00:00:00.500 Greetings, Laddingtons! Welcome back to good old Hellas.
00:00:05.080 Now, I read through the comments on the last video and I saw actually that a few of you had recommended a book that I'm holding in my hand right now.
00:00:14.880 And I'm putting it up on the screen now as well.
00:00:18.440 Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.
00:00:23.860 And I actually have this in my library, but I have not read it yet.
00:00:29.000 It was actually a birthday gift I got from a mate of mine two and a half years ago.
00:00:37.360 And he is quite similar to myself.
00:00:41.900 He is training a lot of MMA.
00:00:44.960 Well, of course, I train more in the gym now, but he is into that at least.
00:00:49.680 And he is very much into history and philosophy, etc.
00:00:54.000 So he recommended that to me and gave it to me.
00:00:56.720 So, but I haven't read it yet.
00:00:58.960 But now that some of you reminded me of that book, I will definitely check that out.
00:01:06.020 So that is about good old Leonidas.
00:01:12.040 So very suitable to read now that I'm playing this game.
00:01:16.800 So I will continue to elaborate a bit on books after we have spoken to this fine gentleman.
00:01:22.660 Sopra.
00:01:23.100 This is not a place for a young girl. 1.00
00:01:42.540 You're too little, my girl.
00:01:46.540 Phoebe, you're not old enough. 0.91
00:01:49.360 I can't look after you all the time.
00:01:51.420 I can look after myself.
00:01:52.980 I don't need anyone to help me.
00:01:56.060 Oh, but you do.
00:01:57.660 You do.
00:01:58.240 Even if that were true, it's not your time.
00:02:00.940 But there wouldn't be any trouble.
00:02:02.880 Promise.
00:02:03.240 Promise.
00:02:03.480 If I can't come, then take Hara.
00:02:11.300 Hara?
00:02:12.380 My pet eagle.
00:02:13.800 She's my friend.
00:02:15.140 Mother gave her to me.
00:02:16.060 That's sweet of her.
00:02:16.780 But she'll be your friend now.
00:02:19.240 And it'll be like I'm there with you.
00:02:21.260 You know?
00:02:22.180 To remind you of me.
00:02:24.020 Thanks, Phoebe.
00:02:24.720 Besides, I love Kine to play with.
00:02:31.220 Since you saved her.
00:02:32.780 Go easy on her.
00:02:34.320 She may still be shaky with the fever.
00:02:36.260 But you have to promise we'll see each other again.
00:02:44.320 Hmm.
00:02:44.840 We have some...
00:02:46.140 Some dilemmas here.
00:02:47.680 This is a bit too...
00:02:49.680 Too mean.
00:02:51.080 Too...
00:02:51.600 Well, I suppose it's the truth as well.
00:02:53.540 But we might come back.
00:02:54.460 So, um...
00:02:55.460 I'll go with this one.
00:02:57.100 I'll hope I'll see you again.
00:03:06.000 Zeus will sit.
00:03:07.080 Alexios!
00:03:14.080 Leaving Kefalonia without saying goodbye to your dear Marcos?
00:03:18.040 Tell me it isn't true.
00:03:19.620 Well, you're here now.
00:03:20.960 So, it won't be true.
00:03:23.420 Goodbye, Marcos.
00:03:24.620 Well said.
00:03:25.580 Well said, Alexios.
00:03:26.400 Dynamic duo.
00:03:27.640 I'll never replace you.
00:03:29.760 Well, I may need another assistant someday.
00:03:32.440 But it won't be easy.
00:03:34.020 Come now.
00:03:35.240 Give me a hug.
00:03:40.660 Alright, bro.
00:03:41.640 Give me a bro hug here.
00:03:43.040 Come here.
00:03:43.760 Yes, bring it in.
00:03:45.380 Oh, will I ever miss you, Alexios?
00:03:47.980 Thanks, Marcos.
00:03:49.800 I'll miss you, too.
00:03:51.040 And what does the future hold for you?
00:03:53.460 Wine!
00:03:54.160 Of course!
00:03:55.120 Though, you never know when the vines will wither.
00:03:57.920 I'm always ready for another adventure.
00:04:00.240 Speaking of adventure, I have a task for you, dear Phoebe.
00:04:07.140 An adventure?
00:04:08.160 Yes!
00:04:09.520 Already following in your footsteps, isn't she, my friend?
00:04:20.080 Ready to set sail?
00:04:23.700 Let's go, bro.
00:04:24.640 Prepare to cast off.
00:04:26.440 It's time to leave.
00:04:27.560 Good!
00:04:28.040 The tides wait for neither man nor woman. 0.71
00:04:31.400 Time to go.
00:04:33.440 Let's go, champ. 0.99
00:04:41.660 So, what course do we set?
00:04:44.700 Where in this big, beautiful world does the mighty Alexios want to go?
00:04:50.380 Megaris.
00:04:52.580 Megaris? 0.96
00:04:53.560 But we'll be sailing into war.
00:04:55.360 I got a contract for some general's head.
00:04:58.480 Whose head?
00:05:00.140 They call him the wolf.
00:05:02.540 The wolf?
00:05:03.920 Who wants Nicolaus of Sparta dead?
00:05:06.700 Nicolaus of Sparta.
00:05:09.720 Uh-oh.
00:05:11.160 This is not boding well.
00:05:13.720 The oracle has spoken.
00:05:18.880 To prevent Sparta's fall, the child must fall first. 0.89
00:05:28.180 You can't.
00:05:28.680 You can't let this happen.
00:05:31.120 Please. 1.00
00:05:32.340 Shoot her no harm. 1.00
00:05:33.680 She'll help us. 1.00
00:05:34.980 She will lead us.
00:05:36.060 Silence!
00:05:36.620 Silence!
00:05:37.120 Silence!
00:05:49.280 Oh, no.
00:05:52.700 Stop! 1.00
00:05:54.080 No!
00:05:54.440 You can't!
00:05:57.180 No!
00:06:02.320 Uh-oh.
00:06:06.060 No!
00:06:07.700 No!
00:06:08.040 No!
00:06:08.540 No!
00:06:13.540 Marla! 0.95
00:06:15.100 He has killed him!
00:06:16.320 Don't see him over! 0.99
00:06:21.320 Pay for his dishonor! For the life he has snubbed!
00:06:24.320 Look at me, Nikolaus!
00:06:26.320 He is no Spartan, Nikolaus!
00:06:28.320 Don't listen!
00:06:30.320 Nikolaus!
00:06:32.320 Don't listen!
00:06:34.320 No!
00:06:38.320 No!
00:06:40.320 Don't listen!
00:06:42.320 Nikolaus!
00:06:46.320 Why?
00:06:54.320 Father!
00:06:56.320 Nikolaus!
00:06:58.320 Stop! 1.00
00:07:00.320 Nikolaus!
00:07:02.320 No!
00:07:04.320 Nikolaus!
00:07:08.320 Nikolaus, look at me!
00:07:10.320 Look at me, Nikolaus!
00:07:12.320 Don't! 0.57
00:07:14.320 Don't listen! 0.96
00:07:20.320 Your blood is tainted! 1.00
00:07:22.320 Rid yourself of this poison!
00:07:24.320 Butter?
00:07:34.320 No!
00:07:35.320 Butter!
00:07:36.320 No!
00:07:37.320 My baby!
00:07:38.320 Alexios!
00:07:40.320 Alexios!
00:07:42.320 Alexios!
00:07:44.320 No!
00:07:50.320 Wow!
00:07:51.320 An intense...
00:07:52.320 Intense scene, indeed!
00:07:54.320 But I don't understand!
00:07:56.320 Of all the places under Ilius!
00:07:58.320 Why risk our necks to go there?
00:08:04.320 The wolf of Sparta is my father!
00:08:08.320 The plot thickens!
00:08:10.320 The plot thickens!
00:08:12.320 Yeah, he was obviously just looking out for his baby sister!
00:08:16.320 Have to admire that!
00:08:18.320 Obviously a complex story behind, I assume!
00:08:24.320 But I think he was a good boy in that scenario!
00:08:30.320 The wolf of Sparta!
00:08:32.320 The wolf of Sparta!
00:08:34.320 The wolf of Sparta!
00:08:36.320 The wolf of Sparta!
00:08:38.320 Nothing like a sea breeze!
00:08:40.320 Does the deck always feel like it's moving?
00:08:42.320 I've got the perfect opportunity for you to get your sea legs!
00:08:48.320 Oh?
00:08:49.320 What would that be?
00:08:50.320 Well, when the Cyclops was giving me a drumming, his pirates took my cargo!
00:08:55.320 I know their ship, and I know where they're heading!
00:08:59.320 What say we get it back?
00:09:01.320 Sure!
00:09:02.320 It'll be a good opportunity to see how your ship and crew perform!
00:09:06.320 All right there!
00:09:08.320 Let's get moving!
00:09:09.320 Right, let's take command! 0.99
00:09:13.320 Fortunately, since I played Origins, I should know how...
00:09:17.320 How this goes!
00:09:21.320 Oh, look at that!
00:09:22.320 We have leveled up too!
00:09:23.320 How nice!
00:09:27.320 Ah, look at that!
00:09:28.320 Beautiful!
00:09:29.320 And we see the Zeus statue!
00:09:32.320 Also, I saw some fun comments that I was talking about the author, Harry's sidebottom
00:09:38.320 while I was climbing up the actual bottom of the Zeus statue!
00:09:42.320 That was not...
00:09:44.320 That was an accident, I assure you!
00:09:46.320 I did not even think about it!
00:09:48.320 But in retrospect, I suppose it was a quite funny coincidence!
00:09:54.320 Either way, I thought to mention something about God of War by...
00:10:04.320 by Christine Cameron!
00:10:06.320 Um...
00:10:07.320 I was a bit younger...
00:10:09.320 Well, I mean, I was a few years younger, so...
00:10:12.320 Yeah, a few years ago, I read it!
00:10:15.320 So I might have...
00:10:16.320 There she is!
00:10:17.320 How?
00:10:18.320 How?
00:10:19.320 How?
00:10:20.320 How?
00:10:21.320 How?
00:10:22.320 How?
00:10:23.320 How?
00:10:24.320 How?
00:10:25.320 How?
00:10:26.320 How?
00:10:27.320 How?
00:10:28.320 How?
00:10:29.320 How?
00:10:30.320 How?
00:10:31.320 How?
00:10:32.320 How?
00:10:33.320 How?
00:10:34.320 How?
00:10:35.320 How?
00:10:36.320 How?
00:10:37.320 How?
00:10:38.320 How?
00:10:39.320 How?
00:10:40.320 How?
00:10:41.320 How?
00:10:42.320 How?
00:10:43.320 How?
00:10:44.320 How?
00:10:46.320 How?
00:10:47.320 How?
00:10:48.320 How?
00:10:56.320 I don't know about the historical accuracy of any of this, but that's
00:11:02.600 of this but that's at least something also a comment from the last video
00:11:08.840 mentioned and I thought to mention that again so so you don't get that book and
00:11:18.860 then see some some heresies but overall I remember it was a good book let's go
00:11:26.720 champs boom but of us shipments
00:11:34.840 I lost a couple good men in the scrap with those pirates the seas are more
00:11:40.580 dangerous now that sparta and Athens are at each other's throats we need new
00:11:45.840 recruits to better our crew I know where to start the best archer I know it'd be a 0.95
00:11:51.860 valuable asset when can we meet him well you're going to have to persuade him
00:11:57.680 what do you mean you'll get them aboard and I'll talk him into it a little track
00:12:03.560 me should sweeten the deal so you want me to knock him out no no well maybe just
00:12:11.180 pacify him and get him to the ship so we can have a little talk everything will
00:12:17.180 be fine I promise you
00:12:23.000 all right nice with a sea chant as well so I thought to mention something else I
00:12:31.340 saw in a comment and that was a true friend asked if I had read the Raven
00:12:37.800 trilogy by Gilles Christian yes I have and I have actually made a book
00:12:43.160 recommendation about those books and this was a few years back I got up the
00:12:48.920 question then if I had any good Viking book recommendations and then I said him
00:12:54.020 and yet again as I mentioned in the last video Bernard Cornwell yes Gilles
00:12:59.000 Christian good author good author indeed I can definitely recommend him then I got a
00:13:07.040 question about if I have any good fantasy books and I have plenty the first one I
00:13:11.300 mentioned was Joe Abercrombie he has a very particular writing style does Joe
00:13:23.060 Abercrombie was up to get the lay of the land he'll spot my target all right there
00:13:30.140 we have him I suppose but yeah a good recommendation right there Joe Abercrombie
00:13:41.900 I will let jump down in the nice water here looks nice to swim around in it so also I hope the frame
00:13:54.900 rate is loyal this time I had a bit of a problem with with it for a nice and I
00:14:00.780 could play on right I'm gonna do the following first I could play on very high
00:14:11.460 with my GTX 1060 without any problem but obviously it's a bit different when I
00:14:16.900 also have to record it so I suppose that's the issue there swift dagger boom didn't even know that I had it
00:14:28.660 and oh look at that Chalkadian don't know how to pronounce that or a 0.99
00:14:40.420 sparta okay the sparta one is more epic so let's definitely go for that and then we
00:14:47.780 have some new armor look at that double armor absolutely joyous if anything
00:14:54.660 I'm going to abilities see what the crack is here I suppose we'll have to progress further in the story
00:15:07.500 there second wind all right that sounds like a good idea can assign it to second right let's let's do
00:15:23.760 this whoop oh look at that helmets absolutely aesthetic
00:15:28.760 I have to enter power gaming mode so I will not be as talkative
00:15:38.760 hey
00:15:45.760 menyiture
00:15:47.760 themselves
00:15:48.760 ena
00:15:49.760 up
00:15:50.760 du 0.98
00:15:51.760 ena
00:15:53.760 e
00:15:58.760 wo
00:15:59.760 ha
00:16:00.760 00 1.00
00:16:05.360 Die, unbeliever. 1.00
00:16:13.260 These guys have blasphemed against RS.
00:16:18.760 And thus, they needed to be illuminated to the primordial truth.
00:16:25.880 Hello, mate. I want to kick this individual. 0.99
00:16:30.800 Boom. That was very aesthetic of me. 0.99
00:16:35.360 Look at this. Absolutely, absolute mad cunt is all I have to say about that. 1.00
00:16:45.420 I can't quicksave, unfortunately, but it seems that I've survived the worst of it, at least. 1.00
00:16:51.440 A Corinthian helmet.
00:17:03.580 And yeah, quite fun, since I answered the question what my favorite helmets are in a recent Q&A.
00:17:11.020 I've got the question of who my favorite Roman emperor was and what my favorite helmets are.
00:17:18.160 I always get good questions from my supporters.
00:17:22.500 But what should we actually do here?
00:17:28.940 We're supposed to talk with someone.
00:17:33.880 If I am... Was this this guy?
00:17:37.220 No, that's a skeleton.
00:17:38.400 You can recruit any soldier on the island.
00:17:47.680 Uh-huh.
00:17:48.440 Alright, so maybe this was just a little hideout for some bandits. 0.99
00:18:06.420 So I suppose we'll have to go to the main island to recruit some mad cunts to fight for us. 0.99
00:18:12.000 We'll have to train our pull-up game here. 0.94
00:18:19.880 It didn't go well. I had to kill him. 1.00
00:18:23.280 Maybe we won't try for a pirate next time. 0.96
00:18:26.000 There'll be plenty more people we can recruit in the future.
00:18:29.420 The gods will provide us with the opportunities we need.
00:18:32.820 Of that I am sure.
00:18:34.500 We should set a course for Megaris. 0.91
00:18:36.480 A long voyage can be relaxing.
00:18:40.460 But we are not really the cruising type.
00:18:42.920 If you want to spice things up a bit, you can always check my log over there.
00:18:47.540 I make a note of anything I hear that could be of interest to a daring captain.
00:18:53.940 Alright, mate. That sounds glorious.
00:18:59.620 Dock ship.
00:19:06.480 All right. Let's go, champs.
00:19:22.340 Let's set the pace high on this ship.
00:19:27.400 And that will give me an excellent opportunity to elaborate on some books, I suppose.
00:19:41.240 So what I'm currently reading at the moment is actually three books.
00:19:49.800 The first one is something I started a while back.
00:19:55.640 A really mammoth of a book, which a true friend gave me.
00:20:00.360 Shout out to you. Thank you.
00:20:02.320 Looks like this. Putting it up on the screen too.
00:20:04.780 Quite good fantasy as well.
00:20:06.660 So I'm almost finished with that.
00:20:08.540 And then I also am reading Garrow, Weapon of Fate, in Horus Heresy.
00:20:17.000 Because I am, as you all know, I'm a great fan of the Horus Heresy. 0.76
00:20:22.180 And then, as a non-fiction book, I'm reading Weston Price's Physical Degeneration book.
00:20:30.820 And that I will actually have to read well before my daughter arrives.
00:20:37.720 Aha, we have a little mission here.
00:20:42.960 Just going to see what the crack is.
00:20:47.000 All right, I utilized a little edit there.
00:20:54.900 I didn't realize that we had to destroy these heretics in order to progress in the storyline. 1.00
00:21:02.440 So power gaming mode initiated. 0.89
00:21:06.120 I'm going to try to get these Athenians. 1.00
00:21:10.000 So yes, the classical war between a land-based aristocracy, a.k.a. Sparta,
00:21:19.000 versus a mercantile naval-based power, such as Athens.
00:21:25.480 You can find these sort of examples throughout history.
00:21:28.620 Quite interesting.
00:21:30.000 Germany versus Great Britain in First World War, for example.
00:21:33.040 Where we have Germany as the land-based power, and Great Britain, obviously. 0.87
00:21:45.500 A bit more mercantile naval-based power.
00:21:52.700 Now, let's see.
00:21:55.520 They will try to ram us.
00:21:56.960 Not good.
00:21:59.020 Not good.
00:21:59.800 Ah, they missed.
00:22:00.820 Great.
00:22:02.980 Great mate. 1.00
00:22:13.360 Ah, damn. 0.99
00:22:15.040 That's not good at all. 0.99
00:22:16.920 I need archers.
00:22:19.640 Come on, mates.
00:22:28.100 Ah.
00:22:29.340 Right, can we initiate a porting here, perhaps?
00:22:31.220 Follow my lead.
00:22:37.300 Ah, right.
00:22:43.160 Let's go, champs.
00:22:46.920 Come on, charge them. 1.00
00:22:49.680 Boom, there we are.
00:23:02.800 Nice one, mate.
00:23:06.560 Aha, he isn't...
00:23:09.940 There we are.
00:23:13.160 We can loot.
00:23:16.920 But, uh...
00:23:17.880 Can we...
00:23:18.800 Ah, they were.
00:23:25.340 One ship down.
00:23:26.420 Let's get the other ones. 0.89
00:23:29.180 And, uh...
00:23:30.140 If I'm a bit noobish here, it's obviously because this is the first time I'm doing this in this particular game.
00:23:40.280 But, anyway.
00:23:41.260 Let's illuminate these heretics.
00:23:43.300 So, obviously, the advantage if you're a naval power, sea-based power, is that you can almost always get in supplies if you control the seas and you control the trade lanes.
00:24:00.000 You're much more durable, uh, with a constant shortages of food, uh, etc., whereas if you're a land-based power and your agriculture is being ravaged by land, by raids, etc., uh, you will obviously not be as durable.
00:24:18.740 Ah, we can't even reach them.
00:24:23.920 This is...
00:24:24.740 This is blasphemous.
00:24:26.760 Perhaps we can ram them.
00:24:30.020 Let's see.
00:24:34.800 Yes, go on, lads.
00:24:41.080 Boom.
00:24:42.520 Maybe we can ram this guy, too.
00:24:44.120 Let's go!
00:24:46.260 Nah, not quite.
00:24:48.740 Let's go!
00:25:06.520 Hurry up, men. 0.70
00:25:07.700 Maybe we should
00:25:21.160 board this guy
00:25:24.240 or maybe we should wait
00:25:27.140 a bit until we have maybe
00:25:29.000 taken this guy.
00:25:37.700 Since I've initiated power gaming mode, that's why I'm not as talkative.
00:25:50.700 Maybe we can ram
00:26:07.200 this guy again.
00:26:19.700 Yes, go on lads.
00:26:24.400 Go on then.
00:26:29.600 Huh, that was a bit of a fail.
00:26:32.800 To be perfectly honest.
00:26:39.300 Look at that.
00:26:41.300 He died a heroic death
00:26:45.300 in the name of his gods.
00:26:53.800 There we are.
00:26:55.800 Alright, I utilized yet another edit there.
00:26:59.300 Just because it was an extremely grindy
00:27:02.300 fight.
00:27:03.300 It's going to finish you off. 0.90
00:27:04.300 Boom.
00:27:05.300 There we are.
00:27:06.300 And, yeah.
00:27:07.800 So, that will have to conclude this fine episode, I suppose.
00:27:14.800 And, thank you for watching and I hope you had some, got some good book advice from watching
00:27:24.300 it.
00:27:25.300 So, talk to Nikolaus.
00:27:29.300 Nikolaus.
00:27:30.300 Uh, we'll pick up here in the next episode, which will be out tomorrow then.
00:27:37.800 Boom.
00:27:38.800 Boom.
00:27:39.800 Boom.
00:27:40.300 Boom.
