you all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
Oof, poor Amulius Brutus - he became a prominent commander called the Wrathful in Jon's original campaign and here he got reduced to standing around in the Greek countryside as a rebel.
When you become the Vandals before 300AD When you become the Viking’s before the Dark Age. When you become pirates before the 16th century. You know your in for a very interesting series
Holy shit! Didn't expect a response comrade, thank you lol. I love all your content, thank you (and claire) for being awesome. Could always pay them a quick visit, see how they react to tourists lol.
If I remember correctly you did not decree that bribing rebels was out of the picture. Those ex-roman rebels would make a valuable purchase now that you have a significant financial base to work from after those big cities...
I’ve never seen AI Brutii not take Apollonia as their first conquest. It’s funny that even in the remastered edition, the AI Seleucids can’t survive to turn 30. Hopefully they can tweak things a bit so they actually have a good campaign once in a while. The Seleucids have one of the coolest unit rosters in the game, and you never get to face them in the campaign as Rome, because they always die immediately.
I just started a Vandal campaign today in barbarian invasion and as someone who knows very little about them, it's nice to find out that my decision to head straight to Italy and burn the entire peninsula is actually fairly historically accurate.
"none of this has been according to plan" Honestly, have you ever have a plan going accordingly? I think it's just customary in this channel for the plan to go awry, Jon accidentally saved the day with his accidental genius, and go around saying "oh god i'm a genius"
It also feels incredibly appropriate that Jon hired sarmatians, one of the early Roman republic's fiercest enemies, to overthrow roman rule in southern Italy and murder roman nobles.
If it were me, I'd target the Julii instead of the Scipii - they've only got 3 cities, you already flank them from the east and south and the Gauls ought to keep them busy in the northwest. Avenge Patavium!
My girlfriend and I just recently broke up and this series is helping me getting distracted and finding a happy time at the end of the day, and I seriously mean it. Loved the first campaign and loving this one as well.
Jon during the livestream: "I'm not going to play the macedonians or anyone else really close the the Romans because it's too easy to snipe them off early."
Ah, I love it when a world is complex enough to throw your plan for a loop. That's twice that you've had to adapt your plans due to unforeseen events. But this time, the unforeseen event was an opportunity! Great job. Looking forward to where this adventure takes you next.
This is basically a combination of some of Jon’s most famous past Total War playthroughs. Take Rome: Total War, add in some infamous raiding pirates (the Danes from M2), make it a barbarian horde instead (BI), and you’ve got this gem.
@@lordoftitans7636 Originally, he was Cretan - so technically, he might become a Dacian in this timeline when Jon finally gets over to Crete to get his hands on some Cretan Archers.
I would say that this episode could be called a classic Jon victory: a victory that was snatched from the jaws of defeat.....that was snatched from the jaws of victory
Step one: Do research. Step two: Make an elaborate plan. Step three: The enemy does not participate in the plan. ... Step six: Accidentally kill off one of the three most powerful factions on the map. Step seven: Profit.
I can't wait to play this. I keep remembering my incredibly long Scipii campaign. It went on for so long I had so many family members the bloody Maxentii married into the family and I got to pretend I was the Senate again.
Thomas Jefferson sings: 🎶“You don’t have the boats, you don’t have the boasts. HA HA HA HA HA You’re gonna need congressional approval but you don’t have the BOATS”🎶
Three episodes and Dacia, having trained no aggressive units of any kind besides mercenaries, conquered the Brutii, securing *Southern Italy*. Is it luck? Is it skill? Who's to say.
This mass migration route you are on might just make this the best rome total series on youtube ever. Something like playing as Slavs in the late game barbarian invasion expansion.
Honestly this is a pretty fun way to play. Barrel through the map sacking lightly defended cities, tear down all their infrastructure and abandon them to the rebels. When all civilisation has been ground into dust, Jon swoops in to reconquer the ashes. At the very least it'd be hilarious to see Rome surrounded by an entirely rebel controlled Italy. Burn and pillage Jon!
I stumbled upon your Channel again after quite some time. The last series I watched were your nuka cola world level one playthrough and the original Rome playlist! Glad to be back :)
Jon go take Crete....cretan archers are the best(I think) as actually Jon said "that was the plan " . I agree with that plan . Its amazing you manage this only with mercenaries Jon.
Jon just wanted to play Barbarian Invasion with Cretan archers
I'm not even going to deny it.
YARR!
We saw you looking at Crete...👀
In BI they absent? I forgot
@@PAINNN666 Yes, in BI the Cretans are already romanized and cant shoot anything, like all the other roman archers.
This is one of the weirdest forms of alternate history I've ever seen
Mediterranean Dacian pirates re-enacting the Sea People/predicting the Vandals? It sure is, but I'm also kind of here for that.
Well, Trajan knew Dacia was the end of the empire
Wait, this isn't how it happened?
@@release_the_Diddy_list I’m pretty sure this is actually found footage of the events themselves
you all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
It would be incredible if at some point Jon ends up becoming a horde just burning and sacking cities to stay alive
Honestly, running a deficit to fund enough pirate armies to just repeatedly burn everything down is a totally viable strategy...
@@ManyATrueNerd don't forget to tear down the buildings to for that sweet sweet gold, and also perhaps as an offering to your chaos god of choice?
@@TheStateOfEarth I feel like Jon would follow Tzeentch, even if his plans get blown to shit, it still ends up working out lol
@@TheStateOfEarth I was tearing my hair out in frustration when he did not do that in Patavium.
@@PalleRasmussen He'll get it back soon. And, I'm sure it'll still have most of those buildings intact.
Jon could absolutely rename this series "The Iron age collapse, return of the sea peoples" at this point
Who are the sea peoples? Apparently everyone.
@@milessumida6770 the mystery has been answered, the Sea People were time traveling Dacians
Most definitely, Egypt is next ! And why not Carthage ? He'll need multiple fleets for all this ^^
Sea People 2 Dacian Boogaloo
Oof, poor Amulius Brutus - he became a prominent commander called the Wrathful in Jon's original campaign and here he got reduced to standing around in the Greek countryside as a rebel.
he could bribe him into dacia :)
When you become the Vandals before 300AD
When you become the Viking’s before the Dark Age.
When you become pirates before the 16th century.
You know your in for a very interesting series
Pirates have always existed..Sea People...
When you become the British Empire before England even existing
Or alternatively, you become the Sea Peoples a milenium later.
This feels like a recreation of Vandal history lol. Make it to Italy, decide against it, head south
I could go for a quick Spanish vacation, sure.
Holy shit! Didn't expect a response comrade, thank you lol. I love all your content, thank you (and claire) for being awesome.
Could always pay them a quick visit, see how they react to tourists lol.
Just got to the end where you made the same reference lol.
@@ManyATrueNerd not before a quick stop in Carthage for some reason
@@ManyATrueNerd Maybe even seize the entire roman fleet in anchor at Carthage on a nice day out?
If I remember correctly you did not decree that bribing rebels was out of the picture. Those ex-roman rebels would make a valuable purchase now that you have a significant financial base to work from after those big cities...
Unfortunately most of it would be dispanded, so not really worth it.
@@Lord_Imrahil but he could bribe Amulius Brutus into his faction
Lets hope nothing collapses Edit: Wasn't expecting THEM to collapse
I just bought medieval 2 for myself having a lovely time playing as Denmark but I will do an England playthrough sometime soon
I can't believe that you managed to just...conquer the entirety of the Brutii civilization so easily. That was such a hilarious turn of events.
While five turns before the Dacians were almost on the point of no return
I’ve never seen AI Brutii not take Apollonia as their first conquest.
It’s funny that even in the remastered edition, the AI Seleucids can’t survive to turn 30. Hopefully they can tweak things a bit so they actually have a good campaign once in a while. The Seleucids have one of the coolest unit rosters in the game, and you never get to face them in the campaign as Rome, because they always die immediately.
Tonight on bottom gear I become the sea people, Britain pulls a D-Day, and Greece catches Covid-19
Julii and scipii attack jon. Jon: Screw you Brutii!
In this episode, Jon reforms the Sea People
You were reading my thoughts, this will be a great campaign
Jack Sparrow joins Dacia-kun on his journey to seek Crete and to escape Julii-dono. Meanwhile, Sycthia Senpai hasn't given up...
Jon* Scy* chan* not senpai
@Leona it would be better if he make it more correcctly
We need a roman davy Jones
I read "The Grand" and had a mini heart attack thinking it was the grand finale already
I just started a Vandal campaign today in barbarian invasion and as someone who knows very little about them, it's nice to find out that my decision to head straight to Italy and burn the entire peninsula is actually fairly historically accurate.
"none of this has been according to plan"
Honestly, have you ever have a plan going accordingly? I think it's just customary in this channel for the plan to go awry, Jon accidentally saved the day with his accidental genius, and go around saying "oh god i'm a genius"
"And today I've got a plan!"
Well this can only end well
I've been rewatching Jon playing Barbarian Invasion whilst playing CK2 as the Mongols, and now Jon is essentially being a horde here
Horde day
It also feels incredibly appropriate that Jon hired sarmatians, one of the early Roman republic's fiercest enemies, to overthrow roman rule in southern Italy and murder roman nobles.
Jon killing the previous protagonist of the series in part 3 is pretty funny.
"Gold will literally pay for itself, because it is gold." Genius!
There's something weirdly fulfilling about samnites taking down a roman general.
Them general killcams are comedy gold.
If it were me, I'd target the Julii instead of the Scipii - they've only got 3 cities, you already flank them from the east and south and the Gauls ought to keep them busy in the northwest. Avenge Patavium!
I find it hillarious, how you accidentally turned your great retreat, into strike against the roman underbelly.
My girlfriend and I just recently broke up and this series is helping me getting distracted and finding a happy time at the end of the day, and I seriously mean it. Loved the first campaign and loving this one as well.
If she couldn't appreciate you for who you were, you lucked out on her breaking up with you. Now, you can find someone who actually appreciates you.
"My name is Many T. Nerd and I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!" -Jon probably
This is why I enjoy the Rome series so much, there is always a change in plans and you never know what’s going to happen next.
Jon during the livestream: "I'm not going to play the macedonians or anyone else really close the the Romans because it's too easy to snipe them off early."
Turn 30 is *not* early for the Romans. They expand pretty explosively... usually...
Jon better build mini watchtowers on his ships, I want in on this pirate thing, (and I’m not talking about those wimpy crows nests)
Crows nests vs watchtowers, a battle for the ages
You darn kids and your technology. In my day the watchtowers didn't talk and we liked it that way!
Damn, the Brutii maneuver was smooth as hell
The Brutii in this alternate history obviously didn't have a Julianus Vatinius to lead them
“The Great Journey Begins” Jason Bright bringing us to the Far Beyond?!
Jon just reenacting the Bronze Age Collapse on the unsuspecting Romans
It’s surprising how much of Italy you can smash and grab with a good series of naval assaults
ships are them most underrated unit or Rome 1
:(
Ah, I love it when a world is complex enough to throw your plan for a loop. That's twice that you've had to adapt your plans due to unforeseen events. But this time, the unforeseen event was an opportunity!
Great job. Looking forward to where this adventure takes you next.
Me last week: Another Total War series, I've never watched or played this game. Skip.
Me this week: I love Total War now
The original is my favourite series. Even above any of the fallout playthroughs
His first rome total war series is godly. It’s the reason i fell in love with the channel and i never played it before. You’ll also like medieval 2
So I guess Marcus the Gambler isn't too happy that Aquincum basically belongs to the very thing he swore to defend it against? (Horde factions)
This is basically a combination of some of Jon’s most famous past Total War playthroughs. Take Rome: Total War, add in some infamous raiding pirates (the Danes from M2), make it a barbarian horde instead (BI), and you’ve got this gem.
2:14 We long made fun of Jon for calling it "indirect" fire, but it seems he was, in fact, correct all along.
"To escape to lands far afield"
*suspiciously hovers over Crete*
28:24 theres soemthing so fitting about the mother of all backstabs being performed against the Brutii
May the 72 mercenaries guarding Patavium find peace in death.
Jon is playing the wild card in this run and I like it!
Be honest John you got rid of the Brutii because you wanted to be the green faction, Julianus Vatinius would be proud
Wasn't Julianus Vatinius a brutii tho
@@lordoftitans7636 Originally, he was Cretan - so technically, he might become a Dacian in this timeline when Jon finally gets over to Crete to get his hands on some Cretan Archers.
@@TitanDarwin the Many a True Nerd lore is far more complex than it would be expected
Imagine starting a campaign as the Brutii and a full stack of Dacian mercenaries randomly shows up on your starting towns and smashes you.
I would say that this episode could be called a classic Jon victory: a victory that was snatched from the jaws of defeat.....that was snatched from the jaws of victory
Boats and raiding. Guess the viking ck3 playthrough had a lasting impact on the channel lol
Last time I was this early the Seleucid's were still around
Glory to the Dacian Cosmopolitan Pirate Army!
Are you capable of regiciding the Romans? They seem to have a bunch of generals headed your way.
If either of the Brutii cities have a forum or higher, he could recruit some assassins. Would definitely be worth trying.
Step one: Do research.
Step two: Make an elaborate plan.
Step three: The enemy does not participate in the plan.
...
Step six: Accidentally kill off one of the three most powerful factions on the map.
Step seven: Profit.
I can't wait to play this. I keep remembering my incredibly long Scipii campaign. It went on for so long I had so many family members the bloody Maxentii married into the family and I got to pretend I was the Senate again.
It's a good feeling. I sure miss being the Senate
“You don’t have the boats!” is my motto when I play Macedonia
Ending the Brutii by turning their final line of defense into popcorn is wonderful.
Congrats Jon! Maybe you can buy some of those rebels before they raise too much hell?
Roman steel! In a Dacian fist!
Kind of want to see how the Roman rebels do, also kind of want to see them join the pirate armies of the nation formerly known as the Dacians
the "you don't have the boats" line absolutely killed me keep it going Jon you mad genius.
the average roman citizen after Jon came and went
my family's heads are on spikes by Dacian barbarian sea pirates, nooooooo why.
Thomas Jefferson sings:
🎶“You don’t have the boats, you don’t have the boasts.
HA HA HA HA HA
You’re gonna need congressional approval but you don’t have the BOATS”🎶
Carthage: this but unironically
The people get pretty damn happy when you change the capital.
Three episodes and Dacia, having trained no aggressive units of any kind besides mercenaries, conquered the Brutii, securing *Southern Italy*. Is it luck? Is it skill? Who's to say.
*one horse dies*
Jon: AWW that's a lot of dead cav, that's a bit of a shame!
Pt3 of me just wanting to play the freaking game
my favourite time of day
Mine too, I keep track of what day of the week it is based on MATN's schedule!
Dude my favorite series you’ve done is the Rome total war original and this is sick thank you for making this series
This mass migration route you are on might just make this the best rome total series on youtube ever. Something like playing as Slavs in the late game barbarian invasion expansion.
I just finished watching part 2 when I saw this on my recommended loving the series so far.
I'm watching this series for the second time and I love it. I hope you do more Rome Remastered in the future!
Maaaaan!!!This is awesome, we want more!! One of the most interesting campaigns I've ever watched!
Honestly this is a pretty fun way to play. Barrel through the map sacking lightly defended cities, tear down all their infrastructure and abandon them to the rebels. When all civilisation has been ground into dust, Jon swoops in to reconquer the ashes.
At the very least it'd be hilarious to see Rome surrounded by an entirely rebel controlled Italy. Burn and pillage Jon!
Damn, I've missed Jon's Total War playthroughs. Please keep this up!
In this episode of Many a True Nerds Grand European vacation episode is titled "Mediterranean Pirate Cruse"
Ayy, was awaiting eagerly for this one
I stumbled upon your Channel again after quite some time. The last series I watched were your nuka cola world level one playthrough and the original Rome playlist! Glad to be back :)
Did... Did Jon just become the Sea Peoples?
too late to be the sea peoples, too early to be the germanic kingdoms ...
@@indieWellie Return of the Sea Peoples
i love the sexy shirtless scythians that all look different. even the horses have different colours. really good improvement over the old game
Bravo about the Brutii! Bendis smiles ubon you! :b
"STICK TO THE PLAN JON! REMEMBER TAHITI!"
Of course you’re playing the Dacians, who just gave me hell yesterday. Was just about to crush Egypt when those scraggly bastards showed up.
Its nice to you back playing another rome total war campaign.
Jon, the real inspiration for the phrase, Omnibus locis fit caedes
Jon! You need armies! You can buy armies with diplomats! What greater flex is there than buying the now rebel Roman armies with diplomats?
Loving this new series Jon, looking forward to the next episode!!!
Man, I love these videos. They are just so fun
It's "You don't have the votes" but I loved the reference regardless!
I honestly thought the video was gonna say "the grand finale"
nope just the grand 3rd episode
It was for the Brutii
I want to make a BERSERK reference about you playing just mercenaries... Literal Band of the Hawk!
Thank you Jon 😊
Your ability to entertain is astounding. I salute you sir.
I think this is my most favorite total war campaign ever.
Jon go take Crete....cretan archers are the best(I think) as actually Jon said "that was the plan " . I agree with that plan . Its amazing you manage this only with mercenaries Jon.
All hail Jon, mighty King of the Dacian Pirate Horde Thassalocracy, leader of all disenfranchised mercs of the Mediteranian
Ah Jon playing Rome total war, it doesn’t get better than this
Loving Jons reenactment of the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
1 horse dead
Jon: That's a lot dead cav.
I mean he say this only after 1 die.
Jon, buy those Brutii with the giant piles of money
So disappointing this episode wasn't called "Captain Jon's Non-Sexual Pirate Adventure"
Consensual Pirating is best pirating
