Transcript
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.
0.94
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.
0.99
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
0.98
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.
0.71
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
0.94
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
0.97
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
1.00
00:04:14.400
started raiding their own ancestral territories. So we're gonna try to deal with those in all
0.99
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
1.00
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.
0.73
00:06:18.740
They are trying to take out our general. Defend him. We must defend our general, true friends.
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
00:07:21.620
Look at, look how bleak and horrible it is. Really...
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.
00:07:56.500
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.
0.91
00:08:05.460
We're gonna try to look at the possibility of acquiring glory in the name of the Old Father.
00:08:14.900
Look at Fair Maiden also. And look how glorious they are.
0.82
00:08:18.580
They're killing the Blasphemous Franks. How dare they talk to us like that?
1.00
00:08:43.380
All right then. Here they come. Where are our units?
00:09:26.260
They broke away from the superior might of the Geats.
00:09:40.820
And there we are. We have captured the center square.
00:10:07.380
I'm gonna try to surround them now and just hack them down.
0.89
00:10:56.260
All right, it looks like the battle is turning in our favor.
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.
00:12:14.100
And you see here, the Britain has actually landed with a large force here up in the north.
00:12:23.620
So yeah, we have this little problem to attend to as well.
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.
00:13:28.820
So yeah, I, um, first impressions of, um, of Attila.
0.97
00:13:35.940
Like, really captured that, this bleak, and bleak time full of despair.
0.99
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.
00:14:01.220
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.
00:14:23.860
I have brought a gift from my people in order that we may improve relation.
00:14:45.780
Construction cost, minus fem percent, five percent, that was Swedish, fem.
1.00
00:15:12.500
Perhaps they want to make, do battle with, um, the Dancer.
00:15:28.100
The blood access is glorious viking bra there.
0.95
00:15:33.940
So I'm gonna try to keep these, uh, these rather large units here as well.
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.
00:15:57.060
Or just, um, send them down here to, uh, for further conquests.
00:16:12.740
Perhaps I should just have sacked this settlement.
00:16:33.060
Okay, I hope Flevum is, um, will, will manage on its own.
00:16:43.700
I utilized a quick little edit and we got charged by the Blasphemous Franks.
1.00
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.
00:17:18.100
The earth broke cold and the wind whispered of death.
00:17:27.300
And he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
0.57
00:17:51.300
And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
00:17:59.460
Attila was born from darkness and despair.
0.99
00:18:19.300
He was a man born into the wild to shake nations.
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.
1.00
00:18:55.220
Loyalty is a measure of a character's devotion to the ruling party of his faction.
00:19:13.220
So, what we're gonna do, true friends, is in all actuality...
00:19:19.300
Made a landfall there, and then we'll see what the crack is.
00:19:56.500
We're gonna take the turn and see if the Franks charge us there.
0.96
00:19:59.620
And see if the Danes charge us here, in all actuality.
00:20:12.740
But we'll try to do the best of the situation either way.
00:20:42.260
And this is not good that it's raining because we have many more missile units than 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.
00:23:26.740
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.
00:24:56.500
Don't really know what I could have done differently.
00:25:35.860
I see the enemy is outnumbering us quite a bit there.
00:26:09.060
So I assume they will steamroll us as they did in the...
00:26:38.260
Perhaps hire some mercenaries and take revenge on the blasted Frankish bastards.
1.00
00:26:45.220
So yeah, I was saying, I might twitch some Rome as well if that's, uh...
00:26:55.300
Comment below what you would like to see more of.
00:27:34.340
I'm not gonna do anything more in this turn, but...
