Should've taken that losing battle against the HRE though, anyone who goes to war against the Papal States gets auto excommunicated. Always take an opportunity to get another Catholic faction excommunicated.
FUN LESSON FROM AN ARCHITECT: The architecture in northern Europe focused on detail and height which eventually evolved into the Gothic style with large open windows, rib vaulting, and extremely high towers and main sections (called the Nave) while the Italian peninsula saw Gothic architecture as barbaric (which is partly why it is called Gothic today despite having nothing to do with the "barbaric" goths of the time. Gothic architects called it modern so we often refer to it as medieval modern however the name Gothic stuck so that was that.) Instead, Italian architecture remained true to the "original true church" style that came about in Roman times. Traditional arches and vaulting, smaller windows, smoother facade, and modest towers. Part of this was because they had easy access to roman architecture for inspiration while northern European designers often know of Rome by rough description only. Factor in a few hundred years and a desire to "do better" and you get a drastic branch in architecture from 600-1400ad. This is of course a gross oversimplification but good enough for a year old UA-cam video.
Indignant Wellington I'm not really sure where they came from but I know after around the 19 hundreds they started to be popular on Orthodox designs. That's why you can predominantly see them in places like Russia. They're not really linked to Gothic architecture and are likely a response to the changes taking place in the church at the time. Sometimes they're link two parts of Islamic architecture however there use in Islamic buildings actually came after their Orthodox introduction.
"Now is the time we march to war" -Jon "But sir we're already at war with half of Europe" -Drafted Peasant "WAIT, We aren't at war with absolutely everyone? I must've forgot to do that in our last episode..." -Jon
Tutush of Tibilisi was many things. Fearless? He lived up to his name. Brave? That goes without question. A brave leader? Without doubt, seeing as his bodyguard was loyal enough to die with him. Arrow-proof? No, no he was not. Although we tested that numerous times to be sure...
Minsc And Boo you know theres a popular childrens tale in denmark these days that talks about how mr cassius populated the whole of corinth and the now known as Durazzo region.
"Shooting fish in a barrel" is like "stealing candy from a baby": you wouldn't do it, but hypothetically it would be very easy. Shooting fish with a shotgun is a very easy way of fishing in a lake, because it doesn't require the finesse of angling.
I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do when I come back from holiday in 2 weeks. I expect the Doom Peasants to have statues throughout the land, Boleslaw to reign supreme and the Polish traitors defeated in full, and for Jon to have renamed another city because he keeps mispronouncing its name.
Selecting multiple units at one time and telling them to go somewhere within a city is never a good idea regardless of unit type, i.e, you should really select them one at a time and click to the same place if that makes sense, what Jon was trying to do RARELY works because they try and form next to each other as opposed to on top of each other, which ordering separately would resolve. And why is it a specific issue with cavalry? Because I'm fairly sure their hit boxes/the space they occupy as they obviously have horses is much larger than an average single man for example. Just look at the amount of space a 2x2 cavalry takes up (as in 4 horsemen in a square), you can fit like 12-16 men in the same space for example.
Ah, You was Group Selecting. I To was Referring to the Individual Selection. ((I also Rarely say anything Serious in my Life, so I was making a joke. Albiet not a good one, But few of my Attempts are humor are Actually Decent.))
Boleslaw is Starting to get on in Age. That Beautiful Butcher will be Remembered among the Greats of his Time when he Passes. Like a Danish Vlad the Impaler.
Ummmm... The only Reason I am living Comfortably is because of my Past Proffesion. I'm afraid Androids and other Mechanical beings of Intelligence don't quite get many Rights in our Empire. He'd be better of in the Possibility of Hell than Shut off in a Room the Size of a Broom Closet for half of each Day, and then working in extreme Conditions for the other half.
Well, I wonder how Many times I put in Petitions for Duckane Treatment for my kids. It hurts when you have to Purposefully stunt the Potential of your Life's work just because some Greedy Idiots like to Cut Corners and maintain Cheap Labor..
Please consider converting Dongola to a town. You don't need a castle there and there's plenty of valuable resources (slaves and ivory I believe). With a port and a nice merchant's wharf it will be able to trade with Cairo increasing your income from both provinces quite substantially - plus you will get free upkeep there so its a pure profit. Unless of course you have done that already and I just simply missed that.
First we Gonna, *RIDE!* Then we Gonna, *SHOOT!* Then we Gonna, *SING* Let Arrows Fly! Khan Gonna Give it to Ya He Gonna Give it to Ya Khan gonna Give it to Ya He Gonna Give it to Ya *YO WHERE MY TIMURIDS AT!* ((I think I've done enough for today.))
27:38 Refers to Vietnamese Fish Sauce. They sometimes shot fishes with bows from ships and then put them in the barrel to make fish sauce. Marco Polo got the idea of "Shooting Fish into a barrel"
Jon crossbows and archers ARE NOT indirect fire. The closest thing to indirect fire in this game would be an onager in certain cases. A mortar round is indirect fire. You aim it in a general area not specifically at a single target. The definition of indirect fire is a projectile fired without line of sight of a target. A weapon that you aim at a specific target or person, like a crossbow, is direct fire.
While there isn't arrow cam, in Total War: Warhammer the Orks have a goblin catapult where not only can you follow the goblin flung at the enemy, you can control it as it glides toward the enemy!
Jon, if ever you have a Great Cross in an army with any Crusade troops - Keep that cross moving! Crusade troops get double the morale bonus from the Great Cross. Crusader Sergeants can fight forever if the Cross is nearby.
You started this game with a diplomat near the pope and said you would gift them money every turn to keep their favour of you high. I haven't seen that tactic since, is that still happening? Could help with the 3/10 friendliness going on.
Over an hour of medieval total war 2, a fantastic birthday present (I've also ordered this game, can't find my brother's copy from back when it came out) gunna play it to death all over again 😂 but now much better thanks to you
*OH DEAR* did the Moorish bastards attack you like I'd been saying they would for 10 parts? I bet you regret not befriending us now! _NO WAIT I'M SORRY FOR MOCKING YOU PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME_
I can offer you protection for a _favor_ *presents tentacle monster that I stole from Oda Nobunaga and an erotic tapestries maker that I just hired, as well as my sexy cousin Katerina Korpulenta*
Don't Join the Medieval Porno Ring Al. You're better than this. If you want to forge an Empire, You don't just Suck up to the bigger Powers, you Work your way up until you are The Equals of those who were Once your Betters. Grab Life by the Balls, And squeeze until it Succumbs to your Will! The Moors are going to have to spend all of their power on Fighting off Danes, so You have an Opening. Dive in, Do that Reconquista you always talked about. Do anything BUT what the Pagan Sex Freak is Suggesting.
I...I...what do I do?! *Hey this is Urraca, I dunno what you guys did to my dad but he's having a mental breakdown: he's crying in a corner while the castle bard plays Down Under by Men at Work. Did that weird Eastern guy who tried to talk me into a four-way with my sister and my brother's corpse have something to do with this?*
It pleases me that you finally brought your Great Cross forward to help out with morale! And mostly didn't leave half your units standing around while you try to defeat the entire enemy army with 1 or 2 units. Mostly :) Those Crusader Sergeants fleeing from 1 Spear Militia though....
When Milan Fell, I just had the Ending Gungan Celebration Music from Phantom Menace going on in my Head. Hate the Movie, But Hot Damn, That Gungan Trumpet Shit Fits almost ANY situation of Victory.
My Favorite Quote of the Day. "Hot Damn that Gungan Trumpet" . Kinda Reminds me of Play that Funky Music White boy. Play that Gungan Trumpet Fish Boy! Play that Gungan Trumpet *Right!* Play that Gungan Trumpet Fish Boy! Lay Down the Boogy, and Play that Gungan Trumpet Till you Die!
Sure, Saying that is as you say. You're Ignoring the Fact of the Gungan Trumpet. The Emperors theme on Most Occasions Lacks that Fish boi Layin down the Boogie. Due to that, gungans win.
@Many A True Nerd the saying "like shooting a fish in a barrel" comes from the phenomenon that when you shoot water with a shotgun, the projectiles being slowed down creates such a strong shockwave that it kills nearby fish. If the fish is contained in a barrel, you are basically guaranteed to kill it, effectively meaning you'd have to actively try to fuck it up.
I think "like shooting fish in a barrel" is purely meant to emphasise how easy something is. Fish used to be transported in barrels - if you theoretically fired a gun into one of these barrels, you were bound to hit at least one fish (as the barrel was filled with them up to the top).
Jon, DON'T select multiple units when you're asking them to run to a specific spot, they'll 'split the difference' and run left and right of the actual spot. This is especially true inside cities, move your units individually.
Units will sometimes refuse to move down narrow streets if you have more than 1 unit selected, because they know there won't be enough space to draw up side-by-side. If you select them individually they'll do it
"shoot like dogs" is interesting bc there's a line in a chehov story where he goes "beasts like that are killed like dogs" which doesnt have the same grammar, but either suggests a borrowed and translated international phrase from like french literature, or smth more farfetched like they both retained this old phrase from their proto-language, and it survived their non-literary stages with pretty much the same meaning and slightly different structure/words.
30:34 Well DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEE!! i am dead... i was afraid my parents would hear you saying that but i was wearing headphones.. so now im afraid they heard me laughing my ass off XD
jon shooting fish in a barrel comes from the fact that you dont even need to hit the fish the shockwave alone kills them so something as easy as shooting fish in barrel means it's so easy you barely try
(you'll probably never see this Jon ) but the thing about destroying a faction in M2TW is that you are perpetually at war with them thereafter . You're Reputation will take a hit each turn for being at war with them , and their allies will still be allied with them and therefore unable to ally with you - *unless* England produces a Princess that you can marry to your faction Heir or Leader , which would undo the war .
Do you know that in battle, if you click on the shield with your faction insignia on it (in the middle of the troop command, like guard mode or skirmish mode) it will make your troops glow, making the battles easier to watch
It's only a Temporary Flash. Goes on for a few Seconds then Stops. Unless he spams it for 10 minutes instead of Ordering his Troops, it's not that Useful.
Jon: my economy is collapsed, I don't have money to repair it. Hm. If I ransack this place, I get some cash, if I invest it, I can solve the problem. *Ransacks the town* : WHAT'S THAT? GREAT WALL?
"Bloody Milan, who has caused me nothing but trouble for so bloody long." Except that it was Jon who declared a war on Milan twice and requested a crusade on Genoa. Milan is clearly the victim here.
Jon have you ever played Mount and Blade: Warband? It has quite a nice variety of mods for it that range in setting from medieval europe to warhammer fantasy to the american old west. I think you would like it and would love to see you play it!
Honestly, I REALLY wanna know what kind of culture is going on in your land of Catholic Viking Egyptians... Like, what holidays do they celebrate? What kind of families/daily lives do they have?
Jon, the saying comes from fishing for a fish in a barrel. Also, game devs are like an intelligence agency, they'll never tell you if they will or will not do something. Big chance they'll reintroduce missile cam, they need fans to tell em what they should keep/remove so a rational mind would take your advice.
The fish in the barrel thing pretty much means it is easy to hit them fish can't really move in a barrel if it is full of water that is why it's easy as in as easy as shooting fish in a barrel
Also, you would think that after the amount of times Jon has done the baiting off the plaza technique, history would remember it and people wouldn't fall for it.
Fought off 5 or 6 stacks of Mongols in Antioch (the remaining 3 or 4 stacks got me the next turn but oh well) , you don't need a big castle to take them on.
I started up medieval and checked and it is indeed the faces of the hungarian nobles. They are apparently the most hideous werewolves from like Grimm or something.
I like the Legend, I love Pixelated Apollo, and I watch Lionheart but no one was more enjoyable than you playing as Denmark with the great and glorious peasants in your side making lasagna out of the horse corpses. Also who else is hurting when Jon is recruiting Norse swordsmen instead of dismounted huskarls or feudal knights?
I know but still his economy is relatively strong enough to afford for 2 units of feudal knights and many huskarls. That's because he can always raise the tax rates in some settlements to make more money
Many A True Nerd. That sucks. So you cN only see them if your besieging the locations or if your being besieged? They should have kept it in. That was the best part of total war in my opinion.
...You know I feel the Milan general [who refused to move in the city] was non-subtle saying "I surrender" But Jon was just setting up an overly elaborate execution.
"Maybe this isn't the time for another war" Jon finally sees his series from the point of view of everyone else.
Or maybe just one tiny little extra war wouldn't hurt...
Yeah his grandson was more of a Genghis Khan't
I greatly enjoy how Jon wants an alliance and yet tries to go to war/pull everyone into a war
Should've taken that losing battle against the HRE though, anyone who goes to war against the Papal States gets auto excommunicated. Always take an opportunity to get another Catholic faction excommunicated.
it isn't called total peace

Nope. All wrong.

What's your plan for the Timurids, considering horses are scared of elephants?
King Alfonso VI The Horde befriended the Timurids on our way here. Surely once their armies arrive they will find no cause to go to war
The Mongol Horde shows what you know.
A lewd Italian? I think we found a descendent of Cassius...
or just an italian XD
-Isn't Cassius the father of italty, literally the father?- oink
22:15 How very lewd...
Minsc And Boo you know theres a popular childrens tale in denmark these days that talks about how mr cassius populated the whole of corinth and the now known as Durazzo region.

At least one of these things will be true.
All of them best be true.
When he takes it, Krakow will have to become Crack Cow.
"Why can't I form an alliance with England?" asks Jon "Neutral for 7 turns..." says the game
Perception level- Jon
I feel like when a slot opens up this series deserves 3 parts a week as per its predecessor
*clicks multiple cavalry units to both go and occupy the same space in a narrow italian street"
>Gets mad when it doesn't work
Well, You're able to jam 400 Mercenary Spearmen into the same space in a Narrow Italian Street, Why not Cavalry?
Selecting multiple units at one time and telling them to go somewhere within a city is never a good idea regardless of unit type, i.e, you should really select them one at a time and click to the same place if that makes sense, what Jon was trying to do RARELY works because they try and form next to each other as opposed to on top of each other, which ordering separately would resolve.

hes choking on tens of millions of people he genocided literally "for the lulz"
Timurid is not a language. The timurid horde gets its name from their leader, timur. You are clearly nought but a poser, a disgusting Jalayarid.
laughs in 200 turns
Day Ja yh i know there's no language called timurid its a joke infidel
You've got to love a strategist who takes a town to make his border look nicer...
That's what I do all the time :P
"I don't think we've taken a capital before..."
Russia and Egypt apparently didn't get that memo.
It is indescribably fitting that the Duke of Milan died by being shot in the back by a bunch of crossbow-wielding peasants
That one Milan spear militia guy must have more dread the Boleslaw can even dream of.

Wouldn't be a Total War video without Jon contemplating if he should really start a war for no reason. Love it as always.
Jon crossbows and archers ARE NOT indirect fire. The closest thing to indirect fire in this game would be an onager in certain cases. A mortar round is indirect fire. You aim it in a general area not specifically at a single target. The definition of indirect fire is a projectile fired without line of sight of a target. A weapon that you aim at a specific target or person, like a crossbow, is direct fire.
I have a bad feeling that Inquisitor is heading for Jon's general in Metz, since the guy's got a dang Pagan astrologer
did anyone else notice that Metz is like 40% heretic or something? Only slightly concerning...
While there isn't arrow cam, in Total War: Warhammer the Orks have a goblin catapult where not only can you follow the goblin flung at the enemy, you can control it as it glides toward the enemy!
Denmark are getting what is coming to them
I'm just looking forward to the Danes distracting you from Iberia...
Jon, if ever you have a Great Cross in an army with any Crusade troops - Keep that cross moving! Crusade troops get double the morale bonus from the Great Cross. Crusader Sergeants can fight forever if the Cross is nearby.
You started this game with a diplomat near the pope and said you would gift them money every turn to keep their favour of you high. I haven't seen that tactic since, is that still happening? Could help with the 3/10 friendliness going on.
Over an hour of medieval total war 2, a fantastic birthday present (I've also ordered this game, can't find my brother's copy from back when it came out) gunna play it to death all over again 😂 but now much better thanks to you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Scott Elder happy birthday try to socialize a bit because all that friendly stuff will go out the window when you get medieval 2
Happy birthday too from me and yeah
because of Jon i basically love medieval 2 total war as well XD. Thank you for introducing me to this game
Dont forget to add that text file mod into your data directory otherwise literally everyone will hate you by the 25th turn

I've never done anything wrong in my life! I'm just the proud dad of approximately 11,764,356 (primarily Persian) children!
Personally, I blame Alexios. And the rest of the Tabellarioi. They just _had_ to go Catholic!
When Jon is taking Milan the enemy general is in the courtyard in a Dick formation. So it pretty much explains everything about Milan.
Did you ever think maybe the moor peacekeepers are attacking you because you're the most warlike faction in the game XD?
It pleases me that you finally brought your Great Cross forward to help out with morale! And mostly didn't leave half your units standing around while you try to defeat the entire enemy army with 1 or 2 units. Mostly :) Those Crusader Sergeants fleeing from 1 Spear Militia though....
When Milan Fell, I just had the Ending Gungan Celebration Music from Phantom Menace going on in my Head. Hate the Movie, But Hot Damn, That Gungan Trumpet Shit Fits almost ANY situation of Victory.

Play that Gungan Trumpet Fish Boy!
Play that Gungan Trumpet *Right!*
Play that Gungan Trumpet Fish Boy!
Lay Down the Boogy, and Play that Gungan Trumpet Till you Die!
((I need a Fucking Life))
The Gungan celebration theme is basically the Emperor's theme but faster.
Sure, Saying that is as you say. You're Ignoring the Fact of the Gungan Trumpet. The Emperors theme on Most Occasions Lacks that Fish boi Layin down the Boogie. Due to that, gungans win.
The actual name of the track in question is "Augie's Great Municipal Band".

I’m starting to realize this is an 80 flipping hour commitment.
Great work getting into Milan and getting such a good defensive position that they failed to take
you can´t ally with england because of a bug
the game still thinks, that the english are still allied with milan
so you can´t ally them
Jon is like a teenage girl when her father asks a the money he gave her yesterday, “I already spent all the money.”
I think "like shooting fish in a barrel" is purely meant to emphasise how easy something is. Fish used to be transported in barrels - if you theoretically fired a gun into one of these barrels, you were bound to hit at least one fish (as the barrel was filled with them up to the top).
Jon, DON'T select multiple units when you're asking them to run to a specific spot, they'll 'split the difference' and run left and right of the actual spot. This is especially true inside cities, move your units individually.
Jon-"My cavalry will get through the sides" -Cavalry goes through middle because Jon busy talking rather then watching what is happening :P
A video longer than an hour in my favorite series? Best birthday ever.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
well that's the first time i've been wished happy birthday from a Scottish Papal Crossbowman.
'Good afternoon , ladies and gentlemen'
Good afternoon you say? Good afternoon? IT'S BLOODY HALF PAST 10 IN ENGLAND
Shix Lo The Crusader and 1 in the morning in serbia
And currently half-past 7 in New England
((It was Afternoon in America. And, Let's be Honest. We're all that Matters, Right? ... Right?
You weren't one of the sergeants running from a single Italian spear militia, were you?
It's 6 o'clock in Illinois
Units will sometimes refuse to move down narrow streets if you have more than 1 unit selected, because they know there won't be enough space to draw up side-by-side. If you select them individually they'll do it
Good call upgrading Alexandria, if you let that slide for too long things get bad and it becomes very hard to correct
Plus, like Antioch, it's one of the cities that can make ludicrous money for your investment.
"shoot like dogs" is interesting bc there's a line in a chehov story where he goes "beasts like that are killed like dogs" which doesnt have the same grammar, but either suggests a borrowed and translated international phrase from like french literature, or smth more farfetched like they both retained this old phrase from their proto-language, and it survived their non-literary stages with pretty much the same meaning and slightly different structure/words.
Call it New lasagna. "The second" is only ever used for people. Come on now jon

jon shooting fish in a barrel comes from the fact that you dont even need to hit the fish the shockwave alone kills them so something as easy as shooting fish in barrel means it's so easy you barely try

21:20 NEVER give movement orders through streets for multiple units. The gods of gaming decreed it thus.
Do you know that in battle, if you click on the shield with your faction insignia on it (in the middle of the troop command, like guard mode or skirmish mode) it will make your troops glow, making the battles easier to watch
It's only a Temporary Flash. Goes on for a few Seconds then Stops. Unless he spams it for 10 minutes instead of Ordering his Troops, it's not that Useful.
As to when to shoot a dog -- the optimum time, if poetry is to be believed, is when he's on the highway, with a bunch of lace at his throat.
Within 5 minutes jon spent 15,000$ good job jon best king ever of all time
Jon dosn't think "shooting fish in a barrel" makes sense: it's like he's never played COD 🤣
Jon: my economy is collapsed, I don't have money to repair it.
Hm. If I ransack this place, I get some cash, if I invest it, I can solve the problem.
*Ransacks the town* : WHAT'S THAT? GREAT WALL?
Might Duke Bindello the Lewd be related to Cassius the Lewd?
Quite probable, in fact.

58:00 that is 400 people just handeling siege equipement
21:30 Maybe the mercenaries got rid of their translators when they kept calling everything indirect fire.
"Bloody Milan, who has caused me nothing but trouble for so bloody long."
Except that it was Jon who declared a war on Milan twice and requested a crusade on Genoa. Milan is clearly the victim here.
Me watching this series again: So the bumble begins.
And so the adventures of Bonesaw Herman the Merciless continue...
I'm surprised you didn't go to war with the Imperials. you almost have a complete set.
Thanks for the video!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: That is the break you were looking for
Jon the sexy stormtrooper: This was the break we were looking for...
Alan light cavelry, all of them are called Alan, except Jeff, they ignore him.
Jon have you ever played Mount and Blade: Warband? It has quite a nice variety of mods for it that range in setting from medieval europe to warhammer fantasy to the american old west. I think you would like it and would love to see you play it!
I guess I was wrong in thinking I was the only one who played that games. Bless you...
Honestly, I REALLY wanna know what kind of culture is going on in your land of Catholic Viking Egyptians... Like, what holidays do they celebrate? What kind of families/daily lives do they have?
Jon, the saying comes from fishing for a fish in a barrel.
Also, game devs are like an intelligence agency, they'll never tell you if they will or will not do something. Big chance they'll reintroduce missile cam, they need fans to tell em what they should keep/remove so a rational mind would take your advice.
This episode Jon slams a lot of soldiers in the rear with horses, and hopes they crack.
The fish in the barrel thing pretty much means it is easy to hit them fish can't really move in a barrel if it is full of water that is why it's easy as in as easy as shooting fish in a barrel
I hope England does not become an enemy, they're awesome.
~an English man
Also, you would think that after the amount of times Jon has done the baiting off the plaza technique, history would remember it and people wouldn't fall for it.
I think the defense against the moors is the first city defense you've done, including the Rome total war series
Come for the Total War, stay for the over thinking of fish in a barrel.
Does Jon know you can hold down shift and then right click to queue up orders, to save him from the perils of bad pathing?
Fought off 5 or 6 stacks of Mongols in Antioch (the remaining 3 or 4 stacks got me the next turn but oh well) , you don't need a big castle to take them on.
I started up medieval and checked and it is indeed the faces of the hungarian nobles. They are apparently the most hideous werewolves from like Grimm or something.
I like the Legend, I love Pixelated Apollo, and I watch Lionheart but no one was more enjoyable than you playing as Denmark with the great and glorious peasants in your side making lasagna out of the horse corpses.
Also who else is hurting when Jon is recruiting Norse swordsmen instead of dismounted huskarls or feudal knights?
Quantity over Quality. Norse Swordsman are Cheap.
I know but still his economy is relatively strong enough to afford for 2 units of feudal knights and many huskarls. That's because he can always raise the tax rates in some settlements to make more money
Timur the red flagged rider, had a very shiny bow....
And if you ever saw him, He would shoot your nose!
Shogun 2 has missile camera. Havent played the newer titles so I dont know about the others.
damnit Jon always starting wars
Jon are you going to move prince Sighvat to Acre to get it to a citadel
i would love if you do more total war after this maybe empire or napoleon
Moss Cow. Moss cow was a capital you took. And renamed a bloody mildew bovine. How can you forget that? :)
Did the Danish troops pouring into Milan look like fireworks to anyone else?
27:30 Dan played a game where you get to shoot down Snoopy on his doghouse. Does that count?
20:56 that formation
hehe
I wish Jon would show us all his cities and castles one episode.
That function was taken out after Rome 1 - you only see cities etc during actual battles.
Many A True Nerd. That sucks. So you cN only see them if your besieging the locations or if your being besieged? They should have kept it in. That was the best part of total war in my opinion.
Jon, select units individually if you want them to go to the same spot, especially in cities.
8:30 That is why Sicily is the best faction. Fight me.
...You know I feel the Milan general [who refused to move in the city] was non-subtle saying "I surrender"
But Jon was just setting up an overly elaborate execution.
