This was the glory days of Laiths hair.

"Laith, I am sorry. They came to me with an offer. I couldn't refuse. " "Who, the germans?" "Everyone. I am so sorry." "Everyone? What is the offer?" "You." - Imperators Arcanus and Laithus, the 2nd of February, 394 A. D. The day of the Great Betrayal. The day the Roman Empire fell.

Honestly, that last little maneuver by Arcanus was probably the most Roman tactic of all.

Laith also lacked governing capacity for this hair so he couldn't control it all

Arcanus: "Is this what it felt like to be a real Roman emperor?" Laith: "I think so. I think this is genuinely as close as we're ever going to get." Arcanus: Hold my wine...

he really went all in, even replicated the surprisingly common roman civil wars and east vs west rivalry. what an asshole, just like real life!

The corruption finally got to Arcanus in the end and forced him to go full Roman.

if it was the real Roman Empire has soon as you tried to stabilize the realm and make a little bit of Progress you will have been killed be the Praetorian Guard

Well RIP Roman Empire. Again maybe soon we will see Charlemagne's empire. Go Franks.

That was awesine, kinda wish you guys had a similar ending except for the peacing out, instead one leads east one leads west as intact as possible, to reclaim the empire while fighting the barbarians off

One of the best videos I've seen in a while thank you Laith

No but, all jokes aside. It has nothing to do with showering, I guess it does, but I could have avoided it only by showering 3 times a day. So heres the thing, heating in my room is so fucking bad that it goes from alaska to deepest depts of hell in like 30 min(which makes you sweat). Usually I avoid that problem by not turning it on(thats why im used to being cold, and now kinda prefer it), but I got sick, and when you get sick your body goes "wait a minute, lets burn this bitch out of our body" which makes you sweat even more. And to top it all off, since im not moving at all, accumulation of sweat is more probable, in certain areas that is. Now these things should be private, but you know, something something controlling family and a possesive ex.

Haven't watched Laith in two months and now he has a hairstyle that makes me concerned about him.

I know the game had to end at some point but if Arcanus didn't throw in the towel you guys probably would've held

Arcanus was such a menace in this video, first stacking corruption and then giving the germanic tribes everything. Not that I mind of course. Rome had to fall, sorry Laith. Also Baldurs Gate 3 is great, so his opinion is based. I wonder who he romanced tho? 🤔

Money was ticking down at 300 a month, every flipped province gives the barbarians 10k manpower, we were out of manpower and had exploited every province, the mercenary stacks were out of manpower, the 80kish troops we had trapped on the British Isles were able to move through the north sea (which we could not see cause of TI therefore bypassing our blockade) and were slowly filtering into Germany. Also their manpower and mercs were recovering much faster than ours and it cost a lot of men in attrition to siege for us. Basically we did not have an effective win condition, so even if we could have lasted another 10-15 years, I thought it best to jump ship right away. Beating 15 players all deathwarring, who were finally properly unifying their troops, is pretty difficult. I guess the reason is that I'd get peace if I went east and left Laith to die in the west. This kinda synergized with Laith defending the west, and me defending the east the whole game in my mind. If I am being honest tho, I did it cause it would be fun and a good way to end the video lmao. Laith's reaction to getting turned into swiss cheese was priceless. I'd do it again if given the chance.
