- To celebrate 100,000 subscribers, I've been playing Ryse: Son of Rome, which features a rather ludicrous plot, a baffling take on history, and some very unfair statements about Britain...

Jon raging about the historical inaccuracies its amazing, just amazing. I love it
+Smeagol the Vile Why do throwing spears cause barrels to explode?
+Smeagol the Vile I thought the same thing
Also what would early 1st century british natives have need of barrels of some sort of explosive? And what explosive was it even?
Arakan Shriek it was their supply of magic history altering spacedust.
Smeagol the Vile I just love Jon so much like idk - I'm not gay but I
Just love him
I did my Ba in Roman history. I have watched 3 minutes of this Hollywood History and already feel like killing myself...
The only way I can explain Britain needing to be re-conquered and the barbarians invading Rome itself is that Nero ROYALLY fucked up during those extra 30 years of not being dead and the fall of rome is starting significantly ahead of schedule. Doesn't explain the chains or "King Oswald", though.
That or this entire game takes place in a Doctor Who-esque time crash and all historical events are happening simultaneously.
In that case, the game could completely restore my faith by letting you play as King Arthur halfway through. (it wont.)

"Your sister is eager to see you."
I've read enough stories about the Roman nobility to know where this goes.

Did Rome have microtransactions?
Yes, they had a virtual currency that could only be bought with real money.
no you could earn it through multiplayer too
The microtransactions in the game are really not necessary. I don't think it was a good idea to implement them in the game but some people are ready to pay to get stuff a bit quicker, the developers knew it and took advantage of it. But again, you DON'T need to buy anything with real money, exept for the game itself obviously.
+Kian Friden Rome wasn't built in a day. It was built with micro-transactions.
+Daniel Northway wow they had multiplayer back then!?
As a proud Glaswegian I was very offended to see the portrayal of Scottish people in this game - look how puny and pathetic the horns they gave us are, they're casting aspersions on our animalistic virility!!!
I like the fact that the thing that made Jon swear was a historical inaccuracy. Jon, you're a wonderful man.
It's sort of strange having England being on the receiving end of the "noble savage" trope.
Clearly this game is someone's fan fiction about a game of Civ V.
@@RainaThrownAway fan fiction? This is exactly what Civ 5 is
“They have plundered the world, stripping naked the land in their hunger… they are driven by greed, if their enemy be rich; by ambition, if poor… They ravage, they slaughter, they seize by false pretenses, and all of this they hail as the construction of empire. And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that peace.”
― Tacitus
'Behold them, conquerors of the world, the toga-clad race of Romans!'
-Augustus
Tacitus is such a downer.
@@raynes6286 But a correct downer
Weeeeelll.... it could be worse. He could be Cicero. A /waffly/ downer.
As a Scotsman I too have a 80ft wicker man in my back yard. Congratulations on the 100K, onwards and upwards

Knowing this game's historians, the chains were probably taken from the Ottoman empire, thinking, "eh, there were Romans there".
+Fadman Loki You mean the Byzantine aka Eastern Roman Empire that used those chains? :P
+wilhelmrk well, looks like I belong on Microsoft's research department. See ya!
+Fadman Loki The chains were from Byzantine. Against the Ottomans. Then the Ottomans still proceeded. With the ships. On the ground. I'm not kidding.
Meto Metej Depends on which chains they were. There were lots of chains being used to stop ships at different location and dates.
ehhhh Byzantines, Romans same difference
"We march for York!"
Oh, you mean Eboracum, which is what you Romans called it when you built the place, later renamed to Jórvík by the vikings, later renamed York?
Ooooh, the mysterious 'N' knife.
The 'N' stands for Narbarians.
Narbomartians??
One of the things that constantly bugged me about this game was the combat and more specifically his swordplay. If I remember correctly, legionnaires were trained to hold their shield first and then use their swords to stab their enemies from behind the shield, and only in special circumstances where they to use a cutting or chopping motions. Here we see the main character constantly swinging his sword and flailing his shield out to the side, exactly the opposite to how a legionnaire would be trained
Marius must be of Greek lineage.
+Tom Savine Games often struggle with ancient warfare, because all good ancient warfare is based around discipline, standing together, effectively a strong defensive line that can slowly move forward and crush anything put in front of it, But that doesn't suit a game where you want one character to be a protagonist, and it doesn't work for films either - in 300, the Spartans often break out of the phalanx just to do some one-on-one fighting. The old TV Series Rome had a fairly food representation of what we think Roman fighting was actually like, in which Pullo acts a bit like Marius, and ends up in prison and whipped for his failure of discipline.
+Many A True Nerd That's a real shame seeing as a Roman game based around holding the line and using different formations to destroy your enemies would be awesome in my opinion
+Tom Savine They probably did it this way because the way the Roman's did it would be boring in terms of gameplay.
Tom Savine it's called rome total war
King Oswald was a king of Northumbria somewhere in the 500-600AD range, I'm pretty sure Rome had fallen by that point. Congrats on 100,000
ZombieCleo The Western half did.
@@darthsidious6380 eastern half lasted about another 1,000 years
Is this Julianus Vatinius' backstory, he was good enough to bat arrows out of the air and throw pilum across a city.
I believe the Oswald they're going for is Oswald of Northumbria, who ruled the complete wrong area of England and about 540 years later... There's just no other significant Oswald to mind.
Also, a saxon king of an Iceni queen
So I see this is as accurate to Roman history as God of War is to greek mythology.
+gunmunz So you're saying I should play God of War and critique it as accurate mythology... Intriguing...
+Many A True Nerd YESSSSSS
Many A True Nerd I wasn't saying that, just making a dumb comment on the gam. but that would be interesting...
+Many A True Nerd Any Criticism of God of War is fine by me. ^_^
+Many A True Nerd DO this PLLLLLLSSSSSS that would be amazing.
Congrats Jon! It's been a wild ride, you deserve it more than any youtuber I could name. You're my favorite content creator and It's great to see you doing so well, here's to millions more!
+MiningSolo He really does deserve this, congrats Jon!
*Millions more
true
I can't agree more, let the ManyATrueNation rise and rise
+Simon Wolfson One of us, one of us...
My brain is a weird jumble of noise. haha! When you said you were a classicist, brain sort of went... "Wait...Jon practices class discrimination?" but then after a minute I figured it out. haha!
Story time:
I had something similar happen to me in my grade 10 (Sophmore year) English class in high school. We were reading Julius Caesar and the teacher explained that the "Falling Disease" was Epilepsy, and a student asked "But, why would having epilepsy keep you from being a ruler?" and I interjected, quite "know-it-all" like "Well, how are you suppose rule if you keep falling asleep all the time." There was a moment of silence then the teacher said, very firmly, "Amy, That's narcolepsy."
-Detailed research of Roman Architecture
-Puts in fully completed Colosseum even though the construction was started by Vespasian 2 years after the suicide of Nero
oh wait 4 years
"Archers to the front line, military genius!" According to your Rome: Total War series it is genius.
As long as we are splashing about in an unrealistic, alternate universe... any chance Marius gained some form of immortality via constantly executing people for a health boost whenever he felt a bit sick, lived on in this manner about oh, 20 odd centuries, emigrated to the United States, took a construction job in the southwest, was trapped in some sort of odd Hazmat suit while building a ridiculous Casino Villa, survived a nuclear apocalypse and, in 2281, threw a Pilum 100 yards, between multiple railings through P.D. Shoot's face?
I'm a history major who is also very knowledgeable on the Romans and this is the hardest I've laughed in a long time.
As someone interested in roman history this game feels like getting a broom showed up my arse.
Am I the only one who just rewatches this series every once in a while? I find it easily the funniest MATN series. Easily.
Clearly you meant Stuart Ashen when you were talking about the greatest achievement by Norwich.
Id say you are correct.
two minutes in and this videos is already more educational than any history class I've attended
2 and a half minutes in the Jon tells why this game is accurate as the history channel is today
Caesar's Legion has really gone downhill.
You know what time it is? Time to wait 15 years for you're silver play button
+Joseph Furlow yeah most youtubers get the gold one first
+andreastheshadow lmao
I love the historical perspective. I wish games would crack open a history book and at least try to come close.
Gilhelmi Well, if you took Herodotus' 'objective' history then you could have a more exciting narrative than this.
i currently living in Norwich and yes before you ask i am watching this video from the big cave under the tree of life where we all live communally
Wolves were a big problem back then? Oh wow. Thought that wolves were rather anti-social when it came to human settlements.
Other question I have, I heard that barbarians weren't the nomads in fur typically portrayed, but was a term to refer to anyone that wasn't a Roman citizen. Is that accurate?
+icthulu The word Barbarian is from the Greek - Barbaroi - literally 'People who say bar bar', that being how Greek culture defined a barbarian - it was anyone who didn't speak Greek, so they mocked those people by pretending they went around saying 'bar bar bar bar bar'
+Many A True Nerd jon this rome when the historians of old spilt ink on to the recored history and just decide to make up as they went along
Many A True Nerd
Oh thank you. Good to know, and love the history lesson. You need to do this more.
Never heard of Budica (sp?) until now, and I empathize for you as a Britain to have a great female leader turned into an irrelevant daughter. That's really a travesty. Thank you for the education, well appreciated.
Figured that you would have thrown in Cleopatra or similar African leader as a famous female leader, but I know little of history except they purportedly make easy movie spectacles, so definitely deferring to your determination.
icthulu Cleopatras was actually sort of a shit leader. And Boudicca ultimately failed, but unlike Cleopatra, did a good job.
+Many A True Nerd what happened to toal war rome
This is my favorite video of yours. The constant historical discrepancies that you point out, the glitches, the history lessons, man, this has it all. I'm proud to be part of the 100,000+ people who agree.
MATN, you should've gotten 100,000 when you started, you're the best UA-camr there ever was, you deserve so much more, especially for what you've given us. I thank you and congratulate you on achieving something that you should've gotten so much longer ago, by now, in my opinion, you should've reached 1,000,000 subscribers on this day, but unfortunately, this has not happened, but hopefully, as more people discover your ever growing channel, you shall gain more and more subscribers, but not just subscribers, friends, you will gain more friends than you could ever imagine, and these friends will help you in the darkest of times. Again, thanks for all you've given.
I am absolutely adoring this interpretation of the game; I might not be versed in the classics, but I am a great fan of certain historical locations and times. An excellent choice for your celebration! Well done and thank you Jon!
It's now a year later and you've got 219.549 subscribers. Greetings from the future :) I love your "indignant" voice!

6 years on and over half a million! After a few bot/inactive account wipes at that.
Captain Javelin would make a great addition to the Justice League.
I like to think that the story writers for this game just recorded a single campaign of Rome: total war, then threaded together some highlights during it into a single narrative for their version of 'Steve the peasant' to fight in with historical names of a common time period thrown in to make it sound like it's historically accurate to the uninformed masses.
The barbarian who killed his father quickly switched his axe for a roman sword, because reasons.
Belated congratulations on 100k subscribers! This came out just a little bit after I started watching your channel.
Invisible walls are the best way of defending an area. Your enemy never sees it coming.
Haha! That bit with the pila and Boudica was great.
I loved hearing a historical perspective on this game (what it got right, what it got wrong). I feel like there probably isn't too much of that on youtube. Thanks for the video!
Jon and his freaking obsession with losing hats!
+Shady Doorags "Never without my hat" is a motto I'd go into battle under.
Could we have more like this? Your classics knowledge is very interesting. Considering I know very little about all of it. ^_^
Technically Hadrian's Wall was not build to keep out the Scots, but the Picts. The Scots descend from an Irish tribe called the Scotti who took over modern day Scotland after the Romans had left Britain.
Oh you will just love the ending
That doesn't sound good!
+Scythernal do you want to know, its extra strength stupid
JimmyDC99 How lovely. I'm looking forward to it :)
Scythernal like imagine what would be stupid, like remember history and how that was like ok i get this,
now imagine it being not that at all and your constantly saying THIS MAKES NO SENSE
JimmyDC99 Oh gee! Sounds fun.
Congrats on the 100k Jon! Although, while seeing this game torn to shreds by a classicist is just fantastic, your Latin is all over the place. I'm so glad that you started saying pilum at the end instead of continuing to talk about "throwing a pila" (22:45). Also, can we please say something about everybody "firing" arrows? Ain't no Roman (or anybody in the pre-firearm era) ever said that!
"Fire arrows" is actually a command to light fire arrows, then followed by draw and "loose"
'Beyond the wall'? Hadrian's Wall wasn't built until the 300s!
It was started in 122 AD and was mostly completed in about six years.
Sovereignty of space ducks. Yeah, found that out later. Big whoops. Still not accurate in the game though.
Gabriel Carter True. I just wanted to help people get the right knowledge.
Sovereignty of space ducks. Much appreciated.
Gabriel Carter ;)
The music when you showed us the lighthouse at Dover made me burst out laughing. Well played, John. Well played.
I like how he says," Damn you statue! I always knew you would kill me!" and in the end a statue kills Nero.
+jjfajen Hey, spoilers! I don't think I have ever been more captivated, nay, encapsulated in such a clever take on alternate history and you just go and prematurely reveal the thrilling twist ending. For shame sir, for shame! I don't think I will ever recover from this travesty...
Ey Jon! Have you ever thought about doing an original fallout play through oh this channel?
Maybe a kill everything or a no kill run? Just a suggestion...
Nah those sound boring how about a yolo run
+FlyCaster A YOLO run of the original fallout's is possibly more impossible than Fallout 3.
+Mr.Master Mann You missed...
Yeah now that I think about it trying to kill everything in the first game would be pretty tedious...
+Mr.Master Mann Hell I don't care if he just does a normal playthrough without any self imposed challenge, a playthrough of the first two fallouts would be great!
As a student currently taking a course in western world history through architecture, it gives me great solace hearing you point out all the historical inaccuracies in this game. Thank you, Jon, you are backing up my training with hard core evidence and knowlede! Plus, its super interesting hearing all this from a non-teacher perspective. Yay history!!!!
Congratulations mate! I found you through fallout as i was searching for a good youtuber that i actually enjoyed to watch when it comes to fallout and after finding you and this channel i have found more than enough entertaining videos! You massively deserve this :) I do hope you upload more and keep this career going as it keeps people happy and excited for more. Keep up the good work as always and u will get to 200k in no time ;)
+thePatRiot same :)
found the channel through fallout same kill everything episode 11 in the dlc is when i found the channel back in like 15 k subs
+thePatRiot Nerd³ brough me here.
5 Months later...
150,000 subs
Kuba 2 years later, 300,00
I think Jon's doing fairly well.
Wait a minute. 58:30. First recorded use of "Flimey" in human history.
+Burgsonification That sort of thing normally means I just caught myself before swearing more harshly...
Subbed to Jon for over a year, how have I not seen this?!?
I have to say that I love your little history lessons you put in with this. I'm a history buff and I didn't even know some of this stuff. Thank you so much. Loved the play through and I love your wit.
One reason I love you Jon is because of you being a classicist, another is your references to Doctor Who you make every once in a while. I'm glad I could be with you during the 100,000 sub milestone, Gratulatio!
I just watched the entirety of the old Rome series because you said they had the only real representation of roman battle tactics and even though said tactic was literally only shown in 2 short scenes I enjoyed every episode very much, so I just wanted to thank you!
Oh, I love when your Classical knowledge peeks through-- an entire hour and a quarter of it is lovely.
Ah! I suppose I should also congratulate you on 100k subscribers; what an amazing landmark. You are quite possibly my favourite UA-camr and I wish you so much more success in the future.
Late to the party here, but how amazing would an hour long video of Jon lecturing about the history of Rome be?
Nero!?!? NERO!?!? No!!! No!! this started awesome!
You should do more historical games MATN, I thought it was really interesting to hear an educated rundown of a game while you played it.
Haha that Alan Partridge comment was the funniest, I haven't been subscribed to you for long but you're quickly becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs, you're so condescending and I love it
Maybe Marius' ancestor is the ghost person with the great throwing arm from the YOLO series.
He sounds very David tennant wen he says "what!?"
wow, 5,000 to 100000 you definitely deserve it, he only person I know that can make such great videos
Vidi, Risi, Didici
Cheers on another brilliant video and hitting 100,000+
5 years on I like to think the multiple attacks on Rome in this game are the Great Dacian Pirate fleet jumping off their boats, attacking, exterminating and then naffing off
If Boudica's alive and an adult, we're in around 50-61AD unless this is an alternate universe where she lived to 90AD and looks incredibly good for 60 years old.
Ah, he mentioned it.
Was a follower of your channel for a while now and your playthroughs are a joy to watch, but this... this is just on another level! Keep it up, this was a blast!
hey jon, have you seen I, claudius?
+pyromaniac aardvark I have - great series
Oh... My... God... You did it! I've been here for a long time, to long ago to count but, my God, I'm so glad you made it!Keep up the amazing work. Can't wait for teh next milestone!
I learned about roman history on a UA-cam gaming video.
Also Jon pease play Dark Souls. I can definitely see it being your kinda game.
Movin on up Jon. 💃🏼🎉💃🏼 Congrats on the 100,000 and I loved classical studies at school. We briefly covered Rome as we only covered Augustus Octavion and Ceaser whilst scooting around political structure and social life as compared to the Greeks so I'm learning today!
Whoaa 100,000 that is crazy i didnt even realized you grew that much.i remember the days when you had 8,000 subs. Good job i always felt you deserved millions.
I can't help but smile as you take apart the historically inaccuracies.
3 years and nearly 300.000 more subscribers. looking good! Also: I watch this atleast once every year, cause it's gold.
congratulations on making it to 100k you 100% deserve it and you deserve all the growth you will get in the future
Huh. I actually learned a lot about Roman history here. And I thought I was already well-versed. I also learned what classicists were, so there's that.
One thing I'd also like to point out: Marius is hilariously unskilled with a gladius. As far as I know, while it can be used for slashing, it was primarily a thrusting weapon, designed to do as much damage as possible to unarmoured flesh. And I'm pretty sure the only time Marius uses it for its intended purpose is in executions. Also, he's swinging an 18-inch blade like it's a damn claymore. You don't need to put your whole body into swings like that. It's a waste of energy, and, more importantly, movement. And spins... oh man, spins. Backs are such a tempting and easy-to-hit target. Why would you ever spin?
But, then again, the developers had little concern for historical accuracy, so why would they have concern for martial accuracy either?
Wow congratulations! I remember watching you at like 20 000 and the quality never changed, it only got better
Love hearing my favourite youtuber mention my hometown - St Albans represent!
I love everything about this video MATN. As someone who loves history as well I also love to point out historical inaccuracies in movies all the time. Thank you John this video made my day
Congrats on the 100,000 subscribers Jon! You really should have 10 times that to be honest, but I guess that's how the cookie crumbles. I was so lucky to find the hidden gem that is your channel, and I hope it continues to thrive! Keep up the good work!
He got genuanlly upset over how they redused Boudicca into a woman in a refrigerator and... It just makes me so happy that he actually cares and calles it out and this is great.
Thank you for this. I loved this so much! It's a shame they neutered Boudica.
Congrats! Also, this is awesome! Watching you tear this game to historical shreds has been the highlight of my week. Can't wait for the ending!
I knew I'd seen those Scottish people before. Sean Connery's character kills one in Time Bandits.
This video is brilliant, Jon. Easily my favorite, and uniquely you. Erudite, amusing, well played, and hilariously satirical. We ought to get you on Radio4 (just so long as you keep making awesome videos)!
So which Centurion was Rory?
That old video game staple of "Let's put exploding red barrels next to our minions" never made much sense, but at least you could assume it was full of weapons or fuel or something useful to the bad guys. But here . . .What the hell could they be using? Do they just need a LOT of oil for their lanterns?
Damn jon, i have been watching you since fallout new vegas you only live once - part 1 and its AWESOME to see you grow, it was amazing seeing you in a video with nerd cubed as well.
What I have learnt in this video is to always top up your gravity. Thanks Jon!
Love the historical commentary, and would love to see more! I likes me some learnin' with my LP's.
So the game is pretty gorgeous, and looks like a kinda fun button masher. But WTF with Boudicca??? I mean, seriously, I don't understand why they made the choices they made with her. I suppose I should be pleased they didn't have her wearing nipple tassels as well. Like, the one bloody woman in the game, you could at least make her a full-fledged person. Gah.
Glad I was around for this :) the Boudica spear throw was incredibly funny as was your reaction!
congrats jon its been along time coming ive been here since like 35k its been fun keep up the good work
27:46 "Fetid? Oh la di dah!" HAHAHAHAHAHA
Congrats on 100K! Keep up your great channel, SUPPORT BRO!!!
I'm super excited you're going to finish this off. I can't wait.
Oh, this would also help explain why you love Rome: Total War so much! I bet you love the history that plays out in that game.
Otherwise, even though I've watched your video for a while I never knew what you studied in, but it's really interesting to hear that.
Also, congrats on the 100k. I really love your channel and your voice is great, and you've never failed to bring interesting content. I subscribed months ago and I'm still finding cool stuff to watch on your channel, keep up the good work Jon!
+Arakan Shriek Also, only 3 minutes in, and I'm loving the historical commentary. I think I'm going to love this B)
As a history nerd I may be partial but this is one of my favorite videos you've made so far.
As for interesting women in ancient history, I think Queen Zenobia deserves a mention
It's truly amazing how fast your channel has grown over the past few years. It seems like it was only yesterday you were uploading Kill Everything/No Kill of New Vegas.
Congrats, and here's to another 100000 more subs! :D
I saw the game title and length of video and though maybe not my thing but I was wrong! You made this really entertaining, funny and I loved the history lesson, thanks. I look forward to the next part. Congratulations on 100K.
