More that Scotland was kinda worthless Same reason they ignored the Irish lmao "It just rains all the time, Imperator. And there's weird guys with weird accents who keep insulting us from the top of cliffs!"
And when certain traits effected their lines, for example if extremely drunk all the time they would be drunk in their speeches. Creative assembly don't give their games enough care as they use too
Scotland can probably be one of the most fun campaings if you just chessed the early game and spammed Higlanders that would buzzsaw all of the other factions early troops.
Honestly that's what I did. Siege warfare is stupid fun when you have about three siege towers worth of axes and claymores ready to wreak havoc on any wall defenders

While not first the Scottish did actually try to colonise America in an incredibly intelligent way . They tried to build a Canal , much like the Panama Canal with the thought that charging for entry as this would greatly reduce time and danger for shipping would make them incredibly wealthy , however it was a disaster for them due to disease etc , and put Scotland in huge debt , They were definitely too early to the party when trying this as technology wasn’t up to scratch. this is one of the main reasons Scotland joined the UK as this huge debt would be covered for them .
14:12 Scotland: you were my brother Denmark! I loved you! Denmark: I will bring freedom, justice, and Milan to my new empire! Scotland: your new empire? Denmark: don’t make me kill you… Scotland: only a tyrant deals in absolutes… I will do what I must. Denmark: you will try…
Honestly the moment I saw this upload I was wondering how long till the "Scotland Forever" audio was gonna be used... about 4 minutes 23 seconds. Good on ya lad. Loved the vid as always man.
For me and my Scottish run, I was bros with France. But then France got mostly conquered by Milan and being the bro that I was I took most of France's old lands back from Milan by force. And as fair compensation, I kept all the land I conquered because I knew France would understand. Because I was such a bro. *innocent whistle*
I love how Scotland, a relatively niche player faction, gets a full and wonderfully acted set of voicelines that is unique to them (until the Kingdoms expansion), while the entire Mediterranean has to share one set of voicelines.
This was great, simply just perfection all the way through; congrats on another banger Pilps. I now eagerly await The France Experience just for the hilariously snooty laughter, bashing on the English and HRE pig-dogs, and avenging Agincourt before it even happens.
I enjoy playing as Scotland because you can go from uniting the local Celtic rebels and feuding with the English, to shoving your pike into the HRE , doing a reverse invasion of Norway, and creating an Empire that spans from Ireland to Hamburg/Genoa.
i miss the small animations done by this game, the way the troops move, charge, to the way they reload and brace for cannon fire, it still makes medieval 2 my favorite total war still to this day. I really wish CA would put these small details into their new games. They honestly make a big difference. ;-;
They still have that for their newer warhammer games, just the focus is kinda on different things i think. Granted, i havent tried their historical games yet.
You really manage to condense all the fun of a total war campaign into these videos, and for that I salute you. It is actually more difficult to have fun playing Medieval 2 myself to the extent that I enjoy watching these Experiences.
@@morpheusgreene2704 um, you must have mistaken something. I have thousands of hours in strategy games of the slower kind (including m2tw), attention span issue is kind of out of the window. I've thoroughly exhausted med2 to the point playing it feels like an absolute chore, but watching these lets me relive exactly all the fun parts.
You can also field those Scottish armoured swordsmen, Knights Hospitallers and mercenaries such as mercenary longbowmen, mercenary arquebusiers, etc.. There’s also a very fast moving mercenary light cavalry unit with armour piercing weapons from the east (“Alan light cavalry”?).
All I saw for a moment were kilts, pikes, Braveheart, and the need to scream out: *SSSCCCOOOTTTLLLAANNNDDD FFOOOORRREEVVVEEERRRR!!!!!!!!* _Begins to blare out Bagpipes to terrify English dogs_ Yes I'm back pilps. Good video as usual!
Dunno but everytime i see videos like this makes me play medieval 2 again, it's like there's something in medieval 2 and shogun 2 that always makes me comeback unlike the newer titles.
Just reminds me of this weirdo middle school substitute teacher who talked about Japanese beheading Chinese people during WW2 because he briefly mentioned how Scotland and Ireland are actually the same country and are connected by a land bridge Honestly I have a lot of insane teacher/sub stories from middle school and it all makes sense once you take into account the fact that I lived in Florida at the time
That really speaks volumes about American education. I realize a substitute teacher is hardly an example of high academia or anything, but it's not a ridiculous hiring standard for the person who will be teaching children to actually know basic geography... It's a systemic problem too, I interact with a lot of Americans who are staying in Scotland, and apart from the Americanisms and sheer lack of cultural knowledge, they're just geographically illiterate... Some of them think they can just go on road trips in this country like they can in America and are shocked that they end up in another country after just 2 hours of driving.
Sounds like the kinda person who makes a mockery of their history degree by writing books about Atlantis and conspiracy theories involving the 'lost' tribes of Israel.
@@spaghettimkay5795 Tourists are the dumbest of the dumb. It should go without saying that there are plenty of intelligent people in the US, considering we put a man on the moon and had the most solid logistics of ww2 out of every other involved nation.
Scotland always was and still is my favourite nation in Medieval, thanks to the Braveheart movie. Besides, it's just fun to pick a small country and, despite all difficulties, turn it into a mighty empire ^_^
I took the whole world as england once. The worst to fight were the genoese, then those horse riders in the far east. Every unit was basically and armored knight with a long range bow, half the times a horse too. I threw mailed knight after mailed knight after feudal knight at them. This a good game.
Being of both English and Scottish heritage as a American I have no idea how to feel about playing either faction. I feel like both the villain and the hero and idk what to do. I also like Longbows tho soooo... *pew pew*. I am torn.

Medieval II was the first game i owned as a kid, and i put thousands of hours into it conquering the world. i've been chasing that feeling ever since. theres just something about this game that just hit all the good points that HOI4 or CK3 just cant
It's beautifully ironic how in this scenario the Scots were fighting to secure their independence from England. And then once they did, they reformed into a powerful modern pike and shot army and embarked on a massive conquest. They became the very thing they swore to oppose.

I was always missing new fctions and balance changes from Kingdoms in vanilla, but |retrofiit and every retrofit-based mod i tried (i.e. Vanilla Beyond) made the campaign AI extremly passive, no wars in the whole world for the first 35 turns, and they even have problem with sieging rebels.
Yes it is, i widely recommend it. And don't worry about the IA, is just as agresive and treacherous as vanilla's :)
Medieval II was the first game i owned as a kid, and i put thousands of hours into it conquering the world. i've been chasing that feeling ever since. theres just something about this game that just hit all the good points that HOI4 or CK3 just cant
Nothing beats the feeling of reliving history or remaking it!
You make me want to play more Total War bro, and I already play A LOT of Total War
Now... It's time to scream "FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOM".
Like a Mal Gibson.
It's beautifully ironic how in this scenario the Scots were fighting to secure their independence from England. And then once they did, they reformed into a powerful modern pike and shot army and embarked on a massive conquest. They became the very thing they swore to oppose.
Scotland when they get gunpowder: LET’S DO IT!!!! *explosion* OH THEIR GOING HAVE GLUE BACK TOGETHER, IN HELL!!!!!
