Video Transcript:
The Mongols: introducing, the first doomstacks of the Medieval era, who will possibly: lead the world’s slowest parade, through Russia, or Anatolia
England: With enough English longbows in your army, you can make every battle, feel like Agincourt
France: If those English pig dogs attack me one more time, I will sail over to their little island, and re invent their language a second time
Scotland: Unfortunately for Scotland, You tubers compete to set records for how fast one can lose their campaign
Spain: Be careful, who you call ugly: in high school
Portugal: You either die a knock-off of Spain, or live long enough, to establish a colony in the British Isles
The Aztecs: At the start of your campaign, consider yourself lucky, that the Aztec empire and its ginormous military, are an ocean away
Moors: The resources near Timbuktu, will single handedly fund, our enormous military budget
Sicily: No matter where you run, or where you hide, the Sicilian computer will find you, and it will declare war-on-you
Egypt: Introducing the faction, who’s capital, will be targeted for more crusades and Jihads, than Jerusalem
Timurids: I wonder how many people who purchased this game, have played a campaign long enough, to know the Timurids exist
The Turks: You will ironically, evolve from being the greatest existential threat to Europe, to becoming it’s savior from armageddon
the Byzantine Empire: In the next episode of everyone hates the Byzantines, watch how this former glory, attempts to fight a war, on every imaginable front
Russia: You might crush peasants in Feudal Bretonnia, but in Soviet Novgorod peasants crush you
Hungary: It’s amazing, how we can remain invisible to the enemy, when we sport the most conspicuous colors, on our armor
Poland: Our infantry and archers may age like milk, but our cavalry, will age like wine
Denmark: It seems that Denmark, has enough armor piercing capabilities, to be able to repel, a SkyNet invasion
The Holy Roman Empire: The award, for the most disappointing units in the total war series, belongs to these guys
Milan: Introducing the faction, that has made players more salty, than the Dead Sea
Venice: Kids these days, will never appreciate the value, of frequent balance changes, and patches
The Papal States: Excommunicating is my business, and business is good!

Argumenter_Respecter legit had never lasted so long in any campaign before, usually either I’m losing and I just call it quits or win really fast (within the first 100-150 turnsish) and I had only ever seen the mongols. You can imagine my shock, when during the first playthrough with the Byzantine empire, how my every attempt to spread was thwarted by Venice or German tribes or Egypt, when the bloody tirmuirds came knocking on my front door near Russian territory! It was like, maybe turn 150-200 something.. yeah.. I was finished... killed plenty of their family members with my royal assassins tho who had been busy with clean-up duty in the south after the Mongolian invasion.. -.-

the most fun faction IMO. you gotta either win quickly, or get incredibly strong defensively. I use my navy to have a quick reaction force and center my cities around Nicaea, which I turn into a vast fortress, garrisoned with top tier archers and vagrian guards. my best army moves as one with the ships and responds to the various costal cities I have, who are garrisoned just enough with large walls to hold against a siege for several turns until my relief forces arrive by boat to destroy the attackers. rinse and repeat. as for the mongols and timurids, if they go the Russia route, then you simply fend them off from the north with a shield, they will typically stay away. if however they come from bablyon, then you are in for a fight, and had better put all your resources into fortifying Anatolia in preparation for their onslaught.

Here's my take for empire: Britain: you'll spend so much time mucking around in India and America you'll completely ignore the European continent. France: Enjoy being a powerhouse until Prussia and Britain decide to deal with you. Them or your hungry peasants. Spain: Regardless of how big your empire is, your leaders are so inbred you might as well have a sandwich govern the nation. United Provinces: Have fun occupying every trade port on the map, because you're not making money any other way. Prussia: A country so obsessed with a land army, you'll never build a single boat as you conquer Europe like 250 years too early. Austria: Suffering from being torn apart by Protestants, Muslims, Orthodox, and even other Catholics. Poland Lithuania: your best unit in a game of 18th century warfare is spear wielding cavalry, proving that Poland is hated by CA. Russia: Your economy is based on hordes of serfs farming mediocre land until you turn them into mediocre soldiers to fight mediocre wars. Ottomans: Despite having a massive empire and a wide variety of units, your army still thinks they have to besiege Constantinople. Sweden: A country that always seems to find itself in war with half of the world no matter what they do. Marathas: For people who enjoyed medieval 2 so much, have fun playing again with swordsmen, elephants, and garbage artillery. USA: Turn a deep hatred of the British into an unsrippa force because nobody bothers to defend their colonies.

The Portugese are the real Irishmen, everyone knows that. Was doing a playthrough as Scotland recently, and Milan decided Scotland had survived far too many turns.

And I had been paying uncle Pope each turn. Boy the tables turned when my army crossed the Mediterranean and the Pope called a Crusade on Milan. Lmao

As a Denmark-main, can confirm we've saved Europe from miscalculated Skynet time travellers in at least 4 campaigns, and yet the Pope still ex-communicates us for defending ourselves against the HRE.
Very good, well done.
HRE still has their imperial knights with their maces, reiters and some other good units. Also a cool color scheme, which can't be said about Hungary and the Byzantines.

Imperial knights have poor morale, though. But teutons rock and so do mounted gothic knights. The dismounted ones, however, have sucky stats. Not only do they not use shields, they also have a lower defence skill than sword+shield infantry.

its challenging, but ive played as the popes bitch before, and ensured that every pope came from my faction, and I wielded the excommunication against all my enemies. sucks because sometimes you have to stop an effective attack but when you have perfect standing in the popes eyes, you can get away with a lot, and have free troops to boot.

Played russia once . Conquered poland and parts of germany, and reached a standstill because germany, hungary, and england ( i know) just kept on attacking me. Later on, mongols arrived and set their eyes on me( obviously). I did something i never saw myself do in any total war campaign. I abandoned all of my settlements, assembled all my armies together, built a massive fleet, and resettled in brittania. It was the ideal destination for resettlement for 3 good reasons 1 rich and easily defensible land 2 there were almost no enemy soldiers( all of their armies were in scandinavia) 3 they had it coming after harrasing me for 30+ turns. One of my most memorable campaigns as of yet
