He was an extremely reasonable guy. Even with Japan his entire thing was "yeah you tried to kill me but i understand it so no hard feeling about it, want to take over the world together with me?"
That Micro China must have been doing to simultaneously defend, and later counterattack, on four fronts (even if Korea was more 'seasonal' in nature) is genuinely so impressive, and Poland coming in to stabilise Russia was also cool.
Spud's series have had some noteworthy villains (not bad dudes usually they just played a role). Off the top of my head I can think of American Bloodbath - Plastic's Gran Colombia (redeemed and supplanted by Aragon Italy) Poland series - VirtualRock's Russia Bavaria series - Crono's Joker Burgundy Hungary series - the universe itself Bolton's China is a good addition to the rogues gallery
Virtual Rock kept trying to come to a peaceful friendship until it was too late (took western expansion). I wouldn't call him the "villian". Spud insisted on fighting, and he did what he had to do in order to survive given the circumstances.
Bernard is as always quite the entire game until out of nowhere comes in and changes the game entirely. How can one man be so powerfull? Truly a testiment to the great man of history theory
Loved the series, it had some top quality music selection. First few episodes and the last two episodes were some of my favourite out of all your series. Thanks for continuously pumping out excellent content Spudgun.
39:00 That is BTW accurate, checked and there is only 30km connecting Korea to Asia. That landbridge is next to the "Heaven Mountain", the East-West line starting from Chongjin meeting with the other Korean province on that triangle shape.
Can already tell this is going to be BAAAAASSSED Edit: It was indeed Based. Great work Spudgun on yet another series. Looking forward to seeing whatever lies ahead 🫡
well this is the first Campaign finale i willl not be able to talk with my brother about wierd feeling. thanks spud for putting ut so many interesting and sometimes very autistic storys
Boltun wasn't really able to use his numerical superiority on any of the fronts. I wonder why he didn't keep putting troops up in Siberia? Sure, its useless land to occupy, but that's where his numerical advantage would always give him the ability to outflank wherever the coalition's line ended. And if he occupied Siberia it'd be a good route to funnel troops from the core back down around to Central Asia - especially since his second biggest disadvantage were the deserts of Xinjiang that form a huge bottleneck for transporting troops, while attritioning them on top of that.
China and Spain, incredible runs! Thanks for another campaign Spud. Personally, I’m dreaming of a DM campaign next! With a competent Scandi and accepting both French & English.
Very much shot himself in the foot when he made the rooster. He probably expected some more moves from Spudgun but the inital War crippled Japan and forced Spud to essentially accept the status quo hug box of Asia. Bolton's light cheating and superior experience compared to the other China player made the whole region a forgone conclusion.
Crazy how Japan is like the most boring strong tag, this is what, your third or fourth real war? Would be interesting to see you play an Ethiopia campaign.
@@SpudgunOfficial there's nothing more true for a spud series than that you will find some way to make the ottomans constantly go to war with you so i have faith
Great series as always super fun watch! That being said, you probably shouldn't allow player hosts in the future, there was some really blatant host tyranny in this series. Nevertheless, was still very funny.
This is a really good emotional payoff for a more low-key series, did a good job of tying up every loose-end in your own story I would only critique the length of the mid-story, there were good character moments in there, and at the same time long stretches where everything was fuzzy because you weren't in the heat of the action. Even with the ""boring"" bits, it was a solid experience, and your editing gets better and better.
Thought i'd miss one didn't you? "Wielding his blood sword, A hero who fights with pride, and slays with honor. He is a brave soul, Drawing blood only for peace, Never for Vengence. Even if he falls, In the midst of battle, His name lives on." The Poet
@@theorixlux 1960 assassination of Inejirou Asanuma. It happened on live TV, a teenager charged onto the stage and stabbed him with a sword. Asanuma was a socialist, and advocated against an alliance with America.
Very strange that Spudgun acknowledges it in the way that he does. Just an off-handed remark at the end of a sentence dedicated to thanking those who played. Hardly even 10 words. idk, i'm sure he didn't know the guy very well, but idk he could have at least dedicated an entire sentence to it over a black screen- literally *anything*

Respect to this China for recognizing he won the campaign already and decided to spice it up by creating a grand coalition to oppose him
bolton seems nice to play with
He was an extremely reasonable guy.
Even with Japan his entire thing was "yeah you tried to kill me but i understand it so no hard feeling about it, want to take over the world together with me?"
@@francesco8000 Hey, kid. Now I know we fought against each other, but... Do you wanna go on a wild ride?
Yeah I said It before, Bolton Is the Person I would play with more in the Spud expanded universe
exactly!
The fact that China had the highest mil tech is cursed
thats kinda cursed bro !
@ -100,000,000 social credit 🇨🇳
The flashback to the “It’s his weakness, not mine” clip went so hard. Awesome series!
Part 10 pretty much the most important episode, and it's the least viewed :(
Foreshadowing is a narrative device in wh....

Spud's series have had some noteworthy villains (not bad dudes usually they just played a role). Off the top of my head I can think of
American Bloodbath - Plastic's Gran Colombia (redeemed and supplanted by Aragon Italy)
Poland series - VirtualRock's Russia
Bavaria series - Crono's Joker Burgundy
Hungary series - the universe itself
Bolton's China is a good addition to the rogues gallery
Don't forget Spudgun being the villain in the Russia series
@@eamonlauster1181 Who do you think was the biggest villain of venice series? Loco's skill issues?
My favorite villain was GoC in the scandi series
i'd also say the ottomans and its wide variety of players in the bavaria series were definitely one of the main villains
Virtual Rock kept trying to come to a peaceful friendship until it was too late (took western expansion). I wouldn't call him the "villian". Spud insisted on fighting, and he did what he had to do in order to survive given the circumstances.

He is quite quiet, yet his actions speak the loudest

>Miltant takeover
>Anti-miltary
What is this meme?!
Classic purge of anti revolutionary elements of military
they are true to their word
They don't wanna fight no mo
No war but class war, bb.
Pacifism is about fighting to end all wars innit

Thank you!
the end map actually looks like a good hoi4 alternative timeline setup
We Need to contact modders asap
Probably one of the best spain runs ive seen. Props to him
I mean its easy when you put a mentally challenged guy on your biggest rival after he beat your ass. And stack the roster in general
@@mememachine6022 oh no doubt. Still, no one else dog piled his ass.
@@mememachine6022Frank cooking the roster legit pissed me off

Based? Based on what?
Wild that you used that japanese assassination clip in the beggining
Need a Burgundy campaign
IDK if Spud is Burgundy Material
Nope, Romania is next to keep up with his trend of using the morally good countries from that one conflict that happened once.
@@mkultrafondler9159 LOL well said so true
Oh my God, such a good idea!
thank you for reminding me why i'm never playing a lizard game again
Yea fuck lizard
well
this is the first Campaign finale i willl not be able to talk with my brother about
wierd feeling.
thanks spud for putting ut so many interesting and sometimes very autistic storys
@ichduoderer1498 like, in a fucked up way? or just in a lost contact way
@@botchamaniajeezus he dead
had a sport accident last Oktober
That is tragic, I'm sorry for your loss
o7
@ichduoderer1498 oof. ripo my dude.
bernard always coming back and making things even more interesting, truly one of the best characters in spudverse
definitely muddles the reputation of drunk badfrank & lizard throughout the campaign they both seemed to have been asses to everyone.

Plus it'd give war exhaustion!

No matter what Lizard says, he stacked the shit out of roster for his benefit. Hope Russia player will stick as frequent guest to SCU
Bolton was the protagonist tbh
Bernard sacking Shanghai, then just leaving, is one of the most based things I've ever seen
The entire world forms a coalition against Boltun
Where have I seen this before...?
Thank you for another great series Spud, really enjoyed it!
You editing was top notch in this series
It’s here, it’s finally Chinover, Japan-bros.
Also, what show/movie are these Qing clips from?
The Pest (1997)
The Sino-Japanese War at Sea starring Jackie Chan
BERNARD!!
Thanks for another enjoyable series, Tatergat.
The Hugbox divided, must unite
The Hugbox united, must divide
Didn't get a notification for this one for whatever reason. Still, I've been looking forward to this.
Peak series - this was a journey to watch Mr. Spudgun
Spain actual cope when blaming Spudgun for the Chinese Hegemony
To be fair, Japan is the main person who should stop China, he just gave up immediately like most Japan players.
It's is tho spud took the easy way out even though it was really against him he should have stood his ground
Very much shot himself in the foot when he made the rooster. He probably expected some more moves from Spudgun but the inital War crippled Japan and forced Spud to essentially accept the status quo hug box of Asia.

awesome video spudgun i love you
Didn't even know you had a new series. I can't wait to catch up on six months of Vic 2 from Spud in an afternoon
Loved the series, looking forward to the next
Great stuff as always!
Thank you Spud, very cool
Now that you've done anime-land, the next step is clearly Beornia to the Holy Britannian Empire.
Instead of watching movies, I watch this.
BERNARD THE MADLAD IS BACK!
Another episode of absolute cinema! I'll include my thoughts after I've watched it.
Peter griffin
Thank you
whenever the name Bernard is said I feel fear for that man is a force like no other
Good series Spud
i've been waiting for this forever. i love this shit
nothing is funnier than them saying it's all your fault when you actually tried to prevent a hugbox
Gran colombia or Ottomans game would be sick
53:27 The polish ural legions BREAK THROUGH the mountain line into kashgar
Welcome back. I missed you.
much like, great series
Rest in Peace in Bolton, May you drink mead with your ancestors and sing songs of Bernard's glory in Sovngarde. 🍻🍺
The anticipation is crazy
The new People's regime is opposed to any and all imperial hegemony, at home and overseas.
What about India?
Crazy how Japan is like the most boring strong tag, this is what, your third or fourth real war?
Would be interesting to see you play an Ethiopia campaign.
Where do you think I’d be getting wars in an Ethiopia campaign 😄

0:31 That is absolutely diabolical, lol.
Boltun the final boss of the campaign
cool to see spud fighting together with lizard again
I will eventually come back to this; leaving this comment in my stead for the time being.
China barely was defeated, if the campaign whent on he surely would've been able to rise up again. Players were all legends tbh.
That’s true. I was kind of preparing for it to be a long struggle, but it’s still fine as an ending
Everybody drop everything! Spud has uploaded!
Bernnard the shadow creature who saves nations
Kid you not a was bitching earlier today about when the next vid was coming but this was a very nice suprise
*In total war with China, losing the land war*
*Selects more eco techs*
D:
Pretty good but imagine this war in Vic3
ngl gonna miss the music of this series
I want Aragon Italy for the next series
There was an Aragon Italy series already, if was a bit less narrative but its there
PART FINALE???!! LETS GO?
Crazy it's ending so soon but yeh fair enough this whole game has been a cluster fuck, so what's next?
Ottoman series when?
Absolute cinema
Need a Beornia Campaing !
NOOOOOOO the Emperor
Where Are we playing next UwU
I NEED IT
the dragon gets talk tuahd when it hegemons
Ottomans seems like a fun challenge
bittersweet ending
Excuse me Polish-Lithuanian Libya??? Am I in the opium den right now?
Ahhhhhhhhhhh 11:37 it’s getting worse
Spud has to start watching some movies other than star wars lmao
What about "The Sino-Japanese War at Sea" (2012)?!
worth it
Who from the roster actually died????? Wtf
Just Nobren.
@SpudgunOfficial that's sucks man, what country was he on?
@ Well he just substituted Aragon for a bit.
1:02:34 funniest part of the video
I can tell already what that old Japanese clip was from XD 0:32
I was waiting for the other guy to enter and then it cut just before.
What is it?

The most based Spudgun video I've seen

what movie is that clip from at 1:02:07
The Pest (1997)
"The Sino-Japanese War at Sea"

wait, nobren passed away?

. So spud, when are you going to make a chinese campaign?
wait, someone really died?
Suprised noone made jokes about Kyzylcum.
I called it Guzzlecum

the one thing you did forget was a final map of Africa
