00:00:00.000 Greetings, my esteemed Laddingtons. I will sound like a complete normaling now, but I am excited.
00:00:09.820 Excited indeed to share this fine game with you. I have waited a long time for this and
00:00:15.820 as I will elaborate on further as we get into the game, this game, Age of Empires 2,
00:00:21.800 has been a huge influence of mine. And yeah, I will credit my history interest to this game.
00:00:32.940 I played it a lot, played it a lot with my brother back in the day. So we're just gonna have a look
00:00:38.160 through the campaigns and the historical battles and then we'll pick a campaign and get into it and
00:00:44.160 I will talk more about the influence it had on me. So yeah, as I said, I had a quick look at
00:00:51.780 it by myself yesterday and it looked absolutely amazing. They remastered the music as well.
00:00:57.900 Absolutely glorious in the correct sense of the word. So let's look at historical battles first.
00:01:05.500 So we have a lot of epicness here. I shared this on Telegram and Twitter yesterday and Instagram,
00:01:12.800 of course, because I was so excited. Not often I get excited by a game like this, but since it's
00:01:20.460 been with me for such a long time, I am very excited. So we have York, Vinland Saga. I remember
00:01:28.360 that one. Hastings, I do not remember being part of the first game when it came out. Aging Court,
00:01:36.280 though, I mentioned this in a recent Swedish History video when I talked about knights. Then Tours,
00:01:43.080 of course, of course, which I've talked a lot about in also various history videos. Then we have
00:01:48.680 Lepanto, glorious battle. So anyway, we have a lot of cool things here to dive into later on. So I do
00:02:00.960 believe that Assassin's Creed will be on hold for a little bit because we have so much historical
00:02:07.520 juiciness to get into here. So my thought was to get into some sort of campaign. And this is the
00:02:15.360 good stuff, of course, because it's Europe. But I will just show you the other campaigns also really
00:02:20.740 quickly. So we have Montezuma. Loved that campaign when I played it back in the day. Loved playing as
00:02:28.040 the Aztecs. Then we have a new, for me at least, because I didn't play Forgotten Kingdoms. I only
00:02:36.840 played the Age of Conquerors. So the Incas can be interesting to play as as well. Then we have a lot
00:02:46.420 of interesting stuff here. And the great thing with this game is that for me, I've learned so much
00:02:54.800 history from it and you can still learn so much from it. So I have honestly no real idea who any of
00:03:00.900 these are. And it will be nice to get into them at some point. Genghis Khan, classic campaign. I loved
00:03:09.380 playing that back in the day too. Tamerlane. I have actually read a book on the Mughal invasion and
00:03:18.600 then they discuss who was the greatest, Tamerlane or Genghis Khan. So the descendants of them.
00:03:24.800 When they invade India, they discuss who was the greatest of those two. So Tamerlane. Fascinating story
00:03:30.500 as well. Might make a campaign at some point. We have Africa. Saladin. Great campaign. Obviously you
00:03:40.700 are playing for the wrong side, but Saladin was a man of honor. So we have to respect that. Then we have
00:03:48.020 some other campaigns which I don't know anything about either. Then we have Francisco de Almeida
00:03:54.780 of glorious Portugal. Might be nice to look into as well. Now back to the main thing here. I have played
00:04:05.040 of course back in the day. Attila. I've talked about this on numerous occasions, both in text,
00:04:12.960 in my book and in videos and in articles, etc. The sheer epicness, the sheer epic sensation of being in
00:04:20.720 the late stages of the Roman Empire. And of course Attila, the legend of Attila. As you can see here,
00:04:28.280 Scourge of God. It's an epic thing to think about, especially in the situation we are in Western
00:04:36.380 Europe today. Quite similar to Western Europe in that time. But yeah, I will save that for another
00:04:44.880 time. We have Alarik, epic name. And I have made Let's Play episodes in Attila Total War as well
00:04:54.520 on both the Romans themselves and the Ostrogoths. And yeah, some Let's Plays there. So that is one
00:05:07.220 option of course for us to make a Let's Play. El Cid. Highly motivating story. I talked about it
00:05:14.540 briefly in my Spanish Reconquista video I released two months back. William Wallace. This
00:05:24.120 is a learning campaign, so this wasn't really all too intriguing. But yeah, I played that back in
00:05:28.800 the day as well. Joan of Arc. Also an epic campaign. I played back in the day. Same thing
00:05:35.960 with Barbarossa. So yeah, a lot of cool things to choose from. What I will choose though, what I
00:05:43.140 think is most reasonable, is to play Dracula. Because I haven't played this campaign. Because
00:05:48.920 this is, yeah, as I said, I only played up until the Age of Conquerors. Then I didn't really play
00:05:54.100 the expansions. But now when they released everything, I am very excited indeed to get
00:06:00.480 into it. So without further ado, let's get into Valachia. The dragon spreads his wings. So
00:06:09.600 let's get into it. Boom.
00:06:11.420 We could not make camp in the damp forest blade. So I led my companions along an old path towards
00:06:19.540 the base of the mountain. It was overgrown with all manner of foliage, and the footing was difficult.
00:06:28.820 Armor and weapons littered the path, and stakes stood tall, covered with vines and moss.
00:06:35.960 Glancing around, I spotted a magnificent blade. Light yet firm, and unblemished by the elements
00:06:45.780 it shone in the rain and lightning, a long light in the darkening trail. The hilt was fashioned
00:06:53.960 from steel, inlaid with silver and gold, to form the figure of a defiant, wingless dragon.
00:07:01.240 As we reached the summit, I could not believe my eyes. A ruined yet imposing castle loomed above
00:07:09.060 us. Quietly rejoicing my comrades move towards that new camp. Then, the massive wolves bounded
00:07:20.240 out of the door of the castle towards my soldiers. Hearing for their lives, they drew weapons. Only
00:07:27.140 to hear a voice from the shadows address the wolves, or the men, in a thick Malachian accent.
00:07:34.960 Stand down, fellows. Throwing large slabs of meat to the ravenous wolves, he calmed them and satiated their hunger.
00:07:46.960 Then, he turned to us. Welcome to Polinari Castle, the ancient stronghold of the Drachulesti.
00:07:56.780 A mysterious man raised his hands in a gesture of welcome. It is well that your path has led you
00:08:06.440 here. Come inside, sit by the fire and feast, while I tell you the tale of the mad Dracula.
00:08:15.440 Epic introduction. Okay, so we are in the game. Main objectives. Vlad Dracula must survive.
00:08:30.620 We look at the hints too. And a note on that introduction. When I played it back in the day,
00:08:37.540 I always found those introductions so absolutely motivating. So yeah, good times. Anyway, let's get
00:08:48.440 back to the hints. Valachia is a dense and mountainous region. Use your ranged units well
00:08:53.580 and beware of those of your enemies. The local vovoids and their troops are a means to an end.
00:08:59.500 Be frugal, but do not despair if some fall in battle. Keep an eye out for Valachian partisans
00:09:05.900 that are willing to join your army. Demolition ships are deadly to anything too close to the shoreline.
00:09:12.640 Deleting them when they are adjacent to a target accomplishes the same effect as a direct hit.
00:09:20.620 The explosions of the Danesti gunpowder tower will destroy the bridge and anything on it.
00:09:26.800 Do not lose men needlessly. On standard difficulty, a monk will accompany your force.
00:09:33.300 Yes, I actually did play on standard because I didn't want to come across.
00:09:38.340 I didn't want to lose in this fine episode.
00:09:42.680 So we have some scout reports here as well.
00:09:45.540 Dracula, in red, has arrived in Valachia at the head of a small Ottoman force.
00:09:51.780 These men will serve to guard him initially, but more men must be recruited if Valachia is to be taken.
00:09:57.820 Three local vovoids rule the southern half of the map.
00:10:03.820 Should Dracula prove his mettle, they may swear filthy to him.
00:10:09.440 And some other things.
00:10:13.200 The designs of Hungary are unknown, but it is no friend of Dracula's Turkish patrons.
00:10:17.540 My lord, the landscape around us is crawling with the nasty scum.
00:10:24.220 But three local voivodes resist Vladislav's reign.
00:10:29.860 We should seek them out and see if they are willing to join our cause.
00:10:36.180 All right, let's do it.
00:10:39.940 And as you can see, the game looks absolutely amazing.
00:10:43.500 I mean, the graphics and just the feel of it.
00:10:46.880 So, yeah, I'm very impressed.
00:10:49.360 I am impressed by your performance.
00:10:51.800 That's my George St. Pierre imitation.
00:10:56.020 But yeah, to anyone who has been part of making this game, well done.
00:11:03.800 We have a monk here.
00:11:06.320 I will try to convert something fun with it.
00:11:09.900 Did we actually get someone?
00:11:14.460 No.
00:11:15.860 Our soldiers killed them before we could get a chance.
00:11:18.920 I can heal someone, though.
00:11:20.500 Can you heal this guy?
00:11:25.480 Void Mirkia.
00:11:26.980 Okay.
00:11:27.660 Hi, it's an ally.
00:11:28.940 How nice.
00:11:30.740 Slavic true friend.
00:11:31.940 And up here we have Voivod Jakub.
00:11:39.380 Good stuff, good stuff.
00:11:41.160 So, yeah, as you can see, the graphics are very much improved.
00:11:47.860 Actually, it looks better than Age of Empires 3, I would say, which had amazing graphics.
00:11:54.320 Hello, lads.
00:11:55.720 We have come to...
00:11:56.940 Dracula, your timing could not have been better.
00:12:00.840 Vradslav's forces march here as we speak.
00:12:05.580 Take my men and drive them off.
00:12:09.760 Right, who are the...
00:12:12.120 Aha, they're up here.
00:12:14.420 Forward men.
00:12:16.280 Bring me Mircha's head.
00:12:18.440 Hmm, I think I might have set the difficulty level to a bit too low, because this might seem a bit easy.
00:12:32.260 I don't know.
00:12:33.060 We'll see how this develops.
00:12:37.040 I'm gonna try to convert this boyar.
00:12:41.020 He looks great.
00:12:42.180 Oh, right.
00:12:42.740 I am a bit noobish now, because I rushed in with my cavalry.
00:12:50.040 I'm not supposed to, of course, rush in with cavalry into pikemen like that.
00:13:00.280 But, oh well.
00:13:02.620 I haven't played in a while.
00:13:03.860 I have to blame that.
00:13:05.220 So, as I was saying, my brother and I, and our friends, back in the day when we were like 12 until 14, 15, played.
00:13:20.480 Okay, thank you, mate.
00:13:22.640 Yeah, we played a lot.
00:13:24.260 Played a lot of LAN.
00:13:25.300 So, yeah, watch on Highland, Black Forest.
00:13:30.620 He's teaming up with each other and fighting against the computers.
00:13:36.720 It was good times, good times.
00:13:39.540 And really got that sense of epicness in it all.
00:13:48.140 Now, I want to convert something fun with this monk bra.
00:13:52.040 Now, maybe I can reach this boyar and convert him.
00:14:00.620 Ah, they were.
00:14:01.380 I managed to do it.
00:14:03.400 Now, I have a boyar to play with.
00:14:07.540 So, yes, I have to go up there and see what is up.
00:14:14.020 And, as I mentioned in the beginning of the video, they have remade, remastered the music.
00:14:25.940 And, actually, sometimes when I write, when I've written on my book Dauntless and also on my book, my coming book,
00:14:33.460 I sometimes put the soundtrack of Age of Vampires 2 on to get that epic sensation.
00:14:41.420 Music is really good.
00:14:43.280 Especially for Age of Kings, the first game.
00:14:49.460 That rascal Vladislav has seized the nearby settlement and cut us off from our trade.
00:14:55.260 That rascal Vladislav.
00:15:03.340 Okay, let's do it.
00:15:04.740 Aha, we got a battering ram as well.
00:15:07.600 See if we can...
00:15:09.260 They're speaking Turkish.
00:15:12.040 How blasphemous.
00:15:15.340 Oh, well, it is what it is.
00:15:19.220 We have to make the best out of the situation.
00:15:22.780 So, anyway, speaking of Hungary and Romania, I don't know what has happened.
00:15:28.540 But, every time I mention anything related to Romania,
00:15:34.380 there is always some Hungarians who are mightily upset.
00:15:42.580 Aha, look at that.
00:15:45.520 We actually managed to convert the boyar and then he got shot to death, anyway.
00:15:51.500 Admire this aesthetic waterfall.
00:15:58.320 Hello, lads.
00:15:59.340 So, yeah, if you're a Hungarian, it's not a good look.
00:16:02.800 It's just annoying.
00:16:04.120 And, especially for Americans and Western Europeans,
00:16:10.800 we're not really overly concerned with your centuries-old conflicts.
00:16:15.520 So, yeah, no one cares.
00:16:21.640 That being said, I will try to convert this guy.
00:16:25.960 I don't want my monk to die, though.
00:16:27.600 Oh, back, back, back.
00:16:28.700 This is the guy we need to convert.
00:16:40.720 Nah, he didn't make it.
00:16:43.360 A shame.
00:16:49.240 So, anyway, I've got some questions.
00:16:51.720 My favorite civilization.
00:16:52.880 In Age of Empires 2.
00:17:03.560 Perfect.
00:17:04.140 Always nice with gold.
00:17:05.680 Something you always need if you are to engage in some sort of war.
00:17:11.360 Anyway, as I was saying,
00:17:13.400 I actually posted on Instagram in the spring when I was in Holland.
00:17:18.420 We had a good few activities.
00:17:21.500 One of those was throwing axes.
00:17:25.760 And then I posted to Instagram
00:17:27.160 that a Frankish throwing axe man is checking in.
00:17:32.960 And I asked what everyone's favorite faction and such is.
00:17:43.680 And I responded that my own might be either the Teutons or the Britons.
00:17:49.220 But I'm not sure.
00:17:50.360 Might be the Goths as well.
00:17:53.360 A lot of cool civilizations.
00:17:54.840 And the interesting thing here now for me is that
00:17:57.500 since I haven't played so many of these new factions,
00:18:00.640 it's, yeah, I'm like a child on Christmas.
00:18:03.660 So many new packages to open.
00:18:05.960 So, yeah.
00:18:08.060 Good times.
00:18:09.260 Good times.
00:18:09.740 And here we have Vlad Dracula.
00:18:13.680 Very aesthetic unit.
00:18:17.760 An absolute unit, one might say.
00:18:21.020 And now I suppose
00:18:22.440 we have to recruit one more Vovoid.
00:18:26.500 And he's up here.
00:18:28.580 So we'll just cross the map.
00:18:31.480 I will explore a bit with this Mad Cont.
00:18:33.620 Ah, some local partisans.
00:18:43.080 Our scouting was a good idea.
00:18:48.040 So anyway, I have contracted a...
00:18:51.620 an artist with a heart on the right place
00:18:56.360 to make a cool Vlad Dracula design
00:18:59.200 that I will use for
00:19:01.240 Legio Gloria clothing.
00:19:03.960 So, yeah, stay tuned for that.
00:19:06.800 Speaking of which, we have some
00:19:08.200 new, absolutely epic garments
00:19:10.880 coming out later today or tomorrow.
00:19:13.500 The Greatest Garment, I've called it.
00:19:18.680 But I will elaborate more on that
00:19:20.200 in a video log of sorts.
00:19:25.460 Now I will try to
00:19:27.200 shoot these guys from far.
00:19:36.640 And...
00:19:37.200 Try to convert this guy.
00:19:38.840 No.
00:19:39.820 Our soldiers, they're too quick at killing.
00:19:42.340 the enemy.
00:19:50.800 Oh, look at that.
00:19:52.080 Aha, we have a wolf on our tails.
00:19:54.100 We need to...
00:19:55.400 I'm sorry for the wildlife,
00:19:57.680 but I had to do it
00:19:59.580 to save my men.
00:20:02.660 Saks are quite...
00:20:04.660 infected.
00:20:05.260 Vladisov pillages my lands
00:20:07.420 with impunity, Dracula.
00:20:10.040 Even now, more of his rivers
00:20:12.140 prepare to cross the nearby bridge.
00:20:16.500 Find a way to destroy it,
00:20:18.680 and all of the men
00:20:20.220 that I can muster are yours.
00:20:23.060 Yeah, as I was saying, there's a...
00:20:24.920 Lord Rahula,
00:20:26.260 the Daneshti fools store a cache of gunpowder
00:20:29.380 inside that tower overlooking the river.
00:20:33.100 If we were to fire it,
00:20:35.300 the explosion would surely be enough
00:20:37.420 to demolish that bridge.
00:20:39.000 I, um, I must do it.
00:20:42.860 Now, as I was saying,
00:20:45.580 um, a frequent occurrence
00:20:47.660 that I get interrupted
00:20:49.200 when I make let's plays,
00:20:50.360 but it's all good.
00:20:51.860 Um, what I was saying is that
00:20:54.700 there is a rather
00:20:56.220 infected conflict
00:20:58.680 in, uh, in Sweden
00:21:02.740 when it comes to
00:21:04.320 wolf hunting,
00:21:07.460 where the people
00:21:09.020 on the countryside
00:21:09.820 who are getting,
00:21:12.160 well,
00:21:13.160 their pets and livestock
00:21:14.560 get attacked by wolves.
00:21:16.060 They are not all too keen on
00:21:17.240 on the wolves,
00:21:18.460 but the people in the cities
00:21:19.560 are more
00:21:20.100 protective of them.
00:21:22.120 So, um,
00:21:23.420 so, yeah, that's, um,
00:21:24.900 uh, well, somewhat hot
00:21:26.700 topic in Sweden.
00:21:27.740 Now, of course,
00:21:28.780 we have bigger, um,
00:21:30.180 problems in Sweden
00:21:31.180 these days, but, uh,
00:21:33.380 but it's still there.
00:21:35.320 The, um,
00:21:36.320 that little conflict.
00:21:38.520 Okay, so now we'll
00:21:39.560 blow this bridge up.
00:21:44.200 Boom.
00:21:46.100 Ah-ha!
00:21:47.720 The sweet smell
00:21:49.300 of burning gunpowder.
00:21:51.280 Ho-ho!
00:21:51.820 You are a man
00:21:53.200 worthy of my loyalty, Dracula.
00:21:55.500 The wolf is cornered,
00:21:59.660 but not yet dead.
00:22:01.160 It is time to take
00:22:02.180 the fight
00:22:02.780 to his den.
00:22:06.280 All right,
00:22:06.940 let's do it.
00:22:07.720 We need to...
00:22:09.500 Okay, we have to go back
00:22:10.900 to, uh,
00:22:12.900 that place.
00:22:14.740 Now we have quite
00:22:15.520 a sizable force here.
00:22:16.940 But, uh,
00:22:24.180 we're playing as
00:22:24.880 the Turks.
00:22:26.000 I, um,
00:22:27.180 I don't understand.
00:22:28.700 This is, um,
00:22:30.180 it's not reasonable
00:22:33.220 in the least.
00:22:34.820 Um,
00:22:35.440 speaking of Turks,
00:22:36.780 my friend
00:22:39.080 Survived the Jive
00:22:40.120 made a, uh,
00:22:42.160 good documentary video
00:22:43.320 called
00:22:44.300 In Search of
00:22:45.400 the Anatolian Earth Mother.
00:22:48.280 Or, uh,
00:22:48.940 something like that.
00:22:49.960 So, um,
00:22:50.780 yeah,
00:22:50.980 in the documentary
00:22:51.640 he goes to Turkey
00:22:52.880 and, uh,
00:22:55.300 looks at some
00:22:56.360 old Lycaean
00:22:57.520 ruins and temples,
00:22:59.580 et cetera.
00:23:02.880 I utilized
00:23:03.920 a little edit
00:23:04.900 there,
00:23:05.280 and now we have
00:23:06.180 to admire
00:23:06.760 the grand procession
00:23:08.780 of soldiers
00:23:09.620 crossing this bridge
00:23:10.780 here.
00:23:11.960 So, anyway,
00:23:13.080 Dracula,
00:23:14.480 for those of you
00:23:15.780 who do not know
00:23:16.980 about Vlad Tsepec,
00:23:19.320 great European hero,
00:23:21.580 someone we can draw
00:23:22.320 inspiration from
00:23:23.060 in, um,
00:23:24.340 in these dire times.
00:23:25.920 So, uh,
00:23:27.560 that's why I
00:23:28.420 decided to make
00:23:29.400 this campaign first.
00:23:30.780 And, of course,
00:23:31.500 since I haven't played
00:23:32.320 this actual campaign,
00:23:34.160 uh,
00:23:34.600 so it's, uh,
00:23:35.400 yeah,
00:23:35.600 as I said,
00:23:36.380 uh,
00:23:36.900 some,
00:23:37.400 some new,
00:23:38.020 um,
00:23:39.660 Christmas presents
00:23:40.560 for me to open,
00:23:41.560 so to speak.
00:23:42.180 Oh,
00:23:42.520 damn,
00:23:42.980 we have stumbled upon
00:23:44.180 the Danesti
00:23:47.000 forces here.
00:23:51.600 But they proved
00:23:52.900 to be no problem.
00:23:55.780 Ah-ha,
00:23:56.140 we have, uh,
00:23:57.200 gotten some, um,
00:23:58.680 fresh troops here.
00:23:59.440 Such a beautiful map.
00:24:10.060 We have, uh,
00:24:11.000 Ibex here.
00:24:15.180 Let's see if we can
00:24:15.900 convert this pikeman.
00:24:21.380 No.
00:24:22.780 He managed to die
00:24:24.100 before.
00:24:24.500 So anyway,
00:24:35.000 comment below
00:24:35.660 in the comment section
00:24:37.100 if you watched
00:24:38.160 this far
00:24:38.980 what your
00:24:40.200 favorite civilization is.
00:24:42.940 It's always nice
00:24:44.240 to hear.
00:24:47.400 Actually,
00:24:47.980 I was going to say
00:24:48.640 something as well
00:24:49.360 about
00:24:50.780 Age of Empires 2.
00:24:53.740 I have a good
00:24:54.920 analysis,
00:24:56.720 well,
00:24:57.220 in my
00:24:57.600 humble opinion
00:24:58.700 at least,
00:24:59.200 it's good,
00:24:59.800 on why
00:25:00.440 the Age of Empires 2
00:25:02.480 community
00:25:02.980 is so much
00:25:04.700 friendlier
00:25:05.900 than a lot of
00:25:07.280 other online
00:25:08.180 gaming communities.
00:25:09.660 And it's
00:25:10.540 I am born in
00:25:12.320 89,
00:25:13.000 by the way,
00:25:13.460 so I'm 30 now.
00:25:15.420 Back in our
00:25:16.420 in our day,
00:25:18.640 as it were,
00:25:19.800 it wasn't as
00:25:21.620 easy to get
00:25:22.360 games,
00:25:23.280 to find
00:25:23.840 games,
00:25:27.360 so,
00:25:27.980 yeah,
00:25:29.180 it wasn't as
00:25:29.660 easy to
00:25:30.320 find other
00:25:31.300 people to play
00:25:31.920 with,
00:25:32.320 and when you
00:25:33.060 did,
00:25:33.880 you viewed
00:25:35.200 each other
00:25:35.680 as friends
00:25:36.920 in,
00:25:38.240 in a
00:25:39.860 different way
00:25:40.480 than you
00:25:40.820 perhaps do
00:25:41.320 today.
00:25:46.420 So,
00:25:51.440 and also
00:25:52.000 since,
00:25:53.100 yeah,
00:25:53.260 it was a
00:25:53.580 different time
00:25:54.060 on the internet,
00:25:54.620 I think people
00:25:55.100 were a bit
00:25:55.480 friendlier,
00:25:56.240 especially in
00:25:56.740 the gaming
00:25:57.080 community,
00:25:58.500 back then
00:25:59.040 at least,
00:26:00.420 whereas people
00:26:02.120 are a bit
00:26:02.660 unfriendlier
00:26:03.760 now,
00:26:04.200 I suppose.
00:26:07.300 That being
00:26:07.940 said,
00:26:08.320 let us
00:26:08.880 illuminate
00:26:09.920 these heretics.
00:26:16.420 where have
00:26:22.360 our monk
00:26:23.060 disappeared?
00:26:24.600 I want to
00:26:25.140 convert something
00:26:25.960 fun with
00:26:27.720 him.
00:26:35.160 And we need
00:26:35.940 to keep Dracula
00:26:36.740 back, I suppose,
00:26:38.480 so he doesn't
00:26:38.960 die.
00:26:39.440 That would be
00:26:40.960 quite unfortunate,
00:26:43.040 so close to
00:26:43.840 the end of
00:26:44.360 this camp.
00:26:46.420 pain.
00:26:57.900 I'm
00:26:58.320 perhaps
00:26:58.700 micromanaging
00:27:00.200 as well as I
00:27:00.980 should, but
00:27:01.720 it is what
00:27:04.340 it is.
00:27:05.820 We have to
00:27:06.420 defend our
00:27:06.940 battering ram at
00:27:07.640 least.
00:27:16.420 I actually
00:27:20.720 thought about
00:27:21.380 live-streaming
00:27:22.820 this, but
00:27:25.320 I am...
00:27:28.320 play only
00:27:28.920 nasty that you
00:27:29.760 find, but
00:27:30.700 bring Vladislav
00:27:31.720 to me.
00:27:32.580 I want him
00:27:33.200 alive.
00:27:34.680 I want him
00:27:35.180 alive.
00:27:35.960 Uh, yeah,
00:27:36.420 no, in
00:27:36.840 regard to
00:27:37.180 live-streaming.
00:27:37.800 You are
00:27:57.980 victorious.
00:27:58.580 Okay, cool, yes.
00:28:03.100 I stepped forth,
00:28:04.960 holding out the
00:28:06.000 mysterious sword and
00:28:07.340 scabbard for our
00:28:08.600 host to inspect.
00:28:09.860 the order of the
00:28:12.360 dragon, she said
00:28:13.640 at once.
00:28:15.360 What you have just
00:28:16.480 brought me is the
00:28:18.080 lost blade of Vlad
00:28:19.880 Dracula himself.
00:28:21.760 I was shocked and
00:28:24.120 immediately demanded
00:28:25.640 an explanation.
00:28:27.680 Our host's eyes
00:28:29.360 flashed and there
00:28:31.400 was a strained look
00:28:32.560 on his face.
00:28:34.120 Finally, the rush
00:28:35.480 of memory seemed
00:28:36.820 to slow and
00:28:38.000 become more
00:28:38.900 controlled.
00:28:41.060 That is a long
00:28:42.880 story, but
00:28:45.180 then again, we
00:28:47.060 have a long
00:28:48.080 time until
00:28:49.420 dawn.
00:28:50.080 Dracula sought
00:28:51.960 refuge at the
00:28:52.860 Moldavian court.
00:28:54.680 There, he learned
00:28:56.280 that Vladislav II
00:28:58.060 had begun to
00:28:59.000 mediate peace
00:28:59.920 talks between
00:29:01.120 the Ottomans
00:29:02.160 and Hungarians,
00:29:03.720 securing his
00:29:04.860 position as
00:29:05.880 voivode of
00:29:07.240 Valeria.
00:29:09.400 Furious,
00:29:10.380 Dracula swore
00:29:11.320 vengeance on
00:29:12.680 Ottomans, Valachian
00:29:14.040 boyars, and
00:29:15.100 Danish, the
00:29:15.920 clansmen alike.
00:29:20.080 as is
00:29:21.860 reasonable.
00:29:24.500 So, yes,
00:29:26.120 now, as I was
00:29:27.080 going to say, I
00:29:28.100 prefer making
00:29:29.020 let's plays because
00:29:29.800 then you can watch
00:29:30.600 it whenever and
00:29:32.120 you don't need to
00:29:33.320 book in a special
00:29:35.820 time, even though
00:29:36.540 it's fun with the
00:29:37.200 interaction and all,
00:29:38.120 but yeah, I do
00:29:38.880 prefer just making a
00:29:39.940 video and then
00:29:40.540 uploading it to
00:29:41.440 YouTube.
00:29:42.640 So, next episode,
00:29:44.120 I suppose, will go to
00:29:45.280 Return of the
00:29:46.960 Dragon.
00:29:47.300 good times,
00:29:48.940 good times.
00:29:49.800 So, thank you
00:29:50.560 all for watching
00:29:51.620 and have a great
00:29:53.100 rest of your
00:29:53.820 day.
00:29:54.380 XXO, boom!
