Hemoglobin for the hemoglobin god. Craniums for the cranium throne
I don't think it was communicated well, but around 30:30 when you were engaging the Dwarfs you noticed that your saves were lower - I think that was because you exchanged shields for a second hand weapon, hence having a worse save, not because the dwarfs were more able to overcome your defence
Oh it's supposed to be Soul? haha Yeah I call it Sovl as well, did think it sounded a lil silly, but glad I'm not the only one 😅 Love the content, thanks heaps Janet!

It could stand for "Softly Oiling Vinny's Loins". But it probably doesn't.

Probably told elsewhere, but the reason people use a V instead of a U dates back to the romans, who found that carving the curb of a U into rock is really hard, so they just used a V instead since it's the closest letter.

Fyi, the +50% to loot for elite battles DOESN’T apply to the loot you take instead of replenishment from each troop. The +50% honestly only seems to apply to the amount you get for winning the battle, that’s it, but it pre-calculates. So if it says you won 111g from the battle “+50%”, you don’t win 166, you get 111

Regardless of how it works, the game doesn't do much to make it clear one way or the other :P
glad your doing another run. i instantly got the game after your first video and am super addicted to it. never played something like it before but its so awesome Janet; thank you!
Thanks for the added music! Makes it more dynamic to watch. :> Edit: you can have an earbud in one ear for your own music so you don't play in near silence.
I too am hoping they add some -armor save modifiers. It's irritating when goblin spears shrug off bolt throwers and hand gun rounds. It also means handguns are just crap bows since they're shorter range. Would love charge reactions too so you can flee from a bad situation though you risk not getting the rally.

i mean handguns have 4 power instead of 3 like bows so they do force higher armour saves. elven bows keep up due to their hit consistency and rerolling misses.

Yeah, it's 'Soul' In ye olden times, making typeset at a blacksmith for printers was time consuming and expensive, so they would reuse letters. U & V, F & S. Was close enough ppl could recognize the word. You'll recognize it if you look at American founding documents, Congress is spend Congreff, etc

You’re absolutely right, but you’re missing the part where the game itself has absolutely nothing to do with any of what you’re saying. It seems to be using the V in place of a U purely because the developer thought it would look cool or maybe the word Soul spelt correctly was already taken. The fact those letters have been used interchangeably in the past doesn’t help communicate anything within the context of this title. It doesn’t convey anything about the setting of the game takes place it. It’s just a bad title that I will continue to mispronounce. Also the Y in Ye olden times was a result of the same typesetting shortcomings.

At least it's not ancient Greek, they had no typesetting or punctuation,so every word ran into the next, and they cut out the vowels, so you had to guess.JSTLKTHSFRXMPL.
14:06 You can adjust the number of ranks for each unit. If you find it difficult to maneuver (like I do), keep the doggos units (or flank units) at ~5 wide. Edit: In late-ish game, doggos units only serve as interceptors, plus we have more units to play with, I like to reduce them to 4 columns
I would love a game like that with full fleshed 3d models like the ones in TW:W. RTS is really good, but also a more TT approach will be awesome

Elven spears are hilarious. They're not so bad at start but soon as you get to an anvil you can buy them both heavy armour and longbows. They still use the low tier skills though. Most importantly the unit increase. Skill 5 longbows of 30 models with heavy armour and shields are glorious to behold.
You can change the formation / frontage of units to make them less wide
TBF, It's Soul spelt in old English, where V's and U's were interchangeable and both meaning U
Listening to you play SOVL while I play SOVL is very relaxing. Keep em coming!
I found out about this game thanks to you and to be honest I fell in love with it. I hope to see an art update sometime in the future to get rid of the AI art.

15:21 So a swamp is infested with Trolls and then.... Desert? :D
Agreed. Its 100% Sovl
I was spoiled a little by playing elves and building my noble to be a horrifying melee monster, then I played undead things were not dying and even my Vampire on a T rex could not save things.
Love this series, thanks for the videos.
I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to this game, its weirdly nostalgic. Also... How occasionally are you Janet? Is Occasionally your first name?
I don't know that one track was a banger
Dark Omen from the 90s did this “fantasy table top but not tabletop” genre better imo. Biggest difference is this is turn based.
"There's too many trolls in the swamp!" **Fight on desert map**
@JanetOnOccasion
Ай бұрын
Well there were too many in the swamp, but the desert had just the right amount.
As good as this game is, I do hope they add a little more flavour to the factions. I've only played the Undead and Walmart Empire so far, but they do seem a little samey.
trolls have pretty high power esp if they have great weapons, then they have around 6 on the charge? which would force a hefty save on your abyssal warriors, they had their weaker weapons though and abyssal warriors are the deepguard of that faction that are better in melee, them losing to trolls which are unironically cheaper point wise for a unit would be a bit whack considering the mobility difference.
I’m going to be honest, for total war I’ve never seen a slanesh campaign pop up on my feed
If you're taking requets for WH; Drazhoath plz
Dawi dawi dawi!
I didnt know it could be pronounced anything other than Sovl.... huh...
Hi Janet! Will you do a skarbrand campaign for your next warhammer run?
Turin needs to get some tournaments fro this game going asap
I get it.... but going back to Latin the letter U didn't exist and instead Classical Latin relied on 'V' to represent both of the sounds we would know for /w/ and /u/. Which means it may be Sowl.
