Spanish Musketeers against Unbreakable Mayans 

1:18 “Ok let’s take out the Culverin, nevermind there is no culverin”

More disaster battles/campaigns with extensive gunpowder units would be cool, they are rarely used.

Reminds me of a Maya campaign I played with an Emperor having full dread and the rest of the army being Temple Guards. Full dread + Frighten nearby enemy trait = doomstack worthy. 😁

Awesome to see some Medieval II Americas content! Crazy to think about how much content was in the Kingdoms expansion for a relatively low price.

The AI did very, very poorly in this battle. I play mostly Shogun 2 and even though it’s easy to abuse, at least it usually doesn’t stand still and let you kill it.

Scaleless lizardmen sure are passive.

A yes the Americas Campaign, this was the first time i got to play with gunpowder units in Medieval 2. Since most of the time i would beat the campaign or get bored before unlocking gunpowder. Great video legend, please do more MTW2 battle and maybe consider downloading some popular mods so you can do saves for those as well. I and i believe many others only play modded M2TW anyways.

"Sir! We keep hearing distant thunder even though it's sunny today, and our men are mysteriously falling like flies! What should we do?!" "Maintain our formation and wait for them to sally out. The heat stroke must be particularly bad this time of the year."

it's ok guys, the spanish are just bringing culture and technology to them.

7:20 "Honestly this dude here... he's dead mate, he just doesnt realize it yet"

Dude something hilarious happened to me as the Apache, after watching this video I decide to do a run as them for a bit of quick fun, I was quick to pick up some map Information and saw Spain was dominating as usual, then a few turns after the other European expeditions arrived New Spain went around and decided to god-damn COLLAPSE, I was confused at first when I got the notification that the faction was gone, somehow despite quickly becoming the number one faction, they went and somehow lost some decisive battles, killing off their entire leadership, now the native factions are lapping up what used to be their territory and putting my chances of winning the game at risk as one of Spain's former allies took its place and is well on its way to the quick campaign victory condition. Its somewhere between a miracle and a disaster that this actually happened.

Ha! That poor Culverin team, I didn't think they could survive with only 2 guys, never seen arty spawn like that before.

The AI with hails of bullets to the back: *this is fine...*

Ahh, This is the Legendary old Total War AI I've heard so much about.

If you listen carefully while watching you can hear Cerveza y Latifondo by Bardomagno What did happen to those poor temple guards? They lack scales and a tail! They cannot be tainted by chaos, so what change them?

So much for being unbreakable when some Spanish boys with thunder sticks can beat them. Rip to those Mayan boys.

"I think we'll have to send even the musketeers in melee" The musketeers hearing this be like 😐

Thats is sure one too many Mayans fainting for no gpod reason. Thankfully, their mates have manners and know to fill in the gaps created by their suddenly dead companions...

I just watched your videos from 2013 on medevil 2 ,you are a true legend .❤❤

I randomly came upon a new upload after checking your channel before bed! Can't wait

Wtf. I still get blown away at the battles you manage to win lol

Wow, that roll up was a thing of beauty. And I like this game handled mass routing perfectly like a rout would snowball in our own history with a crumbling flank.

Happy for you legend Brother! Your channel got me to try warhammer 2 and now I play all the classics. Loving the old school coverage man. Also you seem a lot happier. Wish you love and peace brother have a great Xmas . Happy holidays 🌲

Fun to see the Americas DLC again thank you. The Gun crew could man a tower? Open grounds were the Spanish excelled with their ranged.. or close melee armour over basic tribal forces.. A matter of speed of foot and numbers.. Like fighting Skaven in a jungle if you cant stand off longer.

All of these epic uploads make me so happy, and legend seems happy too

That was awesome! I feel like I actually learned something about the game from this.

The amount of experience that Conquistador unit got is wild.

Hey buddy. Good to see you. You do a great job for all strategy games communities.

Cuh-Cull-Con Kukulkan In case you were wondering. Hope that helps.

I would love to see a full apache campaign. Great early units. Cavalry and muskets after a while, and they have a crusade mechanic. Best faction in the campaign imo.

Americas campaign was my shit back in the day 💯 got a lot of good memories playing it

that bird sound in the campaign map is reaaaally throwing me off, especially cos of how bad it sounds. It probably sounds "realistic" to some people but to me it sounds like CA just recorded irl bird sounds with a shitty microphone back then and just rolled with it LOL

Weird temple guards that look like under equipped empire troops..

Damn 6:30am and a fresh LTW upload

"the power of aztec necromancy" 😂😂😂 Nice xD

9:55 Legend just turned into IDKsterling for a moment LMAO

Refreshing to see some MTW2! Cheers

Love how they fill the gaps so you don't have to move your troops

Oh dang! Breaking out the metaphorical popcorn for this one!

Spanish: stop human scarifice Mayans: make us Spanish: loads musket

Day #5 of asking Legend to bring back his old outro quote "See you next time... Fuckers!"

Watching you back in an America's campaign after all this time is giving me PTSD war flashbacks of a certain Dark Legend Apachean Tribes campaign 😂

Love these videos

Aztec necromancy, brilliant!

Your awesome legend!

I got a question about warhammer 3 is it normal that on turn like 7 i see the ai with t3 army? Specially with demons i feel they are always too op

The human sacrifices WILL stop

I remember beating the English armies with just an army of cobbled together Native mercs. Natives are pretty strong fr when you use them properly.

Merry Christmas Eve from America

The Temple Guard Legend respects.

The eagle totem song is such a slapper.

Great video😊

man, and i thought you won that fair and sqaure. You cheesed it

How you are able to pull a win out your bum is still just amazing to me. 😂 that was awesome.

"AY SENOR! MAYAN BANDITS HAVE RAIDED THEIR OWN VILLAGE..."

Hey Legend, cool vid. Also day one of asking for a hill tier list from your recent FOTS disasters.

I am not sure if something about my audio setup changed that I am not aware of or what it is, but I found the audio really troublesome in this video. Had real trouble understanding you, especially in the beginning with the unit talking on the campaign map.

It was impressive, like an Alexander the Great on PC, haha. But is there a way to contact him for a disaster campaign?

Funnily enough one of my first experiences with sallying out was on medium difficulty against a shitload of spearmen, the moment i started shooting them they came at me like a human wave, while the general stood back and watched the carnage happen cause they charged back into tower range

*the human sacrifice will cease*

Strangest looking lizardmen I've seen yet!

Since it wasnt metion in the video i mention it here even tho i am sure Legend knows about it. If you toggle either guard or skrimish mode on or off on gunpowder missile units, they will change theyr shooting patterns. For Example, if all is toggeld off, Units will walk back the Line after Firing a shot and allow already loaded Units to fire. They will reload with calm in the back while still remain mobile to move back / forward. You can see this play out in the beginnig of the Fighting with Guard Mode off. 04:40 If only Guard mode is active, the Ranks will not move back to reload but will do so in the front after firing. This will hinder the pace of theyr Damage output since only one Line is firing. The Unit will not go as quickly trough theyr ammo while making sure each volley doesnt waste a lot of shot. I didnt matter in this scenario but in a more chaotic situation it could be influential. For whatever reason, if both Guard and Skrimish Mode are enabled, the Unit will use Kneel Fire. Both Front Ranks will shoot and load at the same time. Doubeling the Damage output and the use of ammuntion. So place them in a good spot. This is on the top of my memory so if some patterns are switched or diffrent i am sorry. I hope it was still helpfull and you learned something new about a game that came out 2006. ( yeez guys i feel old )

Yo legend. New to your channel. Feel like I've heard you say before that you don't really like Empire total war. Could you elaborate as to why? I've played rome, medieval 2, empire, Rome 2. All fun but empire is by far my favorite.... anyways keep up the good work dude

The ai wasnt doing anything the whole battle.

Hey Legend, I've sent you a save about a month ago. I am just wondering if this is normal or there is something wrong and my mail did not come

QUESTION: Regarding Cavalry in M2TW. Every time I move a cavalry unit, it automatically goes into a skinny formation. For example, I may start a unit off just 3 rows deep and when I move them forward, they end up being 8 rows deep. It is EXTREMELY annoying. I am playing vanilla M2TW on Steam.

You can merge units in pre-empire tw games, just drag the cards over each one, or press control+m to merge all the army, it would be more useful to have a single bigger cavalry unit in this situation

We have a culverin here, oh wait, no we don't. 2 dudes standing there lol. I fell for the same thing when i saw he had a culverin. Sally out with a culverin + muskets on the walls = easy kills.

The Necromancer revived the chosen 20 XD

I'd love to watch Legend play new spain from scratch in a livestream 😊

Awesome

Pure skill.

Love Kingdoms videos.

Why do you never group your units?

Oh yeah the musketeer sally, been there many a time

7:20 Bro thinks he's idksterling 💀

so polite of the AI to just stand there and let you kill its best units.

often underestimate the power of properly micro'd cav 👌

Will you Space Marine 2 when it comes out?

I am quite confused how he got hte culverin to 2 units without it getting xp. In my new spain game it got to like rank 7 within 3 sieges. Do they take a lot of dmg in autoresolve?

You straight up used actual Conquistador tactics against the Ai. The would just target the enemy's leader as soon as they could

4:48 Gunpowder units completely bypass shields in Medieval 2, so it doesn't matter which direction you shoot from while using them damage-wise. Not sure if Medieval 2 inflicts a morale penalty when you shoot someone in the back or side like in the more modern themed games, though I would assume so. But obviously, shooting from the side there was required to actually hit them, so regardless of the morale penalty it still is the correct tactic.

LEGEEEEEND!!!

more medieval 2 videos please!!

if you use skirmish mode with musketeers you can actually increase their firing speed :D

Fuck I laughed at the Cannon at the start.

Who would win? A grand Mayan army or some muskets boys?

>"strategy game" >look inside >stat check with heavy cheese

Medieval Total War 2 stream maybe ... ? pretty please Legend !

Can anyone suggest what is the minimum PC specs CPU and GPU to have max videos setting in 1080p stable 60 fps?

Why do they run back? The walls?

Is there something going on with the audio? Still a great video though.

Gunpowder ignore shields. It provides no defense bonus

I can't wait for medieval 3 where you have to buy Spain as a dlc and the holy Roman empire is a day one preorder faction and longbowmen are in the king Henry lord pack and not available at launch

Repeat after me legend .... koo-kull-khan

Amazing AI

leggo

It's kind of dumb the developers never patched this crap out. Like, the army should totally be able to recognize what's going on and protect itself. Just weird they didn't and STILL haven't gone that far with the battle AI. They may have fixed the enemy just standing there letting you kill them one by one, but I'm not sure it's actually much better nowadays.

As an Indigenous person, these comments do not pass the vibe check.

These rustics are so inept. It nearly takes the honor out of victory. Nearly.
