Just in case you didn't catch it Lionheart, Malakai's Persuader not only replenishes the ammunition of artillery/war machines, it also heals them. I know on the surface that might not seem like a big deal, but if you use it, say, on a unit of beat-up Gyrocopters...or a THUNDERBARGE...well, I think you'll get the idea. XD
Another great episode. FYI in Norsca there are 2 Elven armies to fight for that adventure you just started. I began with that adventure and with 4 cannons and grape shot I'm melting armies before they get anywhere near me, you'll love it.
Ironside Saga #6 "Everyone keep your heads down," Morgris shouts knowing that though all the math should say that this test is safe, it is best to take precautions. "Cover your ears as well. Fire on my mark in 3, 2, 1, fire!" A dwarf pulls on a rope which triggers the firing mechanism on an experimental cannon which in turn sends a large magical projectile flying down range at the dwarf sized target down range. After hearing the sound of the projectile impacting with something in the intended area, the dwarfs raise their heads knowing that they're safe. Morgris uses a spotting scope to look down range, and he smiles, "Haha well done everyone. If that was was one of our own, they'd have had their right arm taken off by that shot. It appears that we slightly over corrected to the left after the first shot, but both shots hit with an acceptable degree of accuracy so we should be able to put the next one square in the center of the target with one slight adjustment." "Aye, I have to admit that I am impressed by what our engineers have done here with this potential replacement for the steam cannon," Undur remarks. He climbs out of the safety area and approaches the new cannon. "Though I never imagined that the rune of wrath and ruin would be used to create and propel magical projectiles, I do like what I see. I'm curious Morgris, why did you want this cannon? I know you have a purpose in mind that you thought it could fulfill else you wouldn't have brought it up." "Indeed, I have several reasons," Morgris replies as he moves up beside his brother while Undur inspects the runes used in this cannon. "The magical projectiles will allow us to bypass the resistance of demons to resist some types of injury. Since we ourselves have some resistance to magic, it reduces the risks of friendly fire. It doesn't eliminate the risk, but it is an improvement for what I would consider to be worst case scenarios. Now the best way to survive damage is to not get hit and if we can stay out of the reach of an enemy's weapon, we cannot get hit and this clearly gives my gyrocopters a massive improvement in their engagement range. These magical projectiles keep their punch longer and can fly further than steam. This cannon also reduces weight and importantly, that weight is in the rear of the craft where I'm currently trying to remove weight in order to achieve proper balance." "I see you're keeping yourself busy between patrols," Undur comments, and with this Morgris asks his brother what is wrong because he can see that something is bothering Undur. "Can we take this somewhere private?" "Let's, it is almost time for lunch anyway so there is no harm in concluding today's testing of this new weapon here," Morgris and Undur leave the cannon to the caring hands of the engineers. Once they are back indoors, they sit down and wait patiently for lunch to be served. "Is this private enough?" "Aye, this shall do," Undur looks not at Morgris but at the table between them. "Utrid has left albeit temporarily to seek a chance to face Astragoth Ironhand in battle so she can test her runes out. I'm worried not because she may get hurt, that is simply a fact of life and battle. She won't be alone working alongside Lord Makaisson and Utrid has proven time and again that she is more than capable of taking care of herself. What worries me is...well...you know." "Aragris and Utrid certainly do hold a grudge over what the dawi-zhar did to mother and nobody can blame them for it," Morgris nods as he looks at his brother. "I presume what worries you is that they're going to go chasing after them in the name of revenge and end up having something happen to them as well?" Undur shakes his head and looks up at his younger brother, "Yes but more specifically, that they're going to become the very thing that they want to destroy by creating and using such inventions. That is why I didn't let Aragris make that engine of hers, she's playing with things that could take her close to a line that is dangerous to cross. Even if I didn't have disagreements about newer technologies, that alone is not something that I can allow in good conscience." Undur takes a deep breath, and slowly exhales, "It was not my proudest moment to stop her when I did. However I promised father that I'd look after our sisters and you, and I won't let their emotions destroy them if I can help it and so I came here with the three of you." As much as he doesn't want to say it, Morgris knows that he has to, "Unless you can find a way to make our twin sisters face their pain and move on from it, you're not going to change anything Undur. Father tried, and he didn't succeed and he's wiser and more experienced that both of us even now." "And now they not only have improved runic magic, but something that is apparently a real iron demon. As if the iron demons weren't already terrifying," Undur tries to chuckle, but only has moderate success as lunch is brought to their table. The two brothers put the matter out of their mind as they eat lunch and try to relax. They both still have other duties to attend to today and these duties will require their full focus. They have moderate success, but even after not speaking on the matter for ten minutes and going their separate ways for now, they still are thinking about their younger sisters. For her part, Aragris has been spending her time on experiments to test the safety and reliability of the rune enhanced steam engine in what is the most realistic test yet that she can perform without taking her work onto the battlefield. Previous testing showed that it would work under what was intended to simulate an easier workload, so Aragris decided that she could lead the experiment herself. When the experiment concludes, she steps out and looks at her creation with a smile of vengeance. "They will cry in regret for what they did to my mother when they see this," Aragris states as she stands before the left side of her machine. "Well, the ones that haven't turned to ash because they were blown up along with their pathetic excuse for an iron demon. I wish that I had the machines of the traitors to look at in order to make sure that I don't repeat their mistakes, but this is good enough to be used in battle and now I can move on to the next phase of my plan. The manufacturing of more of my creation with the foresight that modifications and upgrades will be implemented once they become available."
It's not very fun being on the receiving end of the Blunderbusses lol Also what in the world was Wulfrik's plan there lol, just suicided his army twice. The Technology to buff your Dwarf Warriors is also an insane bonus for your garrisons during defensive battles, I wouldn't be surprised if that's responsible for some of those wins.
It is so funny to watch my Vamp Count/Vlad von C.armiews with dwarven blunderbus and Irondrak units and various cannons, while the dwarven regiments have anything from skeletons and up in their ranks. LOVE the outpost system! Hoping for some slayer pirates from Malakai to join my ranks as well if he is still alive 🙂 Or a Vampire Count controlled slayer gobbo hewer... funny thought, really
Wasn't there already formation available in form of the V-shape for Bretonnia cav? How do Dwarfs even manage to do anything other than constantly writing into the book of grudges? Every Dwarf faction must have several scribes hired to keep track, for sure. And angry tree is always angry, no way to befriend her. I see a coop campaign between Ostankya with her buffs and Malakai and his ranged proficiency pretty insane in terms of missile strength. Maybe they mean the Gryphon Wood with the forest in the heart of the Empire.
Approx 6:01 you talk about the spinning dawi. That sets The Dors to play in my head every time I watch it... the tune is something "Spin on Through, to the Other Side; Spin on Through to the Other Side.... Spin on Through, ..." Cannot recall the original Doors tune, though.. maybe you can guess it 🙂
Don't know if this advice will be too late, but imo you should keep one army to defend your home provinces against Norsca. Don't need Malakai and the other army against the chorfs. Malakai should be enough and the other army can be a useful defensive force against invasion and the loss of territory.
On turn 12-15 I had this issue because nurgle, chaos dwarves, warriors of chaos, and another large chaos faction declared war simultaneously. Waves and waves of armies crossing from the north, east and west. Each faction sending minimum 2 full stacks. It’s now turn 100 and I’ve managed to control the situation; I recruited Thorngrim and I invaded the chaos wasteland and just sacking everything.
Astrogoth: "Short!!!" Malakai: *Loads Grudge Raker* "Yeah, why don't you come and say that to my face?!" Astrogoth not realizing what he and his army are walking right into: "Oh, I will!"
Looking at the portraits of Astragoth and Malakai side by side, I realized that the main difference between dwarves and chaos dwarves are their hats. Chaos dwarves are uncomfortable with their small stature and compensate with outlandish giant hats. Meanwhile, the regular dwarves have embraced their short king status and wear much shorter helmets, or no head gear at all.
There is a whole history to the Chaos Dwarf hats. They were originally designed by the Perry twins in the 1990s. Their background was historical wargaming/miniature design. The owner of GW knew this and as he was getting updates on the design process he keep replying "make the hats bigger" as he assume they were against non-historical hats. Turns out he was egging them on to greatness (in hat terms) Filmdeg Miniatures has a great RU-vid video on this subject.
Hey lion, i noticed you were looking for some cash. Did you think of giving either Kostaltyn or Katarin the two regions in Troll Country? You can sell them both back for a decent bit of money and it might give Katarin (if you sell to her) more of a chance to confederate with that other Kislev faction. Also might promt her to go to war with Azazel and Wulfric cause her territory will be closer to their regions.
6.1k and that's not even it's full power because lord upgrades have yet to be unlocked so i cant wait for max power to destroy single entities in 1 volly Edit addon: also the crown might be in the other forest drycha's home thats the only other forest i can think of that would fit
@@wargey3431 at the time i thought it was pointing to a settlement not a region so those were the only two forest i could think of that would have counted at the time
I feel like the newer gun single entities just dont fire fast enough or deal enough base damage. A comparison is Alith Anar who is a mobile lascannon, I never see them do well enough. Even the empire engineer doesnt seem to do much when no in the steam tank and I get that they're support focused but still. What's the best kill count you've gotten on Malakai with just shooting?
I have to agree with the question, how is his missile str that high im playing a Malakai Campaign I have all those points and his gear and my missile str is 700
@@lionheartx10 I think he may be referring to the Grudge Mechanic; for every settlement/faction you discover, the more active grudges you will have, and those grudges will increase in number, even if it's an army or settlement on the other side of the world from where you currently. Quick version: the number of grudges you will have to complete an Age of Reckoning will increase exponentially the more of the map you discover. Battlesey even had a video dedicated to talking about this problem.
@WolfMcCullen oh yeah I'm aware of this but Malakais campaign is all about exploring and adventuring around so it's just not something I'm going avoid doing tbh. If it makes it harder it makes it harder.
