Sorry for the low audio volume, Blender somehow decided to turn down the volume during rendering. Video is crystal clear on PC but youtube compresses it heavily, so meh. Slayer/BW/WL point of view, TUP + Phalanx alliance + /5 city warbands mostly.
Recorded between early Feb to early March in 2020, during the first 5 weeks after cities released. Recorded most, lost some due to crashing, might make more videos from later cities but decided to keep this one under 30 mins. :)

If my gameplay looks weird, its probably due to L2P issues and severe sleep deprivation due to city logging at random hours with Discord pings. Our guild was used to bombing at leaders spot, so it took some time to figure out how to perform better as a meleetrain running over healers and who should assist whom.
Video showcases just how absurdly strong Order can be when running proper setups. Most of the morale options have been nerfed since thing, so now you no longer can dumpster the enemy as fast as before.

Several goblins were harmed during the filming of this video.

Nitpicked cities from a year ago, are you serious? Cherry picked instances against opponents that never stood a chance. Since that time order has only been nerfed, while destruction keeps getting order unique abilities mirrored. But TuP will always swap to the overperforming realm then say it's actually underdog, nothing new there. Good video btw.

You showcase how Order is absurdly strong by not using Rampage once during the first fight?

And then using Burning Head 1800 damage when Squig Herders can now do the same at 115 range and for 2400 damage, and reach that level far faster than BW with a Shaman helping?

If order formed a warband with 5 BW now they would probably lose to pugs. None of the videos even feature the mythic "Slayer Train" . Is this meant to show something?

Yes, it's meant to show how good they are apparently and that it's a L2P issue that order is losing 75% cites. They haven't even played order for like 6 months now

You've said before that Exalted Defenses = heal advantage for Order, but your video demonstrates that it doesn't come without cost. From what I can see you were interrupted/CCed/pulled dozens of times during your ED uptime, which left you only 1-3 heal casts while it was actually up.
