I Spent 1000 Years In Kingdoms And Castles HARDEST Difficulty | Full Playthrough / Movie

[@Lathland]

Firstly you can now find the Latest Movies similar to this video on a new playlist - kzbin.info/aero/PLz_s8fD_-7sG5EPAqvXFw6OZK4WiVaLsa Today we embark on the longest run of any city builder I have EVER done on this channel! Going for the "Kingdom Of The Gods" Achievement along with a series of other goals including 10,000 population in the hardest difficulty was a massively time consuming task but also one I LOVED! I really hope you all enjoy this video as Kingdoms and Castles at this point has become something truly special for me at this point!

[@Petq011]

Next do a video/movie like this one, but on Kenshi. 🤣

[@Petq011]

Oh... you haven't played Kenshi on the channel at all... Hmm...

[@MenaceboyMC]

whats the seed? can u tell me pls?

[@clone4211]

Are you aware that there is an option in the Chamber of War to enable hazard pay which doubles the damage of military units?

[@helenpicarella7028]

lathrix can you please play avorion again it was so good and its been updated please revisit it

[@Duskpixie]

Hot tip! Moats count as a valid water source for the waterwheels, so you could build a 3x1 moat with a waterwheel and use that to place bathhouses anywhere on the island without using stone on aqueducts!

[@Lathland]

Oh interesting! Will definitely keep that in mind in the future, thanks! :)

[@marshaenderheart]

That's kinda nuts

[@rioghander2te]

I expected that, if that's possible, that they'd at least check if it connects to a deep water tile, but I guess stagnant water is good enough for a bathhouse...

[@Dark_Boii132]

1 by 1 moat works as well

[@thedude6058]

hmm, raclette? i can smell the cheese from here 😊

[@alexstevens8861]

It would be hilarious if the developers made the viking pathing mostly random just to confuse people who want to take advantage of it.

[@solsystem1342]

Based on how it appears they seem to choose a random legal tile for them to land on. Then they decide where to attack based on something? The algorithm for attacking is definitely disconnected from landing though.

[@unknowngamer37415]

Just look up the challenge runs people have done for Pokemon black/white. The ai on rotation battles is completely random. That means no safe switching no guaranteed KO and no safe switching.

[@karls8103]

bait Viking with gold

[@ZaricaLP]

the problem with the devs doing that, becomes far more clear at the end, where it targets a building it cant hit, so they try to land somewhere they cant land and just.. sit there. but it also points out they do try and go for specific buildings before even trying to land. "No matter how much you try to fight against something, someone will do it anyways and just do it better" - the internet in a nutshell and games in a nutshell.

[@SpiiiiiceeMAN]

@@solsystem1342 Actually no, the pathing of the vikings will start to execute once they get off the ship, as the ship pathing is different from the ground unit vikings. so the ship pathing picks a tile with the least defended and lands there, after that the ground vikings will pick the shortest and least defended route to attack the keep, thats why in the video the vikings land at where Lath quickly placed a land tile from creative mode and the ground vikings quickly made there way to the pier area with no walls as its the shortest route to the Keep.

[@Galvin09670]

Someone get this gentleman an achievement! 1000yr and 10k pops on the hardest difficulty is insane! Well done Lathrix!

[@zano187]

Another helpful trick, horse carts. Just have a few different small storage locations throughout the kingdom and have horse carts move food from overflowing to the small ones where there's no food production. Kinda like semi trucks bringing goods to local distributors.

[@rustyhowe3907]

I LOVE horses for exactly that, they keep my fishing industry efficient.

[@ajaxnation9504]

Idk how to use them :')

[@gijskramer1702]

The jousting knight just shout insults to eachother whilst passing, waiting for the other to die of emotional damage

[@vydave]

Reminds me of the sword-fighting mechanic in Monkey Island

[@ernestlam5632]

The best military strategy is to dig moats that are navigable by ships and have long walls along said moat for which you can fire at the boats and sink them before they ever land.

[@KarolOfGutovo]

A zigzagging canal for the vikings?

[@__-sp5fq]

@@KarolOfGutovoessentially. Line the walls with ballistas and suddenly it doesn’t matter how many Vikingsthey got if they sink in the water

[@Zilican]

This works in hard mode, however it does not work in survival mode in my experiance, the AI seems to be different for the two difficulties. In hard mode the boats will follow the entire path, in survival they land from the boats as soon as thy hit a moat tile.

[@Lucifer_Nihilum]

And less than 50 years later, without the Divine guidance of Lathrix, the Kingdom burns to ashes around them as they stop communicating with the Witch. And a massive Super Plague kills them all.

[@blueghost8878]

I absolutly adore this channel, thank you for your existence.

[@Sterben-9029]

I got myself kingdoms and castles recently. The normal mode was easy I felt like so I played the hardcore or how it's called again and survived fine for the 250 years on first try. And then I tried to continue but after 280 years my kingdom started to crumble. So, it's really impressive to see you survive for 1000 years. Great job!

[@Kaiimei]

I love how this accurately portrays the limitations of medieval cities. They couldn't grow too large or else the poverty, starvation and squalor would get out of control.

[@theflusteredloli4811]

Kingdoms and Castles is a series I’d love to see continued in the future (and maybe Avorion could see a return?)

[@richardwilmer4550]

AVORION!!

[@andrewg8303]

Only one thing left to do... to make it OVER 9000!

[@teifan6674]

"Unemployed people! *Sink that island* !"

[@souloffyrehart4223]

An hour and 40 minutes of fun. Cannot wait to watch!

[@Extremelyaveragegamer123]

Please do this with mods it would make the experience so much more exciting and add a new twist to the gameplay

[@polani397]

I'm so hooked on this game. Even when I'm not playing it I want to watch someone play it. Thanks for the great content!

[@DixeyRay]

You can use the transport carts to move food from storage to markets. Im onlyhalfway through the video but i wanted to let you know. Even if just for engagement.

[@kilbie128]

YES, I was really hoping you would do a 1000 years play through

[@Bloodlyshiva]

I was hoping there's be multiple kingdoms.

[@strugz10]

@@Bloodlyshiva yeah that would make this much better

[@aulvinduergard9952]

What I found to be really good when building my cities is going with a system using 5x5 plots surrounded by roads, and dedicating the squares for specific things (like having a forester inside the city with its own city block). If it's a residential square, I use the very center block for a moat. Why? Because it provides a massive happiness bonus for homes that're built by water, so by building 4 manors surrounding it, you get the biggest boost possible. That'll leave 4 extra 2x1 spots for taverns, chapels, libraries, clinics, wells/fountains, small statues, and the like.

[@Zilican]

After your last 500 years run I attempted my own and reached roughly 1200 years before I restarted. Can't wait to watch the new playthrough!

[@tracejones5070]

I can't wait until he finds out about Diplomacy Is Not An Option.

[@kylewhite5695]

This is an impressive run, great job mate

[@Deleted_Usera86d63]

Man, I remember watching you FTD videos years ago, as well as your Stellaris videos. I love that you are still making content, and that you are still playing all the same games you did from back then. Seeing as you are still making videos about them, I hope you still enjoy playing them as much as I enjoyed watching them. You've got my respect and a sub, keep making what you love. Edit: I just went back into the channel, and I can't believe its been over 4 years since I last watched something from you're channel, and over 6 years since I've found it. Truly all the respect for continuing to enjoy what you do!

[@leventegal1622]

Glory to Lathtopia! To be honest seeing the kingdom undergo its phases slowly converting certain areas was very satisfying eve if stone inefficient, 58:03 I know its just a small unintended bit but I loved how Lath goes "That doesnt seem like a bad idea" instant lightning afterwards XD

[@tkcsilver9578]

can't say how much I've been enjoying these binge worthy vids, keep up the good work Lathrix

[@ly49nkallo]

kingdoms and castles is one of those games that is full of pure charm. Idk why

[@mathiasnielsen7231]

Lathland i have watched you since your first terratech playthrough and i just wanna say you make me go absolutely feral in the best way possible anytime you upload these long videos.

[@doodoofart1438]

Kingdoms and castles is a series we would love to see continued!

[@GrsArt42]

I love watching videos like this.

[@blueanenome2664]

Now I want to see a Crusader Kings playthrough

[@CorruptedVan]

Some antidote here, absolutely great to watch and enjoy. Whether I be watching eating or listening as I fall asleep, it is a joy to have found a creator like you.

[@magmagamer2012]

Can't wait for the stellaris against every crisis on max difficulty. But for now hell yeah more content 😂

[@Crownpanda]

I truly have no idea as to how you managed to make a fast paced 2 hour long video but hey I'm not complaining

[@alexandersalins9285]

13:31 that’s a siege dragon. They are special bc they target military buildings only.

[@catastrophine7640]

Always glad to see another Kingdoms and Castles playthrough!

[@Somerandomedude-go8el]

I just want to comment here because I’ve only recently found your content but I’m loving it so much! I can feel the love you put into this and I just wanted to make my voice known.

[@blacksky121_]

My gen z attention span absolutely hates these long vids But I absolutely love them

[@abyssreader1446]

I don't understand why I enjoy your videos so much, thanks for all these immense fun and entertaining videos you always make.

[@Tom-H1]

FEED THE LONG FORM CONTENT MACHINE

[@SebastianBriggs-sp5kh]

Kingdoms and Castles is a series I wish to see continued in the future!!!!!!!

[@xexzersy]

Wow lath you have grown so much from when i watched you as a preteen

[@Tobi-cd5yy]

I am a giant fan of this type of video I would love to see you play dwarf fortress. I think it would be right up your ally.

[@jakehhg1854]

Love these videos! Raw dnd material

[@SephirothRyu]

I got surprisingly thrown off from your first words NOT being "greetings, you/blah blahs and welcome to etc"

[@adasteele475]

Conveniently I needed a video I could fall asleep to, and this just popped up! Thank you Lathrix!

[@ashwean]

Lathrax: "I think im done being confused cause otherwise every single clip in the video will be me being confused." Everyone of his fans: Its ok Lath were used to it we love you for it

[@Astrad-Antares]

Full playthrough is a series i like to see in a future.

[@serath9220]

The hood been waiting for this one!

[@EachanTee]

Loving this channel I just found❤

[@oygemprime3864]

More of this game, nice! Always a pleasure to watch you play this!

Thanks for the long length content O7

[@eliasnitro9414]

G-reat! work my man! i allways get sheered up by youre videos!

Banger after banger! FTD, K&C, Banished.. Damn Lath, youre on a roll, brother!

[@davidchambers331]

Comment for the comment lords, Engagement for the algorithm. All hail Lathland. May lathopia stand for a 1000 more years!!!!

[@laahba8413]

keep up this amazing content its what gets me through writing papers

[@just_a-nice-guy438]

This guy is an absolute legend!!

[@dogosrobert69]

This game is sooo satisfying to watch

[@Wrecker81]

Love the content like this, since you like Stonehearth so much though, have you considered RimWorld at all? Seems like something up your alley!(Especially with all the mods.)

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

I've always known that Lathrix is definitely more situational aware and intelligent than he's giving himself credit for, but this sets that belief in stone! Makes me wonder how efficient Lathrix can make his next attempt, because there has to be another attempt, when he uses a rudimentary plan with all the tips and tricks that he has gathered throughout these recent videos! Same end goals as this run, with a ambition of reaching it earlier and seeing if it's possible to squeeze even more efficiency out of the game. Modular approach where surplus is minimized, for ultimate efficiency?

[@mirdordinii5783]

Lath, I thought I'd point out another solution to getting food and other supplies across your city would have been to set up a transport network with carts/boats. That way, market works don't have to run the whole way. Besides, they look cool.

[@iReady1234]

I love these!!!

[@SolSteal]

That's Crazy my dude you did the full 1000 years ending with 10085 people you have made it to the new age. I hope they add a new era to this game I want to see you they your had that that if they do add it. The new era would have cannons and very basic fire arms aside from x-bows if you compare it to the real world.

[@Prospkt]

Thanks for these videos man!

[@zanielkun]

loving the longer videos. keep up the great work!

[@BeachBoy20]

25:40 it is slew, it definitely sounds weird though

[@disguisedskeleton7592]

The greatest empire of the millennium! Long live Lathland!

[@alfabounty]

I always enjoy your videos!! They are the best 👍

[@thatdollfin3369]

This is really cool! I love your videos on this game.

[@PercyThePenguin654]

If Lath does a challenge like this again he should add some mods. Something like a housing mod so he can make truly a higher class and lower class area, or a mod that makes the land differently.

[@nagendraprasadsingh4489]

Love the long format videos 😊

[@jaysonallman8635]

Absolutely love your long form content!

[@unknowngamer37415]

I love the long form content.👍

[@reliablyradioactiveraven6219]

I think a cool challenge run would be making a floating kingdom if possible. Like you can only build on the piers you place. Not sure how possible that is but would be interesting!

[@maxwilson264]

I have watched 1 minute of the video and already know That this video is gonna be awesome, keep it up👍

[@Adanor]

Long videos can work well as we can see. Keep the good work Lath. Love ya

[@aggelosvassallo8590]

i'd love to see more stone hearth. i always loved the series since the first ep i believe (i was too yong to remember if i wached it as it came out or if i binged it). in my personal opinion one of the best series on this chanel, right under from the depths

[@purerussianvodka_]

Hey lathrix, it might be smart to put ballistas on your outer walls, the vikings ship seam to hug them for a while, and the balistas will kill the shop before they even land.

[@Grimnir309]

Glad to see you finding your path in the youtube ecosystem, so entertaining to watch you play these citybuilders. BTW, i recommend surviving mars or Farthest Frontier, both seem right up your alley. Cheers!

[@bjboss1119]

I feel like this needs to be an easter egg now for reaching 1000 years. "The god Lathrix smiles upon your city" or smth

[@Palitato]

I think you're the one youtuber I have watched the mos t videos from in which I do not remember any of the content at all, because they're so absolutely perfect to fall asleep to. I know a heck of a lot about the beginning of Stellaris and K&C but couldn't begin to tell you what the mid or end game is like. xD

[@Jaydee-wd7wr]

There should be like a meteorite spell or something from the witch that spawns more stone, it’s a really weird gameplay mechanic to just run out of stone and have to ship it in.

[@squa_81]

king lathrix led his people for a thousand years… i think goddly is indeed befitting!

[@chris-toffee]

I’ve just found you and watched this and your Banished movie back to back. Great content. Thank you.

[@cf453]

I would like long-form content to continue in the future.

[@Thinkreligious123]

You must do 1000 years survival mod with 3 very high skill kingdoms , just do everything hard, it’s enjoyable 🔥🔥

[@spinesauce2687]

The only thing that was disappointing was not getting a title for 10,000 citizens. love the playthrough though, I love this kinda content!

[@michaelkeller5152]

Such a great channel to find! Love the long playthroughs

[@JesusRaptureUsNow]

Something that would be hilarious is to take advantage of the early-game Vikings ai by building max walls all around the deep water so that they can’t get into the city. Then, you could funnel them through a choke point in the front and take them out with a small army of archers and soldiers. I’d love to see Lathland try that out in the next playthrough.

[@CoAndCoLaptopAccount]

Loving all the long form videos!!

[@maxrichards2295]

10 minutes in and already enjoying it a ton! Love the vids, Never fails to brighten up my day!

[@KarolOfGutovo]

you should try using gardens as roads wherever possible. It'd make your subjects much happier, and iirc it only costs gold and wood (which you have in abundance)

[@leinine1834]

1h40minutes of kingdoms and castles and it still felt much shorter than that, i just can't get enough

[@TENGILL]

Love the longform videos, best day of the week when i see an upload from you!

[@BossVJBeast]

perfect end to a friday really enjoyed the whole video

[@sir_kyber]

The return of the King(doms and Castles)!

[@pjo228]

Love the videos Lathrix I watched you since you were first playing terratech and since you started from the depths hope you are doing great!

[@bboollll]

thanks for yet another great video. i cant imagine the work that goes into these longfrom videos even if i can imagine the time just to play through them. (playtime alone that is not the edit and processing times) love the longform vids both for active watching and running on spare screen while i play. well worth it as a viewer to wait for the next upload. i know they are horrible for youtube algo's but thankful for the time and effort you put into these :)

[@vilmaksp3054]

I would love to see more of Kingdoms and Castles!

[@theterminado8638]

I’d love to see another 1000 years, but with islands and maybe neighborly AI, maybe one to be your friend and another be your enemy
