*Can we hit 2,000 likes for an Early Hour and a Half Special at part 5? Feel Free To Leave A Like If You're Enjoying The Series! Part 2 will be Out Tuesday 12th March!*
Can you do a Russian campaign like Prussia
march 12th? That's my birthday. Man I get a lionheart video for my 18th bday, cheers!
@Lionheartx10 On the note of doing a revolution to become a monarchy you need the richest class (as a republic that would be the middle class) taxed to max and you need them to rebel in your capital. Your capital is Philadelphia in the Grand Campaign not Boston, FYI.
Since you want the rebels to only spawn in your capital, exempt taxes on every city except your capital and make sure you have no garrison army in your capital then choose to side with the revolution. It will take three turns for the revolution to start.
Once you do, attack the capital immediately and don't worry about the garrison force in the capital since it is only going to be firelock armed citizenry. You can auto resolve the battle or fight it yourself however you. After you take the capital you will win the revolution and all of the territory and any army you did have prior to the revolution will return to you. Plus you still keep the revolution army so that's basically a free army right there.
There is a annoying little bug though after you win the revolution that you can't control any of your armies except the revolution army so it's best that you weren't are war with anyone before the revolution. The bug immediately goes away after the end of the turn. Also it is best you do it very early in the game especially if you start at peace because mostly you won't have any conflict prior and if it is something you really want to do.
@@MChief123 can you do that in DM napoleon? I tried to that with the kingdom of sardinia but the rebels simply took my capital and I lost the region
@@gioojisba2758 Yes you can and what happened to you wasn't a revolution it was a regular rebellion which you can't play as. To make a revolution make the population in your capital rebel not in any other city that's why I said if you want that to happen exempt taxes on all your other cities except your capital.
Hi Lionheart, I did a USA playthrough a few years ago and I remember encountering a slight problem with the philosophy tech tree. Your capital city/state is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and unfortunately you don't have a university built in Pennsylvania but you do in Boston, Massachusetts. In order the access the 4th tier of philosophy tech you need to build a modern university which can only be done in your capital state, not at New Haven. You'll have to get rid of a building in Pennsylvania and build a new educational building there.
Please try and upvote this so he sees it as soon as possible. It won't be a problem now but in later turns it might delay the campaign. Been a fan of yours since Rome 2 and I hope this helps one of the best youtubers around!!
I did one last month. Wish I had seen this comment. Had to take Portugal in the year 1825 before I got a modern university. Thought US was bugged.
No he doesn't. You can just wait until you get in new Town in your Capital Province and turn that to a Classical University. I did, and it worked fine.
Or, hear me out, you invade a country that has the 4th tier building like me lmao
Oh my gosh yes. I played as the US and when I tried building it I was so confused
In empire total war and Napoleon total war once you have a tech building there is no reason to ever demolish it unless you have exceeded the cap. he can just simply build the other university and keep his current one.
Lionheart: "Some of their units turned into cannons...that's never happened before!"
American: (Pulls a cannon out of a barn) That's just how we roll.
Lmao
Well transformers did arrive in earth early but damn
This is ‘merics
@Gr8sc0tt von steuben taught us that trick
When in the States on holiday I couldn't resist checking out a copy of "Guns'n'Ammo" magazine.
Yup. You could buy a cannon.
Just when im done playing total war games. Then I watch one of your videos and I reinstall and then find myself up at 3am saying just one more turn.
I also started and played an USA campaign again last week when watching his Road to Indepence Playthrough. Till the early hours. Great Game. Great Nation.
Hey jimmy i'm new to total war. I play age of empires. I am now gonna buy total war on steam.
Which one should i buy. Which totla war is the best
@@JoeBrown what time period do you like Roman, medieval knights, or the gun powder age

If you're going after 40 territories go after Afghanistan and capture it. War On Terror 2 : Prequel Boogaloo.
Afghan Wars: The Phantom Menace
Jesus... that's bloody brilliant!
Terror wars the prequel
It's not too far off history, even. Troubles and foreign interference in Afghanistan started in 1840s when Brits started arming local militias and supporting local warlords to opposte the Russians because the Russians were conquering Central Asia and getting uncomfortably close to British India.
Brah leave the graveyard of empires alone
When I saw the tumbnail I swear I heard soldier from tf2 shout: USA! USA! USA! in the distance. And maybe even an eagle screech.
I think you missed the jets flying overhead. I heard 'em. 🇺🇸🦅
SCREAMING EAGLES
@@muhammadtayyab8874 well i did but thats just because they were flying over my house
The last time I played the US campaign, I conquered every single region in the America Theater. As well as Paris, Madrid, all of Italy, North Africa, and got all the way to Istanbul before I was really stopped. It was a lot of back and forth on who held the city. By that point, I think it was 1848 and the only countries left was England, France (on one of the small islands), Prussia, Russia, and the Ottomans. By that point, either my computer or the game couldn't handle it anymore. The turns for each nations were like 10 minutes long. It was glorious.
The very reason I have never completed a single TW campaign even tho I have 1000+ hours in the game.
I always put it on World Domination, then as things go on and on, the turns take longer and longer to end untill I get bored of the waits and start another one lol.
Infantry turning into demi-cannons? Your fairy godmother is not messing around.
My fav units in ETW would prob be the Polish-Lithuanian winged hussars. If you zoom in, just look at those details... still wearing plate armour, having cool helmets, those wings... they still have that classic look, why all the other units starts to look 'modern'... I do love my anachronisms.
Too bad they're p*lish
@@Kankersteen yeah but he asked our fav unit in ETW. Not the fav american unit.
It's just that I don't like the p*lish
@@Kankersteen Cool.
(most polish name ever) I really like the winged hussars. ;P polish myself btw
@lionheartx10 just a tip... don't repair the indian settlements. Demolish them and you can then build your builds instead. It's the same for most of the buildings in the provinces as well
I kept some of the Indian buildings for the early game because some have nice bonus to happiness and does research. Would check before and decide what you want there first.
Displacing the natives for the resources and land, fun and historical

@@Zhicano What?
Jesus, man. I watched you so much back in 2014, when I was still a kid. I remember adding you on Steam and asking you to find a video that I couldn't find myself, haha. And here you are, still kicking. Got a really big nostalgia trip, thanks.
Just a funny thing I noticed in the video Lionheart. At 7:05 in the video in the National Summary screen for the President it shows a picture of George Washington but the name it lists is Elias Boudinot. While this might look like a mistake on CA's part it actually isn't. Elias Boudinot was the President of the Continental Congress in late 1783 when the campaign starts. Old Georgie boy wasn't President till 1789.
Nice to know
America's Eyes Part 1:
Disclaimer: As a result of the end date of Road to Independence and the Grand Campaign start date being years different, the series America’s Eyes has started again. Some characters have and will reappear and the story may seem similar in parts but it will have different aspects to it.
“The Iroquois are the first to be freed or that is what Congress wishes to happen. They have realised peace with Britain can only last so long but it leaves the rest of America ours for the taking. As always the army needs intelligence and we proved this in our fight against the Redcoats.” Major Blackwood said. “Your job gentlemen is to head out and find some men of Iroquois who are willing to join the American cause. You have two weeks before the army marches.”
The band of five men, all soldiers but out of uniform, stood up and saluted before heading out. The men headed straight to the streets. “Sergeant where to first.” one man asked.
“We search the taverns here first in case there are only traders here. We hire them and get the information we need Matthew.”
“But what if there are no natives there sir?” Matthew asked slightly nervously.
“I forgot it was your first time. You know the basics of what we do. We get the information, one way or the other. We would all prefer to have men who willing get us information, makes them useful later on. But if needed then we extract men and get the information that way.”
Matthew swallowed, “Extract, you mean torture?”
“Soldier if you are not up to this leave now. I will not tolerate any weakness in our team. You understand. The major gets results and we help to provide them. It said that Major Blackwood effectively won the war for us so buck up your ideas or get out.”
“I’m in sir. Matthew you are with me. Smith and Horn you two take the east of the town. Hue take the southern end. Go and find some Iroquois.”
~~
The day had grown late and none of the Sergeant’s men had had any luck finding any traders anywhere in the city. They had gathered to discuss options. “Horn and Smith go and make sure our supplies are in order, I want to leave at dawn tomorrow. Hue make sure our horses are ready and stable lads know we are leaving at dawn, I will not be late because of some foolish child. Matthew and I…”
“Sir, keep talking but slowly look to that alley over my shoulder. There is someone watching.” Matthew said very quietly.
The Sergeant looked briefly and saw the silhouette of a man. “You do have uses boy. Hue, Horn slowly peel as if you have a job to do and loop around behind this man.” The two men obeyed and slowly moved off. A few minutes later, the remaining men heard a scuffle and watched as their comrades dragged out a native from the alley.
“All this searching and we finally find one.” Smith spat.
“On your knees.” The sergeant ordered. The native man was slow to respond was forced down by Hue and Horn. “When I give an order, you follow. You understand me sonny.” The native man nodded. “Why are you watching us?”
“I heard rumours men were searching for my people. Must had fled the city already but I stayed and watched.” the man replied in fluent English.
“Why?”
“My family was exiled many years ago, when I was a young boy. We lived under the British and now the Americans. The Iroquois nation is no home to me.”
The band of men came together and held a hushed conversation. “Well sonny,” the Sergeant said, “looks like it is your lucky day. You are coming with us to see our officer. Looks like you are going home though sonny.”
Interesting
@@teleostsun23couldn't have said it better myself
As an American, I must object to becoming a monarchy :P
That said, this is a video game so if you REALLY must, go for it XD
Murica must be a Republic!
He should do a vote on what kind of government he should be.
But isn't making the US into a monarchy exactly what you'd expect a British infiltrator like Lionheart to do!!?!?
WE ARE A DEMOCRACY except for the political people who want to go socialist (which is a terrible idea just look at Venezuela)
No, don't do it
Odd how John Sullivan is in the South, while Nathaniel Greene and Anthony Wayne are both stationed in the North, when after the War, Greene and Wayne moved to Georgia, and Sullivan stayed in his native New England.
I enjoyed playing on after winning the US main campaign (I understand this is a mod with USA in GC). The economy you can get rolling with the USA is just incredible... my peak was 110k per turn and I was just pumping out navies and armies lol
Stay a republic! No monarchy!
Favorite unit: USS Constitution, it has a nice collection of stats and is more than a match for everything less than a 3rd rate and can escape most if needed. If no Constitution, 24 pounder frigates are great, some think razees are the same but they are not, 24s are just an amazing general naval unit a great replacement for 5th and even 4th rates.
The term is admiral which is the general of the sea
@@starsaber2002Respectfully....what?
The only ways to grow your cities is to lower tax (note, you don't need to full-on exempt, just bring the tax rate lower than medium) , research growth-related technology or build farms, fisheries etc.
It really annoyed me that he overlooked building the peasant farm in Pennsylvania for so many turns while complaining about growth.
The Black Watch have become my favourite unit from the British faction in Darthmod. I had them in an army I used to garrison a fort in India and they held off 4 separate waves of double chevron swordsmen!
That intro such a thing of beauty love it lionheart😊 also my favorite unit would have too be dragoons cause because of in a online battle I had been having my backside handed too me and was down to just three line infantry and two dragoon units. The enemy had a total of 8 mostly light infantry and two grenadiers I had my line infantry hugging a ridge to fire on down too them to get their attention as my dragoons was hidden the whole fight and tbh I had forgotten about them. As the enemy launched its grenadiers into my line infantry my dragoons burst through the woods to clean up the light infantry and slam into the grenadiers to save my line troops with only 82 and 140 left of the two that remained. Was the ulitmate clench moment I have never done in any total war
I love the howitzers from Empire, but specifically the percussion shells. So satisfying to watch one of those shells land in a clump of men and kill dozens at a time!
To get a monarchy you need a revolution in the middle class, this will make it a constitutional monarchy, to go absolute monarchy you have ro make the aristocracy riot.
I love playing USA, keep in mind your capital region is Pennsylvania and the capital is Philadelphia. Thus your tech building should be here to reach level 4 as well as to gain Independent hall in the capital.
Edit Also almost all your regions should have military government buildings to unlock special heavy infantry, Calvary and light infantry units.
“This first battle we’ll probably completely massacre the iroquai” huh, this is entertaining AND historically accurate! Love it 😂😂😂
@Lionheartx10 I play base darthmod as well and have the same problem with "ghost upgrades." It goes the whole campaign UNLESS you rename units. It seems to stop the upgrades. Also unique units (like pulaski's legion) aren't affected
When it happens to me I just save and load the game again, usually stops it
@@gak9319 Trader: "stop free upgrades, are you insane?"
Lionheart: "But people turning into cannons is weird."
Trader "Who cares, you could not sell people because of those stupid anti-slave laws, but cannons are fine."
No to the monarchy! Keep the USA as a republic.
You can use anything on trade nodes with Darthmod. Brigs and sloops are the most profitable as larger ships do not get you any extra resources.
Winged Hussars from Poland-Lithuania
Wish i could hit like multiple times
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDE!
Poland is easily one of the most underrated nations because of their position and the number of strong enemies you have early game. The Winged Hussars change all of that
Don't make the good old U.S. a monarchy. We just got our independence. No tyranny!
My though exactly! Just pretend that in the alternative universe George Washington declared a crusade against monarchy s or something
Yes 100% correct
Captain Cookie you can replace your ministers as monarchy unless high ranked ministers die or gain some negative trait, as republic every 8 turn your ministers replaced or sometimes re-elected this is affect on units upkeep and repression etc but I personally prefer republic first of gameplay and build 3-4collages and after complete tech tree and prefer absolute monarchy
Not all Kings were and are tyrans
Was peacefully watching your gameplay, while disposing troops in the first battle, my gf came closer and started starring at the screen and asked "uuh, what are the little men doing?" and I told her they were ready to massacre and shoot and kill each other with rifles and bayonets... And she got sad and said she'll never ask me again 😅 it was a great battle by the way, Lion! 👍
You just won the #BrutallyHonestBoyfriend award XD
I don't know if someone already answered your question. But you need to only max the tax of the highest class to get to Monarchy and I believe which kind of Monarchy you get is random. (Constitutional or Absolute) And only in your Capital Province. So safest and easiest way is to make sure they are no units in your capital or near your capital by disbanding them or sending them far away, Exempt all regions except your Capital from Tax put the Tax from the Highest Class (in your case the middle class) to max and wait three turns, side with the rebels and take your capital. If you btw want the other kind of Monarchy the exact same thing has to be done again and if you wanna go back to a Republic you have to do the same thing but only then for the lowest Class.
It's not random at all actually. If the upper class revolts in a Republic, they'll form a Constitutional Monarchy. If they revolt again in the Constitutional Monarchy, they'll "upgrade" it to an Absolute one.
@@Wolf6119 I guess you're right, I never thought about it. But it also makes sense. Thanks for the info! :)
Favourite empire total war unit hands down have to be the British elite riflemen the greencoats I think their called all thanks to the amazing novel series Richard Sharpe by Bernard Cornwell
Beskar 66 that is an amazing series indeed!
Freedom time is best time.
Something to consider: build up the Navy to be able to protect the shipping lanes before entering into a war with England. That way you would be in a great place to invade England, as well as possibly doing more invasions if necessary
Favorite unit has to be the U.S. Legion. Fascinating unit historically: the Army America has today traces it lineage directly back to that formation.
Awesome seeing you play this game. This was the first game I bought on steam. This just pulled me up! Thanks man.
Definitely should keep us a republic, it'd be pretty ironic if we separated from the british manorchy just to flip! Lol
*Here Follows the account of Johnathan Harding, 9th Regiment of Foot*
We'd been told before the battle that the savage Iroquois would quickly retreat when confronted with an organized, and well armed, opponent. When the battle began it seemed that these rumors were true. While they fought with bravery, their attempts at breaking our line were disorganized and quickly repelled thanks to the harassing of our cavalry as well as our cannon's unrelenting grapeshot. Hundreds of their warriors charged us, only to turn and run after a few volleys. When word spread that their commander, their chief, had fallen in battle we had assumed they would break and run, opting to survive to fight another day to avenge their comrades rather than be cut down in what was surely a battle that had been lost.
Instead the loss of their commander seemed to steel them against our fire. Hundreds of warriors charged over the hill towards us as well as the 7th. They closed in on us as we reloaded, the first rank only managing to finish and blindly fire in a last ditch attempt to rebuff their assault. The warriors charged over our fortifications, letting out a chorus of battle cries that seemed to shake the Earth and drown out the roar of the cannons. They surged over the first and second ranks like a wave wielding their tomahawks and war clubs. We in the third rank had just a moment to brace ourselves before the enemy met us in melee.
It quickly became clear that we had grossly underestimated the fighting prowess and the fighting spirit of our foe.
No matter how many we managed to dispatch it seemed three more came to take their place. I managed to quickly dispatch one of their warriors with my bayonet, skewering him through the gut, only to have my weapon torn away as another immediately lunged at me to avenge his fallen comrade. I barely managed to draw my knife from by belt as a meager means of defense, desperately dodging my foe's rapid advance. I stumbled backwards, the warrior swinging with his closed fist and striking me in the chin, and I fell to the ground.
Time slowed to a crawl as the Iroquois warrior prepared his final strike, raising his tomahawk to deliver the killing blow. Around me I saw my comrades begin to waver as the enemy continued to push us back. For a moment despair began to creep in as I accepted my death. I closed my eyes, muttering a brief last second prayer of absolution to prepare myself for heaven's embrace, however the final blow didn't come. I looked up as a trumpet rang out and tide of horses, the 2nd Lancers of Pulaski's legion, bound over the trenches into the backs of our foes. My opponent turned to face the oncoming tide just as a lance struck him in the chest. The remnants of our foe broke and ran at the arrival of Pulaski's legion, and the battle quickly came to an end.
We were never told the exact number of men we lost that day, though word quickly spread around camp that we'd dispatched over a thousand of Iroquois. There are some who say that our enemy would quickly capitulate as the war continued on, that their warriors lacked the fighting spirit to continuously fight us in the field of battle. I don't dare make assumptions about how long, or how bloody, this conflict will be. All I know is that the men of the 9th and the 7th line infantry regiments understand the strength and ferocity that our enemy possesses.
Nicely done, do keep this up! Let's think of a name for the 9th Regiment of Foot, so we can track it more easily!
@lionheartx10 Please leave the 9th Regiment of Foot so it can gain a proper name.
For those who are wondering though the 9th lost a total of 184 men. They gained a lot of experience though up to 4 stripes!
95th rifles, because there's 40 shillings on the drum.
Favorite Unit is 1st Maryland Infantry, because it was the unit of my great x 7 grandfather after he deserted from the Hessian forces
Luckily I always love to farm experience on units. I love min/maxing stats. It’s also always a good idea to have guard mode on.
The 1st Maryland is my favorite unit, because I am from there 😃
its also the best infantry unit available to the US in ETW, in my opinion
Nicholas Pniewski Marylanders unite!
@@USMCSOLDJABOY US Marines are OP for the price.
You need the middle class to rebel to go to constitutional monarchy. Don't bother with the lower class, lower class only helps to go to Republic. Easiest way to do it is increase the Taxes for middle class and do it early, as it doesn't take long at all. Do not have a garrison in your capital and destroy the wall if necessary. In your other territories you should exempt them from taxes to avoid problems. I think constitutional monarchy is the best government form in this game, and it helps a lot with unrest as you have no lower class. I recommend doing it soon, best would have been in the first 3 turns.
No, America 🇺🇸 is a democracy and should stay that way! Only a British would think, America: monarchy! Creep.
@@captaincookie2785 I think constitutional monarchy is the best goverment form “IN THIS GAME“ I am not talking about real life.
@Brant Hall Hey, we're not all retarded. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Captain Cookie America is not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. We're trying to keep it that way.
Brant Hall to call the constitution an outdated piece of paper means you could likely never understand what it means to be free. And so I pity you. It is because we do not follow the constitution that we are turning into a joke. Our senators have no respect for due process and share your opinions on the constitution.
I've never seen this channel before but the algorithm works in mysterious ways. So have a sub. Love total war!

You may not see this, but if you do, please understand that I've re-downloaded this game (and the mods you've used) because of your video. Been five years since I've last played, and am happy to be playing this again. Many thanks, good Sir.
Make sure to check that the native city buildings dont convert ppl to another religion
ah yes the most effective battle strategy..... the awkward shuffle
complete dominion of the 'world', bring the Freedom to all
TheWarmaker01 remember, when America conquers a territory, it’s not expansionism it’s liberation
@@jacobropka8065 exactly, dominion by definition only means sovereignty or control, thus bringing the Freedom of Democracy by liberating the people from the yoke of tyrants
One thing people totally miss about early America...the cotton that came from America dressed the world. We took the world who we're mostly living in rags and the same clothes and just plain brown and tan colors to a world where the common man and woman could dress like the courts and royalties.
We think that everyone dressed like the paintings of times prior but that was only of the royalties and courts and not the common peasant. America took the world from rags to riches, literally with the cotton.
I've been waiting on this since the great British campaign🍿🍿
Minutemen gotta be my favorite
America is so ridiculously OP in this game, it’s kind of hilarious. You start the game with literally the largest coastline of any other faction, and therefore have access to an insane amount of trading ports. (Or potential for them)
Build a few of those, and then it’s basically a matter of time before you conquer not just the western theater, but the entire world.
Ahhhhh I have fond memories doing USA world conquest in 2014. Sent a stack of U.S. Marines to conquer Afghanistan and Iraq lol
Make it a monarchy! There’s already an aristocracy
Favourite unit, Britain: 42nd Highlanders (Black Watch)
the best way to have growth is to tax the upper classes at "Tier 2" which helps grow the overall taxes and money gain, and tax the lower classes at the very bottom to grow better..
The minutemen units are really good to have as your frontliners as they have the Platoon fire Tech ability. The only thing you just need to avoid is putting the mimutemen in a prolong, melee combat. Especially with colonial line infantry and grenadiers as they both have high melee stats. Don't forget that the minutemen don't have bayonets.
how ironical you can't be allies with England loved it.
Like the Spartan campaign on rome 2. Can’t be allies with Persia
@@troopers101 historical diplomacy 101
Are you able to take Persia like that without subjugate
@@troopers101 i wouldt dare, perisa is very powerfull i love to have them as allies tho xD
George Washington’s farewell address: beware of Europe and it’s wars nothing good comes from it.
America: pax America today, tomorrow and forever !
I crave for a Empire 2.
Best unit in Empire: Total War?
Pikemen, hands down.
Favorite unit is the Scots Brigade The Black Watch. "A lot can be made of a Scottsman, if you can catch him young."
The end of that first battle was confusing. It was like both sides were like aaaaaaaahhhhh HORSES! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darthmod has been doing that to my Total War Empire as well, changing units randomly.
Favorite unit is a heavily modified Legion of the United states, gave them 400 range, great accuracy, great morale, shoots while hidden etc. 10k cost, 10k upkeep, and a cap of one. Kinda cheating but it's super fun, especially in massive battles
LionHeart to answer your question at 12:00 my favorite unit is the Marines for the US.. mainly for no reason at all i just liked that they were compatible for Naval attacks and were able to fight on Land at almost the same stats I also love their uniforms (I was 11 last time i played this game and had zero strategic or tactics knowledge) my favorite fighting force would be the Long Rifles because of the same reasons you had
37:25 is when I decided to pause the video and buy this game.
destroyed a tree though, wtf, i never knew you could destroy trees in this game
Need to redownload this game had it when I was a noob at total war feel like I’d appreciate it more now.
Favorite unit is probably the Natives with the muskets, they become such a game changer compared to just the archers. They make life so much better.
As an American I would love to see an alternate universe of the US becoming a monarchy! Everyone ends up loving George just a liiiittle too much.. XD
A Monarchy in the USA??? 😯
I refer you to the School House Rock video entitled "No more King's". 😁
(Yes, I know I just revealed my Gen X upbringing. Oh well! 😜)
“People are coming to the castle “. Yes. Ive played SC2. Lol =)
Ah, nothing like charging the enemy in an awkward shuffle!
My favorite unit is The Republican Guard - Faction USA - Very strong elite infantry unit with good accuracy, morale, and melee attack/defense. Cool looking uniforms as well.
MERICA WHOOOOOO BEER GUNS GLORY !!!!
Well well well, wot's going on 'ere. We can't be 'avin no infantry turnin into demi-cannons.
Oi you got a loicense for that canon?
All you need to do to cause a revolution in total war is make a bunch of colleges in you're capital. It will keep you're other regions safe while you're capital burns
32lb howitzers. Quicklime. That is all.
If you want long rifles, get them at Philadelphia. The reason there is a unit in your army is that the US faction in the base game can get long rifles without the need for the rifling tech.
Pennsylvanian long rifle men are amazing
Also I too am an American and I say go for alt history spice it up
one year later and this ill fated campaign make a appearance on my recommended list... 10/10
I don't even play Empire, but its still the best Total War. Because America.
It’s funny how an Englishmen is playing an American campaign
ok, so my favorite is the winged hussars, from Poland-Lithuania. They look so cool and can take on so many more numbers than their own. shame they were limited
I hate youtube how the fuck did it take 11 months for this to show up on my feed o well time to binge
Yay, I've been waiting for RTI so I can have a break from your sparta, rome 2 campaign
It is also hilarious to see units changing
Cool video. Though kinda sneaky adding that 30k gold into treasury after intro cut.
WING HUSSARS from Poland! Cause who doesn’t love them? They are badass looking and the history behind them
You can sell your tech to other nations for a lot of money in the beginning. Even in non-mods I'll start turn one with an extra 10k, which makes a huge difference economically, especially 5-10 turns into the campaign
39:46 Hahahah i feel you bro. Men need more discipline ! i Call for a Decimation on that Regiment
Favorite Unit: Buccaneers
Faction: Pirates
Reason: Underrated, Epic Pirate Uniforms, Pretty Good Stats, a Melee unit with short range pistols (only in darthmod)
furs became a fashion fad in Paris after the Mr ben Franklin was ambassador there.. he wore a dead raccoon hat to a function and it drove a boom in trade.
