"Paint the map" - Malekith 1:30:01, as he takes the last settlement. You've earned your name Legend. How you do this without going insane is a mystery.
Balance has nothing to do with whether or not there are exploits. I hope they never fix this kind of thing, because for some of us, it's a fun alternative way to play. Seeing as how it's all solo campaign, there is no harm to anyone.
@@stefanjasovic2311 Because "perfectly balanced game with no exploits" is usually in every Spiffing Brit title (which of course in itself satire ... sometimes), but that seemed to have gone over saltedllama's head, and yours apparently. 🤔But I hope this explanation helps a little into the insight of the original comment?
@Lord Valinar it's not sarcasm if it isn't true at all. A perfectly colorful game with no exploits wouldn't work for example. Because the two are unrelated
Congrats to the people who called this one out and well done Legend. Your reasoning around how to make this video was very sound. I certainly would be bored if you make this into full play through. This is very neat video.
Truely impressive, not only in terms of thoroughly figuring out game machanics, but also demonstrating the stubborness to go through with the grind. Great job!
That's crazy and surprisingly interesting. With your last battle, I also learned that by clicking on the lord name of reinforcing armies you could give them their own banners. I didn't know that even though I have played more than 2k hours on Total War Warhammer games. 😅
i'm imagining malekith stroll up, completely alone, into the high elf capital, the last remnants of civilization hiding in their houses mad with fear from 2 men fucking up the entire world. malus chilling somewhere behind malekith, letting him have his big moment, proud of himself and his bro finally achieving their dreams
In 2050: "hello guys this is legendoftotalwar, welcome to another guide of turn 1 full map completion with Tretch Craventail, i will only be using skavenslaves"
I had a lot of fun figuring the exploits out after your community posts, actually thought through most of the challenges apart from the gates and the bugged settlement. I'm very impressed by your patience, seeing this one through to the end.
I really appreciate this, must've taken ages to edit as well. Absolute madlad, good stuff Legend! The phoenix suddenly dropping into Tyrion and Malekith's duel was pretty funny.
This is a great video. I have to say that I really like how Legend has evolved as a person. Stopping the livestreams really did him good. Wouldn’t mind if he did a livestream every now and then covering something new but content like this is great.
@@jackback70 while the livestreams were great during Covid and general lockdowns he was tired from doing it a long time and combined with the lower viewer numbers and several other reasons it was doing more harm than good to him. So he stopped them altogether and just makes content again
I like to imagine what this would look like to the AI seeing everything get occupied in 1 turn. First thought is Malus as a purple blur (like when Fry had his 100th coffee) zipping around the planet turning everyone into a cloud of red mist.
That was fun, thanks for taking the time. These sorts of "do extreme thing" with games are always at least a little interesting to plebs like me, get to see all the tricks.
Videos like this are why I subscribed all those years back. Hope we can get a first 20 turns or starting goals for specific factions soon! The videos you made on some WH2 starts are the only reason I was able to get through the early game back in the day.
He’s not interested in those as the game is likely going to change quite a bit. Once things settle (couple years maybe) then he’ll start doing that again.
Legend hands down this is some of the best content of yours I've ever watched. It's like all of the best parts of live streams in a concentrated package that you actually seem to be enjoying! Absolutely fantastic work and I'm so excited to see what you have planned next!
@@laserlights9684 Han Empire was super easy, at least on launch. You start with super duper elite army that can steamroll rebellion. It can't replenish but honestly who cares, you won't take much loses anyway.
Man I checked the whole stream with awe. This is truly legendary the amount of patience you have to do something like this. You are truly a legend of the game! Thanks for al the good times
Legend: "Miao Ying is a better one (wo)man doomstack than Malus since she can take on 4 armies at once without taking damage." Malus: "And I took that personally."
That last battle reminded me of the first time i played total war warhammer 1. Had no idea what i was doing and had really only taken the lands in my immediate vicinty ( didn't realise levelling up lords was important, was playing more like it was a civ game) then Kholek and archaon showed up and absolutely gaped me lol.
I use to watch your Shogun 2 videos back in the day. You taught me a lot about the game. Before I literally use to just build multiple armies of yari ashigaru and auto resolve every single battle.
The sad part is someone at CA is probably working to patch this exploit just because they don't want people to "map clear on turn one" despite the fact that this is awful and no one would willing do it unless they are just completely cheese obsessed. Great work as always Legend, it was fun to watch you turn Malus Darkblade into Malus Godblade.
What a madman. I kinda knew about the movement bug with the recruit save load thing, since I think you showed it off in one of your other videos, but I don't think I would have guessed Malus. Good work!
I'd bet "Malus Darkblade" and "Malus Darkblade on Spite" are different entities, and actually trade places when you switch mounts. That'd explain why the game forgets you occupied a settlement, since the LL who did so is no longer leading that army. Would swapping Lords entirely still work?
30:16 an instict kicked in, and it looked like even Legend's subconscious decided "no point building..." before he had a chance to consciously realise "no end turn anyway" xD
Fuck me this is insane. Legend I remember when you brought out your blitz campaign on medieval 2 with the Turks. I didn’t think you could even play the game that way back then I was just a fucking kid lol. Ggs man glad you’re still doing TH-cam
Global domination in a single turn. GodofTotalWar more like! And as the video I've been looking forward to for ages is getting better I have a shitty 2 hour meeting! Curses!
Been so excited for this, will edit when finished watching! Edit 1: Holy shit! The cheese! I love it! Time to watch it happen Edit 2: Jesus, congrats legend. You are truly a legend of total war. Thank you for all your effort, you deserve every ounce of success :)
I got exhausted by simply playing vampire counts and losing to people in 19 skeletons battles and having to raise an army every turn with the raise dead mechanic. and there is this guy clearing the whole map in 1 turn with a ton of reloads 💀
This was, insanly cool. For the whole video I imagined Legend as some godly entity trying to conquer the whole world on a single day using time shenaningans. Was brilliant, very very good job Legend.
I gave up on doing it but I got to around 30 hours in before I got bored doing this a while back, though I didn't know of the mount way. The other way to do this (with an army) is do the old loyalt exploit. Switch two units to a secondary army until they are 2 loyalty (over and over, if they hit 1 loyalty just keep getting them units over and over till they hit 3), try to disband one unit and they'll rebel, you then replace this lord with a new lord from the recruitment pool, even if you run out of lords one is generated. However, on turn 1 rebels aren't created as opposed to turn 2 and beyond. So this new lord and any troops, even post-occuping have full movement again. Then use the recruitment (recruitment a unit and load the save), disband the unit and it resets movement. Ironically, alongside Malus being a one-man stack, he's the only character that can do this (hypothecially) as Lokhair would eventually run out of room as the Black Arks provide the recruiting space out of your terrority, as they are the only lords that start with a black ark. This method is better although I guess you can use both, as the loyalty and recruit/load exploit gets limited by ability to recruit in areas outside Black Ark recruiting range and settled-settlements which won't have the option to recruit on turn one, anyway. For example you cannot win on turn 1 as you'll get bogged down in areas like the Northern Wastes and Cathay due to their riducilous province size, although the mount-movement exploit fixes that I guess!
Its nice to also use this as a way to show which continents are easier early game to deal with than their late game counterparts cause you just sweeping through them shows generally how easy they were to do or deal with. Lizardmen late game and Elf late game are two totally different tanks in their own right (outside dwarfs as well). So its interesting to see that they are just so much of a pushover early game in comparison... though does make me wonder which of the legendary lords Malis would struggle with the most at level 1.
