When you were trying to give the settlement to Portugal you needed to offer it as a gift, otherwise the AI thinks it has nothing to offer in return, so if you want to give them something press the "offer as gift" thing or they will try to match it for it to be somewhat balanced. Also yeah I agree you should just actively destroy the army that is teleported to americas with ur own army so it doesnt bug the ships or cause a giant economic burden on the faction. Otherwise I love this new idea. Glad your back im a long time viewer and was sad to see you go for a bit because I love these games.
can't believe he doesn't know about the gift option, this is the second veteran youtuber I have seen that did this. Shows how much useful diplomacy is in med2... 🤣
34:38 "Even the Papel states joining the Jihad" man I laughed so loud, great video!!! Especially with the horde moves! Maybe you could add some more random events to the wheel? like give biggest non capital settlement to faction you spin the second time. Or, you give them the closest/furthest settlement of that 2nd faction. Other Ideas: -you could put alphabet on wheel and nuke/empty/rebel every city that starts with that letter. -randomize starting cities of the factions (if possible?)
Nicely done. The wheel of doom is a cruel and angry mistress. I can't look away. I think on a repeat, when you remove an army, teleport them to the Americas and actively destroy it with your Aztec armies, would save the buggy ships trying to pick them up and the faction wouldn't be stuck with the upkeep costs.
I think we are underselling how well Milan did before the Mongols ruined their campaign. Any AI faction taking all of France and nearly all of Germany with like 15-20 settlements by turn 80 is pretty rare and impressive.
I'd sprinkle in some benefits to the wheel, but maybe make them more rare than the doom options. Maybe consider making the destroy faction option the rarest spot to land on?
Someone has already said this, but I think a good idea for the next video might be to introduce a few benefits into the wheel. So, while the AI may be destroyed, they may also be given a gift of a full Army, 50k, or even an enemy settlement. Might add a bit of extra chaos to the mix.
If you want to give a faction a settlement for free its better to gift it to them. They usually accept if you do that. Also the reason you were able to recruit the Aztec mercenaries in russia is that it was still using the mercenary pool from before you moved the army with the console command
I think this is a fun campaign! My only suggestion, if possible, would be to make the "destroy" option on the wheel smaller than the others. That way the other chaotic options get chosen a bit more.
I tip for future wheel of doom. you should just type the control faction cheat ”control venice”. Then remove everything in the capital when playing as Venice or removing an army instead of just teleport them even though it was not a teleport option it lands on, so it won’t mess up the ai. Then just type control venice to let it go to ai again. Will avoid having to teleport and other stuff with making war. And if the city revolt it will definnetly be rebel. Also the reason heirs and kings don’t is because you don’t have characters surname. Difficult to find out unless a relative is a general and test that name. Otherwise you can find it out in the family tree when you play as the faction.
for teleporting kings/princes/khans don't use their title its not part of the character name, usually if you can find their family name ie one of the kings brothers or kids last name with the kings first name tends to work for me or just first name sometimes works
Why not adding more caos witj the wheel of fortune, but with positive options and negative options, like: 2 destructive options (destroy OR nuke capital) 2 great options (get 20000 florins OR get one rebel city, the closest city, don't matter if it's on the opposite corner XD)
@@MelkorGG It didnt look too hard to me. There is a youtube guide on how to do it. Hell, I might even give it a swing if I somehow I find time. I will try to do it in next couple of days and if I pull it off I will let you know so I could send you files needed.
@@drarsen33 That would be great, thanks. Please Message me via Discord, if you make it. When I say I need a modder, its more, I don't have the time to do any anything like this.
@@MelkorGG I have made first version but more experimentation is needed. I had to fresh install the game, i have modded the files, unlocked all factions in the file...but when I start the game only those starting few are unlocked and none of my changes are applied. Maybe i have to blitz though "tutorial campaign" to get it into sendbox mod. Shall look into it. Or maybe I can just send you changed files and you can try copying them into your version? For the first iteration I have kept the number of factions per religion but rolled which nation got which If it works out I can make full randomization
@@drarsen33 Nice, thanks. It would be best if you could get it to work first ,before I messed around with it. But, I look forwards to it. Feel free to message me on Discord at any point about this.
Hey man i am new to m2tw i am currently playing as england i have nottingham as my fortress and i am able to recruit archers from archery range but i have another fortress caen but there is no such building it doesnt even show me one to build how do i get it there and i took out scotland and now planning to take out france but hre is in alliance with them my question is if i attack france will hre attack me?
You might need to wait for the population to grow so you can upgrade the fortress in Caen- then you can build an archer range. The AI factions attack you depending on political alliances or if you're weak. So make sure you have a large army inside any settlement you think the HRE might attack.
@@roshan367 There are buildings that improve happiness and order - religious buildings, sanitation buildings, city watch. Build those or recruit armies and keep them in that city to keep public order at bay. Capturing Jerusalem gives you a happiness boost too. Lower taxes if you need to, to keep people happy.
@@roshan367characters with high chivalry will also improve public order and also help the castle/city to grow. Useful for castles where you can’t lower the tax and you can only farm so much.

Any other Wheel of Doom Ideas?
MELKOR Discord: discord.gg/nbJQtvbXDg
Rome remastered every 20 turns you spin a wheel and the faction it lands on you control for 5 turns and then you go back and wait for another 20 turns
The randomizer mod + wheel of doom ?
It's amazing after how many years and you can still make this feel like a new game
You should basically do this exact same wheel of Doom campaign but randomize all starting locations

5 minutes in it's very interesting, it could be nice to add benefits to the second wheel and roll it up multiple times early game
And the best part is you randomizing the Mongols I still think we need a campaign where all factions randomized starting location
Cool idea but its nearly impossible to do without heavy modding
I'd sprinkle in some benefits to the wheel, but maybe make them more rare than the doom options. Maybe consider making the destroy faction option the rarest spot to land on?
Can't wait to watch this one, Melkor said on his last stream that this is a really good AI only campaign, which I believe
3:17 If you move someone inside settlement, it will look like that.
I love the new wheel! I think its a lot more fun than simply destroying factions.

"I feel like a newsreader from about eight years ago"
You nailed it with this one, congrats!
This is amazing. This needs to Rome Total War too.
Ai only campaign but with huge unrest in settlements modded. It'd be chaotic. Rebellions everywhere.
The problem with that is, the ai will just stand there in cities and never move out of them, bankrupt themselves and never expand.
@@MelkorGG 😭
I want to see you add troops/armies next time!
Could even fill all their armies and cities with troops and watch them go horde mode.
If you want to give a faction a settlement for free its better to gift it to them. They usually accept if you do that. Also the reason you were able to recruit the Aztec mercenaries in russia is that it was still using the mercenary pool from before you moved the army with the console command
I love seeing weird stuff happening like Venice going to Tripoli ❤

49:40 France: HOW THE TURNING TABLES!!!
I love these videos! AI only campaigns are my favorite.
To get the names right on factions leader and heir, you need their last names, which is hard to figure out!
Poland has the best cavalry roster in the game so I'm not surprised.
I tip for future wheel of doom.
you should just type the control faction cheat ”control venice”.
Then remove everything in the capital when playing as Venice or removing an army instead of just teleport them even though it was not a teleport option it lands on, so it won’t mess up the ai.
Then just type control venice to let it go to ai again.
Will avoid having to teleport and other stuff with making war.
And if the city revolt it will definnetly be rebel.
Also the reason heirs and kings don’t is because you don’t have characters surname.
Difficult to find out unless a relative is a general and test that name.
Otherwise you can find it out in the family tree when you play as the faction.
Finally, my beloved Poland won!
51:05 "Poland have lost so much territory to the Russians"
I love when AI only campaigns become historically accurate lol
let's go - new content!
34:40 Ah of course, The Papel States joining the Jihad, did not expect that
Of course the war decleration was just a coincidance
This is way better then just destroying the faction i almost didnt watch the video becuase thats what i thought was going to happen
for teleporting kings/princes/khans don't use their title its not part of the character name, usually if you can find their family name ie one of the kings brothers or kids last name with the kings first name tends to work for me or just first name sometimes works
Americas AI campaign would be a nice change of pace
WTH melkor? You’re back?!
Wheel of Doom
I personally would've given scotland armies or resources in exchange
Venice 💪 was impressed with their dedication to getting those forces back from America
@@GGRPlays25 no man left behind 😤
the legend is back
How about a wheel of fortune? Give massive boost to the faction instead
It's pretty heartbreaking to see Venice trying to get their boys back so desperately but fail to be honest...
In the future, could you also focus on eastern Europe and the middle east earlier on? Even if its just showing settlements they've taken or whatever
The wheel of doom should have a chance for a reward...if possible it would be cool to somehow give like 50k or an army
Have posatives on the wheel too like gold or units
1991: Poland got really lucky with the Wheel of Doom.
*Medieval Trumpet Blowing* ATTENTION ALL! MELKOR HAS HEREBY POSTED A MEDIEVAL II AI VIDEO! ALL HAIL KING MELKOR!
For destroying an army, do the same thing as for capitol. Trow full stack Aztec army at them.
Because teleported army is still draining resources from faction, while doing nothing.
I suggest u make the pie charts a bit different in size, and make the "destroy" part smaller
An hour long wow!!
didnt france win the ai only campaign with the dlc factions brought in to the og campaing? or am I bugging
Possibly, but that was soo long ago
