjoying it!
Also, agreed on old flamestorm. Looked much better then the new version.
I love how you do your own rules but also break them a „little bit“ 😂😂😂
Keep going Brother.
Love to watch your videos!!
R.I.P. john u were a good man/elf
I'm legal!y feeling good and wanted to say how much I enjoy thischannel. Thank you and cheers mate
Could you do a Sartosa game with the overhaul mod they have and you play as a historical pirate/privateer
I fking love ur videos. Entertaining af.
Thanks for all ur humorfull videos ure doing everytime. Hopefully it wont end
loving these themed gimicky army videos
Yes, Åfan is my reaction to many things in total war games aswell 3:58
This was Awesome....really enjoyed it...thanks pal...
As a scandinavian I can confirm that we are well versed in fire magic and hate elves
Instead of a close nit wedge I believe the Romans opted for a long straight line that can encircle the flank of the opposing army if your worried about being flanked
After a lot of trial and error
They should add a non-chaos viking fraction. Maybe a Valkyrie fraction who successfully resisted chaos corruption.
It's faction not fraction. And there's no such faction that exists. The in game empires come from lore not asspulls
7:58 I just had a campaign, playing as Archaon, Using Kholek to assault the chorfs. Whatever that settlement is that protects the north end of the dark lands. I siege it, the army is too big I break the siege. . . Somehow I am on the other side of the settlement from where I attacked, now inside the dark lands with no way out. . .
Fun Fact: The Swedish word for "Donut" is the same for both "Monk"
Norsca is by far my favourite race! They are so hated in the community so love to see this vid!
These are really creative and i've loved every one of them
Excellent commentary for this video 😂
You know Zerk.... Those Brits WERE self-righteous, and live on an island. These High Elves ARE self-righteous and ALSO live on an island!
So yes! Thank you for recolonizing that island!
That is actually the parody. Elves are England, and the Dark Elves are America, being the twisted evil colonial offshoot with the heavy use of slavery.
@@ASpaceOstrich Could also be Greece and Rome?
@@ASpaceOstrich lemme guess. The Aztecs are the Lizardmen.
Norsca needs a big buff amd a big dlc, they should be much more then just Chaos Lite
17:55 You could have attacked the settlement, and the reinforcing army wouldn't have option to escape. I'm surprised so many people don't know that.
Bruh you got me with that "who needs tactics when you're a viking? Just hit things until are dead"
I love educational videos like this.
that end screen where morathi is happy is gold
19:49 😂omg that whole part was great and that scream tho!!! lol 😂😂😂
I'm trying to think about how I would counter this strategy if I were the elves. My thought would be to drive a large portion of my troops after you, but then set up another army to cut you off on your other side, perhaps via ambush, but mostly to drive you onto the water south and/or west of the donut, then race an army towards Norsca to tear apart your infrastructure
Zerkovich: "Ulthuan is my England."
Me: "So you're going to lose?"
John fought bravely, but alas the danger was too dire and he succumbed to the horse. Rest easy John.
Using Johann Heggs (Amon Amarth singer) "Great Heathen Army" soundbit would've been perfect
As a Swede the lack of mammoths are horrifying. How do you guys think we get around if not on Mammoth-back?
Apparently Wulfrik thought the same, and kept finding giant mammoths to ride while pillaging around the donut.
Vikings did in fact use dogs in battle
Great video, thank you!
this your most satisfying video, Finally the dream of an elf free Ulthuan is realized.
Glad to finally see gameplay from a historical TW game again.
On one hand, as a Dark Elf player I grimace at the filthy short-lifers standing on the grounds that rightfully belong to the Witch King. On the other hand, it's happening to the Asur, my hated enemies so I take the good with the bad.
The vikings didn't use cavalry. Not because they didn't have horses. It's just a nightmare to ship horses on boats. Not worth it.
As a Dwarf player of 30 years by now, I love your blatant hatred of ZeElfen!
This campaign basically sums up how Grombindals campaign goes lol. White dwarf straight to bully knife ears
John the Elf :D
This video was on another level
It is a fact, and all historians know this, that the only reason we don't have elves today is because the vikings killed them all.
its all fun and pillaging until you see twelve elven armies on the horizon making a beeline for your exact location
Love these new formats :)
i like those types of vids can you do same British empire tactics and more napoleon
“ just like in real life”😂
Enjoyed this one very much
Love your creative videos
Very nice history lesson Zerk
By Oden beard this is truly a work of art!
personally im impressed john the elf held onto his spear
"Sailing 40 days and nights or 3 turns" got me 😂
Last time I played wulfrik (I usually play throg) i made it my mission to wipe out all elves from existence. I'm glad that you too see this as a noblr goal
I used to bring these builds to mp as Chaos before Norsca were even added, got a couple wins too!
absolutely top quality content 11/10
Hello is it possible to make an update video on best mods for immortal empires.
New units packs and heroes. Please.
