In this episode of Sons of Rome, I take a quick turn from the slow paced gameplay up to see if we can hold off the giant slayers. We have a solid income coming in now, so I go on a building spree.

00:00:00.000 Greetings you proud sons of Rome and welcome back. I actually took a turn from the last episode to
00:00:13.200 the speedy gameplay up of it because this is a very long campaign. Not really much happened we
00:00:20.040 got some settlement sacked and some settlement raised even but we have a good old priest who
00:00:29.220 is leveled here so we're gonna start off with him. Spread religion, yes please. Encourage dissent, 0.87
00:00:35.580 not really useful for our purposes. Preach doom can be useful and I'm gonna go with that right
00:00:42.300 there. So you see we have a solid income coming in now so I'm gonna go on a little bit of a building
00:00:50.940 spree as it were. Now here the giant slayers will have to be dealt with so I am thinking about raising 0.92
00:01:00.300 an army in either of these settlements. Raising an army to combat these guys. They are a bit attritioned
00:01:08.860 and which obviously is wonderful. We're just gonna check over the empire really quickly to see what
00:01:16.300 the crack is. So we have the army here to keep these guys subjugated. We also have these guys to keep
00:01:26.860 northern Africa in check as it were. We can actually build something fun here as well.
00:01:35.980 See the public order isn't all too good there. We have a solid food production
00:01:41.900 and so we're gonna go with a colony. You see there the food consumption becomes minus 20 but public order
00:01:50.540 plus one. So we're gonna go with that choice right there. And also Cartago can look at additional things
00:02:01.180 to increase the public order. So you see there maintenance cost 200. It's quite steep but
00:02:11.900 so it's either that or food consumption. I'm actually gonna go with a capital there. So we see three
00:02:18.300 passing public order and that is what we are after right there. Public order decreasing here as well.
00:02:27.340 Food consumption also goes down a bit. That is just how it is I suppose. So first army
00:02:35.820 will be created in either Verona or Aquelia. I haven't really
00:02:44.220 thinked this true to be honest. Let's see. Can we actually know? No agents. Handler. Good. Political animal.
00:02:56.300 No. Not really. A happy merchant. How quaint. Governed province. So he needs to be a governor.
00:03:05.580 Champion rider. Marksman. That can be quite good indeed. Fearless warrior. Seal. Relentless attacker.
00:03:15.420 Moral when attacking. No. Let's go with
00:03:18.780 either of those two. This guy has a higher level on the seal. So we're gonna do that. See if we can
00:03:30.060 reinstate the legacy. Nothing really fun there. But they will. Boom. Recruit.
00:03:38.780 Conan. Can't you jump into the settlement? All right. Don't do it then.
00:03:46.780 It's good fighters. It is a great and glorious thing to die for Rome. It's a great and glorious thing
00:03:53.980 to die for Rome. We're gonna go with um... Soldiering. It's a good life. Rome needs good fighters.
00:04:03.260 Something like that. And hopefully we actually have two turns to um to withstand them.
00:04:10.940 uh on. We're gonna check over Hispania and see what uh what the crack is here. In all actuality. 0.99
00:04:19.100 Public order is and will continue to be a problem. That's really... Sanitation's really good.
00:04:27.820 Public order also really good. So we're gonna go with uh... Reservoir. Right there.
00:04:35.980 And we can still have money to build something fun. And yes it is quite frustrating to see your um...
00:04:46.460 Your empire is being sacked and raided and you spend a lot of money on building things. But um...
00:04:54.300 Um... It will um... It will um... It will pay in a good few turns when our stable regions are um...
00:05:04.140 Um... Yeah. More stable as it were. So it doesn't really matter that the fringe regions are being sacked and violated.
00:05:14.940 That is just how it is and we'll have to deal with it. I'm gonna end the turn right now and we can see what um...
00:05:21.180 Um... What just might happen and uh... Yeah. I'm just gonna um...
00:05:38.140 I'm just gonna edit the turn away unless something really spectacular happens. So we don't waste any time
00:05:44.860 with uh... These sort of combats. So be right back.
00:05:54.700 All right. True friends. I uh... Edited... Edited a good bit away there. But uh... It was only...
00:06:01.900 Yeah. You'll see now. Settlements Act. Um...
00:06:06.780 Very much those sort of things. And then we have um...
00:06:09.660 Um... A good view. Rebellions on our hands. We can research something fun.
00:06:16.540 And growth or wealth. We can go with either of those. We can also go with something here.
00:06:24.380 And something fun.
00:06:32.540 Wealth is always good. So I'm gonna go with that choice right now. And these guys have actually
00:06:40.380 been... Been friendly. And next time these guys will have been created or trained. Properly trained.
00:06:46.860 So now we can increase that army. Our first army as it were. Now. Cunning. Yes, that's always good. And
00:06:56.540 Agent Action cost minus three. Brilliant. Do we have anything more fun to do?
00:07:01.820 To preach doom over an army that is always a good thing. Because then you can join um...
00:07:10.780 And preach doom over this little army right there. 0.93
00:07:13.260 Uh... So yeah. You see the um... The income is uh... Increasing. Slowly but surely. Uh... We'll have a rebellion on our hands here.
00:07:23.340 So what I will do is actually go up and station this army right here.
00:07:30.860 And now we actually still have one plus in public order at this place. So that is really good.
00:07:40.060 We're gonna take some measurements to avoid further
00:07:44.860 Uh... Decline in the public order. You can look at that for example.
00:07:51.500 Boom. That's a solid choice right there to uh...
00:07:54.060 Uh... Stave off the um... The negativity. Also right there. Now I have to be a bit careful with the food consumption.
00:08:03.020 Because you can see that uh... 200 now. It's winter though. So it's a bit lower.
00:08:07.500 But still food consumption is uh... Minus 60 if I built this uh... This little thing. So um...
00:08:15.420 Um... But I will actually do that either way. And look at the possibility of creating something.
00:08:28.860 Food 50 plus from fishing. That's also solid choice. Uh... Contributes to minus two in public order. 0.93
00:08:36.460 So not optimal but uh... That uh... We need food either way. And um... Fishing is not as dependent on the
00:08:45.100 Decreasing fertility. Which we will see in a few turns I suppose.
00:08:49.980 You can also look at these sort of things. Increasing...
00:08:54.780 These... It might be a good uh... Good thing indeed.
00:08:59.740 Segobriga. We can look at the fertility rate there.
00:09:04.540 Boom. Segobriga. And we're looking at base fertility tree. So average.
00:09:10.220 And that means... That cattle herd...
00:09:17.500 Is uh... Probably uh... A good solid choice to do right there.
00:09:22.780 Toiletum. You can develop something fun here.
00:09:28.540 Uh... Fountain. Boom. There we are.
00:09:33.420 And that's basically what we can do this turn. I don't know if you will see any fighting actually in this uh...
00:09:39.100 In this episode but um...
00:09:41.100 I've come to the realization that you don't always need to have fighting in an episode to make it...
00:09:46.300 Make it um...
00:09:47.980 Worthwhile to watch. And I realize that um...
00:09:50.540 I'm...
00:09:52.540 The sort of episodes are like um...
00:09:56.540 Perhaps sort of a podcast as it were. Like you can...
00:10:00.540 You can listen...
00:10:02.540 And watch like but you don't have the full attention all the time maybe.
00:10:07.180 And uh...
00:10:09.260 So...
00:10:10.060 So yes like have...
00:10:11.580 Have my soothing and gentle voice in the background.
00:10:14.700 And uh...
00:10:17.420 So yeah.
00:10:18.140 And obviously this is my chill episode.
00:10:20.700 And when I do other let's plays those are more my...
00:10:27.660 Those are more my like pre-workout episodes as it were.
00:10:31.020 All right. Cool. Governor.
00:10:32.300 Boom. Wealth. Yes. Thank you very much.
00:10:37.820 Authority.
00:10:39.580 Public order plus.
00:10:41.740 Wonderful.
00:10:42.780 I'm ending this turn right now in all actuality.
00:10:46.780 And I will edit it away.
00:10:49.020 Unless something spectacular happens.
00:10:50.860 So be right back yet again.
00:11:02.300 All right. True friends.
00:11:09.020 We got charged.
00:11:11.740 And I noticed that we have a rather large force here.
00:11:16.140 And they're still outnumbering us two to one easily.
00:11:19.580 But I think this could actually be worthwhile taking on the um...
00:11:25.020 On the battle map.
00:11:25.900 So we actually got a little fight either way.
00:11:29.340 So I'm gonna do that right now.
00:11:31.260 We're facing the Suebians. 1.00
00:11:32.700 And it might be prudent to um... 0.85
00:11:36.220 To decimate them a bit at least.
00:11:38.060 And obviously if we can win this battle I would be um...
00:11:42.540 I would be most elated.
00:11:45.180 I wouldn't...
00:11:45.820 The usual garrison is like 420 men.
00:11:49.980 Something like that.
00:11:50.620 But now we have over a thousand men.
00:11:53.500 And so I think it's uh...
00:11:54.780 It can be worthwhile to um...
00:11:58.300 To talk you through this uh...
00:12:00.220 This glorious combat as it were.
00:12:03.980 Because I'm...
00:12:04.540 As I might have said like the...
00:12:06.140 The smaller battles aren't really worthwhile to take.
00:12:09.580 Because this is such a big campaign as it were.
00:12:12.620 But um...
00:12:14.060 When it's a bit more even.
00:12:15.340 It can be very worthwhile to decimate the enemy.
00:12:18.620 To make it easier to reconquer them later on.
00:12:22.460 It would be wonderful to actually subjugate the Suebians. 1.00
00:12:25.180 So that they can uh...
00:12:26.220 Be on our side against all the other...
00:12:29.020 Barbarian hordes uh... 1.00
00:12:30.940 Coming at us from...
00:12:32.220 From the north.
00:12:35.340 All right.
00:12:35.900 Cool.
00:12:37.660 What are we looking at here?
00:12:42.220 There is the general.
00:12:43.260 I'm gonna put the barricades right there.
00:12:50.620 And...
00:12:54.620 I think we're just going to defend this hilltop right here.
00:12:58.780 We could also sally forth and try to protect the towers.
00:13:02.620 But uh...
00:13:03.100 Since they outnumber us so very much um...
00:13:07.900 It's better to just station ourselves up here.
00:13:11.740 We're gonna go with...
00:13:15.820 Heavy shots.
00:13:19.740 Zagitari.
00:13:22.940 You as well.
00:13:23.580 And...
00:13:25.980 Our mission...
00:13:28.300 Will be to take out their general.
00:13:41.180 Defensive Testudo and defend!
00:13:42.700 And now...
00:13:43.900 The roman infantry is very good at uh...
00:13:49.260 At defending.
00:13:50.140 That is uh...
00:13:52.060 One thing that...
00:13:52.780 Defensive Testudo!
00:13:54.380 For certain.
00:13:55.180 All right.
00:14:08.780 We can actually...
00:14:09.420 Do like uh...
00:14:12.060 Do like uh...
00:14:15.580 This instead.
00:14:16.540 And put that...
00:14:18.300 There.
00:14:18.540 And see if they are deterred from taking that route.
00:14:21.740 All right.
00:14:22.140 Cool.
00:14:22.380 I'm gonna keep these units in in reserve.
00:14:25.980 See where we can put them later on.
00:14:27.980 But now we're gonna start the battle.
00:14:31.500 Speeding up the gameplays a bit.
00:14:33.340 And uh...
00:14:38.060 See if we can...
00:14:38.940 We have sighted the enemy!
00:14:41.020 Do anything fun with their general.
00:14:43.900 We don't stand a chance!
00:14:45.900 The enemy outnumbers us!
00:14:47.900 Oh! 0.60
00:14:48.300 That's not a very positive attitude is it?
00:14:57.020 And uh...
00:14:57.500 I just love the graphics of Attila.
00:14:59.580 It looks so bleak and full of despair.
00:15:04.220 They really managed to portray this this time period perfectly.
00:15:08.860 With that.
00:15:11.420 We'll see. 1.00
00:15:13.340 Shooting at them first and foremost. 0.99
00:15:18.860 If we can get in... 0.99
00:15:23.020 Some sort of...
00:15:25.900 Lucky shot at their general.
00:15:27.660 I would be a very happy pale orc.
00:15:35.340 See they're swarming the towers right there.
00:15:40.140 We have revealed they're concealed men!
00:15:42.060 The tower has fallen!
00:15:47.900 The enemy has found our concealed units!
00:15:56.380 I don't really want to charge them.
00:15:58.700 They're only medium infantry.
00:16:00.380 The barricades!
00:16:00.460 The enemy is attacking the barricades!
00:16:06.140 Alright cool they're attacking there now.
00:16:09.340 I do want to keep the general in the vicinity of the action though.
00:16:14.140 I'm gonna try to get in a charger maybe.
00:16:24.940 That could be a cool thing to do.
00:16:27.820 Whoop!
00:16:29.340 A bit of a bit of a bit of lag here I suppose.
00:16:37.340 And uh...
00:16:37.740 The suevians are not particularly careful with their with their general there. 0.99
00:16:44.380 I don't want to get these riders into friendly fire.
00:16:49.340 But I do want...
00:17:05.180 Boom! 0.99
00:17:07.580 That initial impact at least.
00:17:09.180 I'm gonna see if we can uh...
00:17:10.700 Detach ourselves from that um...
00:17:17.260 Let's fight.
00:17:26.380 Right that went well enough I suppose.
00:17:30.140 We get another charge maybe.
00:17:31.980 That would be wonderful.
00:17:34.700 Now Dalos I love you!
00:17:36.380 Boom! 0.99
00:17:41.500 All right not not really any shock cavalry but um...
00:17:45.580 That would have to suffice either way.
00:17:50.060 All right cool they they did not even advance there.
00:17:52.860 How wonderful.
00:17:58.460 Oh look at that!
00:18:00.780 Look at that!
00:18:02.780 The general is running.
00:18:03.820 Wonderful, awesome. 0.99
00:18:07.580 Hopefully he will die as well. 0.98
00:18:24.300 I'm not really sure but I think the enemy will receive um... 0.99
00:18:28.860 Um...
00:18:34.620 Like a debuff in Moral when their general is fleeing like a... 0.98
00:18:39.820 Like a coward. 0.62
00:18:53.420 I'm gonna admire the action for a bit. 1.00
00:18:58.860 Like a coward. 0.96
00:19:08.940 Glory to Rome. 0.99
00:19:15.340 Ah love it.
00:19:17.340 There we are. 1.00
00:19:18.780 Kill those barbarians. 1.00
00:19:19.980 Awesome indeed. 0.99
00:19:25.900 I will edit the battle when we have uh...
00:19:30.300 Come further along the way because this is more like a...
00:19:33.100 Like a grind fest more than anything now.
00:19:36.220 So be right back.
00:19:37.580 All right cool.
00:19:42.860 What I did was I um...
00:19:46.380 Ran over with these guys to to get a proper um...
00:19:51.580 Rear shot right there.
00:19:53.900 So we'll see if we can do any carnage and mayhem with with those units.
00:19:58.380 Also brought up uh...
00:20:00.700 These guys here to get a rear charge.
00:20:04.380 And see what they can do.
00:20:07.020 Also engage the archers here.
00:20:09.420 To break these guys so we perhaps can uh...
00:20:13.820 Get around this way as well.
00:20:15.740 And if you look at the balance of power.
00:20:18.540 They have lost quite...
00:20:20.460 They have lost uh...
00:20:21.420 Almost a thousand units.
00:20:22.940 We have lost 250.
00:20:25.740 So um...
00:20:27.020 That um...
00:20:28.940 That bodes well.
00:20:31.580 And it's...
00:20:32.700 A victory might not be an impossibility.
00:20:35.180 I hope I will obtain a victory now that I said that.
00:20:45.660 All right cool.
00:20:46.540 I edited that way also until they got uh...
00:20:49.900 Until they didn't have any ammunition left.
00:20:53.660 Now we're gonna charge in here.
00:20:54.860 You see they're starting to break away.
00:20:56.540 The blasphemous enemy. 0.88
00:20:58.780 And they are proud sons of Rome.
00:21:01.740 Coming in there to uh...
00:21:03.660 To wreak...
00:21:05.900 Chaos and mayhem.
00:21:08.380 And you see now they're...
00:21:09.660 They're routing.
00:21:10.540 They are routing true friends.
00:21:13.980 They are indeed...
00:21:15.500 Regretting their uh... 0.95
00:21:20.060 Silly mistakes of uh... 0.95
00:21:21.660 Of trying to um... 0.99
00:21:23.260 Attack Rome like that.
00:21:24.620 And you see now the...
00:21:25.740 The whole army is just uh...
00:21:28.300 They're breaking off.
00:21:30.140 Wonderful.
00:21:30.620 I...
00:21:32.860 Did not think we would have this but um...
00:21:37.660 I'm just gonna round them up.
00:21:38.940 Um...
00:21:41.660 Oh look at that.
00:21:43.100 Beautiful.
00:21:43.660 I wish we had some cavalry now.
00:21:45.340 So we can swoop in and uh... 1.00
00:21:47.500 Just annihilate them. 1.00
00:21:52.220 All right. 1.00
00:21:52.700 I might have...
00:21:55.020 Proclaimed victory...
00:21:57.180 A bit prematurely there.
00:21:59.100 But uh...
00:22:03.260 I edited away the little route.
00:22:05.500 Um...
00:22:07.340 They've managed to rally some units.
00:22:09.020 And they still have this block.
00:22:10.700 Which is uh...
00:22:11.660 A cause for um...
00:22:14.620 For um...
00:22:17.340 Worry as it were.
00:22:19.020 However we are...
00:22:22.460 Double the amount of men right now.
00:22:25.500 So uh...
00:22:27.020 I suppose they will not rally these guys. 0.99
00:22:29.340 Fucking just get around. 0.99
00:22:35.820 There with them. 1.00
00:22:43.020 The men are broken and running for their lives.
00:22:46.060 Okay.
00:22:46.460 So they have...
00:22:48.860 Not good at all.
00:22:49.980 They've managed to break these uh...
00:22:51.740 Break these units.
00:22:59.340 Now the balance of power is still in our favor.
00:23:01.660 However...
00:23:04.380 If they get this...
00:23:06.860 They will have a morale bonus.
00:23:08.700 Which then could possibly...
00:23:11.580 Lead to them rallying their men.
00:23:13.260 Our men return to the fight!
00:23:21.260 And now I don't want to lose this because I...
00:23:24.300 Um...
00:23:26.780 Yeah you see how close you are to victory right now so...
00:23:31.660 I am not relinquishing this glorious victory for Rome.
00:23:35.820 Exhausted taking fire.
00:23:42.380 Ah...
00:23:42.940 Stand for me.
00:23:45.020 And there we are.
00:23:45.820 Brilliant.
00:23:46.620 Yes.
00:23:48.540 Beautiful.
00:23:49.340 Close victory.
00:23:51.660 Ah...
00:23:52.060 That felt um...
00:23:53.420 Felt rather good.
00:23:54.220 I hope it was fine with all of my edits and cuts there.
00:23:57.900 But I thought like um...
00:23:59.340 Don't want to spend too much time just watching the...
00:24:02.620 The grind as it were.
00:24:04.380 But uh...
00:24:04.940 But yeah cool.
00:24:05.580 We got um...
00:24:07.260 We got them.
00:24:08.540 Take on...
00:24:10.060 Warriors.
00:24:10.860 Yes please.
00:24:14.860 Are they coming again?
00:24:19.420 Ah for the love of god.
00:24:21.740 So we did that in vain.
00:24:25.340 Oh well.
00:24:26.220 They fought bravely.
00:24:27.500 And got uh...
00:24:29.580 Battle at least in this episode.
00:24:32.220 Um...
00:24:32.620 Um...
00:24:33.820 Then their king came and...
00:24:40.220 Right.
00:24:41.180 Um...
00:24:41.740 I'm gonna send out an army to subjugate them. 1.00
00:24:45.020 I think.
00:24:46.700 You can use the army stationed in...
00:24:50.140 Northern Italy.
00:24:51.020 All righty then.
00:24:57.900 I um...
00:25:00.220 Edited the rest of the turn away right there.
00:25:02.780 And I think we can...
00:25:04.620 Round this uh...
00:25:06.860 Glorious episode up right here.
00:25:08.620 So what we're looking at doing next turn.
00:25:10.620 A rebel army right there.
00:25:13.020 Obviously...
00:25:14.460 Not good one bit.
00:25:15.740 I'm gonna see if we can out-resolve that straight away.
00:25:18.540 Actually.
00:25:18.860 Beginning my journey for Rome.
00:25:24.540 Wipe them out!
00:25:26.620 Ah beautiful.
00:25:28.220 We could actually.
00:25:32.140 I'm gonna take on those...
00:25:33.900 Warriors.
00:25:34.460 So.
00:25:35.020 Ready for orders.
00:25:36.140 Um...
