On the grapeshot cannons: No, the rune of burning is not why they are overpowered. They are overpowered because they are REALLY overpowered. That Ammo train mission was hard carried for me with just the cannons. Single target the big stuff, and then when they tried to cross the bridge I switched to grapeshot and took out the entire army in about 2 or maybe 3 salvo's with 4 cannons.
Cannon adventure was the first adventure I took because it made the most sense objective-wise. I quit the campaign at turn 15. I was playing as aggressive as possible and was under no threat ever, it was the least challenging campaign I've ever tried. In most of the battles 90% of the enemies were dead from cannons by the time Spirit of Grugni was summonable. At least with Ikit or Elspeth I felt like those upgrades got stronger over time so i got something to look forward to. With Malakai's cannons I didn't feel like playing anymore when at turn 7 I'm getting a doomstack. Maybe if I went Gyros i would've had more fun
Sorry, but not sorry, you see, clearly saying sorry did not work. When it does not work, the pain then arrives. Do not push us past the sorry stage. lol
I love how derpy autoresolve is, it looks at an army of mostly orc laborers against the fucking royal air force and is like best I can do is a valiant defeat.
@@roslolian11 Its actually remarkably fair on any difficulty in WH3, if anything it favors the players some. Its hard for them to judge some though because all gun armies in the AI hands are very very bad, they get rushed down quickly. Traditionally gunlines get shut down by a single unit breaking through, and require a lot of careful planning on laying them out. So if it runs a quick battle sim without seeing any frontline units it just assumes they'll get rolled over and cant fire. Malekai is barely a campaign anymore though he's so overpowered.
One thing I learned, I believe it was from LegendOfTotalWar, is that spells like regen spells/abilities that are on a timer still trigger on the 0th second. So in actuality, you gyrocopters should be getting 30% extra hp since it heals 30% total from that adventure bonus.
Malakai: *kills every surrounding neighbour, both friend and foe, Kislevite and Chaos, using just his brains, brawn and technological innovation* Khorne: *begrudging nod of respect and approval*
Malakai was never a coward. He just thought the Slayer Oath was a relic of a different time and a symptom of the decline of the Dawi. He took the Oath because he was forced to, but he never intended to follow through because he thought it was wrong for ANY Dawi to seek death. There's few enough of them already and he wanted them to grow with the times. Hence why he and Franz got along so well
"I feel like our people are a dying breed because of relics like the Slayer Oath." "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION OUR TRADITIONS? THAT'S GOING IN THE BOOK!" "The book is also an outdated relic that holds us back by not allowing us to move on from the past." "THAT'S GOING IN THE BOOK _DOUBLE!"_
How so? A gun is anything man portable that ejects a projectile unless it engages a self contained propellant system, then its a launcher. Doesnt explicitly require explosive propellant because railguns, BB guns and bowguns (crossbows without the cross part just a compacting spring and rail) are still guns. They arent a rifle or a firearm, but they are a gun and an arm that fires fire.
@@deathninja16 they are literally drakeGUNS tbh they are a sort of napalm or phosphorous like projectile. yes they are alchemical based, but blackpoweder is that too.
Gun- "a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise" so as long as there is a projectile with mass and something akin to an explosion to propel it, its a gun
4:04 the only downside for the airship encamp is that it doesn't provide ambush protection; however, an airship doomstack doesn't care late game about ambushes
Having played this campaign myself a few times, the cannon doomstack is STUPIDLY OP. However, it's outpaced by the Thunderbarge doomstack. You literally cannot lose. Four full stacks of dragons? Ignored. Four full stacks of max level doomstacks of anything? It will win, handily.
Facts. I once sent around 6 of those things into a settlement and within moments of reaching firing range three enemy units were routing, another was half-dead, and the wall had been knocked down by complete accident. I didn’t even know their main guns could damage walls until then. Honestly, they could use a nerf, but you won’t see me complaining to CA about it. The only weaknesses I can see from them are their cost, their autoresolve performance, and the fact they can’t land, which isn’t really that bad compared to their damage output. Honestly, all you really need are 3 or 4 before your army becomes nigh unstoppable.
Props for using the Fodlan Winds theme towards the end. Really tied the whole ‘demolishing enemy armies with almost zero effort while listening to epic music’ thing together.
Ikkit on a nearby mountain with a stack of scribes: 'write-scribe that down, we take-steal and make even better yes-yes' In other news people are finding empty shipwrecks on land now.
finally a video showcasing what ive been saying since tod dropped. everyone was complaining about the thunderbarge, but the campaign is over long before you get to recruit them, gyros just destroy early to mid game.
I'm gonna wait for the Skulls for the Skull Throne event to see if I can grab it on a sale but I can't wait to try this campaign. Malakai, Gotrek, Felix and Ulrika are gonna save the world baby. Shame that Max and Snorri aren't around to help but, oh well, I'm sure they will make an appearance when Thanquol rears his ugly head from... wherever he is hiding it.
I found your channel back when you did your empire guns only campaign. Wow you've grown a lot since! Happy to see you doing well and to watch another based gunpowder campaign haha
18:25 this army was spawned by the khorne adventure, where you can either kill the champion of khorne or the other 3 champs, but yeah if you don't complete it or clear them they just vibe, probably the nicest chaos fellas out there
Some ideas (since was browsing the different rosters) kislev - spiders grand cathay - sky lanterns nurgle - flies slaanesh or dark elves - daemonettes empire - flagellants tzeentch, beastmen, norsca or high elves - chariots dark elves - animals only skaven - plague monks tomb kings - carrion vamp coast - syreens or mournguls vamp counts - mortis engines
So just to clarify; Flame throwers do count as guns. Sure they may spray a type of flammable liquid at the target, but that is still in the classification of a gun. Though in the case of Flame Cannons, it's a much easier sell. Cause it has the word "Cannon" in there. That is just a big and angry gun. In short, even if it belches flame it's a gun all the same!
Lorewise it kinda makes sense that malakai, and by extension the other ranged slayers, use powerful guns, as the skayer oath states that you must die fighting a worthy foe, but you must do so by giving it your all and fighting your best, so if say a thunderer or artillery team had to take the oaths, their all would be turning the enemies into swiss cheese while hoping one is strong enough to endure and kill them Actually kinda sad when you rhink about it
the whole slayer oath itself is kinda sad. like becoming a dragonslayer, or a demonslayer, may come with a level of prestige and awe for any other race, but its a massive mark of disgrace for a Dawi, cuz it means even a damn dragon or demon wasn't enough to let you fulfill your oath.
“That might be part of why they’re overpowered.” No, that’s just kinda how the Grapeshot Cannons work. It’s balanced out by their value also usually coming from turning your own frontline into paste as well.
True, your front line is either hero's (which will get hit) or none at all..... cause if you had one, the cannons just fire "To who'm this may concern" volley's be it your front line, the enemy, and they have grudges against air in general too.
I'm always shocked how similar the music choices you have in these videos is to my typical vibe. More than once I had to check if I had my music playing in the background lol.
Fun fact, Malakai's adventure units have special effects different from normal units, the cannons have the "Dig in" abbility that increses their range if they stay still and the Thunderbarges have 0 upkeep for example
"As long as I have all the territory and all the gold, I don't care what they think." Bro's dwarf straight up turned into Putin, only he's actually winning battles (for now).
I got a few ideas for my own dwarven campaigns now: 1) ranged only with grombrindal (including artillery and war machines) 2) slayers only with ungrim (can take the goblin hewer as well) 3) regular rangers and bugman’s rangers and miner’s (+satchel charges) only challenge with grombrindal (again). Try to restrict myself to using only lords and thanes
Love seeing this guy's content! Always a great day when I wake up and see what new silly shit he's been working on ❤ Can't wait to see what new Warhammer 3 shenanigans you come up with next!
Airship encampment: Although the airship may stay in the air perpetually, I reason that they still need to drop boots on the ground to gather local supplies, food, and fuel.

Malakai is the only Dwarf to ever look at the slayer oath and go "doesn't say I can't just shoot everything before they get close enough no does it."
if it cant tank a bullet it wouldn't be strong enough to end him anyways...
@@sunshinekreu7684fill something with enough metal and sooner or later it’ll stop moving
He takes his slayer oath as more of a suggestion
Mostly how the slayer oath works for him is he makes really dangerous weapons that he used to kill monsters
"A death from a mechanical mishap is a worthy doom! And if it isn't my doom, at least I get to slay the enemies of the Karaz Ankor."

The grape shot cannons were bugged with projectiles having 3 size instead of .3 like the empire does, in the latest hot fix they fix the cannons.
@@robertcerniglia2616 They're still super strong
They still ruin anything they target
To be fair that's very faithful to the tabletop game. Cannons were always sort of bullshit.
Malakai isn’t OP he’s just smart enough to use a gun, and if that doesn’t work… he uses more gun!
For the rare cases where that doesn't work either, he uses a big friggin gun. With axeblades.
Practical solution to practical problems.

Oh yeah and it's not just the rune of burning. They can do that kind of damage from turn 5 when you unlock the adventure and then never fall off.
I love how derpy autoresolve is, it looks at an army of mostly orc laborers against the fucking royal air force and is like best I can do is a valiant defeat.
It's because he is playing on hard difficulty.
@@roslolian11 Its actually remarkably fair on any difficulty in WH3, if anything it favors the players some.

so as long as there is a projectile with mass and something akin to an explosion to propel it, its a gun
Gotrek and Felix plot armor so thick you can't even tell them to fuck off from your army.
Felix' plot armor eventually wares off though.

So it is a dwarven A-10.
