Guess poor in the sense that its not so readily avaiable and as wide a selection as lets say the French has. England also has poor cavalry according to the game.
@@darthplagueis13 usually they were used together (bow and crossbows i mean) just like how bows remained very relevant during the early gunpowder days. They had more range, were cheaper and could arch, which is very important.
As a child who could not speak English, i played Milian extensively in the Custom battle's mode (Poor me could not figure out how to unlock them in the Campain!), because they were green, and my favorite color is green.
Americans green uniform in PS2's Call of Dutys, Grove Street Families green, Brazilians in Civilization 5, always picking green as the default color for nations in Age of Empires, Mythology and Rise of Nations, Milan's green in Medieval 2, Shimazu clan in Shogun 2 except no Brutii, always a Julii by heart! Rome just fits being red and Italy green, anything else feels wrong GREEN SUPREMACY
"You have to kill that faction, to play the faction." Blew my child mind as well. I never thought you could play the other factions untill i beat a game and started new.
Nothing really would happen. If the pope literally had a sword and was about to strike him down, you think he would just take it? Heck no, he's a soldier for god's sake.

A new discovery that could change the course of total war content- Pilps. This creator may look innocent enough but when brought to quality video editing it explodes with views that is unmatched. This channel will make other creators obsolete, and render UA-cam algorithm near useless. It would be wise to subscribe to its use on UA-cam.
That battle between you and the 3 full stack Hungarian armies has got to be the closest battle I have seen you fight in Med 2. Maybe there are others but I don't think I have ever seen one that left you with so few men left by the end. Great video like always.
That Hungarian diplomat riding back with the accepted counteroffer when he was sent for simple trade rights: "I will either be executed or made a lord."
You could do one for Bactria in Rome 2 as it is quite the meme: - No public order penalties from cultures - Rich as hell from silk road - Macedonian Pikemen - Persian Archers - Steppe Horse Archers - Cataphracts - Cataphract Elephants - What else do you really need? - Is obviously the true successor state to Alexander
A new discovery that coud change the course of warfare - Gunpowder . This dark powder may look innocent enough,but when brought to spark it explodes with a force the is unmatched. This terrible weapon will make armour absolete, and render castle walls nearticulat useless . It woud be wise to be the first to master its use in war . -the best line in this game
iirc, the crazy thing about crossbow spam is how well it performs in both manual and auto resolve and for some reason the AI doesn't think it will so they are more eager to go on the offensive unfavorably against you more often.
So, a way of Risorigmento of the medieval era, and an inspiration to Mussolini's vision of the Third Rome? But there is an imperfection: you haven't moved the capital to Rome yet
Probably the easiest campaign ive played, you have crossbow militia and pike militia after like 2/4 turns and thats basically your whole army composition finished before turn 10 im sticking with this mod i use and most likely going to switch to other total wars along with other games, i want to eventually be able to just play what i want, hopefully
Milan is awesome - one of my fav to play. Think it is the only faction that very viably operates purely out of cities. Like there's genuinely zero anything I would want from a Castle that it has - with maybe the exception of getting swordsmen guild early by spamming swordsmen, then converting the castle to a city. And you get the best crossbow unit in the game as a militia, best early game spear militia, special cavalry units from the castles etc. etc. EDIT: Also holy crap how many trebuchet units do you run with? Or is that a mod to increase total unit capacity in an army? Same for placing stakes for genosee crossbowmen, is that a mod? I never seen any of Milan's units be able to do that, thought it was only for English Longbows
Whenever i play this game, within around 20 turns i get the Venice: Faction Destroyed and Naples: Faction Destroyed pop-ups and i think to myself "Milan, they're at it again"
Pilp out here doing 3 things: Making some of the most well edited videos out there Making you want to play the Total War games he's playing even if you cant do it as well as he can and showing that even the worst of the nations to play can win the game with hardwork... and some willingness to suffer I tip my hat off to you, sir
Milanese witchery i say! How you made pikemen work??! Early Risorgimento eh? And it fits so much since Milan is green No matter how many times i see the gunpowder, crusades, jihads little event cutscenes never gets old, nostalgia is real
I remember my first game I played a Venice: I want on Crusade and conquered the entire Holy Land but in Italy I was constantly on the denfensive to protect myself against Milan
As always, good. Thank you for continuing to make videos on Total War. By the way, I wanted to ask, will there be videos on factions from mods and add-ons? That is: Lithuania, Wales, Ireland, the Teutonic Order, Novgorod and others...

What's the army build looking like for this video?
@@Pilps
I'll have a look tomorrow. o7
That Hero Wars promo threw me tf off lol
Ah yes Milan. The "Poor Offensive Cavalry" faction that has Offensive Cavalry as a special unit
Also the best militia cavalry
Maybe they are poor in a sense of not having shoes under the sabatons...
heh heh, crossbow cavalry go brrrrrrrrr
Guess poor in the sense that its not so readily avaiable and as wide a selection as lets say the French has. England also has poor cavalry according to the game.
They are poor in the terms of wealth i guess
Commander: "So you captured the Pope alive like I asked?"
The troops: "Umm..."
"... He resisted. We had to put him down."
@@MartmeisterPaladinHaven He reached for his Pope hat, he gave us no choice.
"You Know I Had to Do It to Em"
"Signore, He wouldn'ta droppa his Papal Morning Stara..."
We made him look like a Porcupine instead
Others: NO! You cant use crossbow! This is the tool of devil
Milan: Hahaha. The crossbow go pew pew
The Chinese did
To be fair, that crossbow ban was widely ignored. Almost everyone primarily used crossbows, except for the English who were longbowmaxxing.
I just think they are neat

Imagine being the one spearman on the bridge who kills the Pope. In the Middle Ages. A time where catholic fanaticism was at it's strongest.....
Poor bastard would be cooked, I guess?
Not such a big deal when you remember Phillip "The Fair" of France arrested and "roughed up" a Pope.
Nothing really would happen. If the pope literally had a sword and was about to strike him down, you think he would just take it? Heck no, he's a soldier for god's sake.
He was the brave among cowards…

Milan?
“Pilps. Let’s cook Barcelona in the champions league”
Hope you enjoyed!
Fuck me Pilps how many Popes did you kill this playthrough 😂😂😂😂.
Average for Milan
Not enough I would say.
A price too pay for uniting Italy...
I lost count in the end, it was way more in the actual campaign than shown in the video aha

Pikes and Crossbowman, sounds like Mount and Blade Warband Rhodoks for me
Rhodoks are green too, mind you
Rhodoks are actually inspired by the medieval Italian city states army.

Why does this not have more views?!
Beautiful work of art as always pilps❤
Close to 20 years and this game is still gorgeous
*_pike & shot warfare before it was a thing_*
Crossbow and Pikes go BRRRRRRRRRR
So that's why they keep kicking everyone's ass... their military tactics are like 500 years into the future
This ain't Milan Experience This is Backstab Experience 🗿
The same
Same thing aha
Ere comes bessy, 10:58
Great stuff as always Pilps.
Breaking alliances to attack: Authentic Milan.
Idk why but the past few games I’ve played Milan has been pretty chill. It’s Sicily sailing around the Mediterranean attacking me as soon as possible.
The long wait has ended
Hope you enjoyed!
"Do they hold the crossbow with great gesture?"
“Its unwise to praise the day before sunset but… PRAISE OUR LORD”
7:45
The Pope: I have an army and the Kingdom of God, what do you have?

Ahh the crossbow... The gun before the gun. The Chinese were probably geeking on some good shit when they invented it
Crossbows go BRRRRRRRRRRRR
This man is a total war legend
that square formation was a piece of art

There is a certain charm about the faction that makes the crap Militia stronger.
Uhhhh... Something something backstabbing something something
The average Milanese brain thought
@@Pilps You plan on doing the Expansions next?
"Milan is so powerful!"
Ok, listen up everyone, you primitive armored tinheads! This is my ballista!
CROSSBOWS GO BRRRRRRRRRR
The last siege shots with the cannons and the city in ruin goes hard af
A magical medieval milanese adventure from the merry memelord!
CROSSBOWS GO BRRRRRRRRRR
The first five seconds had my sides hurting from lol. Milan is such a nuisance in this game as AI but in the players hands, it turns into a monster.
11:30 Damm Pilps not only killed the ai but also the fps. 😂
Medieval 2 is sadly notorious for having bad framerates when the walls get damaged/collapse in sieges sadly aha
So, a way of Risorigmento of the medieval era, and an inspiration to Mussolini's vision of the Third Rome? But there is an imperfection: you haven't moved the capital to Rome yet
The faction with the original doomstack unit.
They're one of the hardest faction to start as
Also you should do all of these over again in Azumi's Total Vanilla Beyond mod.
Probably the easiest campaign ive played, you have crossbow militia and pike militia after like 2/4 turns and thats basically your whole army composition finished before turn 10
im sticking with this mod i use and most likely going to switch to other total wars along with other games, i want to eventually be able to just play what i want, hopefully
15:20 the best defensive battle ever... What an epic defense formation
I just rewatched the extended edition of the lord of the rings trilogy. So I liked that beginning bit.
Legend! Thank you
Bastards in a half-shell, Milan Power!
Crossbows go brrrrrrrrr
*playing as Milan* look at me cpu, now i am the constant backstabber.
CROSSBOWS GO BRRRRRRRRRR
So when can we soon expect Portugal, Sicily, The Moors, or Russia?
All factions planned
I'm glad you still upload Total War. You make the games look so easy. It's really impressive how good you are at it.
Thank you!
6:59 Pope Innocent XDDD
I wouldn't be surprised if John Browning time traveled to make the crossbow for the Milanese at this point.
heh heh, CROSSBOWS GO BRRRRRRRRRR
Feel like your editing has reached another level Mr Pilps! Great video 👍
I love these, please keep doing them, and include more memes 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Since you're doing all factions with Vanilla Kingdoms, I can't wait to see Wales Experience and it be a whole lot of archers and elf memes.

Bro is back with another banger!
We have waited so long, and you reward us for our patience thank you Pilps.
Hope you enjoyed!
Pope: You are hereby Excommunicated
Milan: Oh no! Anyway *becomes the Pope*
So these guys were the inspiration for the Rhodoks
bro betrayed everyone 😭🙏 btw the battle against the Hungarians at 27 min mark just looks so cool I gotta play again
Finalyyyyy my home town
Hope you enjoyed!
Whenever i play this game, within around 20 turns i get the Venice: Faction Destroyed and Naples: Faction Destroyed pop-ups and i think to myself "Milan, they're at it again"
2:52 large and in charge (also green) , definitely Ork thing👍

Pikes, crossbows, and prepared positions win medieval wars.
I think this video had all the Top 10 Anime Betrayals in it. Well played!
Milan and betrayal, two things that can't be separated in M2TW
Ah yes. Cheaterland, my favorite civ in Total War.
hell yeah my yearly dose of medieval 2 meme uploaded, thank you pilps
CROSSBOWS GO BRRRRRRRRRR
Ah! Yes the classic "pike and bolt" Tactic of the milanese.
I am a newbie to the game, and I am currently playing my second ever campaign, as Milan. Very convenient timing
Good luck!
@ Thanks!

Early Risorgimento eh? And it fits so much since Milan is green
No matter how many times i see the gunpowder, crusades, jihads little event cutscenes never gets old, nostalgia is real
This dude spends like 60 turns in his little box building up an extremely powerful army and releases it like an unstoppable horde of mongols

Ah yes, Milan. The "Half your army is dead before they can get to mine" faction :P
This guy gets it 🏹
Ah the eternal backstabber
CROSSBOWS GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
At one point at 16:31 i thought it was Napoleon total war whit those line formations
Nobody does it like Pilps. Always look forward to your new videos
Thank you!
As always, good. Thank you for continuing to make videos on Total War. By the way, I wanted to ask, will there be videos on factions from mods and add-ons? That is: Lithuania, Wales, Ireland, the Teutonic Order, Novgorod and others...
Ohh Ireland and Teutonic are neat!
Just wish there was a mod to change their Scottish accent.
Yes, in the mod i use all the european, middle eastern kingdoms are in the base campaign as i play
Lacks the best key to win : no powder, only horsemen
dude, the crossbowmen for milan are so cool when they turn around to face shields while they reload. (i dont play m2tw so i dont know anything)
very cool and fun!
