Hey everyone, sorry I completely fucking disappeared for almost a year, shit got really busy finishing my degree and I just didn't have the time or energy to do any channel stuff. But I'm back now, and I'm going to be uploading some more shit over the coming weeks/months (for real this time), so stay tuned. Also welcome to the ~9000 new subs who got on board since the last upload, hope it was worth the wait.

It's possible to retain most of your territory on this difficulty. What I did is this: I abandoned Briton after seeing a new full stack Viking invasion force every turn- didn't lose much income (except the lead I think). Then, and this was important, I slowly upgraded the garrison in every border settlement. I haven't played in a while, but I think there's a few buildings like garrison quarters or something that cost like 800 per turn, but you get 6 or 8 soldiers in the settlement- you can defend against 2x2000 soldiers easily enough, and it makes the 1x1000 stacks a breeze to fight through; just hold them at the choke point, hammer them with missiles, and slam into their behind with the light cav. But, you do need to fight every single city battle to make this work- losing cities will start chain reactions of disorder, and it becomes very hard to fight back once that happens. It is also very important to have a legion in each region- I had one in africa to quell the desert lords, one in spain to police all the rebellions, and pretty much the other 4 were split along the eastern border. I slowly improved public order by way of constructing all the various improvement buildings- this is really important as investment in the early game, while a nightmare militarily, will set you up for the long term. What ended up happening is Attila pillaged about for 50 years, too scared of my now veteran forces to comit to war. The entire world hated me, and I got the big diplomatic pentalty, but after 100 years of watching me cut down any rebellion, the war notifications stopped coming and I ushered in an age of peace. WRE was a societal marvel- public sanitation, ample food supply and good career opportunities for young men in my ruthless rebellion police machine :P

I come back to this masterpiece of a series randomly... it’s truly a work of art this series.

[alvaroruiz]

Every once in a while I go back to these series, they are one of the bests Total War videos put there.

That assassination plot made me cackle deep into the night. Keep being amazing Yrridian. Pleeease make a memelicious Attila vid that calls for CA to give us the update we deserve. Attila needs to rise again. If there's anyone who can do it and spew forth belly laughs and gain attention, it is you.

[Jordan-nsov]

I never thought you would complete this, but now it is done..

>Retreat all you forces to Italy asap
>Destroy every building for profit and them raze every city except in Italy, Sicily, Corsica and maybe Carthage.
>Turtle up in your forces in Italy, only defending the Alps.
>Eventually start to do small raids in enemy territory. Try to pick off german enemies one by one. Destroy their cities and eliminate their faction. No need to expand your border now, just raze their province.
>When you fell strong and rich enough, start a slow process of colonization.
>Late game, prepare for the Huns

In my game I even managed to ally myself with a TON of german factions. I started by liberating one of them, which made them my friend ofc, and them made easier to become friends with their own friends. From that, I started buying gifts for one faction, while attacking and destroying it's enemies.

In the end I had a network of german allies between me and eastern europe, and when the Huns started to invade I barely fought a single battle in my own territory, always fighting with my allies stacks in their cities.

It was a easy win, on my very first Attila Campaign, and on Very Hard

Thanks for having the absolute best playlist on Youtube. This is it, chief.

[weisswald]

I love these classical compositions in such videos! They are stunningly fit to the video!

[lynxharpthorn]

i love the 'revolver to the head' meme. It's my favorite and totally appropriate for this mess of a campaign

[RedLenses_]

This is actually the highest form of art ever conceived by man.

[mobileslug]

Just got this game, decided i wanted to play as rome. Oh god what a mistake

[serkelet]

The "this is fine" meme gets me every time.

[diegopozas]

This is superb editing. Congrats. (Great music as well).

[cazperzero]

This is the single most glorious video I have seen this year

[AndrewJ]

The 50 minute interturn hits hard. Too true.
