Darn! I was one month away from making this joke: "We're friends of Izzy the Grey, can you tell him we've arrived?" "Izzy?! Izzy? OH yes! I remember. Belgian chap. Really hated camels, squeaky chair... haven't seen him for six months."
Izzy: (uploads a new video after six months) Me: "No, thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!" Izzy: "And what about very old friends?" Me: (checking youtube) "Izzy?" Welcome back! Good to hear from you!
What a chad. Izzy disappeared as my final medical exams loomed over the horizon so I didn’t miss out on any content and reappeared when it was over. A true legend
The garrison towers will not give you 2 units like in DAC , it gives you 2 free upkeep slots , it follows the same rules as all other free upkeep slots and since you cannot train anything in Dunheard you will get nothing out of it right away . Hopefully i am not being redundant . Also notice that it as no upkeep cost anymore .
That helmet you were talking about at 38:40 ish is the Sutton-Hoo helm, which was early Anglo-Saxon from the early 7th Century. The goggled and cheek plated style helms were not seen in Celtic Britain but were very common with the Germanic peoples of the day, and similar helms were in fairly common use even centuries later during the Danelaw/Viking age period by the Norse peoples.
In the realm it is a joyful day, as all people throughout do say, through the streets you hear people sing, the air vibrating as all the bells ring, soldiers in columns are marching out, all very ready and eager as you hear them shout, their path covered in flowers and petals, soon to be replaced by shattering metals, But we are willing to march into war, the kingdom ready from mountain to shore, Our lungs tiring as we praise and sing, upon Izzy's arrival - the Return of the King!
So glad you took a long break after the epic elven campaign. Happy you're back. Since your last campaign I've moved across country, buried my father, helped my mother recover from surgery and illness and am starting a new job. It's good to have Izzy back.
An Izzy is never late - he arrives precisely when he means to. Since we last met, Ragnar has become 18 months old and grown to 13 kilos and started preschool. I'm back at work efter six months of parental leave - and kind of exhausted, albeit promoted. Frida, now four, on the other hand, is as energized as ever - much like the Dunlednings marching for war. I've missed you, Izzy.
Damn dude, time flies! Ragnar is gonna be the most fearsome kid in preschool! He could be a Dunlending chieftain no doubt, and Frida with all her energy no doubt a fierce shield maiden (though not of Rohan, obviously)
@@IzzyTotalWar Now that you put it that way, it just seems reasonable that you name a settlement after Ragnar. Perhaps Ragnarrun for Isenrun, since you named it Fridarun the last time around... I'll give you creative freedom, though. EDIT: Or rather - Ragnar Vin for Barad Vin. If read as Swedish, it literally translates to "Ragnar Wine", which has a kind of Dunlending schwung to it.
OMG your back i ve Been waiting for months glad to see your back king My favorite Chanel with the greates comunity NOW BROTHERS LETS GO CONQUER ROHAN AND SLOTHER THE HORSELORDS!!!
Very excited to see you back. Looking forward to this Dunland campaign. Currently going through some of your other campaigns and they're just a blast to watch. Fantastic work as always
Welcome back Izzy! Was quite excited for this notification. Thought I'd share a few small tips to get this campaign going as someone who really enjoyed playing it. Freca can be upgraded to an elite unit eventually if you keep him alive and the uncle has an Herbalist in his retinue which IIRC is transferable and really helps with healing casualties so put it on your main general. Also, remember, low taxes give you a higher population which in turn give you a larger tax base. Plus, if you don't start growing towns early they will likely be done with all construction before they can be upgraded, creating a hard cap for their income. Really pays dividends to keep them low early on in the campaign in most cases. If you're short on gold, watch out for other factions who list their priorities as 'trade' like the Goblins did. They will usually pay thousands for the privilege so don't just give trade away!
P.P.S. Use your forts for free upkeep up to 4 units and don't forget that sacking/extermination adds something like a 40% temporary fear buff to public order so it can be a way to keep generals moving rather than on garrison duty.
THE KING IS BACK! All hail the king who returns! Welcome back, my friend. I missed your campaigns, though I understand that you had a decent break. I hope you had a nice time. Now, on the campaign, you have a very good start and you expand your territory by gaining one and possibly two regions. With Barad Vin, you limit Enedwaith, since you are allied with them, something that will turn them to Gondor. Thus, with your northern border secured from the Goblins, you are now free to expand northwards, you can gain two more regions, Tharbad and Bhaille, between Barad Vin and Tharbad. I am also in favour of that watch tower close to the mountain overlooking to Isenrun, it's worthy to have it... On economic terms, you can start investing in money makers in your northern towns, which are relatively safe for now, in order to gain more income to sustain your armies that will put Rohan down. In Duneard, it's a good idea to get the military buildings there, as it is right now your front with Rohan and it will receive a lot of pressure. As usual, I write stories only for good factions, not evil ones, due to personal reasons... I'm very happy to have your videos back, as they are so fun to watch! Have a nice time.
This is crazy! I was just thinking I hadn’t seen you post in forever yesterday and checked your channel and thought you had packed it in. Love to see you back!
Nice to see you back Izzy! Looking forward to your Dunland campaign. Personally I've just started an Enedwaith campaign on the channel, neighbours it'll be :P Love to see you trying EUR. Did enjoy myself as Erebor and now as the Woodland Realm with them, so I'm interested what you think about the mod. Note that Rohan will come agressively at you when you plays as Dunland, so expect attacks every other turn or so. I advise you to build up your military infrastructre as soon as possible in Duniard. Retraining and recruiting will save your ass quite a few times I guess. If I remember well, Dunland has some slingers, which are suprisingly cheap and quite cost effective.Looking forward to the next episode and good to have you back!
Playing as Dunland, is rare for me too. But, I do love the idea to play as them. I love the new added units that make it more flavorful & attractive to play. Go for Tharbad right away for economy / chokehold, with fort right nearby / power to block or push forward from in North. Goblins to North east are a gamble on ally, or enemy. You can take them, but then you loose their buffer to Elves & Dunedain....

From the EUR team we hope you Enjoy the campaign!! and look forward to V2!
@@deadlysoupyt thank you for your kind words and for making this mod!!
The first day back at work after 6 weeks off and this gets uploaded. Beautiful ❤
EUR is such a good mod, the variety in units and the full unlocked potential of unit sizes, feels like divide and conquer on steroids
The man, the myth, the legend himself…LORRRRDDD IZZZYYYYYYY!!!! For DUNLANNDDDD!!
waited for a small stack of episodes to build up so i can spend all day at work watching Izzy play again. it's going to be a good day.

I thought you had taken a Bilbo Baggins style vacation.
I didn’t expect to see you back but I am glad you are.
Not yet!
Welcome back izzy, so glad to join you on this new campaign
Finally the king returns!
This just made my day to make up for a hell made Monday

Hooly!
Welcome back! Hope you had an amazing time off
I've watched almost all of your previous campaigns while you were gone 😅
Damn, talk about dedication!

Welcome Back. DAC is a classic and well worth returning to and modding. Well done to the modders, continuing the support.
yess you are back, missed you Izzy! For Dunland!!

Thank you! FOR DUNLAND!!
38:38 the helmet you are thinking of is the Sutton Hoo helmet. The early Anglosaxon helmet with a face mask, its really cool!
Yes! I'm so happy to see so many people immediately get what I was trying to talk about 😄 such an iconic design!
The Izzy is baaaack!
Ahh The Return of the king
I knew Rohan and Izzy would not abandon us
Long live the king!!!
ROHAN SHALL BURN!
(thank you ❤️)
Very excited to see you back. Looking forward to this Dunland campaign. Currently going through some of your other campaigns and they're just a blast to watch. Fantastic work as always

No! Don't support us secretly, make it loud and proud!!

Welcome back Izzy! Was quite excited for this notification.
Thought I'd share a few small tips to get this campaign going as someone who really enjoyed playing it.
Freca can be upgraded to an elite unit eventually if you keep him alive and the uncle has an Herbalist in his retinue which IIRC is transferable and really helps with healing casualties so put it on your main general.
Also, remember, low taxes give you a higher population which in turn give you a larger tax base. Plus, if you don't start growing towns early they will likely be done with all construction before they can be upgraded, creating a hard cap for their income. Really pays dividends to keep them low early on in the campaign in most cases. If you're short on gold, watch out for other factions who list their priorities as 'trade' like the Goblins did. They will usually pay thousands for the privilege so don't just give trade away!
P.S. The Sutton Hoo helm
P.P.S. Use your forts for free upkeep up to 4 units and don't forget that sacking/extermination adds something like a 40% temporary fear buff to public order so it can be a way to keep generals moving rather than on garrison duty.
