SAVING the Western Roman Empire by the POWER OF CHRIST

no thanks, Iame voice... like a 10 y.old girl

[@wheatthins4.222]

Funny thing about Valentinian, he actually CHOSE to rule the west. He was the last emperor to choose the west over the east.

[@wcy5042]

He was actually a great emperor. Things only started to go south once he died

[@Admiralofthedeeps]

Please, please keep this campaign going, I'm completely engrossed in your campaign narration and am already dying for the next episode 🙏

[@AndysTake]

Thank you, Jack!! There will definitely be more episodes, although I don’t know when the next WRE episode might be ;)

[@ivanvoronov3871]

​@@AndysTake will there be a new ottoman episode. I loved it

[@ares106]

I love this kind of campaign video format. It’s so much better than watching like 50 unedited episodes.

[@AndysTake]

Glad to hear it, my friend, that's the goal!

[@Punggles]

Fantastic video! The ability to create a dynamic narrative campaign like this is what makes Total War so amazing. Loving this format

[@AndysTake]

Thank you so much, man! You’re speaking truth right there!

[@politicman5059]

After 20 years music still epic. Thanks dude for bringing back some good old memories

[@AndysTake]

Thanks man, this music is forever legendary!

[@octaviantimisoreanu5810]

This is probably the best Total War campaign narration I've seen on KZbin. It's in past tense, as if it comes from a history scroll. And I love how he gives the characters a story. The script probably takes a long time to write, cut and edit into video. We should all appreciate this hard work. Earned my subscribe twice. Please! More of this!

[@AndysTake]

Much appreciated, Octavian, it definitely takes a whole lot of work, but it’s worth it to read comments like these, so thank you very much :)

This has been one of the most cinematic and well made total war campaigns i have ever seen, your narrating and storytelling is off the charts, you definitely earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@AndysTake]

Thank you so much, more to come! :D

[@Livvvid]

You actually keeping in a battle loss gives me SO much respect from KZbinr standpoint. That actually makes this fun to watch. Too many of these guys try to portray themselves as perfect at the game and I cant even think of a time ive seen someone show them lose in total war content creation. Please show all the ups and downs just like that, i love it.

[@kareem-son-of-zahran]

looks like someone here is going wild and creative starting with the Ottman empire and now this I sult you my frinde and I am waiting with beated breath for part II.

[@AndysTake]

Why thank you, hope to be able to surprise for the third episode as well in a few weeks ;)

[@Soudrah]

Currently revisiting WRE in Attila and this narrative really has me hyped alongside!

[@AndysTake]

YES 🙌 Attila is fantastic

[@TheAustinWoolShow]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Quality content as always. I can't wait for how you'll handle Odacer and his Germanians.

[@AndysTake]

Thank you so much :)

[@hecksagon]

I really like this kind of content!

[@AndysTake]

YES 🙏

[@trollsquad1827]

You running with swaggers blood mod? Could swear I recognize those small blood effects lol. Love the video I definitely need to play the WRE again now. Hopefully by watching one of the greats I can learn enough to not die or lose heart by turn 5. I have already identified several things you did that could help me preserve the glory of rome in my own game. Last thing i will say is I love these campaign story videos, I feel they inspire me to try the campaigns for myself and it sounds/feels like watching an ancient epic every time I watch these kinda videos. Gonna stop spamming ya now, might share this video around and maybe get you one or two more views

[@AndysTake]

Thank you so much, Troll, very happy you liked the video! And yes, that’s indeed Swagger’s blood mod, it’s fantastic! Other than that it’s all vanilla :) good luck on your WRE campaign, I had you in mind after you left that comment on the other video that you were having a hard time :D pro tip - if you kinda wanna cheese the game and make just a little easier for you - change your capital to Massilia, it will significantly improve public order in Gaul and Iberia. And technically, capital changing IS an old Roman pastime! Good luck! :D

[@trollsquad1827]

@@AndysTake well have not had the time to really give the WRE a full playthrough but I think I have left turn 5 in the dust. I think I can survive and thrive if I can get that like 250k good debt sorted. So if not nothing else I enjoyed your video and it helped me learn how to actually not die as wre. I think the east may be about to die but didn't want to cheat to toggle fow to check.

[@ZForZakur]

Loved this! I'd enjoy a part two where you deal with the Barbers and Huns

[@AndysTake]

Might come one day ;)

[@bcvetkov8534]

Please make part 2. I love videos like this.

[@AndysTake]

I’m so glad to hear it, mate!

[@bcvetkov8534]

@@AndysTake Just tried a pagan run as the WRE on hard after you inspired to try a new way to play the game. It's so much harder than converting everyone to Christianity. Public order penalties are worse because each settlement that is majority pagan suffers a -10% debuff because the emperor you start off with (Valentinian I hope I got that right 😂) is Christian. Turn 5 I had the Eastern Romans betray our alliance and take two of my cities in Illyria. It gets really crazy. Goes to show how much effort was put into the expansion by CA at the time.

[@AndysTake]

@@bcvetkov8534 that’s awesome dude! It’s a fantastic expansion definitely. Might try a pagan WRE run in Attila perhaps…

[@StormKnight1]

I adored this video, do more stories like this and I will stay subscribed. Doesn't matter what total war or which mod is it. A story of your own making keeps me interested. However, I realize these take time to do in a natural way and forcing them can produce some bad results, still, I hope you do more.

[@AndysTake]

Definitely planning on doing more :)

[@Swaggaccino]

You gotta try out Attila. I grew up with Rome 1 and all its DLCs and Attila just dials up everything to 11.

[@AndysTake]

Bro…. Hahaha. Spend 5 minutes on my channel, and you’ll find that I think Attila is the best total war game of all time :)

[@Swaggaccino]

@@AndysTake I got you haha. It took a while for Attila to click with me but once it did, it easily is top 3 best TW games of all time for me.

[@tellyheadlol4258]

@@Swaggaccino I think it's great, I just wish that they kept individual model stats from Shogun rather than the healthbar system from Rome 2... makes combat feel a lot less satisfying. I think Shogun 2 is the best for gameplay, personally.

The western Roman Empire in Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion is hands down the hardest campaing in all of Total War history You need to make all decisions correct, the most minimun error will have a province rebel (bad choice of building) or another empire or tribe taking advantage of your error (Hec even your goddamn ally can betray you and he haves far more better resources than you) Your economy is BAD, just plain bad, And you will need to give provinces just because you cant afford them (Including maybe the Brito-Romans) Its HARD, really, Not even attila campaing came that close to it
