00:00:00.000 Greetings my esteemed Laddingtons. First and foremost, shout out and thank you to my gallant supporter Jean for gifting me this game. Much appreciated indeed.
00:00:12.000 Now I have just come back from a good old grappling session and I will explain the importance of training for gaming. But before I do so I will just introduce the new DLC, the Sisters of Twilight. I actually remember these two twin sisters from back in the day.
00:00:34.920 So it's nice to see that they are now in the game. So they are the heralds of Ariel. That's the faction. So without further ado I thought to get into the game and we'll just have a look. So here we go. Start campaign. Boom.
00:00:52.680 Even the fierce defenders of the Wood Elf Kingdom cannot safeguard their realm from the disorder of the Great Vortex.
00:01:08.780 In the forests of Nagaroth a portal to the Dreaming Wood grows thin. We're beyond demons of age.
00:01:18.260 The forest grants Queen Ariel a dread vision. Of ancient trees blackened and broken. Of countless Wood Elves slain upon their twisty boughs.
00:01:36.500 For should chaos breach from their realm, the world roots will carry the demons to the very heart of Atheloreth.
00:01:48.260 Only Ariel herself concealed the dire portal. So sends her most trusted to cleanse the forest ahead of her arrival. Unaware that a vengeful enemy watches.
00:02:02.800 The Twilight Twins. A deadly fusion of Dawn's serenity and dusk's fury. They will not waver in their perilous quest.
00:02:17.460 The mage queen. Vulnerable for the first time in eons. But her hidden foe dare not strike directly.
00:02:28.240 A terrified skaven is persuaded to lure their twisted overlord to this cause.
00:02:34.500 Throt, Master Mutator of Clan Molder. How he yearns to be free of his unnatural, undying hunger.
00:02:48.740 Ariel's pulp remains would be a certain remedy.
00:02:52.280 A queen's implacable guardians oppose a creature of chilling madness. A brutal war is unavoidable.
00:03:03.560 The fate of the forest, undecided.
00:03:06.180 All right, absolutely epic introduction as always. And the voice of the advisor.
00:03:19.460 Perfect for the role. So, yeah, good stuff, good stuff.
00:03:23.920 And before you see some classic wood elf aesthetics, a certain primal fury to them that has always captured my imagination.
00:03:36.180 It is as our mistress says, Arahant. The weave here is dangerously out of balance.
00:03:42.900 Yet there is much prey. Glorious.
00:03:46.820 This is no game, sister. We must prepare for Ariel's arrival.
00:03:52.360 Purge the Witchwood's darkness. Restore its ancient glory. Strengthen the weave, etc., etc.
00:04:00.420 You handle the details, Nestra. I'll handle the slaughter.
00:04:04.460 Cease this childishness. If Ariel cannot seal the demon portal, annihilation awaits.
00:04:12.380 Don't be tedious, sister. You know I will never fail our mage queen.
00:04:17.540 At least these glades are rife with foul greenskins and beastmen to hold your quarrelsome interest.
00:04:25.460 Not to mention the druky fools. I so enjoy hunting those.
00:04:31.880 Then, for the future of our people, we must commence the cleansing, sister.
00:04:37.600 For the weave! For Ariel! For Athel Loren!
00:04:41.240 The very presence of these emerald horrors imperils our mission, Arahant.
00:04:49.800 Don't be so coy, sister. Just come out and say, let's kill thousands of orcs.
00:04:55.840 What matters is cleansing the settlement of threat, not your wearisome bloodthirst.
00:05:02.900 Alright, good stuff. I do like the aggressive sister.
00:05:07.640 Bonus point, because she said glorious in the introduction as well.
00:05:12.340 So, yes, they have different roles to play.
00:05:15.680 Yes, exactly. There are one calm sister and one more aggressive one that balance out each other, I suppose.
00:05:30.320 So, anyway, I thought to use this.
00:05:33.540 We're in Nagaroth, the homeland of the Dark Elves.
00:05:38.160 I wanted to talk a bit about something of utmost importance.
00:05:41.680 Of course, this isn't really something new, but I wanted to share the fact that I was quite excited to play some good old Total War again.
00:05:52.040 I haven't played in, well, since early summer.
00:05:57.200 So, yeah, I had looked forward to it, and I felt that it would be a good opportunity to do so when this DLC came out.
00:06:05.680 And I also thought I needed to earn it, so of course I can't just play without some good hard training.
00:06:12.760 So, therefore, I decided to do some grappling beforehand.
00:06:17.000 So, some good old technique, rolling, etc.
00:06:20.420 And this is also the attitude you must have when you approach gaming.
00:06:26.420 It becomes more fun to game when you have earned it.
00:06:32.660 Also because of strictly biological reasons.
00:06:35.700 You know, you feel better when you've trained.
00:06:37.380 You can relax with the game if you only are seated gaming all day.
00:06:42.780 Or if you are working, you know, a lot by the computer.
00:06:47.060 If you sit down a lot, it won't feel good to sit down even more.
00:06:50.860 So, be sure to train hard, then game.
00:06:54.240 I promise you the gaming itself will be much more fun, much more rewarding.
00:06:59.760 So, find a balance.
00:07:01.820 Now, anyway, speaking of Warhammer, Total War, we are here in the Witchwood.
00:07:09.580 And they have put in a good few mechanics.
00:07:12.200 I'm not going to go into the details because this isn't really a video about that.
00:07:17.020 But, I mainly wanted to have a look at the faction.
00:07:21.440 The forest is whispering.
00:07:23.360 And I also wanted to express my admiration for the wood elven aesthetics.
00:07:27.640 I have always had a certain skepticism towards guys who do not like elves.
00:07:33.820 We shall un-earth great relics.
00:07:35.960 So, what we can actually do, this orc.
00:07:40.020 The Sisters of Twilight.
00:07:42.040 We can actually initiate a little battle.
00:07:43.940 The enemy bring reinforcements to the fight.
00:07:47.020 Will an attack be wise?
00:07:49.940 Yes, because I need to make a good episode for my esteemed subscribers.
00:07:57.060 So, I need to.
00:07:58.980 Then I have to make sure to win as well, so I don't make a fool out of myself with my subpar strategic skills.
00:08:09.400 Your soldiers are ready to deploy for the...
00:08:12.320 Excellent.
00:08:15.240 Aha, we have a wizard.
00:08:17.140 And we can gamble.
00:08:18.040 Let's see if we can get some more magic.
00:08:20.700 No.
00:08:21.800 Gambling never pays.
00:08:23.360 Okay, that's the lesson for the day.
00:08:25.820 Now, let's, uh...
00:08:34.200 Be sure to position your troops accurately in battle, my lord.
00:08:38.300 Drag out your formations for best effect.
00:08:41.820 Bringing harmony.
00:08:43.120 Yeah-ha, this is actually not a dragon.
00:08:45.380 I suppose they will get the dragon at some later stage.
00:08:49.580 Alright, let's try to...
00:08:51.200 Sisters of Twilight!
00:08:53.220 Let's try to mog this, um...
00:08:55.320 Immediately!
00:08:56.240 I!
00:08:57.500 This bastard.
00:08:59.220 Quickly!
00:08:59.820 I have some good old glade guard.
00:09:05.420 Yes!
00:09:05.700 Trying to take this good position here.
00:09:11.640 Hopefully the orcs will, um...
00:09:13.740 You see, they run uphill.
00:09:15.420 Hopefully they can spend some stamina in doing so.
00:09:18.180 Eternal guard!
00:09:19.700 Some eternal guard.
00:09:21.180 Quite good, if I'm not completely mistaken.
00:09:24.500 And then...
00:09:25.880 Look at this.
00:09:27.480 Damn.
00:09:27.900 High, uh...
00:09:28.800 High Thumos.
00:09:29.840 Aesthetic.
00:09:31.780 Stag cavalry.
00:09:32.740 Wild riders!
00:09:33.660 Raiders of Apple Loren!
00:09:38.240 I have some hawk riders as well.
00:09:40.720 Um...
00:09:41.120 Hear the deep wood!
00:09:43.140 I do not have overly much, um...
00:09:46.000 Experience.
00:09:47.160 The high ground is yours, commander.
00:09:49.460 Be sure to use it to best advantage.
00:09:51.580 Well, thank you, yes.
00:09:53.820 Um...
00:09:54.460 Yeah, I'm not the most experienced playing with the wood elves,
00:09:57.800 but I suppose they're...
00:09:59.220 The enemy waver, my lord.
00:10:01.000 Similar enough to the high elves, which, um...
00:10:03.260 I would say is my, um...
00:10:06.360 My favorite faction.
00:10:09.880 We're gonna send off, uh...
00:10:11.980 Volley of Kurnos.
00:10:13.260 And Kurnos, being basically the same as the Celtic god, um...
00:10:18.360 Kerenunnos.
00:10:20.020 I think they have taken it from the Celtic mythology.
00:10:23.380 So, um...
00:10:24.480 Yeah.
00:10:25.220 It's not only fantasy.
00:10:26.600 The Warhammer world is deeply inspired by, um...
00:10:30.940 History and mythology.
00:10:37.500 Talon of Dusk.
00:10:38.720 Okay.
00:10:40.200 Let's, uh...
00:10:41.220 Ah, it's too...
00:10:42.700 Different there.
00:10:43.740 And this is better for, uh...
00:10:45.360 Infantry, which is, uh...
00:10:47.300 These orc boys are, of course.
00:10:48.960 Oh!
00:10:51.360 I, uh...
00:10:52.380 Made a...
00:10:53.060 A noob mistake.
00:10:54.960 These are supposed to be...
00:10:57.540 Uh...
00:10:58.300 Supposed to charge, not to just stand there.
00:11:01.860 We have...
00:11:02.780 Crixus.
00:11:04.340 Ah, that's a nice touch.
00:11:05.480 Crixus, the, uh...
00:11:06.060 Like the gladiator.
00:11:07.400 Crixus speaks.
00:11:12.620 The enemy attack your flank, Commander.
00:11:15.280 Drive them off.
00:11:18.000 Okay, so...
00:11:18.900 Wild rider.
00:11:20.180 Let's try to...
00:11:21.400 Let's try to charge something for...
00:11:23.780 For the lolos.
00:11:25.800 That's what we can do.
00:11:29.720 And now, what I will try to do...
00:11:32.600 Eternal guard!
00:11:34.860 Is...
00:11:35.380 Try to get a nice rear charge.
00:11:37.400 Of some sort.
00:11:40.880 Unless they turn.
00:11:43.260 Let's see.
00:11:44.520 Let's see what, uh...
00:11:49.400 Look at that.
00:11:51.940 That's how it goes.
00:11:53.640 When you try to defy the will of, um...
00:11:58.040 The Deepwood.
00:12:02.080 Dauntless Azrae!
00:12:03.740 I salute the, um...
00:12:06.120 Salute that saying.
00:12:07.400 Dauntless Azrae.
00:12:08.780 For Ariel!
00:12:13.760 Now, I will cycle this out, so they can charge again.
00:12:18.080 And when they charge again, I hope they can break the enemy.
00:12:21.940 You warriors tire, mighty lord.
00:12:26.720 Their exertions dull their ability to fight.
00:12:29.260 Now.
00:12:29.900 Give them time to rest.
00:12:31.480 Even amidst the thickest of battles.
00:12:34.100 There will be no rest at all.
00:12:35.940 They need to train their cardio.
00:12:39.320 And now, I will take these guys to the rear, so they can shoot straight in.
00:12:44.380 Ah-ha, they are already shooting straight in.
00:12:49.280 Um, good stuff, good stuff.
00:12:50.700 The enemy commander runs from the field, my lord.
00:12:58.020 And a sorry spectacle it is, too.
00:13:00.660 His army will surely follow.
00:13:02.240 Indeed, indeed.
00:13:03.860 It is a sorry spectacle.
00:13:06.080 Hurry!
00:13:06.480 Very well.
00:13:08.440 So, here we have a mage.
00:13:10.860 Attack!
00:13:11.420 And she has Wissens' Wild form, if I pronounce that correctly.
00:13:17.700 Which basically makes her tougher.
00:13:23.320 Okay, cool.
00:13:24.820 That was a good battle.
00:13:26.320 I will end it.
00:13:27.540 A close victory.
00:13:29.800 So, that is how a battle in Total War can look.
00:13:33.280 Perhaps not overly exciting.
00:13:34.960 You know, the most exciting ones are when you have gotten into the game a bit and maybe have a siege battle.
00:13:41.300 Victory is yours, my lord.
00:13:44.000 But what about the fate of those captured in battle?
00:13:48.540 It can be beneficial to hold them.
00:13:51.560 But sometimes leniency or brutality can be worth more.
00:13:58.140 Alright, so we can choose here.
00:13:59.540 Ariel grants clemency.
00:14:03.160 An arrow in the head.
00:14:06.180 I will go with the aggressive sister.
00:14:09.400 I think she is more high thumos.
00:14:13.740 So...
00:14:14.240 Serene, Nestor.
00:14:16.800 Defeating this army has benefited the local forest.
00:14:21.060 To help it heal fully, ensure that the surrounding regions are controlled by you or an ally.
00:14:27.900 Or simply raise them.
00:14:30.400 Hostile borders will always cause a forest to suffer.
00:14:34.800 That is noted.
00:14:36.680 Okay, so that's actually...
00:14:37.680 People that serve your cause gain experience over time, my lord.
00:14:41.540 Be sure to guide their development to your advantage.
00:14:46.200 Itching for fresh battles.
00:14:48.220 How I enjoyed that.
00:14:49.560 You have gained experience.
00:14:51.080 Right.
00:14:51.540 And may now develop your skills accordingly.
00:14:54.980 See for yourself.
00:14:55.920 Indeed, indeed.
00:14:57.900 But I will actually not do so at the moment.
00:15:00.940 Instead, I will just say that if you have a wood, you need to conquer the surrounding areas.
00:15:07.880 To optimize the hypertrophy you can get when praying in the Temple of Iron.
00:15:14.420 Okay, not really.
00:15:15.520 But it felt like saying something like that.
00:15:18.340 Anyway, I just thought to give you a quick look.
00:15:20.900 I also just wanted to give, yet again, mention my philosophy when it comes to gaming.
00:15:26.660 You know, you should incorporate it into an otherwise active lifestyle.
00:15:30.260 And again, I can promise you, it does feel better to game when you have, you know, exerted yourself physically.
00:15:38.640 So, anyway, good stuff.
00:15:40.220 Good stuff.
00:15:40.880 I will not make any more Let's Plays on it because, well, time is short.
00:15:46.620 And I want to make some other epic videos in coming.
00:15:51.700 But thank you for watching nonetheless.
00:15:54.540 And have a great rest of your evening or day or whatever it might be.
00:16:00.240 XXO.
00:16:01.040 Boom.
