00:00:00.000 Greetings our glorious sons of the old father and welcome back to the epic north where we're
00:00:16.080 trying to carve out a viking kingdom of eternal glory with our geats. So I picked up not quite
00:00:25.740 where I left off because I've taken a good few turns. I have only auto-resolved the combat so you
00:00:30.120 haven't missed anything really glorious. We have taken Rygion and we have taken Havn from the Danes.
00:00:37.100 So the Danes are here lurking about as it were in all actuality and they have also the eagles up here
00:00:44.180 who are you know a bit of a menace. We have to be careful with what we do. So that's basically what
00:00:49.600 is up right there. And then we can look at diplomacy as well. We have in all actuality. I would try to
00:00:58.460 create as much friendly as many friends as possible as it were. So the Angles are our true friends.
00:01:06.360 The Burgundians are also our true friends. Danes are at war. The Irish obviously my true friends.
00:01:13.120 the Jutes the same. And the Rugians the Saxons. So we got a little friendship up here in the north
00:01:23.140 in all actuality. So I'm gonna try to keep it that way. Then I have I sent down one fleet here to do
00:01:31.900 some conquest. And you see Britain. The Britain is actually now a an own faction. Our glorious Nordic
00:01:41.080 Jutish brothers have taken a settlement there. Londinium is now Western Roman rebels. The Franks the
00:01:51.020 cheeky cons have taken this settlement that was that was ours by birthright. So I have actually
00:01:58.080 done like this. I've landed with an army. The icicles of blood outside of this Frankish settlement.
00:02:03.100 So I'm gonna try to take that. Then perhaps get a get a grip on Britain as well. I want I want in on
00:02:10.940 those fertile lands. And we can actually look at a little history lesson right now. I'm gonna look at
00:02:18.760 fertility. Now let's see. Attitude. Region wealth. Public order. Region growth. Religion.
00:02:31.720 Fertility. And the reason. Like this is before the Vikings but also the Vikings. They want the
00:02:38.760 fertile lands of the British Isles and the fertile lands of here. And you see here not as fertile.
00:02:44.480 So then they moved south in great numbers. So that's basically something to keep in mind.
00:02:50.680 Like the Vikings weren't only out to plunder and wreak chaos. They wanted fertile lands. And there was
00:02:55.340 fertile lands in British Isles. So I'm gonna take the turn now and see what in all actuality happens.
00:03:02.000 So I'm gonna take this. Load up some glorious Lindvald's coffee as well.
00:03:08.720 Highly sickening. And there the Franks come back to try to salvage their settlement. And then the Danes
00:03:16.520 there try to act if it's mischievous against us. Highly blasphemous. And I have here, perhaps I've shown you
00:03:25.260 this in the past. It is a hammer of Thor and a cross signifying my pride as a Norseman with our unity
00:03:33.020 as European Christians. But I'm still more pagan and Christian. Christian is more like the true
00:03:39.700 friend. Like many true friend nations are Christian. But I myself am more like the chosen of Thor and the
00:03:46.860 son of the Allfather as it were. Really proud of my Nordic heritage. And especially when you game
00:03:52.800 games like this. I just get so excited for life. So I really like, love games like this. I get so
00:04:00.720 excited to pump up in the gym and just become glorious like. All right. Utilize a little edit
00:04:08.600 there. And we see the blasphemous Danes. They couldn't just leave us alone. So they have
00:04:14.400 started raiding their own ancestral territories. So we're gonna try to deal with those in all
00:04:22.060 actuality. And in the spirit of glory, we're actually gonna start off this episode by taking
00:04:36.300 this glorious settlement for the glory of the Allfather. So the Franks, we will just steamroll them
00:04:43.140 and take what's theirs. So we're gonna try to get a foothold here on the Frisian coast. So we can
00:04:51.780 stage more invasions towards the fertile lands of what is soon about to become England. And then
00:04:59.300 perhaps some Gaulish territory as well. So you see, I showed you the rain suits me just fine.
00:05:06.100 Now, Allfather, I love you. No sense in... We're just gonna rush in. So yeah, as I showed you in the
00:05:22.340 diplomacy map, we are friendly with basically all other Germanic and Nordic tribes. And this means
00:05:30.180 that we have to look elsewhere to conquer stuff. But that's fine. We're out for the fertile lands of
00:05:47.300 the south, in all actuality. Men of the north. Glory to the Allfather.
00:06:01.380 We're gonna try to burn down their Blasmus Towers as well. And this is our glorious Gauthi.
00:06:18.740 They are trying to take out our general. Defend him. We must defend our general, true friends.
00:06:31.860 How dare they talk to our general like that.
00:06:43.380 Let's admire... Oh, you're only standing there. Come on and get in the battle.
00:06:48.740 We will pierce their hearts... We will pierce their hearts.
00:07:00.260 Let's admire the action from this angle a bit. Wow, look at this though.
00:07:07.140 This, true friends. This is glorious. Oh well, no time to admire the action because we have a battle
00:07:15.540 battle to win here.
00:07:18.340 Now Talos, I love you!
00:07:21.620 Look at, look how bleak and horrible it is. Really...
00:07:26.900 Really the dark ages in approaching.
00:07:30.900 Fighting against some, uh...
00:07:35.940 Cavalry units right there.
00:07:37.300 All right in Vancouver, we have broken the enemy there.
00:07:43.380 I see the long ships. Long ships on the horizon.
00:07:47.860 We're gonna try to get into the settlement.
00:07:50.740 To make a stand there.
00:07:56.500 All right, true friends. I utilized a little edit until we got in.
00:07:59.860 We're gonna try to burn down their towers.
00:08:03.220 Man of the North.
00:08:05.460 We're gonna try to look at the possibility of acquiring glory in the name of the Old Father.
00:08:10.820 Now Olden, I love you!
00:08:14.900 Look at Fair Maiden also. And look how glorious they are.
00:08:18.580 They're killing the Blasphemous Franks. How dare they talk to us like that?
00:08:27.140 And the...
00:08:32.740 They are...
00:08:33.860 Are they...
00:08:34.340 Routing? How dare they rout like that?
00:08:36.500 Germanic Hunters.
00:08:43.380 All right then. Here they come. Where are our units?
00:08:49.700 Get at them, boys.
00:08:53.620 Ah, cool. We have destroyed the enemy tower.
00:08:58.100 Gonna try to get around them.
00:09:01.860 Men of the North.
00:09:02.980 We have hunted down. And look this.
00:09:10.580 This is glorious. Right here.
00:09:14.500 Ah, look at that.
00:09:16.420 Myrin. Myrin action.
00:09:21.780 The ancestors see us today.
00:09:23.300 Did they break now?
00:09:25.060 Yep, they did.
00:09:26.260 They broke away from the superior might of the Geats.
00:09:30.500 Let's see how it goes with this guy.
00:09:40.820 And there we are. We have captured the center square.
00:09:52.580 Frankish Marines.
00:09:54.820 How glorious.
00:10:07.380 I'm gonna try to surround them now and just hack them down.
00:10:12.340 Some strategical advice.
00:10:14.340 Always surround.
00:10:15.460 Always go for the rear.
00:10:16.980 As you get an attack bonus.
00:10:18.660 Same for basically every...
00:10:20.980 Every game ever.
00:10:23.940 Okay, we have broken them right there.
00:10:30.660 I'm kind of broken and I'm fleeing.
00:10:33.540 No.
00:10:33.780 How dare they not die.
00:10:49.380 Now let's see.
00:10:50.180 Okay, we got Frankish Marines right there.
00:10:55.060 They are quite good.
00:10:56.260 All right, it looks like the battle is turning in our favor.
00:11:04.020 I'm gonna try to...
00:11:05.860 All right, now they're broken.
00:11:07.460 Yes, there we are.
00:11:08.820 Beautiful.
00:11:11.540 End battle.
00:11:12.180 Pyrrhic victory.
00:11:17.140 God.
00:11:18.020 Yeah, that was a Pyrrhic victory.
00:11:19.380 Indeed, we lost quite a few units actually.
00:11:23.140 But we have gained their settlement.
00:11:26.660 And thus our foothold.
00:11:29.220 And we're gonna try to take Kamuludunum also.
00:11:32.180 Kamuludunum.
00:11:34.900 Pyrrhic victory.
00:11:36.660 And look, here is the...
00:11:38.340 We can raise it.
00:11:39.300 We can occupy it.
00:11:40.260 We can loot and occupy.
00:11:42.340 And then we can get a good bit of gold actually.
00:11:48.820 But we're gonna look at occupying the settlement in all actuality.
00:11:53.620 So that we don't get that much penalty afterwards, as it were.
00:12:03.700 All right, highly sickening.
00:12:05.140 We have gained a settlement.
00:12:08.180 And we can repair those later on.
00:12:14.100 And you see here, the Britain has actually landed with a large force here up in the north.
00:12:20.900 Which is quite disturbing, to be honest.
00:12:23.620 So yeah, we have this little problem to attend to as well.
00:12:35.940 You see, they have a good few units there.
00:12:44.260 And then the Eagle's there.
00:12:45.140 So I don't really want to move that army.
00:12:48.740 We got a huge, like, a large enough fleet, I'd say, at least.
00:12:53.780 So we're gonna take a turn and see what the crack is next turn and see what happens.
00:12:59.460 We're gonna replenish these guys as well.
00:13:05.060 Warhounds?
00:13:05.940 No.
00:13:07.060 Nordic bows.
00:13:07.780 It's a good life.
00:13:09.780 Sounds cool, I suppose.
00:13:12.820 Gonna recruit some more here also.
00:13:20.900 Agi.
00:13:24.340 Cunning.
00:13:25.540 That sounds perfect.
00:13:27.940 But right, cool.
00:13:28.820 So yeah, I, um, first impressions of, um, of Attila.
00:13:34.900 Fucking glorious game.
00:13:35.940 Like, really captured that, this bleak, and bleak time full of despair.
00:13:44.580 Whereas Rome Total War II was more like the sun was shining and the glory was on the horizon.
00:13:54.260 Here is only death and despair and destruction, decay.
00:13:58.740 The, uh, the Romans are just crumbling.
00:14:01.220 And it will also be interesting to continue on with my Western Roman Empire campaign.
00:14:09.700 And see how that goes to be on the other side of things.
00:14:13.060 And, uh, then also I might, if I twitch, I might start a campaign with the Saxons or something like that.
00:14:20.260 Just, just for the crack like.
00:14:22.580 Okay, greetings.
00:14:23.860 I have brought a gift from my people in order that we may improve relation.
00:14:28.500 Accept the gift, of course.
00:14:30.100 Why wouldn't I accept it?
00:14:31.460 Right, we can choose a technology to research.
00:14:45.780 Construction cost, minus fem percent, five percent, that was Swedish, fem.
00:14:51.300 For industrial buildings might be something.
00:14:55.460 We're gonna go with that.
00:14:56.900 So get, uh, well balanced things.
00:15:00.020 And they are...
00:15:04.100 They are not raiding anymore.
00:15:06.740 That's interesting.
00:15:09.300 And now you see the Rugians have landed.
00:15:12.500 Perhaps they want to make, do battle with, um, the Dancer.
00:15:17.700 And you see military access.
00:15:19.700 I'm gonna look at the possibility of...
00:15:22.020 Greetings, children.
00:15:23.060 Military alliance.
00:15:25.860 No, not really.
00:15:26.900 Okay, that's fine.
00:15:27.620 That's cool.
00:15:28.100 The blood access is glorious viking bra there.
00:15:33.940 So I'm gonna try to keep these, uh, these rather large units here as well.
00:15:39.620 Uh, the same here.
00:15:40.980 And then maybe we can, when the Danes get the hell out of our lands, we might look at the possibility of taking this ship
00:15:50.580 to sail up and, uh, uh, I don't know here what, what the crack is here.
00:15:54.820 It might, uh, do some conquest there as well.
00:15:57.060 Or just, um, send them down here to, uh, for further conquests.
00:16:04.020 Now what we're gonna do.
00:16:11.220 I hope I don't regret this now.
00:16:12.740 Perhaps I should just have sacked this settlement.
00:16:14.900 I'm gonna try to take that next turn.
00:16:23.940 And now, let's look at the possibility of...
00:16:26.420 No, we can't raise any forces.
00:16:31.140 Fuck.
00:16:31.540 That's not good at all.
00:16:33.060 Okay, I hope Flevum is, um, will, will manage on its own.
00:16:38.340 All right, true friends.
00:16:43.700 I utilized a quick little edit and we got charged by the Blasphemous Franks.
00:16:49.140 I'm not all too confident in sea battles.
00:16:51.780 So I'm gonna utilize, um, retreat there in all actuality.
00:16:56.260 And then try to get on land to, uh, see if we can, um, outmaneuver them there instead.
00:17:05.060 Oh, look, this, uh, cinematic.
00:17:09.060 Oh, look, that's.
00:17:10.340 Wow, my name.
00:17:11.220 They made ready for war.
00:17:14.020 The world had fallen into shadow.
00:17:18.100 The earth broke cold and the wind whispered of death.
00:17:24.500 And I beheld the Blasphemous Franks.
00:17:27.300 And he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
00:17:32.580 Scourge of God.
00:17:38.340 Attila was born.
00:17:43.780 All knelt before him.
00:17:46.820 Not I.
00:17:48.180 For they knew he would devour the earth.
00:17:51.300 And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
00:17:59.460 Attila was born from darkness and despair.
00:18:03.940 All right, fucking go time.
00:18:10.100 Quite mighty.
00:18:14.420 Epic as fuck.
00:18:15.380 I got the shivers.
00:18:17.140 The birth.
00:18:19.300 He was a man born into the wild to shake nations.
00:18:22.180 The scourge of all lands.
00:18:23.460 Whose name brought fear to all mankind.
00:18:26.260 Far to the east, in the city and waste.
00:18:28.260 A child is born of the royal Hunnic line.
00:18:31.380 Destined for greatness, he was named Attila.
00:18:33.540 Objective complete.
00:18:36.420 Ah, brilliant.
00:18:38.980 Mission issued.
00:18:40.340 Survive until spring.
00:18:42.100 Okay, cool.
00:18:43.220 Match of state.
00:18:44.500 This man was drunk when he was supposed to be on watch.
00:18:47.540 The watering down of our elite troops with his bumpkin seemed to be the main cause.
00:18:52.900 All right.
00:18:54.260 Let's, uh...
00:18:55.220 Loyalty is a measure of a character's devotion to the ruling party of his faction.
00:19:00.180 Flog him.
00:19:00.820 It can be increased through polit...
00:19:03.940 He shan't be drinking alcohol like that.
00:19:06.900 Oh, look.
00:19:07.380 The eagles of China.
00:19:11.460 Uh, okay.
00:19:13.220 So, what we're gonna do, true friends, is in all actuality...
00:19:17.940 Look at the possibility of...
00:19:19.300 Made a landfall there, and then we'll see what the crack is.
00:19:25.700 If they can catch us or whatever they do.
00:19:30.260 And now, let's look at the possibility of...
00:19:33.380 There we are.
00:19:35.780 Relentless attacker.
00:19:37.940 Marksman.
00:19:40.500 Okay, we're gonna go with that.
00:19:43.460 And recruit some units.
00:19:45.300 Yes, please.
00:19:46.260 Nordic bows.
00:19:49.300 All right, true friends.
00:19:52.260 We're gonna do it like this.
00:19:54.180 Oh, we can't recruit any mercenaries.
00:19:56.500 We're gonna take the turn and see if the Franks charge us there.
00:19:59.620 And see if the Danes charge us here, in all actuality.
00:20:06.980 All right, true friends.
00:20:08.900 We got charged by a superior force.
00:20:12.740 But we'll try to do the best of the situation either way.
00:20:15.060 See, they have...
00:20:16.580 The balance power is in their favor.
00:20:18.020 But the back is...
00:20:20.020 Our backs are up against the wall.
00:20:22.900 So, we'll have to try to...
00:20:25.860 To defeat these guys either way.
00:20:32.820 It might be...
00:20:35.700 Quite hard, but...
00:20:39.300 That is Blasphemous defeatist attitude.
00:20:42.260 And this is not good that it's raining because we have many more missile units than they have.
00:20:57.540 I'm gonna start battle.
00:20:58.580 I'm gonna try to...
00:21:04.980 Face them head on.
00:21:07.140 They have a mercenary onager.
00:21:09.540 Which obviously will be hard crack.
00:21:12.500 They have...
00:21:14.260 Medium axe infantry against our medium spear infantry.
00:21:17.780 I think axemen are better than spearmen, at least against other infantry units.
00:21:22.500 Looking quite glorious, to be honest though.
00:21:28.900 To be fair.
00:21:32.420 I have to learn to say the word properly.
00:21:39.380 So, this will be a head-on battle.
00:21:42.340 And by God, I wish I had some cavalry.
00:21:48.020 Indeed I do.
00:21:49.060 Indeed I do.
00:21:52.100 I'm gonna speed it up a bit, until we...
00:21:54.420 Get closer to the enemy.
00:22:00.180 Ah, good lord.
00:22:01.780 And, yeah, our general got...
00:22:12.660 Shot to death.
00:22:13.780 All of them was there.
00:22:20.180 I'm gonna try to catch these...
00:22:23.700 These lancers, at least.
00:22:31.780 Glory to the Allfather.
00:22:48.420 Okay, cool.
00:22:48.980 We have catched their...
00:22:52.260 Blasphemous...
00:22:55.060 Lancers.
00:23:01.780 Oldfather, I love you.
00:23:26.740 And now we're trying to get a rear charge here.
00:23:28.660 And now we're trying to get a rear charge here.
00:23:31.780 There we are.
00:23:33.460 And you also.
00:23:35.940 Get those bastards.
00:23:37.620 And if our...
00:23:39.220 What in actual fuck do you do there?
00:23:46.420 Come on then, quickly now.
00:23:47.780 Get in the mix.
00:23:48.820 Get in the fight.
00:24:02.020 How can our general flee like that?
00:24:04.340 That's highly disgraceful.
00:24:05.540 All right, we uh...
00:24:20.020 I don't really know why this would be so hard.
00:24:22.180 Like, if I...
00:24:24.020 If I surround them at all...
00:24:30.340 From every angle.
00:24:31.220 But I still can't break them.
00:24:32.900 It's...
00:24:33.540 That's a bit strange.
00:24:34.900 I'd say, actually.
00:24:51.140 The battle is no longer in our favor.
00:24:53.860 All right.
00:24:54.420 I lost there.
00:24:56.500 Don't really know what I could have done differently.
00:24:58.900 Um...
00:25:00.580 But, oh well.
00:25:01.940 It is what it is.
00:25:06.340 Close defeats.
00:25:10.020 All right.
00:25:10.420 Try one more time.
00:25:12.580 We've got a decimated army.
00:25:14.180 Yeah, I don't suppose we stand any chance.
00:25:19.780 But, uh...
00:25:20.660 We can at least try to...
00:25:22.660 Reak as much chaos as possible.
00:25:24.500 So we can...
00:25:26.100 Redeem ourselves at a later time.
00:25:35.860 I see the enemy is outnumbering us quite a bit there.
00:25:39.860 Okay.
00:25:43.940 All right, true friends.
00:25:44.820 I'm...
00:25:45.700 I'm not really sure what to do in this...
00:25:49.940 situation in particular.
00:25:56.980 I was trying to lead them away.
00:26:05.940 But...
00:26:07.780 Yeah, they are outnumbered.
00:26:09.060 So I assume they will steamroll us as they did in the...
00:26:12.900 In the previous combat.
00:26:22.100 All right, another decisive defeat.
00:26:23.780 I think the...
00:26:27.060 This expedition...
00:26:29.140 On British soil might just be lost.
00:26:31.940 But, um...
00:26:34.100 Shame to those who give up.
00:26:35.460 So we'll try to, in all actuality...
00:26:38.260 Perhaps hire some mercenaries and take revenge on the blasted Frankish bastards.
00:26:43.700 I want those British lands.
00:26:45.220 So yeah, I was saying, I might twitch some Rome as well if that's, uh...
00:26:53.300 That would be of interest, like, uh...
00:26:55.300 Comment below what you would like to see more of.
00:26:57.780 Uh, it's still winter here in Sweden.
00:26:59.540 It's still winter here in Sweden.
00:27:01.220 So, uh...
00:27:02.260 Gaming is just fine.
00:27:03.940 Um...
00:27:05.940 It's a glorious thing to get, uh...
00:27:08.420 Get pumped up for life as it...
00:27:10.820 As it is.
00:27:11.380 All right.
00:27:15.860 Duty calls.
00:27:16.740 Relentless attacker.
00:27:18.020 And he has a cool hair and, uh...
00:27:21.780 But it's Powermonger.
00:27:24.260 No, we're gonna go with relentless attacker.
00:27:26.100 Stained out.
00:27:26.900 27 years of age.
00:27:29.540 And look at this.
00:27:31.140 Yeah, we still have...
00:27:33.700 Still...
00:27:34.340 I'm not gonna do anything more in this turn, but...
00:27:41.540 Okay, we can only...
00:27:44.180 Hmm.
00:27:45.420 I'll see what I'll do, true friends.
00:27:47.540 Thank you so much for watching.
00:27:49.520 We made some land gains.
00:27:51.620 And we've managed to keep...
00:27:53.940 These lands in all actuality.
00:27:57.040 So, I'll, um...
00:27:59.940 See you in next episode.
00:28:02.500 And who am I?
00:28:04.340 I'm the proud son of the Old Father.
00:28:06.660 XXO.
00:28:07.620 Boom!
