Jon your economy imploded because you moved your capital to lasagne. You litteraly moved the capital off of the most central city in your money making region to get 20% public order in Cairo
One of our many, many, horse archers developed a bit of a cough today. Normally, we would quarantine the ill until they recover, but we're just in such a hurry that we keep moving. Hopefully it's nothing contagious. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if we accidentally wiped out half of the Empire with a foreign plague!
If the distance from the capital effects the happiness of a town, should't the capital be in Genoa, near dead center of the map and thus the danish empire. Be a hell of a lot closer to Egypt that's for sure.
Admiral Jon, have you considered that your ships hate the ground where your cities stay? Ask the logicians of the Byzantines for assistance on this matter, a friend of mine in Constantinople has thought of an idea.
Block them at Jonstantinople and north of the Caucasus (In the mountain pass). If necessary use Gaza as a third hold out point, let them throw their strength at Egypt, the Turks and the Byzantines and send small skirmishing armies (Preferably missile cavalry but I doubt it will be due to his faction) to wear them down since they can't retrain (Yes, I know they'll die, but they're cheap to train anyway). Then let the Timurids clean them up. Then again, it seems like Jon really wants to expand as far into the middle east as possible so...
21:20 I think it's because the map in the game is flat with the northern part proportionally larger than it should be, thus making the units move 'faster' there than ones on the southern part.
exactly what I was thinking, since there is much more land mass towards the equator than there is in the north or south of the world even though flat maps don't show it.
That effect of a projection exaggerates the northern E-W distance, as globe surface segments are stretched out onto a 2D map. But that isn't needed N-S It's probably movement penalties for N. European units crossing hot dessert.
Jon, I have noticed that you have been doing alot of sally battles recently and I thought I should tell you that in Medieval II its arguably better to let the enemy attack you instead of doing sally battles, they are nowhere near as good as they were in Rome since the enemy doesn't tend to go near your walls and archers are not as powerful. Also with all the new defences with castles, citadels etc. and the much more powerful towers it could be worth taking a few casualties from the siege effect rather than going out and fighting the enemy
that's a terrible idea. you want the walls, they are an absurd advantage. You want to hold the walls, and hope they keep a ram alive, encircle the front gate and its a slaughter every time even if you have a completely inferior force
The catapults can't fire at the spearmen because they don't have a good line of sight. The hill is blocking the shot. Remember to put artillery on a slight hill, this becomes even more important when the guns come into play.

Poland probably backed off because they received one of those ultimatums from the pope where you have to stop attacking right now or be excommunicated. So being best friends with the pope seems to be working fine.
What if the Danes ally with the Imperials and fund a holy order to conquer Lithuania? What if that order invades Russia in winter and fights a major battle on a frozen lake. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Jon. I know we're living in hard times in the UK right now and it's not a popular topic but maybe some budget cuts and austerity would help you? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DISBAND SOME UNITS YOU DONT NEED.
I think the main problem with his economy came because he moved his capital. Ourhaus itself lost around a thousand gold a turn when it stopped being his capital, and I think the nearby towns all lost income as well. All for the sake of an additional 20% public order in Cairo--I don't think it was worth it!
The General/captain always stands on the extreme left hand side of his unit, pretty easy to target him. Your economy tanked because you moved the capital : /
@@21films92 Your economy performs better if you have your capital in the middle of your empire. A large part of it is down to corruption - the further a settlement is from your capital, the more income is lost to corruption. As an added and related bonus, having your capital smack bang in the middle of your empire reduces public order penalties as a whole.
Hey, anyone else notice that Jon is essentially recreating History, sending people on crusades in the middle east, essentially becoming Teutonic Knights, then spreading religion in russia and poland region. The Danes were part of the Teutonic order.
In a game I played as Russia I was despicable, at war with the Pope, had betrayed half of my allies, had been betrayed by the other half and had left my mainland undefended whilst at war in western France. And for some reason despite all that Denmark (whose power was not equivalent but nearly as strong as mine) chose not to betray me and are still my allies to this day. I had no mods installed, so I'm really confused as to how the AI works, since it clearly doesn't always betray you sooner or later.
(Front Page of Danmark I Dag Wartime Special Edition Issue 1) *War Never Changes* *or The Life of a Danish Soldier* By: Archdeacon Niels Tablaris "...war never changes," said Steven, an archer of the Danish Army and veteran of the Northern Campaign against Russia who will likely see deployment against Poland in the very near-future. I approached him for an interview after his memoir on the Vikingrad Defensive became a national hit. When we approached him, he was skeptical about the idea, but we managed to convince him. Over the course of our interview, he discussed the tactical failures that occurred in Russia, and when prompted, began listing good men who died for little to nothing. Men like Aksel, or Johan, some nobles, others were commoners, all brave and patriotic men, some of them boys, who didn't deserve any of this. When we asked Steve for his opinion on the War of Polish Aggression, he said "...we patriots need to think again when it comes to war. Instead of having war, we should think of strengthening our alliances that we already have...I can't foresee when this war will end or who will have less casualties on their side. Our tactical failures will land most of us a grave in Dane, the Polish will lose but at what cost?" I gave him a St Michael the Archangel's medal to pray with, and offered him my prayers before leaving. After I had left the house, I entered a newly-built mead-hall, where a Dane and a Russian, both veterans who were no longer soldiers, gave a speech in their respective languages, announcing a bright future, expressing hope for the end of the Northern War, and the prospect of mutual cooperation and friendship between the Danes and Russian. Danes and Russians who once fought were drinking together, singing together, forgetting their past military allegiances. Well if only you been there - mad kings, bloody generals, fanatical ministers, jingoistic journalists, rear echelon patriots - to contemplate the sublime spectacle.
I wish that faction exclusive units became available to you if you captured their original capital, it would make pushing into enemy heartlands an extremely valuable strategy
I think the "bug" with Spain and Portugal is about their expansion in France. They were supposed to attack just north-east of their territory (south of France basically) but the values are to high. So they attack Wales/Caen/Rennes instead of Toulouse and Bordeaux. Every time I play France or England, they just can't stop attacking me there (and never in the south).
I know this is three years later, but Spain and Portugal are coded to try and get to the New World. Before they are able to, they take the closest rebel settlements to it, which are Ireland and Wales.
King Rufus (I'm sorry, but the original English King is dead by now) we have a little problem: I'm supposed to be building the greatest armada of all time but this one English captain called Francis Drake keeps raiding my ships. My men are already telling stories about how he challenged the Sun to a rotating around the other contest and that's why Earth is no longer the center of the universe. Anyhow, care to explain?
*Entry 13* I was reading books in al-Jazari's library, including many great poems by a Persian poet named Ferdowsi when I noticed a highly decorated book. I opened it out of curiosity and it really spoke to me. It talked about God's truth, and His truth is supreme. As I read on, not realizing that time was going by as I began reading before dawn and hadn't stopped until the incantation the Mohammedans refer to as the Call to Prayer was chanted for their morning hour. When I closed, I made a prayer to the Supreme Being, hoping for answers about this book. A few minutes later, as I walked the halls, I saw my friend removing a cloak while walking, and I showed him the book asking him about it. He told me it was the word of God, and I replied "You mean the Vulgata?" to which he said "No, the recitation." Confused, I asked him what he meant by recitation, and he told me that it is a collection of prayers that reveal the God's truth. Very intriguing... *Entry 14* I asked al-Jazari if I could speak to an imam, and he directed me to the nearby mosque. I went there and found a man tending to the interior. He responded to my presence with "Marhaba (Hello)" and I responded in kind. He asked if he could help me, and I asked him for the imam, which he turned out to be. I asked him about the recitations, and he said that those were the scriptures (literally Holy Book), and the literal word of God. He explained that many incarnations existed, but that they were corrupted until Muhammad revealed the incorrupt word. I told him that I read such a book and that it spoke to me, and asked him a series of questions on spiritual matters. The old imam responded with such passion, rigor, and wisdom, that I was convinced. I submitted to God's will there, and was now a true follower of The God. Unfortunately, when I return home, it will be as a criminal. I must hide my faith, out of fear of the law.
Ya know the whole catapult fiasco at minute 34? Your catapults didn't have line of sight. The enemy troops were behind a hill, so your catapults couldn't hit them.

@@21films92 I no longer have a clue why I said that years ago, but if I could hazard a guess, the debuff on distance to capital is pretty severe? And the necessary drop in tax income to offset the opinion penalty maybe? Or maybe he just moved from a really valuable city to a trash one and it screwed up trade routes or something.

Its similar in Rome: Total War too!
Jupiter, King of the Gods - His Russian cities weren't the ones with huge public order issues, his Egyptian ones were. Moving to Lasagne made very little difference to his Egyptian cities and created public order issues in his Western-most European cities.
as I saw it in a town (or castle.) building public order buildings would add that amount every turn. up to a maximum limit. based on how many and how high a tier building they were. So for example if a town had a small abbey they would get 3% religion every turn. up to say 100% but as they reached up to 75% it had diminishing returns. till it stagnated at a flat 75% Building a small Church would add another 10% limit up to 85% but the Small Abbey and Small Church would both boost Religion to 8% a turn. (I think a small church has 5% religion.) Same with Public order buildings but they work differently. this is just my theory but based on the assumption of the above example with town watch instead. (which adds 5% public order due to law.) each one builds up the public order as (i.e. health, law, etc.) individually but what determines public order is population size. Cause think of it like this. if you have 500 people. and one brothel. everybody gonna go to the brothel and get happier. But if you had 2000 people... your gonna need to give the prostitutes a break. So less people are happy. and just build more buildings to keep the happiness and order go up and up. So in short. when building a new building in a city/castle. it does not lose the benefits of the previous buildings.
I think you're economy tanked because of the capital switch. If you won't change it back to Ourhouse, I think Genoa is at least a better candidate than lasagne.

(Mongols, Aztecs and Timurids would also appear but you can't actually play them) If you are interested in doing it the file on windows is in- (SteamLibrary-steamapps-common-Medieval II Total War-data-world-maps-campaign-imperial_campaign-descr_strat) though you can unlock them. Its similar in Rome: Total War too!
thanks you
jon if you play this again on the channel you should be Italy and try to rush every one with militia troops
excited for gunpowder
hoy mate good job helping all of those suicidal peebs with your content
tip: if you hold down right mouse button, you will see the trail youre selected unit will go
i figured you didnt know since i didnt see you using it
is there a way to change the campaign camera movement speed?
Right, intriguing, that’s a concern, dahm it, you know what,screw it
Would you ever consider play the Stainless Steal mod ?
Won't the aztecs show up at some point?
Now that there's war with Sicily, if Tripoli is undefended, why not take it?
Why didn't you move the capital to your beautiful new summer castle on a hill??
Wouldn't it make more sense to make Genoa your capital rather than Lasagne location-wise?
SourceOfBeing way too far from his Russian cities and castles
Jupiter, King of the Gods - His Russian cities weren't the ones with huge public order issues, his Egyptian ones were. Moving to Lasagne made very little difference to his Egyptian cities and created public order issues in his Western-most European cities.
they won't fire because they can't see the enemy
You need to switch your capital back to where it was originally, this is destroying your economy
You deffo need a city called IKEA!
as I saw it in a town (or castle.) building public order buildings would add that amount every turn. up to a maximum limit. based on how many and how high a tier building they were.
So for example if a town had a small abbey they would get 3% religion every turn. up to say 100% but as they reached up to 75% it had diminishing returns. till it stagnated at a flat 75%
Building a small Church would add another 10% limit up to 85% but the Small Abbey and Small Church would both boost Religion to 8% a turn. (I think a small church has 5% religion.)
Same with Public order buildings but they work differently. this is just my theory but based on the assumption of the above example with town watch instead. (which adds 5% public order due to law.) each one builds up the public order as (i.e. health, law, etc.) individually but what determines public order is population size.
Cause think of it like this. if you have 500 people. and one brothel. everybody gonna go to the brothel and get happier. But if you had 2000 people... your gonna need to give the prostitutes a break.
So less people are happy.
and just build more buildings to keep the happiness and order go up and up.
So in short. when building a new building in a city/castle. it does not lose the benefits of the previous buildings.
What faction is the hardest to play?
Scotland. They try to declare Independence on every turn
also how the hell did jon go from 14,000$ from last part to only like 2,000 $ max in this part
Jared Cicero feverishly building armies and such to defend without paying any attention
Alysha Bolden ok thank you
HE MOVED THE CAPITOL!
You should’ve made a chess pun and called the video “The Sicilian Defense.”
Jon, you don't pronounce the second i in Vilnius, it's just Vil-nus.
I realize i'm late but you do realize winning a fight is way easier if you're actually inside the walls right?

I'm watching you, Pig.
-I see all woman, you're a pawn compared to me- Oink
oink!
love the accent
*Drinking heavily* Ugh.... At least one empire is doing well.
You are, of course referring to the Great Seljuk and the improvements to stability made by my *ministering* to Muslim-Christian *relations,* right?
I think you're economy tanked because of the capital switch. If you won't change it back to Ourhouse, I think Genoa is at least a better candidate than lasagne.
WOOO Vikings! Or not Vikings...... kind of Vikings?
Only 42 minutes? Come on Jon. I need my fix
why you keep leaving me on cliff hangers why
NOT ENOUGH CHUNKING
Poland Can into Denmark?
Hey Jon, try putting the word Denmark or danish in the title of your videos. I think it may boost the number of Danes finding your video.
For Christ's Sake TAKE BRUGES!
hello jon
What if the Aztecs invades Poland
I'm almost certain New World factions physically can't counter-invade.
Many A True Nerd just ask admiral jon to sail over and ask them to help
This isn't CK2. If only it was.
Many A True Nerd im pretty sure they're good swimmers
Jon, I think your economy collapsed because you lost your greatest trade partner... Poland
or he just moved his capital in the wilderness
Ztac dex or both
woop woop
Please do a medieval total war 2 live stream. Like this comment so Many A True Nerd can see!
Jon I love you but this campaign is so cringe... I love it!!! It's like watching a kid you knew growing and maturing into a tactical genius
where are our 1 hour long episodes that we were promised at the start? especially now that there are only 2 episodes a week :(
I will never get over the fact that Papal sounds like PayPal.
Ummm, it doesn't papal rhymes with staple (paypul) PayPal is said as "pay pal" without vowel mods ... yeah I know English pronunciation is complicated crap
I feel like when Jon's playing games he knows well, he get complacent/cocky and creates problems for himself.
and even shorter than last part :(
Thucydides.
I thought The Ypathi's had Peasantwerp
WU!!
