Welcome to Roam my friends! My name is Eric. I am college welding instructor and I love video games. You will see a mixture of first looks (the first two hours or so of a game) and long term play-throughs (30+ episodes). I generally play games with their origins in table top strategy and role playing and/or with a strong modding community. Games based in the Battletech, Warhammer 40k, or AD&D universes or games heavily inspired by those genres will be the type of thing you will see here on the channel. I am a big sports fan and so there might be the occasional motorsport or sports game (Football Manager for example) that might also make an appearance. The channel is meant to be casual place to hang out and play the games we love. I welcome comments and critiques and try to run the channel in completely transparent manner. If you have any questions about the youtube side of things or why I've made a certain decision, please ask. Thank you again and Cheers!
Confederation 🐉 A Noob Plays Total War: Warhammer 3 🐉 ep8
I am attempting to jump back into Total War: Warhammer 3 again after upgrading my computer. In the past we had some (presumably) driver issues that caused continual crashing and I was unable to even complete the tutorial campaign. With the new hardware playing nice with the game I was able to complete that first campaign and i'm ready to jump into a let's play for the channel. I am going to follow the games advise and try the Iron Dragon of Cathay. I would love to hear some tips and tricks and LORE about Grand Cathay as I know very little about them in general and next to nothing about them in the context of this game.

SOVL Fantasy Battles ⁞ Empire of Man • Captain -» part 1
Переглядів 1738 годин тому
SOVL is a tactical battle game in the vein of classic Warhammer Fantasy. There is a single player rogue-lite campaign with a branching map similar to Slay the Spire and many other games. There is also a multiplayer mode and an army builder. My understanding is that the game is based on a tabletop system so the army builder and multiplayer modes can be used hand in hand with the tabletop. Today ...

The system of this camp is yin and yang so if you balance it, it will have better effect. Even the army (army is counted separately in the war)
That's a beautiful dog
I agree. :)
Your camera location blocks your current gold on the map.
thanks, i've been trying to find someplace that works for both games and i missed that. I will adjust it for part 2.
Yeah i also keep forgetting to mention this every video :p
if i can say one thing that i love about this channel its the thumbnails oh and the puppers
Last battle was tight
Oh i know that game
👌👌👌😎👍👍👍👍
You should consider Crused standard on a unit next time. Additional attack each model for a large unit is crazy
that's a good idea.
I think you have too many slow tank units and only the raptors are fast damage dealers
i would argue that the raptors are really my only damage dealers regardless of speed. :)
I love being able to say a couple of slimy Geico Geckos could outclass the forces of literal Chaos and destruction by saving on their Car Insurance
just wait until we bring in the caveman for reinforcements. :)
Quacks quack 🥤🦆🍿
Thank you for video
you are welcome. i'm sorry i couldn't get you more giants. :(
@@RoamGaming It's okay, you tried to help me fulfill my wish. So don't apologize. 😁
Really enjoyed it hope you do some more
i will do some more. i think an actual ranked battle is next on my list.
This build is really struggling
i struggle with the undead in general. by far my worst faction.
Great series
Thank you!
You beat each faction twice!? Damn I cant get past act 2 with anyone x.x
i've got 3 wins on a handful of factions. I've also got 30+ games under my belt so i've put in some time on this one and i watched a bunch of other youtubers play before i started. you'll get there!
@RoamGaming Damn that's a lot if experience! Watching a lot and not doing bad with orcs!
I'm from vietnam and like the game you play. Can I ask you to play all giants, any race is ok
i think i would have to do a ranked battle to do that. I havn't seen giants as an option to purchase in the normal campaign until the last store. Even then I don't see them very often. I'll look into though. I think it would be fun.
@@RoamGaming thank ,If my above request is difficult to fulfill, you can choose quantity over quality.
Another cool artwork for the game that looks like something a factory monitoring computer would display.. to me it’s too simplistic unfortunately but I do appreciate it exists
I am amazed Games Workshop hasn’t sued the hell out of this. I mean I am glad but still, these are just Skaven down to the unit roster.
Well the first rat people species comes from "Devil Crystals of Arret", a novelette by Hal K. Wells, first published in Astounding Stories, September 1931, that's predating GW fantasy warhammer by 50 years (give or take a few), they don't have a real ground to sue. Giving Rat a plague theme is old as ... well the plague, and renaissance weaponry is under common property intellectually, in the end GW don't sue, because they probably can not win this
How tf is this game not sued to death by GW? They plagiarized lots of things from warhammer fantasy 😂
what would GW even sue about ?
@@RomainHDL don't know man, maybe the dozens and dozens of things that are literally the same about skavens and orcs and goblins from warhammer fantasy? If you don't know about warhammer fantasy those things can get over your head, but for anybody who knows is instanly recognizeable
@@andrewdelaerranz9648 Oh, I fully understand this, I am asking about specifics that GW could sue about. Because right now there's nothing that's GW only in there, Wow (who copied GW) has had those for decade(s) now without lawsuits and could be the source of inspiration. Orcs as warriors is a concept old as tolkien mythology, skaven (specifically originated in 1930 ish) or beast/rat people exist since the dawn of folktales, human knights are just fantasy staple. What I was saying is : on what ground would GW sue, since themselves are using thousands of references, most of them from public domain. So long as they don't use trademarks from GW they are fine. (It's the same between palworld and pokemon from nintendo) : you can not sue about a concept that can not be protected. So unless the try to add Nagash to the game, they are not going to get problems is what I say
@@RomainHDL i agree. the fluff is what makes warhammer. the unit types are essentially generic fantasy. WOW ripped off a very specific art style and even claimed that their original warcraft rts games were an homage to Warhammer. That was a much more egregious case in my opinion.
@@RoamGaming yeah, it's even worse, warcraft original RTS was supposed to BE a warhammer fantasy rts game at the start, they didn't get the licence in the end but had already made everything, so they just went through with it, made their own lore for what was there, and boom, warcraft (even the name is adjacent) was born, didn't get sued, set the precedent hehe
Ohh man, I tried this game I couldn't even get past the 3rd fight over a good few attempts. Glad to learn a bit more before I give it another go! I tried Undead, but they felt very underpowered against the Humans and Orcs I faced.
undead is the hardest faction for me.
We need an Atlas carrying an accordion LRM 100.
Cool game
Pixel art looks better on crts that’s why it was an option but bulging the screen was dumb.
I still remember complaining as a kid when my GameCube looked bad on my families new plasma tv.
With the last battle at the end, double-check the terrain as I have had some problems with the game double layering with the rocks and the trees throwing me off a couple of battles. Love the gameplay and always trying to bless those rng game dice. They say there are fair. But we know that unless the Chaos God of Change himself hates you, Tezzentch dice rolls are always against you.
The dice seem to be true random. The problem is that real dice aren't. So people are more used to real dice, which you tend to subconsciously learn to throw "better" than average.
holy geebus those minotaurs are cracked!
Was talking about going to a welding trade school the other day and then a gamer who is a welding instructor pops up. Must be a sign lol instant subscribe
Definitely a sign!
Running the Vampire Knight with mostly fast attack units like the bats is my favorite army composition in this game. I think you need to spend more turns maneuvering into position and setting up multiple charges to use them effectively though.
Did not realise cruelty weapon enhancement works on spells. Good to know :)
Unique set of quirks for the Atlas Kraken Hero 'Mech Weapon cooldown modifier: -10.0 % Weapon heat generation modifier: -10.0 % Weapon optimal range modifier: +10.0 % Weapon max range modifier: +10.0 % Gauss cooldown modifier: -20.0 % The Atlas Hero comes equipped with higher density armor Center torso armor bonus: +36 Right torso armor bonus: +30 Left torso armor bonus: +30 Right leg armor bonus: +21 Left leg armor bonus: +21 Right arm armor bonus: +10 Left arm armor bonus: +10
Please note I think weapons dont stack (so they replace whatever the current weapon is)
i'll have to look into that. thanks!
Oh shit a shout out! Good work saying my name right, not a lot do haha. Good playing!
happy to give credit where credit is due. :)
I don't think the "A Thousand Mouths" spell is very good. 3 to 9 hits with a power of 2. It is best used on low defense units like archers or fonder. It can't be used if the unit is engaged, just like archers or artillery. Granted, even against a 7 defense triceratops, on average, it will get one hit. Maybe if there is a second caster with ruin. More testing needed. In my experience, the best thing to target is moral. Once a unit breaks it is near useless for 2 turns. That is if it does make it's subsequent save. amd hasn't ran off the battle feild. So I'm not particularly a fan of casters in general at the moment, or archers really. I get the appeal and all, I just feel like I would have been better of with anything else.
"A Thousand Mouths" is pretty much worthless as far as i can tell at this point. I think archers are very powerful though. The elven units especially really mess me up.
@@RoamGaming Well luck isn't one of my strengths. Anything with 3 or less power seems to be near useless. So archers seem to get nothing done while handgunner seem to be death incarnate. I've been shredded by archers too. I've learned to keep my units engaged to deal with them and force enemy lines to beak to move forward. I make a lot of little mistakes all the time so maybe I'm still not using them effectively. I'm sure a dense 25 stake of elven archers are deadly. It's just getting them there in the campaign.
So there are a lot of Mechs we won't be able to use based on your comment.
There are a lot of mechs in mods that won't be able to be used. I think the majority of the vanilla mechs have full cockpits.
How are you liking it?
I liked it a lot! I do wish the UI had an AR overlay similar to the lore so that i didn't have to always look down and around the cockpit for info that should be part of the heads up display, but other than that, it worked great.
Great job this run. Elves rule, gnomes drool!
12:30 you mixed up skill and power. To hit is skill vs. skill, saves is power vs. defence.
whoops. thanks.
4 regular and 1 elite battles ending with only one casualty is pretty darn impressive!
i'm slowly getting the hang of this thing. :) I think i accidentally ended up with a pretty good mix of units as well.
Wow what a game
You do roll for attacks. But instead of rolling to hit you roll how many times you hit. And i believe those perjs affect that.
we'll have to test that next time!
PoE soundtrack! Love it!
Love the music from Pillars, I have used it alot i my D&D campaigns
nice. the music in SOVL is fine, but i think it's just one track that repeats infinitely so i decided to play something else. all three episodes of this run use music from different game soundtracks.
I think you should take at least one elite fight in act 1 if you are in good health. Sets you up nicely for act 2.
i don't see any benefit to taking an elite fight. you get a touch more money but i don't think it makes up for the extra potential unit loses. am i missing something or do you think the money is significant enough to tip the balance?
@@RoamGaming yeaah i see your point, ive had several runs where an elite fight was the difference betwen win or loss. its double edged sword if you will.been times where the elite faction roll was ass and wiped and others where it was a walk in the park ansd i got free money. id say if you your in a comfortable position (like this video) with pretty much full troops you should take the elite and get the extra cash. but only in act 1. elite on act 2 are always ass and best avoided at all costs :P
@@MrQueijada excellent advice.
Yup if you can flank on 2 opposite sides and they fail discipline test the unit is destroyed
"+1 charge to the power" i laughed way harder than i should have😂
sometimes words are hard. :)
Use your mage as mobile artillery, an keep him out of the front lines. Only charge him in flanks an rear after spells are fired off. 1 Spellpower, is the best choice you can get with mage, it increases the number of hits spells cause.
I second this. Having a high mobility mage is great, especially on a dragon. Imageine this, mage spell+firebreath+back charge the next turn= full unit wipe or rout. Unless theyre undead then they just shit themselves but still keep fighting :p
I think I am getting better at using mobility for my range units better, to include my casters.
