Time Text
Greetings you proud sons of Rome and welcome back to our still quite intact Imperium.
I picked up exactly where I left off last time because this first few turns are quite important actually.
So I'm gonna take all of them in all like Celti.
That is my plan because once we have like established our power in the first few turns it will become easier later on and then I can take like make a let's play each two years or something like that.
But yeah, what is actually up right now?
First of all, boom.
Minus one in corruption.
That is brilliant.
I think I will actually do like this.
Garrison them.
See what these guys will actually do and because now they can't really good god it's expensive to repair.
Alright, I'm gonna do like this.
It's it's too expensive for me to repair.
I'm gonna stand right about there, recruit some glorious units and then next turn yeah, we'll gauge what they're doing and then respond accordingly.
Now, last time we recruited a priest, we're gonna deploy you right there and also we're gonna recruit some friends to you.
What's that?
Wealth from commerce, buildings?
Yes please, FOI Mirin, you can serve the people of Rome by um, by um yeah, increasing the, the revenue from different things.
Fiorentina, we can build something there and I know this by now.
But let's consult the fertility rich fertility base, fertility five, which means that when we're building something here, I'm gonna go with a wheat field, because if you look at the left hand side, 18 plus per local fertility level, which obviously beats 10 plus per local fertility level.
So let's go with that.
Thank you very much.
And then also, I have been thinking, and that has led me to the conclusion that we need to establish ourselves in in Spain quite a bit, because they will become unhappy sooner or later.
So I'm gonna try to build up the countryside here.
Corduba, obviously important place to spend money.
Roman Paganism.
We're not quite out for that.
At Tabarne, we can recruit spies.
Yes, please.
That is a great idea in all actuality, because those can lower corruption and thus increase our income and our friends here.
The Gautilians haven't really moved, which makes us stand still here.
I'm gonna consult the diplomacy see if anyone is interested in being my friend the Garamanteans.
Okay, so we're actually honored emissary.
Do we have anything else?
Illyria.
Okay, no, I'm not gonna waste any more time on futile diplomacy.
Enter an bum, look at that.
Another provincial governor.
How quaint.
We're gonna go with Kartagensis, I suppose.
And we're gonna look at one of these guys to um Hilarious.
I like the name.
And that's not because it's supposed to be Hilarious.
Like Hilarious, but because Hilarious sounds cool.
We're actually gonna go with Bread and Games directly.
I thought about going for the lower of corruption, but we're gonna have a problem with the public order soon enough, so I might as well start doing that right now.
And let's end the turn and see what the crack just might be.
And now as I said in the previous, aka the first episode of this highly glorious Let's Play series, Britain has been yielded to the blasphemous enemy because there is just no chance we can hold on to it.
Same with northern France and the outer regions east of Italy.
True soldiers of the good lord.
No, I'm sorry, my friend.
Sorry, true friends, but not really interested in having more enemies to be honest.
Although I'm certain the Visigoths will perhaps look at that, where are they going?
Okay, they retreated.
The bastard.
Ostrogoths as well.
We are facing numerous enemies and Illyria are coming at us right now.
Do you know what Illyria?
I'm giving that to you.
That's nice, isn't it, of me?
Just give us something like that.
Okay, it's not like I had any choice, like they were gonna take it either way.
Why weren't they occupying that, though?
They're so silly.
Okay, so what we're gonna need and desperately need is sanitation.
Okay, so now we're in a bit of a situation here because I don't wanna pay upkeep for these guys.
But at the same time, the sons of Maharm are lurking there.
I'm gonna see if I can do anything fun with my priests here.
Can deploy you.
And I'm gonna bring you up to this region right there.
I should have worn different sandals.
Quite so indeed.
do you have any special kind of ability increases public order We should have utilized those perhaps in Spain or something.
Svebians, do you want a territory?
My time is better spent feasting and hunting than listening.
So be quick with your chatting.
Do you want Lugundum?
You can have it.
There we are.
Beautiful.
So, we gifted the region of Lugundum to them.
And now we don't have to worry about them sacking any of our other settlements, hopefully.
Gonna see their attitude towards us now.
Improving.
Look at that.
We're even friends now.
How about that?
We're gonna see if there is any other one who wants territory.
Visigoths, maybe.
Do you want to want a territory?
Maybe.
Where are thou?
Visigoths?
Hello, Maine.
My time is better spent feasting and hunting than listening.
So be quick with your chattering.
Let's see if we can...
No, they don't want a...
There we are.
Okay, do we have anyone...
Okay, these guys are really hurt, so I don't really have any incentive of giving Aqualia away, to be honest.
So yeah, let's look at the economic part of it all.
Spain will become rebellious, so we need to deal with that somehow.
Public order and sanitation.
No question about that at all.
Brilliant.
Yes, thank you very much.
Hispalis.
We can upgrade you to a colonia.
It's a cost on food, but we gain public order and provides garrison, a large garrison, which will obviously shield against blasphemous incursions.
And Samir Bathhouse.
Somyas basically going all over the board to try to appease these guys.
And what works right there?
Palma.
Public order decreasing there as well.
Public order.
I'm actually gonna wait there.
And these guys obviously are costing us a good bit of upkeep and not really doing anything.
Which is a source of concern.
I'm actually gonna be a bit bold here and send them out down here to outmaneuver these Africans.
And then we'll see if the other Africans are attacking us.
Let us, true friends, look at the possibility of do we charge or do we stay put?
Decisions, decisions.
All right, this is what we do.
But I'm 900, like we could charge.
We could charge that settlement.
Indeed, mercenary Ogres, Onagars I mean, this is not warhammer they might sally forth to try to take us all right.
Do you know what true friends?
We're gonna avenge the, the loss from the last episode, and uh, and get at him.
Now let's uh, let's do it, true friends, this might be a fun, fun thing to do in this glorious second episode, to get, get a revenge.
As I said, I did not anticipate that they were gonna retreat with their army, so that forced me to recruit a unit and recruit some mercenaries.
Now obviously, if I'm gonna try to get the, the mercenaries to die devious cunt as I am if they don't die, I will just disband them directly afterwards.
So you don't dig into our treasury too much.
Dry yes, I prefer to be dry.
And then obviously, I have these guys who will be utilized to smash this, this thing.
Otherwise we will just start the battle and then figure out some, some sort of way to deal with him.
Okay, so we're gonna land with some skirmishers they are very welcome to do so actually flaming round.
Yes, I don't really care if this settlements burns.
All right I, I do.
I don't like this tower one bit now.
glory to God himself.
Heaven can wait.
Are they actually shooting at us?
Legionnaire defectors.
Such scum.
You are legionnaire defectors.
You have dishonored Rome by defecting.
Alright, have we laid waste to...
Good god, haven't they actually boom?
There we are beautiful, ah beautiful.
Well done, lads.
Now, who shall we shoot at?
Desert Levee.
Desert tribesmen, I think, is a suitable target for our mighty Oneggers.
Okay, they're landing there.
That was a silly mistake, because now our mighty cavalry is swooping down on them.
Now glory to God himself!
Alright, so we're gonna try to get up here and I assume that the towers will be out of range, hopefully, that is Now this will decrease their moral and that is important that their settlement is burning a quick reload there
So this armor piercing damage as well from the flaming shots right there So that was easily done to just subjugate this little landing force and the battle is looking quite even indeed Alright, so we're actually outnumbering them.
How quaint it's not often I'm actually outnumbering the enemy.
Wonderful.
Let's move forward a bit.
No, good god, don't don't shoot at the fleeing fleeing unit, you silly barbarians.
I suppose this will be a grindfest for ages.
Alright, and there goes the ammunition.
I'm gonna see excellent capture power.
Which leads me to to the conclusion that we might actually be benefited from trying to take this tower.
I'm gonna position myself basically there Okay, I can't see how long how far the tower can reach but once our troops get closer to the enemy
Like that and to do that you press Alt and then left button and then just go forward with a mouse cursor Alright.
What will we do with you, true friends?
And these mercenary owner girls, I won't keep them after the battle, no matter how it goes, so they can just...
It doesn't really matter what happens to them.
go forward there and proud sons of the savior now these guys will go up here and try to capture this this tower Oh right, they haven't moved because they were in the studio mode.
Forward, brave men of the Imperium.
We have nothing to lose.
Are they now?
Let's put that on then.
I'm trying to bait them into a charge so that they'll run into my GOMMADADENTES.
Go on and shoot those heinous barbarians Alright lads, do you want to take this little tower for me?
It would be very appreciated if you could do that for the glory of Rome.
Beware!
Our hidden units have been revealed!
And now, you can actually go there if you want.
That, my dear defectors, and and whatnot, whatever you want to refer to yourself as gonna switch to heavy shot, as usual.
that's better against infantry and i'll try to capture that tower would be lovely lovely
oh have we actually captured this tower now boom there we are beautiful thank you very much for that I'm gonna try to get up and capture this this point as well for the glory of Rome Okay.
The point was not actually that they were supposed to to fight there, but rather that they should bait the other guys into into charging, as it were, and this is really good if they can.
I'm gonna zoom into the action for a moment now.
Look at that, east versus west, north versus south.
Glorious, highly glorious, it will darken the sky.
right can try to capture this tower as well so we don't get shot in the back there they have desert chieftain hello lads
I suppose they're spoiling for a fight no not really they're quite cowardly to be honest he's standing there while their men die or his men I'd say Beautiful, brilliant.
Okay, I'm gonna try to get around with this so we don't get any friendly fire or other such blasphemous things.
Okay, let's take this tower as well.
In all actuality, it could be a cool thing to do.
And then, it looks good, this battle trooper.
Wonderful.
I haven't.
It's not that many let's plays I've done like aggressive offensive battles.
So that's cool, that's fine.
Can we utilize the general's special ability on you now?
Can we kill these guys, please?
That would be lovely.
The Emperor, Flavius, would love it if he did that.
Look at that!
Beautiful.
Thank you.
I wonder if your general has left yet.
Look at this place though.
Wow, mirroring.
Really cool.
Aw, look at this.
The Romans are swarming forth into this settlement of blasphemy.
Okay, no, they were just, they're still up there, lurking, the bastards.
Right, let's get them and then these guys, and then I think we can proclaim ourselves victors in this battle.
I'm gonna do like this: I'm gonna edit a segment of this battle away until we have rounded these guys up, and then I'll just march up and take their desert general.
Because you know, I'd say it's safe to say that our victory is complete.
Actually, to be right back.
Alrighty, then I yeah, he's rounded these guys up.
Now I'm gonna get a cool rear charge here and a rear charge there to break them off and then engage the general as well.
three levels of it maybe okay i don't really need the infantry here because they've broken already okay Okay, cool.
Basically, everything they have is breaking.
Ah, for God himself.
How quaint!
This nice, I love it.
Really nice.
I'm elated by the development of this campaign, as it were.
Because this step to subjugate this faction is quite important indeed.
Now it's just a matter of the other African region we need To subjugate, and then we have the front secure, and then just securing Italia, and we'll do that in Fiorentina.
That region at least.
But I'll elaborate more on that when we're back on the main campaign.
And I'm gonna edit the rest of this battle away because yeah, see the balance power.
You just need to go up and kill this bastard.
Alright, troopers, we have arrived at the glorious hilltop, as it were.
And I'm obviously sending in the camels and the mercenaries to die for us, to die for the glory of Rome, while I try to retain our Roman units for later.
So, mercenary legionnaire defectors, it will also go up.
And unfortunately, these cohorts will also be needed.
No, they actually not.
Boom!
Yes!
Thank you very much!
Highly glorious!
And nice.
So now we're gonna have a bit of fun with these Maurians.
What will we do?
I think we should...
Boom!
There we are.
We could occupy it, but...
Because, yeah, they don't really have anything else.
Okay, let's no, you know what, we're gonna sack and after we've sacked.
Like, they couldn't really put up any fight if we were to occupy it.
Decisions, decisions.
Boom.
I'm gonna do like that for now.
And now they got our little army for free.
Alright, you did a brilliant job, my friends.
But you need to go now.
You've done what you could for Rome.
And the same for you.
Defectors.
I'm gonna have you fucking strung up to a tree for deserting Rome, you traitorous cunts.
And alright, nice.
Conning, obviously, awesome to have.
Upkeep minus.
Yes, please.
So, with that said and done, gonna go back with you up here.
And then, if they decide to revolt against me against my just rule, then I'll just swoop in with this army yet again and subjugate them.
Do you want to trade with me?
My master extends the most magnificent welcome to the money.
Hi, I want money.
I want more money.
I want even more money.
Give me money.
I want more.
More thank you very much for that.
You're good folk after all.
I want to repair you, and I want to- I can't repair you.
Blasphemy!
Can we build something fun anywhere?
And these are the regions that I'm not all too comfortable with having.
Question remains, should I or should I not create an army up here?
Do you know what we'll do?
Oh, glorious true friends.
I will, in all actuality.
End the turn.
I'm not going to spend this now because I can't really spend it on anything fun, I suppose.
Oh wait.
Oh well, never mind.
End turn, and see what the crack is in the upcoming turn.
Fear is your lot.
Now come the ravens, beat the cape for your gut.
Picts with a little poem there.
I appreciate that.
nothing wrong with that and uh yes you might as just you might you might as well just take the goddamn settlement i I don't really mind anymore.
Now this will just result in the Britons rising up and then they'll fight the Celts and then the Germanic tribes are coming and then the whole of Britain will just be one large fighting arena basically.
Which is why the British history is so interesting.
And now, I've basically said this in like 10 different videos now, but if anyone has missed this, I am.
You fear us.
It is in your eyes, in your stench, and you are right to fear.
War comes.
Okay.
I thought you I thought you were gonna be nice to us since we gave you a region but oh well that's just how it is yeah as I was gonna say I am very interested in British history actually I can confirm this to be true.
Well like all history basically but I have a special affinity for British history and especially at this time period.
So I actually just read out a trilogy by MK Yume.
Remind me in the comment section below to write out the whole trilogy name so you can check that out.
Actually a female author.
Really good.
Women tend to get to create more interesting characters when they write books like as authors.
Whereas men nails the action segments of the books a bit better.
So most of the authors I've read is men but I do appreciate some female authors every once in a while.
But yeah, either way, that trilogy is about King Arthur, which obviously is around this time period.
All right, cool.
Let's look at Protectoris Domestici.
Boom.
Yes That will be glorious Rebellion alright that can be quite easily sorted by us doing like this bomb boom for Rome That's right, flea you bleeding cowards.
Just gonna deal with these guys and take out the result there.
No sense in wasting precious time in such unproductive manner as to play out a given victory.
What does Rome require of me ready for battle and I suppose what we have ever Sil boom great warrior that does not be as such bad public order there as well, unfortunately.
And how will the public order look here?
Not very good at all.
And alright, I'm gonna keep this army right here, actually for future preparations for rebellions.
That's the word I was looking for.
And yeah, I'm gonna keep on expanding Hispania here, good old Spain, and doing that via increasing the these kind of things.
And also, when the barbarians come down, the bigger our settlements, the better we can stand stand against them.
so can't really do anything more here right now vandals do you want a home
Maybe can we gift you this region moderate, and the reason for that is I want them fighting against each other to as large of an agree a degree as possible.
You can only do that with horde armies.
Can we talk with the Ostrogoths, maybe?
So the more they fight with each other, the less they fight with us.
And if I gift the region away...
Okay, they can't really...
So yeah, if I gift a region far from Italia, the chances are that the barbarians are fighting among themselves.
Which is obviously very much nice for us to do.
Do you want to trade with me?
Boom, yes!
Thank you very much for that.
I did not expect that one bit, but you know, a gamble once in a while is a good idea in all actuality.
So enough about that and let's look at our beloved king, emperor.
Is it there's out of favor a young inexperienced Flavius Henorius Augustus and in the size of a tagger so this will represent that he's a young boy still so we're gonna need him to be now at least got some more cunning which is nice
Wonderful love it's great that you do public order boom beautiful love it Logistics expert.
That was not very good at all.
There we are.
All right, then let's take one more turn in this glorious episode.
I have no idea if it's gonna be one of those very long episodes.
I will try to to keep them at like 30 minutes or so.
I think that's a good, good stretch of time to to make a video, or like 40 minutes, something like that.
I'm thinking that this, like Total War, let's plays, also for future reference, will be a bit more like chill episode where you can get a bit more comfortable, whereas the Space Marine and more action place will be a bit shorter and less chill, as it were.
So that's why I might be a bit more pumped on caffeine when I do RPG let's plays and I'm a bit more chill when I'm doing the Total War ones unless, of course, it's
what's this now the Franks oh well I'm attacking the Saxons well let's do it boom see how that goes I don't don't really mind killing some Saxons beautiful they are at each other already highly glorious
they're the goals okay cool do what you must aviance as long as you keep yourself in northern Gaul I'm trying to keep southern goal at least I'm gonna try to do that if it is possible
hello dudes how are we you can actually you can actually have that settlement I am not bothered by it that you do take it right silominium is under siege I'm I will let siliminium fall I suppose
And now you might ask why I don't just raise all of these settlements to get income.
And the reason for that is quite simple, and that is because the public order will skyrocket in my otherwise stable regions.
So, a lot of things.
Ah, I bear tidings from the Holy Church.
A man, recognized for his piousness and devotion, is due to be ordained as bishop.
What?
Yes, we will not interfere there and...
Not one bit.
Let's see if we can upgrade any one of these to another Hilarious.
You can be a military count if you want.
That would suit you.
I am certain it would.
Alright, the public order here is actually increasing.
How nice.
And these guys will hopefully stay nice and sweet.
These guys are costing a bit of upkeep, but I'm going to...
That would be fine for now.
Katago.
Can we get a Tavarane there, perhaps?
Regum.
Can we build something fun?
Look at the fun it is to build a fountain.
Always nice to have right there.
Karalis looking at some sanitation as well, perhaps.
There we are.
And let us not, true friends, neglect Italia.
Fiorentina.
Uma Colonia.
brilliant conspirator.
Ah, look at that.
Wealth.
Let's go with you.
Heaven be praised.
And then we're gonna deploy him to decrease corruption.
So yes, I suppose this episode has been a productive one.
We have been lost some regions, but they were already lost as it were.
As it already were.
So the most important thing we have done, and that was to secure this region.
And then we'll keep the arm here and see what these guys do.
Otherwise, the main focus is to keep a secure border right here.
Develop Italia, Magna Gracia, these islands, and then Spain.
And just keep them safe and secure.
Get a solid economy and then build a lot of armies here and then just strike out for the Imperium of mankind.
Oh, we got a level here as well.
Nice.
Spread religion.
I like that.
And public order.
Wonderful.
So yeah, thank you very much for watching.
And as always, comments are highly appreciated.
Until next time.
And who am I?
I'm the devout champion of the Saviour.
