@@Titan-gs6cf I take Timbuktu in every campaign. I've got a bunch of Russians on the way there right now. I just like saying, "I own everything from here to Timbuktu!"
Weirdly this seems to apply to other parts of life as well. When I got promoted to manager at work, a mustache mysteriously appeared on my face, and normally my gender can't grow those! My command went up by +4 though, so worth it.
I always watch these videos and wonder what the other side thinks. They probably see Denmark as a massive Empire expanding throughout all their territory. In a way, Jon is kind of the bad guys in this series, a massive expanding Empire threatening everyone and scaring them.
Denmark is a misunderstood titan. With the exception of Milan (who had it coming), the Danes have never made unprovoked war with any Catholic nation. If they hadn't betrayed Denmark's friendship, the Poles, the English, and the Hungarians (not technically allies, but the Danes were rooting for them) wouldn't be dead or dying. Likewise, if France, Scotland, Portugal, Germany, and Spain hadn't declared war on Denmark for "reasons," they, too, might not be on their way to history's ash heap. Everything Denmark has done thus far has been (more or less) justified. A shame what's coming to Vienna, but a promise is a promise... ='[.]'=
Raycheetah Still feels weird that I'm rooting for an empire who shows no mercy to others. Then again, it is more fun to be on the winning (more brutal) side of history.
Jon is twice a crusading champion of the Holy Church, captor of the Holy Lands, and destroyer of the heretical Orthodox Russians. No other nation in Christendom has performed so heroically, nor produced such blessed Popes, and every territory he brings under Denmark's sway is a territory added to the culture and heritage of that great and pious nation. =^[.]~=
The narrator and the characters of the Danish faction do not, in fact, have Danish accents at all. They have the stupid generic Slavic one, which I always found infuriating.
Actually, that there is a cool bug in Medieval II - when your useless king has 0/10 authority and gets a trait or retinue that lowers his authority even more - he instantly becomes a God Emperor with 10/10 authority, because authority can't be negative. So there is a good reason to keep king Skapti alive, he is literally in one step from greatness.
I understand this whole Holy Roman Empire thing, but I have a few questions: If they colonized Mexico, would they make holy guacamole? If they took over a recording studio, would it be a place for holy foley work? Lastly, if they took over a recording studio in a ditch in Mexico, would it be wholly a holy foley hole, holding bowls of holy guacamole?
Jon, you're taunting the Mongols forward, but you're not building cannon towers (which take 6 turns)? Is it that you think you've already built them, but haven't?
Jon, at one point you asked your axemen to line up with three other units ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY while they were still fighting enemies on their side. Nice work with the groups.
"We've got the money, so let's spend it." A few turns later: "Yeah, we're a bit low on the ol' money... can't really afford [thing]." Might not happen this episode (haven't quite finished yet), but it tends to keep happening, doesn't it?
Meh. It's only a FEW THOUSAND florins a turn in lost trade revenues, right? If Jon really cared, he'd have a bunch of merchants cranking out the cashy money everywhere in his expansive empire. =9[.]9=
Is Portugal just hardcoded to try and take Ireland? I was just recently playing on the easiest difficulty as England since I'm not very good at Total War and Portugal sent a massive invasion force just for my small Dublin.
I bought Medieval II: Total War recently because of this series. I chose to play as the Venetians so that the risk of excommunication is not high because I get to fight The Byzantines and the Turks. That was my plan until the forces of Milan invaded my italian settlements with 2 full stack armies that has Genoese Crossbowmen and heavy infantry. I was screwed when I was only in my 28th turn.
From what I saw I think that he was talking about the merchant cavalry, rather than the agent known as the merchant. The merchant cavalry are like regular cavalry, except that they have lower attack, defence, speed, and don't have lances, meaning that they don't get the charge bonus, overall making them rather terrible.
Merchants can provide massive amounts of income at the start of the game. However, he's past the point where they are really useful. Between his massive amounts of tax income and already monopolizing massive amounts of the map's valuable resources, he's running out of GOOD things to use them on.
The Daily Hugalu Mongolian GPS Sets World Record For longest recalculation! The Mongolian GPS has set a new world record for longest recalculation. At 220 years, 6 months and 12 days, their GPS still recalculates their route as the Mongolians wander trying to find a map and compass. Yerevan was mysteriously had none.
Merchant/cavalry militia isn't useless. You can use it to kill artillery thats too far forward. You can use it to flank units on a street that are engaged with your infantry. You can use it to run down fleeing troops. I've found that its slightly faster than true heavy cav. Its good to have some cavalry in any situation. Its worth at least one slot in your garrison. I know its been 6 years and nobody will see this. I just like to type things sometimes.
with all this goading of the mongols im waiting waiting for a part to be titled "be careful what you wish for" should the mongols prove to be stronger then he thought
jon why are you so eager for a war with the mongols? the mongols have super generals, if you let them dance for awhile their super generals will die of old age and they'll become easy targets
Yea the knights are way better but unfortunatly all of jons knights are currently in the middle east waiting for the monguls and have been for like 100 years
Jon, you are getting less and less efficient in your videos. You could consider speeding up the battles and not repeating yourself in saying the same thing. At this point, you have won the game, even if all other factions attack you, you could handle them because they are the AI.
Dongola and Helsinki, the forgotten settlements.
Timbuktu also.
you forgot Arguin, Arguin will never even be discovered let alone conquered by NPCs
@@Titan-gs6cf I take Timbuktu in every campaign. I've got a bunch of Russians on the way there right now. I just like saying, "I own everything from here to Timbuktu!"
At this point the mongols will become rebel eventually because their family members will all die out.
Jon: I hope I get a general, I'm pretty low on generals
Also Jon: a general named Skapti? No!
Why must you do this to us Jon?
Everyone knows that a good leader becomes a great leader when he grows his command mustache. (Military 101)
but he becomes legendary if he grow a beard!
Weirdly this seems to apply to other parts of life as well. When I got promoted to manager at work, a mustache mysteriously appeared on my face, and normally my gender can't grow those! My command went up by +4 though, so worth it.
Very true in Star Trek
Does anybody else think shit's gonna hit the fan every time Jon says "I have a PLAN"
Parish Dennis Yep
Don’t worry sir, I’ve got a cunning plan!
And that plan got your BritAntispanuel killed?
the "Empire" in holy roman empire has been removed.
and "roman", it was never brutii standard
i'ts not really holy either..
The Timurid Horde stealing quoted from Voltaire is the best kind of quote stealing
James Studholme from who?
Hey Timurid's can you pick me up some eggs on your way over to Europe, please?
Joshua Davies we didn't manage to pick up eggs but we picked up plague... looks like its coming your way too
Like it's name it will soon be nothing

Raycheetah That honestly sounds like Nazi Germany talk, just Danish.
I love that how in Milan, the squalor meter appears to be off the scale...
From what I can remember, Godfrey the Handsome has the Flaccid trait, so that's why he's seething with rage
Oh, he's an incel?
The map looks like the Soviet Union has taken over the hall of Europe but they've got a Danish accent.
It's Red Alert all over again!
I like how the phrasing of that sounds like you can tell that it has a Danish accent just purely from the map colouring. XD
The narrator and the characters of the Danish faction do not, in fact, have Danish accents at all. They have the stupid generic Slavic one, which I always found infuriating.

St. Gallen The Great That actually happened with the French King. His Authority got so low, that it jumped to ten.

You're proud of that one aren't you?
Tiberius Brutus leave these lands infidel or i shall remove you
they did have Holy Bolonga for a little bit
The true question is:
If they took a shit, would it be called a holy shit?
Now holy moly they have nothing
Your king has no authority because he is sitting on his rear in Adana rather than doing any leader-ing. Winning battles generates authority!
True, even a shit king can become ok when getting some glory
Are the Mongols secretly being stood up by their fellow horde members?
Jon, you're taunting the Mongols forward, but you're not building cannon towers (which take 6 turns)? Is it that you think you've already built them, but haven't?
Congratulations on your 300.000 subscribers, Jon!
Just a hello and thank you from South Africa. Really enjoying this series and your entertaining narrative.
Somebody decided to send Moor troops to Corsica, I see.
Last time I was this early, Pustin was still loyal...
The Fridge wait did that ever happen
The Sole Survivor Karl... of all people. *single tear*
Jon, at one point you asked your axemen to line up with three other units ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY while they were still fighting enemies on their side. Nice work with the groups.
Hey Jon are you going to continue the Seleucid campaign in RTW?
Karl Bengston You were the chosen one!
Hm you might need more priests if you want to not be absolutely be hated
"We've got the money, so let's spend it."
A few turns later:
"Yeah, we're a bit low on the ol' money... can't really afford [thing]."
Might not happen this episode (haven't quite finished yet), but it tends to keep happening, doesn't it?
It looks like you might be able to attempt a night attack against those two French forces. Maybe?
You did it Jon! 300K! Congratulations!
The french have been blocking your ports for ages, sort it out!!
Meh. It's only a FEW THOUSAND florins a turn in lost trade revenues, right? If Jon really cared, he'd have a bunch of merchants cranking out the cashy money everywhere in his expansive empire. =9[.]9=
please do shogun 2 at one point (in the future obviously)
theheadset or in the past whichever
Take a shot every time Jon says "Chunky"
I'm not ready to die of alcohol poisoning yet.
Skapit puts the king in fucking useless
I did it! I watched every episode of this series before it ended!
Is Portugal just hardcoded to try and take Ireland? I was just recently playing on the easiest difficulty as England since I'm not very good at Total War and Portugal sent a massive invasion force just for my small Dublin.
i think it's a bug that is supposed to make portugal and spain avoid warring with the moors too soon.
Why does Jon still care about excommunication
it gives a happiness penalty and his faction can be crusaded against.
The crusaded part is only a problem because Venice, but the happiness penalty is a huge one.
Yes! Venice joins us Denmark in the war against the Unholy Roman Empire! PRAISE THE POPE!

I actually exclaimed out loud when the courageous Karl left the empire. Down with the false King Skapti!
*Goes to Thorn*
Jon: What's your job BTW?
*Sees a guy with mediocre loyalty*
Jon: We'll send you with the forces of Thorn!
Yay for Jon!
Karl Bengtsson is a badass

with all this goading of the mongols im waiting waiting for a part to be titled "be careful what you wish for" should the mongols prove to be stronger then he thought
Can't do that I'll be excommunicated. He says whilst at war with every single Catholic faction in the entire game.
Did you know: Venice is Julii, Sicily is Scipii and Milan is Brutii from Rome TW
poland more like poNOLAND
I think Godfred The Handsome is angry because he is not the king and yet he looks *FABOLOUS*
Omg Godfred the Handsome is just Prince Sigvald the Magnificent from Warhammer
I think the reason that the empirials attacked you is because you stole their bucket at bologna
Good video Jon
Hope you don't score an own mongol by taunting them.
King Skapti reminds me of the leader in Norsemen.
Happy 300000 jon!!!
OMFG 300k subs!!! Finaly we can see Jon playing around with Excel. I can´t belive I just typed that...
If you conquer Dijon name it The Jon
What does 'Thy Art Is Murder' have to do with any if this?
Is there a reason you never use wedge formation for your cavalry?
Johnny Harris because it leaves your cavalry surrounded which is exactly what you don't want.
jon why are you so eager for a war with the mongols? the mongols have super generals, if you let them dance for awhile their super generals will die of old age and they'll become easy targets
Why don't you just send the king off to die against the Mongols in one on many combat?
Thanks for the video!
I wonder if there's a Punishment Due...
In total how many soldiers does the Danish empire hold right now?
300k subs yay
Hitler looks at Jon's empire and cries about what could have been
Oh Jon, why do you not sally out? Why do you not just drive them away to keep your troops from dying of attrition and to get your trade back up?
"fet the cav on these guys here"
Jon why are you not investing in Cannon towers in Gaza and Acres?
300K HYPE AAARRRRGGGHHHHH
Stop training huscarls. They suck compared to the dismounted knights you can make.
But they're way cheaper
Yea the knights are way better but unfortunatly all of jons knights are currently in the middle east waiting for the monguls and have been for like 100 years
They are worse, but way cheaper and easier to produce. Armor Piercing Axes don't hurt either.
Do a Rome total war mercenary only run ( can use starting army)
Deus vult?
300,027 subs nice
I have never seen zero likes or dislikes on a video. Looks really weird if I'm going to be honest.
lol
also keep up the great work jon
When the fuck are you going to take Damascus when ever I see it it annoys me to no end
