This channel has really grown on me. I spent my Christmas watching all of these because I couldn't decide who to play. I didn't play at all, I just watched all the videos
@@pukebeard6406 it's good thing you have these type videos in a playlist. Facilitates easier sleeping and keeps RUclips from playing other people's videos once I am asleep.
My favourite thing about the last mission of varaine is that if you use the dragon heart for the immortality potion it turns you into an immortal kobold which in my game meant an additional Pu on kobildzan the miraculously formed
I can confirm that New Corveld always get these event, up to the "Anbecost of the east" or something like that, starting when you rebuild the city with the decision. Have a potion on the way out, nice little country.
Considering there local beer where I grew up called Burning River, and the reason for the name, Varaine being the land of the alchemists and meaning "Green River" makes perfect sense to me.
Your channel is one of my favorite on all of RUclips. I have spent a ridiculous number of hours watching RUclips. Thank you for pouring so much effort into all your amazing videos. Too bad Anbennar isn't more mainstream. A niche within a niche. Your content is S tier!
Really enjoy your videos friend, they're perfect for when you get home from work and don't have the energy to play but still have that anbennar itch. Hope you keep it up!
didn't click on this video as fast I could have because my brain short circuited for a second when I saw the thumbnail, anyways I'm excited to watch this
Like many things in linguistics, the meaning of "var" is heavily dependent on ✨context✨. In Elven it can mean "green", it can be short for "silvar" (meaning "forest"), it can be part of "dahvar" (meaning "divine"), and it can even be a possessive ("Varivar" means "Varilor's Forest" and "Varillen" means "Varila's Glade"). In Gerudian it can mean "spring" or it can be part of "vard" (meaning "watch" or "ward") or "vargr" (meaning "wolf"), and similarly in Orcish "gorgvar" means "wolf-rider", and that's not even getting into relatively minor Elven dialects!
Huh, I played Varaine a while back and ended up becoming Emperor and passing plenty of reforms but didn't revoke since it wasn't what I was going for. Never clicked how busted that would be with the gov reform.
@@pukebeard6406 Corvuria? I've always been interested in that uncolonized part of the map and the lore surrounding that part. Especially given Corvuria starts small and usually snowballs into being a regional power.
Corvuria is definitely a great time, ashienade too but if you like blobbing more than diplomacy Corvuria is the better pick. Plus some of ashienade's missions can be very tedious since they require a bunch of anbennarian countries to have the vampire estate but you have to wait 5 years inbetween spreading it and if you fail you still need to wait
here is my comment for thé algorithm! my last playthrough was the hyennas on the sea (didnt like alot cus i hate sea hopping and thousands isle to colonize). Feel like I will love this one tho!
I have a question what is your best dwarven hold for a fun game? At the moment i play amildir to create dwarven empire but i would like to see your opinions. If you think some other tag offers a better experience i am ready to listen.
It‘s tough to say. There are so many now and they really depend on your knowledge of the game and the tolerance for nonesense. Krakdhumvror is quite popular, but a slow start can mess up your game and cause frustration. Verkal Dromak amd Hul az Krakazol are surreal and very fun, but have very high difficulty. I‘d say Segdihr might be a good middle of the road, or maybe Khugdihr as well. You get to interact with the outside of the mountain but not a hard expansion. Ovdal Lodhum can also be interesting, but it relies a bit too much on the AI doind some smart things, so it can be a bit hit or miss.
@@pukebeard6406 thank you for the response i want a more militaryly superiour hold either through missions or ideas. Can u give me a good militaryly able hold which also can expand good. I know i took lots of your time sorry for that
@@kml6482 Oh, no worries. Mithradhum is pretty militaristic. Also Segdihr and Orlghelovar's missions give them elite armies, but in little numbers. But I think the best and easiest for the moment is Orlazam-az-Dihr, to the right of Almdihr. They get stupid strong and cheap cavalry and dominate the battlefield with them.
I was actually thinking about it, but the Magisterium I feel is very important when you play as literally anyone else due to their awesome tower project, while playing as the Magisterium themselves ends up not being that interesting.
@@luka.pilasanovic Ah, I see! Most province modifyers are lost on conquest in Anbennar, but the Magisterium tower is one that is not lost. At its maximum level, it gives 10% all power cost reduction, in addition to some other bonuses and is super valuable to have and to conquer.
@@pukebeard6406 The sheer tale from Orcs turning from raiders to protectors and paladins of humans is such a well done twist on compared to other Orc states

Welcome! I hope to be a ‚going to sleep channel‘ someday. 😋
@@pukebeard6406 After a long day of university and work your videos help me to sleep, so you might already be one!
@@PunishedMushu I can confirm this its so nice to fall asleep to its so relaxing
@@pukebeard6406 Oh you absolutely are. You've got a super nice voice and your longer videos are actually quite soothing

"This my student is the Pheonix Jadd Pill and will grant you immortality"
"Don't u mean the Pheonix Jade Pill"
"DID I STUTTER?!"
The Jadd pill‘s side effects include uncontrollable dancing!
My favourite thing about the last mission of varaine is that if you use the dragon heart for the immortality potion it turns you into an immortal kobold which in my game meant an additional Pu on kobildzan the miraculously formed
That‘ amazing! I love it!

Hooray!
Been here since your Black Demesne video, love your storytelling. You made me pick up the mod, never looked back since.
Awesome! Welcome to the club! 😁
The only youtuber I actively stop what I'm doing and watch their videos as soon as they come out. Thank you for the continuously amazing content.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Imagine being so chad you name your elven city "green green"

Green green! Who‘s there? It‘s the elves, open up!

Is Varaine elven Cleveland?
@@pukebeard6406 Evidentially.
Puke, you make some amazing content! I’m so excited for the day you blow up!
I don’t want to DIE!!!

Will do. ^_^
You are the channel I watch my 9pm cereal to whenever you upload and I mean that as the highest praise possible
Good morning, sir!
Your channel really is fantastic. Thanks for another great video!
Much love, Julian!
Some coffee, snowing outside, Pukebeard on youtube = Perfect sunday :)
Lil‘ cosy alchemy right there.

YESSS, hey man glad to see another video from you!!!
Goooood morning!
Yay, a new Pukebeard video. I like this series a lot, so please have a comment for the algorithm.
Thank you sir. My sincerest heart emoji.
"I have a special relationship with this color, but who knows", good one 🤢. Keep up the great videos.
Haha! Thank!
I am playing as Varainé rn, A good idea at the start is to ally Ibevar so you can vassalize Silverforge early on and steal the electorate from them
Makes sense. I deliberately ignored the empire for most of the game but that‘s an awesome idea.

Neeeerd! 😋
I love this stuff though.
Damn, now I have to blast Green River songs while playing Varainé
Ueeeeeey! I swear i blasted CCR while writing this.
Huh, I played Varaine a while back and ended up becoming Emperor and passing plenty of reforms but didn't revoke since it wasn't what I was going for. Never clicked how busted that would be with the gov reform.
Potions for everyone!
Love your videos
I can't wait for Sarhal(Swamp troll update lol)
Me too. If only for the charter company option. :))
clouded eye returning to the serpentspine... reverse greentide? LOL!
great video though! :D
Yas! Based Barumamd were also there. I guess reclaimers spent all their money on potions and forgot to fight. :))
Ooh, I love your Anbennar videos. What's the next nation on your list?
Thank you sir. I actually have no idea. We‘ll see. ;)
@@pukebeard6406 Corvuria? I've always been interested in that uncolonized part of the map and the lore surrounding that part. Especially given Corvuria starts small and usually snowballs into being a regional power.
@@RedOblivion7 Perhaps! :D

@@k_aesar It would be slightly more fun if you had a vampire estate mapmode. :D
you should make a video about Cannor Empire, or Rogieria, think you made a video about the adventurers a while ago but it was more generalist
That sounds swell. I never tried Rogieria and I plan to do it as soon as possible.
Just curious, have you ever thought about doing an Ameion or Bulwar campaign. They’re both one of favourites to play especially role playing as Ameion
I did think about Bulwar, but never played Ameion. Will check them out.
The New Corveld event isn't specific to Varaine
I imagine. Just never seen it before for some reason.

I understand that is a pain. I have a friend who also suffers from the lack of font customization. 😢
