Summary
In this episode of the Total War Let's Play podcast, we continue the tradition of having Let's Plays of Age of Sigmar, but this time with Warhammer 3.0. This time around, we have the introduction to the game, and a brief introduction of the new god, Slaanesh.
Transcript
00:00:27.060
It reveals the secrets of the past, the present, and what may come to be.
00:00:37.060
Most would think me fortunate to own such a book, but I can only use it in service to others.
00:00:50.060
It wakes, tormenting me once more, feeding on the mysteries of this world, unraveling them into opportunity.
00:01:34.060
Welcome to a Let's Play of Total War Warhammer 3.
00:01:38.060
Now, we have done Total War Let's Plays on this channel since 2014.
00:01:48.060
So, I thought to continue this fine tradition of perhaps not a full series of this game, because time is of the essence.
00:01:58.060
And I have some other videos planned, but I thought at least to show the game.
00:02:04.060
And, of course, show you the nice introduction you saw there, and the nice introduction you will see now.
00:02:16.060
I really enjoyed playing it, and I have made some Let's Plays of it as well, of course, which you might have seen.
00:02:24.060
Now, anyway, we will get straight into it with a new campaign.
00:02:36.060
This world has been sundered by a tide of arcane energy.
00:02:50.060
The Tome of Fate drew me north to find out why.
00:02:56.060
It guided me to a distant fortress steeped in blood.
00:03:12.060
In the shadow of a broken portal, the trail ended.
00:03:32.060
Yet he strayed from the path and was corrupted by chaos.
00:03:40.060
A single shot bound in faith forsaken pierced Urson's heart.
00:04:04.060
Beyond the maelstrom in the realm of chaos and the forge of souls.
00:04:48.060
And yet, the power of a dying god, there is no greater prize.
1.00
00:04:56.060
A mere drop of Urson's blood would break my curse.
00:05:08.060
But Urson is locked in the forge of souls, deep in the realm of chaos.
00:05:30.060
One to bypass the maelstrom and create a door into chaos.
00:05:40.060
One who is tempted by the power of the god bear.
00:05:56.060
Something I always appreciate with these total war games, the cinematics.
00:06:02.060
So, of course, we need to save the bear god from the vicious forces of chaos.
0.98
00:06:12.060
Which is what you see in this modern world of ours.
00:06:18.060
We have Kislev, which is based on good old Russia.
00:06:24.060
Then we have Grand Katai, which is based on good old China.
00:06:34.060
So Khorne is the blood god, stands for sheer aggression and violence.
1.00
00:06:40.060
Then Slaanesh, which if you have been with me for a long time, you have heard me say that the forces of Slaanesh.
00:06:50.060
So that's basically the god of excess and degeneracy.
00:06:54.060
Then Nurgle, of course, I mentioned before as well, the god of sickness and disease.
1.00
00:07:02.060
So when I say that I've been struck down by Nurgle, that's what I mean.
1.00
00:07:14.060
Because I bear the blessing of Apollo and because I garlic max and I take my zinc and vitamin D.
00:07:22.060
So that's how you can withstand the attentions of Nurgle to optimize your immune system.
0.67
00:07:28.060
Then we have Tsench, which is sort of like an evil god of knowledge, a trickster god, a god of scheming.
0.97
00:07:38.060
Now, of course, we won't be playing any of these because we need to fight the demons of chaos, both in Warhammer games and in our own world.
00:07:49.060
Now, of course, the demon that is perhaps most powerful in our age is Slaanesh.
1.00
00:07:56.060
So we can think of things such as Onlyfans and pornography.
00:08:09.060
So they are ogres that roam in great migrations and mog others by rampaging through the lands.
00:08:24.060
They are demons that aren't committed to any of these four main gods.
00:08:30.060
So this could be interesting as well, of course, but I think the only reasonable course of action is to go with Kislev here.
00:08:44.060
The name is most likely based on the Empress Katarina of Russia.
00:08:50.060
And you can see here some faction effects, some Lord effects.
00:08:54.060
So yeah, we don't need to read through all of this.
00:08:58.060
I'm sure she is a great character to play with.
00:09:12.060
I think all of my Orthodox Christian friends want me to choose this guy.
00:09:18.060
So as Supreme Patriarch of the Ursunite Faith, Konstaltin is one of the most powerful spiritual leaders in Kislev.
00:09:28.060
He is a howling, angry firebrand on the battlefield, urging his devoted followers onwards to fight and die in the name of the great bear.
00:09:38.060
I think we will actually go with this particular guy.
00:09:42.060
So he has minus 40 in diplomatic relations with the Ice Court.
0.69
00:09:48.060
But otherwise, devotion generated 10 from successful patriarch hero actions.
00:09:54.060
Sounds absolutely like something many of you would appreciate.
00:10:10.060
It's the only way to play if you're a true connoisseur of Total War games.
00:10:16.060
That's what I play in Total War Warhammer 2 at least.
00:10:24.060
I don't think the battles themselves are the nicest thing with the game.
00:10:30.060
But the civilizational development and trade and that sort of thing.
00:10:47.060
So you see the cavalry there with the wings behind Polish hussars.
00:10:52.060
At the icy grave of Kislev's most glorious leader, I found the one I seek.
00:11:09.060
There is no price he would not pay to save Ersan.
00:11:14.060
And with the death of Tsar Boris Berker, he alone has belief enough to perform this miracle.
00:11:21.060
It is a mercy that you cannot witness Kislev's desolation.
00:11:40.060
Yet instead of worship, the Tsarina dallies with frost magic.
00:12:13.060
Lies will not save you, disciple of the dark gods.
0.96
00:12:25.060
For one drop, just one, of Ersan's divine blood.
00:12:51.060
Our goal is to rescue Ersan, the god bearer of Kislev, from the clutches of Velikor.
1.00
00:13:08.060
And I will do all I can to guide the Kislevites to their lost god.
1.00
00:13:13.060
Mere moments are left to prove your profane book will aid my work and save Ursan, heretic!
1.00
00:13:27.060
Your grace, if you are to rescue Ersan, you must do so from a place of strength.
00:13:34.060
We do not have time to persuade, so must chastise those hostile to us.
00:13:40.060
Wipe out the Ungol kindreds, and cede their settlements with followers who share the ideals of the Great Orthodoxy.
1.00
00:13:49.060
Further to the east, an even more despicable threat lurks.
0.99
00:13:58.060
If we are to welcome Ursan back to the motherland, such abominations must be purged.
0.98
00:14:09.060
Allies can be found in the proud city of Prague.
00:14:13.060
They have had their fill of heretics and deviants,
1.00
00:14:17.060
so will welcome your sermons and scrutiny by the Orthodoxy.
00:14:26.060
She claims the capital and defiles the once great palace of her revered father.
00:14:32.060
These towns fall under the Ice Queen's influence, but can be won over,
0.89
00:14:38.060
or trodden underfoot, if they refuse to see the truth.
00:14:43.060
And in the southwest, lie the lands of the Empire.
00:14:48.060
Weaklings who have taken Kislev's protection for granted.
0.99
00:14:53.060
Perhaps it is time to punish the ungrateful, or see if they are willing to be converted.
0.96
00:15:00.060
So, you see, your grace, we have many heretics to slay.
0.99
00:15:06.060
But be ready, for when the time is right, we shall fight our way into the Chaos realm itself.
00:15:13.060
Heathens that stray from the teachings of the great Orthodoxy surround us.
1.00
00:15:23.060
Punish such unbelievers with fire and fury.
1.00
00:15:26.060
All right, we are in the game after yet another epic cinematic.
0.99
00:15:37.060
And we need to purge these heretics from the realm.
0.99
00:15:45.060
So just having a look here at the overall graphics and feel of the game.
00:15:57.060
And some wood elves. The Witch's Wood we have here.
00:16:02.060
So just having a look here. Looks good, looks nice.
00:16:50.060
So had it been a bit more even, the odds I would have played it out manually.
00:17:00.060
But now, since we outnumbered them quite a bit, I will just auto-resolve here.
00:17:43.060
And then I suppose we can go on to conquer these...
00:17:48.060
Your victory will bolster the hearts of believers across Kislev.
00:17:53.060
Followers of the Ursunite cult shall flock to the church's cause if you summon them.
