The Twilight Realm Showdown: Church of Majora vs Midna's Alliance: Massive 1-Hour Battle (M2EX)

Back for another massive 4v4 custom battle in Hyrule: Total War Classic Ultimate using M2EX on my new PC! This time, the battlefield is set deep inside The Twilight Realm. Performance Note: While the game ran smoothly overall, I did experience some mild stuttering when panning the camera directly toward Majora in the middle of the battle, though it cleared up afterward. I suspect the game engine occasionally stutters during heavy camera movement, and since my current setup is running on 16GB RAM, I definitely still need to upgrade to 32GB for absolute maximum performance! Clocking in at 1 hour and 5 minutes, this was an intensely close, long-lasting battle—much longer than our previous 40-minute clashes! Because of all the spellcasters and mages on the field, it took quite a while before the final units were wiped out or forced to retreat. Mid-way through the video, I even jump into third-person control to play as Majora Zelda III directly for parts of the fight! The Matchup: The Evil Coalition: The Church of Majora: Led by the dark god Majora himself and the resurrected undead Princess Mahrala Nohansen Zelda III (Majora's version). (Fun fact: I accidentally added the same character to both sides! This version is the reanimated undead princess serving the dark forces.) The Kingdom of Ikana: Led by King Igos du Ikana, Princess Gomess, Captain Keeta, Garo Ninja, and the Poe hero from HTW 4.7. The Forces of the Twilight (Red skins): Led by King Zant, Lady Middee, Dark Onox, and the dragon Argorok. River / Wild Zora: Led by Princess Sokuuf, King Zarozef, the Berserker Baruda'Khan, and Archduke Neighleith. The Forces of Good: Forces of the Twilight (Twili color): Led by Queen Midna and Great Fairy Una / Una the Brave. Darknut Legion: Led by Yaraxonal (the former Sage of Spirits) and the dark knight Senturon. The Order of the Wizzrobe: Led by Hylia the False Goddess, Nostrum the Pyromancer, Carock the Illusionist, Cia the Mage, Halthor (the robber baron and leader of the Keaton cartel), and Princess Mahrala Nohansen Zelda III (appearing in her blonde-haired Hyrule Warriors look—the same character as the Twilight Princess version, but customized specifically for the Wizzrobe faction). The Sheikah: (Originally positioned with Agahnim's forces before being drafted to the good side to balance teams!) Led by Lord Agahnim, Impa (Sage of Shadows), Bongo-Bongo, and Sheik (Princess Oraia Nohansen Zelda IV in Neph's lore, who was originally killed by Lord Akazoo, leader of the Stalfos, before being brought back to life as a Sheikah hero). They field low unit counts, but feature elite, lightning-fast assassin troops and a select group of mages. The Outcome: After a brutally tight, hour-long war of attrition and a massive magical meatgrinder of mages hurling spells back and forth, the Forces of Evil ultimately emerged victorious! #HyruleTotalWar #Medieval2TotalWar #M2EX #ZeldaMod #PCGaming #MrNygren #CustomBattle
