My channel's main focus is on self improvement, bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, culture, gaming, books, politics etc.
And when I saw that it was gonna be released, I thought to myself, okay, cool, let us go with whatever Viking faction was available, the Danes.
I thought to go with paganism and raid England, but I don't want any European infighting now in these harsh times.
So, what could be more inspiring than to go with the Kingdom of Asturias?
So, although the Visigoths have been destroyed and their kingdom shattered, their spirit lives on.
When the Umayyad Caliphate invaded Imperia, the Visigoths were all but wiped out.
Yet a surviving nobleman, that is one story I would like to delve into, as it were.
So, our faction will be the Kingdom of Asturias, and we have a glorious champion there.
Glad that I'm doing this with my beard also.
So, we're gonna try to reconquer Spain and Portugal in this let's play.
And also, I'm gonna try to make this a bit more entertaining and a bit better than the last Western Roman campaign because I felt that was a bit too large of an empire to make a successive series of.
But here, we have a small empire, so I'm gonna take you through the whole campaign.
And hopefully, you will find it a bit more immersive and entertaining.
So, we're gonna go with Very Hard as my standard thing to go.
And here's our starting position.
So I'm going to start the campaign right now.
There have been many before you.
The titles.
Nothing.
Men who risk all that they love to lead by honor and virtue and inspire the common man.
Do you think you're different?
Dozan, who gave you the right to lose?
It wasn't the people.
It wasn't God.
You have fought to preserve every inch of this land from the Islamic invaders.
Indeed, you cannot hide behind the Cantabrian mountains forever.
Beyond, the Umayyads persist.
Yet there is a lot of heathens.
To the east, the governors of Pamplona, Zaragoza, and Barcelona have defied the Umayyads and rebelled against their cruelty.
Awesome.
That is glorious, if anything.
So, capturing their lands could give you much needed strength in the struggle to come.
Victory in the east would also enable you to reconnect with your Frankish allies who share no love for Islam.
Indeed, especially not now in this day and age.
Ah, the battle of Putiers with Charles Mackel in English.
It will indeed.
And we will usher in this new age of prosperity.
Glory to God Himself.
Alright, awesome.
I put off the face cam there for the intro trailer so that you could admire it in its fullness.
So we have the situation before us right here.
We're pushed up against the sea.
Last stand for Christianity in Spain.
You can see here we have these whole regions are desolate.
We've burned it so the bloody Muslims couldn't take them.
However, we're quite close here.
The Emir of Cordoba.
So what we could do is try to take Portugal there.
That would be our main strategy.
And then obviously, we don't want to fight any other Christians.
So let us, true friends, Inuola exactly look at the possibility of going into diplomacy.
And you can see here we have we can trade with a lot of people.
Same blood as well.
Same people.
So we're just gonna run through and see wonderful.
Just want to increase the trade.
That's the first thing I always do.
Speak.
For you have my attention as the ear of God in any given total war.
I welcome you on behalf of the people and give ear to your words.
And then also if you see that they're going high, you can always add something extra.
Perhaps a bit of shekels.
Ah, look at that.
Can demand more.
Okay, military access.
No.
Alright, boom.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Kingdom of Brittany.
Ah, that's that's a good old Celt.
That's awesome.
By the way, I will talk about this later on as well, but regarding my t-shirts and my Legio Celtica design, that isn't just specified to Ireland.
That is a whole European thing because the Celts were, after all, all over Europe as a culture more than an ethnicity.
Actually, same thing in Ireland, actually, more a culture than an ethnicity.
But more about that later on.
Military alliance.
No, that's a bit of a too bold claim.
Non-aggression fact.
And some shekels for us.
Ah, wonderful.
Tadan.
Alright, cool.
So as you can see, Kingdom of Charlemagne.
Okay.
Charlemagne did not want to trade with us just yet, as it were.
So we have Ramiro, a proud man of Spain.
He will actually scout the way here and see what the crack is down here.
What we're gonna aim at doing is simply to, I suppose, send this army down.
And also we can look a bit about the new graphics of the game because this is a rather big DLC and see with new, more medieval style looking graphics to it, which I rather like.
Actually, same thing here looks a bit more medieval, a bit more cozy.
Actually I, I like it the dawn of a brighter future for Europe, totally different than Atila the, the original game, which is set about 400, 350 years prior to this.
So we can see here a bit different aesthetics, as it were.
And also, if we look at the different Dutches and smaller factions have begun to arise here in in Europe.
So, first things first, what can we do?
Public order yes please, why not?
We also have replenishment, and yeah well let's, let's just go with something there shall, we can look at our king as well.
This, if anyone is one high test alpha male, and this guy, he doesn't have a wife and he doesn't have enough influence to gain a wife how silly of him.
Right, let us place some good old governor's patron wealth.
Yes, you will obviously be.
Uh oh okay aha, we could only have one governor, and that's obviously in our main region here.
So what we're gonna do is gonna go with the construction cost.
So the next turn this will take place, and then this will be cheaper to build, so we're gonna build here instead.
Then, in all actuality, we only hmm, fishing port no, I would like a trading port.
Trade Wolf ah, oh well, it will have to be what it is there.
An iron mine sounds cool enough there, and we can't really afford anything more.
Now let us, without further ado, true friends, begin with the Reconquista, as it were.
Can also upgrade this to a barrack and could be a cool thing, but we're gonna save that to next turn.
Be right back.
All right, I utilized a little edit there while the turn was running and we have a mission issued the kingdom of Spain.
Fucking juicy, that's that, if anything is glorious.
Okay, let's true.
Friends, look at the possibility of oh, look at that, the Moors have left the city unguarded, as it were.
Okay let's, let's go with it.
Declare war yes, for the Barbarians.
And, as usual, I will not bother with taking that battle on the battlefield.
I'm sure we'll have plenty of fighting to dod lake.
Okay cool, we have Imperium.
Noteworthy how, how quaint.
At least we also gained a level, and This graphics is also new, actually.
Hmm.
Upkeep.
That's nice.
So we reduced the upkeep with a little bit at least.
And now we can repair you.
That's cheap enough.
And you can go a bit further.
So we could try to take Lisbon.
And perhaps not push all too much now in the beginning so we don't get overwhelmed.
Now, let's look at some...
Another fishing port.
No.
Logging gap.
That sounds like a cool thing to do in all actuality.
also we can recruit a few more units Iberian cavalry and levy skirmisher there we go beautiful okay be right back
ah I'm I was only joking not be right back because we can actually issue another Marasa inferior and there we go with you beautiful and we have to issue something there Tax rate always good?
Ah, look at that.
Papal stakes across the Mediterranean.
At the seat of Christian power in Rome, the Pope grows restless.
He is determined to see the true religion spread to all corners of the world and has charged you with the task of converting Iberia and stemming the tide of Islamic heretics rising there.
There is much to be gained from aiding the pontiff in this endeavor.
The Papal states are powerful and influential.
They will most certainly reward you for your service.
Yet even without the incentive of material wealth, is not the prospect of spreading the true religion reward enough?
It is indeed.
It is indeed no question about that at all, and that is what this whole campaign is about, retaking the blasphemous Iberian Islamic state.
So what we want to do is go ahead and see what the crack is here.
Hello Lisbon, start a fire.
No, don't really want to burn our own cities.
Remember that it's just occupied okay, cool.
So the road there lies clear and they don't have anything there, so hopefully they don't have any big armies there coming up.
Gonna stay here for another turn, I suppose, and recruit a few more units and see public order there isn't all too good, I'm afraid.
Right cool, and I'm not gonna edit this turn away so you can see the various emblems of the different factions, and that's something I really like and, with these sort of historical games, always get some cool inspiration.
Resettle two of the following regions.
Leon, Valaduid, Salamanca.
The Pope's blessing.
That's awesome.
That is awesome indeed.
Okay, so we have, fuck, Rebellion Imminent here.
And...
Not very good at all, I'm afraid.
Public order is quite fine here.
So I suppose we can upgrade Praga to something.
Public order, a great press.
That, if anything, will make them happy.
Okay, so we can see if, if we can change anything here.
Okay, no, they will still rebel, so.
So I suppose we'll just have to defeat the rebels in all Axelty.
So we'll have to wait a bit with these ones.
Okay, the Emir's Shosen, they will fall to my blade, surely.
Okay, taking a turn.
Then we have a rebellion on our hands, but this will not deter the valiant champions of Christ.
Not one bit, thank you very much.
So yeah, I really like these sort of emblems.
Always have, it's cool.
Rebellion, okay.
But where are the Spanish rebels?
You're rebelling against your own people, you bloody heretics.
Okay, then we're gonna have a field battle there.
Oh well, we'll just have to march you up there and yeah, that's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna see if this guy can actually reach he should be able to he can't target that one.
How silly of him cool, we can do something here.
Raiding conquerors.
Fatigue rate, that's that sounds glorious.
And what more can we do?
We can raise another army, maybe Aurelio, politician.
Oh yeah, that's that's our king.
Bernando Entrepreneur.
Warrior.
Strategist.
We're gonna go with Favila.
He seems like a glorious guy.
See if we can raise a little army there as well.
Now oh cool, we can build something fun here.
A hostel.
That's nice.
So we can invite our Christian brothers from all over Europe to come and come and live in our hostel and fight Muslims with us.
Sounds like a rather cool idea, to be honest.
So, defeat a rebel defamation how dare pay him off
Okay, cool, we have a little a little rank gained how quaint And authority cunning increases or decreases the maintenance cost No question about that.
Oh look at that servant corruption minus fam five percent absolutely glorious Now then you bloody traitors for God himself That is a rather give than bat, to be honest.
Yeah, we can sell them off.
Alright, cool.
Now let's march down again so we can deal with this This bustage gonna go with the supplies there and Yeah, they're building up an army here
It's gonna double check so they don't come up with aha they are oh fuck look at that We have troopers a battle coming up highly glorious are you ready to serve and they can go okay not that far so we we can come down with the other army i'm gonna build something fun as well
Let us build a barracks for the crack all right and utilize a little editor and we have gained a rank gonna go with wealth and conning and that one Alright, so as we can see here their army has okay there it is
Hello General Abd al-Rahman How are you this fine day?
So can they actually yeah, they can reach us next time and our guys can reach as well so can we mercenary Andalusian infantry Could be a good idea I think we should be able to beat them though our two armies combined against their one
I'm gonna do like this either way.
That will take some of our, some more shekels, but there is no price for the salvation of Christ.
Okay cool, let's see if they're gonna charge us and channel.
And now let us, true friends in all our child, see what the crack is.
no they are um we will have a fight in this episode though I can I can promise that that's a a good start at least to this campaign rank gained silo good timing Aha, marksman.
Authority.
commander's aura that's that's really good and seal grants us charge bonus Yes, lovely.
Now my Muslim friends, I suppose they will assault us there.
Okay, so what we'll do is we're gonna exchange the garrison, so the better general will be in there and these cavalry heavy units will stay outside of there, but I'm gonna transfer the infantry at least, so we have our cavalry units here stationed behind so they can swoop in later.
Right, we still have some shekels so we can build stuff with and market town.
I suppose that can be a.
Yeah, we're gonna put a market town right there, all right and turn.
And now they should, they should charge.
It would be cool, it would be a good, good thing to happen.
Actually yes, there we go for God himself.
Aha okay, that was, that was a smart thing.
I suppose that was a smart thing indeed, I suppose.
Okay, they do not actually attack our settlement, highly blasphemous, so I suppose that we have to sally forth there.
Wish we can buy some more or hire some more mercenaries.
All right, true friends, what to do?
What to do?
We have to break the siege in, all like Xelty.
So if we go with you, there you are in the range to support us.
So let's sally out.
Boom, they retreat, which is awesome.
And there is their king, and we will get him.
True friends, we will get him.
Okay, he's not quite in range there.
There he is in range.
Boom, there we are awesome.
God, we outnumbering quite significantly there.
How about that?
Okay, I'm gonna auto resolve that.
I suppose.
Boom, highly glorious.
By the way, let me know in the comment section if you would have liked me to take that battle, because I'm I don't know if you want to see the new units, the graphics, etc.
We will not take on warriors, these are incompatible with our Western Christian values, so we're gonna ransom them instead.
So yeah, let me know in the comments if you would like me to take these smaller battles, or I mean these more given battles, as it were.
The callers of the deep.
Hello, Imam Marwan.
Right.
Right.
Let us take this little army as well.
Aha!
That is a more even battle.
Well, then, let's do it, true friends.
Let us look at the possibility of defeating these heathens.
So I guess I kind of answered my...
Or, I mean, I guess it didn't really matter that I didn't take the previous battle since we get a battle in this episode.
Either way.
I don't like rain.
Dry will have to suffice for now.
Okay, they are never hidden.
Okay.
That's fine, I suppose.
We'll start the battle fast forward until our reinforcements arrive.
Can have a look at the units if you so wish.
Show your friends.
Wow, love it.
Looks like early medieval knights, which is what it is.
And also like these different shield designs.
My Warhammer Chaos Army I've actually painted the Marauder horsemen with these different sort of patterns as well.
In all actuality.
Now let us see what can be done here.
Don't want to be too hasty with God they're messing up their position here.
I did not mean for them to run around like confused hens there Okay, they are occupying a hilltop.
This is like a an historical battle.
Let's look at the hidden God I like it.
They look truly Arab.
quite cool.
Now we're gonna try to time this charge in a glorious manner.
God give us strength!
And this is obviously to get behind enemy lines with missile units is a joyous thing.
So I'm gonna just surround them and From all sides, and then we are bound to get some glorious rear charges, and they will accept my fuck that did not go according to plan.
In all like Shaldi, I split it up too much with my missile infantry there.
Ah, come on, then quickly now.
Run, damn you.
You need to better your cardio.
Yes, come on then boys.
Get in the mix.
God give us strength.
And like this, what I'm trying to do is just get around them here.
And there we go.
See if we can get some cool graphics there.
Oh, look at that.
Yes.
That is why I love Total War.
Wow, look at that.
Lovely.
Whoop.
I lost attention there for a minute.
Highly blasphemous.
Oh, look at that.
Their general.
How quaint.
God.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I fucked up there.
I'm sorry, my army.
I fucked up because I did not even see that I engaged.
Fuck.
Yeah, our general has died at enemy hands.
And that's my fault for not being attentive enough.
I'm always trying to through to be talkative but yet enter powergaming mode.
Don't flee you bloody heathens.
Look at his charge now.
Okay, quite not as glorious as would have been possible, but still.
Alright, gonna speed up the gameplay a bit.
Boom.
And can we get a charger as well?
Glory to God.
Boom.
Nice.
Highly optimal for my testosterone levels.
Alright, wonderful.
Boom.
Where is there?
Alright, awesome.
Decisive victory.
Victory, I mean.
Hard thing for a Swedish guy to distinguish between a V and a W. Enemy kill in battle.
Awesome.
God, I would like to take them on, but no, I don't want them in my army, actually.
The Blades of Mercy.
They lost their general.
Alright, awesome.
That will have to be it for this glorious episode.
I hope you have Found some joy in it at least and I promise to you that this campaign will be better than my Westrome one.
