Speaking of proverbs, maybe they do dances to bring rain, or in this cause evil, evil, murder. We might to some dancing. Make sure you don’t get them wrong; the murder dance it’s just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right.
General Karl: the man who lived. Feels like a great start to a legend, maybe not as great as "Ex-Captain of a contingent of cretan archers" but you know, it's workable.
"And it was said on that day that General Karl stood among the bodies of his fallen men, their blood on his greaves giving him purpose and the wailing of their souls fueling his need for revenge. For God and country, for the honour of those that had fallen, General Karl kept his ground. Neither lance nor sword nor arrow could break the steeled purpose he was imbued with. General Karl was the man who lived."
I think the Moorish peacekeeping forces just found a huuuuuge stockpile of Siege equipment and decided to simply bring it to you to dismantle. Except the commander misread the report and thought they were attacking...
I have a system where I'll keep as much militia in a town as I can keep for free to have the taxes higher and with castles I'll have 2 peasants per castle (3 in less happy areas) and add a unit every time the settlement upgrades. I train them the turn I start the upgrade to keep people happy during the transition when squalor can spike. For places unlikely to be attacked anyway. Mentioning this because you have only 2 militia in the starting capital that could have 5 for free and be happier and thus more taxable and you have a lot of good troops just lying around in settlements not doing anything when they could be gathered and put to use
just a bit of advice, if you take it, 1. use the minimap (defend of hamburg proved that you dont) 2. before battle starts, group your infantry together then ungroup them, they will be stacked together down at the ui, do the same with archers and cavalry, it will be easier to chose your troops and you wont miss any, like many times you did when you wanted to find an archer but you couldnt because the order of troops are messy. think of this like how warhammer stack troops based on their type. 3.before battle starts, turn off skirmish mode from archers, make this one a habit, it will be easier to do this before hand then trying to issue orders middle of battle 4. before battle starts, draw your troops as close as you can to walls, so you wont have to wait them march all the way, and further they march, more tired they get, (like with the siege of halych, your archers were exhausted before they made it on the walls) 5. in city sieges, dont just wait for the need to arise to call additional troops, as soon as you have the gates and the towers are turned off, call the whole army in the city, that way you wont wait for archers to march from their starting positions to walls a long time (like with the siege of halych)
and why did you stop using merchants, at this point in the game, you would be swimming in money since every market in a city grants an addtional merchant, i know you dont like micromanaging all the different things, but still... and one more thing, if possible always go for a merchant guild, because merchant guild increases the city tax output, once you get level 3 with one guild,lets say thieves guild, since bonuses apply globally at that point, you dont need additonal thieves guilds in any other city, i know its little late for this particular advice, so just letting you know for other medieval 2 playthroughs.
Can't guys with ladders run in this game? I swear I remember that being a thing you said the comments pointed out in an early part and started doing, only to then completely forget it's a thing again cause you keep making them walk still.
Yeah, he keeps forgetting it. Possibly partly because he moves between games so much. On a previous episode I think he actually had a strategic reason for them walking, because he was timing their arrivals at the walls. But this one, I'm pretty sure he just forgot in the heat of battle.
Remember all those times when Staufen was completely undefended, and you decided not to take it because you were too worried about Poland? Now its the Imperials you're worried about.
The Daily Hugalu Mongolians have stopped bumbling. As appropriate, here are some reviews of the bumbling. Swyen of Milton Keynes: I Should Be Dead. 10/10 The Timurid Horde: May the Royal Bumbilition of the Khan be celebrated again. 11/10
Yehp, even when they killed your captain you didn't realise. Pause and reflect, I know you probably don't pause a lot to keep the flow of battle good for the video but if you're fight my on multiple sides just take a second
Yea I thought he was just acting but after watching a lot of his stuff...he just doesn't seem to notice stuff lol, don't get me wrong, I find it hilarious.
Fallout new Vegas, jsawyer, and other difficulty mods, maybe Casado death claws? And every dlc means everything put away? And the first thing you do is get into lonesome road. Maybe have a limit of how many times you can die before you are forced to throw away everything you have?
It’s a poor idea on its own, maybe he also has to be drunk per episode so he will be doing terrible? And every death means throw all items away? And in survival, which would make lonesome road a pain in the ass. But he does not have to do it right away, just in at least the second episode, and he is free to leave and come back to it whenever, but only will be allowed to collect food, water, and bad explosives? Maybe in the dlc’s unarmed and melee only, and when he completes a dlc he does not need to follow the bad explosives, food water rule, so he can properly prepare for the other things.
Jons battle management actually pains me lmfao "mercenary spearman attacking my scouts on the plaza! Oh no!" (whilst completely missing when and where they'd been attacked and how they were ultimately routed back to the plaza prior to this lol) oh Jon, I love you, never change lmao
I love Jon talking about how Venice was the last chance for a faction that wasn't Dicks. As though Jon hasn't been spending most of the campaign with a reputation of completely untrustworthy, betraying the peace, snubbing the Pope's desires to not wage war on Catholics, and going ham on Europe. Like every time he's talked in this campaign about someone being Dicks, it was him actually. Like he went on about Milan being dicks when Milan did, well, apparently nothing at all but Jon kept trying to call crusades on him until it stuck.
Fucking around in this game the other day and I encountered a captain Karl Marx. My general blabbered on about how the sword was to good for these rebels and that they deserved the gallows. That general didnt survive the battle
lol. Such a bad bad playthrough. So easy to predict and play... I really like you Jon, but man MTW2 really has a stupid Ai. WTF mongols havent even attacked yet. You should have played on VH..
'A watched horde never invades'

i would follow CPT Karl to hell and back
His men followed him to hell. Only karl made it back.

+VulpesHilarianus Krigare för Danmark och gud. Till helvetet han far och i ära och storhet han återvända! Länge leve Danmark och Karl!
actually like 14 men recovered from their wounds. So Karl brought 14 men back to life.
By the time the Mongols attack, city defenses will have advanced to auto targeting laser turrets.
When the Mongols attack there will be CIWS mounted on the walls to shoot down the rocket launchers.
I think the Moorish peacekeeping forces just found a huuuuuge stockpile of Siege equipment and decided to simply bring it to you to dismantle. Except the commander misread the report and thought they were attacking...
I Khan't believe the Mongols haven't attacked yet.
Yes, it's hard to see what their Mon-goal is at this point.
How much horde can a khan stack horde if a khan stack could stack hordes?
Ba dum tss
aphthakid Ha!
Game Theory: Is Karl the new Julianus Vatinius?
No, that was Steve Stenger. Ascended from Man of the Hour to King of Denmark.
That sole huskarl survivor from the scottish fight is gonna have some *hardcore* PTSD
Every bloody video I'm basically screaming "LOOK AT YOUR BLOODY MINIMAP JON" XD
Jon, who habitually ignores attrition deaths of agents, suddenly has to wonder where all his spies went. =>[.]
Ohhh, yeah. Taking over Polish territories really hits that spot for me.
That's a Halych I've needed scratching for a long time now.
Same for me! More territory for the Hibernian Inquisition to freely move in!
Tiberius you are my weakness
What can I say, I aim to please.
The Holy Roman Empire is neither holy nor Roman nor an empire.
Voltaire.
It was when there was no one to argue

jon has -1 perception, it is not unreasonable to expect him to miss such things.
The Mongols are going to end up fighting the bloody Timurids at this rate... That, or Jon will have Gunpowder before they attack.
Carl the Huscarl!
CAAAAAARL!
Mongols... The Portuguese of Asia.
no the portuguese are the mongols of europe
Me: *Sees title* Homework can wait, I want to see the mongols
see you at episode 100 then
Stuart Finch that's pretty generous
ok that was awesome....Capt Karl....perfect name as well!
plus the way he came to be was awesome...
clutch!
Calling it now: Captain Karl is the new Vatinius.
I wonder what Part it will be when Jon realizes the reason he has even less money is because he has no more merchants left.
just a bit of advice, if you take it,
1. use the minimap (defend of hamburg proved that you dont)
2. before battle starts, group your infantry together then ungroup them, they will be stacked together down at the ui, do the same with archers and cavalry, it will be easier to chose your troops and you wont miss any, like many times you did when you wanted to find an archer but you couldnt because the order of troops are messy. think of this like how warhammer stack troops based on their type.
3.before battle starts, turn off skirmish mode from archers, make this one a habit, it will be easier to do this before hand then trying to issue orders middle of battle
4. before battle starts, draw your troops as close as you can to walls, so you wont have to wait them march all the way, and further they march, more tired they get, (like with the siege of halych, your archers were exhausted before they made it on the walls)
5. in city sieges, dont just wait for the need to arise to call additional troops, as soon as you have the gates and the towers are turned off, call the whole army in the city, that way you wont wait for archers to march from their starting positions to walls a long time (like with the siege of halych)
and why did you stop using merchants, at this point in the game, you would be swimming in money since every market in a city grants an addtional merchant, i know you dont like micromanaging all the different things, but still...
and one more thing, if possible always go for a merchant guild, because merchant guild increases the city tax output, once you get level 3 with one guild,lets say thieves guild, since bonuses apply globally at that point, you dont need additonal thieves guilds in any other city, i know its little late for this particular advice, so just letting you know for other medieval 2 playthroughs.

yeah, i wept for all those unnecessarily dead crusaders.
Karl Bengston for the next Julianus Vertinius!
Tsar Drakken Vatinius, bitte sehr. Wie könnt ihr den Namen meines Vorfahren nicht kennen.
This channel has just become a weekly exercise in yelling, "Jon, look at your minimap!" I love this channel, but it gets so frustrating sometimes!
Genghis khans ghost told the Mongols to go back
Remember all those times when Staufen was completely undefended, and you decided not to take it because you were too worried about Poland? Now its the Imperials you're worried about.
those first breaks at the gate by the catapults probably won you the fight
Damnit, I thought the title meant MONGOL invasion!
At this rate by the time the Mongols are defeated the Timurids will have shown up.
The Daily Hugalu
Mongolians have stopped bumbling. As appropriate, here are some reviews of the bumbling.
Swyen of Milton Keynes: I Should Be Dead. 10/10
The Timurid Horde: May the Royal Bumbilition of the Khan be celebrated again. 11/10
6kvin10 stopped bumbling? ha you underestimate them!
Remember when Jon wasn't opposed by any real threats?
I think this is the first time I've actually seen you have to fight a battle in one of your own town plazas.
A strategically timed diplomat might make the Venetians happy friends and encourage them to go to war with the Imperials.
Clever of the AI to invade the town from multiple times since you're likely to forget or completely not see part of it 😂
Yehp, even when they killed your captain you didn't realise. Pause and reflect, I know you probably don't pause a lot to keep the flow of battle good for the video but if you're fight my on multiple sides just take a second
Where's Benor when you need him?
Staufenstead and Ivarioch. Jon and Mongols playing Skyrim in Medieval 2.
it's sometimes really annoying that you don't use the running option of the ladders anymore these days
Titled "The Invasion". I am so ready for this.
I need Moor Total Woor, er War!
Moor!
Oh, no more Moors?
Darn, that'll be next time...
They can't train spies or assassins!...as he mouses over the thieves guild building. I'm new, is this quite common?
Crowwolf 123 The running joke is Jon has -1 perception, it's _very_ common
Crowwolf 123 yep that’s basicly Jon in a nutshell
Yea I thought he was just acting but after watching a lot of his stuff...he just doesn't seem to notice stuff lol, don't get me wrong, I find it hilarious.
why doesn't Jon run his ladders to the walls anymore? he just lets them get shot to pieces.
Yes a new video!!!
KAAAAAAAARRRLLLL!!! ( in honour of the fearless houseKARL)
Good video Jon
Good comment, Chris.
Captain Karl for Faction Heir, he totally both deserve and is fit for it!
Fallout new Vegas, jsawyer, and other difficulty mods, maybe Casado death claws? And every dlc means everything put away? And the first thing you do is get into lonesome road. Maybe have a limit of how many times you can die before you are forced to throw away everything you have?

Wonder if we'll ever see a Rome 2 or an Attila playthrough
Jarrett Holsten Empire?
Hell yes
The next part better be called "the Nuremberg Defense"
The next part is gonna be "Oh shit how did I not notice that huge army of Venice literally right outside Magdeburg"
That was brilliant! You're really good at this game!
Jons battle management actually pains me lmfao
"mercenary spearman attacking my scouts on the plaza! Oh no!" (whilst completely missing when and where they'd been attacked and how they were ultimately routed back to the plaza prior to this lol) oh Jon, I love you, never change lmao
Your unit can run while holding ladders..
my mongols bumbled for so long turkey declared war on them
If the venitions do break the alliance you should ally with the byzantines
i don't want him bullying the Hungarians all they wanted was nuremburg
The French have blocked in Marseille!!!
run with your ladders !
You've uploaded 4 straight videos with WAR in the title and I wonder if that has something to do with your videos being demonetized?
Fake ancient battles is too edgy for advertisers
Captain Karl FTW
the moors would be great in WW1
Jaguar-Claw, if you hear me, I’m having a hard time and the only person around to comfort me can only speak in vague, and often depressing, prophecies
Now would be a terrible time 4 a Mongol invasion
you play so slowly i wish youtube had a 3x speed button
Matt Williams There is a 2x speed button IIRC.
He's a better Karl than I am... :/
Why not three episodes? per week?
I love Jon talking about how Venice was the last chance for a faction that wasn't Dicks. As though Jon hasn't been spending most of the campaign with a reputation of completely untrustworthy, betraying the peace, snubbing the Pope's desires to not wage war on Catholics, and going ham on Europe.

"Skirmish mode off"
*turns skirmish mode off*
"Skirmish mode off"
*Doesn't turn skirmish mode off*
"Skirmish mode off"
*Doesn't turn skirmish mode off*
*Wonders why they're avoiding getting close to the enemy*
Oh Jon, never change.
Watching you can be so truly frustrating, not noticing half of what happens :P
When you are so early, that you are first and 360p
MOAR TOTAL WAR JON
HI GUYS
Fucking around in this game the other day and I encountered a captain Karl Marx. My general blabbered on about how the sword was to good for these rebels and that they deserved the gallows. That general didnt survive the battle
That would've been a bit too early...
Please make Karl king!!!
buhahahhaha indirect fire buhahahhahaha
Early squad
JON PLEASE READ. Jon could u please play the ps4 vr game called the invisible hours. I really think you will like it.
oooooooo
yeah a new total war now can you play the worst total war ever rome 2

lol. Such a bad bad playthrough. So easy to predict and play... I really like you Jon, but man MTW2 really has a stupid Ai. WTF mongols havent even attacked yet. You should have played on VH..
