Every time I see the name Bebbanburg I hope someone's able to make a mod after The Last Kingdom.

Keeping it fresh.

pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@rogueoutlaw6333]

Watching this makes me want to go back reading Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories series. Can't wait for the next part! Keep up with the great videos!

[@SurrealBeliefs]

It's a good one!

[@questionableatbest6853]

Also if you want to read a great series that takes place during this time period a really recommend the last kingdom by Bernard Cornwell

[@aaronrasing2710]

The last Kingdom TV series is also great!

[@Sybreed1986]

I actually picked this game up recently & have been playing it myself but was hard to understand some of the mechanics to it. Watching you play thru ur campaign has helped me tons. Thank you for ur video & I will continue to watch these videos, of this game. Loving it so far :)

[@hazzballgaming6790]

I think there should be some bonuses for your ruler owning an estate. Like for example, more income per turn, better replenishment rates, more movement range? And that's only if the ruler owns an estate. So as long as an army (friendly) is in an estate owned by you, you gain more replenishment and more movement range. Sounds like a cool idea to me... Another idea would be..if you own too many estates, the loyalty of your vassals' decrease (this is so it's not too op). Like if you agree!

[@alexhicks6207]

Great to see us Northumbrians seeing someone video game representation

"He's going to be taught the ways of life, heh heh heh" OH MY GOSH XD

[@taipenn2358]

I think I am of the opinion of a good amount of people in that I'm not terribly excited for this game especially in the current Total War climate. But unlike others I actually want to give this game a chance. I'd much rather be wrong and this ends up being a great or even amazing total war game. There are already good points: 1. The art style is wonderfully creative like the little movies in Warhammer 2's Vortex Campaign 2. I really like how they handle provinces now, it's somewhat like Crusader King's 2 with a major capital and then specialized minor settlements under its dominion. 3. First impression tells me the music is pretty good. 4. Correct me if I'm wrong but the game actually booted up and isn't freaking out which given Rome 2, initially, is really saying something, So I want to give this game a chance especially since the things that worked here could at least contribute to making Three Kingdoms an amazing game.

[@theofficialkebaberofarmeni7104]

Tai Penn the game seems very cinematic to where even the small battles get me exited

[@Nubi324]

If it wasn't hard it wouldn't be you I know your going to show them the error of their ways and put all the Saxons to the Axe and sword. Disloyalty will not be tolerated ohhh sweet revenge

The portraits in this game look like a compilation of the chad meme, especially the lord.

Damnit, I love Surreal's videos but his sultry voice knocks me out every time

[@DeathNova77550]

Haha, I thought I was the only one! His videos are great and I do enjoy the history he talks about but it always knocks me out as well. Keep up the great vids though Surreal!

[@captainklein9171]

I fell asleep watching this one today, I'm just getting time to catch up. Maybe he should start an ASMR channel too.

[@rupert7565]

16:33 that death animation

[@robsealsey5052]

Surreal, bit of a Medieval history note here. The Idea that many locations during the time were relatively unshaped by human hands is a bit erroneous. After thousands of years of habitation, timbering, farming, and other human activity in the area. Even the pre-Columbian Americas were shaped by their inhabitants, as we are finding out more and more that what Europeans thought were virgin forest or untouched land was actually a landscape specifically shaped for hunting or foraging by various peoples. The same applies to Europe.

[@robsealsey5052]

In addition, the English were using a three field crop rotation at the time, which meant that they needed a lot more land cleared for farming that later four field systems would require to feed their people.

[@donxkujo7790]

As you progress later, try sacking and raiding your rivals lands for more income...Also kill Carl whenever you get the chance

[@refinedbrass]

make sure to put Uhtred of Bebbanburg in a army the this gonna be good makes me think of last kingdom on netflix

[@manatarmsbrown736]

@@lewisburrow3946 debatable Vikings looks better costume wise but butchers the history. Last kingdom is very true to the books which themselves are historically accurate (obviously books and show have creative licence)

I think the management and mechanics of britannia are one of the best in the series. The only thing that sucks are the unit and character cards.

Cool total conversion for Attila....oh wait

[@keithpas2222]

You’re voice is so soft and calm

[@kohwai8321]

Lol there's a minor faction called "Djurby" it means "Animal village" in Swedish.

[@Chrivs]

OMG! Looks like your King have sunglasses on xD haha GoGo Danish Dynamite Btw. If you want to have anyone killed xD Dont pay for it xD Just send them out to battle and die

[@brutt56]

love the history lessons

[@hazzballgaming6790]

Another suggestion: The value of trading and resources should be increased. For example, if you trade with a faction that has resources, such as iron or gold and they export those resources to you, the iron should give you troop benefits, and the gold -- more money. This can go very far in my opinion.

[@SurrealBeliefs]

I think so too.

[@anirbanbhattacharya9185]

I like the idea... but waiting for it all this while after Warhammer this game might just be too vanilla, too slow paced, too tedious, and too ... too much to devote myself to except for a brief run though. Remember Rome 2? That was fun without being this slow. It enacted sweeping changes across the global map in a way worthy of Total War- titanic armies clashing across myriad landscapes. Attila got too bland after a while becoming more of a survival game. Ha. Literally. Charlemagne was a breath of fresh air. This fails to excite me. But for some reason really really hyped for Three Kingdoms. Loved Redcliff. Loved it. Hope they continue with the broadly different combat doctrines from Warhammer. With Cao Cao being all out broad bulk push with all out good inf and the best cav. Liu Bei with nice inf spear walls and archers. And the xbows and twohanders from Wu. The differences. And for gods sake CA implement battle effects as well! Like Martial Prowess and My will be done

Guthfrid as King in 878? Wasn't he only made king in 883?

[@Toffypot91]

Extra Credit has a two episode series on the Danelaw. Try not to remake Guthreds mistakes ;)

[@BinkyTheElf1]

“Strat Clut” = later name is Strathclyde. So I’m guessing “Clut” might be “cloot” or “clite”. Good job guessing on most of the others!

[@scarafly]

Subbed due to the voice

[@samuelrichter3417]

Hull-f-dan is more or less the correct pronunciation

[@whoisswhoo]

wait, no garrison, force march or ambush? um... CA?

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Ambushing is a bit odd, the lack of forced march I'm okay with. AI would often use it to escape, though Warhammer 2 had a decent balance on it, I think. Or at least they did it less.

[@adults_talking]

yeah and no unit formations and no ai and on and on and on. you see all that stuff just makes the game too complicated. what we really want and need is a return to the arcade games of the mid 1980s. move the joystick forward and press that one button occasionally. why? i really dont know. maybe the profit margin gets bigger the more simplistic the game?

[@whoisswhoo]

man, i only fear that the cheese tactic will be have a bazzilion mini lord to run around and occupy every single settlement that isnt manned, that would be absurd and annoying. *stare at surreal and whisper dont chu dare do dat*

[@Mazra42]

What the hell kind of a viking accent is the narrator going for in the opening cinematic?

[@SurrealBeliefs]

I feel like they said, "Okay, now try to sound really cool and Vikingish.".

[@Mazra42]

"And slightly Scottish." Can't exactly place it, but it's not even close to Scandinavian, which is weird.

[@cohortConnor]

Anyone else play without even looking at the trade interface? All that goes over my head lol

[@SurrealBeliefs]

It's all automated, so it's really not important to look at in this game.

I keep getting tilted when you say couthbert it's cuthbert :)

[@SurrealBeliefs]

You're not going to get proper pronunciation from me in here. Especially for an older form of English and if you're suggesting modern day pronunciations, I'm not an Englishman. On the other hand, you go over to another town and someone with a different accent may even say it differently. So I'll be tackling it with my American pronunciation.
