Breaking the Geneva Convention in Total Warhammer 3 

“I did the only honorable any skaven would do” *betrays his only long term ally* Truly the skaven experience

The fact you "ACCIDENTALLY" Nuked the Capital of the only strong faction you weren't at war with, and THEN proceeded to betray your only long-term ally right when literally everyone else in the world was gunning for your head Is honestly Just Peak Skaven.

Outcome: "Pyrrhic victory" Ratspeak: "THERE'S STILL MOVEMENT ON THE BATTLEFIELD, KEEP SHOOTING!" "THAT'S US!" _"KEEP SHOOTING!"_

Anyone else when they lose 1000 soldiers: "Oh no we're losing! Fallback!" Skaven when they lose 1000 soldiers: "This fight is going really well."

"We outnumber them 5 to 1." "So it is an even fight."

800 causalities: 300 from the enemies, 500 friendly kills. The *true* skaven experience.

18:55 “Luckily I don’t think they (the Empire) noticed”. Since canonically the majority of the Empire is in total denial, and even forbidding the belief that Skaven exist, the game logic checks out 😂😂

Killing 400 of your own men to kill 100 enemies, truly the Skaven experience

Probably one of the most lore accurate Skaven playthroughs I've ever seen. Especially just noping out at the end there.

I just realized, the small campaign victory basically amounted to the Skaven abandoning the apocalypse and heading to a different island just to save their own hides. A very Skaven playthrough indeed.

Fun fact: in Warhammer Fantasy, the Skaven pretty much outnumber every single other race, combined. They have a continent-spanning Underempire that has settlements underneath almost every single other aboveground faction's towns and cities. The average human is usually no more than a few hundred feet away from a Skaven. Usually *many* Skaven.

"if you're not dying, you're not trying." instantly made me sub

betraying your allies at the end to squeeze out the victory is very skaven

Random rat: We have a battle plan right boss? Big Rat: ....Yes

Ikit Claw, a normal morning in Skavenblight : "What-what? Human Altdorf exploded? We forgot bomb-bomb under there? What does that even mean-mean ?"

1:12 Fun fact - in Warhammer Fantasy you normally can't fire ranged weapons into a melee... unless you're the Skaven due to a Special Rule (Some Units and Factions in both Warhammer games have "Special Rules" that actually overwrite the normal rules when/if they conflict) they have... "LIFE IS CHEAP"

Ah yes the Geneva Convention. Everyone's favorite Comic Novel.

"Seeing as they were outnumbered 5 to 1, we almost lost." If that isn't the most Skaven shit I've ever heard. Also, it was pretty stupid of Aranessa to put Ikik Claw into a self-defenses situation.

Literally the definition of “Trust nobody, not even yourself.” Take out everyone, even the friendlies.

Life is even cheaper when you buy in bulk. This has got to be the most lore accurate Skaven video I've seen.

As someone who doesn´t know any total war lore, it looks like the Scaven are the incarnation of the end-times. And I love it

"I love that we've already won the battle and I'm still friendly fireing my own units" most skavin Thing ever.

"We outnumber them five to one and we almost lost" lol😆

I've watched this video like 4 times and the same joke keeps getting me somehow. Worth the subscription back during the first watch "The enemy got 0 kills, and 75 of our troops died" That's FANTASTIC

They are not rules. They are guidelines

“A victory that works in our favor.” *Pyrrhic Victory* Sensational 🤣

“Geneva Convention more like Geneva suggestion”-chuckles the clown from dnd

imagine being the pirates, your faction slowly building its way up the power ranks as you manage to befriend the Skaven. They actually end up helping you slightly, but they mostly ignore you and your requests for them to assist you in wars. Then when the endgame crisis happens, you're fighting on multiple fronts to stay alive. All of a sudden your Skaven allies approach you, for no real reason as they're also being attacked in their own territories. Are they here for assistance? supplies? You and your crew ask them what they need, and all of a sudden they gun you down for no reason, then all of them begin cheering over your slowly bleeding out body over a "short-campaign victory" as they put it.

Geneva Convention exists: Skaven: "It's more like guidelines than actual rules"

As a skaven enjoyer, i felt proud of the ending

That ending had me in stitches. Truly, you are the best representative of the Skaven playerbase to ever exist.

I'm extremely depressed that I have to rewatch this video. It's so good and I wish there was more content like it warhammer 3 stuff

7:54 - Most skaven moment in the video.

The Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997 essentially replaces the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and does ban the production, stockpiling, and transfer of chemical weapons. But Skaven is not a party to the treaty so they cannot be held accountable - a lawyer

I must say, I have watched this video a number of times by now, just because the combination of editing and comedic timing is just so entertaining

I'm LOVING these warhammer total war videos, nobody does them the way you do with your commentary. Please do more of these I don't care how long it takes for the video or what race it is as long as I get more of this hilarious madness

This game asks the question "What if Dr Thrax, GLA from CnC Generals, had a rat fursona?"

3 friendly fire casualties a second as the Skaven is the most in-lore gameplay I've ever seen.

"We cut down the tree' *Sylvanas Windrunner greatly approves*

15:09 Starcraft 1 Zealot death sound, literally cannot forget it. I have discovered a man of class today, and he has earned a subscriber.

I enjoyed that, much like a savvy investor, at the end there, you simply cut your losses and while you didn't come out on top- it was fun.

The fact that they made the beast men near ikit claw have 90% resistance to missiles in Warhammer 3 is a really kick in the balls.

"Well according to my magic 8 ball 'try again later'" will never not make me laugh. Your delivery of that joke was perfect

I wouldn't even call the last "betrayal" that -- if anything else, Anessa was probably impressed by such scheming! It's on brand - for everyone!

I didn't know I needed this in my life but I don't think I can go without it now that it is in it

Massive casualties, a blatant disregard for the Geneva Convention and killing more of your own Rats than the enemy? Yeah, the only difference between this video and me doing that on the table is that I've never won a game with my Skaven.

Just found your channel, absolutely love this way of tackling 40K games and your script writing is great and entertaining

I ran across this video when it came out. Subbed instantly. Binged all your videos. And now I play total Warhammer 3. thank you Mr.Kleaper

I really like your Rimworld videos, but these Warhammer videos are something else. I can't even imagine how much time you put in your videos. Keep it up my man!

Now, Skaven society is a lot like Soviet society. There is no food

ive rewatched this like 3 times and i cant get enough of it. i need more

Absolutely loving these total war warhammer videos from you and really hoping you do more!

Good to see this game nails the skaven lore. I was scared they'd take more damage from enemies and not your own ranged units

The defensive attack against Sartosa was legendarily Skaven

Great choice of background music throughout, so nostalgic.

5:53 what a great use of the greatest synth mix ever created. Dagoth Ur approves

It isn’t fair that China gets two factions, Cathay and the Skaven.

I guess the problem with Skaven in the lore is that they tend to start annihilating one another at some point.

Mate, I discovered you fairly recently and I instantly fell in love with the Warhammer videos. I hope to see many more in the future.

Amazing video!!! You were just randomly on my for you page and I loved every second of the video, keep up the good work, hard to find amazing and entertaining Warhammer creators.

This man played skaven better then 90% of the skaven in the lore. Absolutely loved it please do more.

The best part is this is literally just a normal skaven play through.

I know absolutely nothing about this game or your channel but this is quality content and I'm here for it.

This is.. Really good. I can't believe I haven't seen you before. Amazing stuff.

This is one of the most entertaining commentary gameplay I've ever watched, and its now 6.30am. Thank you

I was literally wondering what army to play in my first immortal empires campaign. This was my second, but now first choice.

Bro i was dying dude! Such a funny vid. Keep up the good work. As you say, “If you’re not dying, you’re not trying.”

Entertainment value 10/10 . Makes me want to play Skaven on this game now!

Morghur's missile resistance is really, really high. Actually the highest base missile resistance in the game, starting at 75 % and improving to 85 % with a basic trait available to him at level 2. But given the fact that he's starting the game next to Ikit Claw that's probably fair 😅

It's always a great day when kleper posts

The geneva convention just became the geneva suggestion

Non-stop bangers on the backround music. OG starcraft, Age of War, AND the best soundtrack in all of stellaris and the only one in synthetic god thats not mildly annoying: synthetic god. Loving it man

as someone who has almost 3 thousand hours in game 2, this video was great and i can imagine very fun even if you dont play the game, if you do however those starting turns may give you anxiety attacks

Absolutely love this game and the way you make content with it. Would be cool to have it as ine of the main games on the channel

Top notch narration. Never ever heard of this channel before. Thanks, algorythm.

I've watched ths video many times now, and I am still convinced this is the most lore friendly depiction of the skaven ever created.

That use of the CK3 War Declared music was beautiful. You have now peaked my curiosity and shall be watching your career with great interest

did not expect the Medieval 2 music. Good taste, chief. And there's Brigador. Actually, the brigador music and all those ratling guns, that works nicely. You've just picked all the good music for this. With just about the MOST possible Skaven finish.

Saw this in my recommended list, and didn't expect to watch it all the way through. This is gold

This video was hilarious, first time I actually laughed hard at a youtube video, love your style man.

THIS perfectly encapsulates the ultimate lust for conquest at the heart of any Warhammer player.

I understand 0% of the gameplay but ur comedy is so on-point I had to watch the whole thing.

This Video single handily made me love the Skaven

Truly accurate shaven gameplay and seriously funny voiceover

The presentation method used reminds me heavily of SsethTzeentach. Which is good! This was very entertaining, Kleaper!

I have the flu, and your videos help me stay awake and make me feel just a little better. Thank you

I have never played or seen any gameplay of War hammer before this but still found your video entertaining. Thanks

This video is what got me into Total warhammer. Came back a year later and remembered wanting to play this so badly.

Dude the commentary, content amd edits.... so hotdamn good!!

Praise to the Horned Rat! A skaven video from the grim kleaper!

This video is so good that I would could have perfectly spent like 4h in total rewatching it

Skaven should get multiplayer points for friendly-fire

"As we outnumber them 5 to 1. We almost lost" Excellent story telling

11:16 Geneva Convention more like Geneva Suggestion. I may play way too much stellaris

Ikit is 100% my favorite lord and your commentary was hilarious! Great video

just found this video in my recommended, binged the whole channel, post more please :))

I swear you use the geneva conventions as a checklist in over half your videos

“Bretonnia got 0 kills and we lost 75 people. That’s… fantastic!” 9:02 You’ve really got into the skaven role play here. Lol

Normal factions ending a battle with a 5:1 casualty ratio: IT'S SO OVER Skaven ending with a 5:1 casualty ratio: WE ARE SO BACK

this is THE quintessential warhammer video, like idk how it gets better from here
