Balthasar Gelt Campaign

9 hours of Gelt? Solid gold!

This is much better than livestreams. No mouthbreathers asking the same question 1000 times per stream because they are lazy to rewind 5 minutes when he already answered. No trolls trying to get Legend cranky with unrelated/political questions.
Pure 100% cheese, just like my grandma used to make.

I like this format Legend, this is a real improvement.

Thank you for your hard work, and releasing these two campaigns within a short period of time. I’ve missed these types of campaign play throughs!!

I adore how in these letsplays Legend loses his sanity, speaking in that nerdy voice. So many opportunities to do it, too.

Hope the new format works out for you Legend! I prefer this style, I feel like you get to explain things and talk along with what you're actually doing vs answering random questions and getting distracted(not even on a good topic or something you want to talk about). Sometimes the questions and suggestions are good, but a lot of the time they aren't.

Kairos would be nice. He is able to prepare his own spellbook in every turn.

This is a lot better than a livestream, Legend. No replying to the same question every 5 minutes, just straight up 9 hours of pure gameplay. Keep it up!

I love Gelt, would like to see any Lizardman but primarily Kroq-Gar. I also like this format because it is strictly about the game and no trolls telling you your doing it wrong :D

Fuck yes!! Please more of these. I have missed the campaign gameplays so much. I'm ok with it not being livestreamed, honestly the viewing experience was better without having to stop and answer chat every 3 seconds. Would love to see a chaos dwarf or Archaon campaign.

Thank you, Legend! Enjoying this format! You get to game, and we get to watch and hear your thoughts as the campaign progresses uninterrupted. I hope this format works for you and you enjoy it, I know I am!

I prefer these Premieres because your chat is generally extremely toxic with 50% of people seemingly there to bait you into saying something you'll regret so they can post it on Reddit or derail it into talking about politics or comparing something in game with real world politics and it just becomes draining to watch. The only minor issue I have is the countdown intro RUclips puts on these has an extremely loud piece of terrible keyboard music, not sure if this is customizable to either remove it, turn the volume down or change what the music is but its so much louder than the actual video (obviously you can skip ahead to avoid it if you're watching AFTER the premiere).

Legend I really appreciate this long form content. I would love to see some challenge runs or fun themed campaigns in the future!

Thank you for the second campaign. Love this format and can’t wait to watch all this. Arbaal with both of the debuffs on at all times could be a fun challenge to see and a wide variety of enemies and LLs to kill

I'm really enjoying this format, hope you keep it up!

Thank you for the longer content. I really appreciate it.

Another great video! Play whichever campaigns you'd like, but putting my vote in for a chaos dwarf campaign!

This is what I was missing in any guide of tww3. A gameplay with someone actually explaining and showing how to win with. Much better than the livestreams. Much better then the useless talk about stuff that you can just read on the internet.
Please do either Kairos The Fateweaver or Chaos dwarf (for me any lord from chaos dwarves)

THANK GGGOOOOOODDDDDDD i hate the distractions from livestreams i miss the old campaign videos

Perfection, I love the full focus on the campaign, no more annoying trolls in your streams. Keep it up!

I want to see you play Kairos and just make it the cheesiest, most tzeentchian campaign you can manage. I think it could be fun to see!

A kairos game utilizing the cults to change his start might be fun!

I love this format legend, keep them coming! Regarding what campaign you play next, I honestly don't care.
I just love filling my evenings with some good old LegendofTotalWar livestream VODs :D

Ahhhh pure content. No moronic mouth breathers in chat.

I'd enjoy seeing Kairos' new mechanic covered by you in one of these

“Welcome to Cathay, gentlemen. I will not lie: the chances of your survival are assured. Some may even be awarded close victories as janky outcomes. But you have my word, that I will use my cheesy gifts to ensure your enemies are given unto Morr’s garden…”

I would like to see a Kairos campaign. See how you deal with the painful start, and the new Kairos choices.

Love this format. Seeing how absolutely masterfully you played a shell-game with those settlements in the empire was incredible. I'd love to see you on kairos, this playstyle with the addition of the transfer settlement power sounds very entertaining.

been missing these videos legend, appreciate chu boo 😘

long form content is great, these campaign videos are perfect.

Definitely in favor of a Kairos campaign next! Love playing Tzeentch but always have trouble with the Kairos start - would love to see you tackle it.

I usually watch vods from streams on 1,5x speed just to skip all chat interaction, but these series are pure gold I am constantly checking timer just to know that this video won’t end this is satisfying af, I am looking forward to maybe some dwarf/wood elf content but I will consume any cheese that Legend will throw at me

Thanks for this format, really enjoyable! I just love seeing how you navigate your own campaigns, so much to learn!

I feel like a kairos campaign would be interesting next, mostly because i want to see the changes but don t want to play in the southern chaos wastes myself. Another interesting option would be skragg or goldtooth since iirc they got some slightly unique stuff with omens of destruction

Love the new format for campaigns keep up the good work Legend.

Way better than livestreams imho. Love this format! Next campaign tiktakto / volkmar/ mannfred. That general area with wurzzag now seems to be very volatile and could be interesting. These campaigns may be also interesting with a side challenge or kind of "lore" based objective, mannfred getting the building on drakenhof castle or something like that for instance

Great stuff, Legend, to have a substitute for the live streams. Glad to see you are happier this way

Looking forward to the next one! I love, that I can just continue where I left off, just as with the old VODs.

What a delight. I played my own Gelt campaign a while ago and ended up having two saves, one for the Empire and one for Cathay, never thought about your specific approach, to confederate Toddy or some other wanker that's staring down the barrel.
Looking forward to the next entry. I personally would like to see some Bretonnia faction (pls no Rapanse) and wouldn't mind you going 1000% cheese in the next one. Cheers mate!

I wish I wasn't so busy but I'm glad you are releasing this long form content. My favorite total war dude

much better than a livestream, again. lol Keep it up legend, loving the new format

Big love for this content Legend! I am happy with any campaign, would be interesting to see Kairos, but I would also like to see you play Skaven :D Legend + Skaven = best time (I REMEMBER YOUR THROTT CAMPAIGN, that turn 3 wooooweeee)

I really enjoyed this premiere. As for suggestions:
I think it's been a long time since we had a Wood Elf campaign so I'd suggest an Orion campaign.
Alternatively you could show off one of the new lords, and I suppose I'd suggest Gorbad of those.

Every time I watch your campaign or livestream videos, I can't help but feel like you're just cruising through, you're just that good! Would love to see you take on some tougher challenge runs sometime, I bet you'd crush them too.

I really would enjoy a tomb kings campain or a nurgle one. But lets be honest. Im gonna watch the next one no matter what it is..

The main reason I would have liked a part two for Kislev is because it felt like a rather abrupt end. I completely agree with the sentiment of only playing if you're having fun but I would love if you would play to a natural stopping point. P.S. love the new content :)

First: love long-form video over livestreams (still like livestreams, but like every other streamer, recurring and/or dumb questions detract from them, especially when you're trying to give tips and tricks throughout the whole thing).
Second: I'd appreciate a Chorfs long-form vid, partially because I'm just starting to learn how to play as them and would appreciate the first 20-50 turns from your POV to see how to manage their economy and buildings better. I'm doing fine as is and steam rolling thoroughly into turn 60 as the dominant force, but I certainly was not the most effective with my factory/settlement/tower spread in all regions, which delayed my snowballing to like turn 30 or 40.
Any campaigns you choose to do next, I'm all for, though.

Really enjoy these premier videos, just personally easier to engage with as a shift worker.
Thanks Legend for more long form Vids

So this is pretty much Legend going back to roots. Was recently watching your old Attila vids, this type of content is very welcomed.

Thanks for another Campaign video Legend! I would like a lizard men campaign next.

Love the format! Would love to see Kairos next, or maybe Helman Ghorst?

I recently got into warhammer, thank you very much for these videos, it taught me so much tbh, youre great!

You've mentioned not having played Kairos yet, nor trying out any of the Tzeentch changes, so a Kairos campaign could be good.

Hi Legend. I just wanted to say that I really like this format of you doing pretty much the same as in a live stream just not live. I do enjoy streams but it always kinda bugged me that so many people, consciously or unconsciously, pushed your buttons and the conversations became somewhat heated. It was visible that you didn't enjoy it that much and would have rather spent energ on other things but obliged anyways because it's what you do, IMO.
So I really like seeing the content with you being more relaxed. Thanks for bringing your campaigns again.
Much love to the to you and the family

Love this format, Legend! Would love to see a Beastman campaign. Whichever you'd enjoy most!

Really glad to see sooo much campaign playthroughs. I personally interested in chaos dwarfs again, maybe even Drazhoath again. But all long videos really velcome

Ooooh and simple goals just like reclaiming The Empire are always nice ways to spice things up and don't detract much from just the usual gameplay as is, but it's certainly fun to have :)
Loving the vids! Especially because you're having a fun time without any BS.

I am loving seeing you actually portray your love for the game, unlike how you tend to seem during a lot of your livestreams. It always felt like you were being bogged down by negative chatters and weren't able to focus too well on providing the entertainment you wanted to.

I think this format work really well - 8hrs in usually sees you pretty set to be fair.
Dark Elf would be fun to see again, although I appreciate they are not your favourites.
Lizard Men / Vampire Counts 😊
However can watch anything you play so keep enjoying what you’re doing as we will enjoy watching. Thank you for your content.

This type of video reminds me of the episodic campaigns of Warhammer 2, those videos were great, thanks for the content Legend

Thanks bud. I always struggle with the scaling of combat in this game and your streams are a great roadmap.

Love this format! Thanks, Legend!

For your next campaign premier I’d like to see Kairos, Queek, any wood elf LL or Belakor! But obviously I’ll watch whatever is decided!

Legend campaign video, my day is saved!

LegendofTotalArtoftheDeal haha, watching you do diplomacy shenanigans is so sick

I prefer the pre-recorded for posterity reasons. Going back to old livestreams and hearing Legend vs chat isn't great.

Loving this format. Great to have tou back

You should do a full cheese campaign. It would be funny to see you completely break the game lol.

great to see long form videos again legend! Hoping the community agrees enough for more to come!

I really like this format :) Please do a Kairos campaign. I would really like to know how to survive the forst 30 turns.

Love these longer playthroughs and this one is spicy. Would love to see a clip from later on if you keep it going so we can see the cheese in its full glory (like seeing the sack city with your kislev campaign for supporters - can't believe I didn't think of that)

missed these stream campains, and finally in 1440p! Glad to have you back
But would be amazing if its a stream + web cam again, had such amazing cozy vibes (once thats okay for you ofc)

The speed on Simon 4:34:16 is unreal😂😂

Love these play throughs offline Legend. Would love to see more 8-10 hr videos :)

Ive actually retried out Kairos after the patch. *Way* better than during the IE beta when I played him before. Swapping out spells between battles is really handy, or just having no spells that you wouldn't use. Overall pretty strong. if you play him super optimally I would watch that.

TARIFF'S ON EVERYONE!!!! As an American, I had a good laugh at that one! Gotta be able to laugh at yourself :D

Extremely good content legend! I love this types of videos

Love the new format on these past 2 campaigns! Let's see some Chorfs next!

Yea this is even better than livestreams for me please keep it up

I would like to see Kairos. I tried it and he’s better but his campaign is still kinda meh. Maybe he needs a new start position?

Perfect way to carry my day, thanks so much Legend! :)

Tiktakto, Hellebron, or Noctilus would be interesting. The first two have mechanics that set them apart from the more basic LLs while not being as drastic as the recent DLC lords. Noctilus is purely because of his start location and also the VCoast having a cool unit roster.

Very cool, just yesterday I got WH3 installed on my updated Alienware. New z790 gigabyte Mobo, GTX 1660 super, SSD, new hard drive, ECT. I've waited 3 long years to play this and now...now I'm finally here...with you guys and Legend again.
How good it feels to be back amongst you all!! Cheers n shit! Let's go!

this format is banger! like it so much

Holy content Batman!! Legend is on his grind. Much respect!

Really interesting that you stack life wizards in the gelt stack, makes sense for the healing cap but not the direction I usually went. Also, didn't realize that some of the traits didn't stack (like the ward save with the light wizard). I'd enjoy seeing a gorbad campaign since I don't really understand how best to use his unique mechanic much. Also, maybe a wood elf (any) to see how you use the tree movement campaign mechanic.

Really enjoyed this playthrough. Maybe Some Fay Enchantress or Kairos next?

Yeah Kairos next campaign, but with a relatively early ultimate crises active (turn30to60 or something), it’s a challenging option, would be great to see how you perform there (best streams were those where you suffered and there was actually some difficulty, i would love to see that again hehe) :)

Lore of metal! (gold, and a bit of lead). However, my heart lies with the Skaven, Beastmen , the Lizards, and perhaps a side of ogres. I'd love to see more of these lovely furry, scaly, and big-gutted critters!

Keep this format forever please. Best thing since swiss cheese

I know Tzeench isn't your cup of tea, but if you haven't played Kairos since their cult changes (I think it was 5.2) it's worth giving him a second look. You're not stuck in the Southern chaos lands anymore and can pop either North or in Bretonnia easily, or in other random locations with the major cult.

Very nice ! Hope to see a return to empire Gelt one day, it might be nice to see your strategy in this case and where you would settle

Kairos next. I saw 3 or 4 popular Kairos comments in the last campaign request video too

Nothing better than ending the day with a Legend stream

So happy you are making longer content again!

1:43:48 at the crossroads NW of your starting settlement: She's definitively keeping an eye on you. :P
And some more useful thoughts:
I haven't tested Essays much, but I remember that killing enemies with non-gunpowder units, or even magic, when running with texas goth lady (Elspeth), kinda hurt your schematics stuff. Which makes the Nuln dudes extra valuable since they can fill a melee role when necessary and still generate schematics. The same with the amethyst horsey boys, they can function as durable but mediocre shock cav if you want something dead, but don't want to explode units you already have in contact with them. Either way, this leads me to think that your rockets may be essentially burning essays for you. Should be fairly easy to test: just do the same battle differently. Reloading of science! Gelt would certainly approve.
The AI will delete multiples of recruitment buildings, and usually deleting the lower level one. Which I think you can cheese if you have one level 2 and a level 1 building in the ones you're selling, or if you make sure they have a region with two level 2's in them, and build two level 1's before you trade with the previous 2x level 1's. Funny part, is that they seem to value level 1 rec. buildings more than level 2. Though I'm a bit unsure on the latter, so it's up to more organized people to double check that eventuality if they're curious enough. :)

I love this shit man, heaps good to chill out and watch the tactics

Loved the video. Finally finished it after a few days

Perfect way to spend my day off tomorrow, thank you!

Thanks for this long-form content! I’m not sure there’s a campaign I wouldn’t watch.
