Summary
The Knights of the Round Table are back, and this time with the help of their new friends, the Visigothic True Friends. The problem is, they don't have enough troops to fight against the Romans, so they turn to their old enemy, the Gothic Huns. Will they be able to hold them off long enough to carve out their own kingdom?

00:00:00.000
Greetings true friends and greetings devout men of the saviour!
00:00:15.000
We have liberated Italia who are now our true friends and will serve us a bulwark against our blasted enemies.
00:00:33.000
I've loaded up with some Lindvals coffee and I'm excited for some glorious gaming.
00:00:48.000
Gonna do like that. Two more units to our army.
00:01:02.000
It was as I might have said I sat on needles while recording that.
00:01:08.000
I just hoped that we would survive. It would have been quite embarrassing otherwise.
00:01:14.000
So we have put some distance between us and the bloody Hans.
00:01:18.000
So hopefully the Western Romans and the Hans will battle against each other and leave us be.
1.00
00:01:27.000
So we can carve out a Ostrogothic kingdom to keep the shadows away.
0.99
00:01:33.000
Okay, there we are two Roman armies right there.
00:01:39.000
And the Visigothic true friends are raiding in Norte-Vitalia.
1.00
00:01:46.000
Not that I wish anything else happened to my Visigothic brothers.
00:01:52.000
But after all they are pagans and we are Christians. Aryan Christians now.
1.00
00:02:32.000
One of the things I've missed in this game actually.
00:03:10.000
Let's see where those Roman armies disappeared.
00:03:21.000
They will have to wait two turns to get their siege equipment in order.
00:03:49.000
That the Romans are not aggressively expanding south with their armies.
00:04:14.000
And then they're raiding the Illyrians a bit there.
00:04:19.000
And I suspect that in a few turns most of the Balkans will be a bloody ruin.
1.00
00:05:00.000
And we're wondering if you would care to make a contribution.
00:05:41.000
And then the Ostrogoths have already established their kingdom in Italy.
0.52
00:05:50.000
And the Visigoths have established their kingdom in the south of France and north of Spain.
0.96
00:05:57.000
The campaign revolves around Belisarus trying to reconquer it.
00:06:01.000
And you actually have the option to rebel against the Emperor.
00:06:06.000
If you are Belisarus, you can rebel against the Emperor and start your own little empire from the territories that you've conquered.
00:06:15.000
And this reminded me very much about the Horus Heresy.
00:06:20.000
If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's Warhammer 40k.
00:06:34.000
Otherwise I've only been into historical fiction.
00:06:56.000
Yeah, as I've said, like, this will be the last time I say it.
00:06:59.000
At least in this campaign, why I don't take, uh...
00:07:14.000
We can almost reach the room, but we're gonna...
00:09:02.000
We feel that the case is that we're coming with, uh...
00:09:16.000
We're gonna take that settlement and try to hold on to that.
00:09:45.000
Yeah, as I was talking about with the Belisarius, uh...
00:09:54.000
They had the Great Crusade, which was actually led by the God Emperor of mankind at first.
00:10:01.000
But then he retreated back to Terra, which is the home planet of, uh...
00:10:33.000
I'm sure most of you who are watching and listening to this is more into historical fiction as...
00:10:43.000
Almost like a philosophical kind of work in its...
00:11:06.000
The console is minded to deal with these particular people before they become a problem.
00:11:21.000
Get into war with them at some stage either way.
00:14:00.000
And the inheritors of Rome can obviously have...
00:16:40.000
And I beheld a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
00:17:03.000
For they knew he would devour the earth and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
00:18:49.000
And obviously the Roman units are superior to our Germanic troops, so that's what we're gonna...
0.94
00:19:02.000
And I'm not gonna say anything just yet, but...
00:20:16.000
Confident enough, I suppose, in that we can take their garrison army.
00:20:23.000
And then we'll storm Tarentum and make it our own city.
00:20:48.000
Only the greatest dare speak of peace to their enemies.
00:21:16.000
I was gonna wait a turn or two and see if they can reduce the demand of money.
00:21:24.000
The poor Vulcans are completely devastated by the Huns.
0.95
00:21:27.000
I hope Constantinople will stand firm at least.
0.90
00:21:31.000
Because we might harbor some resentment towards the Romans.
00:21:35.000
But they are better than the Huns at least.
0.99
00:21:55.000
Because that actually has Gerard Butler in the...
00:22:35.000
God, I'm tendin' to do loot and Occupy, but Rhea's gonna Occupy.
1.00
00:23:39.000
I don't want upkeep of these mercenaries for very long.
00:25:37.000
One of my favorite factions in Age of Empires II, actually.
00:26:11.000
To emphasize the destructive nature of the Huns.
0.93
00:26:50.000
And then we don't wanna lose control of the situation.
00:27:03.000
And obviously one of the things I really like with Attila is the...
00:28:14.000
Perhaps send one of those armies down to take Syracuse.
00:29:46.000
draw these guys okay I'm gonna do it like this we're drawing them and then
00:29:53.800
raising a new arm here okay so what do we have got expensive to to repair
00:30:06.940
military yeti's no gonna deconstruct you and go for fish instead famine let us do
00:30:44.840
all right I think we're just gonna have to as much as I love churches I think I
00:31:02.960
need to deconstruct this one and turn it over to a
00:31:11.540
to a food producing building and now I'm reluctant to leave Rome I truly am but
00:31:26.780
Fiorentina looked there too tempting to to ignore like that so we're gonna take
00:31:34.220
that and hopefully they will have some sort of food products that's our main
00:31:41.180
issue right now and this is brilliant they they are not giving any sort of
00:31:53.600
resistance except for obviously a little army that is coming there
00:32:00.120
farmstead yes please that is what we need and want let's upgrade something here as
00:32:33.460
our hero our hero claims a warrior's call I tell you I tell you to dragonborn comes with a voice
00:32:50.940
believe believe the dragon I had to sing a bit and before I decided on the proper
00:33:07.620
So what we will do, in all actuality, we can upgrade this to something fun.
00:33:15.220
Weld from industry and provide scarrison of gothic pipemen, that is wonderful.
1.00
00:33:25.220
Unlocks requirement of onagers and germanic hunters, that's wonderful.
00:33:42.420
Minus 4% in construction cost, decisions, decisions, or a wicker maker.
00:33:53.720
I think we're actually gonna go with a bonecarver, since it grants the most money, and that money
00:34:00.880
is obviously good to have, when you're trying to carve out an empire.
00:34:10.380
Champion rider, but we don't really have any options for that yet.
00:34:18.980
Master planet conning is even better, because that reduces the upkeep of the army.
00:34:36.980
So, the financial situation is good, but the food situation is not as good.
00:34:51.980
We'll put you in there, and do we have any bread and games?
00:35:03.480
We actually do not, but the growth is always nice.
00:35:09.480
By the way, I have no idea how long this episode will be, but I'm just gonna play on a bit more until my coffee has been drunk.
00:35:22.980
And since I talk so much, I hardly get any time to drink it, but now I'm gonna utilize a good long sip of Lindvalls coffee until next turn.
00:36:01.480
Your fine goods would be welcomed in our cities.
00:36:20.980
They're even helping us defeat the rebels there.
00:36:39.480
Okay, here is what I will do, and what I will not do.
00:36:42.480
I will probably not go down and take Syracuse just yet with the coming of this army right there.
00:36:49.480
And our beloved leader has leveled corruption and integrity.
00:37:00.980
Now, I didn't realize this up until like a week ago or something, that it's a difference between governed province and commanded force.
00:37:18.480
It does not grant food unless it is the governed province.
00:37:24.980
So we're going to go with the fighting abilities instead.
00:38:18.980
We don't really need that one because he is a governor.
00:39:22.980
Look at how much experience they have at start.
00:40:09.980
And god, the upkeep on these guys are quite horrendous.
00:40:18.480
By the way, I could just as easily acquire those mercenaries with this army.
00:40:33.980
And this will be very hard to defeat if they decide to land.
00:40:49.480
Could actually trap them in Ravenna is what I am thinking.
00:42:15.480
Like they are withdrawing some of the allegiance to Italia.
00:42:57.480
Let's see if we can promote anyone to an elder.
00:43:34.480
So if any one of my other characters gets too powerful...
00:43:41.480
It could be prudent to adopt him into the family.
00:47:19.980
But I don't want to spend too much cash on a new army.
00:49:17.980
That will probably have to be the next episode.
00:50:12.980
Thank you very much for watching and listening.
