I will be using Hellblaster Volley Guns once I unlock them, but I won't be using cannons or mortars of any type. I really want to test the limits of normal war wagons, pistolers, and outriders as they normally get overshadowed by better options in my campaigns.
I think if you put those crossbowmen in guard mode they might've actually shot those bats. But honestly bats seem to make most units act really finicky
Isn't it just a bug? Same happened to my crossbowmen when I tried to make em shoot ground units tho, they would just walk into em like it's nothing (yes, they had ammo XD), but they shot flying enemy lord then, cuz couldn't try to melee him
Even without guard mode, they seem to shoot during melee sometimes. Edit: I will give that a shot though, especially because they don't usually need to chase units down as they simply shoot them as they retreat.
@@BrilliantStupidity I’ve noticed that with dwarf gunners, it seems like the ones in the back still fire while the ones up front do melee unless told to do melee
I'm glad someones praising the free company, they're a personal favorite, able to shoot down early game monster, effectively rout fleeing units via their move and shoot, skirmish decently, support each-other in melee ect. Great early game unit
"You may choose, warrior. The path of light, or the path of darkness" "I choose gun." "That is not one of the choi..." [cocks gun] "wait... what are you doing?"
I feel "only gunpowder units" would be a more appropriate title seeing as your still using them in melee and a hellstorm is a rocket launcher but it's still a good idea
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s experienced the ranged unit bug where they just refuse to shoot the enemy you target. I’ve been having the same problem and I just don’t understand why it’s happening 😂
I do not understand how you play this game so well. I am s*it at this game. Love to see a playthrough of Warrior Priests only. I don't know where they stack on the power level but I just love the unit or class since Warhammer Reckoning. Love watching your videos man you are awesome.

Honestly ive found pistoliers to be pretty good, only if to attack single entity units if you need to get around and flank them. Killed a sigor with 2 units as one was being killed with rocks.

Loving the series. It's a fresh take and I don't mind that you edit out the turns where nothing happens. Not sure if it's a mistake but your Volkmar battle on turn 17 didn't load. It just goes from clicking on manual fight to the result screen.
It was intentional, but I should have made it more clear - that fight was just really basic and boring so I cut it out. Also, I'm glad you're enjoying the series!
I love that after a run of teeth clenched, nail biting hell trying to keep my poor lizards alive one more turn on normal, I can go online and watch clips of someone winning IE with some insane bonus challenges.
The same thing happened to me. I was raging out loud saying the same things he did in the video. I don't know how he kept going after seeing that shit. I alt f4'd and haven't played since.
This was a pretty challenging start to be honest, I've never got Volkmar so I had no idea what his abilities and bonus's are but wow there kind of wacky, great first episode though man, I think this one Is gonna be a lot more challenging just because of the limitation to just range ~
Shit, I didn't really mess with it other than slight compression. Does that happen with my other videos as well? I do need to keep my voice quite loud so that people with smaller speakers can still understand me though.
Give the Empire for another 100 years in order for them to perfecting their gun and you ask can we do it with gun? Of course, they're the future weapons. The gun goes Bbrrrr...
Man, I thought this would be the easiest campaign by far and then I realized the empire gets handgunners only after a very long time then I looked at where you spawned. Then I thought what could possibly posses a man to torture him self in a game like this
theres a mod that gves any unit with ranged a hold position button, they wont move for any reason unless they rout or something, give them a target and they wont even shuffle around their own formation
With the new DLC, I believe it may be time to redo this challenge, this time for the glory of Nuln ! Though a gunpowder only one might be better, I'd love to see the artillery wreaking havoc if nothing else !
Love your stuff my man....I'm trying to hang on, I'm pissed at the current state of the game. I've stopped playing.....but, try to mantain some interest thanks to you pal...
In the volkmar campaign i noticed when looking for those books its better to travel to ilustria cause the scaven an pirates seem to like doing raids across the ocean once the huntsman are eliminated
@@elijahgeorge9235 honestly it'd be fine. He starts with 1 of each, with ikit himself that's easily enough to take a settlement then abandon/resettle skavenblight at tier 3. Wait a few turns for the building, then get as many as you can afford (ikit gets a -50% upkeep on weapons teams from his starting trait and an extra 15% through his skills), so you can get a lot even on low money. Then just waltz around the map shooting everything.

The crossbowmen that were not cooperating knew very well you were doing ONLY GUNS challenge.
The "Only X" series is so much fun to follow. Please do keep making these.
yknow I thought you'd be keeping the artillery (except for maybe the helstorm) since they're basically just bigger guns, but I don't mind this

@@BrilliantStupidity I like using war wagons to absorb charges that ae about to hit my gun lines

@@foreignfat6009 yeah, grenadier is literally the empire doomstack
Hoping to see like 5 witchhunters in the armies just pumping the gun damage
Handle bar mustache, love of God, and a gun for every man, woman, and child? Are we playing as America?
Even better, manifest destiny
For Sigmar!
God and America dont mix
This is basically how I play Cult of Sigmar normally so i love the idea for this series
I think if you put those crossbowmen in guard mode they might've actually shot those bats. But honestly bats seem to make most units act really finicky
Well i mean, they are bats, even if they are big ones they are small flyng models, make sense, and well corona virus
@@unukthewarrior8077 "coronavirus" lol
In all fairness if I saw a bat the size of three men I’d probably act erratically as well.

Im pretty sure that if you have guard mode on then free company units will fire their guns while in melee
Even without guard mode, they seem to shoot during melee sometimes.
Edit: I will give that a shot though, especially because they don't usually need to chase units down as they simply shoot them as they retreat.
@@BrilliantStupidity I’ve noticed that with dwarf gunners, it seems like the ones in the back still fire while the ones up front do melee unless told to do melee
@@BrilliantStupidity It's not guard mode, it's fire at will. that'll make them shoot in melee. just don't put them in melee mode
They would shoot in melee mode, but it would also make them die faster due to the low density of troops in melee. Not very ideal to hold the line.
Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.

I like your style. Total War campaign videos are difficult to make interesting but you've done a good job here. Subscribed.
If you wanted to win a campaign with guns only, I would probably go with Dwarfs... Empire is terrifyingly outdated...

Great work mate, really enjoying these random campaigns
I always love your challenge series. Please continue! I'd love to see a Vampire or OOOOG a Beastmen one!?! Beastmen rock
I did something similar in my first Cathay campaign. It was absurdly fun
That battle where you had to corner camp was freaking awesome! Well done mate

Meanwhile Clan Skryre: "What is that Me-Lee thing you keep talking about?"
These videos are the highlight of my lunch
I love the premise of this video because it feels so obvious. It feels kinda like saying “can I conquer feudal Japan with just guns?”
Have to say, great choice of music!
14:30 I too know the pain of Empire total war, glad to see it carried over to warhammer total war as the Empire.
I feel your pain. Ordering range units to do anything just breaks their ai lol.
The lack of reloading animations is so lazy
They were so great in shogun 2
Especially if you remember DUEL animations in shogun 2
Its more realistic to warhammer
Just download the mod
Ahhh the beauty of warhammer
The turn counter in the top left is a great idea for Total war videos!

looking forward to this mini series as Volkmar. I tried his new start on VH/VH and manfred was a pain in the ass even when I rushed him.
My god how they held the line 🤌
For his neutral special, he wields a gun.
I mean, he wields that for everything, but his neutral special too.
I like how you had Winter by Vivaldi playing in the background
LOL Everytime I finish one of your videos I start a new game to try your build
Me seeing Volkmar right at the beginning: "...does he have a giant eagle made out of warpstone strapped to his chest?
this arms race? no contest! rats show them our technocracy is superior to all no furs yes-yes!
I'm going to do everything in my power to get a military alliance with Skaven, to recruit Rattling gunners. It might not be possible though haha.

The answer? A gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
Was half expecting you to play Skryre considering the ratling guns and Jezzails
Early game would kill you though, because you can't recruit any for a few turns and they're too expensive to field an army of early on
