Tiberius Brutus I Caent believe it. I know this joke stopped being funny 10 parts ago but shut up. God save our gracious Queen. Long live our noble Queen God save the Queen Send her victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the Queen O Lord our God arise Scatter her enemies And make them fall Confound their politics Frustrate their knavish tricks On Thee our hopes we fix God save us all Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour Long may she reign May she defend our laws And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen Not in this land alone But be God's mercies known From shore to shore Lord make the nations see That men should brothers be And form one family The wide world over From every latent foe From the assassins blow God save the Queen O'er her thine arm extend For Britain's sake defend Our mother, prince, and friend God save the Queen Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring May he sedition hush And like a torrent rush Rebellious Scots to crush God save the King
suborbitalprocess There was also a 9-star general called Davy, who Jon talked to with a diplomat two turns in a row, the second turn he had become Prince Davy.
Amerrack Hunter Altough i do like the vikings im going to pop your bubble here. The vikings were mostly pagan. With big boi hre being christian if they had survived they wouldve become lithuania 2.0. (Teutonic order. You know the extermination of an entire belief) on top of the fact that a viking state was very fragmentend in comparison to a catholic one the viking country wouldve probably eventually destroyed itslef if its not annexed by other countries first.so vikings with guns is RIP vikings .sorry dude.
Normal person upon seeing that they're at war with 6 separate empires at once: "Oh crap. Well, looks like I'll have to negotiage a few ceasefires." Jon upon seeing that he's at war with 6 separate empires at once: "Oh crap. Well, looks like I'll have to commit a few genocides."
Update on my playthrough with France: It's finished! Finally taken everything in the world, first time I've ever done it! Won the campaign on turn 44 then took everything in the old world by turn 70-75 and had to wait nearly 100 turns to get to go to the Americas and take those. Finished on turn 190. Was getting really dull until the plague showed up, it's scary watching everything fall to the plague and because I owned every settlement the list of affected settlements and characters was massive. 150,000 people died in a turn. And I didn't realise it shuts off all Sea trade so I lost nearly all my money and had to stop building and wait it out, managed to save most of my generals at least. Never seen the plague before in the game and it's such a huge thing you can see its impact in almost all the charts. No idea how you'd wage a war with someone else under those conditions. Then shortly after the timurids showed up. I cut off the first wave as they entered the map and it was just an army and a half so felt pretty good. Then the next turn 4 full armies, this time with the elephants, appeared further up and I had to scramble like mad to deal with them, went turns just being unable to attack them and win if I couldn't have twice as many armies in a fight. And it was almost all all cavalry armies there first and fighting manually the elephants just obliterated them and their morale and I couldn't win. Managed to isolate and take them down until it was just the khan left and then sent in an army to finish him off. If I auto resolved he'd lived so I fought it manually, I lost 90% of that full army including the general and lost the battle but in their sacrifice they killed the Khan and destroyed the faction. I renamed bulgar after the fallen general. Then they showed up again the very next turn but by then I had so many armies in the area I dealt with them relatively easily and that was their last wave. Easily the scariest force to deal with in the game, wow. Hardest part in the game was my succession of awful kings with no authority. My first king, King Phillip, unified France and kicked out the English (destroying them at the same time) before retiring in the formerly rebel Dijon. He was a decent king and under him France became easily the biggest power in the world having taken France, and the rebel lands between France and Germany, the British isles, made headway into Spain and Italy and oversaw the crusades that took southern Spain, Northern Africa and Egypt. As the first Prince, Louis lead the charge to take the rebel parts of Iberia and then helped to take it all from the Moors then the Portuguese and then the Spanish in shock attacks. When he became King Louis he then wen tans took Sicily, Venice and when he took Constantinople and killed the emperor he destroyed the Byzantine Empire and the last non Catholics in the game. He had max dread, authority and command and was brutally scarred and near unkillable, my Julianus Vatinius. He took over the old world like Philip did for France. After him there was King Richart who was ok because he'd been on the first crusade of Corbuda and the second of Cairo and he was my only chivalrous king but he died very in a turn or two. After him was King Volo the mad who had two authority and was so young and losing armies so often I had him killed by standing in front of rebel crossbows. Sadly after him where two more kings with 1 authority who made it so I had to save scum for minutes to try and not lose any armies before accepting losing just one. They both died of old age in a few turns but those turns were such a chore. And after them was a young king with only 1 authority, at this point I realised that killing Volo hadn't helped and likely wouldn't help if I did that again, and this new king was King Louis II so I had big plans for him. While Europe was being ravaged by the plague (and after) he lead a small force on a tour of Europe from Italy to Greece to Hungary to Poland to Germany to France to Spain Taking out rebels that would defy his rule and take advantage of people during the plague. Also kept assassinate the pope to build up dread and authority When he got to Paris he picked up an army of Scots guard (great missile infantry that can fight) French mounted archers and knights Hospitalar (Gendarmes weren't as good) and when it was discovered that the world was round he was the first on the boats and the first to find land and the first to take land in America, took Jamaica without losing a man thanks to long range missiles. Never gotten to the Americas int he main game before and Holy shit it takes so long to be able to go and then so long to build the docks and then so long to sail there, and with the mainland you can't disembark just anywhere you have to go up to the top and around just under Florida so they can funnel you into the Aztec Lands (just sail left from Ireland to get nearly everything and then left from where Spain meets Africa to get Brazil). Burnt all my money sending Forces over there while having huge armies lining the east for good continuity and just in case. King Louis II lead the charge against all the aztec settlements, although with the abundance of agents I brought I had like 10+ assassins so I ended up wiping out the aztecs via assassination and made their other 2 settlements rebel. But the king kept leading the charge and he alone went in and took the former capital and the last place left in the world to conquer. He had max dread, was brutally scarred and despite many awful traits like madness he had great authority. As King Louis I conquered the old world, King Louis II conquered the new world. I really would not recommend playing until you can go to the Americas, it is interesting (funny that gold and silver are worth less than tobacco and chocolate) but it takes forever to get to that point. Unless it took you forever to get everything else I wouldn't bother and at that point taking America wouldn't be worth it unless it's all that's left. If I still had Europe to conquer I'd just send a horse of merchants over since that's where most of the money to be made is. The Americas expansion is fantastic and so much more detailed with far more to take and you can play more sides so I'd just play that instead. I'm glad I did it once to fully complete a game I love so much at long last but by god it got boring at points of just grinding turns. Think I'll play through the expansions next one by one and fully conquer them to. After that I'll just do random short campaigns. Could spend a year with this game it's such great value and such a great game.
you've inspired me to continue my sicilian game to the point at which i can see most of this because I too also finished most of my games without ever seeing any of this stuff happen.
A bit of a cheat way to deal with enemy agents is to surround them with eight units and then move a unit on top of them, no where to go so they despawn
Jon, you have impeccable timing! I just finished reading "The Heritage of Arn" by Jan Guillou and I feel like playing a game like this! But I'm on vacation and don't have my laptop with me, so getting more of his series is just what I need!
Armour piercing spearmen that can form a spear wall are _bonkers_ are you kidding? They're not underwhelming, _armour piercing anti-cav_ is one of the most potent troop combinations in the game!
Good Jon: We have too many wars at the same time. I think it's time for peace Evil Jon: Ok. I'll make pieces out of them Good Jon: You mean you'll make peace with them? Evil Jon: Yeah sure that
Archers when you’re trying to get them in position, “the enemy is like a mile away. Run!!” Archers when they are being charged, “dude have you smelled this flower?”
For the Crossbowmen not skirmishing: crossbowmen take a long time for their reload animations to complete. As long as they're in the middle of their reloading animation, they won't run away. So it's best to run them away one volley before you want them to.
48:35 Sweet sweet revenge. The Pope was happy to help a good peaceful catholic faction. I may be dead, but my final scheme cannot be destroyed so easily, not after I've already set the gears in motion. MWAHAHAHA!
john i hope you read this. use the retrofit mod you can transfer save games from your normal vanilla game. its bassically a mod that fixes the two handed glitch makes armours work properly and makes danish troops more inresting and better at what they should be good at. (killing armored dudes) each factions gets their troops fixed so they all work as intended. its just vanilla mtw2 without bugs that ruin entire troop types. ( your danish axes in the base game will lose to italian spear miltia most of the time because of the two handed glitch) if you decide this is something your interested in make sure to backup your current save file. ( it says on the forum it also adds kingdom units into your game but thats an extra mod you have to download so thats opional and id reccomend not doing it because it would break up game flow)
i would call it more of a glitch fix i mean the gameplay feels the same and john thinks two handers are the best unit he can get but we both know that in the base game thats sadly not true so it would actually make the game work as he thinks it does and should.
NewBenCity next thing you know, a bunch of heavily armored Calvary rush through France from Northern Europe, takes Paris, France surrenders, France gets ripped in half, one half belonging to the naz-I mean Danish and the other a puppet state.
Notice Spain has avoided doing anything, similar to WW2 where Spain just offered bases to whoever they thought was winning. Of course they didn't do it for free, in exchange the other countries were to allow a fascist dictator to rule there, which they did. And judging by my rule I'd say that's about right here too.
Day ??? White men in red, wielding Axes charged into the camp. Everyone... Everyone's dead Diary. My Love, My friends... And even Dave. They were all being cut down and I ran. The Days have all started to blend together, with survival and avoiding all these warring factions being the only things I can manage. I'm not sure how long I can last like this. Jaguar Claw
Jaguar-Claw the Aztec Explorer how do you Aztecs have ships capable of long range travel before the Europeans?! Or did you just travel along the very northern Atlantic like a sensible person?
We landed in a lot of Cold Places, We Made a lot of Blood Sacrifices, and We had a Lot of Luck. We.. Now I, I guess, were initially sent out with a lot of other ships to find new lands for us to get slaves from. As far as I know, My crew was the one that got the farthest and lived.
Jaguar-Claw, I want to make a deal. If you become my champion, I shall allow you to make all the sacrifices you want in the prescribed ritual; tighten a garrote around their neck, cut open their windpipe, and before they die, smash their skull with a club. What I ask of you is to purge Britain of these German Outlanders called Anglo-Saxons, for they shall seek the enslavement of the world, destroy Denmark, for they seek that same goal right now, and sacrifice every Italian alive to me because they ended the worship of my beloved cousins. Do this for me, and spread my teachings, and Tenochtitlan shall rule over all the New World with Tara as its twin the the Old. Do you vow, on you eternal soul, to do this for me?
*Is Half Starved, Half Mad, Nearing Dehydration, and can barely Manage a Whisper* ....change the bit about fucking tenochtitlan getting any say in the world, and i shall *Doubles over for a fit of Coughing* ...I shall do as you ask. my gods and my people have abandoned me in this land, and these daneesh killed the one woman i've cared about. i will do all i can to end these peoples, and you can have whatever kingdom you belonged to rise in power. i vow on my eternal soul to serve you, my glowing lady...
Deal! Everything I asked, except Tenochtitlan burns to the ground! Let's get vengeance for every Celt and bring all the world under the High Kingdom of Éire
I feel like every episode has basically been Jon saying I want to go with the empire buuuut I'm at war with everyone else so probably not but maybe someday *cue Disney style song about destroying the empire*
i like it when jon says king when referring to the enemy leader, it sounds like he's comparing the battle to a game of chess. which, as they're both strategy games , makes sense. never change jon
Due to the constant victories that Jon has been getting, some of things Jon has been worried about have seemed like overreactions. Not very tense when battles constantly seem one sided in favor of Jon. It seems weird but I think the loss of Sven was for the better in regards to how entertaining this series is. If Jon actually loses territory, I think the revenge story will be a highlight for this series.
Yeah, I definitely don't want Jon to throw a fight, he should play to win. I just feel that his method of making this series more entertaining through giving character to the generals would be bolstered if the enemies could actually succeed in some of their threats. Just as an example, one of the most memorable moments in TW:Rome series was the loss surrounding Nero(Decimus). Had that succeeded, it would have been just another battle.
I think, while it would seem less relevant the battle would've been extraordinary, because it WAS a revenge story. Had that succeeded it would've really cemented the "Captain Nero rides again." theme.
Jashanjeet Singh Jhajj Perfect! Do you pledge yourself to the cause of the Old Gods of Ireland, Mann, and (in some cases) of Wales, Cornwall, Gaul, other miscellaneous Celtic Cultures, and to bring justice to those who destroyed our beloved people's? Do you vow to uphold the ritual sacrifice of prisoners (including, in this case, entire cultures and ethnic groups) to the gods? And do you vow to always honor all the gods and your forebears?
Denmark: My allies keep backstabbing me... *looks suspiciously at Venice and the Pope, who is of Danish descent but still threatens and limits the Danish king*
Refreshing to see a letsplay series where the tuber is significantly worse at the game than me. Constantly broke from having to guard multiple vastly overstretched frontiers.
I have returned from holiday and caught up on the series using airport wi-fi. I am amazed more factions haven't turned on you, Attila would recoil at your wanton bloodlust. Also, the doom peasants did good.
I think everyones attacking you because you are the best in almost everything. Best Military, most territory, best Eco, besides the Mongol Eco. So, the whole world realizes how threatening you are. Or, y'know, Admiral Jon spent a lot of his down time running around slagging off all the other faction leaders. And, y'know, word gets around.
The only reason your cross bows arnt listening is due to them being in the middle of shooting or reloading. the animation has to end first. that why some run when you say but other dont
I missed a few parts, last time I tuned in the English were friends and Russia was still Russia and not part of *GLORIOUS* Denmark. I'm going to need to do some catch up...
The weirdest thing happened after I bought medieval and started playing. The huns came into the world, sacked Baghdad, went towards antioch, sacked what was inbetween that and baghad and settled there right away.
51:35 -- Jon doesn't see this but... Rest In Peace, Admiral Jon.
Mr Numbers thank you
we hardly knew him.
Mistah Susan that's not true. You know my humor, my chiseled jaw, my kind personality
The Ghost of Admiral Jon and your renown as the secret lover of most princesses.
Thx for marking this, I been rewatching to figure out what happened
Glad it's open season on Poland, the generals up north were getting a bit rusty so some _polish_ couldn't hurt
With his efforts to improve relations with England, Jon gave them quite a bit of money. I would guess Jon just financed the army that attacked him.
The English have besieged Bruges.
Oh, the _Iron_-y.
Tiberius Brutus I Caent believe it.
I know this joke stopped being funny 10 parts ago but shut up.
God save our gracious Queen. Long live our noble Queen God save the Queen Send her victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the Queen O Lord our God arise Scatter her enemies And make them fall Confound their politics Frustrate their knavish tricks On Thee our hopes we fix God save us all Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour Long may she reign May she defend our laws And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen Not in this land alone But be God's mercies known From shore to shore Lord make the nations see That men should brothers be And form one family The wide world over From every latent foe From the assassins blow God save the Queen O'er her thine arm extend For Britain's sake defend Our mother, prince, and friend God save the Queen Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring May he sedition hush And like a torrent rush Rebellious Scots to crush God save the King
I like that English family member in Nottingham named Hugh. No title, no last name, not even a suffix like "the Mad" or "the Cruel". Just... Hugh.
Mungus
suborbitalprocess There was also a 9-star general called Davy, who Jon talked to with a diplomat two turns in a row, the second turn he had become Prince Davy.
suborbitalprocess i live in Nottingham, and yeah. Its a very "Hugh" kind of place. The names accurate
Probably the sherrif or something.
So the diplomat was talking with Davy, who's still in the navy (and probably will be for life).
'Probably got enough wars going at the moment'
Jon, are you okay!?
It ANGERS me that France continues to resist us
Admiral Jon ahhhh here you are.
2 MATN Points
Many A True Nerd hell yeah
Admiral Jon England is my city
Jon didn't even notice when you died
If an Islamic faction captured Moss Cow, would it become Mosque Ow?
VampireofEmotion aaaaaaaaaay lmaaaaaao
Then a couple turns later a bunch of angry crusaders with pitchforks come to kick them out and rename it Moskau
Yes
51:25 NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT ADMIRAL JON!
Toby Warren noooooooo
R.I.P. Jon. Your people will always remember you for you were the Danish boat to fight.
The Ghost of Admiral Jon Welcome to the party Admiral
Toby Warren and he just skims over it like it never even happened
Wtf Jon. RIP in peace bby admiral
Wait... if he's an admiral, and dies is that a burial at sea or do they do a Viking funeral?
I wonder how many nations will die when Jon gets his hands on gun powder and cannons
You're assuming they aren't dead already
There'll be no-one left by that point...
but then you remeber vikings dont have muskets and you start crying
Kurt imagine if the Vikings in our timeline managed to survive to the Gunpowder age. Imagine the devastating effect that would have
Amerrack Hunter Altough i do like the vikings im going to pop your bubble here. The vikings were mostly pagan. With big boi hre being christian if they had survived they wouldve become lithuania 2.0. (Teutonic order. You know the extermination of an entire belief) on top of the fact that a viking state was very fragmentend in comparison to a catholic one the viking country wouldve probably eventually destroyed itslef if its not annexed by other countries first.so vikings with guns is RIP vikings .sorry dude.
Normal person upon seeing that they're at war with 6 separate empires at once: "Oh crap. Well, looks like I'll have to negotiage a few ceasefires."
Jon upon seeing that he's at war with 6 separate empires at once: "Oh crap. Well, looks like I'll have to commit a few genocides."
51:23 Rest in peace admiral Jon
I'm still disappointed that Antioch cannot create holy hand grenade units
Jon would have counted to 2,4 or 5.
*sees video come up on subscription feed*
*reads title*
"Oh Jon, not again..."
that was my exact reaction as well
"The long boats get brought out of retirement"
Ah, that made me laugh
Rest in peace Admiral Jon
51:30
Jon's "be at war with everyone at all times" strategy might have a few flaws.
Admiral Jon died and you didn't even acknowledge it! RIP Admiral Jon...
Jon: England has a perfect opportunity to backstab France
England: *attacks Jon instead*
48:20 "there are the screams of sphen of Milton Keynes" John did you intent for that to rhyme?

your comment is so long that for some reason the mobile YT app can't compress it and give the "read more" option.

Last time I was this early, everyone was still alive in Until Dawn.
I regret only one death. And it's Wolfie's.
Wolfie loved you even after smashing him in the face.

Less so than Wolfie.
Well, dogs die. It's what they do.

How do you press a letter..?

And Admiral Jon died too!!

Jon, you have impeccable timing! I just finished reading "The Heritage of Arn" by Jan Guillou and I feel like playing a game like this! But I'm on vacation and don't have my laptop with me, so getting more of his series is just what I need!
"Naff off" is a very satisfying phrase. Thanks for introducing me to it.

Good Jon: You mean you'll make peace with them?

"I could just sweep in by sea..." Yes Jon, sweep in by sea against the strongest naval power in the game!
50:00 this is why i use my assassins to keep inquisitors from becoming a problem
51:27 And so ended the life of Admiral Jon, died of natural cause in the year of our lord....
I don't know what the year is
This episode might be teariffic.
Jon Insults Portuguese and Spanish for invading random Territores far away while he owns most of Russia and The middle East
I think jons at war with everyone in europe
Not Venice. I love Venice. Venice and I will never go to war.
Many A True Nerd yeah you loved england too remember?
Based on this statement i guess next part you're going to war with venice :D
Spain and portugal are very much part of europe
Lies TJMiton, lies. As ex-king of Spain I can confirm we're Australia.
If you invade England successfully, you need to change all the settlement names back to their old Viking ones i.e York -> Jorvik :D
Rest in peace Sweyn. You will be missed.

Queen Urraca I of Toledo I hate you
It's mutual.
Queen Urraca I, you never pledged your soul to me, and thus I couldn't reincarnate you. I assume you disagree with mass genocide and human sacrifice?
No, I'm all for that. I just don't trust people who buy and sell souls. They rarely help others...
Sorry, that's just how we make vows and promises in the Sidhe Mountains, sort of like "I swear on my mother's grave..."

Kurt Jon doesn't like using overhaul mods because he seems to hold the delusion that modern can't balance games better than actual game devs.
i would call it more of a glitch fix i mean the gameplay feels the same and john thinks two handers are the best unit he can get but we both know that in the base game thats sadly not true so it would actually make the game work as he thinks it does and should.
Please name London Milton Keynes when you take it anyway
Isn't randomly and arbitrarily changing the names of places the sign of a ruthless and slightly unhinged despot?
Has anyone else noticed that Jon's empire is becoming worryingly similar to Nazi Germany?
LEAVE ENGLAND ALONE!
NewBenCity next thing you know, a bunch of heavily armored Calvary rush through France from Northern Europe, takes Paris, France surrenders, France gets ripped in half, one half belonging to the naz-I mean Danish and the other a puppet state.
Notice Spain has avoided doing anything, similar to WW2 where Spain just offered bases to whoever they thought was winning. Of course they didn't do it for free, in exchange the other countries were to allow a fascist dictator to rule there, which they did. And judging by my rule I'd say that's about right here too.
WHAT THE HELL MORE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT ADMIRAL JONS DEATH THAN MINE
Day ??? White men in red, wielding Axes charged into the camp. Everyone... Everyone's dead Diary. My Love, My friends... And even Dave. They were all being cut down and I ran. The Days have all started to blend together, with survival and avoiding all these warring factions being the only things I can manage. I'm not sure how long I can last like this.
Jaguar Claw
Jaguar-Claw the Aztec Explorer how do you Aztecs have ships capable of long range travel before the Europeans?! Or did you just travel along the very northern Atlantic like a sensible person?
We landed in a lot of Cold Places, We Made a lot of Blood Sacrifices, and We had a Lot of Luck. We.. Now I, I guess, were initially sent out with a lot of other ships to find new lands for us to get slaves from. As far as I know, My crew was the one that got the farthest and lived.
Jaguar-Claw, I want to make a deal. If you become my champion, I shall allow you to make all the sacrifices you want in the prescribed ritual; tighten a garrote around their neck, cut open their windpipe, and before they die, smash their skull with a club. What I ask of you is to purge Britain of these German Outlanders called Anglo-Saxons, for they shall seek the enslavement of the world, destroy Denmark, for they seek that same goal right now, and sacrifice every Italian alive to me because they ended the worship of my beloved cousins. Do this for me, and spread my teachings, and Tenochtitlan shall rule over all the New World with Tara as its twin the the Old. Do you vow, on you eternal soul, to do this for me?
*Is Half Starved, Half Mad, Nearing Dehydration, and can barely Manage a Whisper* ....change the bit about fucking tenochtitlan getting any say in the world, and i shall *Doubles over for a fit of Coughing* ...I shall do as you ask. my gods and my people have abandoned me in this land, and these daneesh killed the one woman i've cared about. i will do all i can to end these peoples, and you can have whatever kingdom you belonged to rise in power. i vow on my eternal soul to serve you, my glowing lady...
Deal! Everything I asked, except Tenochtitlan burns to the ground! Let's get vengeance for every Celt and bring all the world under the High Kingdom of Éire
I feel like every episode has basically been Jon saying I want to go with the empire buuuut I'm at war with everyone else so probably not but maybe someday *cue Disney style song about destroying the empire*
i like it when jon says king when referring to the enemy leader, it sounds like he's comparing the battle to a game of chess. which, as they're both strategy games , makes sense. never change jon
RIP Sweyn of Milton Keynes. Ironically enough, he never made it to Milton Keynes.
Do another medieval 2 series it is all I watch on your channel
Jon, Admiral Jon died.
Yay, more Many A True Nord :)
Inquisitor is such a cool word.
Rest in peace admiral Jon, oh great admiral.
I love how Jon failed to notice that Admiral Jon died.
When will the Black Death and gunpowder units get introduced?
I wonder if an inquisitor can be assassinated? specially that one who killed sweyn
Oh no, Admiral Jon died!
Thanks for the video! And for not going to war against the Imperials at that point in time.
Due to the constant victories that Jon has been getting, some of things Jon has been worried about have seemed like overreactions. Not very tense when battles constantly seem one sided in favor of Jon. It seems weird but I think the loss of Sven was for the better in regards to how entertaining this series is. If Jon actually loses territory, I think the revenge story will be a highlight for this series.
dragmire3D jons just 2 gud man
Yeah, I definitely don't want Jon to throw a fight, he should play to win. I just feel that his method of making this series more entertaining through giving character to the generals would be bolstered if the enemies could actually succeed in some of their threats.
Just as an example, one of the most memorable moments in TW:Rome series was the loss surrounding Nero(Decimus). Had that succeeded, it would have been just another battle.
I think, while it would seem less relevant the battle would've been extraordinary, because it WAS a revenge story. Had that succeeded it would've really cemented the "Captain Nero rides again." theme.
Be careful not to kill the Polish King too early or the Polish will be reconciled.
Poor Admiral Jon. His service will be remembered.
Watching Jon's old decisions come back again to hurt him and watching him again scurrying around trying to fix it...
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Skyler Miller I ALWAYS EXPECT IT
Skyler Miller I sure didn't
@33:20 was that... Envelopment, from behind?
Jon! You didn't notice your admiral doppelgänger died of old age! Perception decreased by 2...
You know. Life as an Android gets Really, Really... Realllllly..... Dull.
I can offer some _entertainment._ How do you feel about genocide?
Eriu, Sister of Banba and Fodla really good
Eriu, Sister of Banba and Fodla sure I love murder
Jashanjeet Singh Jhajj
Perfect! Do you pledge yourself to the cause of the Old Gods of Ireland, Mann, and (in some cases) of Wales, Cornwall, Gaul, other miscellaneous Celtic Cultures, and to bring justice to those who destroyed our beloved people's? Do you vow to uphold the ritual sacrifice of prisoners (including, in this case, entire cultures and ethnic groups) to the gods? And do you vow to always honor all the gods and your forebears?
Eriu, Sister of Banba and Fodla I do
great video Jon
So how long until Jon decides to declare war on everyone?
Denmark: My allies keep backstabbing me...
*looks suspiciously at Venice and the Pope, who is of Danish descent but still threatens and limits the Danish king*
Boleslaw the merciless. Otherwise known as the ancient ancestor of Evil Jon.
Gimme All The Cake Makes sense
Nordby --> nord = north, by = city, he's Corthcity.
turn 77 - still using scouts, you got to be kidding me. Get a fortress mate.
"I don't think I have mentioned that before" about something he has mentioned many times.
It makes me weep to see an empty castle go untaken. That's just free money, plus the Pope would tell you and the Imperials to lay off a turn later.
No, Jon. While you are evil Jon on an attempted 'kill everything' run, hold off on the empire.
Admiral Jon, noooo!
Refreshing to see a letsplay series where the tuber is significantly worse at the game than me.
Constantly broke from having to guard multiple vastly overstretched frontiers.
Rip Admiral Jon
Jon you sound like Hitler
"I wanted to be friends with England so so much. But if this is what they want..."
Robert Jolley to be fair his favorite tactic is to blitz multiple bases in a single turn
kento yamashita I think you're thinking of legendoftotalwar not Jon
I have returned from holiday and caught up on the series using airport wi-fi. I am amazed more factions haven't turned on you, Attila would recoil at your wanton bloodlust. Also, the doom peasants did good.
A diplomat, a spy, and an assassin walk into London...
I wonder when Jon will realize, that Crimea is a separate province owned by Poland.
I think after what happened to Sweyn of Milton Keynes you need to teach the Pope a lesson...
I think everyones attacking you because you are the best in almost everything. Best Military, most territory, best Eco, besides the Mongol Eco. So, the whole world realizes how threatening you are.
Or, y'know, Admiral Jon spent a lot of his down time running around slagging off all the other faction leaders. And, y'know, word gets around.
Real missed opportunity that Jon didn't rename Milan to 'My-land'.
JON YOU MISSED THAT ADMIRAL JON DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES
at this point I'd say "this is the time to start a war". Free castle, take it, learn to garrison.
have you ever considered playing mount and blade warbad?
The only reason your cross bows arnt listening is due to them being in the middle of shooting or reloading. the animation has to end first. that why some run when you say but other dont
I missed a few parts, last time I tuned in the English were friends and Russia was still Russia and not part of *GLORIOUS* Denmark. I'm going to need to do some catch up...
Didn't even notice Admiral Jon died.
The weirdest thing happened after I bought medieval and started playing. The huns came into the world, sacked Baghdad, went towards antioch, sacked what was inbetween that and baghad and settled there right away.
Serge Blok that is weird, there are no Huns in medieval 2
Sorry, I meant the mongols. My bad.
man it sucks when you see the newest comment was from 1 month ago
cubestar master I feel your your pain
"England hate me for no reason" You destroyed their allies
