00:00:00.000Greetings you proud sons of the old father and welcome back to the Balkans and the year of 396 AD.
00:00:18.520We're here with our gothic hordes and this is the second episode of my Ostrogothic campaign
00:00:25.800which I am very excited to commence. Now last episode we raised this settlement
00:00:33.040because we were trapped by it basically and then we saw here Legio Ex Gemina led
00:00:42.900by the Western Roman Emperor Flavius Stilicho and he is not a guy I want to
00:00:49.340tangle with at the moment so we're actually gonna withdraw a bit up here and
00:00:55.040if we look at our objectives and now you can't see me but you can hear me and I'm
00:01:01.580gonna utilize a glorious sip of Linval's coffee now. Coffee and gaming is an
00:01:09.620excellent combination. Since we're gonna go with a minor victory
00:01:14.680Dardania, Dalmatia, Pannonia are the regions which we are going to try to
00:01:24.220control so we're actually gonna move in this area and then I want Ravenna as
00:01:30.400well but I'm gonna wait until the Western Roman Empire are a bit weaker to do that
00:01:36.240so what I'm looking to do now is acquire these settlements perhaps stay in horde
00:01:47.180mode for a bit longer because I would want settle perhaps in these territories
00:01:58.520because I don't want to settle down in one of these little poverty settlements so
00:02:02.880we're gonna see what the crack is up here and continue to expand a bit or
00:02:09.000alternatively we could try to fight off these Romans because these two armies
00:02:15.780should be able to take this one and then take Salona but no we're gonna go up here
00:02:26.100so this army and big shout out to Styrker who pointed out that if the two
00:02:33.000hordes are in the same region they will see each other as rivals so it's better to
00:02:39.300have them in different regions so this obviously is a different region to this
00:02:45.420place so there's the border so I'm gonna take these guys and I'm gonna measure up
00:02:52.420there should be a quarter of the distance left I suppose I'm gonna go into stance and
00:03:03.240campment now these guys with our beloved King try to and we're gonna see how far
00:03:16.380they can reach up to there so we're just gonna camp dare them do like that now let's
00:03:30.060build something fun shall we can't really really build anything can we build
00:03:38.460anything here warriors all insufficient funds can I build it anything and we need
00:03:51.820surplus so okay we can't do anything at all how silly oh well let's recruit a
00:04:07.000conspirator or a hunter perhaps ah that was like a fun thing to do can you
00:04:17.980actually join him directly no you can't and I'm gonna see if we can can you
00:04:25.520perhaps recruit anything no obviously it's a world worldwide effect on that and we
00:04:33.820can't recruit any why okay okay cool we can raise new horde armies and yes still
00:04:47.860let's still learning I suppose how can I see if we can recruit some units though
00:04:57.180Germanic band and then we'll see what these guys decide to do gonna create some more units there as
00:05:12.660as well and let's also look at diplomacy as well they are our true friends
00:05:21.120actually all right cool let's take the turn and see what crack is in all
00:05:28.680actuality it is time to talk like men of many things we can provide salt or the
00:05:40.420time it takes to speak a word or two they offer us drunkard it makes me happier than
00:05:50.280you ever could you bastard okay but we'll I'm sure my Ostrogothic betrothed to her
00:05:57.180we land we land talk her out of that blasphemous behavior to drink alcohol and
00:06:08.460yes our brothers the Visigoths let's and they're actually offering us thank you for
00:06:14.100that that that was a mighty fine gift of a young fair maiden in need of a husband and
00:06:22.620obviously to bring our two great hordes together and obviously back in the day marriages were
00:06:34.860primarily political with little regard for love and I mean that's it's not all too
00:06:44.360unreasonable that the two a man and a woman has to sacrifice themselves for the
00:06:50.100better of the other people and and besides all these high-born nobles would
00:06:56.700have a quite happy life either way and in contrast to perhaps the lower classes of
00:07:03.840society where women were perhaps subject to more gruesome fates especially in
00:07:14.580times of war you have recruited so many units the Treasury is buckling under the
00:07:20.220weight of their upkeep capturing new territory would spread the cost as well as
00:07:25.620putting your troops to good use indeed indeed okay you are still there
00:07:33.020emperor emperor bra I love that time the knife in the dark hmm is there nothing else well I mean we could settle it was stupid of me to lay waste that but if we do like this
00:08:02.020take these two settlements and then we have these guys are still there
