I'm almost certain it's already been mentioned, but *HOLY HELL THE MINI-MAP.* The mighty Danish empire controls all but a few territories in mainland Europe, and it really shows.
I'm sure many of you were saddened by the passing of King Skapti. Well, I have good news: he lives! Yes, after his own people refused to pay his ransom, he begged to join us. He was taught our language, and will lead the Horde to many great victories! Maybe. He seems a bit nervous at first, but he will surely perform "The Mongolian Shuffle" with the best of us soon enough
Pretty Pretty Horsies: A History of the Mongol Empire: Chapter 1 - We had found a wonderful new home in the mountains west of Yerevan. There was plenty of space to run our armies in circles to keep them in shape. All was well until some assholes wearing red showed up.

You mention the Mongolian rocket launchers and then say they have no gunpowder artillery immediately after. They aren't cannons but they are still gun powder weaponry.
Venice: HA! We shall kill the Danes in the field! Denmark: Uhm... Why didn't you just stay in the Citadel? Venice: Oh... Err... Bollocks. Why didn't we do that?
Jon, you need to check if your cannon-crews are properly attached to the cannons - they might have been pushed off, which can explain why they didn't fire during most of the fight.
Here's a few tips: When positioning on a hill, make sure you're on the slope, not the summit. When positioning artillery, line them up one by one, don't click to move. Involve infantry earlier and when using them to defend, put them in defend mode. Use cavalry to chase down breaking forces earlier and use infantry to fight the remaining, so infantry can help chase. Pause the game more often, you're stressing yourself out and often miss important fights.
Fortunately you do not need it to beat MTW. TATW with MOS or EB2 though... Different story. I want Jon to try them. Both are a teaching experience- especially TATW.
Jon, here's a simple advice. If you position your artillery directly looking at a hill, then it will hit the hill, not the troops behind it. That is all.
Noah Edwards he wants world peace and technically if you kill everyone else then you can't have a war. I think he's going to let the Byzantines, Egypt and the Moors live just for some epilogue commentary.
If Jon loves the cavalry charges in MTW2 so much Im surprised that Cataphracts in Rome dont get a mention: not only are they brutal on the charge and the resulting melee they also throw people up into the air and back
So I finally started playing this game, and it's fair to say I'm comparatively awful! I'm at turn 60 and I've united the UK and taken Angers and another French territory. Also most of Christendom hate me despite never back stabbing anyone ever.
Sad to see this series not get as many views as it should and start coming to an end. I'd say let the Mongols go steamroll whatever they want unimpeded, and follow them around taking the cities they leave behind. Use all of the forces you made to fight them to wrap up Egypt and the middle east, start moving all your northern troops down making grand armies. and it's GG
Jon, you ought to check out the Ancient Empires Mod for Total War Attila. It's a big mod but its really bloody good. As someone who...seems knowledgeable of the time period I reckon you'd enjoy it
How come the AI never assaults on the first turn of a siege? I get that the portuguese here did not have any artillery, but the Moors had during their countless sieges on Corsica. It just makes it so much easier to prepare for them coming.
Raul Andreo de Paiva he will create world peace even if it means conquering nature itself. Now I can't stop thinking about Jon trying to get his artillery to hit Bambi's Mom
To me it seems like the mongols are finally attacking, or at least attacking the turks etc. to fight John eventually. I guess this way is less boring, but I find it ironic he spend the last 50 parts talking about how you don't wanna fight dem Mongols in the field, and that he's now fighting the mongols in the field.
Its usually like that, but they took so much time hes now at a tech level where its not so bad to fight on the open field, and besides, I seriously doubt they are ever going to attack his settlements
Stop. Using. Exploding. Ammo. It's shit. Regular rounds are more accurate, and one hit kill anything they go through. They smear entire lines all the way through units. You watched an exploding round kill TWO guys with a direct hit. Two. TWO!
Oh Jon... I will make you a bet; 50 quid on Patreon that you cannot do the following Install TaTW + MOS ? Return of The King Play as Gondor with Lore-friendly options, game setting VH/VH No Blitzing; IE, you are allowed to take the Ithilien provinces, Gobel Tolfalas, Langstrand and the other victory regions in the West, but no more. You can raid neighbouring provinces/Regions and Coastal regions of Harad, but not keep them. Hold like that till after Turn 100 50 Quid on Patreon, if you cannot do this before April 2017 ends, you play a campaign of Europa Barbarorum 2.
"The front line is fine, it is just falling apart"-Jon, 03.12.2017
there were a lot of archers in that battle against the Mongols. The survivors made a n-Arrow escape.
Good job👍
I want to cry.
that was Lame Timur
supersasukemaniac They don't call me _Timur the lame_ for nothing...
I'm almost certain it's already been mentioned, but *HOLY HELL THE MINI-MAP.* The mighty Danish empire controls all but a few territories in mainland Europe, and it really shows.
The Mongols even bumble around during the battle...

"I'll just do some coursework" *New MATN episode uploads* "Damn it........."
it wouldn't be MATN if jon hadn't left 112 norse swordsmen standing still for 80% of the first battle
MONGELS NED, IN AN OPEN FIELD
GODS I WAS DANISH THEN
Oh no.../freefolk is leaking
Fucking boars and killing Whores
Here's a few tips:

Tactician is a title no one will ever apply to Jon.
Not without some pertinent qualifiers.
Fortunately you do not need it to beat MTW. TATW with MOS or EB2 though...
Different story. I want Jon to try them. Both are a teaching experience- especially TATW.
Offensive ones are pretty high up there.
Defensive ones are a cakewalk.
Wait, did Jon just call a sand storm a rad storm?
He was obviously joking.
It kind of looks like a Rad storm.
Fallout reference lmfao
Blood on the snow
Blood on the ashes
I’m not ashamed of what I am!
I was hoping to find someone with this comment.
Very nice. Great song.
Oh hey it's you again! hiii
Jon, here's a simple advice. If you position your artillery directly looking at a hill, then it will hit the hill, not the troops behind it. That is all.
What's the aim right now? Is Jon taking over the whole map? That would be cool to see
Noah Edwards he wants world peace and technically if you kill everyone else then you can't have a war. I think he's going to let the Byzantines, Egypt and the Moors live just for some epilogue commentary.
You should give Rome to the Byzantines as a gift. I think it would be really nice.
RayHLv i think byzantium should burn
But... The Byzantines are the last remaining sons and daughters of the legendary Julianus Vatinius here on Earth. Rome is theirs by birthright.
julianus earned that birthright as should they
If Jon loves the cavalry charges in MTW2 so much Im surprised that Cataphracts in Rome dont get a mention: not only are they brutal on the charge and the resulting melee they also throw people up into the air and back
Oh great, the war has to be in the middle of a rad storm...
You mean, *Total War: FALLOUT* ?!
Ian Tan i'd play that
Dismounted Brotherhood Knights

Really can't wait to meet the Mongols in my game!
So I finally started playing this game, and it's fair to say I'm comparatively awful! I'm at turn 60 and I've united the UK and taken Angers and another French territory. Also most of Christendom hate me despite never back stabbing anyone ever.
Is it too much to ask to do both!?
Things like the opening battle is why later TW games added a slow-mo setting on the speed adjustment UI.
Mongols: known for their foot soldiers and cavalry
Their foot soldiers and cavalry are archers.
Why not just say they're good at shooting people?
Are these Mongols or just particularly belligerent Wildebeest? Maybe that horned moon is just an impressionist portrait
Are you just going until you're the only Catholic faction, or are you going to run over everyone?
WORLD DOMINATION
Part 63 and John still doesn't group his ranged units...
I really hope we see some fan art of moments through this play-through
Sunday night is peak MaTN
When I saw the title I thought about 50 cent: Blood on the Sands, and I thought well that would be an interesting game for Jon to play.
If you're gonna do an Empire series in the near future, will you be using Darthmod or just vanilla?
Sad to see this series not get as many views as it should and start coming to an end. I'd say let the Mongols go steamroll whatever they want unimpeded, and follow them around taking the cities they leave behind. Use all of the forces you made to fight them to wrap up Egypt and the middle east, start moving all your northern troops down making grand armies. and it's GG
ledzeppelin27 you do realize the last part got over 20,000 views which isn’t bad
Well, there's no Julianus Vatinuous
Oh, why am I suddenly on fire? And flat?
Hey Jon, when is the Government simulator live-stream being uploaded?
If anyone could win that battle against the Spanish, it's Jon.
So many Mongol cavalry troops dead- imagine how much Tesco's Mongolian beef you could have.
Stop retraining every unit. Merge old units and train new ones.
What game in the series do they add the ability to control reinforcing armies?
Thanks for the video!
i just said in my head that there should be medieval video today and i go to youtube and its the first that is there nice timing
I get extremely excited when I see it pop up
I feel like that artillery didn't really do much
Jon, you ought to check out the Ancient Empires Mod for Total War Attila. It's a big mod but its really bloody good. As someone who...seems knowledgeable of the time period I reckon you'd enjoy it
Does anyone else feel Jon's been spinning his wheels since king skapti 'bravely sacrificed himself'? Move it along Jon
well remember, it may have been 3 videos but it's only been 2 turns for him. It can and will speed up.
Did Jon win already? Which episode had the win screen?
If I remember correctly, he won when he wiped out the last settlement of the Russians, since he had Jerusalem and 45 settlements.
How come the AI never assaults on the first turn of a siege? I get that the portuguese here did not have any artillery, but the Moors had during their countless sieges on Corsica. It just makes it so much easier to prepare for them coming.
good video Jon
Jon, I know it's a TOTAL WAR game... But you are going a little bit too far declaring war on the forest!
Raul Andreo de Paiva he will create world peace even if it means conquering nature itself. Now I can't stop thinking about Jon trying to get his artillery to hit Bambi's Mom

"I will make world peace, even if it means going on a war!"
Many a True Nerd, Jon - 2017
Wow, Jon's really skipping around to do this side-quest in wind helm today... wait......
I suppose the Warhammer cavalry being less amazing is because the armies are so asymmetric: Some armies don't even have cavalry at all.
Should I start calling you the Clash? Cause you seem to have the Pavise on your back.
Will Jonathan be playing tropico 5 within the next 5 years
Good evening!
So this video was just about 2-3 different battles
Jon...Why would you fight the mongols on the field?
Are you new? Because the mongols refuse to fight anywhere else! And besides... he won.
To me it seems like the mongols are finally attacking, or at least attacking the turks etc. to fight John eventually. I guess this way is less boring, but I find it ironic he spend the last 50 parts talking about how you don't wanna fight dem Mongols in the field, and that he's now fighting the mongols in the field.
Its usually like that, but they took so much time hes now at a tech level where its not so bad to fight on the open field, and besides, I seriously doubt they are ever going to attack his settlements
Fair enough, I guess, I just really want to see Jon have an epic siege defence capital cannontower 10000 mongol massacre.
Play Doki Doki Liturature club. Its free. Dont ask questions. Dont look into it. It starts of slow but gets better
Plus 1 Intelligence is it another one of those anime tiddies game?
Mistah Susan you will see
Plus 1 Intelligence no, for it is you who shall see!
So long as we get more hedgehog facts.
Even if you restart the game every now and then? That tends to close most memory leaks.
Is it bad i look forward to the politics more then the "war" itself?
A radstorm? Fallout Total War? New merged franchise?
Yeah cool video, great commentary, much love. *WHERE IS FALLOUT FROST*
It's coming later, be patient!
