HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2020
- Crusader kings 2 is the best medieval rpg that historically recreates a fantasy and funny adventure for your character as they try and lead their small plot of land to success! Success can of course in this game vary from not dying of the black death to managing to conquer the world In todays video we are going to be doing the latter with a handy bit of assistance from a very fun glitch involving retinue for Germanic Tribes in this Role Playing Grand strategy game. So today The Spiffing Brit will discover if CK2 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if the retinue only challenge is broken and allows you to conquer the world in the easiest way possible. With this challenge you can not only have free mega armies you can also have unlimited money and infinite prestige. It really is the easiest and most broken way to play Crusader Kings. I do love strategy game exploits and what better way to show them off than with some British funny moments! So sit back relax and enjoy this funny montage of a mad english chap as he exploits games for your entertainment.
This video game exploit video will be jam packed with a best bits funny moments montage style of editing similar to that of Valefisk, Robbaz and RTgame. So sit back relax and grab a cup of tea to enjoy with the spiffing brit!

“Angermanland” is actually still a place in sweden and roughly translates to “regret-man-land”. Meaning you’d regret going there
Actually it's got its name from the river, the Ångerman, and it's just a river that is so wide they call it a fjord - or in old swedish "anger" (hah! Norway has fjords, Sweden has to call their rivers fjords :P)... anyway, you'll love their coat of arms, it's got three fish in it.
I mean, it makes a lot more sense if it was actually a river called Ångerman but at that point you're ruining Swedish 6th grade geography for everyone
Sowwy :(
The Swedish Provincial borders and names have stayed consistent for a scary amount of time. Medelpad, Jämtland, Gästrikland, and Hälsingland are about the same size and they still have the same name.

Ah, so THIS is how all those damned roving adventurers and peasant uprisings keep showing up with 6 thousand fully trained soldiers
Seriously though lmaoo. EU4 is even worse for uprisings. Like 14k troops while your standing army is still only 9k lmaooo
Malohdek and somehow those peasants have enough food for it all indefinitely, reinforcements, sometimes higher discipline than you and better weapons. Wtf
@@Malohdek to be fair your 9k is better equipped trained and lead then the latter which is much larger but lacking the formor etc. so it is pretty balance unless you fucked up so badly that you got the revolution crises and all of that shits.
@@Malohdek At least EU4 shows you how many people will join an uprising! And gives you better tools to prevent it. On the other hand, Vic2 is much worse for uprisings.

Well done my Guge
if you are the hero of the wolf warriors you can only be injured in battle. add that to being immortal and your character can physically not die
you can still die to events like 'chess with death', get murdered via plot, or be burned at stake when accused of apostasy (if you fail at being a viking and get conquered by Catholics). there's no doubt more, like prisoner execution or maybe mummified with that freaky intrigue bloodline, but I never had those so that's me speculating.
There’s still actually plenty of ways to die as immortal, all immortality does is ensure you don’t you die of disease and old age. The reduction of injury as a wolf warrior still doesn’t prevent you from being killed in duels, there’s always a 3% or so chance that you’ll lose a duel and potentially die

Me conquering the world in every ck2 game with camel/light cav retinue: "You sure?"
Fr. When he said that my first thought was how every series I've watched uses maxed retinue caps, I personally max out my retinues each time. They've been the strongest thing in the game since they were released.
mainzer45 huh weird I’m with spiff never seen a point in using them but I don’t focus a whole lot on the combat so I’m not an expert.
@@TheRealLaking yeah my first world conquer campaign was using retinues to conquer the majority of my enemies provinces, and only using my normal army for defences. I had a 40k retinue hold off the sunset invasion 120k doomstack. They're absurd if you get a proper unit comp and focus on them.

You should’ve chose the scholarship focus.

You can multiply your retinue by SO much!

Me: Im not even mad, that's impressive!
Nice!
Its ångermanland and means regret man land.
I'd love to see 100 stat man back in ck2, anyone else? Either that or spiff using this to conquer the whole globe
Honestly I would love a series of nothing but world conquest in ck2 using odd tactics
I've done this before and I have a few tips.
1 Grab the heavy retinue with a 33% heavy and 67% Light infantry they are far better when it comes to raiding and will be able to compete against other units later on in the game. My highest size was 10k Light and 5k heavy. Lasted me from year 800 to the end.
2 If you want to raid a lot then grab Malta or any other island in the Mediterranean (besides of Venice) so that you can drop of your raid loot and repeat. Cut down a lot of down time by doing it. My maxed war chest was 80k Gold.
3 Try to pick the intrigue focus and spy on your vassals then find a reason to imprison them, try to make it so they escape and then win the war they started. After you've won take control of one of their holdings which means another fort + first market and a weapon smith. You can also make your chancellor fabricate claims on them in before hand so that you can claim multiple holdings from them.
4 Tech, Try to max out Military Organization as much as possible it will give you ridiculous amounts of retinue cap.
Get your spy master in Constantinople easy progress for free.
Don't expect to get a 15k retinue size and a 80k war chest the frist time trying this. It took me well over 30 attempts to figure this out :D. Keep up the good work Spiff. I'd appreciate if you could hand a fellow watcher a hand by licking this if you found it helpful
The method I've found much much better is just having mostly (50%+) Light Cavalry/Light Infantry based army, with the rest being Light infantry or Light + Heavy infantry.
Place ALL (or almost all) of your Light Cavalry retinues on the same flank (preferably commander with bonuses to morale damage, flanking and/or light cavalry) and enjoy winning battles against enemies twice your size as your Light cavalry shreds their opposing flank almost immediately, and proceeds to mow the rest with the flanking bonus.
For the 2 smaller flanks, defensive commanders with good martial or narrow flank ability are preferable, but their main goal is to survive till the big flank get to mow down everything.
this works with a bigger starting position like sweden, right? i don't really understand why he went for such a small nation in the beginning?
@@WhoIsTooME I could see a extreme benefit in having cavalry in early game.. Maybe have 1/3 cavalry retinue on 1000LH and 2k (Hunting Party) in Right flank and then in the other two small groups of Trappers for the Archers Defensive bonuses.
Maybe have two groups, 1 Big for raiding with the Veteran Warriors to make easy money and your Calvary group + Trapper on the other flanks. Thanks for the tip
@@ProtoForte Well He might have just found this out. I wouldn't really call sweden big in 769, just around 3k levies. Compared to denmark that can mustur around 5k+ from vassals.
As long as you start out aggressively by raiding all your nabours and conqueror more territory so you get more people to raid from. It should work from any starting ruler, After you become king you can offer vassalization to people with your own culture and religion. Then just create a big retinue army whilst getting a lot of prestige.
The lord of war has spoken.

@@jamie5140 what are you talking about? Denmark is that little peninsula north of Germany that reaches out into the north sea.
George Pittas not an iSorrow subscriber I see, never mind then. I’m well aware it is real pal, it’s a running joke from another channel spiff used to sometimes play with
I'm from sweden, now live in Denmark. This is how it used to be, but it's like this no more. We are still called like Larsson (son of Lars), or Gustafsson (son of Gustaf), but the actual Gustaf lived like a hundred years ago. Nobody really knows who Gustaf or Lars was. When we switched to having family names, people just took their title or parent, and made it their last name/family name.
So yeah, everyone has family names, the family is just named after some bloke.
It's like how in the UK, all the Potters are not actually, you know, potters by profession. Just by name.
Retinues can be valuable without exploits, but only when you are HUGE. I played a game recently as Jorvik and my retinue was useless until I was huge (empire of Britannia reinstated huge). By that point I had around 15k troops from my Empire and a retinue of another 7k. The bigger you are the fewer troops you get per province overall but retinue cap increases are linear, so when you are huge the retinue becomes an appreciable portion of the total troops you can field. :)
"It's Occupation Time". Nothing has ever sounded so English then that phrase and sum up English history.

Interesting. I have got to try this. I used retinues before, as a Finnish pagan, and they were great. I can only imagine how well they'll do for a VIKING.
Yes, more 100 Stat Man please, the concept never gets old!
Tried this strat today because i figured, "it aint that overpowered, surely..." Now two hours later here i am with 40k retinues and all i own is most of northern norway, northern sweden and finland. Remember, your hillfort give you +100 retinue size, the first market gives you 20 retinue, the first weaponsmith gives you 25 retinue and 5 less for every lever thereafter, so you can potentially push out way more troops than you'd think after all those modifiers, and retinues don't care if you go over your "demesne" limit, so you just grab all those demesne's for yourself and a short while later, you will have so many retinues the only limit is the amount of prestige you can manage to gather, and if you micro your raiding, thats no issue at all. I could've reached more, but i stopped at 40k because i didn't want to continue raiding just to earn more prestige to use for more retinues.
You stopped at 40k because you somehow managed to get into the 40k Warhammer universe.
I tried this exact thing (same land, ruler, etc) as in the video and it won’t let me use prestige for retinues, only gold. I don’t know what’s wrong. I have the Norse culture and Germanic religion and everything. Help?
@@SexyRapMaster maybe dlc?
@@SexyRapMaster I think it depends on what kind of retinue it is. The housecarls(heavy infantry) cost gold while light infantry costs prestige

@@gonzalodohrmanngareis2493 I suppose but a lot of players think it would be better to put tech elsewhere for feudal
Tried this while playing with a friend, and I came across two fun things/exploits:
1) if you build up your retinue and then decide you want to upgrade from tribalism to, say, a merchant republic, the game apparently still thinks that that retinue cost prestige. The prestige cost does go up due to the drop in retinue cap, but still doesn’t cost any gold. Does not hold for retinue built afterwards though.
2) turns out that, if you are playing as a vassal of your friend, you do not generate any threat and defensive pacts cannot be formed against you. Therefore, if you play as a vassal, you can conquer with impunity. Combined with the special conquest of any costal or border territory for Germanic pagans, and fun things can be done...
Perfectly balanced as all things should be, thanks CK2

Also, it's Ångermanland and not Angermanland, named after archbishop Abraham Angermannus, who walked from the region to germany and aided with the conversion of Sweden from Catholicism tho protestantism.

But when we're using the ruler designer, there's nothing stopping you from being a Germanic Pagan Doge of Venice. ;)
Honestly, it's a fun, if ridiculous playstyle.
Haha yes hello my fellow guge’s
Toby Stefaan sup mah guge
How are ya guge's
I love the society we guge's built together
We all guge's
Hi my guge
"Nobody uses retinues because they're super expensive"
Me as a small tribal petty kingdom : no bro, I totally don't have 4.8k retinues and don't make it go up bruh
He should have entered the warrior society since they make you have a duel the moment he got better from wounded. Also, pagan rulers with the ambition to form a kingdom have infinite subjugation casus belli against anyone within the kingdom (as long as the title isn't created yet) which means easy prestige if you raid your enemie's province before declaring war to destroy their levies. "With which army" with the army he would have gotten from his marshall if he had used the third ability to increase the levy size instead of maintenance. He did really well, but if he wanted to really optimize he could have done those things too. (Though I understand if explaining those things would make the video more complicated)
Tbh the playthrough was kinda badly optimized, he should've used the chancellor to make claims into holy sites, change tribal warriors to hunters or veteran warriors after the failed raiding attemp, obtained more provinces from weak finnish clans before raiding, not cheated with console to show why gavelkind is horrible, etc..
i do enjoy 100 stat man, i wouldnt even mind a legit play through as well! keep up the good work.... brb tea cup is empty
What's up guges
Actually this strat works even better with 769AD start! You just need to focus shipbuilding to get to tech 1 ASAP and after 10-15 years into the game an event called "Viking Age" happens and you get you get another +1 to shipbuilding for free (if you are viking). Then you have 2 shipbuilding, ahead of time. Now you can insantly build a shitload of boats and raid people for thousands of ducats.
Also in 769 start England is super fractured and is very easy to plunder and conquest. Another bonus is nobody really have a castles so raiding is even more effecient.
Then you breed yourself a 37 martial son with 17 learning, and a 31 stewardship nephew. Power through that military organization tech and 3.1 prestige a month from your steward upon death. That was a lovely campaign.
Colour me British: Global Edition
Nice joke, my guge
Why hello my fellow tea drinking Guges
Ma Guges I do believe that we should continue referring to ourselves as Guges in all future videos
100 Stat Man is impressive, but does he think so highly of himself that thousands of elite soldiers appear out of thin air and swear fealty to him?
This is an excellent point
*That ways of our Guge and Saviour are unpredictable*
"I'm going to declare subjugation instead of force vassalisation, because I don't want vassals."
hmmmmmmm
"Retinues are expensive!"
Me: *types 'cash' in console command*
@@IchigoMait tribal retinues, kinda. Since they cost prestige. Feudals (which are the majority of factions on CK2) do cost gold. Chill bruv.
@@IchigoMait you've clearly never played the game or at the very least feudalism. Only pagans get free retinues (prestige and piety)
THANKYOU SPIFF
I SUGGESTED THIS A MONTH AGO. Cheers my man.
Thank you guge
Thank guge
No problem ma guge
I have been looking for strata for CK2.
Thanks, Guge!
"welcome to Crussader Kings II, where everything is just wrong" - spiff (prelude to breaking the game in fact) god man thats just so perfect.
As for game wish involving spiff - would it not be interesting if he gotten involved with something like Stanley Parable (or spiritual successor to that idea), yes as narrator but also in some game design. i think i would enjoy trying to learn to look at game mechanics and thinking "yeah no this wont do, but maybe i can make it work in some strange and different manner?"
I always love when I see that my guge Spiffing uploaded CK2!
Mongolian army: highly trained army on horses.
Spiffing Britt: bunch of Guges with sticks running in a general direction.

And yet the Spiffing Brits army is more effective.
Sorow Fame Sorow Fame Sorow Fame Trust me, as someone who watched a Aquitanian army of mostly heavy infantry/cavalry wipe the floor with a light infantry-based Malian army 3 times its size, a horde of light infantry will only get you so far. It works fine here since most of his enemies are smaller tribal, light-infantry heavy nations, but those 11k troops of his aren’t going to do terribly well against a heavy infantry-based army (especially if their commanders are roughly equal) unless Spiffing’s army significantly outnumbers them.
Do you absolutely have to break every game you touch? - Fabulous, keep up the good work. I just started a playthrough, but I think it's time for a new one (insert evil laugh)🧐
