You guys are right, it's the fastest way to get CA's attention and get it fixed. Sharing anything that can lead to a better game in the end is worth it.
It would be funny if CA instead of fixing it made that every time you pressed the backspace it also played the Karl Franz's line "this action does not have my consent"
And if you spammed backspace quickly this way you could also make a sound sample for Karl Franz dubstep remix. THI-THI-THI-THIS ACTION DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT *PWAAAAAM, Poooooiiing WUB WUB WURURURUB*
@Moo oh they have to fix this. They got no excuses, now that Legend exposed this the game became trivial for the entire Total War playerbase. This would destroy their Franchise. 'Oh yeah, Total War, the game where you press backspace to win'. They won't get away with that
-Scout: "Sire! Chaos has reached us outside the capital!" -Franz: "So soon?! How many??" -Scout: "There's...only three. Just Archaon and two other dudes...should we attack sire? -Franz: "Yes we should definitely take this chance and kill them!! But for some inexplicable reason i feel like we should just sit here and do nothing." -Scout: "But sire! We have thousands of men ready to-" -Franz: "Don't move!! That's an order!" -Archaon waving from afar: "Can't touch this LOL"
I mean, it makes the game trivial to an extreme. It would ruin his career, quite literally. He's Legend of Total War, he cannot not cheese, but if he does cheese with this then the game becomes trivial and thus, boring to watch. It's in his best financial interest for this to be fixed right away. Afaic the programmers at CA should drop whatever they are doing and fix this immediately. It should be pretty simple because it's triggered by a button press and ALWAYS triggered by a button press, so you just have to find the line of code that says something like 'if backspace, then set enemy movement to 0' or whatever.
Legend does draw the line at quite a lot of things. As he said here, he's not going to continue using this exploit after he's had his fun initially. Also another thing he refuses to do is timer cheese, like change the timer to 20 mins and hide in the forest to force a draw, that's a bit too much for most, even him.
i have tried to beat imrek on legendary like 10 times now. i can't do it. on vortex. anyone has any tips ? income is shit. you have to colonize to get province. public order is absolute shit . vampires attack me as soon as i get province. but they're easy, but then there's greenskins on left and bottom. various skaven tribes. even southen realms tends to declade war on me . oh and draves don't want to trade , ever. the tree guys are worthless. the only ones that won't fuck me are the tomb kings. the bretonians declare war on me. completely ignore the tomb kings and dying in deserts to roll at me with clan eshin with like 4 armies each. i just don't ..fucking get it. how i'm supposed to play that. my reliability 'very high' always. like i'd love to sack spam vampires to lvl up so i could match others, but i get attacked by every corner. like even the rogue armies. sometimes beastmen too. like absolutely out of no where fuck me. like surrounded by enemies, but because of supply lines i can only afford BARELY one army. like it's not enough to defend. : (
@@Talvekuningas Dunno, only really ever got far with Imrik on Mortal Empires, and that was cause of several unique buildings in his starting province and then Caledor that significantly reduced the upkeep of dragons and dragon princes. Along with Imriks' own personal traits, his skill tree and then adding on a few Frugal trait nobles my army of his, that consisted of the 5 legendary dragons, a few star dragons, Imrik on his mount, the first fire mage on her dragon mount, the aforementioned nobles on giant eagles and the rest filled up with Dragon Prince units, my army upkeep amounted to under 1000 gold a turn. Dunno if one can manage that on the Vortex campaign, if the same landmark buildings can be gotten there.
Oh, I've been accidentally doing this for awhile when I was trying to skip through all the end turn stuff with agents. Just kept hitting backspace because I thought it just ended the animation and at the end of the turn they'd go and do what they needed to. Now I suddenly find out it's actually cheese
@@1212Deusexmachina 3h 55 minutes on the part 6 Manfred livestream. Literally the video before this one. And at 4h 7 min he finds out it works on warhammer 2 and later tries it out
Once you know about it its so tempting to use it, but once you do it ruins the satisfaction of the game completly A kind of an exploit I classify as cheat not cheese Great video as always Legend!
@@lordparrthurnax5502 I've never seen Ikit Claw do well. He always gets fucked by Bretonnia in my games. Queek usually takes Grimgor from behind, though. So either Queek or Grimgor will end up rank 1 far above everyone else in the new patch.
Yes. I've been cooking up a diabolical plan to stop the Order factions from moving and let Disorder roam free. I wonder what might happen doing that. Like, 2-3 armies of Order sitting in a city, they might never get defeated anyway...
After this game breaking bug, Legend would not receive any more SYDC videos. 16 months later, he was found in the back alley of a bar in Brisbane, eating cheese and repeating "the Ndym-thing ruin me, yes-yes" in a skaven voice.
@@ingold1470 QA is one of the hardest and important jobs in Game Dev. There are usually a few internals, but alot out-source QA. Dev Build V Live build is different
Make a live filled with the now called time stop cheese Scaven's latest invention of the laboratory Give to enemies yes-yes and they go stop-stop so you can attack or run like a true skaven
Next stream idea: win a legendary campaign through allies without fighting a single battle (including rebels and quest battles). Raiding is also technically prohibited because it's violence. You're allowed to search and settle ruins (and destabilize public order to create them), trade, establish undercities and coves, pick pirate treasure without fighting. Legend of total peace.
Now I know how the Vermintide games happened. The Empire had an army just waiting to come help Ubersreik and Helmgart, but Legend was playing Clan Fester and backspacing the Empire's movement. Legend is Rasknitt.
Reminds me of peter sellers in the original pink panther movie. 'Kato, do not attack! This is your emperor speaking! Your attack orders have been cancelled for this evening!'
@@jabloko992 You're correct, but I've stated that is to save a doomed campaign, one which was hard fought, but I shall do two saves, one for try to win against the odds and other if I want the "I give up, I need relief" button.
Yes! Finally, I don't have to chase Khazrak across the known Warhammer world, Middle earth, Europe, Asgard, Narnia and beyond. I can just *snap* stop him (except for beast path of course)
@Drinker_Of_ Milk that. Consoles used to be in pretty much every singlegame back in the day. It was fun being able to use cheats on SP if you so desired because, you know, it was SP.
Not originally. If you watch the live stream when he first discovered it, he admits he doesn't care. It's only after someone points out no one would be sending in SYDB that he became opposed. This threatens his whole revenue, as it's from live streams, SYDB, and occasional random informative videos.
I kinda want this to stay as an optionable chat that you can swith on or off. It can be useful for people just getting into newer total war titles and just trying to understand the mehanics. I just love silly cheats that give you option to play around in games in general
Wow.... This explains why i had this wierd situation a while ago... I press backspace out of nothing and the army which wanted to attack me stopped moving. I just thought he was out of movement.... Turned out i used a glitch.......
Morghur sails across the ocean as people come to bid him welcome with their armies waving from a distance as they slowly creep toward him but stop just shy of contact responsibly social distancing themselves from the sick beastmen.
Clearly this phenomena is just Legends Warp powers coming into existence at long last - won't be long now till he takes his place as the canonical fifth Chaos God
The guy that programmed that backspace mechanic years and years ago is WELL AWARE that it works on enemy turns also. I guess he was just hoping no one would ever notice lol
So I just did a Skarsnik campaign using this exploit...The Ordertide was immediately crippled as Gobbos became elector counts then took a celebratory tour to Carcossone, half the old world and every LL were mine in a single confederation, and Grimgor saved the world from The Everchosen. Highly recommend it while it lasts.
The best worst thing about this exploit is not what it does, but how its simply just pressing ONE button AND IT TOOK MOST OF US 3 YEARS TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
I just watched "Peasant for Dinner" from you where you were talking about a backspace exploit and I thought what backspace exploit. God Total War is broken, I play it for years and didn't know about this. Now knowing that, I will definitely not use it. That is just a game breaker.
