What a display of foul tactics. I love it.
He is still skaven at heart
In the art of war and love which is a battlefield there do not exist any foul tactics. LUL
A shamefur dispray!
shameful, one might say
his whole channel is really just about bullying the ai. i love it.
Or you could call it... The Yaricade!
EDIT: Woo, I won!
100%
Sounds yarimazing
That is a great title for this technique!
I think he changed the title to it
He changed the title to match, so congrats on the name lol
I've played this game for 700 hours and never knew you had deployables holy shit
1100 hrs here, knew about them, but this is next level stuff clearly, wow.
It only happens if your army stays still for a whole turn and then gets attacked by the enemy. You rarely ever get to use them because you can move so far on Shogun 2 an enemy army is usually within range before the conditions are met. I'm almost certain another game has this exact same mechanic Empire and Napoleon?? I think you can stand on wall barricades and plant mines in those wait Medieval 2 has them too I remember using stakes for English Longbows.
@@pablopablo3834 Stakes in Medieval 2 are a unit ability that some (usually higher tier) ranged units have, it's not the same system as deployables in later games.
YEAH WTF I'm thinking the same right now.
I've only been able to deploy it once or twice. 550 hours but split across base and Fall of the Samurai.
Who would win?
- Katana Samurai hardened with glorious nippon cheats, folded 100000 times
- A flimsy piece of wood
a long spear peasant-boi
@@Srymakmany such cases
Tbf looking at it logically it gonna be pretty hard to even cross the deployable wooden screen knowing there's thosuands of spear armed men at the other side XD
everyone knows nippon steel sucks, pointy stick forever
A staunch line of spears always wins. 😂
Disgusting! I love it!
😂😂😂
why did you never do that
Not enough Kablooey for Pilps' taste i guess 😅@@bertibert6656
Why, and if isnt is marvelous ? Splendid !
Never even knew or considered it! Will do now however!@@bertibert6656
Using temporary structures and superior tactics with spearmen.. Legend is Oda Nobunaga now.
didn't nearly all japanese generals, or medieval warfare leaders in general, use this tactic? i mean... the french and british sure did
@@udozocklein6023 Not really. Usually, people didn't build barricades on the battlefield. The most notable cases in Medieval Europe were the Hussites with their carts, and later the English with their longbowmen during the HYW, and the French with their artillery and gunmen during its last battle at Castillon.
In Japan, Nobunaga was the first one to become famous for combining trenches, barricades, spearmen, and gunmen to take out the Takeda army at Nagashino. The tactic was later reused by his successors in the few conflicts that followed his death.
nice joke. usually people didn't build barricades on battlefields - just the two most important players and also roma and many more used the tactic when it made sense.@@Knoloaify
@udozocklein6023 There is a big difference between a handful of battles over the entirety of the medieval period and "nearly everyone did it".
If it was as common as you say we'd naturally see it in most battles, and yet we don't. Or please tell me about the barricades of Bouvines, Hattin, Nicopolis, Hastings, the battles of Kawanakajima, Okehazama, etc.
You said nearly all of them did, so surely those field battles and many more would have people building trenches and barricades on thr battlefield right?
@@Knoloaifyno by Odas early pike and shot existed and it was the start of trench warfare
Finally, someone thought to close the gap in Yari
There is a joke here and I don't get it. I feel so dumb
@@HansWurst1569 If there is, it's gone over my head
@@Makofueled maybe its the "Yuri>Yari" hence gap closed...but if its not, it went over my head too
@@awloreits because when you select multiple units and deploy them as a yari wall, there will be gaps between the units. If you put every unit together, its a gigantic speerwall
@@leonottens9891 thank you for the explanation, definitively not what i was thinking
Loving the historical stuff mate
That is wild, I really like using the deployable walls like that to create little forts but had never thought about making channels like that for my Yari.
Making a little fort where your yari can guard the openings in a V shaped formation works really well.
You can also do a Shogun I style bridgehead (90% of the battle maps are rivers with 1 bridge 😭). Need at least 2 layers to make it work (gaps/pathing nonsense), but he had plenty of archers to do it.... and could have then ran the archers into the woods (AI so forgetful). Once the tarball bridgehead is engaged, get the archers in range from the side and rain hell down on them while screening with yari sam and sending cav after AI's ranged units.
You know the gloves are coming off when legend starts control groups ;)
Legend's biggest advantage in Shogun 2 is that he has been to Rome and around.
The Japanese won't know what happened in Thermopylae and the strategy used there 😂
Actually they do ! Check for Tomoe Gozen and the Battle of Uchide no Hama which happened in 1184
@@meksil8776true, forgive the guy cuz he doesn't really know most of Japanese history, a shameful display! 😂
You mean the strategy of using chokepoints? Probably the most universally recognizable strategies out there. Sun Tzu even mentions it back in the 400s... BC...
Thermamoplyae didn't invent using chokepoints, every society already knows about them.
Damn this one is insane. So creative with all the tactics, tight maneuver and ofc the cheese.
Very fun and informative episode.
How could you not call that "the Yaricade"?
I didn't think of it. But I've changed the title now.
The staunch line of spears really made a comeback...
When Yari Ashigaru fall below 40 (?) models, Yari Wall is disabled due to casualties, essentially.
Routes what normally would be considered a key to victory, then overcomes all odds by using the AI against itself while taking few casualties. Can't be more LoTW than this. 😂
Imagine a total war game where positioning, morale, fatigue, and flanking matters.
^this
Unpopular opinion: Total War peaked with Shogun 2.
@@SuperSaiyanD48 thats not unpopular its a fact
@@SuperSaiyanD48 rome 2 and attile were awesome as well. id say the good total wars were rome 2, shogun, medival 2, attila and empires
@@TheLoki7281Rome 2 was not good. Rome 1 was far better, otherwise I agree.
I have 963 hours in shogun 2, I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF LAYERING THE DAMN BAMBOO WALLS.
This was an incredible battle to watch legend thank you so much!!!
Now that you are re-connecting with all these older total wars perhaps you can make some updated tier lists as to which one has “the most fun battles” or “the most balanced mechanics” etc!
Yarimazing!
I've always used a yari wall, but never like this. Legend after all these years, you still show us new tricks! much love
This has got to be the first time I've seen Deployables used in this way. I gotta give it a try Myself
lol gotta wait for an opportunity to actually use it as it requires not moving your unit for a turn
I never thought about using the barricades like this...Absolutely brilliant
I never used these walls before. This is beautiful, a staunch line of bamboo shielding the spears.
Legend using the old "Julius Caesar Special." Turns out that shit works against more than just Gauls!! Loving the Shogun 2 content Legend!
what if they would have build a wall around his wall? then he would have build an extra wall inside of his wall. roman wall races where hillarious :D
Small correction here: Shogun 2 very much gives a lot of autoresolve power to archers because for some reason it assumes that you can perfectly kite the AI. FOTS is the best example of this
That was a cool battle, fun to watch. Thanks Legend.
You say cheese I say unorthodox millitary tactics.
By far one of the most brilliant TW videos I’ve ever seen.
You are on fire with these SYDC vids and I am all for it!
The yari walls can technically hit through the barricades to the units attempting to flank so that can be pretty useful in impassable terrain scenarios where units don't have to set up inside the barricades.
ive been playing shogun 2 since its launch and this is by far the most big brain play ive ever seen using the barricades
And just like that, the Barricade Yari Wall was born. And that's why this channel is called "LegendOfTotalWar"
historical games rules! great video too legend.
Imagine if skavenslave spears had the yari wall ability 😁
imagine if warhammer units had formations in general
Tightly packed infantry in warhammer is just fodder for artillery and magic lol
Look up the “unit formation ultimate” mod. Lot of units start punching above their weight but oh god do aoe spells and anti-infantry artillery hurt. Corse that’s what cheese is for.
I'm new to Total War having only played Warhammers and Rome Remastered, so this is really interesting to see all the historical titles and how they played.
tremendous. and let’s just take another moment to appreciate the game’s gorgeous soundtrack
Imagine the enemy walking up to this and being like "Okay yeah I see what they've got going on here! We should definitely walk into that!"
Wow I have 650+ hrs in this game and I didn't know until know that ashigaru can run in yari wall hahah. Also this tactics was new to me, so it was very cool to watch this battle :)
Having a decent number of archers is still very useful in Shogun 2, since having ranged superiority is very important since the enemy likes to sit on hills. Not to mention sieges. Definitely not more than 10 per army though.
If you bring more than 6 units of archers, you are dead meat from enemy cavlry. Cavlry is very popular in multiplayer.
@@cezarmagicchess3665 multilayer is a whole different ballgame. 4-8 archers is the ideal number in campaign. The AI is not the best at effectively using its cavalry.
@GeraltofRivia22 I agree with you in campaign.
Loving the shogun 2 content been getting back into the game because of you
God this was nostalgic to suddenly see on my front page. Haven't played the game since 2012
Deployable defenses can be ridiculously OP when used correctly. Nicely done
Field battle... legend builds a bungalow
he calls it cheesing, but it's technically a valid strategy employed by many generals before. Good use of barricades Legend!
I've never seen a total war battle that has made me so angry and happy at the same time 😂😂😂
It was so rare to watch some videos because I was sick of Warhammer 3. This new historic series is a blast for me. Thank you legend.
Love seeing Ledge doing older TW stuff again
I can see why people really love this game, the music and battles were quality
This feels like a real army tactic that the Japanese would use. A bunch of sturdy field walls that the enemy commander is too dumb to figure out a way to get around. Would go in the history books for sure as one of those truly pivotal battles for sure!
This was like poetry on a super big, yari shaped quill.
This may sounds really strange, but did I use to know you? I remember I used to talk to a guy with the exact same avatar as you. Was it maybe Denko? I think we spoke on Discord or FJ.
@@Tekizeri Not to my knowledge, at least the name doesn't instantly ring a bell. I dunno if you heard the voice of whoever it was but I am identifiably Irish.
Don't sweat it though, I appreciate the random reconnect attempt, I've seen some odd people out in the wild on other sites before who I knew from other areas.
I'm surprised you still remember all the cheese there is for every particular Total War, especially because some things work in the opposite way in one game or the other. Always honoring the TH-cam name lol.
This was a really entertaining video to watch.
Battles like this prove why you're the Legend
Holy shit. I have been playing for 10 years. I did not know you could get them to run in yari wall.
What a title, what a thumbnail, what a channel.
legend you're truly a ken sai, a real battle genius
I always used stand and fight on capture point in siege defense, just to show the enemy how chad I am. LOL.
😂😂😂
If there is no enemy nearby your general while using stand and fight, he literally sits on a chair like a badass
This is some Three Kingdoms Stone Labyrinth level shenanigans
is this modded warhammer 3?
Yes
playing as nippon
@@LegendofTotalWar cathay is looking weird these days
Legend was quite lucky the AI didn't have pit of shades
did it look bether???
this is straight out of a Bollywood movie type tactic and i love it
Warhammer 3 Legend: we corner camp with cavalry.
Shogun 2 Legend: you are like little baby. Watch this.
*Corner camps in the middle of a map.*
Question: could the same maneuver have been done using Yari Ashigaru in a spear/pike square formation(IE no barricades)?
How about do the exact same thing but make those corridors twice as long?
Excelent. Legend of total Cheese. A masterpiece
I've only found this game playable with Darthmod Slow Mode. It might even be the best battles I've seen since the Roma Surrectum Slow Mode on the original Rome. It gives the units actually plausible survivability so you can (or have to more like) pull off tactical moves to actually do damage. Especially effective to keep some elite troops in reserve and put them to use once the enemy is exhausted.
Nothing more satisfying than using terrain and tactical reserves to defeat a much larger force, something that really isn't possible when 70% of both armies are dead within 2 and a half minutes.
It also captures that aspect where the majority of casualties come from routes, which makes it more standard that the winning force is still a viable force to go to a second battle immediately even if it was a 4k v 4k situation
man this game is perfect, this game is eternal.
Shogun battles are so much fun! Excellent cheese here
finally a staunch line of spears
If there is cheese, legend will sniff it out
When you thought you've seen everything from Legend, he pulls this off... LOL
I would always forget about the ability to create portable cover. I’ll never forget it now though.
"Be unflankable" - Legend of Total War
How do I send save files to other people? Because I have some disaster battles myself
This....This is the Epitome of Cheese. You truly outdid yourself here mate
can someone explain how this chokepoint abusing system works in game terms? does the number of allies and enemies in proximity have an effect on the calculations that decide if a model dies in a 1v1?
Nothing to see here - Just another ordinary day of being a legend
Legend is still fucking Legend doesn't matter wich Game
The Cheese God is in Shogun II now.
That's some Caesar level tactics right there
Still looks beautiful.
bro is making his mouse work overtime
Legend's brain actually requires extensive study
Are horse archers worth considering in Shogun 2?
Oda Nobunaga would be proud of you)
Damn that's some 300 iq battle from legend!
This is why you're called Legend.
Good shit, someone who uses the deployables
I love your videos man
This is like watching someone using bunker rush in starcraft, an structure meant for defense used in an agressive way,brilliant 😂😂😂
more like walling in strats, but i get what you mean ;)
ps: offense = defense, and defence = offence
A simple trick to get Stand and Fight where you want them is to first dismount the general before using it. He will deploy where he is standing but either way, I don't see it as feasible in this battle anyway
That Chosakabe joke
Brilliant
i am playing shogun 2 fall of the samurai now, i love this game. I bought it 8 years ago and never played it. I installed a mod that adds 3 morale to all units, it really makes it more fun. it's called "More Morale" on steam workshop lol.
Next week stacking shield walls at choke points in Atilla. My two fave tactics.
Can you make a box of the barricades except for the corners, force the enemy to trickle into your formations?
I once had almost a whole army retreat through my yari wall. One unit of spears had literally over a thousand kills.
I have a disaster campaign. It's my first campaign but even after I got better at the game I couldn't save it from disaster. How do I get him to try it out and maybe we can finally see him give up
what does stand and fight do?
This helps me see the games I wouldn't
"Yarricade" was right there...
