00:00:00.000 Greetings you proud sons of Rome. Today we're gonna do God's work and I
00:00:16.120 thought this battle would be very interesting considering how much I've
00:00:20.460 been talking about Christianity versus paganism and as it is a reoccurring team
00:00:25.680 I thought that the battle of the frigidus river would be very appropriate for me
00:00:33.060 to play as I am on the wrong side as it were since I am a pagan myself but as I
00:00:38.060 always say like I have a lot of true friends who are Christians and you can
00:00:40.980 be a true friend and a Christian as well and as always I will remind you all that
00:00:45.000 I have my no less than two necklaces a necklace I don't know you say it really
00:00:52.360 they have a cross and the Allfather himself it's one necklace I have the
00:00:59.480 other one is you've seen this before the hammer of Thor and the cross of the
00:01:10.680 Christians so the frigidus river I've actually played it on very hard already
00:01:16.720 I will just go with hard now because it is much much harder to be interactive and
00:01:24.100 to make a cool let's play then when you're just by yourself and playing so
00:01:29.500 that's the reason for it and that's also the reason sometimes my performance
00:01:33.600 isn't isn't the best when I play ladies but as you see here conflict arose within
00:01:41.100 the Roman Senate due to the Christianization of the Empire after
00:01:44.760 gaining power in the West Flavius Eugenius appointed pagan senators to keep
00:01:50.580 positions in the government taking umbrage Theodosius Emperor of the East
00:01:55.440 attacked at the frigidus river and now we see Theodosius was a devout
00:02:02.340 Christian so he couldn't have none of that pagan paganism and then also I am I'm
00:02:11.040 merely speculating now but I suppose it was a a bit of a show-off between the
00:02:17.520 Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire where the Eastern Romans tried
00:02:21.960 to solidify their power as the the better of the two so we're gonna go into the
00:02:27.900 battle right now and you see they are and we have visigothic allies but they
00:02:35.760 outnumber our Romans I'm gonna start the battle right now for God himself all
00:02:46.020 right let's enjoy this cinematic true friends
00:02:50.700 pagan sympathizer Eugenius leader of the Western Empire contests the
00:02:56.420 christianization of Rome the Eastern Emperor Theodosius the first a devout
00:03:02.720 Christian has marched an army from the East to challenge Eugenius Theodosius
00:03:09.380 legions are bolstered by his visigothic allies led by their chieftain
00:03:13.520 Alaric the glorious the two sides finally clash on the banks of the frigidus river
00:03:18.980 the future of the Empire will be decided on this battlefield all right highly
00:03:25.920 glorious indeed let us let's take a moment
00:03:32.220 to admire the visigoths first my look at is the crack units of the visigoths and we
00:03:43.800 will actually do like this the key to this battle is taking out the general oh
00:03:50.880 Eugenius the glorious now the fun thing here is I I would actually rather have
00:03:56.580 been the pagans but I'm doing it for my Christian true friends and I actually have
00:04:00.660 a Christian true friend who is studying to be a priest so Joseph Edewald big shout out
00:04:07.740 to you much love from your from your semi pagan friend here but I will make you make all my
00:04:14.760 Christian true friends also shout out the patriarchy at Facebook so this is for you guys but let's not
00:04:24.960 get overconfident now we will we will try to win this battle here as well and the key to that lies
00:04:34.860 within taking out the general so I'm gonna send out my own cavalry in all
00:04:40.500 actuality to to try to as usual take out them as soon as soon as possible a lot of
00:04:49.860 SS there hard for Swedish guy to pronounce and also Alaric the first is our visigothic
00:04:57.860 ally and I've actually thought about naming one of my sons Alaric really cool name now it isn't a
00:05:07.880 common Swedish name or anything but if it ends with the Reek it can be quite quite common indeed
00:05:16.340 Frederick is common enough Swedish name actually and I know a guy called Gutrik also very very cool
00:05:25.100 and then another one of my sons called Gustav in all actuality Swedish Kings I'm gonna speed up the
00:05:38.180 gameplay just a bit now and okay they are responding to my advances there and we're gonna let the
00:05:52.760 divisigoths take the brunt there and we're just gonna sneak up behind them and see what the crack is
00:06:06.260 okay cool their general is all right let's let's speed speed them up and not the gameplay per se because
00:06:17.600 this will be crucial utilize heavy shot and on you as well and go time now brothers for God himself
00:06:34.940 now get out of boys
00:06:37.880 now corner get out of boys heavy melee cavalry and the key to the battle lies within taking out this general
00:06:56.780 oh there we are come on now glory to Rome and glory to God in heaven
00:07:06.920 glory and now the it would be prudent to walk in with the rest of my troops here
00:07:24.860 but as I said the key to battle lies here okay they're getting a lot of support there from their
00:07:34.800 infantry I'm still rocking my barbarian beard it would probably have been more suitable suited I
00:07:43.220 mean if I am if I was clean-shaven as it as according Roman ideals
00:07:49.160 gonna try to get get him don't you flee now corn aging is the punishment of God will be upon the
00:08:05.960 let's admire when he dies now yes glory to God in heaven
00:08:16.580 his false gods could not stop him save him I mean obviously
00:08:26.000 their their pagan gods could not stop the true father God I'm feeling a bit bad here to slay my my
00:08:40.540 pagan brothers like this actually okay so this went better than expected and this we should have the
00:08:48.460 battle now in all actuality should not be that much of a hustle when when a general is dead because
00:08:58.780 that that is the case when in total water to get the general and that's that's good it's really good
00:09:07.000 because when when you lose your leader you you don't know what to do and the morale is breaking
00:09:16.120 now what Alexander the Great did that was what made him so lovely always led the charge so the
00:09:25.300 men could draw inspiration from that he led from the front did not ask anything of his soldiers that
00:09:31.340 he wasn't willing to do himself and that obviously is is inspiring so it's good that they've taken that
00:09:37.120 kind of psychological thing into the game so that they aren't totally immune psychology as it were
00:09:49.140 they try to chase those guys we're gonna now that we have basically the game
00:10:04.000 battle in our pocket I won't say that yet but you can admire the action of it stand firm
00:10:15.240 palatina guards
00:10:19.960 it would be embarrassing if I lose now you know
00:10:28.540 when I talked about winning here but no I I should have this and this is about as Christian I get
00:10:39.220 but I will create I will start a new campaign with the Western Roman Empire
00:10:44.560 that's that's just something I want to do and
00:10:50.400 for me to have a good YouTube channel I need to do what I what I want to do myself
00:11:00.720 and no Alaric has been struck down how blasphemous blasphemy
00:11:08.400 and so and I'm really pumped up for that I realized that there's probably higher demand for
00:11:19.460 other things on my channel but you know it's it's rather me playing that just by myself because I want
00:11:28.820 to do it I I love Total War I've played Total War since since I was 14 that's 11 years ago
00:11:36.000 so I I really want it and I hope people can at least sense my my excitement for it
00:11:43.000 so that that's actually what's up but if you are if you are more into my other videos like I try to make a lot of videos regarding everything so it's not the case that I'm ever taking time out of other videos
00:12:05.000 other videos to make gaming videos or anything like that and for me to to make this historical a let's place like for this battle for example I
00:12:17.000 genuinely had no clue before I opened up Attila and said to myself like okay cool let's let's make um a let's play I had no idea about the frigidus river
00:12:28.000 I had no idea that the Western and Eastern Roman Empire actually clashed in open battle and that's something I really enjoy with with gaming as well that you learn so much so
00:12:40.000 um that's glorious that's really glorious I love that I'm gonna speed up the gameplay now so
00:12:47.000 um so we got this victory cool cool wonderful and um as I might have said like I I do try to this is a learning experience for me as well to concentrate on two things at the same time to concentrate on actually winning the battle and uh
00:13:09.000 and uh and being talkative and so uh that is uh progression in all funds
00:13:18.000 and I am looking at my beard right now don't know for how much more I will I will have it perhaps it would be more suitable if I made a barbarian campaign let's play uh with a beard and then when I'm romance I switch back to the clean shave again but we'll see
00:13:36.000 I'll uh I'll save shave it I mean during the during the summer all right let's uh
00:13:43.000 boom the last remnants
00:13:51.000 in God's name for God himself highly glorious
00:14:01.000 okay there you go to all of my Christian true friends I I dedicate it to you and
00:14:08.000 all right wonderful cool close victory Theodosius all I reckon Eugenius an epic clash
00:14:15.000 so thank you very much for watching feel free to come with any any comments
00:14:20.000 it might be fun for me to read otherwise drop uh a like if you like the video and
