=== Absolutely Epic Character (05:06) ===

[00:00:02]  Greetings, valiant men, and welcome to Lustria.
[00:00:37]  There is one Hight-Storsterun sick cunt right there.
[00:00:42]  And obviously, glorious Prince Teklis of Ulthuan.
[00:00:57]  I want to aim a massive shout out and a massive thank you to Scion OF THE Emperor for gifting me this game so that I could make let's plays of it, highly appreciated indeed.
[00:01:15]  So this is dedicated to you, bro.
[00:01:53]  there is an extremely rare Pepe Frog who has transcended mortality epic, absolutely epic.
[00:02:11]  Now I have talked a lot about Warhammer 40k, about the Horus Heresy, but I have actually been a Warmer Fantasy bra for a lot longer than I have been a science fiction bra.
[00:02:24]  So this is familiar territory, and not the game itself because yeah, I just installed it basically, but it is familiar because I read a good amount of books from the Black Library that is set in warmer, fancy setting.
[00:02:41]  So we're gonna go into campaigns.
[00:02:44]  New campaign, heir of an Arian, Tyrion heir of an Arian absolutely awesome.
[00:02:55]  Yeah, we're gonna look through the different lords.
[00:03:02]  This is also a epic character and this is obviously the rare Pepe Frog, Heightestostron alpha male, also high testosterone alpha male.
[00:03:19]  Now, in my humble view at least, Malakith is the true heir of Ultuan and obviously high energy, and this is his modern, who is a bit degenerate, to be quite honest with everyone.
[00:03:39]  But, yeah, I suppose she is beautiful and powerful and all that.
[00:03:49]  And obviously also a high testosterone guy.
[00:03:54]  And this is a flag level sickening individual in its actual sense.
[00:04:02]  But anyway.
[00:04:05]  We're gonna start off with this absolutely epic character.
[00:04:12]  Gonna go with very hard, as is my custom when I make this let's place.
[00:04:17]  So we're gonna get straight into it and then I will elaborate more about my um to which extent I am a Warhammer, bro.
[00:04:29]  Alright, I will start a campaign and then I will let you enjoy the intro without my voice.
[00:04:47]  An enigma to men and dwarfs who know them as high elves at the center of the Great Ocean lies Althwal, a paradise created by the old ones.

=== Stellar Gates Collapsed (14:23) ===

[00:05:08]  But when the stellar gates collapsed, demons flooded the mortal plain.
[00:05:16]  All was lost until Anarion the Defender strode forth.
[00:05:24]  The first Phoenix king vanquished the demons with the aid of the Archmage Calidor Dragon Tamer.
[00:05:34]  It was Calidor and his elven mages who created the Great Vortex.
[00:05:44]  A swirling maelstrom that siphoned the excess magic, withering demon- With the world purged of chaos, the elves took it upon themselves to become guardians and stewards.
[00:06:09]  The twin-tailed comet is oft seen as an omen, but this time, its wake brought great peril.
[00:06:24]  The dragon with two tails flies lower than before.
[00:06:27]  Its trail disturbs the vortex.
[00:06:31]  I have felt a change in the winds of magic.
[00:06:33]  Then write it, brother.
[00:06:35]  Lead the mages of Saffiri.
[00:06:37]  Bring all in the White Tower to bear if you must.
[00:06:41]  Such lore is currently beyond us.
[00:06:43]  I suggest a scrying ritual in the pool of Isha.
[00:06:47]  It may provide us with the answer.
[00:06:49]  Such a ritual requires fragments of fallen waystones.
[00:06:52]  Far more than we have.
[00:06:54]  Then we find more.
[00:06:56]  Make ready your ritual, Lawmaster Talarion.
[00:06:59]  You will have your fragments.
[00:07:02]  I shall start the search in Lustria.
[00:07:04]  Lustria.
[00:07:05]  My brother will search here in Althwan.
[00:07:08]  Why do you care so much about the greater world?
[00:07:11]  Why do you not stay here, brother?
[00:07:14]  Protect Althwan.
[00:07:16]  But I venture beyond our borders.
[00:07:20]  You medal in far-flung continents.
[00:07:23]  I will ensure you have a home to return to That was intense I got a good amount of shivers watching that.
[00:07:45]  Absolutely love the aesthetics.
[00:07:47]  If you're watching that picture right there, Foa Myrin is all I really have to say about that.
[00:08:19]  The feet of the Phoenix King must not fall.
[00:08:22]  Finnobar has entrusted me to lead the counterattack.
[00:08:26]  Join my cause, brave Asur, and together we shall overcome.
[00:08:33]  The Druki cannot be allowed to despoil the sanctity of Alfwan.
[00:08:38]  Draw your weapons, and by Assurion's will shall we prevail!
[00:08:47]  The time has come to bring the word of enlightenment to these heretics.
[00:08:55]  Now, yes, I have played a bit of Waramash of War in the old world before, but first campaign here.
[00:09:09]  So bear with me if I make silly mistakes.
[00:09:13]  But spies within the occupied cities suggest that the Druki are on the hunt for ancient scrolls of power.
[00:09:21]  I am no sorcerer, but this is ill news.
[00:09:25]  They must surely be stopped.
[00:09:28]  Thou art correct.
[00:09:29]  We must immediately do so.
[00:09:34]  Alright.
[00:09:35]  Enhanced perfection.
[00:09:37]  I like that.
[00:09:39]  And that is to build an elven village.
[00:09:45]  Anyway, update on everything.
[00:09:48]  I will make more regular videos next week.
[00:09:51]  I just need to do some things and set up an epic place to record the regular videos.
[00:09:59]  So in the meantime, I thought to make some Let's Plays.
[00:10:01]  And then obviously, since I was gifted this earlier today, I thought was a reasonable course of action to jump straight into it.
[00:10:10]  And also because the game is new, and I know that a lot of Warhammer bras, both Fantasy and 40k are subscribed.
[00:10:21]  So it's and obviously a lot of guys who like Total War.
[00:10:25]  So and for me personally also always loved Warhammer, always loved Total War, so match made in heaven for me at least.
[00:10:35]  But if you do not particularly like gaming or if you're not really into it, don't worry, I'll be back to my regular videos soon enough.
[00:10:45]  But even if you're not into gaming, you can just relax and listen to my soothing voice.
[00:10:52]  I don't know if it's a soothing voice, but I hope so.
[00:10:58]  Now then, first things first, technology can't really do anything.
[00:11:07]  We need to build something fun first.
[00:11:12]  Right.
[00:11:14]  Hmm.
[00:11:15]  Okay, we must research some technologies.
[00:11:18]  How about diplomacy?
[00:11:20]  Relations with foreign powers may be managed through diplomacy, my lord.
[00:11:25]  Consider your situation carefully before accepting any agreement.
[00:11:30]  That guy, if anyone has a soothing voice, reminds me a bit about Esbern in Skyrim.
[00:11:37]  Alright, Ivres, you seem like decent, good elves.
[00:11:46]  Let us trade.
[00:11:47]  We can even have a military access.
[00:11:48]  Go.
[00:11:52]  I agree to your terms, though it causes me great pain.
[00:11:54]  Why would it do that?
[00:11:55]  We're trading on equal terms here.
[00:12:00]  Extremely silly of you.
[00:12:01]  Okay, Sappary.
[00:12:04]  My request, dear Ingmir.
[00:12:09]  But I am an Aser of Ultan, you extremely silly girl.
[00:12:16]  They don't really seem quite impossible.
[00:12:20]  Quite impossible.
[00:12:21]  Yeah, they didn't want to trade for some Azer Princess.
[00:12:28]  Phoenix Corn awaits your plea with interest.
[00:12:31]  Can I non-aggression pact, maybe?
[00:12:34]  And alright, let's do that.
[00:12:37]  What?
[00:12:38]  Blasphemy.
[00:12:39]  Trade agreement, then.
[00:12:42]  Foi.
[00:12:45]  Prince of Alfwan.
[00:12:47]  Oh, foi.
[00:12:51]  This is absolutely.
[00:12:53]  I can't.
[00:12:59]  I want to trade with you.
[00:13:00]  If you wish.
[00:13:02]  Coolest units in all of Warhammer, White Lions.
[00:13:07]  I will build some of them later, or recruit some of them later as we progress in this series.
[00:13:14]  Okay, and I don't really think anyone else wants to trade with me.
[00:13:17]  The Scourge of Cain.
[00:13:23]  I just want to see what it says.
[00:13:25]  I don't.
[00:13:26]  Never.
[00:13:28]  Never.
[00:13:29]  Okay, he doesn't like me.
[00:13:32]  But that's fine.
[00:13:34]  It is absolutely fine.
[00:13:36]  I want to bring the word to these heretics, but we're gonna need some more lads and archers are always fun to do battle with.
[00:13:51]  And that's that.
[00:13:52]  I suppose I'll take the turn.
[00:13:55]  And then the war is on the cult of excess.
[00:14:05]  That sounds like some degenerates.
[00:14:09]  And we can't have that, can we?
[00:14:12]  Dear true friends.
[00:14:15]  Speaking of the term true friends, I don't really use it anymore because no one understands what I say when I say it.
[00:14:21]  So people are wondering what are you saying in the beginning?
[00:14:25]  And they think I say something completely else, which is ill-considered.
[00:14:32]  Which is silly.
[00:14:36]  Ever loyal.
[00:14:38]  Ever loyal.
[00:14:39]  I like that.
[00:14:43]  Gonna go with one more unit of spearmen as well for optimal glory.
[00:14:49]  Gonna take another turn and see what this sick cunt is going.
[00:14:58]  Hopefully we can provoke a sort of battle.
[00:15:14]  So yeah, nice with some autumn gaming.
[00:15:19]  I hope thou all agreest.
[00:15:22]  Be wary, my lord, for the dark elves have been sighted.
[00:15:26]  These pitiless killers are as dangerous on the battlefield as they are treacherous round the table.
[00:15:31]  I advise great caution.
[00:15:35]  That is some good advice.
[00:15:37]  I will heed it, my friend.
[00:15:41]  I'm gonna bring the hit right now.
[00:15:45]  See what the crack is.
[00:15:48]  Boom.
[00:15:50]  Alright, let's do it.
[00:15:52]  I suppose a battle can be good in the first episode.
[00:16:07]  I think that is mandatory even for the first episode of a Total War Let's Play.
[00:16:15]  Last Total War Let's Play I made was one and a half years ago and I was the kingdom of Asturias in Attila commencing an epic reconquista of Iberia.
[00:16:30]  It was quite popular.
[00:16:31]  Let's play.
[00:16:31]  I hope this Let's Play also gets well received by you.
[00:16:39]  Alright, I will not deploy because I'm too cool for that.
[00:16:45]  No, I am merely jesting.
[00:16:47]  I will not deploy because they have the majority of their troops already.
[00:16:56]  I mean they're not here yet.
[00:16:59]  Look at that.
[00:16:59]  We have a phoenix.
[00:17:02]  How glorious?
[00:17:04]  Oh, and by the way, I need to expand my English vocabulary.
[00:17:10]  So I don't need to use glorious and epic to describe exactly everything.
[00:17:16]  But sometimes that's the only thing that can be used to describe certain things.
[00:17:22]  So if we admire these guys right here, that is quite epic.
[00:17:32]  I don't know if magnificent would be the right term to describe it.
[00:17:39]  But so yeah, I'll have to use epic and glorious too.
[00:17:45]  Until further notice.
[00:17:48]  God, they are getting absolutely wrecked.
[00:17:51]  Your troops will fire at will without orders to the contrary, Commander.
[00:17:55]  Have them conserve their ammunition, if you so wish.
[00:17:59]  Oh no, I like the Storm of Arrows.
[00:18:03]  It is quite satisfying to see this cult of excess.
[00:18:10]  They are as the name suggests.
[00:18:19]  They are pleasure-seeking hedonists, decadent degenerates.
[00:18:24]  So they need to pay with their lives.
[00:18:30]  I'm gonna speed up the battle a bit.
[00:18:33]  Okay, you could actually save some ammunition there until these guys come in to play.
[00:19:00]  Oh, right.
[00:19:05]  Yes, you can actually fire now.
[00:19:07]  Look at this now.
[00:19:15]  That, if anything, is brutal.
[00:19:22]  The enemy general is slain, my lord.
[00:19:26]  Cursing your name with it.
[00:19:28]  Very good.
[00:19:30]  Very good indeed.

=== Battle Orders Received (02:51) ===

[00:19:32]  Now, let us look at these guys.
[00:19:41]  Quite high energy, I must say, and I suppose they want to charge in my, my bowmen there.
[00:19:51]  So uh, we're gonna meet them up with our uh spearmen.
[00:20:03]  It shall be done.
[00:20:09]  Shield of the Everqueen. Shield of the Everqueen. Shield of the Everqueen.
[00:20:13]  All right, Rick'em lads.
[00:20:19]  Understood understood, orders received.
[00:20:23]  All right boom, get at him, lads.
[00:20:30]  Oh, our gallant hero ah, the aesthetics are on point.
[00:20:47]  There, we are all right, I'm gonna utilize my phoenix there.
[00:20:56]  I want to get in the flank to better utilize my...
[00:21:13]  Alright, let's try this.
[00:21:19]  See how he fares, see if we can stand these archers behind, behind their lines, and unleash hell would be quite strategic, I suppose.
[00:21:43]  Tyrion Tyrion, oh mighty prince, received death blow.
[00:22:08]  Asurian guides up archers.
[00:22:11]  All right, get him.
[00:22:12]  Lads, I think we should have this battle in our.
[00:22:21]  Oh, you can actually help them.

=== Battle in Ulthuan (03:20) ===

[00:22:24]  If you don't mind, lads, you can charge in the Dreadlord.
[00:22:48]  He will soon die.
[00:23:00]  I like this uh, this Phoenix tire.
[00:23:04]  Mighty lord oh, but we have won their ability to fight.
[00:23:08]  How nice, okay cool.
[00:23:12]  That was a good start to this.
[00:23:14]  This campaign yeah, feels good.
[00:23:19]  Dutch APG, most satisfying indeed.
[00:23:25]  Yes, as I said, I do believe that Malakith is actually the true heir of Altwan.
[00:23:39]  We're gonna occupy it because this is our land.
[00:23:42]  The Druki city and yeah, there's a really epic trilogy.
[00:23:53]  First book is called Malachith, second book is called Shadow King, which is probably one of the best books I've read.
[00:24:02]  I would say.
[00:24:03]  So always some book recommendations when in my videos.
[00:24:11]  But yeah, anyway, that's my thoughts on it because he was the son of Anerion, which was the first king of Ulthuan.
[00:24:20]  But he got cocked, so to speak, and he got exiled to Nagaroth.
[00:24:25]  So now he's planning his revenge.
[00:24:28]  And they have actually advanced the storyline of Warhammer to the great discontent of many hardcore fans.
[00:24:38]  For me, it was nice when they advanced the storyline, but I kinda like the Warhammer world as it was.
[00:24:44]  But you know, it is what it is.
[00:24:47]  Anyway, I think I will leave it there for this episode.
[00:24:53]  And comment glory to Turion, savior of Ulthuan, if you have watched this far.
[00:25:03]  Because always nice to see how the retention time is on these longer videos.
[00:25:09]  And I'm obviously humbled that you are participating and that you are with me in spirit as we commence this crusade campaign to restore glory to Ulthuan.
[00:25:25]  So anyway, really happy to be back in the Warhammer world and happy to be in a sunny place since it's so autumn weather outside, cold and raining, so it's nice to be metaphysically at least in another place.
[00:25:42]  But yeah, thank you for watching.
