Gelt's Campaign is an EPIC DISASTER 

*check me out on DLive at the usual livestream times. approx 1 hour from now* dlive.tv/LegendofTotalWar

Gelt: Slurp, gobble Captain: My lord, you don't need to do that, you can turn lead into gold. Gelt: I know what I'm doing, damn you!

"This mask hides my tears" That was a great caption.

TFW Toddy ignores Reikland invading Middenland and charges across a vampire occupied empire to besiege your capital with two armies.

34:30 Imagine forced-marching through the Vampire-Occupied Empire to attack your own Imperial Vanguard against the Vampires.

He's solo, He's flying solo, He's killing vampires solo.

The Vampiretide: something we never thought we'd see, then the DLC hit. It is nice to see Vlad and Isabella live past turn 30 though, now you can actually get their good traits

6 melee infantry in the army. legend: too much

This has quickly turned into probably my favorite RU-vid channel of not definitely top 3 right now (just got into Warhammer 2 campaign)

1:06:26 "That rock is really in the way there" *Battle Priest general phases through rock, followed by Varghulf and Mannfred*

Dumb people: "If you have a Vampire problem you need garlic" Legend an expert: "*_CHEESE_*"

This needs a part 2, yikes. At least get Wissenland back.

End times flashbacks intensifies

That first underway battle against the spider banner orcs - I've never seen so many spells cast in one battle. Now I see why Gelt is so good. I don't think even Teclis puts in that kind of work.

While I loved seeing Gelt destroy an army, this made me realise that the lore of metal really needs a buff. The amount of time he casted a spell and got 2 or 3 kills was too high.

Video should be re-titled 'Gelts quest to get arcane conduit while simultaneously letting the dogs out for a walk and turning dead things into gold'

Actually a disaster campaign. We like when you struggle.

You killed me with the story about Gelt's unscrupulous past.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me recently when I started a Gelt campaign. Vampires everywhere and no money. Then I start a Vlad campaign and I have no money and I’m getting trashed by Averland, which has 2 armies with way more campaign movement for me so I can never catch one alone and can’t defend my towns. Shit us frustrating. Also screw Pistoliers!

At 11:40 when you try to feign a charge, you need to do that from behind. Then they turn around and brace for the charge. Repeat doing that on a subset of their army to stagger their forces.

"I was just hoping Manny had some balls...". For real? Archaon turning back to Sigmar is more probable than that.

Emperor: "Summon the Elector Counts!" The elector counts on turn 3: 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀

Hey Legend. I don't think this is fixed . If the dude were able to turn it around from this point on I doubt he'd be in this situation in the first place. Totally deserves a part 2.

No closed captions? Or is that just me? I miss the "I jumped over a wall here" :(

It's okay, you saved him for now. Once he wipes out the counts, Grimgor will probably have 70+ settlements. hahahahaha

It's really cool to watch you do campaign disasters in addition to battle disasters. Also super helpful since it gives us an idea of interesting macro strategies, tricks, and tactics.

What do you mean "it might seem silly with the greenskins"? Archers are ALWAYS a problem

"We'll see what we can do." My prediction: Legend saves the disaster.

Doctor: how many steroids do you want? Vampire Counts: YES

Opened this and saw turn 28 and I realized I’m not alone in this Campaign being a massive pain in the ass. Also if this dude just survives for somewhere in the realm of 22 to 32 more turns Franz is going to get off his ass and curb stomp the Vampires into the dirt. Happens every single time in my games.

A third of the Empire has been conquered by Vampires, and Solland is barely holding on...and Middenland decides that invading Solland is more important than dealing with any of that. For fuck's sake, this AI.

Yeah, i myself started a golden order campaign just today. It was no hard difficulty. By turn 10 i killed off the spider ork tribe and Vlad already destroyed averland and took the Moot. Luckily i managed to lure him in with force marching my army near him and then kill him off and then i just returned Averland to glory and thus got my imperial authority back. It seems like the vampires are kind of a pain in the arse now. It was doable on hard, i cant imagine how hard it would be on legendary.

This always happens with my Empire Campaigns. Also Build Morters. Gunpowder and steel counter the undead.

The VC are actually a significant threat? What is this, TWW1?

Now I wanna really play as Gelt in the empire. Good thing I uninstalled the game so I can actually get stuff done.

Just watched many of the old videos and it’s funny to see how far legend has come from the Rome 1 days! Lol

Gelt should get a money bonus any time he uses Final Transmutation in battle, what with turning things into solid gold. Just fluff-wise, that's my favorite spell.

theres something therapeutic about your videos/streams lol keep up the great work Legend

I just realized that your disaster series is like Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares....and I love every moment of it

Loses settlement to vampires, hostile orks appear out of nowhere, and beastmen declare war all in one turn. Dang, you couldn’t write this stuff, what horrible luck lol

Such an obvious way to get around hindered replenishment that I'd never have thought of. Love it!

Gelt is probably the best empire lord by far. In late game I have soloed multiple stacks of armies getting 4000-6000 kills per battles. It is really time consuming though because his spells are just awful but he makes up for it with how good he is at everything else.

Recently did a Gelt campaign and it went something like this at first. Hand gunner + hell blaster stack wrecked the vampires for me.

29:47 Herman Ghorst cosplaying i see

gelt is very underrated

Great video as always. One thought: why did you focus your magic on archers without ammo? I’d have thought they would be a low priority target

Tip, if you overcast final transmutation you get double the duration (and therefore damage) for less than double the cost!

This is what a disaster campaign truly is. Not a "I made a blunder a while back and I'm about to lose my main economic center while still having 27 other territories". This guy is quite literally on the BRINK.

is gelt the best empire genaral ???

That was turn 28, how in Morks name are there that many vampires turn by turn 28

The one thing I hate about Gelt campaigns against the VC's is that Karl does absolutely nothing about the vampires even when they are marching through his empire destroying elector counts. What's the point of being emperor if you aren't even going to defend your territories. Come on man, help me out just a little bit

I love these types of situations cause if your good enough you can go from broke and stupid to 20g’s in two turns with your enemies on the run

I don't know why but when I imagine Gelt without a mask I picture rick moranis

It´s kind of silly how hard Gelt has to work for those kills, Gelt needs a player with a lot of patience. A single Winds of Death can net double the kills of what Gelt is doing in 30 minutes.

Been some time since I saw you wasting the mortars ammo. That's when you know you're in dire need of some cheese.

"I think this is a little bit of Kaputt", finally i got it that you can a bit of german at least.

The new vampire aggressiveness makes it impossible to play as Gelt

Leveling him I'm always unsure where to put points.

That fucking river though. Why can't we build a fucking bridge?

Hey Legend, it's just a small thing but you're pronouncing Pfeildorf wrong. The "ei" is pronounced like "I" in English. Anyways, I love your videos and streams. Keep up the good work.

On my latest dwarf playthrough the empire was dead by turn 20.... hadn’t even discovered them and couldn’t help like I’d normally do lol

WELCOME TO EASTALIA, GENTLEMAN

what if you try to take wisseburg, give it back to elector and leave it so vampire will take it again, and retake again, do that until your authority back to green

Golden Boy.. would make Isabella some nice ear rings smelt them -The off set for us normally are the incursions by the dawi. or manfried heading towards the boarder princes instead and then greenskinz over the mountains. with the improved green gobos from the west u are surrounded?

Wow LoTW actually had to pause the battle. I think this is the first video I've seen where he had to do that.

I made the mistake of prioritizing a couple of other things before dealing with the vampire counts in a Gelt campaign. I now have -6 imperial authority at turn 50 and Sylvania is currently Strength Rank 1.

Would love to see a sequel to this, definitely an interesting hole to dig yourself out of...

Would be fun to see this campaign continue for a bit :)

If they keep readjusting it's actually more realistic. Not fun, but who would send troops straight ahead to die irl.

I had a campaign on very hard diff with gelt where the VC declared war on me quite early and ignored prettymuch every other EC besides Averland (which, get rekt pretty early) and I literally spent almost the ENTIRE campaign going back and forth against them, by turn 80-ish I've managed to completely wiped them off of the map, but since I was so busy fighting the VC I've not paid much attention to anything else, and when I looked the world was in a pretty... odd situation, thalsen (that woodelf faction) owns the entirety of reikland, middenland owns the oak of ages and Marienburg, kislev is gone, replaced by a combined wissenland-ostland territory, clan angrund owns ostermark, nordland owns half of Brettonia and the ENTIRE NORSCAN SETTLEMENT. do they buff the VC to act as a pop control against the empire faction or something? lol, it feels like I just witnessed the aftermath of some weed party that I'm not invited to

My favorite part of all your inappropriate jokes is waiting to see your reaction when you regret saying them.

I know there is almost no difference, but it always bothers me how legends leaves his flying lords in the line of fire of his archers, the damage is probably minimal and so is the shielding for the enemies, but I’m always like “just move him a inch to de side and he will be fine then 😫”

1:06:07 Rock? What rocks? There's no rock here. VC Knights are obviously spectral now as they run through supposedly solid objects.

That charity livestream is getting close. Good job as always legend. tahnks for all your teachuings over the years

I’d like to see him continue this one. That was really fun to watch

I love how you casually asked if people are subbed. not sure why that sticks out the most to me XD

im kind of happy that the vamps steam roll atm makes it more interesting

At 35:22 you hover over the banners on purpose to trigger us hehe

1:06:07 it appears the black knights went full-ethereal there

Huh, never knew the E in E-beggar stood for "Empire"

Should be asking for spare bones! Theeeen you turn it into gold

How the hell did he manage to get his spells so dirty cheap? Omg, now I wanna play balthasar and try the same O.o

Great campaign!! and early in it too. Maybe continue this in sunday?

I'm glad I wasn't imagining their sudden aggressiveness. I think the biggest issue for Reikland is that Manny gets 5 settlements right off the get go, so as Empire you won't even be done crushing the succesionists by the time Manny the Man Child starts pushing West. At least as Gelt you can bitch slap Vlad and put the pressure on Manfred whereas Karl has to just watch as the incompetent Elector counts get devoured by the Vampire Tide.

man i feel this guys campaign, i have started 2 golden order campaigns in the last week or so and on both the vampires have taken out Reikland by turn 25 and own the entire center part of the map, its insane. In one of the campaigns they owned reikland by turn 15, how are they that powerful all of a sudden?

That ammo cheeze is amazing

I've also found, don't put Gelt on his flying mount until AFTER you've dealt with the VC otherwise he will always be attacked by every VC flying unit they have. Keep him on the ground early on.

Yeh Vamps wiped empire on my campaign.. yet gelt survived. My waaggh was passing by and he decided to sass me on the diplomatic screen...

I never understand how campaign goes so wrong within 30 turns... First thing i notice in many of this early game disasters is that they dont have recruited heroes at all, like HOW? Especialy now you can get hunter and generals in first 15 turns for sure!

That rock was a fucking joke xD

Continue this please

Such an epic saving a disaster campaign.

I would love to see moree of this!

well played man. Definitely thought this one was a really hard one.

Help me Karl Franz I’m stuck.

Name of the game, “what legend does for gold” 1:15

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen!

Greenskin tribe still being around after turn 10 isn't a good sign.

You have to make a b line for the temple and drakenhoff as early as possible.

Why is cavalry so shit for the player and so strong for the AI, even on normal difficulty they're useless?
