More information about Medieval 2 Total War SSHIP.
SSHIP, or Stainless Steel Historical Improvement Project, is an ambitious mod for Medieval II Total War, known for its historical accuracy and unique gameplay changes. It has won first place in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 TWC Modding Awards for Medieval II Total War Submods. Here are some key features of SSHIP:
Unique Settlements: SSHIP adjusts the sizes and populations of cities and castles based on historical data. Major cities like Constantinople can start with a population of around 150,000, making public order a challenge to manage. In contrast, less developed regions like Scandinavia, Cumania, or Lithuania have smaller and slower-growing towns and villages, offering a diverse range of settlement experiences.
Buildings The mod discourages a “build everything everywhere” approach by introducing specific positive and negative factors for most buildings. Players must make strategic decisions on whether to construct a building based on its impact. There’s also a limited tech tree, and advanced buildings may require specific professions like stonemasons or carpenters.
Economy SSHIP increases the cost of units and buildings, introduces siege upkeep, and incorporates more corruption in large cities. This change makes it important for players to manage their economy efficiently. On the positive side, the AI is more resource-conscious and focuses on settlement upgrades when not at war, reducing stack spam.
Dynamic Gameplay: SSHIP aims to enhance the game’s dynamic nature by introducing various events and challenges. This prevents repetitive gameplay and keeps the experience engaging.
Religious Orders The mod adds depth to religious orders, making it more challenging to recruit religious order knights if your global standing is low or you are excommunicated. It introduces consequences for building too many major Templar buildings, such as unrest. The Teutonic Knights become available under specific conditions, adding historical accuracy to the game.
Crusader Support: Players can improve their standing with the Pope by supporting the Crusader States. The Pope periodically demanded financial assistance for the Crusades.
Family Dynamics SSHIP introduces a family-based system for plots and struggles for power within medieval kingdoms. Characters can have traits like “Rightful Leader/Heir,” “Plots,” “Usurper/Usurping,” and “Regent,” which affect their loyalty, behaviour, and potential to seize power. These features collectively create a historically accurate and engaging gameplay experience, offering a fresh perspective on Medieval II Total War.

Hey everyone my name is simpy how you all doing welcome Definitive Edition stainless steel historical Improvement project modded England campaign on very hard very hard let’s go now guys let me know in the comments tips and tricks for s ship those who have done multiple campaigns maybe I can
Learn some things also you guys in the comments might be able to learn some things as well or all righty I’m super excited for my first campaign very hard very hard of course playing as England a really nice testing ground it uh is going to take a little
Bit of time before we bring all of the entirety of the United Kingdom under our control uh I’ve been talking to some people some people in the Discord that have played this mod a fair bit and they said it can take up to what 30 50 turns
To get all of England under your control we do have Scotland we’re going to have to deal with and there’s a bunch of Rebel settlements as well so here’s some information here is what very hard does obviously makes the campaign well very hard and I’m sure there’s a bunch of features
And additional content that I haven’t leared and figured out just yet I really do like the family tree from what I was experiencing uh doing a couple test campaigns you can actually grow a dynasty you can choose the air and they’re so much more realistic and
Sensible as well so for this series I think taking all of the entirety of the United Kingdom is the first play try and hold on to our northern France settlements and then obviously we want to try and take aquatan so England is one of the strongest factions in the
Mods and doesn’t receive any special support nice the English reforms have not been fully implemented but we do have stuff like the Magna cataa English archers uh some special books like the Winchester Bible you don’t need to do anything for particular reforms okay thank you attacking only with generals
Oh okay so this is even a harder script look I’m going to turn this off because one of the reasons I like to be back in medieval to is that I like playing with units that can attack on their own if they want to I don’t necessarily like
The newer Total Wars when they lock generals to armies so I think we’ll turn that off but I do think it’s quite cool and and sensible that you can’t go out and attack with a general just to add even harder difficulty so we’re not going to
Turn that on for example we’re not going to turn on the uh what is it the construction feature where you can of course only construct and build unit UNS with a general we’re not going to turn that one on either so King Henry is currently uncrowned as he doesn’t have
All of his historical territory under our control so we’re currently under the reign of King Henry we are playing an early campaign because unfortunately the lake camp campaign is not available but here is our territory Bristol Lincoln Normandy Norwich and York we also have anes as well an I can’t remember the
Friend name of it uh we need 40 regions including Paris and Jerusalem we currently control seven so I think firstly focusing on the United Kingdom we might potentially go for some northern France territory our relationship and standing with the Pope is quite low but if we can get an
Alliance with the Vatican at some point we might potentially be able to call a crusade now most of the diplomacy is neutral for example with us France the Holy Roman Empire the Recon Kista is going on Poland’s at war with Hungary but I think early on we’ll just quickly
Do a toggle foe because I want to show you guys the scope of the campaign map just to get your bearings and also I am learning a lot where these settlements are as well so this is the size of the map it is absolutely humongous chungus so there’s so much Rebel
Territory to take there’s all these new factions as well paa um what else is there there’s like the KE Rose I think even Novar rods in here so if I really enjoy this campaign and you guys enjoy it as well I can definitely see myself diving into more campaigns all right nice
Well let’s have a quick look at the family tree so we’re currently under the reign of King Henry for whatever reason his grandson is the prince he is next in line so we’re going to keep him in Normandy for now he’s 64 years of age so I don’t particularly want to be moving
Him too far around the campaign he’s currently uncrown also they’ve added so many traits and anderies but this is a realistic family tree which is quite nice we’ve got Jeffrey plantagenet here so this is the plantagenet line he’s 19 maybe historically he died I don’t know
Why Prince Henry was the king let me know 1100 ad nerds all right we’ve got Stefan diabolis who’s 36 he has two children as well and he seems to have vamir as a har harsh judge uh Robert of Normandy is currently 78 and most of the the William the
Conqueror’s line has died out so we will be able to choose um our next Air we there was a mod back in the day called the air Crown mod I don’t know if you guys can remember that but that was quite good there’s a similar feature in
This so we’re going to move our spies around here I think our first Target is to deal with the problem in whales and we want to try and keep an eye on the French as well I may be tempted to try and make an alliance with
Them cuz it’s going to take us so long to bring all of the island under our control if we can get all of England under our control Great Britain we’re going to be able to essentially move into Europe with impunity so we’re going to keep a lot of these guys as Regional
Governors and who we got here Robert of uh gester uh we’ got Robert of Normandy here as well was it mandyville uh so potentially if we get some daughters we might try and marry into those generals also I will be not adopting anyone in this series I want to try and
Roll play as best I can I don’t know why my cursor is a different color for whatever reason anyway we’re going to start making plans and preparation to mobilize everyone we’ll try and keep Generals in settlements cuz they can get some traits not everyone has to be a
Commander and conqueror like William so we want to try and allow some of them to be active commanders so I think getting all of our military forces going into Wales is the play I think Wales can be traditionally quite hard on even vanilla Medieval 2 Total War just due to those
Welsh long bowmen I believe they have some of the best Bowman at this stage in the campaign they have like some of the best then we’ll make plans and preparations to go into Scotland and Ireland now I I will need to try and hold a decent military presence here I’m just
Trying to think do I move this back to Normandy yeah I think I do cuz ANZ is so far south I think moving back up to Normandy Castle is the best play also look at the construction look at this roads in London is going to cost us just
Shy of 7,000 gold pieces Florence but it’s going to take 20 turns so you really have to be cool comeon collected and calculated in where you spend your valuable construction time and finances you also want to try and keep somewhere between 2 to 4,000k to spend on events as well so
It’s not going to be this early on that we’re going to be able to like afford and construct stuff once we start fighting Army once we start taking more territory and we expand England we’re going to be able to invest so we’re really going to have to
Be wary with our construction so I think focusing and getting buildings in London our Capital first is the play and sort of the external territories that potentially could could get attacked um like some of those regions like aners we probably uh shouldn’t build in so what
Do we got here maybe a church might be a smart I dear so Normandy isn’t our Capital it’s actually a minor City interesting so London is the capital I could move the king back to London he is a little bit susceptible there but we’re going to end the turn and continue and
Scotland Fergus Mack At Your Service okay that was more Irish uh trade rights in map information sure now a the AI doesn’t seem to be as backstabby if you get alliances with them which is good so I think getting trade and map information is the play I’m going to
Keep uh moves on as well I usually turn that off but because we’re playing on such a hard mod for the first time I I do want to see AI movements cuz Paris is so close oh no to Normandy and they have moved up military forces and assets to
The Border yikes are we about to start the 100 years War already I sure hope not so we’re going to try and move everyone to Normandy to defend it but that’s a decent Army there H they are mobilizing so quickly that’s kind of frightened me a bit because they
Could attack us I I don’t think I can afford a war with France just yet okay so we’ve got Philip of Richmond oh that’s a cool name 15 years of age a youngster as well and a decent portrait look you know what I don’t want to adopt
Anyone I want to role play and like have the I want it to mean something when our generals die I want them to be a part of the bloodline so here we go the rise of knights in Europe Warriors 1 AD enjoyed no heraldry status okay so this is make
Okay so this basically says Knights are really expensive and um you should be very very cautious and when you use them cuz they cost like nearly a th000 per turn and they’re they’re rare you don’t you’re not going to have a Doom stack of medieval knights that you can just replenish
Constantly um okay you’re playing on very hard campaign okay our mercenaries need pay oh no oh wow okay so unfortunately within turn two we’ve already bankrupt ourselves so basically we’ve not done my rule of thumb uh unfortunately Robert of Normandy has died as well that’s unfortunate oh no there’s no one in
London yikes okay so we’re going to need to have a general and then a unit in every settlement um should I move filibert to London London is probably our best city so we’ll try and move them down south okay so still slowly but surely mobilizing to go into
Wales where can I move my Cardinal as well most of the Catholicism is okay seems to be a lot less here in Wales so let’s move the caner oh hang on we found an army here a rebel Army okay so unfortunately we can’t get to canavan without dealing with that
Still got our spy on the border we’ll move in Jeffrey plantagenet essentially should be next in line to the throne but his son seems like he will inherit it we’re moving our Diplomat over to Paris also diplomats are very hard to come by as well we’ll
Make sure we keep our Fleet in the ports to protect from English Channel piracy so Henry 64 I think he’s going to be okay to make the voyage because of that bankruptcy we’re going to have to stop the construction of the church in Normandy and we’ll move Jeffrey uh
Actually you know what yeah I think the king probably shouldn’t move we’ll move you back to Lincoln okay is this a good enough Army to deal with them potenti my God 2,000 of Watchtower yikes that’s uh so much money okay so we got two half stacks Rob of
Gold chest I don’t know why I’m saying that so weird gold Chester so some Welsh Spearman a general’s bodyguard of 122 that’s quite a bit we do outnumber them two to one but he’s a pretty good General let’s have our first battle of the series as they are blocking our way
To Wales fight to the last gasp okay thanks Shakespeare so here is our army build some of the unit cards are all right axemen some of them are different so let’s move on up and let’s test out how the battles perform all right so this is a really good test um
They are sitting uphill and they have The High Ground in the forest now I don’t know exactly how fatigued we’re going to be going up here now I might try and test running cuz I don’t know if it’s like like normal Medieval 2 how it recovers
Quite quickly the tiess or will it just completely zap us all right as we slowly but surely make our way up here is some of the light axe militia we got some Norman sergeants there which look good and we’ve also got some Cavalry but they will have skirmisher Supremacy on us we matched
Them two for two but they have better high quality Welsh long bowman as we slowly but surely move on up to try and bring Wills into the fold will Robert be the first prince of Wales but uh I’m super excited for this mod I can’t believe I haven’t stumbled across it
Earlier I saw some posts about it in the total war Community I did actually look through my comments had people recommended it they actually recommended it years and years ago but I think it’s actually had some development and it’s been worked on the past 2 years so shout out to the SSP
Team all right we’re slowly but surely moving up just speeding things up it is 60% in our favor all right but yeah still dealing with my hand injury but I found that playing the older games is so much more manageable with one hand like I’m actually playing this with one hand now
Believe it or not I feel like some of the new Total walls are like super super micro heavy yeah I might need to make a video cuz I’m sure you guys are sick of me talking about it by now my God damn nerve pain issue I’ve been dealing with now for nearly 10
Months but hopefully I get it sorted out soon all righty so yeah no they’re very tired oh wow okay that’s not good C we’ll try and cycle charge oh they’ve actually got Stakes there no quickly divert yikes can we somehow hit the Welsh long bowmen oh bro they were brutally ripping through our
Armor all right let’s move back but I thought if I’m testing out a mod for the first time I’ve got to play England England the hre especially on vanilla uh some of the easier factions to play as it’s essentially the tutorial Island I kind of like it but they’re
Definitely strong but in saying that we might have to abandon our French territory while we secure the island cuz you never know how hot these Scottish Wars will go Okay so we’ve lost 6% before we’ve even moved up let’s try try and get my Cavalry around oh now my
Archers are getting hit so are they going to come straight down into me it seems like they are let’s give out some attack orders oh but my units are exhausted okay so now we’re learning about the fatigue system yeah it’s harsh in this my God those long bowmen are
Peppering me as well this actually might be a high casualty battle pushing uphill running Archer Supremacy now they’re running downhill against me but this is what it’s all about playing a new Total War mod you live and learn look I could loow the difficulty but that’s the point push through
Adversity so we’re still relatively if we continue like this andash the Norman Conquest I wonder if there’ll be any Viking invasions uh-oh I never really thought about that I’m talking about France and Scotland as existential threats for this New England but maybe we need to watch out for the Danes and the
Norwegians but yeah if you guys support this series and it does well and I enjoy it I can definitely see myself playing as the byzantines make Rome great again of course how often do you think about the Roman Empire I’m so happy that meme blew up I unironically at least think
About it once a day several times a week due to the nature of um just playing strategy games I do qu quite find it quite an funny observation that uh it’s just like it’s some I guess like it’s something you don’t really talk about with women it’s
Like so how often do you think about it like a oh I said that and I was just like really I’ve never heard you talk about it oh how often do you talk about the Roman Empire with your partner oh we’re getting peppered here now [Â __Â ] move back my cavalry’s just been absolutely
Minced okay so now they’re moving in their Heavies okay so pushing to Wales is definitely going to be easier said than done bring them under the fold for example the more losses we take in this the uh the longer it’s going to need us longer it’s going to be for us to bounce
Back okay now we’re pampering him from on the sides here yeah using archers is probably the play We also might need to Siege out settlements for multiple turns usually in medior you can kind of get away with rushing it early but we might need to actually slowly but surely envelop cut
Off and sieg a settlement like Wales now we haven’t gotten to the point yet but we will want to once we get all of the UK under our control divvy up settlements and castles a bit better you want castles on the front lines cuz you can get your
Troops there easier but cities are your money makers we also want to go around and get trade rights with a bunch of factions so wrap yourselves in for a long and glorious campaign witnessing the rise of England okay hitting them from the side there so it swung about 60% in our favor
I feel like it might have even got as low as 50 there Robert was getting a little bit pinged I feel like just looking at even some of these Rebels that their generals are better than ours okay let’s move here yeah so even this is a little bit
Unorthodox this fight we got Tree Line we’ve got heels it doesn’t seem to be as micro heavy once you lock units down but I can’t wait to see how this campaign plays out will France be enveloped by multiple Powers will Catholic Spain well I guess it’s casle and Leon
Probably and barcelon I haven’t I can’t remember there was multiple factions got Portugal will they win the Reconquista what’s going to happen in Italy will the Turks reclaim well claim istan constantinopoulos who knows also depending where we expanding conquer we might be able to take some other territory set up some trade posts
Okay dude our units are so so fatigued and exhausted yikes Cy but it’s good to be back in uh Total War Medieval s tier top tier G I should have come back earlier took a bit of a break thoroughly enjoying Starfield but played over 200 hours in that game and I’m
Done but hey Total War Is My Jam this is where it is he enemy General fallen so going to slowly but surely start working up working back creating uh a total war catalog again but uh I’m feeling a lot better 44% to their 74 nice our men are
Winning the battle but it’s also just like the physical and mechanical issue but it’s s just like constantly feeling like there’s pins and needles in your hand is just fatiguing like constantly having your pain recept is activated it’s annoying and uh the medication doesn’t help either
Though I slur my words half the time anyway it’s even worse some Miss B right I’m doing my best once we start building up some videos I might do a stream here or there but I don’t know I go back and forth on streaming cuz like it’s just so hard living in Australia
TimeWise the best time for me to stream is nocturnally for you Americans and Europeans but it just stuffs me out makes me feel terrible all right so let’s try and run down as many of them as we can build up Roberts Chevrons nice okay so it’s a clear vict but we did lose
521 probably due to my performance in that one we could have got that one down a little bit better but our first victory in 1132 a I do quite like the quotes as well oh nice what’s this we have looted the enemy camp okay great tinings my Lord
Our soldiers have looted the enemy camp additional income okay so we can allow the soldiers to plunder it or we can basically keep it for ourselves so there’s a strategy obviously you get fewer finances you get some more additional traits okay I wonder if you’ve got a young king that might be more
Viable because you might be able to farm traits as well that’s another thing we’re going to have to be really quite meticulous and who we marry our princes and uh generals off to uh man of the hour no we’re not going to accept that I’d rather marry them in but a good
Victory all right well let’s make plans and preparations to go into Wales also as we’ve got two full Stacks actively moving through winter we will be obviously spending about a th000 maybe 2,000 maybe even more a turn extra because they’re actively in the field also cuz it’s
Winter um things would be worse ah damn okay well it was worth trying to attempt to move the spy in to attack in one turn let’s move you there so maybe we need to work leveling up our spies before trying to infiltrate the Welsh populous and
Merchant is fine a diplomat is a little Fair few turns off from actually negotiating with France I think we should just try and get trade and map information first get some amicable Rel but I do have a plan with the French potentially all right welcome to the top
Of the turn another candidate for adoption we also have the diplomacy guide oh nice so this actually gives us so there’s actually a reputation system which is nice so the more aggressive you are the more backstabby the more Wars so that’s really really cool it makes it more sensible and realistic compared to
It’s s it makes it like um similar to Rome and maybe Dei okay impending debt uh-oh uh right that’s because we’ve had those military forces active throughout the winter as we push for Wales hopefully if we do go into a debt we might potentially be able
To get some from the settlement um army supply cost as well yes so there’s even like a army supply system similar to 1100 ad the mod for Rome 2 the supply system makes you pay for your armies staying in enemy lands traveling by boat or besieging take the rebel settlement
Of canavan oh perfect perfect 8,000 and there’s been a princess deis let’s get Robert in let’s build this Siege equipment so what can we build one ram and whatever the max amount of towers we can get a Siege Tower really I usually go with the ladders cuz
They can’t get burnt down and let’s move you in here so I think Robert is probably going to be our main active fighter and Stefan diabolis can probably take the r he’s going to learn from him I might even leave Robert in Wales to govern it that’s the reward if you conquer the
Settlement so Jeffrey plantagenet the King’s son is sitting in London and Prince Henry is still not of age so we’re going to go negotiate with the French and have a parlay with them soon as we Siege out Wales all right welcome to the tip top of the turn um Finances a plague can break out Pirates threaten you God reforms of the English military right I’ve read this before so I think this is just giving us tips advice Afflicted with pneumonia Robert of Gest oh no oh wow we got some truers here but the Portuguese are at war with the
Moors wait Portugal was at war with casti and Leon interesting that they did that that’s pretty sensible to make peace with the Spanish when they’re at war with the Moors anyway let’s negotiate with Paris let’s negotiate with Louie let’s try and get trade they’ve accepted okay so we are neutral with
Them now I do fear war with the French I would like to make an alliance with them obviously you might be thinking you’re crazy you can’t make an alliance with the French well I think I will because it’s probably going to take us 30 40
Turns before we can get all of the UK under our control so I’m going to offer them an alliance and we’ll give them a th000 oh that’s unfortunate they’re rejected now the best way to negotiate I know this for a fact in vanilla is to trade settlements now I can’t defend anes I
Simply can’t and leaving one unit there is probably inviting an attack so I would negotiate with France and say hey I will give you this territory for an alliance I’ll even pay 2,000 oh perfect and they’re going to accept because the way they were mustering on the border
There they’re not at war with anyone else I know it’s a core historic Norman territory at the moment we can’t defend that southern aquatan territory adequately we could have alternatively pushed everything into France but then we are threatened by major regional Powers I think it’s safe
For our security to get all of the United Kingdom under our control as we do have some pretty tough local Rebels like the Welsh and Irish Clans yes s okay so we are still sieging out Wales here and we’re going to play this one we’re out numbering them 2:
One now we have been sing for a little bit but hasn’t really chipped them down too much we have 2,500 Brave English boys to go against the Welsh let’s get stuck into them and many strokes through with a little axe he oh H down and fell the hardest on the
Timber thanks Shakespeare all right one battering ram for ladders let’s move these Norman sergeants up and we’ll get our archers to put in some Supremacy as well Skirmish of Supremacy doesn’t look too tricky of a Siege nothing too tactically difficult just going to be a little bit of a grind
So depending on how large the settlement is it actually might be a legitimate strategy to try and Siege and starve them out so we won the first initial battle against Wales their scouting field Army blocking the path and now we’ve got the proper Siege I would have liked to see if there
Was more settlements here but one’s fine I do quite like how massive the United Kingdom and um France now is but so far really adoring the campaign map loving the family tree the units are okay but the battle performance is pretty good but here we go the battle for
Wales and for the entirety of the United Kingdom is well and truly underway but even fighting against a rebel faction of Wales there’s a lot of unique units here they look cool and different and it’s actually quite challenging the Welsh are going to put an absolute fight on and they’re going to fight
To the last Welshman but here we go the ladders are slowly but surely going on up archers raining fire up and over the top we are using default ammunition I wonder if we’re better with like these hunters and stuff to use flammable rounds maybe in third age there was a
Legitimate strategy Sometimes using flammable arrows I tend to in medieval just use the default rounds because they have a better fire rate and the hit points like it’s sometimes better it’s it’s better to pin down a unit and fire multiple rounds into a unit to whittle down the hit points rather
Than the um AR fire cuz it has high damage there is like a minor morale debuff they get but they just missed so many I don’t know if it’s been tinkered within this mod let me know I have questions but so far I have noticed that
The um performance can be a little bit weird I feel like stainless steel when I played it was way more stable in our favor haven’t had any crash to desktops will be ours just yet cross my fingers but I feel like this one there’s a lot of
Issues and I don’t know why I think it’s just due to as you go bigger with models and castles and just the more you add the more it just makes it unstable that’s just the nature of things like I love Fire and Blood for vanilla are in wait
What but like fire blood for like um fantasy Medieval 2 but that that one is just so so unstable there’s also plenty of um fantasy mods as well we could play maybe we need to go back to Middle Earth Third age I don’t know after watching rings of power
Yuck kind of turned me off Lord of the Rings 72% but I’ve always been far more of a a son of I and fire enjoyer I’m sorry it’s just better controversial 90% ready to charge on in soon but so far we’re doing far far better in this particular
Siege compared to the field battle it’s probably because we’re being a little bit more meticulous about our unit tiess our archers are probably getting a better shot we’re slowly but surely surging on the walls and now we are just charging through that Gateway now they have moved around some of their heavy
Infantry that’s smart to block that but if we can just swing around it might just be enough but so far it’s going to take a handful of turns the entirety of the English army well in England mobilized to take just one settlement so it’s definitely been costly this Ward War however the English
Nobles and the counil have going to going to pitch in for the conquest now Normandy now that we’ve only got one settlement I think securing it is going to be so much easier if we can keep like a stack and a half there it should deter any aggression now would I do that
In vanilla medieval to no cuz the AI is just so so backstabby now I’m curious in this we’ve given them a piece of territory we’ve given them an alliance will they keep their word we’ll eventually go to war with the French we we’ll have the 100 Years War maybe in
100 years who knows but we’re just not simply strong enough just yet and even if we throw everyone in we still have to deal with the Scots and maybe the Danes and and then if we’re if we’re so if we somehow Pally like if we win a war in
Mainland France and it’s a pic Victory it’s a pic War we’re just going to get chopped down by either the Spanish or the Catholic Iberian factions flying over the Pyrenees we’ve also got the Italian states hell even the hre the Holy Roman Empire could be an issue I think
Securing Great Britain bring it fully under the control of our mon monarchy is to play the enemy are badly blooded okay lost half their men just holding me here maybe we try and surround them okay let’s make a play to the Town Square so we can initiate the countdown
Oh I no they’re starting to run oh it’s cuz we managed to snipe their General all right uh still pinning down those on the walls that’s all right if they fight in the Town Square they’re going to fight to the last man cuz they get what is it Lord we’ve lost control
Of the castle Immortal public order no wait immortal like morale yeah they’re not going to break all right we have initiated the countdown only three just Less Than 3 minutes remaining and then Victory happened before that only 400 men lost all right let’s end the turn and
Continue oh no you’ve got to be kidding me man Victory Is Ours all right well welcome back unfortunately we had a game Crash so we had to redo that battle uh we’re going to occupy the settlement I think sacking and Exterminating would make everyone qu unhappy okay
Resistance my Lord the locals oh wow okay so there’s going to be some Welsh resistance seriously hate oh wow it even spawned another Army oh my God that’s annoying that we had to redo that it’s a shame we had a game Crash all right so Robert can sit here we’ll
Try and replenish and repair uh I suppose we try and retrain as well we’ve got that 8,000 in the bank but let’s see how the Welsh react well let’s H maybe move our spy back to England because we well lost the one trying to invade into Wales
Let’s move you back here and let’s move you here I think having two ships near the shortest Crossing is probably the play we still got to deal with that Army um we could Sally out potentially but they might attack us so we’ll see all right someone from
Darham no thank you uh some remarks on Military matters okay grooming Governors young generals need to go to school oh as an education is one of the most for foremost Parts okay so it’s actually better to keep some of the youngsters and kill they until they come a bit more
Of age okay that’s kind of cool wow that’s really sensible and realistic actually all right let’s go into Germany though right doesn’t seem like they’re going to push and attack us so we might have to manually play this one going out so I think we’ll allow Stefan and we’ll leave
Rob it in there permanently so can that reach yes it can oh wow Thomas oh he’s a pretty decent Commander actually 10 to one Stefan deis will have his first real command man some of these Welsh Freedom Fighters as it were are quite strong to whom God Wills will Victory what okay so
Let’s rally up and we’ll make a push that’s good uh let’s let’s try and get some units to flank densely forested again unfortunately so already what we spent over an hour or so here today just trying to take whales we’ve had three well two decent battles this is probably going to be the
Third and Robert of G I can’t even say go gester I think it’s the G gester Maybe that’s my accent goester goester that’s the goester all right let’s move up yeah we’ll try and track some of the accomplishments so I guess we’ll sort of make Robert the regional Governor he can
Have Wales for now and Stefan deolis can essentially once we’ve finished subjugating the Welsh we’re going to make plans and preparations to go north of the Border we’ll rally back at York we might even replenish and repair and use some of that 8,000 gold pieces that we got from the council and
Uh some of the lands rad as it were the land owners to make plans in preparations for an invasion of Scotland which KY will be um easier said than done pushing up there against William Wallace and the boys the bruers all right let’s give out some attack orders here now and we’re
Fresh and eager to go so that should change things since well the last open field battle but once again I’ve got to remember their archers I did say that the Welsh archers and the long bowman are some of the best in the game it’s been brutal super high
Casualties but thankfully due to our numerical Supremacy look what we got five settlements two castles on Mainland England and One external territory in Normandy it was only going to go one way unless we Mega through but once Wales is fully under our control I think we’ll keep it as a
Castle for now but eventually in the grand scheme of things I probably want to make it a settlement just due to like Coastal settlements are just so much more valuable being cities just cuz of the ports obviously if it’s a front line City and you need to actively keep
Troops nearby or it’s a really good checkpoint it’s a bit more valuable but I don’t think the Irish are going to come over the Border like you actually might be better off making nor a castle than Wales we probably should make the entirety of iseland I probably want to
Make Scotland as well settlements cuz I don’t think we’re going to get attacked in the north I do kind of fear the Norwegian incursion I don’t think the Saxons are going to come back and get some Vengeance I’m sure the hre the Holy Roman Empire is probably sub though also
What view do you guys use I obviously for used to use the default medable to view but I use the minimal HUD now um I think it I do like it cuz you can see more of the battlefield you can zoom in and look at the units a little bit more
But you lose the ability just to see where like you press the faction icon button to see where all the uh enemy combatants are that’s annoying that they don’t have that what do you use minimal or default let me know in the comments like I feel like you don’t even need all
That stuff up the top there you could nearly fully do without I do tend to not use the key binds anyway oh wow this is going to be a glorious victory for us as Stefan diabolis potentially a future king or even Prince for us he going to win a
Glorious Victory I still lost 435 so we want to try and keep that down put an end to so great an evil William of terier Okay so we’ve looted the camp let’s accept and that is it Welsh is under whales is under our control we could get some mercenaries but we’re not
Going to worry about it but we have a whopping treasury now of 16,000 so we probably don’t want to grow that too much from what I can remember you you do get more corruption the more gold you hoard okay so let’s now make the slow and painstaking task
To get back to York and we’re nearly at a stage that we could probably justify another Army but nothing has changed family treewise let’s get the king uh is it his I think it’s his cousin or his nephew Stephan Deb I think it’s his cousin to go north um I think we’ll go
With Jeffrey plantagenet who is the king son um we’ll go with Prince Gregory to go north he can control the second Army oh here we go the Holy Roman Empire want to talk to me and they’re going to offer trade rights sure let’s try and get as much trade
With as many factions as you can uh I don’t really care about the map information I roughly know where anyone is and we can’t afford that anyway now let me know in the comments is this guy is this a rumor cuz I don’t know if this is true now I thought back
In the day if you got a bunch of trade rights with factions and then couldn’t actually trade with them you actually get worse relations with them if you couldn’t sort out a port is that true in vanilla or is that one of those old nuns tals I don’t know missing funds oh here
We go um a trusted subject brings you disturbing news someone has been slowly skimming off the coffers yeah taking a little bit of cream off the top as were so you don’t so it’s interesting that it’s like okay if buildings and stuff cost so so much you want to build up a
Large CH treasury nope you do need to spend it at some point uh send an emissary to the HR okay so we’re going to get 1500 and potentially some more units nice so we got the White Tower that’s only going to take six turns and that’s 10,000 done I
Think doing that gives us the training of Sergeants and that’s a historical building Henry the wise could build that in his reign as he is sitting in his old stomping grounds of Normandy governing from here as he’s sending his generals so yeah I suppose we uh probably make
Our way down to Italy cuz I do want to negotiate with the Pope getting an alliance with with the Vatican and the Papal States is essential we can get some really good relations I think we can even put up our standing with other Catholic factions and of course them we might even call
Crusades okay candidate for adoption Oliver savil 16 for the king well that’s a very unfortunate name let’s decline how to end an unwanted War if you want peace diom oh yes cuz you can sort of like force of stalemate if you continually sit in a defensive War uh
Instead of like if you if you want to make peace you sort of don’t do offensive actions um okay the council wants me to negotiate with the Republic of Venice we could probably do that on our way to meet the pope meet Mr poy tomorrow’s Journey planned out
Okay still moving the Army back to York and we’re going to push our spy North into Scotland to have a bit of a look at their military infrastructure okay so we can’t go that way because there’s a rebel Army what do they got okay so deden and what do they
Wield about a half a stack nothing too crazy some clansmen some archers okay it’s the Scottish Pikeman is probably what we do fear but at the moment I don’t even know command me S if we outnumber them with just this one Army I don’t think so anyway let’s move you
Into York we’ll try and retrain as many of them as we can we’re only seven turns in and o a leather Tanner oh yeah I think getting padded in leather is probably a good idea I think York is going to be like one of the castles that
I’m going to improve and using this game and we’ll move you back to Lincoln all right still retraining replenishing preparing the lads in York to go over Hadrian’s Wall and push into Scotland the King has approved the mission and we could maybe get some Knights but they just cost so much I’m
Going to continue to move my spy North Gathering crucial intelligence but by the look of it it seems like Scotland doesn’t have more than two settlements I thought in vanesse would be a castle but it seems like only those two and I guess Edinburgh isn’t really a city at this point anyway King
Henry is now 67 years of age filibert is in London we don’t have a governor in there uh Reginald of Cornwall Robert is sitting here and we probably could do some construction the White Tower is being built we’ve got a blacksmith there our finances are looking very nice and stable
All right let’s negotiate with the venetians uh all right Verona they occupy just trade will be fine we accept proposal they are at War interesting so the Republic of Venice and another 1500 and we get some more units I think we get more if we have our
Historic Capital who are you oh the Republic of p is a faction in this game nice and then we’ve got the pap SE here all right so two turns ahead now well we spent the last couple basically since turn seven logistically replenishing and repairing I think we might get some
Axmen as much as I like those like Knights they just cost too much we’re not at a point to justify their construction just yet look at this 1,500 and then it’s 500 a turn that’s crazy so we can get some but like not too many we might just simply not be able to
Afford it I want at least two full Stacks before we move into Scotland so we can focus on Great Britain now I don’t fear an attack from the um the French no martial law oh okay it’s cuz oh wait martial law was enacted oh wow you need to hold
All traces of the faction will disappear after 250 years oh my God that’s crazy so you really want to try and keep your Governors there so we’ve just quickly wrapped up a war against the Welsh which was a Harden Mighty War we had three good battles against them now we also managed
To make an alliance with the French but it did cost us a castle we are now currently negotiating with the Papal States try and get an alliance so we might have to give them a decent amount of money I think it’s smart to get an alliance with them if we ever get
Attacked I’m sure maybe more Catholic and factions in chendo might come with us now unfortunately we don’t have any territory to give them so I think we’ll offer an alliance military access we might have to give them heaps you know map information like fourth ,000 is that
Going to be enough damn really just just rejected okay so maybe we need to give them like a bit more we’ve got a pretty decent treasury um we’re okay MoneyWise but the thing is as well we might actually be able to like call a crusade so we can
Maybe even get that money back can just rejected again so they are like open to negotiating with us I would nearly say this Alliance is probably more important than the French one but this will rocket our standings with the pump so it is a legitimate strategy to
Try and get an alliance with the papal seat even on vanilla Medieval 2 jeez 9,000 that’s so much let’s see what they say hopefully we don’t have to go to 10,000 that would be ridiculous no we’re good accepted nice okay it has been a pleasure so maybe we get some better
Relations with other Catholic factions that’s going to be difficult if the HR declare war against them cuz they don’t tend to like the pope oh yeah right so we’re one point away from Max Faith oh maybe we should call a crusade okay so we got some options
Tunisia in the Baltic I kind of want to go somewhere that’s closer to me maybe there’s a Moroccan settlement cuz I would like to get some crusading Knights maybe some traits as well potentially all right look I’ve gone through some of the potential targets and we might halt that invasion
Of Scotland now I think the quickest settlement we’re going to get to is this one so we’re going to call it and it’s been accepted yep the pope has called a crusade against like what is this like Barcelona when it is Chom itself that is threat listen to the intro every
Christian’s Duty and give back children what is rightfully theirs it’s just the general Crusade one nice so I reckon we’re probably going to be able to get there first so let’s make plans and preparations now unfortunately cuz we spent all that money we’re not going to be able to get
Those Knights oh that would be so good um we’ve been given 3,000 so we might be able to afford like one or two units crusading sergeants 600 for 7,000 that’s still so much but it’s not as much as some of the other ones but that’s not too bad let’s get
One of them and let’s get good old Greg plantagen to head south now the only problem would be if the French or the Spanish get down there so let’s stop those units being recruited still half a stack in Normandy um let’s head south might need to deal with this small Rebel
Army uh we should be okay just order to resolve that one 200 nice we do have a nice crusading bonus and let’s head south let’s go to the port of Bristol I think or Southern Bristol all right so we are now heading to the Iberian Peninsula also if other factions join a
War against the Moors we might be able to once and for all throw them out of Iberia and bring the entirety of the I Ian Peninsula back under Christen doome control going to keep my spy still in the North in Scotland to keep a an eye on
Them we will have a war against Scotland at some point it’s a part of our main objectives but we’re still 40 settlements away along with our historical claim territory and aquatan but so far still got an alliance with the French haven’t had any concern from them we did have to give them a
Castle and we farted off an attack okay disaster natural one strikes leppo no we don’t want that Royal Crowns right okay send an emissary to Pisa I’m sure we can head up that way now I’m pretty sure that’s the Crusade uh crowd grows icon good we got a trade agreement with
Them can oh Venice France Holy Roman Empire Norway so many have joined oh nice oh wow look at that the kingdom of Jerusalem okay so now we’re in the summer winter is now ended so let’s move you here um is it actually quicker just to go by
Sea we are going to have to cross over territory which is unfortunate you know I didn’t want to the thing is as soon as we make the relation we kind of need to call it because you will start losing relations rapidly all right let’s move Stephan de
Balls to York we’re still making a decent amount of money per turn now we could invest in communal farming yeah so we kind of want to keep a buffer between 2 to 4K and start the 20 turn crop rotation in London let’s end the turn and continue so far what’s Scotland going to
Do here do they want an alliance or something no they’re simply just trying to bribe the settlement nothing seems to be happen during the end turn all right all right welcome to the top of the turn the paper ball announced hospitalized take up the sword nice it’s probably cu
The Crusade more candidates we could adopt no we want to try and keep it realistic okay negotiate with C oh nice the White Tower has been constructed still building up our military forces between York and Lincoln while the King’s son has been sent on a crus aing Mission let’s upgrade the
Blacksmith further in York as it’s going to be one of the crucial Recruitment and armor modification hubs for when we go north but whenever we want to go over to the European Mainland we’re going to be sending troops from there okay so I guess we land here in The Basque country now oh
We can make it there within like a turn but I think logistically there’s a lot of stuff in the way so we’re going to have to go super far south what was if I go here yes What’s blocking me oh there’s a Portuguese Army that’s annoying
Okay we are one turn away from reaching there uh send the turn to continue Scotland what no still trying to bribe me hilarious I’m surprised they haven’t negotiated for an alliance or threatened me or anything I guess we haven’t shown much aggression to them but once Wales has fallen to us I’m
Sure they know time is probably not on their side uh oh no the Crusaders have taken the settlement barer we do get some experience and some money we might even get the Crusader trait oh you’re joking who took it oh it’s blue so I think the French took it oh far around
Out but it’s Valencia technically oh well that’s a shame well that was a Oh and there’s a settlement here what Zaragoza well that was a waste of a couple turns but I I guess I don’t know might have got some good relations with the Pope okay so the crusading force is heading
Back after arriving like the late Lord Frey we’re going to build a Grain Exchange in Bristol and going to just take a while to get back we got stuck at zza um what are we doing down here all right we had a mission didn’t we the prussians okay new leader lacks
Authority oh yikes did we lose someone did is the King dead selecting an air do you wish to to choose the family member to be your next Heir if you accept zoom in uh okay so we can choose the next oh right so King hen so King Henry Stephan
Diabolis right so let’s make Jeffrey plantagen at the next Air I don’t know why he’s not the prince but um unfortunately King Henry is dead he must have been 70 or so now so unfortunately 15 turns in we’re under a Regency Jeffrey plantagenet is now the essentially ruling um head of
State he’s the hand of the king to his son Henry and Stefan diabolis is now the prince okay interesting yeah King Henry the wise is now dead oh that’s so disappointing so we might have to be a little bit wary of a potential Civil War as we now
Have a boy King we also have a split Royal line so I will try and role play it as best I can with male preference primogenitor we might switch to a female but at the moment Henry and then yeah stepan deolis is technically third in line through the Mayo line which is now
Broken a bit all right we’re in baring now let’s trade with the Sicilians as unfortunately we want we went on a glorious holy failed Crusade and we a little bit of money there nice and perfect the pope has noticed your dedication to the faith and the holy mother of the
Church and is pleased to Grant you this gift nice 2,000 gold CU they had really good relations with the Pope and cuz we called that Crusade and a war is been declared we also might have just like overextended France a bit as well uh we could potentially hit some of that
French territory coming back from Crusade but I think we’ll just make a be line straight to York uh we’re still funneling forces there oh we haven’t got anyone in Normandy H now that the king is dead we’re going to need someone potentially here just to defend it as it’s an external
Territory a council has been called it’s going to cost 3,000 Florence your priest and monks want to make the effort to attend oh right so it’s been called in Rome there’s a religious Council so they want me to send priests uh sure let’s do that and Baldwin diabolis has come of
Age he’s now 14 technically fourth or third in line if you count Gregory okay KN fighter he looks good so he could be a potential General we can have oh nice that Grain Exchange is now done in Bristol uh Gregory plantagen is coming back 18 turns now in Mr plan t will be
Landing in Cornwall soon coming back from his supporting Crusade let’s move to York with the full stack I did think we got some Chevrons though I don’t think we had those before um I could move you to London perhaps oh maybe I move filibert to Nory no that’s
The play there we go and he can now sit there he’s 58 so Baldwin can sit in London for now let’s in the turn to continue but as you can sort of tell by the um the slow methodical nature of the campaign it’s kind of fun I I quite like
The nice slow pace it kind of reminds me of di all right support the Crusades by choosing to Aid the kingdom of Jerusalem 5,000 Florence will be withdrawn to directly help those fighting in the Holy Land The Orphanage is being complete in London and a truce has been declared there oh
And we’ve got another daughter okay so yeah I think we’ll still go with male preference primogenitor or do we cuz England was always quite open about the female line so what should we do should we try and focus on that I don’t know we got a War of the Roses situation
Coming should we invite the Saxons uhoh uh these are migrants willing to come to your country should we give them funds to prompt them to settle down 4,000 oh no the Saxons are back for round two electric Baloo okay um I do quite like these tips advice that pop up uh the
Byzantine and making peace the Saxons so the Saxons will be units available to recruit yeah whatever that’s fine that’s realistic and sensible I think okay so now my Diplomat has moved through the Italian Peninsula he’s done a bit of central Germany let’s now move through the Iberian Peninsula and make
Some trade tomorrow’s Journey plan maybe oh actually you know what I should get trade I should make peace with the Moos I don’t think we need trade but we’ll see all right so Gregory’s now here he can go north and Baldwin can go here let’s make the best
Army I think we’ll give Gregory the command hasn’t had any active military conflict but and he like minorly helped out in oh wait no he didn’t actually no no no he was not present in the conquest of Wales it was Stephan diabolis and um gester Robert that was his name
He’s now sitting in Wales governing so Prince Stefan and Regent is the best way to describe him Gregory is now moving North against Scotland where to S okay so 22 turns in we are ready to go and initiate operation down with dun Eden okay so thankfully for
Me there seems to be a split here so if I move you where here and then I attack with the Regent nice okay so it’s going to drag that out so we are outnumbering outnumbering them two to one but there’s a lot of generals here which can complicate things but here we go
Jeffrey was I saying je Gregory I think it was Jeffrey yeah Jeffrey Jeffrey plantagen lead ources into battle he now about to have a war against the Scots I felt like I saw a full stack at one point maybe there’s more of them lurking in the locks lurking in the highlands and the
Lowlands all right here we go so these guys got some nice Chevrons let’s get get all of our infantry to March up we also will have Skirmish of Supremacy but the Scots will not go down easily so so far what 22 turns one settlement taken KY we’ve gone through two monarchs and
Now we’re under the reign of the boy King Henry yeah I like this mod I like it a lot you guys showed a lot of support on the first episode I really appreciate it I can definitely see myself doing more so let’s keep it up all righty let’s move our archers forward
We’ve got a bunch of them just cuz they’re so cheap got what nine Skirmish units Norman sergeants little bit of units to be more movable the axes okay let’s bring them down thankfully the settlements in the North aren’t too massive but we’ll see how we go hopefully not like long protracted
Sages okay so now that we have Skirmish the supremacy on them are they going to close the distance cuz we should just be able to sit back and pepper them all right got to watch out for this this is coming from the Garrison itself we’ve got a general’s body card coming flying
In an arch unit so what I’ll do we are going to weaken our right flank they are coming in red hot okay I didn’t realize how quickly they were just going to flood let’s give out some attack orders oh they’re really going for my archers here hang on swing around
Nice okay so we’ve cuz we’ve moved like that dude they absolutely pounced on us so quickly all right I just get my archers to draw their short swords swords they can stop firing just to pin them down all right restructure that our archers are still firing man thankfully this arm is on the
Outskirts I don’t know what they were doing moving back and forth oh you know what there might be a land bridge maybe between Scotland in Northern Ireland they might be a to push into Ireland I think there’s two settlements over there I could be wrong but fighting
Is now breaking out and this is our first real test because we are now facing a faction we’ve only been fighting and learning against Rebels how will this English regime ultimately do unfortunately we’ve got units wavering but we are still peppering the Scottish combatants we are going to want to try
And wrap up this war as quick as we can as we don’t want the papal SE to call for a ceasefire four units now oh my God my infantry are getting absolutely decimated that’s a bit better that’s a venomous volley oh my God bear with me
Guys this is uh getting a little a bit unorthodox oh my God cuz we got all my infantry just shattering I think it’s cuz they got hit from multiple sides potentially okay we’re still favored to win this one but this is turning very very chaotic 38% all right our archers are
Carrying us okay definitely going to be the bread and butter of this series Al although like it’s worth having a couple DC units some of the cheaper units that don’t take too long to recruit like these armor uh these archers is what we should really get it’s just their General units cuz they
Got so many of them we’ve only got our one they’re the ones that are doing the most damage and they’re impacting us just need to hold on for that little bit longer men oh my God my infantry has just been absolutely merked by the Scots I think it’s their um heavy
Infantry like they probably got infantry Supremacy on us while we have the Bowman they are cycle charging so well man the AI is brutal they are so so Savage in this mody lies dead we’ve sent the base KY all right that should work okay now they’re regaining a bit oh
Hang on Mr plantagenet is getting caught we don’t want the king’s cousins to rise up against him all right oh oh hope that’s okay no we’re good we good we’re good we’re good all right let’s try and run down as many of them as we can
Because we want to try and March into denen as quickly as possible but unfortunately we’ve lost a lot of infantry in this and if they do bring more units up or hell even spawn more we might have an issue but so far our first incursion against the
Scots is okay I think we might have lost a little bit more casualties than what I would like but look it might take some time it might take some turns but we will have Supremacy over them economically oh wow they actually took us out jeez that was that was a very average Victory
KY all right uh oh yeah we want to ransom for the money and we do want to be shiverers cuz yeah executing will give us really bad relations they will accept which is annoying um do I yeah sure whatever we do want to try and build up
Actually no no it doesn’t matter because the um King Henry’s a kid so we can’t even use the traits anyway oh plantagen is severely wounded really you can easily die in battle you should let him take his rest in a city or a castle oh he’s on campaign we might have to risk
It okay so Jeffrey let’s Siege I think we’ve got a sply here so okay so no generals made it back me Lord let’s build up some your will sir units will sir to war then sir andare to let’s get this second Army some support yes so the French took Valencia that’s fascinating
That none of the Catholic Spanish factions tomorrow’s Journey planed outside fair enough where to uh let’s move this SP North okay I can’t seem to see anyone all right let’s end the turn and continue all right welcome to the top of the turn still sieging out deden that Siege equipment is now been
Constructed and let’s deal with the Scots now we could actually get some mercenaries potentially at some point maybe after this fight so we do outnumber them quite a bit we will order to resolve this one nice clear Victory that’s ransom they rejected and now the Scottish Capital will fall to the
English now it’s a wooden Castle which will be good for now but we eventually probably want to make it a city we don’t the thing is we’re not going to be able to if we are going to go on campaign send all those forces so far down from the north anyway so
Let’s merge on up and let’s try and move some of those military forces in let’s move the Spy up there okay I can’t seem to see anyone though okay yes um can we afford those mercenaries maybe maybe we control a merge actually and that will allow us to
Get these units into the castle is this going to take so long uh we might need to sit here and bite our time a bit and get ready before we push towards that last settlement unfortunately you’re going to be in the field for a little bit longer Stephan diabolis which
Is annoying but war with Scotland so if You’ like the sound of that feel free to leave the video like and subscribe if you’re new I’d really much appreciate it all right we’re 24 turns into the series we’ve managed to take Wales and now we are moving North we managed to take dun
Eden in the last episode where the Gregory PL tagin it and Stefan diabolis now unfortunately Fergus and the Scottish Clans have United in March South after we destroyed their army their faction leader and Heir we managed to take their capital they still have one settlement
In the north but in s ship when you take capitals of factions armies spawn so we’re going to have to deal with them here today and defend our newly conquered territory so we are a little bit exhausted fatigued here today and then we’re going to be one step closer to annihilating Scotland and
Bringing Scotland and Wales into the fold then we’ll make plans and preparations to go over to Wales so hope you like the sound of that but I’m having an absolute blast on this mod as we set up this Siege now we do have reinforcements coming in there
Could be a strategy here now if you are getting sieged in Medieval 2 and you need to offensively push out sometimes you can bait the Army to attack you even though you’re under siege and you can use the walls and arrow Towers to your advantage it works a lot on the easier
Difficulties particularly with Cavalry you can bait them towards the walls but we’ll see if they um take the bait okay so even moving who essentially should be the the king Gregory plantagenet archers up on the walls now our reinforcements are going to be deploying on The High Ground up
Here so we’re going to have to watch out for them okay they actually might be rotating but yeah let me know in the comments feedback and suggestions for this series where you like me to expand and Conquer we’ve got a firm alliance with the French at the moment I’m
Trusting them which is good they’re not backstabbing me that’s good there’s like realistic historical and sensible alliances that you can get in this mod we had to give anre up but it was worth it we also have an alliance with the paper SE so it doesn’t look like they’re going to
Attack okay so unfortunately our archers here are being a little bit bottleneck on the way out let’s go with something like this that’s a bit better and we might be able to take some pot shots so so far testing on very hard very hard the unit quality of England
Our archers are our bread and butter they are so so good particularly coming up against the Welsh and Scots from what I found is like although they are Rebel kingdoms because of their so strong individual unique units actually quite tough they out beat us on the Infantry which is
Surprising even The Archers for the Welsh there’s even some crossbows for the Scots and the Pikes so it’s a pretty good counterbalance we just have numerical Supremacy on them and we have the production like we have the entirety of England under our control that we can focus and funnel up there I’m quite
Lucky that we haven’t been drawn into a full-blown European Land wall just yet just going to do the simpy fold here where you make a front line and put two to three units folding in to protect the flanks and what we’ll do with our archers is maybe push them up and over
The front line we’ll see okay so for whatever reason they have just completely abandoned their Siege equipment would you believe it all right let’s start taking some pot shots at them all right we’ll try and hit those look at this like a very heavy Clansman but here is the Scottish unit roster now
This Army is probably going to be a better quality Army build than what we’ve been facing already against the Scots just cuz it’s been spawned in they’re going to try and give them one last Fighting Chance now I hope the pap seed doesn’t get involved we do have an
Alliance with them in really good relations but you never know they might ask us to essentially ceased hostilities now we do have to be a little bit careful here cuz time is not on our side so we’ll just continue to try and Skirmish them as best we
Can I could go oh that Cavalry is moving up just got to be careful when I’ve got it on six times speed now we are just wiping out full amount of individual units it seems to be working if we can get rid of all those clansmen that would be so so
Good I do quite like that as you can see there all the arrows have been firmly indented on the battlefield that’s a feature in stainless steel but it’s good to be back in medieval too I feel like I can um I feel like the older Total War I can actually play with
One hand properly I’m actually not using a keyboard to play at the moment just a mouse which is so so much better for my hand oh hang on now we run out of ammunition there yikes oh hang on hang on I’m surprised they haven’t closed the
Distance on us to be honest oh here they go now charging in Cavalry our Saxon and Norman Spearman should be able to hold against them now we did lose a lot of casualties in the last battle just cuz they had so many generals thankfully this time
They’ve only got the one now we have set our reinforcements to come in under my control I could have got them to come in as reinforcements but it’s fine now we are playing with Gregory plantagenet Stefan diabolis is coming into reinforcements obviously eventually becoming King of England so hopefully we don’t have too
Many Civil Wars coming up either cuz the family tree is quite split but hey history of England with civil wars and usurpers and whatnot and uh obviously funnily enough Jeffrey plantag it eventually became king but for some reason I think it’s I think it’s gone to his son
Henry oh hang on so they seem to be like for some reason moving one unit up at a time I think they’re trying to calculate the force behind them which is technically on the battlefield but it’s not in this is a bizarre battle so we are fighting with the King’s father
And potentially the next king in Stefan diabolis all right here they go now they’re charging I think it’s cuz it’s probably trying to simulate the Civil War and um like for example like I guess if you make Henry the air I think you maybe it works better family treewise from a
Historical set I’m sure there’s an argument cuz you start off the game playing as King Henry and Stephan di ballis is is the prince once the first King Henry dies cuz he’s quite old at the start of the game the Gregory’s son becomes king so I guess it pings back
Potentially unless I stuffed up I’m pretty sure I selected the um the air thing properly I do wish there was a an ancillary that you could just give called the air Crown mod like you can’t that was such a good mod back in the day I wonder if anyone still has
That that you can’t directly choose who’s the next air but you can choose the successor with the air Crown I think that’s quite good but family tree wise now that we’re talking about it so much we’re not going to adopt anyone the only way we can get some of those starting
Generals in is to marry them in which I think is quite nice they can have a blood tie I want to try and play it like Crusader Kings as much as I can it would be very very rare to get an adoption unless I don’t know it’s a Chad General
I I’m not the biggest fan of adopting generals in the Medieval Era Roma can kind of get around it because they didn’t have they weren’t so like hellbent on Direct succession help Octavian was Caesar’s nephew after all okay so we’re starting to flank around here now with those units we put
On the flanks they’re swinging around from their simpy fold position we’re starting to cycle charge there well but unfortunately some of our individual units have been caught when facing really proper decent Scottish heavy infantry let’s try and scramble here as well but I never said it was going to be
Easy conquering Scotland I really quite like how slow and methodical you have to be with this mod like this is absolutely going to Halt us from completely wiping Scotland off the map I like it I like it a lot it reminds me of Dei like you got to be super methodical
About your units you got to be super careful who and where you recruit and we’re facing a minor faction and we’re struggling also Scotland is so far away our supply lines are quite stretched so I can’t wait to see once we’re in a a full scale war with we’re
Going to have to go to war with France at some point the potentially the HR um depending who sort of pushes over the Pyrenees whether it be the Moos hopefully we’ve pushed them back though now with that Crusade our first crusade in the last episode all right good I
Think they’re broken here now um Stephan diabolis is now in here the prince in the sort of split Cadet Branch I don’t know too much about William the conqueror’s sons it wasn’t my well medieval history pretty much from 1066 Early Middle Ages to late wasn’t really sort of my area of expertise at
Uni I sort of just skipped all over that b if we continue like this we will I and studied more about Roman Antiquity Greece and Rome and then skipping like all the way to late 1800s the enemy I think it sort of just depends on the teachers you get one of my main
Lectures was like super super into the Napoleon era and Napoleon Wars and stuff which was kind of cool something I didn’t know too much about either but down a fair bit of working that and then obviously just the world war one and two the world wars how could you Not did a little bit of Cold War stuff I don’t know what to do with all my essays I’ve got so many of them it’s like it’s just a bunch of content that I’ve got sitting on a hard dve all of Chom will be all pieces of
Wrote and stuff for the University I don’t know if I should make them into videos or something I don’t know I just tend to talk about them briefly throughout series and stuff but anyway getting sidetracked really good battle against the Scots ooh 7,000 for a ransom we’ll accept that oh they accept
It what Glory that’s so much money oh wow okay and a fair few have fled let’s quickly do a save we don’t have a game Crash KY all right so let’s sort of take a breather so we do want to try and go for their last settlement with we’ve got a
Whopping 7,000 in the bank but we did manage to let a couple hundred go the thing is you’ve got to be really careful about your reputation in this mod usually I would sack settlements for the additional money cuz population was so easy to farm in vanilla but you don’t
Want your reputation to sour now after that fight we will need some additional reinforcements just to push into that final settlement um we want to try and run them down but we don’t want to overextend ourselves as well Reginal of Cornwall for example I want to try and
Get him married into our family tree along with deand DeVille I think it’s mandaville I think yeah I think it’s de mandaville spies heading down to Morocco yes CU we want to try and get a ceasefire with the Moos journey I have no ambition of being at war with them I
Don’t think they’re going to send a moish Armada North we’ve still got our one piece of territory in Normandy where we’re holding such a strong military presence uh some of you guys were a little bit upset that I managed to give Castle anges back to the French but I
Think for an alliance it was more than definitely worth it the thing is having one unit there essentially a stack split between two I think it was putting the Normandy provinces at a massive disadvantage and very susceptible to any attack not just from the French right once again we’re still not going to
Adopt anyone which will hinder us because we’re not going to be able to put a bunch of generals into settlements and farm okay here we go so we got Eustace diabolis he has now come in he is Stefan’s one of Stephen Sons so looks like the Scots have moved
An army here let’s move you here do I okay we’re just trying to retrain at the moment cuz we’ve only got well we’ve got a full stack units wise but it is not healthy whatsoever so he’s quite young do I try and move him to link we shall continue can probably
Govern from a settlement at some point all right where where are we oh yeah back down in Spain let’s negotiate with the Moors let’s negotiate with the moops so I would like some compensation there with so many factions like is 3,000 a lot for ceasefire okay well that’s a pretty far
Difference I guess we’ll just accept I want peace to be fair nice that’s done okay so welcome to the top of the turn just made peace with the Moors now we need to push for this last Scottish settlement so we’re going to try and move our spy
In it does look like some of the forces actually moved back into the castle interesting okay well let’s mobilize North your will we shall and because we’ve moved our spy in nice we’re not going to need to build Siege equipment perfect after leveling up early in the Scottish campaign all right let’s fight
This one ooh okay we do have number them two to one but we’re going to give Future King Gregory well he might not actually the king I don’t know we’ll see cuz his son has kind of taken the title from him The Unofficial usurper all right nothing too complicated here our
Infantry does look a little bit fragile but thankfully our archers have opened the gates so tactically these sieges have not been too difficult just need to try and push and storm on in now I don’t know if there’s another settlement I was saying it’s Scotland last last
Settlement it could might not be is inesse you’d think iness would be a castle what would annoy me is if um the Norwegians had it or something so they might have more or or potentially they could even have Islands so we are going to rid them on like the core Scottish territory okay
So Moving On Up Now infantry still quite battered but man I do love how costly military campaigns are we are essentially going to be down to a half a stack full fighting force in this series so we are going to be quite susceptible to attack so I think the plan
Is still focusing on Scotland then we’ll go to Ireland and then we might look to expanding into Normandy and northern France we’ll say there does seem to be quite a decent amount of Rebel territory at the start at least even in vanilla medieval 2o that territory around the Amsterdam the Netherland Belgium region
Just depends who’s moved on in there I don’t think there are any city states there but we’re still working towards our main Victory conditions of bringing the entirety of the United Kingdom under our control and then taking our historic territory in aquatan and then I don’t know what’s
Going to happen do we push into Iberia make an alliance with the Portuguese that would be quite sensible realistic and well very historically realistic as the English and Portuguese Alliance is one of the very longest alliances even to this day Anglo lucani relations hilarious all right so our boys are slowly but
Surely flooding on into this Scottish Castle but man oh man this is going to be absolutely brutal hasn’t been tactically too hard but just like jeez the amount of soldiers we’ve lost is crazy I’ve been noting my casualties in these battles they have basically 3/4x compared to
Vanilla medieval so you got to be super super careful we haven’t had any like huge catastrophic defeats we’ve had a couple close narrow calls but yikes this is only against essentially Rebel towns which are quite good I’m sure there’s probably weaker Rebel towns probably in Eastern Europe maybe in the uh the
Far east as well I love to see how the other factions are doing how the Romans how the Italian states are doing we could also maybe if we get to a point send off some expeditionary forces you know what would be kind of cool so obviously got the kingdom of
Jerusalem imagine if we were to form our own sort of principality of Antioch or something send someone down there maybe to Cyprus and help out in the Holy Land set up a base of operations in and around the Levant potentially who knows maybe once our family tree grows
Quite a bit cuz we’re still trying to grow it I want to at least get one family member in every single Province at some point okay this um said before high casualties my infantry is just crushed y CU I got to switch on here the enemy damn Scots making me fight to the
Absolute Bitter End my archers actually drawing their short swords have been quite effective we might need to move in Gregory plantagen in a moment just to cycle charge I’ve been a little bit hesitant to do so I don’t know if it is like my cavalry or just add Norman knights with
Our generals but for whatever reason I feel like the numerical number of our mounted horse Knights is just so low like sometimes it can be in like the high 50s and 60s I swear cuz Cavalry I’m not going to lie generals and Cavalry in vanilla Medieval 2 is such a crutch for
Me I love creating those good old horse sandwiches the Cavalry is just so so expensive that’s probably why our arm is taking such a battering cuz we are fighting with basic s probably uh what d f tier units just your bear sergeants your occasional boiled leather Soldier we’re not fighting with proper proper
Professional soldiers they just cost so much we do not have the uh economy to fuel it genius us but uh Navy wise we haven’t really spoken about it I haven’t noticed that much piracy or anything I’ve been quite sensible about moving my ships into docks and trying to protect them from
There we’ve been able to move units over we might lose this actually a [Â __Â ] yikes boys this might be a throw actually oh God damn it it’s cuz of their Pikes yeah you know what I think it might get to a point we’re going to have to tactically withdraw hang
On oh we were so so close it’s like two units man man yeah this is probably going to be our first defeat or will it be if I withdraw 23 I could try and cycle charge I think there’s just too many like go to this High Ground here and just try and cycle
Charge we are risking Gregory plantagenet one of the Kings but I don’t know man I feel like you have an attachment to generals but you kind of got to use them as well if we get someh s their General we might be able to swing
It oh no no no no no no okay right it’s going down to seven right disengage Retreat f for your lives yeah okay right we got it to four right you know what you got to know when to hold them and you got to know when to fold them all right let’s
Go Gregory unfortunately he’s going to take take a l on this one Gregory with a classic l a classic plantag l oh no oh no rare simpy l oh that’s um disappointing all right well we’ll reenter we’ll recalibrate and we’ll be back for you next time Scott mark my words it’s going
To be a pic victory for them they can have it a crushing defeat we did out number them two to one there’s only 170 left yikes that’s unfortunate oh well you live and learn I just think that army that spawned man just absolutely put the put us through
The ringer also the first encounter with the Scots they had three generals man oh executed them those scumbags wow oh just bump my mic there okay uh what are we doing I think we just can we oh could I do it with this an order well maybe hang
On they wish they’d never cuz the Spy is still there I don’t want him to get kicked out I no I’m going to manually play this one the order resolve as well is like super super harsh I don’t of order resolved any battles like they all need
To be manually played I think that’s deliberate or maybe it’s actually realistically showing medieval 2’s battles all right let’s jump back in Let’s uh F this one and hopefully we can just get up over the line now we do have some Crusaders here 46 the guy is coming
From The Crusade the pope cold in Morocco Lal we’ve also got some Celtic axman here to help out some archers and then Stephan diabolis 32 the prince is going to help on out as Gregory plantagenet and Stefan diabolis the two heads of their essentially respected family lines are going to be
The successful conquerors of Scotland as what’s his face of gold was it Robert of gester is now the Prince of Wales he got that little fif him and F him for his own our so it looks a lot better on the campaign map it’s battle map it’s swung
A bit compared to the campaign all right just need to get over theine man we had like three battles here today yeah these sieges aren’t too tactically difficult they’re just a bit of a grind you do have to pick and shoot choose where you commit forces and get some angles and
Stuff but hopefully here today this is the last we’ll see of the Scots on our Island and then we’ve got no factions to threaten us Lord our mening Command of the cast oh we can initiate the countdown oh there’s a unit there Lord we’ve L control we charge it might be
Okay the enemy King lies dead slain War we got their General oh God it did I did Panic a little bit hopefully that should change the tide just have to be a little bit cautious and careful here fighting units in that town square cuz they will fight
To the end us oh my God speaking of the end are we going to win this hang on hang hang out we need to get our archers in all my infantry is crushed again man oh come on if if I don’t win this I’m going to lose my
Mind our men are I’m going to go nuclear if we continue like this we will smash the enemy okay so I guess we try and pin down these pikemen and get them to turn why are they facing other way yeah there we go turn turn turn then swing the Cavalry in
That’s what we want go with a rally six remaining in the General’s bodyguard against Pikes it’s not the best but we just need to get rid of them come on it could have been oh my God we won dude ladies and gentlemen that was so so brutal strike up the drum and March
Courageously men Christopher Marlo that’s a cool quote and we’ve won oh my God is the fate of all who we marched up there with a stack and a half and now we’re left with absolutely nothing a province capital is being renamed okay cool and that’s it Alba has been destroyed okay so they
There isn’t another Scottish Castle I thought there might have been in the north I mentioned in vaness and they didn’t like move over to Island we’re going to be in a time of Peace construction and replenishment at the moment we’ve managed to defeat the Scots
In the last episode and in Wales as well we dealt with the Welsh so I do want to try and make some plans and preparations here today to take Ireland but now we’re going to invest we’re in a time of Peace unless anything crazy happens with a foreign power potentially invading but
Uh we’ll see how we go okay so we can get trade rights with the Danes here ingred the affectionate okay she looks nice um negotiating with filibert uh the mandaville who is currently in Normandy okay oh we got some civil disorder yikes up in Scotland okay so it’s cuz we are so so
Weak soldiers wise we marched up there with a stack in the half we smashed two Scottish castles and what probably three stacks I would say in the end and now we need to try and subjugate convert and control now it’s going to take a little while before we
Can properly have this territory fully under our domain I do think like you get bonuses every 50 or 100 turns so I think abedine is probably going to be the main issue and then denan we also want to try and convert some of these towns to castles and settlements because we
Probably don’t need the we don’t need the we don’t need deden and abedine as castles we can probably afford to making them settlements just to get some more additional money I’m going to keep York I could maybe make Lincoln a castle I’m actually nearly tempted to make Norwich
A castle and then make uh Wales a settlement because if we are going to get attacked now from like an Eastern power it’s probably going to be either the Norwegians coming into um East Anglia again or potentially um the hre so 26 turns here now like I said we’re slowly but surely investing
Building back up we also want to try and get a a stack in a bit and we’ll try and launch from whal so I’m going to go with my plan we’re going to convert some of the settlements or castles to settlements we’ll do that with Bristol
As well and I think what I’ll do is I will make Norwich a Castle obviously Coastal settlements will give you the most amount of money in the game because of trade and you kind of want to have a a fine Lan between castles on the front lines as
Well so I think we’ll make the Core Construction and we’ll put black blacksmiths and we’ll get our best units from this Hub of London Lincoln York and Norwich now we do have uh Prince Baldwin diabolis here the Prince’s son firstborn so he’s going to go North to help with the Scottish
Resistance all right Baldwin’s about to head north outout of winter now 27 turns in we’re going to move to just try and help out our conquests in Scotland move our spy over there we eventually move our Navy as well we got our priest to move on over but uh not too much is
Happening in 1145 ad okay Baldwin is nearly here at the top of the turn so he can go into denen and abdine just to free up those generals hanging out here and we’ll move those other ones North as well we want to move Jeffrey plantagenet and Stefan
South okay back down in the South we’re currently in Portugal so let’s try and get a trade agreement with them we could realistically get an alliance but I don’t particularly want to get drawn into War I just made peace with the Moos and yeah I don’t particularly want
To go with the kingdom of Castile Leon or Aragon potentially oh King Henry has finally come of age nice we are finally out of our Regency so this is Gregory plantagenet King Henry was the King after Stephan de balls but in this timeline he’s managed to jump over so he
Can go down to London uh he can permanently sit there so here is the family tree your majesty um I don’t think there’s really anyone else to negotiate with in Iberia let’s maybe move to Italy and we’ll get our other Diplomat to go through the Germanic territory all the way to Eastern Europe
And Poland we don’t need to go negotiate with the D I cannot do that okay so it looks like we got some really good relations here now public water W public order wise in Scotland and then we can probably divvy up some of these units to head south we’
Got a lot of generals there so let’s make Henry take the long slow arduous March South and we’ll move his cousin Eustace out of London okay so we can marry off King Henry to Maria H we do have to pay a dowy in this game um it’s usually about
A thousand or so I’m nearly tempted to accept this but the thing is we could try and find a princess for him but then we might get a claim on foreign territory they might get a claim on us oh the pope died oh wow um oh I couldn’t well we don’t have a
Candidate that’s a shame we can vote for Denmark France more Holy Roman Empire I think we’ll go with France we’ll vote with that Ally oh they won anyway but yeah you can obviously ask the other Cardinals to vote for you if you pay them off which is quite funny oh no
Robert of gester has died the prin the first prince of Wales so his title is now up for grabs King Henry is 14 he does have a sister and a brother Edmund plantagenet and Stefan diabolis is still currently the prince yeah why did it skip Gregory I don’t know why
Strange okay so we could maybe send Eustace with this Army we’ve recruited some units in and around the Lincoln Norwich London and York territory he can make his way west to Wales with a half a stack and I think Stephan diabolis and his father or his Gregory are going to
Start heading south um I might even keep Prince Stefan here cuz he’s quite old um oh a suitable Prince Randolph of Worchester um the affectionate oh 14 okay oh maybe um one of the young princess has come of age oh wow look at her she’s fantastic nine
Charm Henry is getting some traits now sitting in London very nice yeah especially the youngsters when you get them you should try and let them govern a province and learn as much as they can let’s try and get a trade agreement with the polls mobilizing an offensive into
Ireland now so Gregory and Baldwin have arrived in wheels and his brother Eustace is now on the way as well okay so some of those towns oh castles have now been turned into towns cuz there’s no point of having them up there as castles we’re
Not going to fery units all the way down there I am ready to okay so I’m just going to go around here and see okay so Reginal Cornwall people okay cuz I want to try and um marry my princesses into my random starting generals if we can sort of keep them
Around rather than adopting them so Reginald Cornwall has been governing Bristol for the entirety of this 32 campaign so he’s a potential candidate or we might go with demand DeVille um potentially I’ll have to see a needs okay so I think we’ve probably got enough military forces to go over to
Irand they shouldn’t be anywhere near as hard as the Welsh they won’t have their own long bowmen maybe even some of the Rebel Scots as well so what I’ll do is I’ll just start off by moving all my best top tier high quality units to the fleet off the coast and
Then we’ll Chuck a general in I think we’ll go with Gregory my king 35 the king that never was so we’ll move him over it’s a shame there’s no port in Wales okay so let’s start off The Siege in Dublin now I don’t know how many settlements there is oh okay so they’ve
Got a large Force but it doesn’t seem to be too crazy okay and then we’ll move everyone in here I suppose we move Baldwin in support and I think maybe what we should do is give his brother Eustace the governorship in Wales now maybe I should just move him over to
Help cuz we don’t seem to have an issue all right we have a Merchants Guild we can get in ruin uh we can get that in Normandy let’s go with this Edward has now come of age nice as Stefan can be a governor now he’s 50 the thing is if you’re constantly moving
Generals around as well like the older ones I do think there’s a chance that they can well die more or less so stepan dear balls has three sons which is nice we want to try and get those guys married off and essentially become the the governors now I was thinking to
Marry this princess to Reginald of Cornwell um but I’m actually going to move him to Normandy to marry Philip de mandville who is 67 but I think he still might he’s still probably got like four years before um he probably he’s probably going to die but I want to try and um
Keep some of these generals alive so we are sacrificing a potential high quality princess but it is not a part of the main Royal line so little bit of an oof because of her age and he’s 67 but um it will fine it will do right let’s continue to Siege at Dublin and
Move the diplomats all right welcome to the top of the turn the princess should be able to land in Normandy so I think it was Robert of gester unfortunately he died so we couldn’t marry her in so let’s marry this off I don’t not this turn next turn for
England’s fut am I to win over hearts or heads all right back in Dublin we’re going to fight this one against the the Irish let’s see if they’re lucky this time around there um okay so slightly in our favor we do atum them quite significantly 3 to one but uh let’s play
This one upon the battlefield here we go to whom God will there will be Victory Shakespeare King Henry V 6th nice okay all right not the most high quality builtup Castle definitely fought in harder back on the mainland but if we’re successful here today we’re going to be to have the
Entirety of the United Kingdom under our control then we can reorganize once again rally up and start moving into the European continent but so far definitely would recommend to you guys if you’re learning SSH IP play as England it’s a really it’s essentially the best way to describe the
England early campaign is a tutorial Island there’s a faction you have to deal with for example so that that can be a little bit tricky but you you learn how to deal against a strong Rebel force in Wales um you learn the spawning mechanics I do quite like the um I
Didn’t notice this when I first started playing that there’s constant popup usually two three of them every single turn that just gives you a bit of a reminder a little bit of a refresher as to how s ship works I think that is really really good cuz sometimes
When you’re just like playing Turtle we kind of Go full zombie mode and start bashing that turn button like a monkey and then you sort of forget oh I should be doing oh I forgot about that so I I do quite like that oh all right that was surprising the Irish
Come flying on out of the gate uh-oh uh-oh rot Ro raggy all right let’s give out some more attack orders there get up and over the walls it’s actually quite a shrewd play to do that are wining we continue like this as it stops the battering R going
Up archers getting some shots up and over the top okay this Siege is going much better but we still might lose a decent amount of casualties we’re still at the end of the day there’s only like one unit like that Norman speed unit that’s like a properly decent Unit Blood they have
Half their men man you just lose so so many casualties on the hard of difficulty it’s so costly I kind of like it you do have to burn like after a conquest 5 10 turns it is very sensible and realistic oh I’ve got the battering ram going on this other flank here by
The way got some Cavalry there to help out okay they got some heavier units that are now starting to hold which is unfortunate okay once we get that gate open we can swing around with our Cavalry yeah not the most overly complicated battles we’ve had in this
Series they just been a little bit grindy against the rebels more or less to be fair the Scots performed a lot better when they actually have proper decent generals I just feel like they’re more cohesive when they’ve got multiple armies although this guy in here is an
All right General all right nice we’ve initiated the countdown they’re going to swing back let’s try and cycle charge them on in and Gregory plantagenet should have another cenal country under his control having a decent Reign the father of the king it was robertt of G garchester our best
General unfortunately didn’t leave any airs he conquered Wales showing no Gregory the ropes I suppose went on to conquer our mened the enemy Scotland and Ireland in this series kind ofce us deat the ofy our men are winning not too much longer now the enemy Army F all of all right so
We had a little bit of time to convalesce 10 turns or since that conquest yeah so you do have to take little breather in this campaign I I kind of I really like the pacing of it it’s nice like we’re only 30 turns in but I feel like we’ve done so much be
Praised he has granted us Victory okay so we’re probably going to have to deal with some Irish resistance at some point which is kind of well annoying but we will want to try and move some of these armies back um it’s not the most valuable territory
To govern oh actually can get all the way back here nice well let’s send them to London cuz we can probably move essentially move them to Normandy oh five provinces conquered oh nice my lord it’s been a while you’re ruling this world you’ve recorded extremist successors you’ve conquered
Five provinces says I’ll keep mom on the phone of lost prises okay right uh no unfortunately to shet she’s already been married off right the Army’s come back from that Irish conquest and there’s no point of leaving it there we want to try and move it to London we could maybe replenish
And repair maybe even retrain some of them but we eventually want to move them to Normy actually maybe going to Lincoln or York would be the play um I think we’ll convert Ireland yeah so there’s only as you can see there in the bottom left the entirety of iseland is just one
Settlement I thought there might have been two that’s okay Stefan diabolis and his brother are going to move to London we might even build some watchtowers on the way Lord okay so let’s 68 now Cy well let’s do it let’s marry her off and uh hopefully they can have some children
So we did have to pay 2,000 but filibert deand diville has married into the family line uh Baldwin can get married off to Amy D Normandy uh sure he is not a current Prince or Heir and he can’t get married to any of the other princes but thankfully check this
Out boys 40 turns in filibert had a daughter Bridget so the line will continue Henry’s had a daughter as well and there’s a fair few other daughters that we could marry potentially to Reginald of Cornwall uh we’re in Cracker now with our Diplomat uh we could probably move
Our spy to try and sus out some of this territory now they still hold aners Britany is up for grabs oh there is a rebel Army though so I think now what we do is we make plans and preparations to go to Normandy now Gregory plantagenet with the Army just recently conquering
Island Fair few turns ago can now move into Britany and start sieging this out not a core aquatan territory that we need but we still need 40 my Diplomat has oh has encountered a Roman army okay they are so far west I you think think they’d be dealing and focusing
With the Turks more or less let’s move our spy here to keep an eye on them um without right oh damn it I’ve already negotiated with the polls I’ve already got trade rides with them before right let’s head into far EAS Europe and maybe into the Balkans oh that’s it I wanted
To deal with this heretic that popped up popped up last thing I want is Philip Dandy well to go on trial for his married having to deal with some Heretics yikes that would be um very unfortunate for the now 70y old all right welcome to the top of the turn 41 turns
In we uh haven’t had a war in quite some time we want to try and deal with this heretic oh nice perfect perfect they can uh really be quite annoying just going around slapping generals so we’ll move the bishop of Canterbury here all right we’ve been sieging out
Britany for quite some time now and we’re going to try and bring over some additional reinforcements with Baldwin so Gregory’s nephew is going to come on over this is Stefan Prince Stefan realistically King Stefan’s first one all right we’ve probably been sieging our Britany long enough we’ve
Got two armies here now we can probably manually play this one uh thankfully that Rebel Army although they in an ambush stance so close to me it hasn’t actually actively pushed against us so we buil up our Siege equipment we’ve also just been waiting for additional reinforcements I was curious to see if
It’ push out uh we atum them 3 to one let’s deal with corul is that like I wonder if that’s like well conand I wonder if like I just I read that as like corneli Cornelius I wonder if there’s some like Celtic bratanic connection do you
Know what I mean like they’ve got a Roman connection very Vinland Saga up in here I’ve been watching that I don’t like anime overall but someone was like well you you like history so maybe you like vland Saga and I was like oh yeah whatever and I was like oh I do like
This I I I I think I like like Western anime I think like made or fantasy like an like I don’t know it’s all right but yeah oh God it took me a while one of us one of us there’s so much gatekeeping around it it’s actually like Beyond
Cringe oh my God man you’re not listening to Subs like do you know Japanese do you actually actively want to learn Japanese no what are you doing why didn’t you listen to the translation I don’t get that anyway let’s deal with the siege of Britany for a tilt people now how will Britany
Perform will they be good as the the Welsh the Scottish or the Irish so far the Irish probably perform the worst out of them it is pouring down with rain so it will make that Arrow fire slightly ineffective particularly with those flammable rounds now really non-existent it might even just reduce
Our default Archer round Effectiveness as the boys slowly but surely make their way up on top of the walls and we’ll March into Britany I think what we’ll do now that we’ve got our armies replenished and repaired I think we want to just try and go around and pick up as many Northern
French territory particularly Rebels and funly enough just try and box them in I don’t know how aggressive France have’ been from what I’ve been saying they haven’t actually been at war with any major factions so I don’t know what the hell they’ve been doing I do think making
That Alliance super early on was incredibly shrewd for us getting them off our back but we’ll try and take as much Rebel territory as we can I we might need to if honestly right do you know what the the play might be if that Belgian territory is still up for grabs
If we can trade that for some of that core aquatan territory I might do it we continue like this will I don’t think we’re strong enough at a stage to go to war with France also it depends what we’re considering France how far have they expanded do they have maray do they
Have too do they have territory in and around the Pyrenees or is it sort of a central core in and around Paris we we are eventually going to need to take I think Jerusalem Paris and 40 regions is our Victory condition so the 100 Years
War is going to come but I’m in no rush um oh okay so he doesn’t have any Siege equipment unfortunately oh that’s annoying that’s a throw for me okay um I what I what I’ll do is I’ll try and get a piece of Siege equipment over there but the thing is cuz I
Haven’t done it quick enough they might just flood and come in on over cuz sometimes that happens if the AI hasn’t moved they’re just going to go through once the breach happens and then everyone’s just going to flood through that Gap that’s going to be annoying
All right 83% before we move on in but really this um campaign and what is going to be tested when we start fighting some major Powers cuz what we’ve play I’ve actually played for this is episode four I usually do like an hour or so in a session so I’ll
Probably be doing a 4 5 Hour campaign like we only just took stabilized replenished recruited and and got the entirety of the United Kingdom under our control within like 40 turns whoever recommended me that it was going to take roughly around about 30 40 50 turns pat
Yourself on the back cuz you were spot on the money I don’t think it’s as slow as Dei to take territory but it’s definitely up there VI will be ours okay the Gateway is now open and let’s flood on in and surge on into the streets of Britany hopefully the Celtic inhabitants
Might be too pissed off I wonder if there was like Welsh soldiers probably fleeing here probably did but this would be a good territory for us bringing in Britany under the control of the English crown speaking of the crown I still technically think we are uncrowned because we haven’t got our cord
Territory there’s still plenty of historical buildings as well we need oh looks like that rain oh no it hasn’t I was like oh maybe the rain’s cleared up a bit there no it’s still very bad oh my God I don’t know where we would be without our carry in this
Series which has been the English archers dude my infantry is absolutely melting away I’m not complaining cuz like they are cheap conscripts but they just get melted constantly yikes Cy like of course Knights are going to perform better actual proper chain mail plate Knights they just cost so damn
Much maybe you should try maybe we should try and get like a core of like four five and then really try and work on them I don’t know way but Gregory is now moving into another Conquest dude is turning into an absolute Chad # Gregory plantagenet okay well even though my infantry’s
Melted away we got those additional reinforcements coming in we’re going to win this one I just don’t trust the order resolve in Medieval 2 particularly with this mod but another Castle will bite the dust so now that we’re moving into Normandy I don’t know if I’m going to be that aggressive in converting
Settlements I think I’m quite happy now we will smash the enemy with the settlements attack the cities which will eventually be be um them like in I think Wales is a city/ settlement irelands fine Scotland and then we’ll have like the core English territory as proper castles I think oh I
Think Normandy is technically a city but it probably could have been a castle also so um let me know in the comments do you think my alliance in giving up anes was a mistake how aggressive are France I just don’t know now cuz we’ve been such loyal allies
With them also we still got that alliance with the Pope uh nice we just got rid of Conan Conan the Barbarian he’s now dead oh what was happening over here oh God I had that every R’s already over here took them I should have done it earlier that’s a miss play by
Me there’s a couple times I’ve forgotten that my secondary Army doesn’t have Sage equipment but it’s all right all right slowly but surely surging through the city streets of Britany and then the British will now have well Britany under their control how fitting the battering R has done it also guys
I’ve been getting comments as well um about mod stability I have noticed that SSH we’ve had like one or two game crashes I think so it is a little bit less stable than stainless steel it’s just cuz I think it’s got so much stuff but yeah
I’d recommend a clean inst of Medi eval 2 read the install properly um you can also make sure I don’t know what it’s called it’s essentially allows Medieval 2 to have 4 GB battles it’s in the um file pack that you download make sure you run that on
Your of will be by Medieval 2 kingdoms executable um and also check the compatibility as well I think you can wind it back that like you can wind back medieval to to run on like Windows launches Windows 7 I think as well so you can even check that in the settings
As well but um really just basically just go read some of the total war Center forums and other stuff but it’s just so hard to troubleshoot sometimes but I want to try and get as many people to play this mod but anyway we’ve managed to take Britney there a fair few
Rebels around and oh it’s a resistance but here the family tree it’s starting to grow quite well we’re in a time of Peace we haven’t been at a war with a major faction in years now um 15 or turns or so in game we’re gaining some traits there we’re just slowly but
Surely building up okay well so we’ve taken Britney in the last episode now unfortunately we did have to gift an J that’s why we don’t own it anymore two France for that Alliance okay so we need to go around here and just try and find Rebel settlements okay so gilim the Builder in
Potier okay potier I think that’s how you say I don’t know I’m not French so I think maybe going setting an army down there might be a good idea I could maybe oh that’s probably the core aquatan territory isn’t it because we’re in a weird situation now
That I kind of don’t want to go to war with France just yet um we still have an alliance with them but we want to try and grab as much Rebel territory as we can and try and box them in I’m sure they’re going to hate that but you never
Know we might be able to trade some of of the Rebel territory in France that we can find that’s like not a part of our core Victory conditions cuz we need 40 regions we need Paris we need Jerusalem of course so war with them will be
Inevitable at some point but to I think we can actually coronate Henry if we get that aquatan territory oh wait so Gand hasn’t been taken so what’s that like Russ souls or Belgium must be as we push uh north towards the Netherlands but it’s end the turn continue see if
Anything pops up never usually does when we’re in a time of Peace just I might even move him in good old grego good old plantagenet boy only that little bits of morale extra pushing boost but I do think God I actually don’t even though we’ve got so much
Territory under control it’s going to be a logistical night to go to a to beat a war with France I can’t even imagine the hre also we might try and once like if we get to a point where we’ve got no Rebel territory to take do we try and
Manufacture once we’ve built up once we’re in a secure position do we try and manufacture a conflict between England and France maybe it might be a smart idea you or alternatively we could maybe uh I mentioned this before in the previous parts we could go on Crusade
And maybe try and set up a principality in one of the places in the Middle East uh maybe in the Levant we’ll see oh okay so we’re running down the countdown here why is there a unit stuck on the wall all right CLE Vic good win but once again a lot of
Casualties I just feel like you can’t really avoid it in these sieges in this game they’re just so so so thick and bloody oh you got to be kidding me well unfortunately we had a game crash we have triumphed my Lord our courage and honor have conquered that’s so annoying well
Unfortunately we had a game Crash had to redo it so the casualties won’t be the same but we’re going to be able to take the Castle now God I hate that especially after the battle I don’t know what it is is it something to do when
It’s like like six times speed and then it ends is that I feel like that could be it as well I feel like some of the battles that I’m really got the the um the six time speed on maybe does it that’s so annoying oh well anyway you live and
Learn okay a Mason’s Guild in London uh sure that’s why you always keep a couple th000 Florence in the bank so we’ll get that uh Sophia is been born we’ve repaired oh basically just repaired it nothing no crazy construction elsewise oh um Gregory’s Sons come of age demand
You’re still of age so we’ll get a daughter sorry we’ll get her to marry Reginald who’s 48 that’s been 10 turns since that last marriage so Reginal of Cornwall who’s been in there for 20 turns governing Bristol since the start of the campaign is now brought into the
Royal line so hopefully he can have some children and we’ll continue these generals lines keep them living all right we’ve been sieging out Gan for quite a while now I don’t I actually don’t know how effective it is to Siege out settle settlements for this long I don’t know how much it’s actually
Inflicting damage on the units inside like four more turns to to one tier the corago I don’t know I’m not going to bother don’t worry worry about me I’m just Lexi as [Â __Â ] all right let’s uh get stuck into what are these These are belgians they’re probably Flemish
Technically but Gand will be a wicked Castle to take but I’m maybe willing to I’m sure if it’s if it’s making I G is probably a better Castle than ANZ look anes ain’t the best Castle um it’s just I couldn’t hold it I felt like they were going to
Attack it so that’s why I gave it up right now unfortunately uh to get the maximum command in this fight we’re going to have to go with a night battle now I can’t see anything it is so so dark but it should be okay as long as we just try and
Charge and make it towards the town Scare Town Square okay now our men have reached the walls with their ladders this settlement can be a little bit sketchy being a huge City because of just the massive Arrow Towers hopefully they just don’t Target and Crush my Siege Towers is this
The first time we’ve actually deployed a bunch of Siege Towers like every single unit has one to be fair looking at this Army build it’s actually like perfect for this settlement it’s a nearly recruited one from Normandy and Southern England for example we have been relying on mostly Archer Supremacy this one
Actually has three units of Norman sergeants we got the various axemen and Spearman but we are a little bit more spear heavy in this one our men have done well the gates have fallen the Lord is with us today we’ve captured the enemy’s walls okay we’re doing it Mom we’re doing it Dad
We’re moving up on the walls and we’re about to take this settlement I can’t see [Â __Â ] I can’t see so dark baldwi diabolis Rock him with the night vision all right now we’re starting to Surge on in hopefully we don’t lose too many this seems like it’s
Um uh the units in this settlement actually look quite scary I’m curious to see how they actually perform but we’ve managed to push through a fair few of them so I’m unsure maybe it’s just the crossbowman okay balance of power is still only just in our favor this is probably Baldwin’s
First real test actually it’s actually a difficult Siege night battle needing to Siege them out this is probably my first no this is I think my first huge settlement Siege as well he did have a little bit of I’m trying to think he did have he would
Have he would have been with his um uncles’s and Father’s campaign in Scotland and he did help in the Irish incursion but this is his first real operation we haven’t really had an absolute Chad of a commander in this series Maybe some of the younger diabolis can rise to that title but I
Feel like we haven’t had anyone over like a fourstar command like we haven’t had some guy that has like a he’s like a Seven Star Commander Chad I’m pretty sure we probably could have got him maybe um accepting some of those potential princesses but hey some of you
Were a little bit upset that I am married off those younger really good princesses to old farts pretty essentially instead of getting the adopted generals but it’s okay there’s going to be plenty more princesses at some point but I don’t know about you I don’t know about you guys like I when I
Play um when I play Medieval 2 particularly in a mod like sshp I love to role play with the family tree I like to try and track Dynasty’s accomplishments oh we managed to get rid of the general there oh that’s massive we’re not even halfway through their
Forces we might just be able to run them down here um and for example I feel like when you start a campaign you have your your family tree and then you have all of these accompanying generals now I feel like especially when I used to play
Medev 2 back in the day those generals those those not randomly generated those like starting initial generals that win you those first early battles and they’re so influential to the campaign they usually just die off and you just like you kind of forget about them I
Kind of like to want to keep them as an active role in this series for example we had Robert of garchester I would have loved to marry him into the main family line cuz he he went out conquered Wales and became the governor so unfortunately that line simply died out um even Regal
Of Cornwall hanging out in Bristol being the governor there for 20 turns he probably deserves a royal marriage governing there and and stabilizing the region uh filibert deand obviously being the defender the stunt Defender defender of Normandy while King Henry was able to essentially operate from London and
And dictate the campaign to conquer the entirety of Britain someone had to stay there and keep the French at Bay and act as a deterence into Normandy so maybe he does deserve a royal marriage so those guys not the most active military commanders as Robert was but hey those
Lines will live on because there’s going to be a point where um there’s not going to be essentially any generals to marry directly into with Princess so we just going to have those um marriage proposals anyway oh wow 99% we’re seeing it for nice very very nice here and then that’s another
Settlement all right we’ll Scout ahead and try and find some more but we might just want to try and hold and bunker in from these positions we’ll see we’ll see how we go eh now I’m curious to see if we’re going to get um basically as you commanded push back
Here or attack cuz we are rapidly expanding now we’ve gobbled up three settlements in quite quick succession we’ll see one should never risk one’s whole Fortune unless supported by one’s entire force H interesting all right Gand is now going to be under our control we’re going to occupy we don’t want to get
Really bad relations okay so the French do hold that oh look at this yeah we do have really bad relations already cuz we took it oh it’s because we’ve um expanded into Europe yikes I cannot do that sire yes your majesty all right nearly about to hit
The big turn 50 I think we’ve done quite well got all of the United Kingdom fully under our control we’re going to have to put the taxes down here Baldwin is the Duke of Alba interesting uh We’ve made our way to the Holy Land and we actually can get a trade agreement
With the kingdom of Jerusalem who for some reason have like pushed into South uh like East Southern turkey interesting that there there but now um we’re getting really bad relations which is terrible actually but we are now starting to box in France ah so we need that core territory we need to
Take what an alliance with the Moos get out of here bro are they thick did they forget the Crusade we actively called on them why oh maybe because we got bad relations with some of the Catholic factions now I don’t know all right welcome to the top
Of the turn candidate for adoption uh no Matthew a swordsmith in Gand sure uh time for battle ra ra ra oh no filiet de Mandell died oh at least he left the daughter who’s now five well the line will continue so we did marry them he did get married when he was 60
But he still managed to had the kids that’s all right well you never know I guess we’ll find out if it’s well his or hers you know even know I mean all righty turn 50 so basically here now in Western France there’s not really anywhere else we can go I’m going to
Keep some spies on the border uh I guess g uh Jeffrey play tag I was saying Gregory jeffre play Greg Jeff whatever your name is G big G oh god um he’s going to sit there he’s only 43 he’s still pretty young uh Baldwin can sit there he’s now 30 and we
Want to try and basically hold these positions defend it from any attack and replenish and repair from those losses I’ve also moved uh Prince Stefan to Norwich uh he’s going to rule from there oh actually no oh what I’ll do cuz he was he was in Scotland I moved him to
Norwich let’s move him to Normandy because filibert just died oh that would be perfect and he can sit there as well and we’ll slowly but surely start building up some armies um if I can get like three full Stacks in Northern in that northern France belt now that we
Occupy and then like basically focus on construction back in Great Britain that’s the play I think cuz I I do feel like these external territories are a little bit risky uh just yet at the moment all right welcome to the top of the turn um let’s have a look at our
Agents now I forgot about my Merchant um I didn’t touch this we’re getting like 600 per turn I think that was set by default um we’re encountering some of the Baltic states now um I might move one of my spies sorry one of my spies around yes but I
Might actually move one of my diplomats eventually back we also have a decent amount of Treasury we’re starting to make like heaps of money on this European continent just cuz we got so much money so I’m going to go around here and actually just try and spend some of this
Money land owners guards it’s probably not a bad idea um maybe like blacksmiths and stuff some of the other territory let’s build this to get some good public growth and happiness oh it also enables the recruitment of spies oh York can’t construct anything that’s annoying Edward is currently North so after those
Short walls uh Wars against those Rebels we now replenishing and repairing cuz recruitment takes so long we need to rebuild those forces adequately okay nice so marshal law in abdine in Dublin is no more right so we need to man that was so long ago it was a couple years
That we took that but we are still now just trying to bring those territories properly and fully into the English fold no Wars have really popped up here we’re also putting a bunch of money into construction here is the family tree the diabolis line is growing quite
Nicely King Henry is called the usurper now I don’t necessarily know why that’s changed okay he’s now 26 um his father Jeffrey the righteous is 45 wa opposes the usurper okay why are all these traits now propping up H that’s a bit bizarre we currently in a civil war Reginal
Married the King’s sister of Cornwell hopefully we can have some well corn W King kids we’re going to build some more buildings over here in France and get some recruitment going as well oh yeah here we go Civil War in England Anarchy reign supreme oh it must
Have popped up before it happened in England as a choosen as a chosen successor of the late King has been overthrown oh my God okay we’re in a full-on civil war oh and I think we’ve had some territory Rebel you’ve got to be kidding me the Young
Nation may have thought there were a few enemies upon the aisle of Britain worth fearing oh no um I don’t know how that’s exactly going to work as there isn’t a proper in-depth Civil War mechanic in medieval okay nothing there cardinal report yikes oh okay so this is why it’s happened
Interesting so Edmund plantagenet so who oh so I guess there’s like certain backers of the king how do I resolve this Civil War maybe I need that territory okay wow okay so unfortunately danan has rebuilt oh that’s just such annoying and same in Dublin as well we just got rid of that
Um martial law okay well we’ve got a small Garrison here so we can start sieging we might need to get a general to go over there and command thankfully uh is it Edward deoss so shall preva not everyone supports the King which is interesting um one of the king’s
Brothers has come of age so let’s move him back to Britany Edmund plantag so he actually opposes his brother interesting all right still slowly we surely building up our military force they didn’t like fully Rebel that would have been kind of sensible and realistic conspiracy opposes the user wow a lot
Of the Kings brothers and brothers in-law what about Edwood doesn’t say Eustace is a conspirator Baldwin opposes King Henry Prince Stefan I imagine thinks you should be king all right we’re currently sieging out Dublin um it’s only four turns until they surrender now anyway so we might just try and Siege them out
Fully um back up in the north I don’t think we need any reinforcements Edward diabolis second born son of Prince Stefan who wants to be king is now in charge to take it uh France are trying to get poers back under their control right welcome to the top of the turn um
I think even though it’s three turns into surrender we’re probably going to have to play this one 500 inside we do outnumber them slightly but seeings they don’t have a general we should be okay right back on the fields of Scotland again facing some Scottish backed
Separatists as we try and deal with our first English Civil War I did read someone in the comments that they were saying is oh they have a pretty hard time as England as there’s constant Civil Wars I did read and remember that comment when all this Civil War stuff now has popped
Up I wonder how you correct it I’m assuming we need to get all of aquatan under our control damn that’s annoying we’ve only had two kings in this series with the family tree split it is turning very Crusader Kings forward French territory I was putting so much of my construction funds into England
Because it’s pretty hard for an enemy faction to penetrate deep into the UK and England like I don’t think York’s going to get attacked anytime soon or hell even Lincoln we’ve got a really nice buffer zone separated by a sea in northern France now all right just need to wait just a
Little bit longer that goes to only men of great virt and we’ll have dun Eden back under our control nice by God’s will we have Triumph oh my God bless meon conquered I was out of nowhere oh that’s annoying that they’re unhappy cuz I can’t um Sack or execute
I’m just going to have to occupy some of that infantry isn’t the best we might have to F more solders up potentially oh actually you know what I could get some mercenaries for the time being okay um I’m going to move you back to England Edmund now what
Is the best place for you to go probably Lincoln I only really want generals with active armies in France cuz it’s still a little bit dangerous having HS of family members on the continent all right still building up our military position in Gand it’s just a little bit exposed um where are our
Diplomats actually you know what I got an idea I found this French diplomat here as I was moving my Diplomat back maybe I try and get some relations with them cuz we’re actually like not the best I just want to try and increase My Relations cuz they have soured over
Recent years um I am willing to give them Gand for anes back cuz I need that settlement hit my victory conditions or otherwise we’re just going to have to take it by force military ESS we’ll give them Gand they’ll trade us on and we’ll give them
Like 2,000 what are they going to say they’re not interested damn we’ve been allies with them for like 53 turns oh my God our relationship’s even soured to so so cuz we are building up here there’s no more Rebel territory for me to take here maybe um like in the
Netherlands but then we’re very much overextending I think uh Edmund now moving back to Lincoln has managed to caught one of the Lincoln Noble women Evangel Frampton uh sure let’s marry him off I would rather marry into other Noble houses but that’s okay oh wait Owen of Cornwall has been born nice
So yeah the King has a nephew now nice so the Cornwall line will live on Reginald the farmer a 30-year govern governor of Bristol that’s so funny that’s cool all back over in the UK now I think we’re going to have to manually play this battle in Dublin
Now we’ll give it one more turn and then I think we’ll play it actually you know what maybe I should move a General over there no way oh you’ve got to be kidding me man the enemy hased us the French have surprised attack us oh no they have
Moved two full Stacks into Southern Belgium the French speaking territory that they have a claim to and they’re actually striking Normandy yikes we haven’t even we’re in a full-blown Civil War and the French are going to take advantage oh wow this is massive maybe negotiating with them was not the best
Idea and now we’re getting attacked during the intern phase oh we might not be able to get a general over there then um well we’re going to have to manually fight this one who four units of archers that’s annoying and then we’re going to have to deal with the
Consequences of what the french have done as if they’ve done that as if they’ve backstabbed me and surprised attacked me luckily I have so many military forces over there in France like we just didn’t need them but is it Justified we have kind of penned them on in I was
Willing to negotiate but I guess looking diplomatically in the grand scheme of things fighting a defensive Alliance is probably more acceptable ooh this is going to be tough I don’t know if we can win this it’s just going to take our best unit infrastructure sh recruitment is actually back in England we’re going
To have to F it on over to northern France oh this is going to be so tough particularly we’re in a full-blown Civil War oh my god do we get rid of the general there what the hell yikes all right they’re actually charging it against us which is interesting I can’t see anything
Happening here right well how are we going to deal with the French situation now I can just sort of have a think in a breather we should be able to win this once we’ve stabilized Ireland and Scotland the thing is we got to be careful because we don’t want to
Be doing too many offensive actions cuz the other factions already hate us maybe we expanded too quickly maybe that’s what is I feel like we’re only taking territory though this maybe it’s inevitable we’re under attack man I was willing to negotiate with them as well well now we
Have an opportunity to retake our old castle in anes back the only problem is is uh Spain on the border we do need all of will bord at some point so we might have to take it by force the day is ours sire this is English reoccupied Dublin we have looted
The enemy camp I’m sure like diplomatically them attacking us isn’t going to be that Strong like it’s going to hamper them quite a bit wow we still got poor relations with France the hre and the Danes interesting we’re still at war with we’re still allied with uh the pap SE yikes um this is bad what am I going to do what am I going to
Do all right so I think we start off with just putting Dublin on a low tax right I’m going to move over Eustace diabolis to go help and govern the island so he was in Wales but I think because of that Rebellion there um Prince Armory 59 so the prince has
Marched out from Paris he’s quite old and Stefan and his firstborn son Baldwin is under siege I think so Gregory’s actually in the South I kind of don’t want to leave this Castle but they’ve left angz so weak maybe they moved their forces back towards Paris maybe or maybe some of the force
Join the attack look you know what unless it’s a bit what I’m going to do is I’m actually going to move my smaller Army there we need diplomats over here big time maybe we need to negotiate with the Holy Roman Empire try and get them involved I’m sure some of that Germanic
SL French speaking territory along the Ry and line region they’d want to help thankfully I moved Edmund back the king’s um brother CU he could have been a little bit dead if you stayed in uh France oh God as if they did that I’m surprised that they backstabbed me it’s cuz our
Relations got so low I think um maybe I do cancel some of this just so I can get money so I can get some negotiations maybe yes my Lord like for example yes sir if I nego you’re in range let’s do that then so map information I want an alliance if I can
Frederick he might be a main Governor an alliance for 6,000 plus just rejected okay ideally we want to try and get them involved and help out in this war because that would be massive the hre and England always did have a solid Alliance historically and some marital ties
Particularly with some of the Germanic houses let up this the tribute can sometimes push it over the line cuz he can kind of be a little bit cheeky and cancel it yeah very weak but deceitful I wonder if it’s our King maybe our King is just a bit
[Â __Â ] right let’s move these two units from Britany to at least besiege ANZ it’s only going to take one turn for them to create some Siege equipment and what I’ll do is if it gets built and we don’t drag out an army we might commit Gregory plantagen the King’s father into the
Field um for now you don’t seem to lose like crazy attrition sitting and fighting like I could March out against Prince orary of France but I might just allow them to attack me during the end turn or maybe just let them attack me our economy will go down quite a bit but
I I kind of want to treat this as a defensive War I don’t want to be like too aggressive and offensive but we’ll see we’ll see really what happens when France has their turn oh they skipped it so they’re going to Siege out a turn in Normandy and G but this could be
Catastrophic we could lose the prince it might actually help our civil war issues no you’re going to be kidding me oh I think that’s spine I think the king the kingdom of casti just attacked me what we’re getting absolutely ganged up on what is happening still got a pretty decent
Amount of money and the pope wants to ceased hostilities I’ll get out of here with that I actually think the Pope’s French oh he is two oh that is such a conflict of interest so they’re telling me I can’t retake my own settlement of anes because we’ll be excommunicated
Otherwise oh we’re going to have to withdraw that is a massive conflict of interest why do we just get so much money there and we’re at war with Spain oh no this is really bad we might actually lose all of our Northern French territory if we’re not careful
Here so angers can’t get taken we have to wait seven turns before we we can’t even do any offensive action anyway I cannot do yeah we need to get the H involved I cannot do that cuz they’re so close I guess we just got to keep ending the
Turn recruiting and repairing and uh just wait until the French attack and we just react from that all right so they’re going to attack Normandy oh wow this is make or break the battle of the princes the Marshall the Duke of orans 59 years of age wants to eventually be king
Someday one to one we outnumber them here we go massive battle here today France V England the the 100 Years War is about to begin all right now thankfully this is a huge City and it’s pretty good so we’re just going to have to set up defensive positions now we probably have numerical
Supremacy on them but we certainly do not have the unit quality they have far better and numerous mounted Swordsmen all platted up in armor and boiled Leathers they actually have like proper Knights yikes but guess what that’s not going to do much about the vast amount of Arrow towers and archers
We have oh that’s what I’m talking about this is why um the sshp mod is so sensible and historically realistic we took all the UK brought it under our control we pushed and into northern France I think it’s cuz we took so much of their bordering territory like we extended our border so
Much and moved so many forces on there they kind of felt pinned and boxed in I’m surprised they didn’t actually take Britany or Gand or even portier I don’t know what they were sort of doing maybe to be fair they could have a massive Eastern French Kingdom like they could
Be pretty far into Northern Italy or I don’t know southern France that would be my guess unless they just like threw yeah look at this they have a bunch of light mened arms they look so good the axe militia we should be able to deal with oh I don’t know if I’m
Going to be able to win this one this is going to be so so close but here we go this could be make or break it’s a pretty um solid strategy I haven’t played a defensive medieval Siege in so so long I love it that the AI took the
Initiative to do a surprise attack it’s not going to be too popular within Chrome they do risk excommunication in doing this but they do have the ear of the Pope if they are successful I can’t believe that is so so funny that’s actually so realistic that a French Pope
Gets voted in two of our settlements are under siege we right okay we’re going to go take a castle and the pope goes no you can’t take that castle and it’s like well we need that it’s a military objective for us but they say no so I don’t know we
Basically can only fight defensively but then we might be able to s for peace so we might need to move the archers off these walls as well we’ll let them get some shots but if they start getting engaged into melee combat it might be sensible just to move
Them Lord the enemy are battering down the gates man we are not favored to win this one whatsoever but here they come the French are now surging on over but if we lose Normandy here not only do we lose a potential King in stepan diabolis but we also lose our largest our
Strongest our what 56 turn castle that we’ve been holding and developing God knows what the french are going to do with them and it divides the kingdom up like it actually might be a point I don’t know do we move back do we Retreat this is like a flash point in
The campaign if we can win these battles we might be able to stay in France a little bit longer if we lose this could set us back to England and then we have to go back over here and fight that’s why I was so open to actually give up Gand because those
Far Eastern sorry Western French territory in and around that Bry and potier region and kind of is there’s like four settlements in quite um a dened condensed fashion like over here protecting Gand is just like so far away also we haven’t even calculated what the damn French you’re going to do
I can’t sorry the Spanish you’re going to do I can’t believe that I think we’ll focus on the French but I guess we could move into bordo now I can’t believe they took that the Spanish always looking to capitalize on a crisis geez our men are winning the George save
Us the enemy it’s a little bit hard to see who’s exactly winning here particularly with the balance of power not changing all right now that I pull the archers off the walls it’s actually better just try and hit this cluster and those units on the walls we can get
A really good angle all right this is what we want this is good we’re doing a lot better on some portion of the walls we should have a bonus fighting but in the Gateway surrounding them with spears from multiple angles multiple vectors of attack our men are winning the battle if
We continue like this we will smash should be able to pin them down I just hope they throw in their jet they are throwing everyone through that Gateway and the French Prince is leading from the front and we’re doing it yes I can see the balance of power
Changing this is our home Normandy is Our Land get out of here bro I love the stakes though Two Princes from two respected dynasties hell probably cousins okay just have to be careful when we start giving out attack orders here now I feel like sitting in this
Defensive stance we’ve used as much as we could our men are winning the battle if we continue like this we will smash the enemy okay we still haven’t got rid of the prince where is he now we’ve got a massive opportunity to deal with if we I think we’re going
To win this now I can’t see them coming back from this even though we’re pretty exhausted 4763 and there’s Mass routes happening on several sections of the wall and the main gateway uh the amount of people we’re going to capture what do we do we can’t release them we’re going to
Have to try and Ransom them but they might not be able to afford them we’ll see nice there we go we got him I’m pretty sure it was him yes Prince Armory is no more we’ve managed to throw back the first French attack and hopefully it’s the first of many more to
Come oh my God this is going to be a pic Victory we’ll continue and try and run down as many of them as we can but Stephan de the Crown Prince a man who thinks he should be King has now defended Normandy valiantly as the king sits back in
England and near is like a split between two factions but these two families it’s kind of nice wow what an absolute throw I wonder if it was the uh the French King’s plan or the princes but this is a catastrophic defeat for the French one full Stack
Down one more to go in the active field there might be another one somewhere else that I can’t see in the fog of War we’ve got roughly the same territory as them so I’m sure they probably got a similar Army size just trying to gobble up as many of them as we
Can come on add them all up add all those units up to that Ransom list that’s what we want all right uh let’s probably just end that one there heroic Victory 1,000 lost only 155 remaining and importantly we have the French Prince under our control The Souls of the Emperors and
The Cobblers are East in the same Mount what oh no what ah this is driving me nuts these game crashes so we’ve had to redo this battle again they will accept the ransom but um because we had to redo it unfortunately we don’t have Prince Armory um to Ransom or he didn’t die
He’s just fled back oh that frustrates me so much I don’t know what it is man the game crashes are getting worse they were so stable in the campaign maybe because it’s just going on I feel like this is more unstable than vanilla and I don’t know what it is unfortunately we got
Surprised attacked by the French and the 100 Years War is now off now I’m trying to Parlay with the Holy Roman Empire here and trying to get them involved I’m happy to offer them territory in Belgium for a potential Alliance and get them to join in because we are in a scary scary
And precarious position with our Northern French territories our core territory in Normandy Under Siege and potentially under French subjugation so we at the start of the last episode we actually had our first English Civil War with the family tree is now split uh Scotland and Ireland
Rebelled of the now Henry is called the usurper Prince deolis has um sided with himself he him the diabolis line Wants to Rule while the plantagen line wants to do so as well in this turmoil they’ve sort of somehow put aside their differences to deal with the external
Threat as things do as things happen politically um and we have to deal with the French now Prince Stefan got attacked at Normandy he threw back the French Prince his son King Baldwin is currently at Gand and is under Threat by the French again now unfortunately believe this or not oh
This is so annoying because of our early alliance with the French they ended up backstabbing us of course we actually put all of our paper and Bishop support to to back the pope now the pope is currently French now we can’t do any aggressive hostile actions against the
French we only can do defensive so because if we don’t do it within if we do do an aggressive action Within These six turns we could get excommunicated and all of Christendom can get involved now I think that is so realistic and so sensible it’s it’s really really cool
Actually that the French doing this attack have the backing of the Pope and they know this as well so we can’t do anything but defend ourselves or otherwise we threaten factions like the hre factions like Portugal and all these Eastern Catholic factions to come in uh
We technically are at war with Spain but they’ve only blockaded and raided some of the northern French ports that we own they haven’t done any military action I do still think that they are more than likely focusing down in Spain because they are still dealing with the Recon
Keista but we might need to do some military action against them so Ste uh Baldwin here needs to set up this defense and hopefully we can throw back the second French army but man this is super tough it took us so long to get all the entirety of England under our control
We’ve kind of neglected these external territories on the European continent just because well this is a really good example they are constantly under threat of Siege so I didn’t really want to lose any of the construction turn time because it’s quite high and obviously the money but
This is going to sort of make or break the campaign if we can throw them back we might be able to push and make a massive counter offensive topple the French monarchy and maybe take Paris for ourselves we still need 40 40 regions um we still Need Paris and Jerusalem under our control but yeah no I didn’t want a war with the French just yet luckily I did have the majority of my military forces here but at the end of the day fighting a defensive war is not the best if you
Are going to plan and and go for go for a war you better have to be on the front Fort set up and attack if we were to go to war with the French at some point but I guess thankfully we didn’t have to break it and get worse relations but our
Relations already quite bad due to the expansionist Penalty that’s in this mod okay so we are defending Gand here a lot of Belgium lot of Flemish a lot of French inhabitants in the city and I’m sure the French will want to claim and take it I’m surprised that
They pushed for here and didn’t like push further south um it’s sort of annoying as well I was happy to give Gan to the hre for an alliance for them to join in but the diabolis line um could have actually ended the main line if Stefan or Baldwin were to die all right
We’re just holding here now nothing too crazy tactically but we just need to hold might need to pull the archers off the wall soon fully good have them on the walls for the first initial moments of The Siege until the siege equipment actually gets up there
There’s no point of having them on the walls if they get initiated into melee combat and have to draw their swords and battle it out and Slug It Out in meleo just better off pulling back and then getting some shots off but here they come Baldwin had some experience subduing
Celtic Rebels you could put it learned a lot from his father but this is his first time actually facing proper trained and equipped European Knights French European Knights at a matter of fact now this is not the faction air that we’re facing at the end of the day so they might capitulate quicker
Potentially the battle is very much in our favor if we remain true and steadfast the enemy are badly blooded they have lost nice large swaft of units there are retreating bro this is so intense just drop a rally cuz why noty our enemy nice all right they’ve capitulated we killed the US enemy
Captain Gilbert gilber all right now they we haven’t fully won just yet cuz there are some units still holding oh no we got them now all right let’s just try and run down as many of them as we can phew another glorious Victory a defensive Victory as
Well now I guess we replenish and repair and uh what are we going to do yeah defending seems to be the play thankfully we don’t lose too many units holding out all right it’s going to be really hard for the French to come back from this one two full Stacks absolutely
Crushed on the might of English walles and brave English Boys the diabolis boys are making a strong claim too or at least be the ruling Dynasty yeah I haven’t decided who should rule what I’m assuming we’ll just go with male preference Primo genitor utterly vanquished all right nice solid Victory
A man can die but once King Henry fair enough all right so we can Ransom oh honorable they’ve rejected okay I wonder if they’re going to be too happy about that that we had to execute them uh all right let’s see what happens at the top of the turn oh check this out
Mission expired as this faction is being excommunicated oh no oh wow that is so so politically fascinating so if the oh we got a good marriage there potentially so if they succeeded the pope would have backed them but now has France’s fail catastrophically they’ve been excommunicated and been thrown under the
Bus as the other Catholic factions can’t support a an offensive War oh now we got free reign um Gregory of Kent 18 he’s got some good traits he’s ugly now but she’s only one heart so that’s probably as best as she’s going to get so we’ll
Accept that we’ll play the we’ll pay the dowy so Gregory of Kent oh we’ve got to move him to um well well norch we should move him over to that east east side of England he can govern from there that’ll be quite fitting okay well um oh thank
That is so so fortunate so now that we have essential essentially free reign to do offensive actions we’re about to go to town let’s go nuclear let’s try and make sure France never never threatens or attacks English security again all right so we’re going to try reclaim ANZ a settlement that we
Gifted um we are being besieged in Britany I think Gregory can sit here for now I’m trying to think if we just push for Paris and get rid of them yes after winning we probably could win a sieg it’s going to be quite bloody though yeah let’s push from
Normandy it’s not that far to get to Paris and let’s get some Revenge we are still even with those two full Stacks seem to be drawing they actually probably outnumbered Us 2 to one matter of fact they had a lot of territory G Gand is just so far away from those other
Territory anyway Let’s uh end the turn and continue and see how the French react we want to try and take okay so they’re going to take again again we should be able to win a defensive Siege if it does come to that we actually might need to attack and take Paris this
Turn I believe the prince of France is in there Armory or whatever his name is unfortunately due to that game Crash we didn’t kill him earlier oh wait oh someone took utre uh the French begin a Siege yes so there’s only going to be a limited amount of
Time before they’re going to be kept in in that excommunication realm so we got to kind of go in and act quickly all right so they stop sieging Britney interesting uh oh my God there’s only two units in there we’re going to have to manually play this one how how
Is that not Auto resolvable that’s so annoying so we’ll do that at some point I think we’ll play The Siege of Paris that’s going to be more interesting I think so there is 120 reinforcing okay so we do have number them two to one here and no it’s everit capet okay of
The caraan dynasty interesting there’s a plague going on um that’s that’s going to be annoying for Prince Stefan but he might just have to soak it up was that guy called rat and he’s actually got a plague of rats in the city that’s uh incredibly unfortunate all right let’s have the
Siege of Paris now we’re not going to have any Siege Towers which is unfortunate sometimes you need them but we’ll have to do with ladders I do there is you T the thing is if you don’t want your siege equipment you get destroyed your siege Towers you are
Better off going with ladders they make your units more susceptible to Arrow fire so there’s a mod or a particular castle with really really good Arrow fire capability your units are exposed compared to being in an arrow Tower but it’s kind of catastrophic if an arrow Tower engulfs in flames and
Gets crushed and destroyed you can use you can lose like a full unit but I hope you guys are enjoying this series it’s a lot of fun it’s slow and methodical it does take a little bit of time to build up there’s a lot of editing needed
Like a half an hour video like this I probably I probably play like an hour and a half or two maybe depending then I have to edit it down I don’t I’m just recommending it okay so they interestingly like pushed out against us that’s a a legitimate strategy from like a human
Player okay I’ve sent my Cavalry around here he’s got 32 we might be able to snipe their reinforcing General here having two generals will be a little bit annoying hitting light militia from the rear they might actually not be able to get in from that side or we might be
Able to send in the Cavalry so let’s hit them from the rear 132 before the initial charge dropped a bit don’t want to stay there too long just need to make sure we cycle charge them adequately okay we knocked out 40 and then now shaken let’s swing around
Again oh no no no no oh okay it’s okay no no no it’s not yeah I thought that it’s turn oh my God what the hell oh I think what happened is we caught up to them too much and it turned into a frontal slid hit rather than a rear charge oh my
God Stefan no well it actually might sort of help our bipartisan buddy family tree it’s split at the moment okay I think we’re progressing quite well about a 50/50 yeah I think we should just sege for the Town Square okay there seems to be a decent amount there but let’s just get the
Majority the large majority of my Force to what the hell why are they abandoning it what the heck now they come back the city here we go lot of Cavalry here yeah there’s no point we might keep some units fighting on the walls just simply to pin them down for
To not come back but no the Town Square is where it’s at okay so when you got so many units blobbed in like this in a town square and they’re fighting to the absolute Bitter End we’re better off just trying to completely surround them and envelop
Them so their morale drops quite a bit if we had more Cavalry it’ be so much better but at the end of the day we are still fighting with tier one trash units maybe once we take French territory and expand um we might look to get more bit it’s just so expensive to
Have those Knights like controlling these large swaps of territory you can get away with garrisoning them with these type of units and like taking settlements from Rebels when you’re actually fighting a major power you do need at least one s tier level Army but hey I think we’re doing well
Under the circumstances maybe I’m being a little bit too hypocritical cuz we are in a defensive War we didn’t plan for this I didn’t expect an attack from my Ally my Ally France it’s not like oh we’re bordering them and then there’s been a dispute no they betrayed
Me yeah maybe some SS hip Con ofur in chat let me know do you think I even though I took a bunch of Rebel territory did I take it within a certain amount of turns too quickly like we did quite well after we had all the UK under our
Control we just like splurged and went flying on on in to northern France but man two full Stacks crushed now the counter offensive is well and truly underway as England flies and fires on into the streets of Parry I’m sure they’re not going to have be happy with
Occupation I don’t even know where their King is where is their King probably on some Far southern France Shau drinking a glass of shadon listening and seeing as France Burns and uh Paris is on fire they are protest in the streets are we talking we talking about 2020 we 2023 or
Or uh what is this now it’s it must be 1159 is jeez I don’t know if I’m going to be able to win this actually we’ve only got five more units we need to switch on here and play attention as we push Good Tidings the enemy lies dead on
These last couple of units oh there we go yeah that’s what I wanted that’ll do cuz I think there was two wasn’t there there was a reinforcing General en and then the one on on the inside who what is happening to my frames brother I don’t know what’s happened is it about to
Crash well this is turning into an absolute slideshow oh my god well we’ll still try and play this out t tactically i don’t no we’re on one time speed now what is happening wait hang on that was better when I was zoomed out what as I zoom in what
Zooming in usually makes it worse not zooming zooming out usually makes it better not zooming in makes it better what oh my God this is way too close come on just this last little unit there we go swinging the balance of power oh my God that was nearly like 80%
On I think we’re bringing it back oh there we go it’s GG’s now it was a general unit sitting there I was like why is this last unit just holding out so much oh my God average Victory what is like they’re Capital at the end of the
Day M God we’ve done it we have destroyed a half a stack and have now taken the French Capital what do we do obviously sacking and Exterminating is probably the play but we might just have to occupy it might be too unfavor we lost so many men us I nearly might oh
It’s also there’s a plague involved as well this is going to be tough I guess we just occupy here famous Victor why why does Denmark hate us so much so far we’ve managed to unite the entirety of the United Kingdom fully under our control after doing so we had
Enough enough strength and power to push into northern France and in doing so we kind of encircled the French a little bit taking a lot of Rebel territories under our control we did have an alliance with them uh they attacked us potentially it was due to some failed negotiations we had with
Them cuz we wanted this Castle here we wanted anes or an I managed to go through and actually learn a lot of the French pronunciations because H some of the butchering is great not just only for the English but also the French as well of course so I’ll go through and give it
A a Rec crack but just to recap this series so far we were trying to negotiate I was happy to give them uh Gand up in Belgium that’s I’m that’s probably wrong don’t we haven’t got started on Belgium and Dutch words and uh Dutch words just yet so they refused
It kind of made our relations so and so early in the camp I did a pretty shrewd move I gave them for an alliance which is a pretty decent castle in the South it did show our Goodwill but it only allowed us to have an alliance for 50 turns which is not
Too bad the thing is I couldn’t justify keeping any troops down here we like just simply didn’t have them I needed to secure um Normandy and run uh ran more so that’s why I essentially gave it to them so we’re pushing here now into that’s how you say it I think I said
That I think I got that one right but I just went with vanz cuz I I just read it as that I don’t know any french didn’t learn it but uh yeah so couple of words so so so Ron um twah like tro tro is like twah
Uh what was some of the other ones oh that was it de um it’s not deis you guys were having a laugh I’ve never heard it pronounced out loud in ages but yeah it’s D so we’ve got a D attacking so God all right so we shouldn’t
Um lose this battle shouldn’t be too difficult the um order resolves are just so so harsh in this mod so we’re going to have to manually play it but still continuing Upon Our long Victory conditions of 40 regions we need Paris we need par and Jerusalem surging in here this is
Actually a proper decent Castle we haven’t fought in this Castle blueprint in quite some time I think when they got those drum towers and the walls it’s like a tier two settlement we fought a lot of wooden castles like earlier in the series but also I did read some comments
Over the last couple of Parts sometimes you guys were saying there was actually a like a audio desync it was actually I think I’m having I don’t know what it is with this one I think it’s how it’s set out for example you don’t see it normally when I play but sorry
When I’m playing normally you don’t see my cursor be like really dark for some reason in the recording it actually makes it dark and I don’t know what that is I think it’s got to do with how it’s loaded this mod um it’s a little bit surprising anyway here is the territory
We control we’re still getting attacked up in Gand again we’ve already destroyed two full Stacks we’ve managed to hold Paris and also I did have a couple questions about the succession as well cuz I don’t know too much about this period I didn’t study it in history so
Essentially uh Prince Stefan deur was probably have meant to have died already he’s quite old so they essentially make Henry king after him so it’s interesting so technically in this French Civil War the deur line is currently fighting their cousins well maybe even there’s even a connection um
Closer with the plantagenet French Lin like ethnic French um bits in them as well but there are currently active blur cousins fighting in the field for France which is quite funny all right so down in potier we have Gregory of Kent he’s been married into the line we’ll eventually move him
To well Kent Norwich is the castle in that East Anglia region with 63 turns into the campaign and man I am thoroughly enjoying this mod I love the slow methodical approach you have to be really cautious about where you spend your construction and recruitment like you actually care about your generals
And the family tree is fantastic as well I love it I love it a lot also it really helps out with um my arm sland injury as well it’s like nice and slow cuz I’m still dealing with a lot of nerve pain in my arm and the
Battles aren’t so micro heavy so maybe I need to play more of these older Total Wars but yeah no this is really um sort of re-sparked my interest in Medieval 2 and particularly well modding Medieval 2 so we do have to be a little bit cautious here cuz we’ve got a
Lot of units in the field particularly when it’s winter unfortunately I don’t know what’s happened but I think France has l a lot of plagues go about the place I’m pretty sure France uh have been excommunicated we did have to burn a couple of turns because the pope is
Essentially French and French backed which is super interesting he was super helping their aggression by telling us to stop attacking them earlier in the series but due to how much the French threw and we won our Incredibly Close defensive sieges I guess it was sort of UN tenable
To hold the position of backing the Hostile and aggressive French in this one okay so Gregory slowly but surely gaining some renowned but at the moment we haven’t really got any absolutely chattered absolutely goed High tier commanders I feel like we’re I don’t maybe it’s a lot harder to
Gain command stars in this mod correct me if I’m wrong I’m still very much learning I haven’t played stainless steel in eight years I think it was something crazy that I looked there’s even comments like oh my God you’re terrible at this game bro I haven’t played in like eight years I’ve
Never actually played SSH I feel like there’s always a bit of a learning curve when you get back into Mods the thing is as well I play so many mods for Total War and each one of them is vastly different sometimes they simply just balance the
Units or you need to sometimes they it’s like normal normal it’s like perfectly balanced for a decent hard campaign has done it work now but so far Brave and brave Deeds on the harder difficulties this is definitely where the mod shines absolutely enem but also I feel like the really really good
Units like you need like two three of them if you’re in a really tricky situation if you the thing is if you get caught out or surprise attacked in the open field like three four decent Knights and Spearman if you like armored units if you can play them well and not be an
Idiot that that that’s a French word for you um if you’re not a fool with them tactically you should be able to pull out a win enemy okay oh we’ve managed to get rid of the captain there so now we’re starting to take some of their smaller
Castles which is vital to cut off their recruitment capacity I do think that they have kind of I don’t know thrown in this series The French it they didn’t s they didn’t conquer enough Rebel territory quick enough all right so Orleans is now fallen potier is currently not so happy
So we’re going to have to restructure some of our settlements we’re going to have to like bring units down and around to sort of help it they have a lot of units just like hanging about here Robert the farmer he’s a pretty decent Commander there’s a small army threatening Normandy we have Prince
Omry oh wait they stopped attacking Eng Gand interesting yeah I think when the Spanish to I think like the two Spanish factions pushed over into southern France it kind of stopped them so we got RS here all raw um I still want Pace I like I would give
Them all lanes for Pace if third except there is nothing us cuz at the moment we’re really going to struggle to hold some of this territory oh they are just not interested I think it’s a pretty good deal I was even going to offer them War compensation of like
6,000 even though they’re the aggressors but to be fair we currently hold Paris which they think they might be able to take um well I’m going to move Baldwin de blur which is Prince St stepan’s firstborn sign okay if we do with a knight attack that’s not going to
Work we do have number though we might actually be able to get rid of Prince omry finally we did uh knock him out earlier in the series but unfortunately we had a game Crash so we had to reload and replay it and then he ultimately escaped which is rather
Unfair but yeah I’d highly recommend this mod go check it out on mod DB St the still SSH but yeah definitely with your guys support has been absolutely fantastic we’re definitely going to do more Medieval 2 SSH IP on the channel um I don’t know who I should play as
Next should I play as the Romans I always tend to play as them they actually I don’t know how difficult it is I don’t know the situation at this point do they I would imagine they Pro oh it’s earlier so they probably control Constantinople if they start in an I I
Think it’s can be a little bit difficult but here we go stepan deur the mercil merciless with his firstborn sun and air now unfortunately looking at oh the Topography of this battlefield it is nice and flat but the tree cover is quite insane and this will be what the third
Or fourth stack crushed we’re not favored to win this one so we’re just going to try and advance and then hold we do have three units of armored Norman sergeants Spears variant which would be good bunch of archers as well I did read in the comments as well a lot of you
Guys were saying the mid to late English archers and essentially their Bowman are goated so I need look out for them I remember a chat of Marcus said that um this is the Dark Souls of Total War is it is sshop that oh my spearm are getting crushed here
Now though so what we want to try and do is give out some attack orders so we can pin them in place we just need those reinforcements to smash around in the rear now unfortunately cuz we are fighting in the forest it will reduce our combat efficient C we are better
Suited for holding a front line in an open field with our Spears and shield which have really low attack but High defense but that’s not going to work if our archers can’t get any shots around we do have some maxman there I’ve been asked if I’m going to
Play uh Total War Pharaoh as well um I have no interest I’ve had Pharaoh for quite a while I don’t have any interest doing a campaign I don’t I think I’ve sort of come to the realization that I just don’t en enjoy Troy like the base game
Um even though the campaign map is an improvement it’s kind of me when the battles aren’t very good I I just I yeah I think it I think I I didn’t realize how much I dislike the battles in Troy and I actually you know what I don’t
Know if I do like the campaign map is smart and sensible but I don’t even know if I like the UI and the campaign map like overly that much anyway enough for me to play it so I enjoyed my Troy campaigns with Achilles and Hector mostly because of my love for
The Iliad and the Odyssey and stuff I do think the mnon DLC was probably the best I actually really enjoyed playing as mnon I think that’s a underrated Total War DLC where you basically play as an African horde faction havec we’ve lost of our in Troy so that’s pretty
Good but I I don’t i’ I’ve never really had any interest in Bronze Age Egypt like at all um let alone the battle’s not being very good and the campaign map being kind of me but hey Never Say Never I I don’t think we’re going to play it anytime
Soon there’s just so much Total War mods and content to play like I was like uh I want to play medeval 2 I want to go back to 2008 and play Stay the steel some people wanted me to play as the Papal States only half the enemy
Force remain I don’t know if I don’t know I’d rather play as a kingdom okay so my reinforcements have arrived D but unfortunately a lot of my front liners just simply capitulated it has swung back to a 50-50 now that my father Stefan is now here I do
Feel like we’ve been a little bit lucky with our family members they have lasted a bit I’m trying to get the general there but I can’t catch him battle is very much in our favor so this is a comment from Henry VI uh this is from JB Henry Died without a May air
Leaving no claimant to the throne amongst the house of Normandy his daughter Matilda known as the empress Matilda as he had been married as as she has been married to the Holy Roman Empire all right so technically she was away stepan deur fought for the crown
During the Civil War yeah I knew that called the Anarchy I don’t know if this is like a chat GPT response or he’s actually taking the time to write this out all right we’ve won this now let’s try and run them down I do feel like I do tend to see
That online now on Twitter and uh comments and stuff just chat GPT responses because it’s just so good on his death the crown would pass to Matilda’s son Henry being the long rule of dynasties in England the Anarchy occurred after Henry’s death so Henry’s alive in this he’s currently actively
The king but I think it would have made it a little bit easier more streamlined if Stefan de blur wasn’t like 70 now I don’t know when exactly he died so who should we support let me know in the comments who are the true rulers the plantagenets or the
Deur in this series I don’t really know do we go back and forth between the two I don’t even know cuz I kind of do want to play a little bit like Crusader Kings do we go with male preference primogenitor do we go with female and male preference through that line
I haven’t discovered just yet I think it’s easier to track male preference Premo genitor for example Henry’s now k um will be king if he has a son he’ll inherit if he has a daughter it will go to the brother but hey this is what monarchical Civil Wars are all
About bro even sometimes it’s like does the BR like they the brother always the brother of the King also wants to always challenge and I love English history but a good battle here we’ve defended Paris and I don’t even know where these French armies are coming from maybe it’s spawned oh so we’ve
Actually kid we’ve actually got him here 6,000 for the ransom well we Ransom if they’re going to accept will they they rejected and the French Prince is no more I wonder if he was a deur oh all righty the French after losing French Knights and soldiers in their
Thousands are they still open for peace as the King has lost the French Prince and air they are still outright refusing why for 9,000 I’m even paying you War compensation I guess we Chuck in orans we’re getting to the point where we’re so settlement and Castle bloated in France
That they some they just simply might take it Back I just don’t know if they’re going to accept we are done now I did read this comment as well instead of having just your family why don’t you accept commanders as they don’t join your family tree and are just Nobles no that’s not true in this as all family members uh all
Adoptions sorry all adopted people go into your family tree so that’s what I want to do so I making it a little bit harder family tree wise I guess that kind of balances with I’ve turned that units can’t attack without the commander I I I don’t mind that though
Like I’m sure there would be a military commander that would give consent for an army to move out without him well I be going back to Starfield anytime soon no I think I I I had a really good run with Starfield there was a good month where I played like 250
Hours or something insane it’s so much content I thought that game was going to be a lot bigger than what I thought it was I was expecting like even though I’ve played 250 hours and done everything I thought that’d be a game that I’d be playing for another 2 3
Months what about cyber Punk no I don’t think I’m going to play cyber punk I haven’t with the DLC I haven’t even played the base game but yeah I feel like I played Skyrim a lot more I feel like the quests weren’t as long I like
Starfield I enjoyed my time with it my king but after like a month of binging it’s sort of just I don’t know gone through one ear and then out the other okay so so far we don’t seem to have really any threat we’re just trying to restructure this a better
My it’s kind of hard though man my public order is so so so harsh all right so Gregory’s here you kind of want to move generals over to help with the public order issues but then there’s always a threat that they could well you know die Henry the usera
Now 31 still hanging in London your orders sire all righty so we have managed to stabilize the situation we got good public in Orleans there’s a minor rebellion in France as always they love to protest imper as well we’re going to try and move some spies
Around to get some line of sight so so Troys or TW tomorrow’s yes my Lord they own without question RS and they also another settlement up there all right well let’s end the turn and continue let’s see where those armies on the outskirts of Paris and or orans
Go looks like they’re marching back to their own territory interesting still very much excommunicated though the French but so far in defensive capabilities we managed to hold the tide martial law in Dublin build a small Church in Britany we can do that unfortunately we lost a diplomat to
The plague that’s unfortunate also I do think that they’ve balanced um Heretics and assassins as well that was always an annoying thing in Medieval 2 man stay inless steel is just like so much better than the base game of Medieval 2 like i’ I feel like I have
Played a lot of Medieval 2 over the last two years vanilla wise did a French campaign did an hre campaign I just forget like there’s so many annoying things like having a slower World more like balanced Medieval 2 experience this is so much better also I did put out a poll
Saying like which is the best medieval mod I meant within like the historical ones not like generally like a lot of the Rings and Game of Thrones mods are pretty much up there ready of course of course right bringing some more reinforcements over from England as we’re stabilizing
Now everything else is okay up here all righty so we’re 65 turns in the French still own clont uh that Army has actually moved to Gregory’s nearby to strike I could move my spy in as we have found found the French King cuz we might be able to attack and
Get rid of him then we might be a to sue for peace so hang on maybe we’ll sieg that oh we might actually be able to move in now like the Spy might be a to open the gates for us maybe maybe not no I guess it didn’t
Work even though he’s infiltrated in this sieg damn will we shall engage we shall Prevail in this Gregory hail my king plaget As You Wish Is Now sing s yes by your command yes oh that’s another thing as well I can’t remember his name I was going Jeffrey and
Gregory whatever his damn name is we’re 6 6 turns in we’re still very much at war with the English continuing the 100 Years War we’re currently under the reign of King Henry and Prince Stefan who’s now 68 he’s still he’s got the plague but he’s still doing all right
We’re currently besieging the French King and clont which if we do get rid of him I think potentially the French could get brought back into chrism doome they can be un excommunicated or whatever the word is for that so that means we might be able
To sue for peace because we did Kill the uh French prince in the last episode as well so only time will tell how this series develops we’re sort of coming to the end of this French War I they have continually refuted priest priest I read I was reading the quote there quickly peace
Um and I don’t know why they are just just so so reluctant maybe cuz we hold their Capital you would think that when a faction loses four full stacks and a prince and what three four territories and their Capital they would sue for piece cuz for all intensive purposes they’re just getting
Absolutely annihilated is the best word that comes mine but hey maybe that they think the situation is so so bad and terrible that they might want to fight all right so we this shouldn’t be too hard only a wooden Castle they’ve deployed some of their troops on the
Walls they are clustering a lot on the Gateway and Town Square so Ladd are in place WS we’re moving up and force of our good old Mr plantagenet Henry’s father is in place but so far family treewise defenses the battle is very much in our favor if we remain true and steadfast
Victory will be our we’re actually quite strong a lot of our family members have um lasting ages I don’t know if that’s a feature of this mod like what’s the average age surely it once they hit 50 there’s always a chance chance okay we’ve made our way up onto the walls of
Clont En the battle is very in our favor if we our men have done well and we’re starting to engage wait what is that unit bugged that’s biz there all right our forces are starting to push they’re going back to the Town Square as Jeffrey is commanding his forces well
Surprised he’s still alive to be honest we’re nearly getting up to the third generation our men are winning the battle man this Mod’s good especially for players like me that like to role play family treewise man how far we have come but it’s still very much a hotly debate the line of
Succession should we well there’s a couple of options now that the the family tree is growing do we go back and forth for example do we allow a plantagenet to be king and then a deur be Prince then a deur be king and then a plantag do we go back and forth like
That because we are still currently in a civil war technically we are getting some bad Buffs I think to stop that is we need all of aquatan and some of it is under Spanish Iberian control contr as they pushed over the Pyrenees but once we get rid of the
French King here today the man who Mastermind this entire War called for the attack of innocent English civilians in Normandy and in Gant the war will be over well hopefully our men are winning the battle if we continue like this we will smash the en all right tactically not overly too difficult my
God the king’s General’s bodyguard is charging out the battle is very much in our favor if we remain true and steadfast Victory will be ours yeah sometimes faction leaders and a um units can be really really good actually got a surprising amount of light men at Arms that they’re kind of
Holding okay it’s a little bit close half the enemy Force remains we progressed really well oh we got him nice yeah we progressed well on the walls and through the gate and now that we’re sort of fighting and slogging on through the narrow and winding streets of
Clal struggling to push but to be fair we’ve B we are fighting with a bit of um eny a ragged bag of units we’ve only got three infantry two of which have retreated and we’re just like trying to get archers in they shouldn’t be able to last too much
Longer with the French King now dead only but I’m curious to see how it changes things politically although there’s a leg rip roaring through Paris and some of the territories we were moving troops kind of spread it it hasn’t been too costly for us they must only have a handful of
Settlements yet left they might start spawning full Stacks potentially that tends to happen in this mod if they get down to their last cent we continue like this we will but man what a costly War for the French although we’ve lost three four Stacks we’ve probably lost at least a
Good two of our own thankfully we were man built up I can’t imagine if they attacked when we weren’t going around Conquering the rebel and unaligned Northern French territory yeah if we were in Scotland and Ireland we probably would have lost all of our European territories and to be fair if they were
Able to win those first two initial battles we probably would have had to fully Retreat back To England so although England’s really really strong because it’s hard for them to like any faction to cross the channel and threaten you once you’ve got the entirety of the UK under your control just holding territory on the continent can be uh difficult oh so they’ve been reconciled so that’s the
Terminology un unex communicated okay so now that there’s a new regime in France there’s a new head of state let’s negotiate with the French and see if they’re interested in peace but our rating with the Pope is down quite a bit oh wait what the Holy Roman Empire holds a piece of territory
Down there without that’s bizarre your majesty in southern France okay so they still have twah Ru and that Army sitting in O just outside it not really doing too much uh still flooding units over where we can so this arm is going to okay they’re just like annoyingly sing which is just
Stopping trade and some Financial aspects what is you all right peace please uh do we give them like how about two settlements orans and clont I don’t know the thing is trade benefits both so sometimes they’re not interested maybe just like clemont and we’ll see what they say no are you
Serious especially with a new king bro well you got to give it to the French they always were stubble no we believe in the French Resistance even if you give us clemont or Y how about 5,000 for Claremont what are they going to say now I think also the more you negotiate it
Kind of annoys them welp all right well let’s continue to push against them in these last three ter that’s a rebel territory there um oh well so be it we’re currently recruiting in a lot of areas now as we’re starting to stabilize these external regions that I
Didn’t even want man there was so many times that I was happy for peace now that we’ve got the money we got heaps of money coming in cuz we’ve essentially taken so much territory we can start not only recruiting units to help out the garrisons in the French territory that
We’ve recently occupied but also in England to ferry over now we’re going to move Jeffrey out of clemont to twah and because it’s so far north and in range of par and or Le we’re going to be able to move units over to help
Out got a lot of priests in the area as well thankfully most of it is Catholic controlled I think it was the well we had a little bit of religious difference and conversion difficulties mostly in Wales and Ireland I’m kind of thankful as well that Ireland nor Wales
When we were fully focusing on that Scottish War weren’t taken by Portugal or Spain I think they must have got rid of that bear with me just moving my units to to and then we’ll fight we only need to throw that back that Army threatening G but for at the
Moment I think we’re just fighting scraps at the moment which is good for me and we’ll play one more battle here today but man this has been a absolute slug it’s been good it has literally been a decades long War not quite 100 years but it definitely feels like it it
Feels like it’s like it’s satisfying as it should have been even with the French not having realistically that much territory They Came Out Swinging they definitely had the numbers on us but man defensive sees particularly in Medieval 2 goed so so good but like I feel like even I think
It’s cuz just how hyper aggressive you have to be in vanilla like it’s pretty rare that you have defensive SE like you get put into a defensive situation in vanilla I think it’s cuz you just have to be so hyper aggressive and cuz it’s slowed down You’ like are naturally probably more
Predisposed to be hanging out in castles s yes my Lord in SSH but um the mod team has really outdone themselves I feel like this is an old mod but I think might have been after 2020 that they started reworking on it again because there’s been some updates over the last two
Years this battle belongs to England all right so back up in the north we’ got some additional reinforcements coming on over from England and Stefan deur I don’t know what’s more annoying to you guys is it me saying it wrong or Bullis or is it the fact that
Now that I know that it’s right I’m going the BL Ste the BL oh God I have issues right oh you’re only figuring that out now Christ hey I’m having fun hope you guys are as well all right let’s get cracker lacking um we’ll wait for our reinforcements to come in we don’t
Need to like push against them until we rally up but yeah no it’s good it’s good to be sitting down every single day and playing medieval too it’s just so satisfying this mod what the hell yeah I can just sort of already foresee some campaign I love to do play the
Byzantines recreate the Holy Roman Empire dude cuz like the Turks are one of the strongest factions in medieval I’m assuming in this as well we could even unite all of Spain do the conquista get the kingdom of us Castile and Leon uh we I think I don’t know if I
Want to play as the Holy Roman Empire I think that be too easy seeings how like half the territory of France had heaps I don’t know maybe I feel like Denmark might be too difficult going against the hre I think nor Norway actually might be fun but as essentially
Oh is it Prime no what is this 10 no this is 11 so so this is like well past the Viking golden AJ so maybe trying to restore Ragnar Brook ragnaud Brook his dynasty Dynasty his um Legacy yeah cuz uh you forget that Rollo Ragnar’s
Brother is um I saw one of those memes obviously R created Normandy and then William the Conqueror he’s I think it was his great great-grandfather I believe I don’t know specifically but it was one of his grandfathers William the conqueror’s um grandfathers was R but it’s like and then eventually
Obviously that dnasty and dynastic line leads to Queen Elizabeth I saw some like shitty cringe V that was like oh my God roll from Vikings is Queen Elizabeth’s grandfather it’s like oh okay I don’t know if that’s exactly true man they take so many liberties with that Viking show God
Man early Vikings was so good I actually think overall the last kingdom was probably more enjoyable men are winning the batt I don’t think I’ve seen the movie though it’s we that Netflix did like a movie The Enemy Force Remains the enemy although we’ve lost two units here and they’re retreating
Because we’ve got a general with Baldwin de blur cool name dud actually cool portrait cool name Chad the enemy nice let’s just try and run down as many of them as we can two solid victories just sort of slowly W winding down the high stakes and essentially High casualties of the
Offensives earlier in the wall there still could be a full stack spawned out of nowhere so it’s it’s still you still have to be on your toes the um Johnny on the spot but I can’t see the French coming back from this one okay we should be a to grind them through
Here we are fighting a French King though so they will get some more Buffs as a faction leader compared to our princeling Stephan de blur is essentially for large portions of this campaign has been The Unofficial King historically yeah in this not so much okay some of our units are retreating
But so are a lot of those our men are winning the battle if we continue like this we will smash are we about to reconcile them again it’s hard though the thing is we get rid of them which is nice they faction air and Kings but then it reconciles
Them damn I didn’t really comment on it before but in the last episode we had that Crusade end out of nowhere that was disappointing well it would have been more disappointing if I actually went all the way to the Levant just to get turned back I’m assuming it was like the
Byzantines or the kingdom of J well maybe someone else took it from them if it was the kingdom of Jerusalem we would have known nice enemy generals falling all over the place and now we’ve on a pretty good field battle here I was surprised they actually pushed for
This it’s so hard to just like put the final nail in these is a great Victory Catholic factions all right we did outnumber them pretty well Faith must trample Under Foot all reason sense and understanding Martin Luther King no the German Martin Luther okay so oh my God they fully just abandoned
G we might be oh hang on oh we got we destroyed the Gap are we going to be able to just March into raw or not maybe uh New Era for France a new faction leader God this this number four five first code of arms the new fashion has been developed in
Latin Europe Nobles and knights have we not already had that all right back down in the aquatan region we are still trying to negotiate with um the Spanish God okay so 62% oh my God that’s annoying I’m just trying to okay we lost two spies and that we just
Want to try and get this war over and done with we’re like so so close to capitulating them they’ve only got like one settlement back left my king okay so let’s move you my king over here now replenish and repair ha my king uh all right you were in the
Forest so let’s move you to twah there’s even a plague there which is a little bit annoying yeah they surely only have like one settlement left I can’t imagine them coming back we’ve also got some money to spend to be honest oh my God still need to focus on recruitment at some point
But we are going to be able to afford more night as well which is really nice all right what is happening my Lord As You Wish frames are just dying there hang up just trying to move some more soldiers to the front will my king to battle
Okay oh I wonder if we can defeat them here in one F SW and Glory so they’ got another king yeah he’s he’s um oh I only just noticed that his General command is dropped by two he was a Five Star Commander huh oh now I wonder if our low commanding might have
Toe be due to uh oh I think I know what it is I think I just figured it out big brain I think that because King Henry is technically classed as a usurper I think at some point it said we get reduced command ability maybe that’s that’s why haven’t been able to grow
Like these crazy Chad looking generals but anyway it’s def the blur and I what’s a I guess it’s his cousin-in-law fors cuz his niece is married to yeah it’s the partner of his niece no it’ be his cousin cuz it’s on the different line not directly related but now that we’re starting to
Bring French Nobles into the fold through marriage alliances stealing them they’re going to be they’re going to be able to have intelligence intelligencia our French tactics and stuff oh my God just absolutely just Destroyed that enemy General okay now the real real brunt’s [Applause] coming we’ve had a couple open field battles now it’s interesting how the war and Battlefield conditions have sort of changed over the Decades of this war first of all it was like defensive sieges Galore with the initial attack
For the first couple years then after we pushed them back it turned into our counter offensive and offensive postering and actually you have to push and do the battle is very in our fa military offensives we’re just holding here we can try and flank now we sucking
Them in will be ours just get around them it’s the best way to make these units capitulate in this game try and completely surround them in envelopment for from all angles then we were taking castles and now we’re just sort of now cuz they don’t really have many castles we’re
Catching them either trying to push into our own territory or just like caught in the open field yeah we won this one yeah these poor French Kings field just can’t just can’t catch a break oh my God feel are bad for them because they probably are our relatives to some
Extent on both sides of the plantagenet and the blur line all right what’s still actively in here this one unit oh we actually killed another Prince oh maybe this should be the end of the faction actually will be by the uh the thing is if it’s as if their family trees is
Expensive as our is as is um expansive extensive whatever same difference there’s probably a fair few of them oh I am really reticent to execute oh they accept it oh okay sorry I will only you in b h that we could have actually done it then I I still
Just don’t want if we start executing people it’s going to be it’s going to be really really bad for the English Monarchy mying I think all right welcome to the top of the turn 15 provinces death still stalks the land in some areas a so there now
They want me to cease hostile actions that’s annoying yeah it’s just just this last settlement did they spawn that up there they literally only have one settlement left we just need to take so we’re going to have to stop and move back to G I’ll keep a watchful item I
Will need to move some Spies all right let’s move my Diplomat to the hre all right so we now border with the Holy Roman Empire we’re building up Lord in our newly conquered lands in FRS replenishing and repairing where we can although we have for all intensive
Purposes won the 100 Years War the French is still defiant we’re moving generals and Military assets to the borders to protect our territories I think some of the Inland territory like Paris Orleans Normandy maybe even o and Britany don’t need to be defended but clont and potier
Will need to have military units move to it and Generals so for example we don’t need to sit too deep there we got a front line but we’re at a point now that London the UK and pretty much our Royal Line is going to be perpetually secure
As we’ve got so many line front lines and fronts like if Henry ever gets threatened by an invasion of France they attacked me are they about to get EX Comm unated again they just given me another reason to go why are they still attacking they’ve got like no armies they’ve been absolutely
Decimated but they they’re still Valiant fighting you got to give it to them for the countless decades yeah anyway you can always like flee to Scotland if need be still haven’t had any threats on the um British Isles I thought maybe the Norwegians might Rock up they might
Be an event in the future uh no more martial law and clemont more children coming of age one building has finished being constructed couple walls breaking out there haven’t seen too many vassal ships uh moving my Diplomat we recruited one actually do you want peace now God
They’re just refusing I don’t know what to do I alth I know like not the best Diplomat some of them wor trying all righty so we have some generals here we can give out so let’s move you to nor I think we’ll sort by um region wealth I think that’s the best
Play once we’ve got at least everyone in a settlement governing we’ll move them about you actually get some really nice bonuses to leaving yes sir Generals in a province for a good amount of time you actually like you get an incentive instead of like constantly shifting them around cuz
They get like really good traits which is nice still don’t want peace man what is happening all right 74 turns in uh this is the zoomed out situation none of it’s in the blue all of it’s in the green and slight yellow here is the family tree
Stefan oh deur has turned 72 and unfortunately would you believe it the king’s firstborn son Henry is a bastard taking after his great grandfather or maybe his great great great grandfather now William the Conqueror everyone forgets that he was that so that’s going to complicate things I was talking about the line of
Succession um depending on the second born son it might actually pass to one of Henry’s Brothers potentially also we can probably start shifting and changing some of this territory to castles and stuff we just can’t push into this last piece of French territory because we are constantly being told to
Ceased hostilities so at the moment just trying to rid this plague do some construction replenish Miss repair and I don’t know if we’re ever going to be able to for all intensive purposes like fully destroy the French Kingdom as a faction um I would even like popet
Them from here if you could do that but I don’t know if that’s doable we shall see okay welcome to the top of the turn death still stalks the land Hubert of not oh priest okay I thought it was a general scared me oh look at this we have a suitable
Bride for Bridget deiville for the stabuli that’s a very Italian name I think we might have to accept this because yes so although she’s Prince Stefan de blur’s granddaughter she’s not an in why isn’t she a princess that we can control we we’ll accept that Harold he can go
Somewhere Thomas Becket murdered oh no oh riing peace for Thomas Becket I guess no martial law in some of these regions all right well oh no Reginald the farmer died in Bristol oh rip it probably would be Henry’s Second Son however he’s not of age so we can’t actually make him the
Next Heir we could go through the deur line but I think what I’m going to do is make King Henry’s brother the next in line now I think what this does is is that it gives it like a like I think there’s an underlying preference I wish the air
Crown was there it would make things so much easier having like an active anill that we could drag so inheritance privilege yes all may give a higher probability to be Cho chosen yes okay so that’s what we’re going to do so H I don’t know the
Thing is if he gets Whoever has the power and the crown like literally he could just take it the bastard Prince and legitimize himself if he gets coronated in the end but he seems all right it’s just unfortunate about his um Mar his uh Mother’s stasis uh we
Still at war with the French still dealing with them of course but uh yeah all righty 77 turns in it is 1170 a now the French issue we’re still at war with them they constantly refuse peace it is a part of our Victory conditions to destroy them but the pope
Is essentially running cover for them I don’t know if we’re ever going to be able to actively destroy them damn unless we can attack them within one turn because as soon as they go in in Siege this has like happened multiple times we just get told to wait five
Turns and not attack them so I will get Baldwin deur from Gand to go and Siege the settlement it’s their last settl the entire line is in here Jeffrey cap okay cool um and otherwise we’re slowly but surely building up the economies and basically consolidating our position in France so
What we might do here today is look to push further in the South maybe towards the Pyrenees against the Spanish that occupy those lands all right still sieging out the French I’m sure the pope is going to get involved shortly we’re nearly going to get to a point as well with more
Generals coming of age that we’re going to have a general in every single settlement that we occupy which would be fantastic so then we can have proper Governors but yeah still keeping a watchful eye on the Norwegians the Danes the Holy Roman Empire who have a lot of
Eastern France I’m actually kind of shocked how much this border stretches maybe that’s why the French was pushed back maybe they’ve had a a war or so against the H cuz a lot of Southern France in that sort of Lorraine stratsburg territory yeah another is under their control right another
Mission six turns damn that’s so annoying that it’s like constantly coming out I don’t know how we avoid it we got some rioting in Paris typical one thing about the French they know how to Riot so we’ll just move some military forces around we also have
To keep a large military presence on the border with the hre cuz I do ultimately fear an attack from them okay so we’re going to have to essentially withdraw from here which is annoying so lift The Siege we’ll move back and we’ll get Gerard a former French General now being
Brought into our family tree they’re going to live another day okay oh he’s actually had a daughter nice your actually you know what what I could do is there’s a really good Danish princess here oh my God she’s 10 heart cuz she is related
To the Danish King oh no hang on I don’t need to put an alliance in there hang on because if we do get it accepted nice we become allies oh wow so maybe if he is married Prince James with the Danish gal their sons can be legitimate through the Royal line of
Denmark as well okay so that means we can get a claim to the Danish Crown that’s quite cool dude yeah why wife has rights to the throne or a throne wife is wise domineering oh nice and she’s admirable that’s cool all right going to go around here now got some construction going and
Replenishment and repair retraining in France Walter’s in the South we want to eventually get a general on all those border Frontline towns for all intensive purposes France has been defeated they are a shadow of their former s now we do have a princess here Patrice plantagenet so I might try
And get her over here we might be able to go and oh we actually might be able to snag a cap yis cap oh was it Jeffrey H that could be interesting cuz then he he’s not obviously the faction leader or Heir might be one of his brothers interesting cuz what we could
Do is be like hey we’ll tempt you cuz you’re never going to hold the crown and be king of France well whatever France is now they declined anyway a one settlement faction how about you be the governor and mayor of Paris how does that sound else is good
So could we somehow get the hre to no they’re not interested that’s a shame suitable husband for Sophia deur Alfred of North Umbria he’s 47 that’s a cool name that’s not any princess here they’re more valuable uh okay I think I’ll accept that and we’ll try and move Alfred to
Roughly where his namesake is yeah Alf you can go to York the guy with the north umland North Umbria last name wonder if he’s a descendant of UTD of beur maybe or his line that is threat oh is again back down in Morocco for some reason it’s the same place we targeted last
Time I don’t know why Nicholas glenham glenum we’re going to decline that cuz she’s way more valuable the king’s second born daughter Patrice yep she’s legitimate we can probably send her to try and entice one of these capay so that one’s 30% Jeffrey seems more he’s 17 Three Star Command is
It cuz he’s younger I am ready to approach there’s other generals here that we could look to grab but I don’t think we’ll grab those shall I he’s 15 I could not refuse your da he’s older yeah let’s go with Jeffrey capay and see if
This works who we did it oh no um that’s not possible that’s oh he’s got no movement yikes well that worked though we’ve actually got a capay 17 years of age I wonder if he’s a descendant of Louis more than likely I would love to I
I wish like in Crusader Kings you could see um family trees in medieval too that would be so cool um Oliver of North umland he’s already had a kid so I guess we’re going to have to send Prince James down south yes and we’ll move the Army can’t do it to cap that’s
Now hopefully we don’t get attacked from here I think we should be okay a little bit risky Maring him into the um Royal Line and trusting him basically giving him the entire Army of Gan will they attack me they’re going to move out I think we’re okay
No the HRI are moving an army to utre yeah I wonder if we bugged things now because we called that Crusader so early on I wonder to be fair I don’t think Jerusalem has fallen in this series there was a province just north of Damascus kind of east of Antioch wherever it was
Um Reginald Manny 45 sure some of these guys are super old but they’re only need the blur so it’s fine The Crusade crowd grows and two small chapels are being constructed cuz we do want to try it I haven’t really been focusing on it in this series but
In vanilla Medieval 2 you can really play the paper game make sure you’re getting high ranking Bishops and stuff yeah we still have been told to cease hostilities so we’ll probably I think we’ll move the Army back into here and yeah deur can be fine so we’ll
Get these guys to go um we’ll move Gregory of Kent yeah I wanted him to go back to Norwich didn’t why is he not so happy well Jeffrey Cape is now in par and should be the new governor and we’ll move Manny to here on the border all righty 82 turns in things
Have really started to slow down and yeah I I I just can’t foresee what is it could Poss offer us us completely destroying the French maybe that was it will be the last thing on our Victory conditions cuz I just don’t want to get excommunicated like I
Could accept it but then all of chrome can potentially attack me I think we need to Now look for external enemies um whether or not that’s well it’s not the Danes now cuz we have an alliance maybe the Norwegians the hre uh maybe some of the Spanish Catholic
Factions we’re not going to be able to ultimately destroy them but they still hold some of that territory across the Pyrenees and he is still technically Henry the usurper as he hasn’t taken that core aquatan territory cuz back down in the South here for some reason the kingdom of
Castill Leon has Bordeaux so we need to take that so we’re going to make plans and preparations to do so also Prince James is going to head south he has to go so hopefully we can legitimize his rign so here is Prince James 18 years of
Age he looks pretty good um Jeffrey cap needs to have some children and the King’s second born son should come of age a lot of plantagenets as well and then there’s the de blur line I’d like to get a lot of these guys married off
If we can but only time will tell Oliver of North umland interesting so we will need to keep a strong military presence On the Border but we are going to divert two armies to go south we are having a little bit of public order issues in France but
Hopefully as time goes on it won’t be too long so we’ve assembled a full stack here of our finest and we’re going to get Prince James to join the Crusade officially I don’t know if he’s going to be able to get down to the Moors territory but we’ll see how we go
I think I got so who took it last time yes oh it actually might have been the French funly enough oh no they did I think they did have this settlement are you joking sir it’s like Barcelona whatever anyway uh Walter deur I think we’re going to go against Rodrigo
Decastro pretty decent Commander we shall slaughter them let’s declare war and move into bul okay and we not are at war with the kingdom of Castile now they are it’s actually cut off bordo I guess it was Rebel but pona here and too are currently under the
Control of Aragon the hre still refuse an alliance which is concerning especially us annoying them so much I do kind of fear a war with them I don’t know how well we would go all right welcome to the top of the Turn The Siege equipment has been built Latin transl
Translations okay The Siege equipment is being built and we are ready to go into bordo Manny oh Hugh deur is now of age he’s now 14 are some of the the Baldwin portrait and the Hue portrait here are these actually medieval one portraits I haven’t seen them before archal
Plantagen is now of age that must be the king’s second born son now is he legitimate so Hugh de blur so the de blur line okay yeah he is legitimate interesting he’s going to have a lot of seats in Paris what did I say I wanted them to be wardens didn’t I
Essentially but we’ll make the cap the mayor of Paris essentially we don’t want to give him too much power okay so now we’re in Crusade mode oh actually you know what oh dude the range is insane well maybe we’ll quickly get the prince to divert to bordo nice perfect
Perfect 5,000 Englishmen just under descend against Rodrigo decastro who is a six-star commandery k them all right so War has now broken out with the kingdom of castill so I wonder if we can take this settlement the pope hasn’t called for peace which is nice of him will he do it
Soon though okay thanks thankfully bordo isn’t a castle it’s just a city a port city an absolute pain of a city to take in Rome two in Medieval 2 it’s not going to be as hard now thankfully there’s a buffer Nation between us so there might be a less likelihood of
Attack but you wouldn’t out rule it the only issue now declaring war upon them is if we somehow get intercepted as we move South heading to towards the Crusade Target I still think there’s a chance that crusading armies can get attacked but there’s a big butt they might be
Protected all right here we go first time facing the Spanish first time facing the kingdom of Castile now if the pope maybe excommunicates them or allows us to conquer territory we could actually make an offensive into Northern Spain that could be it’s not logistically too far away but we’ll
See when you play England Ladd are now going in and supporting Portugal for theor and force of our arms against the Spanish tends to work out quite often in medieval too um or even going into Iberia and going against the Moors we could even just focus on them help them out in their
Reconquista I have no ill will against the Spain the Spanish it’s just how the cookie crumbles I guess like they shouldn’t have taken B wo it’s interesting that it’s a part of my key and core Victory conditions cuz it’s that old aquatan territory but so far under the reign of
King Henry our second king is the usurper is an absolute Chad Victory will be ours okay they’ve moved out some units there stop the battering ram so we’ll just try and close the distance and go now unfortunately the reinforcing Army doesn’t have any Siege equipment itself so we
Need to try and push in and clear a gap now they will have a crusading army bonus I think they get additional morale reduced UPC but they’re going to get that small little bit of battle experience in chevrons before they go for the main core more
Target yeah maybe we can try and take some of that Coastal territory but we are being a little bit hamstrung in now territory in France cuz we have to keep such a large military presence on that border with France today we’ve captured the enemy like the little France
Enclave surrounded by us in the H I don’t even think they have access to a port all right just want to make sure we break through a couple of these units although we’re still attacking them just to give us some more space the enemy once those reinforcements come in men it’s just so
Annoying especially when they one settlement they just still refuse peace we also might get to a stage where the front lines in France are sort of stabilizing so we can be a little bit particular and in where we put our castles and cities having cities and settlements on the coast is really good
For trade you obviously want your castles on the front lines and you can also sort of make like recruitment hubs if you’ve got like a cluster of castles for example I think that cluster between Norwich Lincoln and York although they’re probably never going to get probably never going to get
Attacked being able to quickly recruit in one go move them from then London to over to Normandy like we can like rapidly recruit and push okay unfortunately some of my infantry here is capitulating I do know that we’re facing a really really really good General at the end of the day I’m
Surprised two units of armored sergeants I get the weakest bearman some of them now have gold and Sh silver plating so you would have seen as they were charging on in they do look slightly different now which is really nice as we’ve captured some really strong castles in France and cuz we’re not
Actively fighting on multiple fronts we’ve got units that can actually be properly replenished and retrained in castles dude all my infantry is just capitulated here yikes we got number them nearly 8 to 10 to one what is happening my St George our men have slain the enemy okay we’ve initiated the
Countdown not too much longer now are exhausted what the H come on damn it push this is a clear victory that goes to only men of great virtue and Valor nice all right let’s end that one there all right so Bordeaux is now officially is the F of back under anglish
Occupation terrible relations the pontiff hates me of War so we’ve hit 20 regions now we’ve gotten rid of Scotland France is still on the table 774 turns in interesting what are we 83 in have there’s a turn limit I would be interested in peace if I could actually that’s their Capital
There all righty so we’ve successfully taken Bordeaux and now we’ll move my spy to pona here an order what’s the best way to get down there so you can go past Zaragoza we go no further today cuz we’re still technically on Crusade nice well Walter deur
21 can now govern the region now I think I might switch Bordeaux to a fort and then eventually we can make potier um settlements because I don’t I I do think having a castle just over the Pyrenees is probably not a bad idea same with to loose I could make clar more
Um a castle as well just depends on money maybe I’ll divert Prince James’s for and maybe we can go for the capital unfortunately we can’t go for palona or Zaragoza as that’s currently under the control of Aragon so how close can we get here can we
Siege oh wait is it why is it blocking us yes my Lord is that because it’s a non- crusade Target possible Lord maybe are you a little bit strange whatever but it does look like the kingdom of Castile and Leon and some other in forces are probably just going
To bring Barcelona back under Chrome control which is interesting we caught a crusade there very early on in the campaign I think the French had it and then lost it so it’s understandable all right so back in France we’ve basically pushed them to a one settlement faction they are the
Exiles of France pretty much we got a bunch of money in the bank here now so what we’re going to do is spend some of it I want to convert some of the castles now in the interior of France which are not on a front line to settlements and
Some of these border territories can become castles we don’t need orans to be a castle oh wait King Magnus interesting uh twah can be a castle ra could be probably um maybe a castle we have uh Jeffrey cape in par he is the governor we’re still under the reign of King Henry oh
Speaking of King Henry well his father um someone in the comments said oh I love this I read a comment that someone like oh I love this time period I love the Dynasty and stuff um actually simy did you know that Robert of Gloucester was King Henry’s illegitimate son and I
I was like oh seriously Robert of gler the absolute Chad in this series um who went and took Wales fought against the Welsh and we essentially made him The Unofficial Prince of Wales I guess it was quite fitting I think he was actually the oldest biological son
Of Henry as well I did a little bit of look up of it so I guess it was quite fitting it’s a shame he couldn’t marry into a family tree and well marry one of his cousins I guess arals of age now but uh things looking good in England okay so I
Reckon that it’s going to be taken this turn once we end it cuz there’s nothing in there we could potentially go against the Moors as well that’s an option so my spy now moving going through the end turn here now and let’s see who takes it I reckon peas is going
To grab it oh the hre is now rocked up yeah we’re always just too late with our Crusades which is rather unfortunate but we’re still going towards that 40 regions okay for whatever reason they’ve decided to block Bristol nice um yep so Valencia it’s been re oh wait
I said Barcelona is it called Valencia interesting couple new family members Owen of Cornwall has come of age nice well let’s get him to Bristol as his father I think he was the record for the governor being the longest yeah Reginal the farmer he had like I think he was there
For like 40 years I think we had him there since like the start of the campaign he has two children married into the deur line so they have a loose claimant but he’s going to sit there for probably his whole life okay so we did make the right play
And not swinging James down there uh let’s go against the kingdom of Castile Leon and they have moved an army back but Prince Daman is in there okay so if we can win this one we might be able to crush the Garrison inside which would be fantastic so we got an open
Field battle as we strike at the heart of the kingdom of Castile elon’s Capital well we Prince James firstborn son he might earn uh legitimization I guess all right so let’s swing forward now crush this first Army and then the reinforcements and then we should be able to march into the capital and
Occupy it all right let’s go go go go go here’s our army it’s a pretty decent Army as well three units of professional Swordsmen now they might not sound impressive but they do cost a pretty penny 1,000 gold pieces per turn bunch of Norman Spears and even some of our lighter
Crappy like tier three Spearman that we’ve been using for the majority of the campaign they now have better quality armor bronze and silver up thanks to the blacksmiths I do love that system how you can visually change units on the battle map perfect so good all right so we’ll quickly
Charge lock a bunch of them down make sure at least roughly three four units on the flanks so we can pivot we’re going to need to try and win this quick fast and then we’re going to have to swing back around okay now because I thought we were going to have a
Siege we remain we don’t have hardly any archers or cavalry so this is a Siege designed Army it’s not going to Excel on the open field but I think it’ll do okay so one units engaged me there I sent four on the left flank just to provide some cover just in
Case those reinforcements just come like rapidly quick in so we’ve taken bordeau back VI George we’ve captured the enemy’s General that’ll teach the Cowardly Dog now we might be able to take the capital all right we killed their General that’s going to cause a huge morale debuff for
Them and basically their front line has capitulated and been crushed so we can swing around here and deal with the second wave all right we’ll get Prince John to just be a little bit more hyper aggressive because at the end of the day um it probably wouldn’t be a bad thing
If he gets knocked off cuz I still think that cuz he’s the air he’s still if once Henry dies he’s still probably going to be king okay swung to about 70 now ideally I would rather capture than kill the Spanish little prining our men are winning the battle if we
Continue like this we will smash the enemy cuz we can probably get a huge amount of money from the Spanish only half the enemy Force Remains the enemy Army them down dude Prince James the IL legitimate son is becoming a bit of a Chad married to a Danish princess as
Well his sons will have a future claim on dead Mark is that him gone now yep ladies and gentlemen we got him h well actually you know what we might actually have to get rid of him because we can’t allow any units to go back we can’t allow any units to go back
Into the castle I think we’ve we’ve managed to crush enough of the units just to be able to walk in if not we’re just going have to sieg oh no we didn’t capture him we just straight up knocked him off well it doesn’t matter then don’t have to um
I usually Ransom but we’re going to get rid of them because we want to try and move in oh damn it we didn’t get it oh well we’re going to be able to Siege them out and we’re going to be able to move on in it’s a massive
Castle there’s only like 50 dudes inside uh what’s over here this must be L yeah okay uh that Army could move against us but we’ll see uh Diplomat wise back up in the north still wanting to try and get peace uh okay rejected as always how about trade
Not interested I we’re going to continually harass them same with the hre for an alliance just rejected um well let’s move this spy away from Valencia doesn’t need to be there okay there’s a there’s a more settlement there which is quite close yeah I still think maybe doing a
Campaign against the MS is probably a sensible idea all right we’re getting more additional reinforcements now um what was yeah so my construction plan we had some small little buildings getting Generals in all of our French cities and now we got the money to build
Up we want to try and have full stacks on all the front lines and I’m just sort of getting my castles and settlement cohesion a little bit bit better because you want castles on the front lines to recruit troops and plug gaps castles a really good defense
But also you need to counterbalance that with money and being able to afford those units in those said Castle so Coastal settlements seem to be the play trade rights we did send our diplomats around oh damn it I don’t think there’s anyone else to really trade with um the pope wants us
To cease hostilities God damn it Mr Pope has been an absolute pain in my side um it’s nearly worth just being a have an assassin to get rid of the king if we need to our reputation is terrible right well that’s unfortunate okay so whoops bumped the
Bloody mic as we started off again um we need to break the siege so yes my Lord did you maybe we just try and get peace cuz we’re not going to be able to get out would they give me the settlement wait they only have Leon okay and
Santiago or maybe I’ll try and get trade in peace oh my God they accepted because we actually lost a decent amount of forces in that fight and they’ probably get rid of John so even I guess they didn’t know that we had to stop and we’re never going to
Take it and just go go away with the Pope but they were like yeah no you’re about to take our Capital well I think what I’ll do is I will divert our forces to try and take one of these settlements dude the Moos are still incredibly strong it’s been 86
Turns I feel like the Catholic factions in Spain are kind of throwing we could go down here towards Portugal maybe cuz it we’ve got we already down here right already takes like five six turns to come here so we might as well me just like continue to go I
Guess Prince James is getting some valuable experience cuz if not we might just head him to um to loose so maybe we go down here I want to try and take a settlement if I can because we wasted that time trying to get there cuz in the Crusade um hu de
Blur 15 he’s holding clont we’re currently faing more troops from potier and bordo now has a full stack so if the Spanish want to retake it they can’t and we’ll try and get that recruitment cuz eventually potier and will be um settlements again all right but we’re looking good
On this border here holding our position yeah same we shame we couldn’t take utre cuz I think that was a rebel territory and say with le as well uh let’s negotiate with the hre still continually wanting to try and get an alliance with them it’s off 4,000 no just rejected
Else military like we’ll give you a bunch of stuff I don’t know if I was to give them a settlement we could actually you know what if we could get a more settlement for your was or some settlement in like the thing is the brilliant thing with medieval too if you overextend and
There’s this settlement that you can’t really hold and you don’t really want and you want to draw people in the best way to force negoti iations in Medieval 2 this is just in vanilla and a lot of the mods replicate this giving settlements toint factions is worth so much oh my
God they finally accepted I’m in disbelief peace between France and England has finally happened is it cuz their armies have just like dissolved like they’re not there oh my God that’s it King Henry the usurper has a officially made peace with the French I think it’s cuz we just haven’t
Had any Bloodshed with them for quite some time there’s been no conflicts in a bid to get his father’s favor to be legitimized was going to try and earn renowned and experience in Spain he could be dead here as we’ve been attacked by the Moors we’ve been
Intercepted okay um I thought we might have a Siege or maybe another battle against the Spanish but I didn’t think we’re going to get intercepted by the Moos here yikes um okay so that’s what we’re dealing with first up here today all right this will be an episode starting now there pretty
Much wow I was expecting to sort of start and sort of recap what sort of happened over the the last couple of episodes but okay um my God it is winter it is foggy and I can’t see anything that doesn’t help this doesn’t seem very Spanish to
Me okay let’s set up um this Army has been through the ringer they were that’s also been tricked come on boys we’re going on on Crusade right let’s go Lads let’s get them at Valencia you get halfway down there right change your plans uh we’re going in to attack the
Spanish Capital wait what we didn’t sign up for this all right they successfully like kill they K they killed the Spanish prince it’s like we’re going to be able to take and plunder it then the pope no we got a we got a text from the
Pope no it’s not happening oh well we did so well my Lord right where we going now we got we’re going back home no we got to attack the Moors the moops oh no we’re under attack okay so switch on need to be a bit serious now uh this isn’t good I was
Expecting a Siege this Army is not built for fighting a fraction that is heavily Cavalry focused their light infantry like incredibly mobile and to top off like skirmisher Cavalry as well like we’ve got no Cavalry we’ve got no archers to kind of counter so what we’ll do is
We’ll Hill camp on this High ground and try and withstand against them the the visibility is quite low so we might be able to get some flanking Maneuvers but we’ll see but uh we did Retreat so it’s make or break with Prince James here he can’t flee is that some Roman ruins
There we not going to be oh excuse me we’re not going to be able to flee so he might be just well dead and that will solve solve our legitimacy issue oh we’re not favor to win this one um also on my not bad here I do tend
To read and write out comments to talk about in episodes um DJ km like this is just sort of we’re holding at the moment we’re fine uh he said your king is Young let him do some fighting a bit don’t keep him in the castle his whole life
Now I would normally agree if with vanilla medieval too with that comment cuz you should be actively fighting cuz then you can get really good command which will eventually make your sons really good but in this g game uh keeping him in the castle is actually a quite sensible move because it will
Allow him to get better traits and his sons to accumulate and you actually get like really good bonuses for keeping generals and kings in settlements also he’s not the most like best naturally Commander funnily enough his illegitimate son here Prince James has gotten to fourar now and I do think
It’s kind of sensible and realistic for the king to sit back in in London and dictate where to go oh we’ve managed to take out the enemy General nice are wining the and the beautiful thing about this is oh ear a full Retreat oh my God that was so quick that they
Capitulated um we’re going to be able to run them down and the pope won’t really care so as we’re doing now we’re using the prince’s Sun so hopefully oh now it’s cleared up oh perfect nice Clear Vision so we can come and run them down right well now that we’ve done that
We should be able to push towards some moish settlements eh still working towards that 40 settlement Victory condition which is quite a bit I think if we were playing a short campaign we’ve probably ought to already hit our Victory conditions we technically haven’t finish finished off France I
Didn’t realize how hard it is to completely destroy an an annihilate a faction we must have lucked out with the Scots cuz I think now now thinking about it when they were on their last legs in their last settlement what we did is that we sent a spy into their settlement
And that’s how we went in we went in via the Spy not using Siege equipment so I think that’s how we were able to destroy Scotland so a similar thing we need happen in France but it’s whatever we’ve actually taken a lot of those French generals and even some of
The Royal Line and have brought them in to the family tree which is really really cool but what I might do if we get like 39 settlements we might just cop the ex communication that’s the thing is as well if we’re playing on the easy if you’re playing on like easy or normal
You probably could be fine with getting excommunicated and if you’re constantly going with going through Kings you can get reconciled but because we’ve only had what two kings in 80 turns or so yeah must be that that’s actually quite low L of a hit right you’re not like con we’re not constantly surrounded
By enemies and fight and and losing generals man what a heroic Victory here bro Prince James absolute Chad seems like he’s if he keeps the air status he’s still probably going to be our next king if he survives right oh my God this is so hostile um I actually don’t know if
We’re even strong enough now to push for a settlement all right welcome to the top of the turn an earthquake in Sicily oh yikes oh John Matthew deur and we had a another person come of age interesting a plantagenet nice so we can probably move them
To uh France cuz I think there’s only there’s only going to be a handful of settlements that don’t have a general in them which is really nice it’s only taken 87 turns for that to be so all right let’s move back oh no so 87 turns in um I think we’ve sort
Of EX we’ve basically worked this Army to the Bone um we do have a peace and trade agreement with the Spanish but Prince James is gone back to the capital for round two spies wise let’s sort them out so what are they so okay there’s a decent cluster of settlements there uh
Maybe we were better off to try and push for some of those Fringe territories yeah I’ll try getting back to bordo but I think we make plans to essentially mobilize some of these forces to probably go south maybe we declare war upon Aragon I don’t know
But at the moment clemont twah RS well uh clemont has a full stack and same with Gand but Rees and twah have half stacks cuz we have to commit those forces down to Spain so we I feel like we kind of lost we had to go south
Because the of the Crusade we didn’t have a choice but just cuz of how things panned out I guess we managed to sack that Spanish Camp um we did kind of put them in their place a bit took Balo K killed the King’s son don’t mess with the
English so um yeah taking a lot of their territory was probably never on the cards um yeah Owen was going to my Lord uh Bristol wasn’t he we got a couple generals here so now we’re getting to the point that we’re nearly full up uh you’re getting you’re gray I was like
How old are you generals once you hit 50 if you put him in a settlement and stop moving them around constantly depending on like sickness traits and stuff they can last a lot longer I think we have one guy Stephan the blur got to 73 actual Boomer all right everything is looking
Good looking nice up in here took us a while I feel like it’s taken us 40 turns to properly stabilize with the public order we’re constructing we’re building up we’re holding we’re we’re yeah it’s taken a while which is I don’t know is it I don’t know how many years is turns in
This is it four turns a year yes sir could be I I think that makes sense all right things looking good all right back down in Iberia I just hope that um the Spanish don’t ultimately intercept us that’ll be kind of cringe so we’ll see if they or anyone
Else reacts during the end turn oh you’ve got to be joking we must Prevail how far out man the Holy Roman Empire has declared war upon me in a surprise attack I have been asking these guys for like the last two episodes for an alliance is it because we got half
Stacks there oh God damn it Sher um oh Chum he looks all right oh my God we even got that Army still down there it just annoys me because we haven’t fought an offensive war in quite some time we got surprised attack against the French allies and now
We’ve been surprised attacked by the H um hang on is it a rogue Commander oh dude they are massive okay um maybe oh God I I’m trying there’s so many bloody units blocking it’s tough where’s my best Diplomat we’ll get him cuz he’s like
56 hey um can you give me peace please I doubt time your orders to I’m surprised they attacked then I wonder what triggered that can’t spy there not when we were at war with three factions France the more there was a state there was a there must
Have been a stage when we were at war with Spain the wars and them God damn it um I guess it can give us an opportunity to push into some of that territory but although it’s not like in the red because of this difficulty we are
Still a little bit from perfect oh my God off from um s we need to fall back and regroup getting like perfect green public order God he nearly died there the king’s nephew got caught out nearly captured by some French Bandits I was trying to get him to
Poer uh Matthew can go here so who’s here Gerard one of the generals we sniped in the 100 Years War as if they’re not going after the hre um wow okay so defensive posture Lads I guess we’ll replicate the same tactique um we’ve got a lot of forces on that border but the
Holy Roman Empire probably economically stronger than us and army wise so I guess we just try and hold and defend and see how they ultimately react so the first Army doesn’t seem too strong they do have a settlement in utr so they could yeah they could attack
Gand um just going around here um are there any spare forces that we can maybe move to the front line that’s ideally what we want to do also a little bit low on cash though because we have so many generals okay so they do have di um so
That’s a French territory yeah cuz they always had like Mar they’ve got like three four of what you would consider French territory all right you might maybe the pope might even call for peace so let’s see what they do are they going to launch any more attacks okay they’ve moved another one into
Raw um that’s a full stack yikes wait what why is there a rebel Army there they’ve got two wait hang on did that seing Army Rebel impending debt great just what we need am on PL plantagenet was born um let’s continue to bolster some of this border territory God we are perpetually having
Bad public order in like Paris is it I don’t think it’s cuz of Gregory capay but we need to move everyone to this border territory because G or uh TW fall yes it’s not going to matter cuz Paris is going to fall ultimately um I want to keep capay there
But he he seems to make it worse for some reason I don’t know why You’ think it’d be realistic if a a Frenchman was well governing Paris maybe we just have to get those reinforcements that were recruited in England to Paris by your command will
Sir as you wishay in the already got it on a low tax ORD and if it riots there’s a chance that he could die maybe we just hang on can well actually you know what uh F Frederick magur he’s moving up oh God I forgot about Prince John he probably hasn’t heard the
News exhausted coming back oh my God he’s I don’t even know if we’re going to be able to get him out of here cuz we’re just perpetually trespassing he’s in such a bad State um I might be able to daisy chain some units bear with me cuz
We’re trying to stop this we want to get it to a least of blue in Paris so what I’ll do I don’t think potier is going to get attacked I I I feel like they’re not going to get past Cort or Bordeaux so I’ll empty the Garrison in orans but
Then move some of them further up for example there we go and yeah I can’t get any more from that recruitment Zone actually I might need to disband some of these units cuz we got a lot up here do we really need that many uh Edward’s been up there for quite
Some time so a full stack has invaded clemont yes my Lord TW and rs and we’ll try and super for peace wait what um I can’t believe they accepted why cuz the French were so relu it oh well we might have to look to go against someone else here today then
Yikes oh my God how did we avoid that they rejected the ceas fire for try but they accepted it in the end is it’s not it’s like we’ve boosted up forces we have moved some forces along but yeah maybe they thought the four full stack sitting there they couldn’t break through to be
Fair it went in the last episode when they did attack me and we threw them back they did only come with what four units of a non-general so maybe it was like uh a young hre upstart gen Captain not even a proper General came
In um right so what do I do now yeah it might not have had a the blessing of the emperor let’s say so they want me to take this episode all right well 90 turns in um still trying to stabilize control and manage this territory here
In France we have the next generation of children coming of age as Matthew deur is now 15 we’ve taken bordo oh yeah we got to get JN back that’s another thing to do um cuz he went on his failed Crusade hey well maybe we’ll try and we’re trying to just
Get him back to our territory that’s the thing um we need to loose at some point uh sort of the majority of what Eastern France is under HR control wow um that’s annoying do they can I try and make sure that doesn’t happen again okay rejected trade no not interested
Okay that could have been rather costly I still think we’re economically and production wise outmatched and outnumbered by the hre so thankfully that full scale War has has been averted and we can focus on bringing in this territory but at the moment we’ve got five full stacks on the
Border and we might look to strike somewhere else okay so Constance deur female princess ashwell’s 51 sha we’ll marry her off our family tree is growing we’re nearly going to get to the point where we’ve got a um General in every single settlement to govern which is really quite nice okay
Our finances aren’t the best Oliver of Cornwall has come of age he’s now in London but we need to make plans and preparations to go to war with someone um I could move him to ra and O um maybe Britany I don’t know but yeah I
I I I think we’re not ready for a full scale war against the hre trans s we are leaving the ship it’s unfortunate will that we didn’t have an Al well I don’t you I think technically because of Matilda we probably should have started off with an alliance with the
Hre but you don’t I guess it would be a little bit too overpowered all right let’s move you down to Britany because you can eventually go to Al and then I actually think we might have a general in every single settlement but um I do
Want to try and avoid war with the H I think we’re better off going against like Spain like the kingdom of Castile and Leon Morocco maybe even uh the kingdom of Aragon but we’ll see why you in Dublin you should be moved now it’s probably
Not a bad idea to make some castles on that border territory I do fear another attack we have managed to make Claremont and TW castles and we’re still trying to get uh Prince John back to Allied territory as we’re slowly but surely building up again what I really love about this mod
Is that there are times of peace and War so here today after that short little war basically after the huge conquest of France we need to replenish and repair massively Okay so we’ve got a council popping up here the king of Denmark is dead and the third Latin Council Gilbert plantagenet is now
14 so now that we have a General in every single settlement we can probably put our spare generals into the capitals of London and France potentially we then we can move them out oh the Republic of piser has been ex communicated interesting all right um oh is it because Valencia got retaken
By the Moors seriously huh move this is a brilliant spot to Spring a deadly trap okay so and so yeah we’re still trespassing it’s just hard to get past zag Goa yes my Lord we’re going to continually annoy the hre if we can dude they have so many settlements there the first tournament
By the end of the 12th century it was not just in war that a night could prove his chivalry but also in large dramatic contests known as tournaments nice okay I did quite like that um Ridley Scott movie The Last jeel I’d recommend it it’s a long movie
It was an interesting like edit like as a movie like editing Choice wise I actually kind of liked it what did you guys think of it I don’t know I love historical movies even some of the goofy ones they’re my jam approach Kingdom of Heaven Mah director cut bro so good all
Right so we’re only just on the outskirts of toose here um I think we let Jon go for that I think going after Aragon is probably the play if we can get too under our control that’d be a good idea and then we might try and get some of these youngsters
In all right so skipped a little bit ahead turn 96 we’ve mobilized On the Border here ready to go so Prince John has now come back after well controversially killing the Spanish Prince um had a battle against Morocco and I’ve sent down another Army to help out this is
Huur one of Baldwin’s Sons so we’re going to declare war upon the kingdom of Aragon to try and take to loose and if we don’t get told to stop we might be able to take Barcelona maybe he’s out of go we’ll see so we’ll attack this Army
Here clean auto resolve we’ll make sure to Ransom unfortunately it’s rejected and we’ll build the oh we can just get straight in no issue right weild some Siege now though yes s we can go right in at the Army rather said now to bring this Army down with Hue I did have
To make those um forces On the Border be a little bit weak I tried to mobilize basically everyone from all those full settlements instead of just taking half a stack from all so The Siege equipment is built and at the top of the turn we’ll play this Siege um Isabella deur
23 obtain a trade agreement with the hre we’ve been annoying them so I’d like to do that just want to check that she’s not a proper princess no if if she is she’s more valuable uh so let’s marry him off sea fairing Innovations nice uh new Mission oh
You’ve got to be kidding me man this Pope is driving me nuts oh this is annoying me so much I don’t want to get excommunicated I don’t really know what to do right I read some comments um apparently you guys were saying that we can Siege you out then you don’t get
Excommunicated from what I was reading in this mod you actually do even if you if I continually Siege these guys here right I’m going to get excommunicated so unfortunately I’m going to try and sue for piece and they’re annoyed trade only because of the Pope not interested all right so that’s
Unfortunate so we’re going to have to retreat um we could maybe potentially bait them into getting excommunicated then we can do whatever we want but we’ll move back but um damn this might be a bit of a scuffed episode here today we’ll try to get a battle but it’s not looking
Likely I’ve actually played for a bit I’ve actually already played for an hour just sort of managing but I do tend to chop down my episodes especially when we get into what part 15 of this series like especially with campaigns like Dei and SS hip like they’re so so long um
Quiet so you don’t need to see all the micro and stuff it can be quite heavy okay so um I still sort of fear a push from the hre I have like I said managed to move some of the forces away from the border here so we’re going to have half
A Stacks I I feel like if I do get attacked by full Stacks I’m probably more than um competent enough to we fight those we still got to keep a watchful eye on the French which are a one settlement faction but I am getting really sick of
This Pope um I could get excommunicated but I feel like we just get absolutely trashed on very hard very hard so what I’m going to do is I am going to mobilize an invasion Force we’re going to go against a faction that’s not going to get us excommunicated I’m going to
Set up an invasion Force we’re going to go and attack the Moors um we’re going to do our own Recon Kista and we’re going to try and bring as many stacks as we can so it’s going to take us a little bit of time to prepare but we’re coming for you
Mops all right so 98 turns in I’ve built up a navy and I’ve moved some young commanders ready to go some of the older ones can stay in France but I feel like any push against the hre now the French who are one settlement faction and and
The crown of Aragon is just going to basically halt us so I think the pope will really like us as Prince James will probably be our future king the illegitimate is mobilizing a Invasion Force at Bordeaux now interestingly enough 98 turns into this campaign the kingdom of Castille and
Leon Portugal and Aragon I think they’ve actually allowed the MS they’re not they haven’t just wiped them out they’ve actually allowed them to gain more territory so we’re going to send probably three-ish Stacks here and we’re going to go down and try and take as
Much territory as we can in Spain in the peninsula this is not even going to include like potentially North African territory that we can grab um yeah unfortunately there’s no more Rebel territory around around us we do have an alliance with Denmark uh we also probably can’t really go into Norway and
If we are to go into like Italy which is the closest place to us um using Southern Iberia is a springboard it’s probably not a bad idea so just moving down some units here to Bordeaux so now that we’re going to be going into um mostly non Catholic lands
It’s probably not a bad idea to bring all our Bishops down here cuz what is is 3% Catholic it will help us public orderwise to bring them down so they’re going to have to come down from London uh okay another marriage is gone off here yes my Lord okay I think we’re
Still technically at war with Aragon yes okay so now they’ve accepted do they want trade o no I’m not giving them 5,000 so that war which was like nine turns ago now they want peace and the H are still continually not interested in an alliance without news I should take to
The Kaiser so we’ll try and bring back the loot and plunder to build up the British ises oh it worked and um yes my Lord At Your Service France nice we finally hit that mission we really didn’t all right let’s move my spies down here to give us
Some line of sight yeah they have a lot of territory here I don’t know where I’m exactly going to strike um well there seems to be a good cluster here C tuba C about potentially Granada there’s like three settlements there that we could really NAB and control that’ be a nice
Spring board okay the time is nigh here we go operation English Reconquista is about to be underway we’re going to get some more ships to help those guys eventually so we’ got Prince James the illegitimate Walter The Afflicted and we’ve got Archer Bal plantagenet who Hugh deur Gilbert and Ellis plant AG so
A lot of young boys a lot of famous names looking to form their own kingdom in the South all right so there doesn’t seem to be too many military forces there not entirely sure why so we could land in gibralta but um only two are going to go
At the moment we got another coming but here are some of the sons so we’ve got archal which is pretty he probably should be first in line Ellis Gilbert um and then we’ve got Walter is Baldwin’s firstborn son oh the pope is dead 100 turns in now uh we’re going to
Have to elect a new pope oh this is going to complicate things we damn that’s annoying I would have liked to um oh did I oh I accidentally misclicked oh damn it uh was it an hre Pope I I I accidentally misclicked I was going to say um if we
Move our Bishops down here and they get a lot of experience we actually might be able to put our own Pope we haven’t had the option to vote on one of our own English popes which is a shame moving my spies here yeah okay so there’s three settlements there that’s under
Portuguese control and there’s like two on the coast I actually think it might be better off to strike actually actually land in ja and then go from there uh we also got some new Merchants as well Merchants actually seem to be not terrible in s ship when you got the money there’s so
Many things you should prioritize we’re only now just getting into the merchant game but we’re going to go here now uh I’ll keep an eye on those more settlements on the coast but if I can get all of Southern Iberia fully under our control what I could do is maybe sue for
Piece and then we launch an invasion into North Africa um oh yes we need to move ship back up to Ireland that’s what I was going to do cuz we had some generals there that are being wasted oh right so she can get married off so this is Gerard the Frenchman so
King Henry is now the wise he’s now 50 he’s officially not a usurper because we have all of the historic territory on the west coast of aqu aquatan which is really nice so we were getting some really bad um traits and public order stuff so Hubert Briggs will marry her
Off so that’s the king’s granddaughter sir okay 101 turns here now and The Invasion Force heading towards Iberia dude this was a crazy recording session here today I went from a fullscale war with the H had to prepare for that they cowed out which is good then we’re going to war with too
Now we’re going to war with the Moos so man this campaign has been wild and wacky oh this Fleet was meant to be going to Ireland but it’s actually better off going to get the uh priests I forgot so we should grab them and we are pretty close to doing this Invasion
Force we’re still one turn up oh we already made peace why would that happen spread the word in Border as it dropped a bit okay can I make peace with them now I already sorry I already have that can I get trade or anything they want so much
Money I can’t justify giving them that oh my God guys would you believe it I don’t think I actually recorded it but during the end turn the hre just attacked me so we’re going to deal with this marriage real quick but they sent another Invasion Force you got to be
Kidding me man yeah twah Reams have just been come under attack as soon as we’re like a turn or two like mobilizing this Invasion um they’ve come into attack which is incredibly infuriating ah so half a stack we should be okay to defend this but yeah we’ll try and negotiate a piece again’s
Forgiveness I don’t know if it’s going to seem likely so we’re going to have to deal with this situation in twah 10 turns ago the hre declared war upon me we decided to somehow sue for peace without losing anyone maybe the pope got involved after that I was planning to go against the
Kingdom of into to loose then the pope said no that’s not happening so I was like okay so at that point I’ve been frustrated with the constant of being told to hey stop taking out your fellow Christians because you’ll be excommunicated all that right okay so King Henry Furious
Decided to set up an invasion plan so three full Stacks have been sent down to Iberia so we’re basically a turn away from attacking them and would you believe it the hre is attacking so he’s going to try and win this one here today uh we are
Nearly outnumbered 2 to one jera diak the French Commander is going to be controlling this one fourstar command he’s going to send out I think this is one of his son-in-laws technically out um Gerard himself is actually the son-in-law of King Henry we managed to bring over a lot of French
Generals after the war after the 100 Years War which is for all intensive purposes over the kingdom of France does have one settlement left but we can’t put the final nail in the French coffin due to the pope now this is definitely winnable this battle particularly without a
General on their side so I’m just going to send my Cavalry out here to cycle charge the unit that’s on the battle Ram to try and stop it we might even be able to hit these swordsman here that are trying to get up on the ladders so we’ve got half of stacks on
All of our border territory cuz the thing is with this game like cuz recruitment cost with this mod in particular recruitment cost and upkeep is so expensive and you can’t really let your units sit in settlements and doing nothing nothing for too long so we basically had to withdraw
Probably three full Stacks from that H front line we still have a military presence in Bordeaux which is on the Pyrenees border technically but we have basically taken three full stacks off to focus on the Iberian campaign so hope we can be able to get a lot of Loot and
Treasure from down there and we can bring it back to France but this is massive here today uh we could lose the king son-in-law but he’s expanded at the end of the day he’s not one of the blood relatives although he’s married to the King’s Daughter he was
Brought in as one of the top French Generals in this new region of France that we control okay so now they’re surging towards the walls which we do get a bonus on fourstar Commander should be okay so we got four no five Skirmish units don’t have that many infantry which is unfortunate genius
Um this is not looking good we might need to try and buy our time on this one we haven’t sent gerod out just yet but we’ll send out this other General we just got to get him to start cycle charging oh you got to be kidding me we got him that is
Um very very good news cuz that might cause a route potential some of the crossbows are shaken so ideally if we can throw back these two forces that are attacking we might be able to try and S A Piece again but man this has been a tricky campaign definitely not
Easy but I don’t know did we make the right choice not wanting to expand our kingdom risk this attack we could lose some territory here and some generals but if we’re successful in this moish Conquest we might be able to essentially leverage those lands to defend the French ones but we’ll
See we still need 40 region which is quite a bit genius can us Paris which we have and we need Jerusalem and we need to get rid of France so probably the fr the French is probably the last thing we’ll do let need switch on here a little bit
Make sure although they’re routing make sure the Cavalry runs them down I think they’re bugged now actually what is happening the intervention by the almighty will a military genius can bring us this Lord have mercy we’ve lost of our men they’re not moving oh they are on the walls like one at a
Time what maybe they should be routing cuz they uh lost their General perhaps anyway right let me know in the comments feedback and suggestions for this series would really appreciate it oh here they go now they’re moving there that but I feel like I’ve will and truly
Sort of got the swing of things now milit genius can bring us Victory what is this part 16 have well and truly sunk my teeth into not just being back into stainless steel but which has been what eight years since I’ve played just sshp in general it’s a pretty good learning
Curve I’d recommend it if you haven’t jumped into it right we probably should move back from the walls here what the hell okay I think we’ve gotten lucky cuz it’s bugged why does this happen often in medieval too I think it does I can’t remember what does it
Though oh my God I’m definitely going to take that yikes cuz they might yeah we’re at number like 90 90 95% we might technically I think we get a draw if we win or maybe a win actually I don’t know well 57% we’ve lost to their 43 so we have done a
Decent chunk of them even though we outnumber them they sorry they outnumber us 3 to one had to move our other General in cuz he’s just exhausted right what I’ll do is hopefully this doesn’t move them oh but they might just move on themselves at some point going to move my crossbows
Up cuz we might be able to arc our crossbow bolts up and hit some of those units on the walls I have a feeling what it is is I’ve bugged the path finding somehow cuz essentially what I’ve done is not allowed that third point to come through the Gateway I’m surprised they haven’t
Reattached onto the battering ramp to be honest we did manage to get rid of their Captain early but a lot of them are still going to fight to The Bitter End so we got 153 in Spears basically only 20 in the rest of the Infantry so that’s not
Good okay so my crossbows now are starting to fire now the only risk of doing this obviously is that we’ve got them in a good position here they’re bugged and they’re not moving the thing would be to um let them stay there but if we can get some valuable
Hit points off we might be all right but at the end of the day look if we lose clar mold isn’t that bad we’ve managed to create we’ve basically been able to destroy France’s ability from ever attacking London and we’ve created a four five settlement buffer zone between the capital would I
Seed some of that Coastal uh not Coast uh some of that border territory to Germany for peace Maybe they are a bigger enemy they’re a vast Kingdom well they already have marai I think they even have Diel and a couple of others okay now they’re moving are they coming down maybe yeah they
Are Yik is alert let’s move back if we can oh no they split God damn it something changes in the course of battle for defeat seems certain still pack a little bit of punch wow I’m surprised how they instantly just routed that unit okay I still think this is chees hang
On wait did that unit push get routed oh no here they come we’ll move up a bit and try and just annoyingly Skirmish them move back here we’ve currently got those archers and a couple of others there’s a unit there of 56 archers they’ve drawn their swords ready to go
Make sure we’re in the Town Square so we can fight to the death we still have Gerard deak he can cycle charge if he needs to and he will oh wow we just simply charge if they’re going to come one at a time like that we might even be able to just play
For time honestly just don’t want to allow him to get caught there too much we got the Gateway back under our control okay go into those crossbow men nice get this unit now another crossbowman nice what’s still in oh it’s that cluster around that Siege towered I was like oh we just crushed
All those guys on the ladders spe well let’s make sure we run down those units that are fling we won’t actually attack that blob until the last little bit because I think yet we’re going to end in a um draw or potentially a win if we keep this up
Dude Gerard and his uh future descendants could definitely make a claim to the kingship at the moment we do have a little bit of a succession issue I’m surprised that um it looks like the next king will be illegitimate but King James Prince James is uh becoming a bit of a
Chad 100 turns only have had what two Kings in this series yeah we had two Henry’s and we’re still currently in the reign of one okay some some units are retreating now bro this is an absolute nailbiter ideally what we want to do is just try
And smash a bunch of their armies so then we can see of peace and force them into submission so I’ve just moved my crossbows out here if we if you can hit those units and then we’ll charge in which right he’s only got 13 though I am a little bit reluctant with
My generals cuz Medieval 2 Cavalry is amazing especially on vanilla but I feel like in stainless steel and in sshp they can be a little bit more more vulnerable is the word just a bit squishy than their vanilla counterparts okay so we got a minute
Remaining so we’re not going to be a to outright win I hope I’m right I should be we’re the we’re defending so it’s either going to end in a draw or a win I don’t know how it calculates it okay clear Victory 744 we we’ve got 320 remaining they’ve only got 600
Nice okay we’re going to be able to throw them back now obviously we just want to try and get rid of them but we’re going to Ransom them and do the right Christian thing okay now they’re going to attack Us in the north so we defended twah and
And now Reginald Manny has to deal with another Army another Captain which is interesting we have slightly more men here only outnumbered by 100 and looking at the Army comp as well it’s slightly better uh less archers more infantry though all right so we’ll play this one against Captain Manfred Reginald marry
A random prining brought inory a and I wonder if um the hre is going to think twice we also might need to move some units from the borders the Border territories in the Far West in France that are just helping out with public order all right we might need to get
Reginal to charge out to be honest we do have 11 units making sure sure that Ram didn’t attack the Gateway really worked damn a shame it’s the same castle we’re defending but this is massive hopefully we can push them back for another 10 turns of Peace but we’ll see how we go
It was literally like 10 turns as well they attacked us when they were probably going to receive like no hostile activities for doing so we’ll see at the top of the turn if the pope is going to ask them for peace but I know I feel like he’s a bit biased against us
In the Kingdom of angland and now we got to focus on two France we’ve got this war brewing with the Holy Roman Empire not so holy or not so Roman at the end of the day and we’re drawing up Invasion plans for southern Iberia okay so we go with the same plan
Again oh thankfully perfect perfect unit of crossbows on the ram we should take very minimal if any casualties controlling it nice let’s get my Cavalry to try and pick off and pick apart pick pick apart some of their weaker units and then hopefully my units can
Hold on the walls they should be able to hold a lot better compared to the last fight 4,000 Germans come in our enemad a couple more going to come out Tower weel them no those javel are actually doing a bit of damage jeez this need to stop them I do feel like I
Notice how the units react and go about without a commander like we were facing a moris general who was quite good um even the kingdom of CAS Leon’s Prince when uh Prince James for him he was doing better yeah you can definitely see that the um AI performs differently without a
Captain like the morale impact and hit on some of this stuff is so different okay they’re up on the walls now I feel a little bit more confident to hold than we did before but not having archers is a problem okay so we got these guys on the Gateway
Just in case I don’t think they’re going to be able to run a unit over and open it up but we’ll see okay so it’s about 80% in their favor still so I feel a little bit more confident because we have like 500 more troops since the last
Battle but if we can win two glorious victories against the hre first the first war no one exchanged changed casualties this time around if we can destroy two full Stacks that might soften their Invasion okay couple units engaged in Fierce Close Quarter fighting Shields swords and axes getting
Clashed and split apart all right we’ve pushed them off on the right hand side of the wall there superb might need to move my general out to try and run them down still think the balance of power hasn’t overly too changed but we just want to make sure
They do not recover only intervention by the almighty military genius can bring whatsoever okay it’s just this left hand side now oh nice we won oh my God we actually might win this one out right compared to just winning about the timer before Oh my God these battles were
Intense didn’t have a battle in the last episode then we had two close ones all right let’s end that one there also um I was reading some comments as well I feel like for some reason the mods are being a little bit stable now we did have some annoying crashes earlier um
But I do feel like recording sofware slobs is an issue and same with recording stuff like audacity oh they actually rejected that one interesting um I did read a troubleshoot that when you end a battle King’s great uh son-in-law died oh damn jard the aster firstborn daughter’s husband
Died that’s a shame anyway uh just to recap this series so far we’re currently war with the hre we’ve currently thrown back two full Stacks we still maintain not five full stacks on the border now probably two all up we’re splitting half a Stacks from Gand
All the Way South to Claremont we got a surprised attacked by the hre which is annoying so where were those military forces well they’ve been sent down to Iberia where we’re going to try and do the reong Kista England style so do they want to cease fire we’ve
Managed to do I have to pay them off we’ll see here we go we’ve been at war with them for two turns they do sometimes seem to be open for peace but yeah it’s annoying we’ve been at war with them two separate times within the last like 12 turns so we’ve got my
Bishops heading south and we’ve got two full Stacks here ready to go Prince James Who has fought the Moors quite a bit our future king is well experienced so he’s going to invade and drop near jalter jalta will be British controlled again then I guess we got Cordoba
So let’s Siege this settlement out now I think going for like these three cluster of settlements would be good the Moos have done quite well in this series being able to project a lot of power from North Africa they control a bunch of southern Spain so we got two full
Stacks here now um I’m trying to think wait that’s undefended no way um okay so in seil let’s um maybe move two in h Hugh The Afflicted why is everyone Afflicted well we’ll move them in and uh yes sir I think we need to start
Exter cuz the thing is it’s going to be largely not our all who oppose us religion so that’s worse um so civils okay oh do they I don’t know about that would the venetians and the Crusader States give a rats about discre moish people maybe all right let’s build a church firstly
And I suppose we move the rest maybe we do try and take what is that I guess it is Portugal that’s a Portuguese settlement there um am I better off to go like here yeah use the naval and then we’ll try and siege that out we block there all right
And we’ll see how the Moors react all right let’s uh end the turn and continue 103 turns into this campaign so we’ve managed to take our first piece of terrritory and we also have to see how the um H reacts as well I don’t oh nothing’s happening we skipped past them and the
French here come the Moors okay so they have move some forces closer to us but I think they don’t seem to be challenging us yeah but I feel like a lot of this territory was under Portuguese and Kingdom of Castile and Leon control at some point uh suitable husband for another
Plantagenet um sure I don’t see anything wrong with that some other traits so many notific we don’t need to see all them auy interesting name let’s move you to London and we’ll try and move the rest of the generals to Paris as well right we’ll Siege this one
Out okay moving to crush the enemy half a stack going there right down here now with James there’s only 500 that’s their faction leader oh my got we outnumber them what have we got 5,000 yeah like literally 10 to 1 yep we can order resolve this one Victory we can risk it And we’ll do that these people now need yeah they keep on being renamed so this is cevil interesting okay unfortunately there’s a plague there that’s annoying and now we border with the Portuguese I will not words so these three cluster of settlements I might even sue for peace
With them we’ll see uh we could charge out out against them here we might be able to get rid of the Moos faction leader so let’s move Walter to get this Army out in the way they rejected which is surprising uh let’s just move here and yep with over resounding
Force oh they actually accepted the ransom so they’ve been moved back to Cordova cuz we’ve managed to gain a lot of movement we might as well just Siege it out approaching quietly guess that’s Granada they are buffering up some forces cuz we had some spies in Intel
Over there before that they weren’t as strong so let’s Siege Cordova the C what I could do is maybe hang on my king yes let’s put some of the army there let’s allow Gilbert plantagenet to govern Silla could even send some more over there to be
Honest and of let’s quickly have a look can’t spy At Your Service all right make sure actually we can move our ship there uh we could actually block that Port potentially uh let’s make sure we bu a church make sure those religious buildings get built um all right where are those
Priests coming in yes sirs okay they’re only a turn away right let’s move Walter over to Cordoba he can join the siege build some equipment and I’ll keep an eye on the public order now that we’ve moved Gilbert plantagen in or Gil bear if he’s French let’s convert this to a yeah we
Don’t need a castle down here a lot of this Coastal stuff can probably be settlements um yep still at war with the Moors and the H foress they still don’t want to cease fire what time okay back down here in Iberia still bu in that Siege equipment in
Cordova and we might play the battle at the start of the next turn all right 105 turns in The Siege equipment is now being built let’s have the siege of Cordoba 1184 a d we’re going to continually try to negotiate with the hre after destroying two full stacks of theirs
They’re still not interested in peace even with a bunch of our generous negotiations was disappointing that’s annoying come on me all right back down South we can deal with the MS now so I’m trying to think which I do I think I play this one because we haven’t fought a battle
In this incursion we fought a ble against the mors before my Lord um command me sire your will sire join could yes an order my Lord my your will sir maybe do this and then command me there might fre up more units BN there we go okay so that is their
Faction leader pretty decent Army inside as well the Amir 28 fourstar Commander no yep that is their faction leader we do number him quite a bit they’ve got 900 we have 3,500 here we go the first offensive Siege in this morish Invasion let the boy win his Spurs King over with
The Third King of England at the Battle of Cy Cy on my ERS there’s a place in tazzy called chy that’s why I said it all right let’s get this underway okay so still oper operating with mostly a tier one Army here but it is going to
Be able to hold its own a lot better in the style of offensive sieges cuz we’ve got gold to silver armor plating all right let’s give out some orders now this is quite a big city and there’s a faction leader inside we do have additional reinforcements coming up
With their own Siege equipment so they can go from the other side but here we go the Recon Kea is and truly underway now once I sort of I I basically just want to try and grab this small cluster of moish forces on the coast cuz that’s where a lot of their
Economical power is going to drive from I’m more than happy to potentially s for peace with the Moors I feel like in an invasion into their North African territories is going to be a bit of a bigger task um particularly like navally and it’s their home core
Territory we could potentially uh call a crusade and also we could get a Jihad called on us as well maybe if we go into North Africa potentially we’ll see how we go but Prince John the illegitimate is well and truly earning his spurs in this series he’s been our best General so far
Maybe because he’s illegitimate he’s trying to prove he’s worth too much our went on Crusade didn’t arrive in time attacked the Spanish Capital killed the Prince crushed some mors on the way back set up a really good game plan to take toose from Aragon he might uh if he’s successful in this series
He might be able to be called King James the great the Conqueror of Southern Iberia or what did the Persians call Alexander Alexander the accursed to Spanish to Portuguese to catalans and Moors he was known as Prince James the accursed our solders have proved their okay so we’re moving off the walls now
They’re in a retreat we should be able to wrap up this Siege quite well we just outnumbered them so much we will have to be a little bit careful cuz we are facing a faction leader at the end of the day with pretty good command
But we’ll see how we go we should be able to successfully push through the city streets all right we’re advancing hang on just need to make sure that reinforcing Army okay we might be slightly a little bit too Archer heavy in this one for a Siege Seven’s okay
Spearman yeah we don’t really have any professional Spearman and knights cuz we just can’t afford them a lot of them are actually back in the mainland in France okay maybe I need to move the prince up a bit he actually got two gold Chevrons cuz he’s been in so many
Fights it’s kind of crazy our men are wining the battle now hopefully we will smash the enemy what this will do is it will inspire the other Iberian kingdoms of Spain and Portugal control of the are us Spain and Kingdom of C only on changeably it’s bit of a
Mouthful I could just say Leon I guess but um yeah to pick apart some of that more Northern Territory like they even have Valencia still because after this we’re going to have to probably consolidate and hold and all my infantry is routing what is happening James only got caught their
Yikes victory will be ours my infantry just got crushed to be fair when we fought the um Moos on the open field I was actually quite impressed of the eny overall how strong their unit roster was I reckon the balls are probably pretty underrated in this m their L Eastern faction’s always quite
Good CU they don’t have to worry about the Pope the Turks are like one of the s tier factions in Medieval 2 particularly if you get Constantinople or Istanbul early on yeah you have to deal with the tum rids and the Mongols we usually strong enough before they even Rock up
Anyway yikes he’s lost 700 now the battle is very much in our favor if we okay we are starting to will be ours slowly but surely will whack on through some of those generals the enemy are badly blooded it’s just pushing into this town square they are literally fighting to the last
Moall which is annoying oh my god 72% of their 85 oh no we we might not be able to win this hang up this is so close this is going to be a glorious Victory if we can pull it off or just thrown oh my God this is
Brutal the battle is very much in our favor if we remain true and stand oh I think our reinforcements are mostly retreating now it’s these infantry man yeah they’ve lost a th000 easy our men are in command of the city well at least we get it could Capital that was
Slain and defeated on the field I think cober is actually their Capital finally enough and delivered us Victory nice we got oh my God we lost 2,000 after all that we’re going to be leaving with just over a th000 remaining yikes oh my god oh what is happening man oh that’s
So annoying well we have to redo the battle um thankfully we didn’t lose anyone we did win but the casualties aren’t going to be reflected yeah I don’t know The Spoils of War I don’t know what to say this campaign is th this mod is so weird I don’t know why it
Crashes like randomly Moors oh no we’re currently siing it we’ve taken ciles we’re about to take Lisbon on the west coast there we’re sieging them out we’re going to be able to move additional reinforcements over there so we’re going to have to deal with that and we currently have we shall Slaughter hang
On we been ambushed here heir to the Empire interesting is this like Granada all right we’ll manually fight this one and okay so I was going to say we’re going to have the siege of Granada but actually it’s going to be an open field battle okay so hope
You guys are still enjoying this series we’ve been playing it for a couple weeks now I’m absolutely loving every single day hopping on and recording this series it’s been so much fun and you guys have been as the weeks have gone on it’s kind of been crazy um how incredible the uh
The support has been I think it’s just because a lot of people are craving medieval too at the moment they’re craving older historical Total Wars which is nice but yeah this has definitely spurred me on to do more Medieval 2 s SHP campaigns because it is a new complete experience for me
And I haven’t done actually too many normal stay inless steel campaigns and this seems to be a lot better the only criticism I have is for some reason this mod is just a little bit unstable it’s very weird with like recording software I’ve never had this
Much issues I think it’s because of just how the mod is I I think the I think what it is is for example vanilla Medieval 2 is like super stable to record but I think it’s just the way they launch it um and then recording on top of it is just a
Bit weird anyway we’ll try and Rush this first initial Army get rid of the captain or general here and then we only have to deal with one more but I have been reading a lot of your comments time to press the over the past couple of weeks
Um I I I have been getting comments about feedback and suggestions that are I think it was like I read this long post about like oh you need roads you need Farms you need all these buildings and stuff and I feel like when people comment about advice unless you’re
Specifically talking about sshp don’t bother because like all that feedback was like for vanilla Medieval 2 this is so vastly different it costs so much money it’s like yeah build roads and Farms that’s a fantastic Medieval 2 advice but like it’s nearly 10 times eight times the cost you eventually want
To try and get it but the best way I found at the moment is putting money into soldiers and then getting settlements is the best way so when I’m asking for feedback and suggestions I’m really asking for s ship not even stay the still just like
This people that have played it quite a bit we have slowly been upgrading the armor of our units which is good we’re still fighting with pretty tier one units but that’s fine because units are so expensive and they still seem to be performing quite well some people like I’ll get better quality
Units get Knights and stuff it’s like they’re so expensive they seem to be performing okay the way we use them yeah they take High casualties here and there but I just I feel like it’s people just um I don’t mind back seat gaming I don’t really care it’s like whatever you can
Say whatever you want but it’s like oh you actually not saying any helpful information at all unless you’re specifically suggesting suggesting sshp advice I don’t want to know okay we’ve got range on them here and also it’s going to take a while before we can even
Get uh the next tier of knights I think we need to get to 1200 ad and we can get some actually better quality ones all right let’s just quickly fold these on the flanks but I would highly recommend SSH if you guys want to check it out oh
Yeah this is a good one I really think sshop adds too many frustrating factors well that’s the point they’re meant to make it super hard in DUI not enough historical Improvement to make it worthwhile ah so I guess it’s like you it’s the title you’re more
So yeah cuz it’s cuz I guess there’s some people that want the historical stuff the realism but not necessarily the hardness but I think it’s fine all right they’re charging here 2518 but so far Prince John the illegitimate is earning himself to be potentially the next Heir and king of this dynasty
Oh that was another thing as well some people getting um cuz I do do quiz Community polls from time to time where I just get a bunch of them I usually just do them in one big bulk and then pump them all in but I misclicked on one
And it was the question for the um uh how long was the 1100 uh Years War and I so I put all the information I know it’s it’s it’s 11 it’s 116 but I accidentally clicked 145 so cuz I do them in bulk I guess there’s always a chance that they’re
Wrong but um yeah my bad just because it was a misclick it’s cuz I do so many of them they’re occasionally wrong but a lot of people in the community were able to point it out which is fine the battle is very much in our favor if we remain true and Lord have
Mercy we’ve lost half of our men okay so once we the enemy are badly blooded they have lost half their men can smash these armies we had to push upon Granada nice let’s just try and run down as many of them as we can oh yeah and then there was this
Comment and sometimes the quizzes like I I they’re not like trick quizzes usually pretty stra straightforward was an accident oh my God this quiz invites um wrong information is this trying to engagement farm this YouTube channel disgraceful it’s like dude relax don’t have to be so cynical I made a mistake
Yikes all of Christendom will be AED by the victory we have won here but it’s uh great that people sort of picked it out cuz you I don’t know if you don’t know when you pump into Community polls you have to click which one is the right
Answer for it to pop up but I guess like it gives like a verified tick so it like made it think that it was anyway and sometimes the wording of the quizard are weird some people think they’re trick questions and whatnot but no they’re not all right so
Damn it we didn’t get rid of enough of them yes to actually just walk into Granada so we’ll move these reinforcements from cevil oh no this isn’t cevil it’s that’s well it’s like I guess is s cuz s is like the team isn’t it command they wish they’d never been born
We should be all right to resolve that nice Victory um nothing can stop us all right let’s take lbon now us wow Victory that’s incredibly surprising that um where approaching quiet Portugal actually lost their Capital yes I feel like in this series The Iberian factions have done absolutely
Terrible it’s we not a bad idea to get a diplomat cuz now we are starting to entrench ourselves into Southern Iberia an order I will your complete ready we need negotiations cuz technically at the moment our kingdom is sort of split we’ve got the core territory back in the
British Isles we’ve got the French mandate or Kingdom and now in southern Iberia as well you can nearly split it up between rulers sir like you got the king ruling the aisles you got Prince James being the commander and chief as it were and then we’ve got our French territory which
Especially the west coast is our sort of you can even make an argument at is our corol territory but we will want to flood more reinforcements down there when we can and once we basically rid the Moors from Iberia I’m sure the Pope’s going to be
Quite happy with me we can push into North Africa still trying to go for those 40 settlements that we need to hit for our Victory condition I think we’ve already completed our short Victory we’re want to go for long um we still need Jerusalem hey we got 20 provinces Nice and Paris which
We’ve got we need to destroy Scotland which we’ve done we also need to destroy France we can but we can do that at a later dat all right so we do have some additional reinforcements coming down here in the form of priests they’re going to help us convert
Some of the populace cuz it is very non-catholic as it were down here fortunately there’s a bit of a plague crisis going on all right let’s move some additional reinforcements over over here but yeah I can definitely see myself doing more series cuz the support is there all right we can order resolve
This one so expect more s SHP campaigns to come these people now kneel before us mil okay Granado has been taken another PL I think this cuz they’re just like massive cities dude some of the populations are huge down here yes my Lord I don’t want to sack in exterminate
But the only way to manage these large cities is probably it all right it’s probably time for peace now cuz I don’t think there’s any more territory that they have in Iberia itself trade and ceas fire annoyed how about just a ceasefire though okay so we’re just going to have to continually annoy
Them okay cuz like Venice Venice doubt yes my Lord s Valencia yeah so they got two pieces of territory left right okay we still technically are at war with the H that’s something to keep an eye on as well so this is too and they got another one down here
Okay they actually have a few more sets I thought that they didn’t have much more left cannot do that it’s because they’re under siege they’re not going to have much left yes all right now our Bishops are here now ideally yes your once they sort of start converting the local
Populace we should be able to get high ranking Bishops to maybe make a play for becoming Pope okay the population is somewhat stable 25 regions so we’re just over halfway Baldwin’s 58 fortunately his son Walter died of the plague the de blur line is not looking the most
Healthy yeah like the male line is actually not looking too good which isn’t a bad thing for the plantagenets that are ruling so John is like 23 so at the moment yeah it’s interesting because it goes King Henry who’s 52 it looks like even though he’s illegitimate he’s still got the
Um the air Crown which I don’t know why he does have a son though so does that work I guess it’s just up to who has the power in the Army really and the clim but if the King Henry he has a son James who’s illegitimate
But hen but James gets married to a Danish princess and then James’s son is that the next in line does it skip over him or because his father was illegitimate does therefore make him I don’t know how that works with like male preference progenitor or should it just go straight to
Um Henry’s brother who’s the next clment cuz we’re still going with male preference we’re not going with um female at the moment we need to I think I’d rather go with a brother than a a daughter P want an alliance uh sure I think they actually have some
North African territory to be fair Lord sure all right welcome to the top of the turn 107 turns in which is a fair amount the pope wants me to go on crusade to Poland what is that even Poland or is that more the Baltic bizarre but it wants King Henry
To go oh God King Henry who hasn’t left London in his whole life uh guy has now come of age this is jir D’s son so this is the King’s grandson from the French line one of the famed French generals we adopted well not really adop brought into the line but he’s 53
Yikes okay so looks like the Spanish actually got pushed back from tudo I would like to take more territory but we might just have to hold and consolidate cuz you just lose so many casualties it’s kind of hard I actually might try and make an alliance with some
Of these Iberian Nations now that we border them nice so Aragon is going to Ally with us I love how they just forgot about that short war we had against them there was a time when we tried to take too from them he and the hre have sued for peace
Finally couple Wars against them dude they really came after us a couple episodes ago but now we’ve pushed them back yeah I think like actually oh then they want an alliance my God what a crazy turn of events yeah I feel like if you get a surprised attacked and you don’t want to
Be at war with someone if you fight defensively and quite passively just throw them back and you don’t just start taking their territory and if you like smash them and humiliate them a bit you have a really high likelihood of actually making peace so spread the word yeah but
Go on Cru I can’t believe that he wants the king the king hasn’t fought a single battle ever he’s quite old your leader must join well at least he’s not going to the Holy Land I reckon the baltics SL sort of Eastern Europe there it’s going to be a lot
Easier for us to carve and take territory well the thing is I think Poland no Poland Catholic at this point what why did they get excommunicated I don’t even know who this current pope is like what Allegiance does he have well anyway uh we’re going to have to well now we made
Peace with the hre so that’s good we’re currently under the reign of King Henry the Magnificent he has been such an awesome King obviously his father United the British Isles and under his Reign conquered France pushed them back to a one settlement fact action and after sending his son Prince James the
Chad although most call him the illegitimate has now carved himself a kingdom in southern Iberia but Henry after being forced by the pope 50 years of age nearly heading towards retirement oh we’ve been intercepted well we’ll fight this one anyway he’s going to um Poland I think it’s more closer to the
Baltic or is it it might be sort of that Prussian daning territory or whatever um okay well uh um yikes are actually outnumbered here by about 700 uh I actually my T tactical Retreat oh and we’ve been pushed oh okay well that makes a difference that’s a pretty good
Army all right so we’ve taken five settlements from the Moors um I think there’s two maybe left settlements we’ll see Aragon has pushed South we got an alliance with them Portugal lost Lisbon we actually own Lisbon now which which is hilarious and we’re sort of on an uneasy footing okay so they’re attacking
Me now thankfully there’s no General commanding this and Prince James has been so good all right bunch of archers in this build some crossbows infantry is fine so what we’ll do is we’ll make a defensive position sit back and we’ll put some units on the flank so we can fold them if need
Be all right there we go get some Cavalry around but yeah I really quite like the story of uh Prince James the illegitimate proving himself down in Iberia but yeah I just want to guys I just got to say thank you I I really really appreciate all the support on
This series I’m still kind of shocked um I didn’t expect me let’s playing this mod was going to be this popular but yeah thank you so much I really appreciate all the kind comments and uh the lurkers as well I appreciate you that just leave likes and stuff and the
Trolls even the trolls even the troll posts I um I don’t know I don’t really care about troll post I I engage with them because I think it’s kind of funny it’s content but um yeah all right I don’t know what it is sometimes it just comes out of the woodwork I
Think I think it’s just volume you get 100 likes no one says anything 10 comments and then there’s like one it’s like o it’s like the one comment you just like no it’s it’s not like care about it’s just like fixate on like what why would you say
This all right here come the Moors all right let’s move but um yeah I’m in a really good mood I think it’s the weather it’s nice and warm here in Australia now I don’t think it’s sort of a seasonal depression I I don’t know I I
I feel like saying it like that is like a bit harush but I definitely like energy-wise feel different when it’s like nice and warm and St oh this is so good here winter in tazzy is always shocking ass I just need a hold I think that’s like it happens a lot in
Like those Nordic countries doesn’t it but Um yeah I’m in a good spot with my arm at the moment try to go on about it also I feel like I can play this as well with one hand I just feel like the battles are nowhere near as I just didn’t really I don’t know if it’s this mod necessarily
I’ve kind of forgot but like maybe it is I think it is the mod because you cuz there’s not as much Cavalry you don’t need a micro as hard because Cavalry is so so expensive the AI nor you tend to deploy it that much okay so holding the front line here
We do have Archer Supremacy the Moos have a pretty good roster they’ve definitely been the faction in this series that we’ve lost the most casualties too maybe it’s because we got surprise detect from the French and we on the defensive I feel like our offensive Wars we lost so so many
Forces but yeah no dealing with this bloody neuropathic pain issue has been an absolute well pain just constantly having a staed hand and arm the enemy General has no honor he F the battle hopefully I can get it fixed and stop bloody talking about it we’ve captured the enemy’s
General that’ll teach the Cowardly Dog to turn tail and run now he can rest at our Leisure okay so some of them are wavering here oh now we’re broken them so we can push through here it’s also probably been a good while since I’ve played medieval too
It’s been a while since I’ve played an historical version I feel like I played like Game of Thrones maybe even Lord of the Rings Dak it’s been a while what’s been going on with Dak as well didn’t the main guy leave and isn’t it like the community who runs that now
Okay our archers are nearly out of ammunition so we got to keep an eye on that our infantry are holding but dude we’re just taking so many casualties even just sitting back and defending if they had that extra the battle is very much enough only half the enemy
Force remains couple hundred from that settlement it might have been a different story dude there’s a lot of units in Retreat here Prince James is being a bit gun ho there are a couple close calls with him unbelievable how we nearly got taken out early in the series but yeah know
This moish push has definitely worked but we’re still slowly but surely pushing towards those 40 settlements but yeah so far I’m still enjoying this mod um and with your guys support we’re definitely going to do more sshp definitely and probably more Medieval 2 Series let’s just try and run down as
Many of them as we can dude what a epic defensive heal hold as it were nice we can just run them down um I’m trying to think though just cuz it takes so much long all right we won so we can just run them down now I
Think if I do do a next series I want to probably do a faction that doesn’t have to deal with the Pope because having Chrome gang up on you like what’s about to happen to Poland is something you don’t want so maybe we play as the Romans rebuild the Roman
Empire how often do you guys think about [Laughter] Rome oh God I had someone asked me that recently as a troll I’m pretty sure yeah how often do you think about the Roman Empire I was just like yeah probably at least once die several times a week it’s like you
She was like you got to be joking right I said no probably not but it’s also like probably the Roman Republic as well it’s like I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk about that out loud to me that often not like every day oh God it’s a pretty funny m
I like it I like it a lot but yeah I’m trying think who else I don’t know I think the Moors would be quite hard as a faction maybe in the same breath the Turks the enemy are utterly vanquished I don’t know this is a great Victory worth
But I feel like playing as England has been a really good learning faction for me to sort of learn this mod also um I did read in the comments as well both times people were saying um oh my sshop constantly crashes after battles I figured it out cuz
Someone said in the comments is that don’t end the battle that quickly I don’t know what it is if it if it’s loading or processing but just like as we saw there we just gave it like a couple seconds do that um I am tempted to ransom they rejected unfortunately all
Right so we should be able to push for the settlement then they oh no Aragon out of nowhere I hate that when you do the hard work destroying the Army and then someone comes in and Snipes the settlement I guess that’s what we get for retreading I suppose yeah all
Right um we’re going to have to land with Henry uh I great Trade Fair can be held at the capital 4,000 yeah we’re making a fair bit of money now which is good Oliver of North umberland Manny’s now died unfortunately all right let’s move guy and we’ve got actually no we’ll keep
Guying Paris or we might go back and forth I don’t know um all righty then now that we got like a decent amount of money it’s probably not a bad idea to recruit back on the border cuz we’ve had a fair few skirmishes and armies traded against the hre the last thing we Want is for them to attack me again so maybe deterrence is better hang on I don’t want to trespass in France all right let’s drop him let’s join Crusade 54 years of age hasn’t fought a battle bro going to go to The Proven grounds which is the
Baltic and that should give him a nice boost also I was reading the comments as well oh simp you should always um I don’t mind this comic cuz it’s not a bad one you should always leave some spots to get mercenaries but they’re usually quite expensive um there are
They are a good way to get some troops but yes is this the upkeep the initial cost is quite High um I I tend to use units I use I tend to use mercenaries as sort of an emergency I’m also going Crusade for the experience in the Chevrons and for the
Traits for the generals but yeah it is a good suggestion if you’ve got the money but the thing is as well I I’m not at the point where I’m just like constantly playing with full Stacks that are terrible like even our tier one units people criticize it for some
Reason I don’t know why they perform pretty well so it’s like okay what’s it’s the whole thing um what’s better one Knight unit or like three four cheaper units I usually tend to go with the cheaper right agents wise let’s ping around a bit we want to try and get an alliance
With the kingdom of Castile and Leon if we can just as a deterrent same with those forces On the Border okay because we’re getting to a point where we might be taking former well we have we we’ve taken the former Portugal Capital so they probably got a core
Target on that um I don’t think we’ve taken any Aragon territory Toledo or tudo is definitely former Castile I would think just trying to think if I should move in here will Infidel we could maybe get the mercenaries down here though because we’re actually going to use them cuz we
Haven’t got a full stack that’s a bit different we’ve already got a full stack up in the north and for example we can’t actually recruit down here and especially tudo is such a big city it’s actually one of probably the biggest castle we’re going to see
Ever all right sing out to Ludo yeah I don’t think there’s a point of helping out Aragon take that certain I think we better off going for tudo just in case the kingdom of Castile Leon come over here and attack so we still got 748 turns oh my
God has anyone actually got to that has anyone done a campaign that’s like 600 that’ be kind of crazy yeah it’s a shame one of the plantagenet boys he’s gone all right let’s send the turn and continue oh Heming a bit of cash maybe it was because of those mercenaries
Maybe all righty so let’s get stuck into this Siege o this is actually might be a bit difficult because it is a large castle and by the look of it I can see in the distance is that a second ramp part okay hang on we might need to bring
Up two bashing Rams so once we take this settlement this should be the last of the Moors in Iberia we at war with the Moors and Poland they got excommunicated the pope c a crusade on them laau so we’re going to have to deal with
That as well so we might be able to take some Polish territory here today we’ll have we’ll just have to see how we go but if not we should be able to go full tonic order on some of those Baltic Eastern pagans cuz a lot of them actually don’t follow
Catholicism it’s just so much easier if you’re playing as a Catholic faction to go after non-catholic factions just as England we’re on the other side of the map so it’s a little bit hard to get to them obviously it’s not really that much of an issue in vanilla cuz you tend
To get excommunicated back and forth and usually fine so this is going to be a quite big and large and difficult stage we’ve got a lot of archers so we’re going to be able to arc our shots up and over got some auxiliaries some Berber Moors helping us out
Bers where are they from again North Africa Ah that’s kind of cool helping us out in this one okay we’re up on the walls and we’ll try and put our archers there so they can shoot down they got a lot of Cavalry oh no oh no that’s good I thought it was an
Archer unit but uh still striving for those long Victory conditions have 40 regions which is easier said than done there been quite a long series but I don’t I I don’t mind doing long series from time to time I like to try and keep them short and sweet
But I’m really enjoying this campaign I’m having so much fun but um a word of advice this campaign s ship is very very long I like it it it’s it’s a weird sort of long though as well because I’m trying to think it’s not as sort of long as third age in
Dak but it’s nowhere near as long as Dei or um 1100 ad even that it’s a good mixture but I can definitely see myself doing more on this campaign but I’m still very much thinking about who to play next because there’s some crazy stuff that happens here and there but we’ve
Sort of gotten past the um sort of existential threat bit do you know the thing is I’ve talked about this plenty of times in campaigns I feel like in your total war campaign there’s flash points right there’s literally like make or break points in your campaign and if you lose those injection
Like inflection point inflection I don’t know what WR what I’m trying to say those like crucial points if you lose them the campaign’s like stop so for example when we marched into Scotland with all our armies if we lost those armies we’re that’s done that’s like 30 40 turns of repairing even this
Is even harsher um we were luckily able to get all the United Kingdom under our control if we didn’t have as many military Assets in France when they surprised attacked us they could have taken half of that territory we still had some units back in England but we
Were able to flood them over okay we’ve won this first bit on the wall so now we just need to get to the second side but there’s a Gateway there which is annoying R of ammunition with our archers unless oh hang on we might be able to go
Through here sometimes this works no okay so they’re going to control it sometimes if the AI is not quick enough you can snake a um charge there oh what was the point I was going to say oh yeah so then we threw back the we threw back to I never
Really feared losing against the H it was a bit hectic but we managed to Su for piece we we were a lot more stable than the French surprise attack but um yeah I feel like at this point now we’re we’re in a good position cuz like look this fullscale Invasion
Into Southern Iberia the English Reconquista if it all ended in tears and stuffed up come on just need this battering R to move um it wouldn’t have been at the end of The Campaign it would have just been a failed campaign but at the moment we’re just
Sort of pushing and grinding on here wait they are going to let us in wait what oh my God is that why the battering ram was bugging out cuz it wasn’t allowing me to break the Gate of my my own gate I guess yeah I don’t think a battering ram
Can be broken when you control interesting oh even this little bit here dude I actually think Mo’s more more moop moish Castle is actually can be a little bit tricky to take all right we’re surging through here and there nicely done there’s so much Cavalry bro all right my Lord only half our
Force remains I’m going to get my archers to draw their short swords and go and help there we go it’s much better cuz uh I just think we just need to flood against this cavalry okay although there isn’t a gate there this is like nearly a second
Gateway is it a Causeway what what is what’s a Gateway without a gate doorway Gateway it’s called something I can’t remember what it’s called it’s the arch all right we might need to move James in but he’s only got 12 units with him yikes just move him up for support dude my
Units are exhausted the enemy are badly blooded they have lost half their men all right bro I would say so far that the Moors roster has been really really hard to deal with I don’t know if I don’t know if it’s necessary God we’re wavering here I don’t know if it’s necessarily
Cuz it’s just a really good counter to what we have or it’s just actually decent it would kind of make sense as to why the three Iberian Catholic factions couldn’t actually deal with a Rec cona yeah let me know I’m actually just like Curious in your campaigns if you guys
Have played hundreds of turns for the moment the fortune of battle does the Iberian faction AI like the Catholic ones does it tend to not win this war or like they’ve lost so much territory it’s actually kind of a joke or maybe it’s sensible and realistic I don’t know like they’ve got
So much territory in North Africa that’s not really threatened or to be fair they did lose Tunisia to um the PE yeah the peasons peasons people from P all right um okay we’re going to get a close Victory there but we lost a lot of units
There oh God it’s just cuz of the bloody settlement let anyone who has Zeal for God come with me let us fight for our brothers let Heaven Heavens will be wait wa let let Heavens will be done what the such is the fate of all who oppose us Victory these and now we
Have Toledo under our control yeah I feel like the kingdom of Castile and Leon should have had that dude six-star Commander dislikes the Moors 11 battles okay so the MS do have an Army in the south we’re 110 turns in 1186 a maybe we should negotiate with him would you be
Interested in peace no rejected how about for trade not interested cuz I think they could very well not have any more territory Portugal’s angry with me I don’t know why Portugal anything happening up here not so much all right where were we oh right we were dealing
With this so hang on um right we were sieging but we can’t attack CU The Siege equipment hasn’t been built yet I don’t even what are the the abids neutral for 109 turns what okay okay so oh Johan Von Lindberg is going to attack the poles uh I’m going
To not come in and help they actually pushed back no oh yes I think we worked I think we baited them we might get some negative trades for that but it’ll be worth it because if I can take this settlement cuz I want it if I can have a little Outpost a
Little Leap Pad Lily Pad in I think this is probably the Baltic I don’t know what is this s what I don’t I don’t even know what modern day this is that’s we want oh my God ciles not too happy Roger Manny yeah right we got some people coming of age which is
Nice uh okay so he’s all right so distrug buly all right that was um demand deville’s grandson you interesting all right back over here against Poland I can’t seem to figure out I’m just looking it up cuz I’m curious we shall slaughter them Lord what is this settlement nowadays is it
Kenrad is it leave your mercy behind oh maybe UT Crush cuz I can see the the two bits yeah I think this actually might be uh or it might actually be collinsburg I don’t know that would be massive if we could get that all right anyway um on holy
Crusade we got some reinforcements coming in so King Henry 54 years of age been living in Palace luxury hasn’t even left London I think he went to Paris for the first time when he was in his 50s is now being uh sent to Eastern Europe now he’s going to have a bit of
A a spring in his step would you believe it ah why have I not been in Battle Before well it’s cuz he’s been govering oh my God the city’s actually being damaged there I feel bad for the poles yeah this just shows as to why I
Don’t want to be ex communicated in this mod especially on the harder difficulties it’s basically a um death sentence as you tend to not go through Kings although too much but here is the Polish roster and I suppose the H the H is going to push from the
East uh hungry from the south so we’re sort of pushing and going after Poland here I don’t think we’re going to Denmark or nor we got we still got that Alliance well the prince is married Prince um James although illegitimate is married to a Dane a future king could be Danish oh did
That hang on it allowed me to um put the ladder there but it actually bugged huh okay kind of makes sense it’s not really really that structurally sound if we continue like this but thankfully the pope didn’t call a crusade in the Far East the Middle East the Levant
Area that could have been an issue most definitely Pro their worth today the enemy’s walls belong to us now seems he’s only one star commanding all right we’re slowly but surely working our way and flooding through these polish streets I actually think Poland would be probably pretty hard as a campaign cuz
You’re sort of sandwiched between the hre you can’t really go north too much and you got blast no longer command the castle Pagan and other non Catholic factions to your East that the thing is the thing is like in Med there’s sort of a bit of a um settlement disparage um
Difference in mediev 2 like those sort of coastal Mediterranean Eastern Med territory around North Africa Italy Greece Anatolia is just so much more valuable like than some of that land locked North and Eastern European territory so I reckon even if you push that far it’s probably not worth it financially
Speaking okay so we’re coming on in haven’t really seen that much additional polish reinforcements Lord our men are in Alli coming in oh nice 3 minutes remaining as we initiate the countdown oh wow pretty good siege two times around this is a reading the Moos from
Iberia only men of great virtue and Val and taking our first piece of territory my God they somehow lost yes so Pisa and the hre come in oh my God we outnumbered them so much Gard ven oh my God podesta D Delmont oh God butchard all right just want to give it a moment here whoever said this in chat and in in the comments Legend cuz it seems to work if you just sort of hold here it’s probably interesting to read the stats anyway if you’re curious some my my units got healed casualties inflicted casualties
Sustained sax and Spearman 79 and then now we can load in also I really like some of these backgrounds as well I adore some of them look look cute ass look at that Templars in a street all right right so Venice we got kingdom of Jerusalem here hungry okay
So so it is coningsburgh right Hasen right let occupy oh so I was right I do like how it changes the names as well and 2,000 Florence gaining some experience nice so we’ve taken our first piece of territory in yeah probably better just to call
This the Prussian region I say oh my God English trips in in cburg what a shocker it’s 55 as well oh my God all right so coningsburgh we’re going to use this as a base of operations and we’re going to be able to launch ourselves down into Eastern
Europe all right let’s do some negotiations csb not too bad of a city which is nice so we got a bit of money am I’m just trying to your more or less I don’t really care for the alliances with Portugal or the kingdom of CAS Leon it’s
Just to sort of get them off our back yes your 12% okay that’s fine oh actually now that the malls are out we probably need to move you down down here because I think it’s like f or something the capital is down there I can’t remember what it
Is well I thought we were sort of stabilizing this region I think it’s the plague I don’t really want to have races uh we do have a lot of money so we can probably afford to not make them pay that high taxes all right well unfortunately on that note it is time to
Slowly wrap things up here today thank you very much for watching hope you’ve enjoyed episode 20 stay tuned for episode 21 coming out the exact same time tomorrow where we’ll see how the polls react in and around coningsburgh yeah it’s all great to have big dreams and Ambitions to push into
Eastern Europe which is easier said than done taking territory there’s also a fair few factions we can go after as well not just Poland Lithuania uh maybe even ke even novod but uh we shall see we just need those territories okay so there’s a Papal election oh here we
Go uh I guess we go with the hre our Ally a new era for the papal sea and Francis the peaceful from Jerusalem get the majority of the vote is that cuz they have like five Cardinals cuz they’re actively converting in world working I guess all right unfortunately eustus de blur passed away
That’s a shame that’s one of Stefan’s sons and he only had daughters so the line has broken through him the deur line is actually not the best I feel like our lines I feel like there’s been probably a 30 40% male birth rate compared to
Female it’s going to be hard to go down male preference progenitor but at the moment it’s looking okay could be worse now logistically holding this territory is what’s going to be sort of the hard bit but maybe in hindsight I should have done a short campaign as 40 Regents for a Catholic
Faction is a little bit difficult I don’t know let me know in the comments guys if you’ve played ssip did you do a long or a short campaign I feel like it’s a little bit unrealistic for England to be in the Baltic southern Spain you can make an argument for going
Out to help in the Reconquista but yeah without getting excommunicated it’s pretty hard to get more territory I don’t know maybe next time around also I am making plans and preparations for the next series I’ve been loving being back in uh Medieval 2 and staying the steel as well oh my God
It’s such a vastly different experience to vanill I highly recommend it but um we’re coming up on 3 weeks straight I’ve been playing this series so if you do a long England campaign geez you might be here for a month it’s taking ages but it’s uh really enjoyable
But I’m thinking maybe I don’t know the byzantines the Turks I don’t know hey we finally unlocked the recruitment of Norman foot nights and Norman kns hell yeah 1193 a 124 turns in but there’s still a couple turns on top of that as well German hospitalize in AKA founded
Or is that is that hospital uh oh whatever I read it as Hospital similar word a Jihad called on T Tunis really oh it’s cuz uh hea holds Tunisia a little bit weird but okay oh my God plages and just making the public order and just holding down this
Territory is um something oh no we lost someone there of North umberland okay we voted with um the hre so who died oh no the black plague yeah we’ve just got a little bit of lineage troubles yeah there’s definitely more females than males from what we can from what I can sort of
See all right so we need to get some more territory so let’s assemble let’s get James to leave Seville SE and uh move into North Africa we want to try and take Fez which I believe is their Capital now I didn’t particularly want to whittle down the populace near cordob
And Granada and whatnot so we are having public order issues somewhat integrating the population we’ll see so we shall redeclare War upon the Moors and March into Fez we’re still trying to hit that 40 settlement total all right still at war with Poland puen has fallen to the HR it is
Then sir and maybe even some of their southern territory has fallen to the hungarians it looks like okay we’re flooding more troops over to the Baltic reinforcing yeah I’d recommend if you just need settlements head over to the Baltic I guess the wars have sort of ravaged the place and
Um you can seem to pick it up oh no Leonard the beautiful of Cordoba oh yikes that’s terrible I think that’s Prince uh James the illegitimate only son oh you’ve got to be kidding me oh I was sort of touting him to be the next King die of the
Plague oh no that’s their it was his only that’s their only child as well he was half Danish as well so I guess it’s got to go potentially to the brother archal well he’s infected he’s pretty old though I’ve definitely noticed if you keep Generals in s they do tend to last
Longer yeah we’re going to have a bit of uh succession crisis potentially it’s not very clean a lot of females so we I think we’ll go with male preference primo genitor and then we have to if we have to go down the female line will see but
Edmund 49 the king’s brother still at this stage is uh maintaining a strong claim he does have a son Ellis slaughter them Lord all right still sieging out Fez now okay we at number than four to one so we should be okay to order resolve this nice yeah I feel like the balance
Of power is sometimes deceiving um let’s Ransom they’re going to reject so so it doesn’t matter Victory these people now before us me Lord the thing is if you you sack and exterminate you get really bad relations with a lot of factions and there’s a lot of Catholic factions in the
Game that’s the thing is but if you do if you don’t do it you are going to spend a lot of time and money trying to maintain the populace so Prince James will have to stay here sometime we’ll try and flood over to where more priests to help us out
Nice with discretion s Fleet probably worth bringing a spy down that spawn why is there a more army there what the hell my Lord um okay orders I am not here to negotiate the Truth where to Fair few units there my Lord um I could try and somehow get the spy
In um hang on if I hang on move one unit up nice I’ll block this and I’ll swing around and hit this oh there a Hungarian Army in the way okay then we can eliminate those reinforcements so Henry can swing around and crush them perfect going to refuse the
Ransoming and now we don’t have to fight those two armies they’re not going to attack US during the end ter we Siege if this is Poland’s last settlement which it could very well be we might get told to stop cuz we might my king destroy them and get EX
Communicated crazy scenes though the pope called a crusade on them ultimately that’s why we’re up here okay poor philosopher oh my God the plague is just all over the place I think if you’re having really bad plague problems I don’t know why they spawned you can oh they’ve told us
To cease hosties you can sit your generals outside of settlement spread the word that’s fine Isabella plantagenet is Born Nice so unfortunately we’re not going to be able to push into the Polish Capital yes sir uh that’s a shame we’re going to have to disengage all right we’ll move back then
I don’t think there’s any more territory sort of West of CRA anyway that we can probably take or allow the um hre or the hungarians to get excommunicated and take it and I guess we make plans and preparations to go against Lithuania now they’re Pagan so although
A lot of this territory was former polish coningsburgh Danzig crack we’re going to be able to hold on to it I’ve tried whipping them and then we’ll go to war with Lithuania uh we’re still sitting in fairs I do want to try and take more North African
Territory if we can but in some of these regions we’re just going to have to allow the plague to sort of burn out we build some chapels and stuff um we’ll try to get a battle here today but yeah just a lot of these regions are just really weak we’re
Just sort of wrapping up from those big Wars against we had multiple we we had I think we’ve probably crushed four or five more Stacks a decent amount for the poles as well us death stalks the land continually and a new family member Baldwin deur is now of
Age um our General’s bodyguard has been retrained oh nice so finally we’ve actually got like hang on can I I’ll move him out of the settlement hang on cuz I can actually there we go did that change his bodyguard yeah so he’s actually got like an upgraded bodyguard
Unit that’s so nice man I love the retraining ability in medieval too um any other developments here Lithuania is at war with someone interesting all right stabilizing the region slightly down here yeah there I’m surprised how big some of these populations are your majesty your orders yes kind of crazy
Without yes your orders sir where to sir Gods yes Gods spy wise we can move them East cuz I want to try and get some line of sight oh my God like some of these territories aren’t very built up either to be fair they aren’t making the most amount of
Money so I can see why they’re potentially not that big they’re not at war with anyone just checking so we’ll send one of these full Stacks over that was recruited from the Belgian region nice so War has now been declared between us and lith oh was I looking oh
Okay I was actually looking at the wrong one I wonder is there a mod to like Anglo siize some of those words shall I don’t know all right um cuz we’re technically not the kingdom of England as it were okay so I was thinking maybe move that up but
No I think we’ll move together cuz you never know moving through the Baltic Forest is um a great way to give yourself nightmares the last thing you wanted some crazy pagans coming charging out from the the thicket all right and we’ll get the kingdom Mo further Sou All righty welcome to the top of the turn the Holy Roman Emperor is dead uh got some trade we can do sure what to car unfortunately lost a priest that’s annoying oh nice those AR have now been completed Perfect all right um let’s get you to continue this way so
The war between England and Lithuania is about to begin so what do they have inside here we should outnumber them ridiculously oh there only two units to battle oh my God okay 16 men lost honor Victory all right let’s occupy even doing so gave us bad relations all
Right one settlement down many more to come and where’s my spy um your majesty probably should try and make peace with Poland matter of fact if we can’t finish them off completely unun sure we’ll accept that that’s only like 3,000 is winding down this series we I think we only
Need five or so s on not too far away we’re going to come close here today we 131 turns in but yeah episode 23 that means I’ve played this campaign for 23 days taking into the hours this has probably been a 40 hour plus campaign
All right welcome to the top of the turn and for some reason we’re not war with them again I don’t know what is happening all right we’re going to have to redeclare war upon them bear with me it actually stopped the that’s so annoying nice there we go there we go
Again all right um You can start siing out this that’s a bit better and what’s up here R go okay there mustn’t be many more pieces of territory up there all right back down in the South we shall we can push for this now yeah we at number them we should be
Okay clear Victory once again yeah maybe as well I need to be a bit more Brazen and bold on the order resolve these people we have played the majority of the battles this series and we’re going to start Exterminating cuz we yeah I don’t really care about My
Relations now we only need a couple more pieces of territory uh Portugal wants no Alliance but they’re at war with Kingdom of Castile and Leon I’m actually going to reject that because I think they’ve only got one settlement left all right welcome to the top of the
Turn so now we should be able to move in but yeah it’s not the best to sack and exterminate on sshp unless you desperately have to because you do get quite bad relations with other factions even if they’re moish um oppose us I’m sure as you can see here us Victory
Even the H some of the Catholic factions don’t really like you even disrespecting pagans as it were all right that’s now been taken yeah it just continually resetting it’s so annoying maybe there’s got h of faction no that can’t be it yeah here he is Manny
25 English is trying to make his way back his wife is of Novgorod that’s so Manny was Baldwin’s grandson Manny yeah so he’s half de blur wow so his great-grandfather was Stefan dude’s a traitor King Henry has to come out and try and get rid of him we shall slaughter them me Lord
Hilarious come here ah we’re going to have to give Chase maybe we’ll let him go the English prince defeat you who escaped to Russia okay so now can we take this settlement shall okay there’s a Grand Duke now he’s inside so maybe if we get rid of him it might Force for peace
Against him will I don’t know trium bizar our courage and honor conquer Vilas is now under our occupation nice as we slowly but surely continue to creep on up through the baltics and and replenish and repair where we can Eustace Keys 30 and then we’ll push for RGA so Lithuania is
Currently fully under our control Estonia is next all right continue to run Manny down they never been is he going to make it to this settlement of nood so weird that they like Navy attacked me bit bizarre we’ll try and Siege them out all right let’s go North to R
Sieg them out we shall Prevail in this sir Norway wants an alliance and trade uh sure oh it’s cuz they’re not at war with Denmark I feel like a lot of their territory got taken by them that’s why uh all right so I skipped a little bit
Ahead and I’ve also been planning to go to Jerusalem we turn 136 now so I have recruited a army ready and in charge to go to Jerusalem I’m going to start it now because it’s going to take so long to get down there might take another 10
Turns but Gerard diak and his son guy chartley he married the eldest daughter of King Henry my king and he was a French General who technically is a descendant of Philip he’s got a claim there we’ve also got a capan as well um he’s married to the king second daughter
So like funnily enough if all the male line dies out we could actually have a Caan sitting on this uh massive English Throne oh my God it’s still going on that jih had Tunis okay so let’s push and take this territory Manny’s there yeah the order resolve is so deceiving we still like
Ridiculously outnumber them like 4 to one Andrew Manny you traitor technically the king’s cousin he is now no more I think or is he was in the outside nothing oh he might have escaped Victory Manny come back now KN okay and then we shouldn’t need much
More okay so we’ll take rer to ble still massively outnumbering them cuz then we only need Jerusalem and then that last French territory if my math is correct or maybe we need one more maybe we need to try and find another war in the in the fire East here but has now been
Taken yeah we’re just getting really bad relations but it should be okay oh and Lithuania has officially been destroyed England have marched on in and we’ve sort of formed our own tonic order here in the baltics nice all right we’re going to continue north um I don’t really know what this
Territory is I guess it’s more Novod we should be able to take this territory now with minimal resistance honorable glorious I guess this is technically Estonia still like the top bit our courage and hon have conquered could be wrong um h ,000 why oh I guess the Nobles wanted me to do it um okay little
Bit weird nice we can see Finland oh no jera diak died as we’re moving past jalter he died of the of uh he died when he saw the rock oh well not a bad blow to die I guess um his son that’s why I say his
Son he’s going to go down oh he also made an alliance with Hungary whoa the um sultanate of rum has been defeated oh wow the Byzantine have gone out and done bits interesting wow I’m surprised they got destroyed they’re usually a pretty strong faction now this is Noble woman that’s
Popped up rosmond the noble 19 and for some reason I’ve I can’t find her in the family tree am I blind or can I just not see here like I can’t can you guys see where this princess came for or can random princesses just pop
Up I’m like I I I did a good scan I literally can’t see her here maybe she just spawned in from another general or something I don’t know maybe there’s another line that came of age I literally don’t know can that happen anyway we’ll marry her off to uh
She she spawned near someone yeah Edmund of Cornwall who’s just here he’s 14 so we’ll head her over there so we don’t have to move her that much okay let’s get her married off at the top of the turn yeah I don’t know who she was cuz now she’s there yeah there she
Is bit bizarre but whatever all righty we finally made it here jeez it took so long but guy has finally gone here we need two more territories in the victory we’re 149 turns in and here we go we’re going to kick things off we’re going to declare
War upon the kingdom of Jerusalem which is a bit weird I’m assuming they would I I think Jerusalem probably should have fallen in this series that’s why it’s a victory condition also got these armies over here that have now been set up ready to go and it’s going to be our carpatian General
Jeffrey going in and we’ll be ending I guess some of his relatives I suppose marrying the king’s second daughter so let’s read declare war upon France I’m sure at the top of the turn we’re probably going to get excommunicated but we’ll see how we go all right Siege
Out let’s end the turn and continue and we’ll play these two battles and then that’s four 40 regions uh I don’t even know who these guys are sure let’s trade and we might be able to wrap up the series here today if not we’ll do episode 24
Tomorrow all all right welcome to the top of the turn yep they want me to cease hostilities oh we’re actually hemorrhaging a bit of debt because we’ve got armies in the active field okay that’s annoying all right let’s fight this one against the French so the French King is
There Jeffrey Cape with Baldwin de blur Jeffrey the P all right let’s fight this one upon the battlefield now if we’re quick enough we might be able to take the settlement for those French reinforcements coming in now the pope has told us to he ceased hostilities now from my understanding whenever that
Happens it’s actually guaranteed that you will be excommunicated even if we continue to Siege them we there’s a there’s a chance you can get excommunicated okay so let’s finish off the French once and for all we’ve just been keeping them there like the 100 Years War has been ended for so
Long you nearly this is like a in this sort of alternative timeline this could be like the a Belgium you wouldn’t really think of it as the French State as it were okay not the most overly difficult fight our let’s charge on in nice we have control of the walls
And let’s swarm and flood on in EN a little bit of Overkill with the armies we’re probably not going to need it cuz I think they’re going to Rebel cuz oh they could have another actually they could have another settlement somewhere I don’t know where it would be
Though no I probably should have checked actually this should be the last we continue like this we will smash the enemy okay just need to break through this Frankish Spearman Gates Mhm let’s continue on and this should be the last of the French well we brought it in a lot of them the best generals from the wall they wanted to join our side nice it’s been so long since I’ve seen a French unit in combat as the brave English swarm on
In to France’s last stronghold so we’ll pin them in place hang on we’ll get some Cavalry around here here we go let’s get a good flank and charge come on and then we can make our way to the Town Square there we go go go go go go
Perfect George our men ini the countdown now we control of the city the French General’s coming damn it reset slowly but surely whittling them down lord the battle is very much in our favor if we remain true and steadfast Victory will be ours the enemy King lies dead slain by G
Warrior only half the enemy Force remains I really wish you could see family trees that’d be so cool it’s like role play even more I really love that feature in uh CA Kings remember I need to play that it’s been a while since I’ve played ck3 haven’t even dived into the G Game
Of Thrones mod anyway we’ve won Victory man so many strategy games so little time time there’s not enough time in the day all right so we’ll end things there God be decimating them have here today Baldwin de blur Jeffrey cap victorious in a fight anger is as good as courage a Welsh
Proverb so we’ve managed to take Livin and or exterminates it doesn’t matter and yep we’ve been excommunicated but it’s not going to matter because oh my God everyone hates me the end of the dynasty yep we just need to take Jerusalem all right well 150 turns um

I love your channel
Wait England is in a state of civil war, and the French of taking advantage? Welcome the entire history of Medeival England. You'll be hard pressed to find a time when England did not face a civil war, or a war with France. For that matter, you'll be hard to find a time when France wasn't in a state of civil war and at war with England.
Is there a how to install video?
Hey simpzy there is a new mod from Atilla fire forge empire the mod fix the vanilla campaign make it an historical accurate especially the units etc..etc.. and there is a new faction example the gallic british roman campaign, the units are sexy its like you gonna masturb@te if you see those.
I am impressed by the complete success of your campaign with the Kingdom of England. I play this mod a lot myself – and participate in it – and I really struggle in VH/VH mode. Currently my campaign against the Cumans seems desperate: either I reduce my garrisons in the conquered cities and the latter revolt and expel me, or my finances sink into the depths…
I also test the kingdom of France and since the Germanic empire attacks me, I only survive by miracle by emerging victorious from much larger armies which gradually end up eroding my territory…
Maybe playing in England is easier?
Prince Henry was the heir because he inherited the claim through his mother's line. Geoffrey married into the house of Normandy. his wife, Matilda, was daughter of Henry I.
I like your pronunciations better. Diabolis sounds so much cooler than "de-blah". Diabolis is like an end game boss or something.
I like Rome 2 bettter less game crash’s lol I like to watch u play a have this game on my Xbox
