He had minimum authority, basically meaning if he ever improved he’d get worse and the kingdom would break down. I like to think of it as basically being an idiot savant rather than the game not knowing how to count.
Lol, that is so broken. I've never seen this kind of ridiculousness either. I think the closest I've ever seen to this Banyas incident was a settlement that had a bunch of merchants and diplomats in it.

Just saying never played anything past total war shogun 2 but due to this youtuber have now branched out to some fantastic games in this series, but I do know I might end up sending my disasters to you. Cheers!
Jableh is 200 km away from Banyas. there's a Baniyas that is 20 km away but that's not the Banyas in-game, the Banyas in-game is a now dead city closer to Acre and is in the golan heights at 33°14′55″N 35°41′40″E
I think the Crusades campaign is incredibly fun. If you play as Jerusalem and manage to cripple/destroy the Egyptians early on, you basically have free access to the Nile delta.
When you're certain to abandon a settlement or you can't sustain normal order in it just cramp up taxes to "very high" to get those last florins for the next turn. Also i think disbanding the last unit in the settlement is not a good option. At least when the eney besieges it you can still get some dmg to the enemy if you activate towers and then run back to the box to give battle-to-the-last-man. You can still manage to hurt the enemy at least a little.
Yep. That would have been my go to strategy as well. Turn up the trouble for the Egyptians. Also always thought that the higher tax rate would produce a stronger rebellion, but I have no idea if that is even true or not.
No better way for you to add to Christmas mood than to perform a little Christmas miracle. (Writing from a country that prefers to celebrate Christmas per Julian calendar, placing it at January 7.)
The dude cheated to get you to do the campaign. The black peasant means he spawned troops unavailable to that country by using consul commands. Do you see how those same Manganols appear as white troops on the battlefield? That is because their texture doesn't load in if the country doesn't have access to that unit type.
It's pretty likely that he spawned soldiers into the Egyptian cities and let them work their way up, the rest were likely native to Egypt so they had not texture problems.
@@alexwalker455 Alas, I reckon this is a fun campaign none the less, certainly, a more genuine approach to campaign disaster generation would be preferable, but then not all gamer have too much time to spare.
I'm just curious, is there a save file which you didn't. Don't get me wrong, you are amazing and overwhelming TW player, but did someone sent impossible save which defeated you ?
Just FYI but at 1:25:45 the graphs tell you you are around turn 113 but in reality you are at 128. This happens very often. Next turn you will see the graphs at turn 128. That's why you can't see any progress.
I think te most important part of Templar strategy when playing with Crusaders is to constantly put pressure on the Egyptians from the very beginning and push them back, eventually capture their main cities, Cairo and Alexandria, using the advantage of better armies and wonderful commanders, otherwise one would expect getting in this kind of trouble over and over again.
16:21 you know when there’s a clown car and like 10 clowns come out of it that’s what it was like seeing all of those priests coming out of that settlement. Just a priest clown car.
I beat this game on the hardest difficulty with Egypt using exclusively cav units and infantry when taking cities. The AI kept recruiting bigger and bigger infantry based armies but all I had to do was get them to run after firing on them with mounted arrows - make them exhausted then charge them repeatedly until the rout.
but yes ofcourse, templars gunners i remember them being crucial in the crusades same as those mg42 legionnaires u had in the thumbnail of that video about histrorical accuracy in TW games yes
Omg so glad this somehow popped into my recommended. Forgot how awesome medieval 2 was, still on par with Rome 2 and atilla. This made me crave it again and after 30 min of digging through a crate of old Cds I finally remembered that steam is a thing rofl. Just started up a fresh Turk campaign on the classic map. Three kingdoms looks to be amazing but I rele hope for a Medieval 3 afterwards. Only this time the map should extend south to Mali and Ethiopia and east atleast up to Delhi or Bangladesh. The steppe can for the most part very left out or cut off around Samarkand as that was a crucial and central city to the history. either way this was masterful campaign gameplay man well done never thought you could dig yourself out of that precarious start position. Keep up the good work you got a new sub
If anyone can remember the mod that had the map cover India into Delhi and Bangladesh extending west up to anatolia and south west up to northern Egypt I'd appreciate someone naming it for me thanks
It's been ages since I last played this game. Brings back memories. Thanks for uploading it and subscribed your channel. Look forward to seeing more from you. Cheers!
When I try to use spears/archers against the Mongols they just charge into the infantry and route everything. With Russia I used mostly heavy horse archers clumped together against the Tims which worked wonders when the elephants weren't there, so I guess that would crush the Mongols as well.
By the way, med 2 has a bug when it comes to giving the promised level of experience to units. The only way to get the experience (as far as I know) is to train the units as the very last thing you do before ending your turn (although building doesn't seem to interfere, apparently, but moving troops certainly does). If units take several turns to build, you have to retrain them (again, as the very last thing you'll do before ending the turn). It took me forever to figure this out (it was mentioned in a video by Arachir Galudirithon, actually).
@@moanguspickard249 Sorry, I didn't see your comment until now... You can get experience chevrons from certain buildings, but for some reason the experience is not gained if you do anything between recruiting the units and ending the turn. And for units needing several turns to be recruiting, you always have to retrain them (as the last thing you do this turn) to get the experience, and it has to be in a settlement with buildings granting experience (unless some building give a global bonus to experience).
Honestly I was surprised you didn't take the opportunity to make a couple of Assassins considering you had so many Imams for them to practice on in the area.
38:39 "They're surrounded by enemies" No, they're surrounded with opportunities (in one of the richest regions in the game). HRE is a pushover early in the campaign and you've got top-notch militia units to abuse.
That thing at 19:14 with the authority rolling back to 10 when you get -1 might actually be a bug the programmers didnt notice or ignored for whatever reason. Its something like rollback, and quite common among bugs. Cant be sure though, not too familiar with this game, and also not an expert programmer
