Total War Warhammer - Dark Elves Lore, Army, Units and Tactics

Ойындар

The Dark Elves of Naggaroth are a race in Warhammer fantasy who will be a DLC or expansion race and faction for Total War Warhammer. This video will cover the lore, army compositions, units, and tactics of the Dark Elves, as well as Dark Elves Legendary Lord choices and how they might be implemented in Total War Warhammer on their home continent of Naggaroth.
Indypride from milkandcookiesTW also covers possible legendary lord choices, and possible gameplay mechanics like the Black Arks, the Cult of Khaine, Death Night, Slave Economy, Civil Wars, quest battles, and wars against the Daemons of Chaos and Warriors of Chaos from the Chaos Wastes that could make the Dark Elves campaign very unique, interesting, fun, and lore friendly.

    Wondering how to pronounce Druchii? Well, don't wonder no longer! gavthorpe.co.uk/dark-elves-qa-miscellaneous/ "To get it ‘right’, you need to roll the ‘r’ a little, the ‘ch’ is a hard sound as in loch or German, and the double ‘i’ is pronounced ‘ee-aye’. Something like ‘drru-key-aye’. However, ‘dru-key’ is the easier, anglicised version for everyday conversation."

    1,5h of watching this is a better, more, immersive, gripping and entertaining build up to the game than any official trailer or announcement could ever be. Seriously, if CA sees that kind of dedication to the game and the lore that is based on they should consider promoting your videos. I frankly think that your lore videos set the standard for what many people want and wish from the upcoming games. And that's something you should take no small amount of pride in. Loved to watch the previous lore videos, eagerly awaiting the upcoming ones.

    Jochem Schipper Arch is a great guy, he's one of the few who makes his own narratives when talking about warhammer, unlike those fucks "oneeyesyndicate" who just copies lexicanum word by word. and this is new, the community never pitted content creators against each other. Arch has been our longest community content provider long before milkandcookies even existed and his loyalty to the brand, to the fanbase, and to himself is the thing that proppelled his channel as the one largest warhammer content creator. I find it disgusting that there's suddenly a surge to discredit him by making factions in the warhammer community.

Thankyou for all of the effort you put into it, it was truly very enjoyable to watch! I also love all of your mechanic ideas for the Dark Elves in campaign. Here's hoping they include some form of each of them! Given the detail and character that they put into Bretonnia's unique campaign mechanics, I am hopeful!

I can't wait to send Malekith and his armies against the hosts of the Asur. Let me tear down the great gates of Ulthuan! I'd also like to see Malus Darkblade and eventually Lokhir Fellheart, who I felt never got anywhere close to the amount of attention he should have.

    Go read Warhammer Fantasy. You'll get it. If this IS the end times chess (where Archaon is playing against the Everwatcher in the Warp trying to map out his route of attack by imagining what each LL of every major faction could and would do in the event of an attack), then he (Sigmar shard) DOES get Heavens magic. And why not Valten? instead of being so dismissive give reasons. The EARLIEST TWW trailers/cover art listed Franz as Melee/Caster WITH lore of heavens.

    As of right now he is just the emperor and the best stateman the empire has ever had, and not Valten is simple he serves no purpose he doesn't change up the game or allow for any unique gameplay and the only reason the character was created has been retconned into oblivion and in the end times he only killed some chaos champions plus he basically is just another mounted heavily armored hero killer like Franz but Franz has a gryphon so yeah Valten he's just unnecessary and their are so many other Legendary Hero because he definitely wouldn't be a Lord characters that make more since like Ludwig Schwartzhelm, and Luthor Huss

    Love the video. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) had any thoughts on who the DLC races would be for the second game. I think we have a pretty good idea who the 4 starting races are (Lizardmen, high elves, dark elves, and skaven as the fourth I would think) but what would the DLC races be. We got 8 races total for the first game, so who else could join the fun?

    When it comes to Dark Elves cities I think it would be best to have the main cities in naggaroth function as the same as wood elves cities. When going to the Old world you can take over the cities and mountain strongholds like a wood elves outpost but with better defenses, occupying them let's you harvest slaves boosting economy and pleasing the cults. To make this easier you have the black arc which will function as horde cities on sea that can't get too close to the coast, they also should be able visible from far away do to there size. You can only recruit black arcs x amount of times so losing one would be very bad and you start with 1 or none. Then skaven and lizardmen settlements can only be sacked or razed as you can't enslave them and the cities of ulthuan can be occupied/sacked/razed to expand the dark elf empire or wipe out the high elves. As a side note, If they don't add navy, then fighting the black arc could be done by putting all your units on basic boats and sieging it with these boats, you would be able to make tower boats to climb the walls or ram boats that destroy the the sea gates and then enter through the black arcs ports What do you guys think?

    I believe it lowered the penalty, I seem to remember an alliance breaking if we weren't on good terms before. So you can get Akechi Mitsuhide type situations. I do remember a couple games where it was two to three other clans and vassals fighting off 2/3rds of Japan.

    You know how the High Elves have many forts throughout the world to act as naval bases, might the Dark Elves want to build something similar, e.g. occupy 2 or 3 coastal settlements in Lustria, Southlands, Old World and Araby/badlands? Also, there's some interesting ideas on regional occupancy on the reddit, e.g. www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/61im52/proposed_new_map_and_regional_occupancy/?st=j0rka4g8&sh=c7467bd3 In this system, they could take any "plains" or "ice" settlement - would it be worth seeing Dark Elves actively take on the Skaeling or Varg (not as an objective of course)? Just to add some variety to their invasions

    About Clar Karond and Karond Kar. Clar Karond is the one in the south that is the main shipwright and port of the fleet and well as a center for beastmasters. Karond Kar is like you said a forced passage slave trade hub (beastmasters too) but not from the Underground Sea, in fact it's located on the opposite side of Naggaroth from the Underground Sea. It's the traditionnal raiding route to the east instead. For the Destroyer I think a good implementation would be a single target active ability that instantly adds 20 or 30 seconds of cooldown to at least all active abilities and at most all spells as well. A hit from the destroyer can make mages lose a level in TT which is a big deal so not being able to cast for 20 seconds would represent that. I think this is something that is totally doable, in fact I feel I could fairly easily mod something like that myself. Not OP, no RNGesus and can be clutch on a magic caster if well timed.

    Thanks for that clarification! Malekith with all his items and spells is going to be obscenely expensive, I hope he's worth bringing. How did he fare in tabletop? not sure which editions you played

    @dalakhsarothal9624

    7 жыл бұрын

    No matter the edition Malekith was too expensive to ever really pay off (or even be fielded) except in a really massive game. The fact that he was both melee and spellcaster made him more overpriced than anything since he couldn't really do both at the same time. Most of the time he could end up cannoned to death or bogged down on unsignificant chaff if you opponent was smart, especially on his dragon His armor gives him a +2 ward against anything not magic so he's almost like ethereal but he really didn't like magic even with the spellshield. Bottom line he's a beast both in magic (not the best lore though) and melee but in TT it was hard to make him pay off and he had a weakness to magic. Completely OP in End Times though with the ridiculousness of combined profiles and the no limit on lords. In TWWH though, melee doesn't really prevent you from casting and you can adjust the investment into it, also flying is a much bigger deal and let's you choose your engagement always. I wonder if he'll get a massive physical resistance like TT. I doubt DE will get lore of life though, hopefully the Soulstealer spell from lore of dark magic gets in and is both selfheal and a direct damage like TT, that would be super cool.
