Summary
Dr. Vlad Dracula was a man of many talents, but one of his greatest gifts was his ability to conjure up a plan to reclaim his kingdom from the Ottomans. In order to do so, he would need the help of the Knights of the Order of the Dragon.
Transcript
00:00:00.560
Post Vlad Dracula. Welcome back to good old Age of Empires 2. We will continue on the great
00:00:10.480
adventure of a true hero of Mother Europe. So we're gonna get straight into it in Episode 2,
00:00:20.480
Dracula knew that he needed to enlist the aid of the Hungarians against Vladislav the Serpent,
0.66
00:00:29.360
whose policies favored the Ottomans. He also remembered his education under the Crusading
00:00:37.440
Order of the Dragon and wanted to honor his vows. The Order was a powerful ally and their Crusader
00:00:47.120
knights would serve Dracula well against his enemies. As he paced the streets of the Moldavian
00:00:55.040
capital, Dracula mused over his plan to reclaim his kingdom. As the mysterious old man paused,
00:01:05.120
I rose up to take another slab of venison. The old man stared into the fire, watching the flames
00:01:14.320
dance as if they were soldiers involved in a raging battle. His eyes flashed again as a thought
00:01:21.920
entered his mind, and he grasped the majestic old soul. Meanwhile, Sultan Mehmed II had ascended to the
00:01:33.360
Ottoman throne. Dracula loved Mehmed from that time in Ederne, and he knew that the Turks would be a thorn in
0.99
00:01:42.000
his side for years to come. In 1453 they had conquered Constantinople, but they were presently occupied with
00:01:51.520
campaigns in Greece and Serbia. Bogdan II, Dracula's cousin and the new voivode of Moldovia, had heard of his
00:02:01.600
Kingsman's plight and offered his help. If Dracula could cross the Carpathian Mountains into Transylvania and
00:02:10.160
ally with Hungary, then they could launch a three-pronged assault on Vladislav II and the Turks.
0.80
00:02:17.680
Alright, so another epic introduction. And when I say Order of the Dragon, that is exactly the sort of
00:02:35.040
mythic mindset we need to have going forward. It makes everything so much more epic. So anyway,
00:02:41.920
we have Vlad Dracula must survive. Makes sense. And then we have hints. I will just read through
00:02:48.880
this. Okay, so his new technology tree is now Magyar. See, you can have a friendship between
00:02:56.480
Hungarians and Romanians. It's the only way forward. Bran Castle. Legendary. And again, Hungary will
1.00
00:03:06.640
offer an alliance if you can show your strength by reaching the Imperial Age. Alright, so I utilized a
00:03:13.120
little edit there. And just look at the graphics here. Absolutely wonderful.
00:03:29.280
...advice on how to reclaim Wallachia, my birthright.
00:03:33.680
It's a bulk, bruh. He's bloat maxing now Bogdan.
00:03:40.240
To the North West in the Transylvania forest lies the Bran Castle. A stronghold of the Order of the Dragon.
00:03:49.680
The Order of the Dragon. That has to be a title for a coming training video or
00:03:58.000
a Vital Hunt challenge or something like that. A too cool of a name to not use for anything productive.
00:04:09.680
But beware of the nasty troops on their own.
0.84
00:04:16.080
Now, let me tell you about my glorious weekend in the service of the nation.
00:04:24.160
So first, in Uppsala. Met some good lads. Had a great training session. Shoutout to all who were there.
00:04:33.280
It was absolutely joyous. Then, the next day, I went to the opposite side of Sweden.
00:04:39.760
To Göteborg, Gothenburg. Met some good men. Some good men from America and Switzerland as well.
00:04:49.040
Shoutout to you. It was a joyous session and day. Then, after...
00:04:55.600
Oh, damn. That's a... That is a brutal watchtower.
0.99
00:05:03.520
Anyway, then I went to ElgarÄs, it's called. A small little place in between
00:05:13.760
Göteborg and Stockholm. And I held a self-defense seminar. It was quite fun because it was
00:05:19.840
not my usual demographics. It was more females and it was more older individuals. So, yeah. That was
00:05:36.480
a new teaching experience. And when you teach, you learn yourself as well.
00:05:41.360
Uh, okay. Let's try to... Let's try to, um, box with these Vladislavians.
1.00
00:05:54.800
See what I'm doing now? I'm micromanaging so that they're chasing Vlad and my knights can hit
00:06:01.200
the spearmen. So anyway, that was my weekend. It... Oh.
00:06:06.480
I'm getting mugged by these archers. But, uh, cavalry is strong against archers. So yes,
00:06:13.920
that was my weekend in short, uh, terms. I did film some of the training, which will be up for a
00:06:26.560
Um, the training video log. So, yeah, links in the description for that. Some, uh, well,
00:06:35.040
mainly Thai boxing, uh, videos. Some bag work and some pad work. Good times. Then, of course,
00:06:41.600
I posted a short version on my Instagram as well, if you haven't already seen that.
00:06:50.480
Hold, friends. A large Dineshti force blocks the mountain pass.
1.00
00:06:58.880
If you were to slay the Dineshti general in command of the forward camp,
1.00
00:07:03.840
it may draw the attention of the army and lure them away.
00:07:15.120
I think I have mismanaged this start a little bit, but, um...
00:07:23.040
Oh. Dineshti general. Okay, I will try to manage this anyway.
0.87
00:08:03.680
Um, if I die now, I will have to restart everything and, um...
00:08:34.000
That would have been extremely silly if this episode was off to such a bad start.
00:08:40.800
Yes, I do think Vlad has died, but we can just pretend that he is wounded or something like that, and we'll continue on.
00:08:59.120
battles, and I played the Conquest of Cyprus by Richard Lionheart, and, uh, this was one of the, um...
00:09:12.880
Well, when you win the, uh, scenario, this came up.
00:09:16.720
And, uh, I was very happy to see that you had some, um...
00:09:32.320
Usually you would have something of the sort, like, oh, he's, he was such a brutal...
00:09:38.880
So, I was pleasantly surprised by the way they described it, described him as a legend, instead of
00:09:51.280
brutal king who only cared about glory, who only cared about glory, uh, so that was refreshing to see.
00:09:57.280
Uh, I tipped my pickle hub again to, uh, H-Vempires.
1.00
00:10:06.560
So, I suppose I will utilize a few edits in this video,
00:10:12.320
because it looks like it might be a long campaign, but I will check in in a little bit.
00:10:20.640
Okay, so, Bran Castle recruits paladins for us.
00:10:30.960
And, uh, again, it looks so great, and it captures the feel of mountainous region here.
00:10:44.160
And then we'll have to hit the Imperial Age, so the Hungarians will admire our strength,
1.00
00:11:03.120
So, basically, what I have now, since I have so much cavalry, I have to look out for their Spearmen,
00:11:10.320
of course, and being more mobile than the enemy makes it easier to avoid the Spearmen.
00:11:27.120
Now, I found a mining camp nearer to the town center, so we can shop some, not shop, uh, mine, I mean, of course.
00:11:43.440
I trained after a hectic weekend, as I said, of a lot, a lot of driving.
00:11:50.560
I was quite wrecked, uh, from just driving so much.
00:11:54.800
Um, I, uh, trained some push press and some light bench press, so that was my training session.
00:12:04.920
And I have seen this Moldavians, a little nice outpost there.
00:12:14.760
Maybe I can aid them with my knight here, if I can sink the ship.
00:12:22.520
Okay, I will probably die there, so, um, I sacrificed him for a good cause.
00:12:29.240
So, what we can do now, also, is actually, first and foremost, we need some, we need some wood.
00:12:41.960
So, just continuing to gather resources, gonna create some more knights.
00:12:53.160
And then I will just gather enough stone, so we can build a castle here, so that we are safe.
00:13:02.360
And again, if I wasn't clear with what I meant with the Richard the Lionheart thing is, um,
00:13:09.800
I found it so refreshing that they could just state this man was a legend.
00:13:14.840
And point to the positive things without having to talk about the fact that, oh,
00:13:21.880
this guy didn't spend so much time in England, so he was a bad king.
00:13:25.800
Uh, it's nice when people can just be positive.
00:13:29.000
Point out the good things, instead of having to nuance it all too much.
00:13:34.120
Of course, nuance is good sometimes, but, um, sometimes it can also be nice to give it a rest.
00:13:41.400
Right, so I just noticed that we can't actually build a castle.
00:13:45.640
But we need to build something fun, at least, to upgrade.
00:13:49.640
So, uh, I suppose we'll have to build a monastery, and...
00:13:55.640
We can use these mining camps to help clear away the rubble from that bridge.
0.86
00:14:02.760
Um, yeah, so, um, a university, I suppose, we can build too.
00:14:07.320
The order of the dragon is decadent and feeble.
00:14:15.320
Decadent and feeble, well, we will see about that, dear Vladislav.
00:14:21.640
I challenge you to come to, uh, to box with these high thumos lads.
00:14:27.880
We can build a monk as well, to heal our gallant soldiers.
00:14:39.480
Just gonna wait for this to be built, then we can upgrade and initiate an alliance with Hungary.
00:15:13.000
And as you can see, we couldn't build a castle, but I have built a lot of watchtowers instead.
00:15:18.280
And now, I will also upgrade our cavalry to cavalier.
00:15:33.720
Then we can upgrade this, which reduces the fee for tributes to 20%.
00:16:00.680
They didn't have all too much of an army, though.
00:16:03.960
But, um, I suppose it is, um, it's all good, anyway.
00:16:12.360
Now we can't build trebuchets anywhere, which is, of course, blasphemous, but it is what it is.
00:16:20.120
I will ride out with the order of the dragon and see if we can kill some, um, enemies.
00:16:29.240
You may have the support of the Hungarians, but I have the Ottomans behind me.
0.97
00:16:36.200
You will make a fine target for our gunners.
1.00
00:16:40.360
Vladislav, you are a traitor. I will hunt you down.
1.00
00:16:53.240
It looks quite cozy, though, so I'm not all too comfortable with actually destroying it.
00:17:05.080
Ah-ha, you can actually fight for this village. That's nice.
00:17:17.160
Now, let's see. Down here, I suppose, is where Vladislav is, um, is holed up.
00:17:25.880
We can't create a castle, build a castle, but perhaps we can build some sort of other fun thing,
00:17:38.600
such as a siege workshop or, um, something similar.
00:17:44.520
There comes a trebuchet, speaking of which. I will, um, see if I can hunt it down.
00:17:50.760
I stumbled upon a little fleet there. I need to run away.
00:18:14.120
Ah-ha, we can't build any military buildings at all.
00:18:26.120
I suppose. Perhaps we can build some sort of town center here somewhere.
00:18:59.400
Right, we have raised this little base to the ground.
00:19:16.360
Aha, they're sieging our Moldovan friends here.
1.00
00:19:22.120
See if we can figure out some way to deal with that.
0.94
00:19:45.800
It adds a bit of spice to the story, I suppose.
00:20:01.720
So if we could just get some more villagers down here.
00:20:28.200
Cavalier archers have one plus in range and one plus in damage.
00:20:36.120
Alright, I have assembled mighty force that I will besiege to the castle here.
00:20:47.720
Yeah, this little sea battle goes, well, somewhat according to plan at least.
00:21:04.360
Now we just have to defend this trebuchet at all costs.
0.99
00:21:24.280
So, as you might have noticed, I've utilized a few edits in this episode.
00:21:29.640
But now, since we're nearing the end of the episode, I suppose I will be talkative.
00:21:39.400
Now we just have to make sure that our trebuchets do not get wrecked here.
0.94
00:21:46.120
As we lay siege to Vladislav, the trash talkers.
0.98
00:21:56.920
So anyway, on another note, on a note of making videos, I do have quite a few
00:22:05.080
interesting, well I hope at least, videos incoming.
00:22:11.880
It's a vegan, well, you could perhaps say propaganda piece.
00:22:22.180
Then I will talk about mewing and mouth breeding.
00:22:39.640
Now, Vladislav, you will regret your foul words.
00:23:04.760
So I was about to utilize an edit, then get back to it.
00:23:20.520
Tenacity of mind can compensate for other disadvantages.
00:23:26.920
As Dracula slotted untold numbers of enemy troops,
00:23:32.280
the large circle of impaled men outside Dargavishta
00:23:37.000
grew to awe and disgust from the mix to come.
0.77
00:23:51.400
Barred, endless wars it was rife with corruption, crime and poverty.
00:24:00.360
I asked my host how Dracula managed to reform a ruined shell of a country so quickly.
00:24:08.920
The light flashed across the old man's eye again.
00:24:13.080
Dracula despised dishonesty and crime and sought to eliminate it.
00:24:17.960
He knew that Valachia had to become strong enough to face its enemies and soon.
00:24:43.080
And in next we'll go to the breath of the dragon.
00:24:47.720
And yeah, I utilized quite a few edits but I hope the episode was good enough anyway.
00:24:53.320
So, thank you for watching and stay tuned for coming videos.
