Ruining everyone with Dragons.

some people say I can be pretty harsh to elves but I think my comments have always been pretty fair and quite subtle honestly elves a truly detestable sight the most vile creature in all of the lands it's the elves many many elves will be harmed in the making of this video it's going to be great let's kill some Elves so today I'll prove I'm not a total elf hater by playing the coolest elf of the bunch we call he culen because of course he comes with the big old advantages to dragons and that's all we're going to use today so come with me now as we play the Knights of cindor and try to conquer the world with only dragons so this is a McAuley campaign we're going to be going on very hard very hard with a little bit of a stat boost and beginning here in the southern dark clads we must of course get rid of everything that is not a dragon so that leaves us with just a dragon but we start with a mage hero who does actually get a dragon mount so we will allow her into the army and I figure because I have a dragon maybe I can win my starting battle even though there is some shooty stuff stuff that can be dangerous for our Dragon but as long as we keep it tied up it'll be fine which is what I managed to do other than that I just keep moving and cycle charging and most importantly try to make the best use of breath attacks by getting all the enemy units to gather around my Lord and hero and then hitting them with that breath attack so they're all nice and tightly packed and easily hit by it it took a fair bit of micro but we got it done this allowed me to push on the first settlement although we are quite beaten up we've got a similar situation here but no missiles this time so a little less dangerous for us but we got the job done in the same way just lining up those breath attacks nice cycle charging and trying to Terror out stuff with the dragon so we're able to progress with this campaign straight away without having to Turtle up in our first settlement like I normally have to in these campaigns as I'm recovering a little dwarf Army seems to be forming so I go to take care of that before it gets too big say more deal again same tactics again although in this one we seem to get the pvy dwarf Lord who looks like a bit of a sex offender as he chases my Mage here come here you luckily she escapes his grubby dwarf sausage fingers and this eventually clears the way for us to go and take the final settlement in this province with a battle I have to fight but you can imagine how that went at this point although it was a little tougher with the missile units I nearly lost my dragon but we kept him alive now with this province complete and the dwarves destroyed we can now focus on trying to get our settlement to tier four because that's where we can get the dragons as I'm chilling out growing my Province though we get declared war on by that dirty smelly rat stretch but we also get our first dragon encounter where we can potentially get ourselves a new powerful Dragon but of course I have no Army to do that with yet so I'm going to have to take something else I'm going to go for the influence and use it to get myself a decent second Lord another Mage because they will eventually get that dragon mount so it's Dragon part of the Dragon Army right it's fine now on occasion a trch army would poke its head around and I'd be kind of ready I put my second Lord in Ambush just in case and eventually I managed to get the little bastard in one of my ambushes but I didn't like my chances as I didn't think I'd have any way to protect my missiles and I had a Garrison building in the work so I just waited for that to be built and then he eventually came and attacked me but now we had a much bigger Force and the means to protect our missiles we also got pretty lucky on the map as we had a nice little slope we could put a shield wall on and get all the missiles behind firing away I also had a unit of C I could disrupt their missiles with so they came at us but our shieldy boys were able to hold well Elven Spears of course pretty good at Staying Alive we'll give them that which also helps set up some nice breath attacks and so with that and a hell of a lot of missiles we're able to get rid of this dirty rat Army and just wait for that tier four building so we can recruit dragons but oh shisa my Lord has been attacked by herself she's got caught in an ambush there's no way she could survive sadly she's done for but luckily not all rats are against us as que comes to us and offers not to smash our face in if we just give him a little bit of money which is obviously a no-brainer I start to think about the surrounding factions one of the most dangerous being the Legion of asgor who I decide to actually increase my relations with using some of my influen as we're already improving so this will help keep them off our back for a while at least now here at turn 37 we've reached tier for settlement and we can finally construct our dragony building so a few turns on the time has finally come we can recruit some dragons I can only get two at a time but that's just enough to get two before we get attacked by trch again this time he's come with a much tougher Army got a whole bunch of rat ogres and rattling guns but we got a tougher Army too specifically with our three dragons like some kind of budget Targaryen all the reinforcements come in through a narrow passage which seems like a bit of a curse at first but it actually turns out to be kind of a blessing as we can use it to defend as a nice little choke point I can then use all my missiles sitting behind the spears to blast down all the rat ogres as they Tower above the Spears and have the dragons disrupt the ratling guns as well as of course using some of their many breath attacks that they have available between three dragons and needless to say this enemy Army did not last too long with that out of the way I could now sit back and recruit dragons like there's no tomorrow but I noticed that the chaos dwarves around me were getting pretty big and were kind of starting to surround me but they shared borders with Clan Moors now I decided to check if they were at war with Clan Moos which they weren't so of course I tried to get them to be in the hope the clan Moes might weaken them a bit so I can attack them when my dragon Army is built and I am ready and my Army was coming along nicely I got about 10 dragons before I started to run out of income to spend on it IM of course getting the big reduction to the upkeep of dragons but over the turn drazo came to me and said what did he say he just said give us some money and we'll beat you up okay that's fine I'll do that for now while I keep building my Dragons I'm not ready to take on you yet about this time another dragon encounter came along and I thought I'm finally able to actually challenge this now and it's for shalot the Calamity the big old black dragon bastard Dragon man so let's do it we've got to take on a vampire army with lots of zombies so this should be quite easy this was my first battle using a large Dragon Army and it's always quite a sight to behold to see like 10 dragons descending on the enemy Army even if it is just a Crump a bunch of zombies now of course there wasn't much in this Army that could really stand up to us they had K race they had some ghouls but a couple of breath attacks fire attacks that was the end of all of that until the big dragon man himself showed up shakal lot who we had no choice but to pretty much just gank with Dragons although he was nearly saved when his reinforcements arrived there was actually a few slightly tougher bits but nothing a bunch of dragons couldn't handle with shakal lot nearly dead I decided to try and make a bit of a cinematic finish having imri solo take him down to finish him off he's got half his health he'll be fine he's the anti-large boy the Dragon King nah [ __ ] it mate luckily our dragons were able to finish the job at least and with that we were of course now able to recruit shakal lot the Calamity into our army increasing the size of our Army and the power but then just when things were looking up grimore came along and things kept on looking up as he asked for some money not to beat us up and once again I took that just so we could finish off our Dragon Army eventually I got to about 13 dragon strong before I started to really run out of upkeep that I could afford to spend on this but as I was about to make my push on the chaos dwarfs and start that war I decided to have a scout first and discovered that grimore was there with a wide up Army but he wasn't at war with them yet so I did the same as with Clan Moos decrease their relations and what do you know a few turns on and those two are at War he's at war with Clan Moos as well so that worked earlier too so if we declare war on him now he's not going to be able to put all of his focus on us and thus we should be able to take him down with their help and already grimore has sacked black Fortress which is going to hurt them because that is their main settlement that they start with So the plan is coming together quite nicely but I don't want to declare war on them just yet because they do have two stacks stood in my lands right behind my main Army so I'll wait for them to move off first eh eventually they do and they have a little tussle with grimore and I then decide it's my time to strike I'm going to start at ruins end so I can kind of curl my way around through their Kingdom I go to declare war but I don't realize that they're allied with the pox Bakers of nurgle who are nearby to me but I decide to say heck it and I go for it anyway let's see what these dragons can do I take ruins end but then there's a bunch of Ur Army knocking around we kind of dance around each other no one attacking anyone and then eventually grimore comes along and just scares them both off and clears the path for me to go and take pigs barter which will complete the province with ruins end and now I finally have a second Province although I'm not expecting to hold on to it very well because nurgle's going to be constantly pressuring me from that direction and I intend to go after the chaos dwarfs which I need to do right now as there is one of their armies there in force March it's not the toughest army with goblins and Orcs but I'll take the auto resolve here eventually gri ends up in a fight with those two nurgle armies with the help of my Garrison so it's mostly him doing the work I'm going to say yes cuz it's a close Victory and we can get rid of those two nural armies and just keep that direction a little bit safer for a while cheers grimo boys you really are the best now after coming home and replenishing for a while I decide it's time to finally launch my assault on the main chaos dwarf LS but at the same time one of draz O's armies have come over to attack pigs Bara but it's fine whatever I don't really care if I lose it I actually managed to do a ton of damage to their army as it was a lot of Orcs And Goblin but I wasn't able to fend them off but it didn't really matter they only sacked it in the end and then seemed to buger off so then I finally made my push on black Fortress I had to take a couple of turns wearing them down but eventually I got a pic Victory Auto resolve didn't lose anything nice I then found myself at another Dragon encounter where I could once again challenge the dragon this time imra the Eternal my dragon Army still growing more impressive by the turn especially now as imri had got his Dragon man near which has made him far more powerful and in this one we're of course against the lizard men who do have some slightly more dangerous threats to my dragons like a Ferro carnosaur or there's also all these salamander types who have got anti-large bonuses on their missiles so there are some dangerous units to be careful of in this one and eventually they even send a dread soran along who dwarfs a dragon you realize how big a dread soran is when you see it next to a dragon who looks tiny but all in all we were able to get the victory although we took a fair pounding the lizard men putting up a good fight they even managed to kill one of our precious dragons but he will be replaced by imra himself so can't complain with the eastern part part of the chaos dwarf's Kingdom taken I now needed to push a little bit north to take the Sentinels and then West for the rest of it after taking the Sentinels though I forgot that this happens in im's campaigns but he gets Confederation with cidor which I am going to take cuz free stuff so that's going to give me a little bit of income but also I can now get trade agreements with all of ulwan so there's a [ __ ] ton more money right there too the chaos dwarfs are pushing back though they've come into my lands where I have no armies to defend and have decided to attack the one settlement they're probably not going to take cuz it's got a dragon in The Garrison it was actually a bit tougher than I expected drazo himself was on the field but I pretty much broke their army in two they had four different little armies coming at me from two different sides so I just ignored one side and made half of their army fight my entire Army so we heavily outnumbered them and then did the same thing to the remaining side which had come into the settlement and was about in the middle of the settlement fighting over the flag as we all were we had a nice little battle there it was a tough fight but we got the job done in the end even killed drazo so we took care of that Army keeping our starting Province safe for now but as I prepared to move west there was another big drazo army this one considerably tougher it did seem to disappear but as I left my settlement I found an opportunity to intercept them and decided to take it as it was just a close victory that Army was now out the way two big drazo armies done for and that freed me up to take the last settlement in this province giving us three full provinces now my Mage finally got her dragon mount as well and of course I've been putting all of IMR skill points into buffing up the dragons as much as possible I'm now going to get heart of the flame that gives armor melee defense physical resistance so all my dragons just got a bit tougher after replenishing for a bit we carry on with our taking of the chaos dwarf's Kingdom but as I Look to take crookback Mountain I noticed it's got a big 20 stack Garrison as well as a little army there so I decide to do the dragon encounter that happens to be nearby to get ourselves another new big Spicy Dragon and my dragon Army now 16 dragon strong shouldn't really struggle with this it's against the tomb Kings I send imri and the big unique dragons after gonard the big unique Dragon we're trying to get and after a few breath attacks we send in the boys and well it doesn't take long to dismantle the tomb Kings so another legendary dragon in our midst although I forget to put him in my Army straight away and I get attacked by two drazo armies while we're still recovering so we're a bit beaten up we're going to have to pull out the dragon flying V tactic which has absolutely no purpose other than looking [ __ ] cool which might make them jealous and make them make a mistake which has happened here as their lord is charged into all of my dragons in the v so I have all of my dragons attack him 16 versus 1 needless to say he didn't last very long I started off with a bunch of breath attacks of course to soften things up nicely before we got into melee there was a few units of blunder buses around who are especially dangerous to our dragons they are very powerful so I needed to make sure I disrupted them which I wasn't doing very well here they also had some fire glaves and some Goblin archers so there was a lot of missiles there was also some anti-large the centors and a lot of my dragons did get beaten up I had to pull them back and put them in a little wounded crew over here but with a lot of cycle charging a lot of moving around a lot of breath attacks we were able to eventually get them but with Total War being Total War even though all my dragons survived it decided that hey actually a bunch of them didn't survive and so the size of my dragon Army had taken a hit for now but after a little rebuilding we were now ready to take on crookback mountain and it's 20 Garrison to do this though I took a little bit of a different approach as there is a right that gives you plus three dragon breath attacks on top of what you already have so that's going to be at least six breath attacks per Dragon although I happen to have seven for some reason so that is what I did as I rolled up on crookback Mountain I attacked with primarily breath attacks a little bit of melee here and there to disrupt missiles and stuff but mostly we were just having a dwarf cookout which as you can imagine was incredibly effective completely safe from danger for the most part and potentially able to do massive damage with every breath attack which thoroughly nullified the enemy strength here which was of course melee infantry now with crookback mountain under our belt we were nearly four provinces strong in this region my Empire was growing nicely I've got six grand of income I've just recruited some star dragons from from one of my other Lords and brought them over to im's Army so that he can push on the final settlement of the chaos dwarves which is the Tower of gorgoth so basically the last stand for the chaos dwarfs here they've got a couple of big armies but it's a lot of Orcs a lot of goblins nothing terribly dangerous to us nevertheless I'm going to play it smart here and not dive into this massive crowd of enemies here I'm going to fly around the map and take out all the little enemy units that are just kind of by themselves are in small groups overpowering them with dragon fire and many dragons on their heads so I can dismount their armies a little piece at a time rather than trying to take on the big chunks all in all it works a treat we're able to take things out without receiving too much damage ourselves and we basically slowly forced them to feed their army to us in different directions to my different Dragon parties and with that and chasing down their final little army nearby that is the end of the Legion of asgor now as this region wasn't part of any of my provinces I decided to give it to kazak carak cuz they were big powerful and friendly with me and they could provide me some protection from the north I decided to finish this campaign by dealing with nurgle and taking care of him but my pig SP settlement is under siege it has had a rebellion there's some ogres around who did end up taking the settlement but I go over beat up the armies around and then reclaim the settlement and all the while I've been building a second dragon army with my other Lord hamara so we can hopefully steam our way through nuron before I launch my assault though I've got one last dragon encounter I can do to get one more unique Dragon this time it's fighting Nora for Laro the Frozen boy dragon yada y you know how this one plays out the norin stuff doesn't have a ton of leadership so it doesn't last terribly long but they do send four mammoths at us towards the end but it's not quite a match for like 20 dragons although tell a li that was only 19 dragons and laroo himself is actually my 20th Dragon giving me the full Dragon stack I use this unlimited power to charge into the nurgle lands although attrition is always a problem but luckily we've got a right for that that can make us immune to attrition so we're definitely going to use that when attacking nurgle and I begin my assault of his various under defended settlements with easy quick decisive victories on those but Nole does retaliate by trying to come and take my settlements but luckily my second dragon Army is there to stop them all the while imri is starting to push onto the islands now to try and get rid of these settlements but I eventually decide to push back the other way just in case more nurgle armies start causing problems and those two nurg armies do eventually find a way round our defenses and start getting into our territory so I have to chase them down and get rid of them but luckily im's able to keep progress rolling and taking settlements eventually I'm able to get my two armies to meet up which I've been trying to do for ages because I gave my other Army all the star dragons which are very expensive with the intention to give them to imri because he can make them much cheaper with his upkeep reduction so now I'm finally able to do that save us a bit of money I begin my push in two different directions on nurgle's Kingdom or should I say kath's Kingdom kugath who I do manage to get an ambush on with hamara harami not as strong as imri obviously but still pretty damn strong with 20 dragons I decided to organize a synchronized breath attack on this one launching all my breath attacks at roughly the same time which does look pretty damn glorious and does a shisa ton of damage I set up another one or two of these add in a little Kath bukaki and we're done another nurgle Army down and another Dragon encounter on the way for another unique Dragon this time it's against the wood elves which is perfect for me because I love killing elves especially when it's by dragon fire from another elf faction it was a great day and another dragon in the bag I then just clean up the Eastern side of Kat's kingdom here and then I need to bring imri over to help hamar because she's getting overrun by nurgle armies they seem to be able to spawn up armies pretty damn quick and she can't get into the islands so I divide my armies attacking from two different directions needless to say im's Army is very powerful with imri himself all the unique dragons a whole ton of star dragons he's able to take a bunch of settlements and armies out by his Dam cell it's then just a case of finishing off the rest of the islands there's a couple of settlements up north I didn't notice so I send hamara to go and deal with them and with that the land is now clear of nurgle we've got a nice little dragon Empire here and it's been fun I've actually really enjoyed this campaign I thought it was going to be a bit of a struggle with only dragons I thought they might be too expensive to pull off a full Army of them and high off stuff generally quite expensive but we got two full stacks of dragons we got enough money for a third one as well we got six grand of income 46 in the bank I've got most of the victory conditions done so dragon only armies work pretty damn well for imri it seems I hope you've enjoyed this thanks for watching thanks to all
