With Marienburg out of the way, we get to grips with another target for territorial expansion. Well, sort of... What ? No!

Bit of a campaign map / lore & dumb humour / poor historical analogies heavy episode.

Next episode should be out a week from now & will be much more battle heavy. Still - I hope the commentary makes up for the slightly ponderous place of the gameplay!

Thought I'd record a series on the side to keep this channel ticking over, although I still can't get back to uploading regular content until September / October of this year unfortunately.

Anyway, I bought Warhammer Total War to play co-op with a friend of mine, and since those sessions tend to be quite shouty and disorganised a lot of the time, figured I'd be better to record a separate single player campaign to upload here. In theory I'll be uploading a new episode every 3 days - so part 2 should be out on the Friday the 17th, and part 3 on Monday the 20th.

This series isn't intended to be solely a let's play, or a walkthrough, or a guide, but a daft amalgamation of the three - if you want to watch it that way. The first few episodes are necessarily tentative as there are a lot of mechanics, lore and strategic choices to discuss, but hopefully there's enough light heartedness / poor attempts at humour to make this series watchable for its own sake.

I don't make any claims to be the most knowledgeable person in the world about Total War or Games Workshop, but I used to play a fair bit of Warhammer FB up until about a decade ago (not that it matters now, since GW have chucked the whole Warhammer universe in the bin as of last year in favour of some weird 40k clone) and I've also played through every Total War game right back to Shogun and Medieval Total War back in the early 2000s. So, if you ARE looking for discussion of Warhammer lore, or want to use this guide for tips / strategies on the campaign map & battle map, hopefully you'll find what you're looking for here.
