Only found your channel fairly recently. Are all of these empires on this planet in the same universe as the rest of Rimworld or is it entirely different? If it is the same universe it would be interesting to have in one of the series have one of your empires find a super soldier in a cryptosleep casket who tells them about the wider galaxy.
Yeah, so these empire series all take place in the same universe. I decided to organize the episodes into one long video for each series in preparation for the next season of our Gun Empire series and for new viewers who may be interested. Funny enough something very similar happens in our next empire series the Farming Empire :) ill have it uploaded tomorrow at 10AM EST. I’ve also been pinning comments with super useful and common questions so im going to pin yours as well!
I like how this went from "ahah funny Rimworld let's play about making money by cutting trees" to a fleshed out story with in depth worldbuilding, characters, story driven decisions and chracter arcs, political intrigue, drama and meaningful conflicts. Like dude, how did we get here? Anyway I'm here for it.
I just found you recently but I can imagine happy oak casually telling the colonists something along the lines of “back in my day I worked with Greedy Man Birch and was his right hand man of his logging empire. You know that drum you played as a kid. I knew the person who made it.”
Yess here we go again - would be great if you did like an Italian Mafia story starting with the boss, his wife and son selling groceries to having a mob empire.
@@spyderxx6309 Who cares if he is working off a script, human or AI written. In fact, I appreciate the hustle. He took the time to edit his lines, work on his jokes, while writing it out. Now tell me, why ChatGPT? If anything, he mixes in a lot of local colloquialisms and that Southern charm, AI can't write that, can't deliver it. Llistening to RK makes me miss the south, a lot. Peculiar, genteel, savage, all at once. Oh and swampass, can't forget that.
@@heavyhebrew could be mixed maybe, I'm fine if it was, as long as he's added onto it. after all, that's what it was built for, helping a writer.. well.. write. instead of just being purely AI. Either way, it's still good. I just said that since I kept noticing repeated phrases
tip: you shouldnt finish downed animals that you hunt manually by shooting, because that can potentially destroy body parts and reduce the meat yield. designating the animal to be hunted and prioritizing hunt work instead guarantees that they die without potentially loosing body parts.
Honestly my favourite theme wish you did more like this. The grim harsh life is so much better, Even the sound effects of wind add to the theme. Great work!
Wow this is so epic I love the narrative. Is this at least a decade after the alcohol empire? I like how technology seems to progress in real time. From flint locks to revolvers and now machine guns and helicopters. Keep these series going 😊
I know this is an old series, but I have to say that you absolutely cooked with this empire. The lore is like reading a book and I just couldn't stop watching this installment of the series. I'm glad I went back after the latest empire to watch how this universe is being made.
Ahhhh yes....hitting the completely exposed generators that are on the side always open to attack.......so the marshals definitely lose. Then given a free pass....then he's dumb enough to walk in and address the people he tourtured who are armed alone with his sister while unarmed. This was brought to a very abrupt and messy end.
Aaah, the series that got me into your channel, I will.rewatch this, just want to say thank you for this remaking of the series, it helped me expirience the rest of your rimworld made world, it was incredible, I am missing out, hell the clone series is also just outstanding, tho I did underestimate you during it, I tought you would edit down the episodes signifficantly so I hunted down the right order of the videos instead of watching the full series videos, then watched those only to find out you did actually make them like watching the full episodes but without the slogish rummage trough youtube, thank you for your content and I await further installments of your stories, now I just need to catch up wiyh the medieval series and you can make whatever you wish without any complaints from me
I've been here around this channel for a while even commented about your southern accent at one point (don't know if you remember lol) but it's nice to see you grow and I hope you're doing well!
omg, I've been binging this series for the past couple weeks and I've been trying to figure out the entire time if it was an accent or if it was a voice he did for the narrator
Whelp when I saw the fuel issue, my first thought was how long until the maniac in charge started rendering the raiders down to fix that issue. And what do you know, ends up really going off the deep end by the end.
Everytime you said the name Hawthorne in this, it made me think of that song from that Dan Harmon show Community. Look up " I got a pocket full of Hawthorne's". I'm curious how close the personality is between your character Captain Hawthorne to Chevy Chase's character with similar name.
I would love to see Slate, become a crono mage spy and destroy the rebels, not because of the reasons her family had but classic good ol revenge! Using their very life energy against them.
Never have thought i would be emotionally invested with fake people as i have been with these ive been following along for a short time now but man is it good. Was that a Johnny Cash reference? Dark as a dungeon??
I think there are some settings that turn the screen brighter ingame, this could help alot for the viewers since you are in a mountain :) i think i saw some other rimworld streamer do this. Also, nice vids!
Just found you a few days ago, been binging now the empire series (thank you so much for compiling these), and wanted to say these are great. This is really something unique due to it being one singular universe. Just one question - how is one able to play so many factions on the same world (or get the same characters reoccur?). It sounds so cool as a concept on its own.

@@Rat_Knight ooo I look forward to it then I have been binging these supercuts as soon as you release them.
Rat Knight Bizarre Adventure: Lumber Blood
Rat Knight Bizarre Adventure: Alcohol Tendency
Rat Knight Bizarre Adventure: Mining Crusaders
You missed the chance to call it Bottle Tendency.
Rat Knight Bizarre Adventure: Guns are Unbreakable
Rat Knight Bizarre Advernture: Farming Experience
Rat Knight Bizarre Adventure:Space Pirate Ocean
Rat Knight Bizarre Adventure: SteamPunk Run
This is when the Rat Knight RimWorld Universe starts to become really dark.
That is very true. We went from happy ha ha wood and beer to murdering beggars :(
I like how this went from "ahah funny Rimworld let's play about making money by cutting trees" to a fleshed out story with in depth worldbuilding, characters, story driven decisions and chracter arcs, political intrigue, drama and meaningful conflicts.

Bro yes. And I wish I had the creativity to play rimworld like that :( Mad respect to the creator
I just found you recently but I can imagine happy oak casually telling the colonists something along the lines of “back in my day I worked with Greedy Man Birch and was his right hand man of his logging empire. You know that drum you played as a kid. I knew the person who made it.”
Yeah yeah yeah, get back to work
don't you disrespect birch, he's the man who started all of this.
@@AndrewPatterson-xq4qk Oh i'm not disrespecting him I loved Birch for how cruel he was
Yess here we go again - would be great if you did like an Italian Mafia story starting with the boss, his wife and son selling groceries to having a mob empire.
That would be hilarious
Load 16 tons what do the workers get another day older and deeper in debt oh saint peter they cant go they owe there souls to ratnight
We need the empire empire
Itll come sooner or later
Apparel empire?
What would that empire be like? A empire made from other empires?
@@Blazzicre.“A Banner, formed from the conquest of 86 tribes..“
@@Rat_Knight True empire than just selling.
bro the LOOOOOOORE put into this is just, mwah, chef's kiss
"I am just the narator" laughs in Nuremberg
"That Austrian was an underachiever"
t. Captain Hawthorne
Don't it feel a bit like he's reading chat gpt? Lol

Im suprise happy oak survived as long as he did after him having a haert attack i thot he would be doomed after that
It is crazy how the protagonist is the antagonist
Yup. Hawthorn was the final boss of the previous story, but now he's the main character.
protaginist doesnt mean good guy.
Eh, they're our perspective, but not the protagonists. Like Gatsby or the last mission of that one Driver game, they're not always the same thing.
Do I dare say it but mining empire has to be peak story telling in the rat knight universe
Say it with me folks;
"I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole."
"Diggy diggy hole."
"Diggy diggy hole."
Brings back memories
Diggy diggy hole
Diggy diggy hole
This one is/was sooo good, got me really into your channel!
Love your videos rat knight, these older videos are what got me into rimworld and ultimately RUclips
Thanks and continue your good work
These also got me into rimworld, expressly the revolutionary war on
Honestly my favourite theme wish you did more like this.
The grim harsh life is so much better, Even the sound effects of wind add to the theme. Great work!
Wow this is so epic I love the narrative. Is this at least a decade after the alcohol empire? I like how technology seems to progress in real time. From flint locks to revolvers and now machine guns and helicopters. Keep these series going 😊
Im only at the Intro, and im already HOOKED!
Bro i've been hearing ernie ford so much lately because of Fallout 76 so good
They shot a helicopter out of the aky with a mortar. Amazing skills rebel soldier
shit i didn't realize rat knight was so into miners
im just the narrator
*keeps hand on the mouse button*
"and just like that: Ninjak had bled to death in that dark cold prison cell" its 68F lmao
I know this is an old series, but I have to say that you absolutely cooked with this empire. The lore is like reading a book and I just couldn't stop watching this installment of the series. I'm glad I went back after the latest empire to watch how this universe is being made.
I enjoyed the reference to Dark as a Dungeon 1:15:10. I only know of that song from the Appalachia Radio in Fallout 76 lol
Man I wish you kept in the little lore parts at the beginning of each episode. They were so cool and brought a lot of world building to the series.
Also are we ever going to see slate and Severn again
This really is the assassins creed rouge of the empires series. Loving it!
Another Rat Knight W you cook it up every time
You da best❤️
3rd empire vid i watched in a single day, fair to say i became an addict of Rat knight
Ahhhh yes....hitting the completely exposed generators that are on the side always open to attack.......so the marshals definitely lose. Then given a free pass....then he's dumb enough to walk in and address the people he tourtured who are armed alone with his sister while unarmed. This was brought to a very abrupt and messy end.
Alcohol Empire: Hawthorne is an A-Hole
Mining Empire: meet the hero Hawthorne
Your stories are more interesting than most shows and movies. Love your imagination and narration.
Aaah, the series that got me into your channel, I will.rewatch this, just want to say thank you for this remaking of the series, it helped me expirience the rest of your rimworld made world, it was incredible, I am missing out, hell the clone series is also just outstanding, tho I did underestimate you during it, I tought you would edit down the episodes signifficantly so I hunted down the right order of the videos instead of watching the full series videos, then watched those only to find out you did actually make them like watching the full episodes but without the slogish rummage trough youtube, thank you for your content and I await further installments of your stories, now I just need to catch up wiyh the medieval series and you can make whatever you wish without any complaints from me
You were not kidding when you said we would see Hawthorn again, but never did I imagine that he would become the _main protagonist._
2:01:20
THEY CELEBRATE RIMWORLD EARTHDAY XD
THAT IS AMAZING, AND I LOVE IT
I like how you wrote the letter for that proper old time style
Ur my favourite rimworld RUclipsr
You’re too kind to an old rat❤️
So glad I found this series. Captain Hawthorne is a true villain and a damn dirty dog
The Mining Empire will always be special to me it was the first ever video of you I watched
I've been here around this channel for a while even commented about your southern accent at one point (don't know if you remember lol) but it's nice to see you grow and I hope you're doing well!
Of course i remember! Not many people have ever been able to notice my accent lol. Thanks for sticking by me buddy❤️ it really does mean a lot.
omg, I've been binging this series for the past couple weeks and I've been trying to figure out the entire time if it was an accent or if it was a voice he did for the narrator
The children yearn for the mines!!
Let's be real mining empire was the darkest and therefore the best
One empire video a day keeps the Marshals away
“Im just the narrator” YOU MADE THE MARCIE SERVES ?!?
With the Royalty DLC, we need an empire empire now
Good memories, i watched this serie like a month after it had finished XDDDDD
This is my second favorite rat night series
Whelp when I saw the fuel issue, my first thought was how long until the maniac in charge started rendering the raiders down to fix that issue. And what do you know, ends up really going off the deep end by the end.

I watched too much Battletech lore. Every time he says Rimworld Marshal Service, my mind keeps replacing it with the Rimworld's Republic.
I would love to see Slate, become a crono mage spy and destroy the rebels, not because of the reasons her family had but classic good ol revenge! Using their very life energy against them.
Imagine someone made an incredbox mods based on your series
Can’t wait to finish watching this seemingly heavily USSR style inspired rimworld video with many themes of oppression, violence, and downright evil.
W Love your rim world series
And i love you❤️❤️
@@Rat_Knight🧐
Don’t worry I’m a minor 💪
If you ever do anything like yhis again you should get yhe "Gaurd for me" mod
The mouse frantically moving adds so much emotion 😂bravo
Lol im not sure what caused me to start doing that but its become a critical part of my videos
We need all of the empires combined in a video
Never have thought i would be emotionally invested with fake people as i have been with these ive been following along for a short time now but man is it good.
Was that a Johnny Cash reference? Dark as a dungeon??
"Playing hide the hot dog..." bruhhhh
You have some awesome storytelling skills.
it's hilarious to me that the totalitarian govt flies the literal anarchist flag
❤ the story telling. 🎉
Love the videos , makes me want to get rimworld
The madness of Captain Hawthorne.
Alright... This is cool. The story you put together is awesome.
...Cannibal Empire-
Just kidding, lol.
Who knows :)
finally videos i can eat to
Did you know that American states are making redesigns for their flags. Very cool
All of them or some of them? I actually watched a video by CGP Grey recently covering something similar.
loooove this never stop
I think there are some settings that turn the screen brighter ingame, this could help alot for the viewers since you are in a mountain :)
i think i saw some other rimworld streamer do this.
Also, nice vids!
Ahh rimworld, the best war crime simulator out there.
Nostalgia hits hard like getting hit by a pickaxe
Hmm I didnt know Rimworld became the Gulag Simulator.
A beautiful, Beautiful ending
I like this series
We work to earn the right to work to earn the right to work to earn the right to work
wowee

Stone beds have less rest-effectiveness than steel and wood so I got a lil triggered by slate beds
The RK Universe has me in a chokehold! I would sub 5x if I could
amazing story brotha, i crave more.
hawthorn reminds me of wrath from fma:b
We need engineer empire on cold weather
Neat
gun empire is still the best
After rewatching these for editing i agree lol. By far my best empire yet
Would you by chance ever do the ye olde knights? It was the first one I saw from ya and it needs a good update 😁
I kinda wish i didn't watch the alcohol empire before this
Sad the thrumbo mod hasnt been updated 🥲
We love miners
I realy want a Spac Merc Video
My internet noooooooo
Justice for Hawthorne!
1:15:10 fallout reference i mean song from a radio?
Very frostpunk
FROSTPUNK RIMWORLD?!
Should do an organ harvesting empire
Right as I finished the last one this one appears
Shall we watch another??
@@Rat_Knightyessir, best rimworld binge ever
Isn’t Lercot and Happy Oak from the wood chopping empire
Indeed they are
The same ones. In fact, Hawthorn here was the final boss of the Alcohol Empire episode.
What happened to Slate? I mean, explosions could not only rubble all entrances, but also free ancient danger
