2:35 idk why but there’s something so… impactful and emotional about facing off against the last enemy army with their king leading them. Depending on how long your war with them has been your ready for it to end yet also sad that it has to come to said end. The enemy putting up fight after fight despite your armies decimating them yet they still call one final charge into your lines and as you watch this imminent clash you realize… this is the moment you destroyed a nation…

👏🙂
Ahh the medieval 2 executions are nostalgic. 🤣
3:00 lol the cavalry charging into a line of spears.
Historically accurate. Classic French Nobility.
THE RETURN OF THE KING (Hopefully with loads of gunpowder with him)
In medieval times? That’s not until the broken timurids or mongols come!
Mhh nostalgia, one of my first campaign ever in a total war alongside the Julii in Rome
The good old days!!
"and were buggered if shes on their side.. LOOK" that broke me
TFW you’re in the entire new world and your general is tripping off new world drugs right before a battle
All I could think of when I watch this was:
FOR ENGLAND, AND ST. GEORGE!
LONGBOOOOOOOOWS!!!
yes!IIIYEEESSSSS!!!!!Hope you can find good games for you to clip. Stay frosty
Medieval 2 is finally here!
Ahhhhhh finally playing as the true chad nation.
LONGBOOOOOOOOOOOOWSS!!!
England: It’s time to unify.
The rest of the world: Sweats.
I love your shogun 2 videos but honestly this is your best total war video you’ve ever created! Fantastic, hilarious, epic. It’s everything! Well done!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video! :D
3:00 How does the Scottish AI have such advanced general's bodyguard that early into the campaign? That doesn't make any sense, unless it was a custom battle
edit: ah nevermind, I saw he discovered the Americas at turn 40 and also I read the description, there's some modding going on.
Yes modding, the custom campaign 2 mod :D basically makes the games countries/factions all playable
@@Pilps custom campaign 2 does not make the america accesible early
Fooking A, back when Engerland scored goals!
If goals you mean colonisation!
Love to see some spicy Medieval 2 content. Would highly recommend the Venetians or Byzantines. The Moors, Sicily and Poland have some fun units as well, but their situations are... weird.
I plan on playing all the countries/factions!
I love the thought of a Universe where Henry VIII died by getting drunk and impaling himself on a barricade stick, and his last motivational speech was about green pixies or something.
R.I.P
Truly an Englishman
@@Pilps a proper chap indeed
The opening edit to this video is actually so catatonicslly funny I come back to this video near daily just to hear "idk I guess I was expecting some EXCOMMUNICATION." and Ricky just crying with laughter.
The entire video is a editing masterpiece but that intro kills me every time
Thank you so much! Yeah anything involving those three together is instantly funny to me too! Thanks for commenting 😎
@@Pilps anytime g, love your content always a proper laugh to see shared experience and memes from playing thousands of hours of TW
England - bring's longbowmen
Scots and French - Screw this shit, I'm out.
Longbows go *BRRRRRR*
By far the best total war game, can't wait they annouce the third ! :D
Sadly i don't want them to do it, CA will fuck it up
I love total war AI. (Thup thup thup, argghhh...) "Where are these falling things killing us coming from?" (Thup thup thup, aaahheeah) "Do we charge? Do we charge?" (Thup thup thup, huhuhu) "No, we rush forward 10 feet then return to our original positions." (Thup thup thup, ughhh...)
Haha that’s why longbows are so much fun!
"By St.George behave yourself. I will give you a taste of my longbow"
BY SAINT GEORGE
Love the video, how did you get the general model at 3:38?
Wait a minute... I have serious doubts... How the hell is Tlaxcala in the Yucatán peninsule?
I’m using the custom campaign 2 mod :D
@@Pilps Oh well, thank you, I hope to see the France campaign in the future
3:07 the fact the Scottish had full plate armor cavalry before you it’s incredible or am I dumb??
That was their generals bodyguard :D
@@Pilps so u used a mod??
General's bodyguards will always have early plate or mail armor in vanilla medieval 2.
@@nikolaivanov7400 custom campaign mod
I need to admit, i only ever played the Byzantines, HRE, Denmark and egypt XD
Do you hate yourself? 😅
This is going dark very fast
I hated myself now over 500 hours XD
Bro.
The battlefield views
The editing
The music
The video length
It's all in perfect balance. Great quality, without overuse of one or the other.
fucking sublime. Subbed.
Thank you for the kind words friend! Glad you enjoyed the video :D
I love the Medieval 2 animations of a failed assassination lol
Finally, the best nation
Longbows go *BRRRRRRR*
Nope
do you play with mods
It’s been a while since I’ve played this game but since when did it look this good, and when could you see the America’s on the minimap since turn one. I’m very curious if it’s a mod or if there was always a way to do this and I’m too dumb to notice, because I really want to try this for myself
edit: its literally in the description mb
Yeah it’s in the description 😅
@@Pilps lol my dumb ass should’ve checked it to begin with. Also your Videos are amazing and has made me love this game again, keep up the great work
2:47 the burning ballista shot was beautiful. Hearing the enemy’s death screams while they’re burning were very hilarious when I nail those shots in siege battles also!
Beautiful shot!
M2TW was one hell of a game! I lol'ed at the stroke-death spasm bug @20:23
The animal onesie pajamas Aztecs stood no chance against Pilps!
Haha 😂 this game is a pure gem! Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
