00:00:00.000 Greetings proud men of the north and welcome back to the historical battle section of Attila
00:00:16.740 and today we're gonna embrace our barbarian mode that's why I'm having my beard still
00:00:22.680 and we're gonna go with the glorious battle of Adrianople and when I shave which I will do in
00:00:33.040 maybe a week or two by god I will miss the beard though I will miss the beard indeed I am I like
00:00:38.560 it but for the summer I need a close nice close shave but either way I thought to game a bit as
00:00:48.660 our illustrious barbarian forefathers the Visigoths in this episode and then when I shaved I can be
00:00:55.900 a Roman legionnaire again but then as I said like during the autumn the beard will be back
00:01:02.060 with all that said let's get into the battle in AD 376 the Goths settled within the empire
00:01:11.520 on the approval of the eastern emperor Valens after facing many hardships under dishonest Roman rule
00:01:17.820 the Goths felt that they had no choice but revolt two years later Emperor Valens marched towards
00:01:24.600 Adrianople in an attempt to subdue them okay a lot can be said about this very interesting story
00:01:33.580 overall I'd say we're gonna go with hard difficulty which is my standard in in these battles
00:01:41.820 um and as you can see they are outnumbering us uh initially at least
00:01:53.200 and yeah as I said a lot can be said about this uh this story in particular that the Visigoths and
00:02:02.880 the Goths are being pushed away by the Huns from their initial territories in the in the east and
00:02:11.660 then also due to climate change let's not forget the climate change force them to migrate south to
00:02:20.160 be able to sustain themselves the emperor Valens is personally leading a Roman army towards
00:02:26.160 Adrianople in an effort to crush the Goths outnumbered the Goths are encamped on top of a hill despite
00:02:34.320 marching all day the Romans have numerical superiority and move to attack yet unknown to the Romans the
00:02:42.480 gothic cavalry is not far away our true friends are coming to the rescue in all actuality the Goths must
00:02:49.600 hold out against the Roman attack until their mounted reinforcements arrive all right so the objective is
00:02:56.080 quite clear raise a cheer soldiers raise a cheer himself comes to claim victory against us so
00:03:04.400 prepare a welcome for him and his men what is going on right here right now is the Roman attack has
00:03:11.520 been sent to our cavalry forces they will surely return to the battlefield soon we must hold out until then
00:03:21.840 what the crack is in all actuality true friends is the following i'm gonna hold this hilltop until
00:03:29.440 the Romans i mean until our gothic allies are coming our cavalry force are coming to the rescue
00:03:40.480 so i'm just gonna play it very defensively try to hold on to our little a little camp here and
00:03:49.440 the Romans are advancing slowly let's look at a general
00:03:52.960 there you see that's what he is uh love it love it okay so we have um some pikemen here going to defend
00:04:12.240 these little um skirmishes and i'm gonna put them in skirmish mode as well i mean um lose
00:04:22.880 spacing mode of course is is what i'll do so that they are less vulnerable to to missiles
00:04:38.800 and you see there is their general which is obviously our target i have um
00:04:43.360 deadly missiles ready i am in no um no need to stress this battle they the longer i can hold out
00:04:52.080 the better so i will just um keep it keep it cool i'm gonna hide this you see the little tree symbol
00:05:00.000 there is that they're hidden so i'm gonna hide them there
00:05:09.920 so um let us just try to hold this little hilltop we can have a look at the battlefield as we are also
00:05:20.240 and the skirmishing has begun
00:05:22.640 germanic pikeman highly glorious in right there and obviously as we saw our general
00:05:41.360 and we have broken them so we can switch the the focus of the arrows slingshots to uh
00:06:02.640 okay i'm not i'm not gonna advance very much
00:06:06.080 keeping my eye out for these scout equities so they don't um get around us in any
00:06:17.120 mischievous way and i actually thought about making a let's play campaign with either the visigoths or
00:06:25.520 the ostrogoths just um just get that initial episode where i can talk a bit about the the story of the
00:06:33.120 gothic people gothic people etc and obviously it would be
00:06:39.200 yes you know fun for me to play but i i suppose it's better that they do
00:06:43.840 this um this one-off videos instead and
00:06:50.240 our hidden units have been discovered
00:06:56.240 where i come on and are they actually going in there
00:06:59.280 oh yes come on come on oh look at that sickening that's glorious
00:07:16.400 oh fuck and i got distracted by by being killed that's why i am lost my focus there
00:07:29.280 uh yeah because uh i realize that most people don't
00:07:37.280 it's better if i stick to one campaign which obviously will be the
00:07:41.920 the western roman empire
00:07:46.480 which will be released soon enough but i want to wait until i shave
00:07:52.720 then then i become a romanized barbarian i'm still a barbarian at heart though
00:08:11.200 okay
00:08:18.800 get out of them boys
00:08:27.360 and i want to keep the general as far away from this huge horde of uh of enemies as possible
00:08:35.360 and i'm gonna retreat with you
00:08:43.120 and
00:08:46.560 okay so our general is out on
00:08:50.400 and why aren't they breaking though
00:08:54.240 fuck
00:08:56.720 i'll try to get them to break here
00:08:58.160 and you see the enemy is going for our general
00:09:08.160 i'm gonna try to run away with him and not run away as in as in flee but
00:09:14.320 tactical withdrawal
00:09:21.280 i'm gonna hide you up there
00:09:22.880 here
00:09:27.920 berserk mode
00:09:29.840 come on get out of boys

00:15:40.080 yes
00:15:43.360 wonderful absolutely brilliant now
00:15:47.040 we might stand the chance i don't
00:15:51.760 don't really want to say anything yet because they are uh still outnumbering us
00:15:56.960 if we look at the statistics
00:15:58.400 okay they still have a lot almost double our um
00:16:06.160 our forces so um
00:16:12.720 i don't
00:16:15.360 i don't suppose that we will win either way because our general has fled the
00:16:20.800 the bleeding coward but uh we'll we'll try to to win this either way to your friends
00:16:28.320 because this is life or death for the gothic people
00:16:33.440 and why aren't you running away oh no oh fuck what
00:16:46.400 oh i'm so fucking stupid what did i do
00:16:50.640 toggle mount no on them
00:16:52.880 but i am
00:16:57.280 i messed up there
00:17:11.840 and you get in the mix get in the battle proud sons this uh
00:17:19.280 it's one of the most uh one of the most tight battles i've ever fought actually
00:17:40.720 which means that we'll have to be extra careful with what we do
00:17:49.280 and if i'm not that talkative it's because i'm
00:17:58.560 trying to
00:18:00.640 desperately trying to win this battle
00:18:11.040 now glory to the old father
00:18:19.600 come on and crush them then for god's sake
00:18:22.800 and we have
00:18:24.240 ah protector out this domestic left so um
00:18:29.520 we don't really have anything to
00:18:36.480 this is all we got
00:18:38.720 god what i would have given for another unit of anything really
00:18:49.280 but we have the
00:18:50.880 oh don't run then god we're almost winning this and they and they run
00:19:08.080 and look at this battle
00:19:19.200 look at this battle true friends this is
00:19:28.800 this is one bloody battle right there
00:19:32.880 and coming in the rear there should do the
00:19:40.000 get the job done i hope uh without losing too many of our own
00:19:44.880 but uh
00:19:49.120 these guys will probably
00:19:52.880 be too much to um
00:19:54.800 um
00:19:56.800 to deal with in all actuality
00:20:01.520 because we have medium melee cavalry
00:20:08.320 and they are
00:20:10.240 very light
00:20:12.240 very light okay
00:20:13.760 um
00:20:28.960 let's uh
00:20:30.800 let's try to get a cool uh cool charger let's admire the enemy
00:20:36.240 they are not to be trifled with
00:20:37.680 that diamond
00:20:49.760 all right then true friends
00:20:56.560 hope they don't
00:21:00.400 okay they uh they managed to turn around
00:21:07.680 yes come on
00:21:13.200 oh
00:21:15.520 this uh
00:21:16.800 oh god no
00:21:28.400 wonderful
00:21:30.080 absolutely wonderful
00:21:32.640 thank you for that based cavalry
00:21:34.160 victory will soon be yours
00:21:36.480 oh and battle okay if i wasn't that talkative during the end of the battle i just
00:21:41.280 i really wanted to uh to win this so let's look a bit at the battle statistics at least
00:21:48.640 did we have 177
00:21:51.760 uh 232 okay so it was our cavalry who did look at that 171 oh that 284
00:22:00.160 uh okay cool so um don't know how much you learned about history in this particular episode
00:22:07.040 but you can talk a bit about um
00:22:11.840 about the um
00:22:15.040 the relation between the gothic people and the uh the romans i will probably talk a bit about this if
00:22:22.720 i start a gothic campaign but if you look at the obviously the goths are from uh it's a germanic
00:22:29.120 tribe from scandinavia hence the name gothic uh they wandered down from from my beloved sweden and
00:22:35.760 scandinavia down here and you know raided the roman empire and settled them along the fertile coasts
00:22:45.200 of the black sea but then the climate change came and the hunts came so they couldn't really stay
00:22:51.680 here which is why they pushed on down to into the roman empire and obviously as with any
00:22:59.680 you know when when two different peoples are in the same region conflict will arise as we saw here
00:23:05.520 so yeah that's what's the little history lesson i hope you have enjoyed the video
00:23:09.440 um and uh yeah it was really nice to win that battle because it was really a really tight one
00:23:17.600 um so yeah and who am i i'm the proud son of the old father xx so
