@@bunnyfist4697 Love that similar has actually happened before too. See; The guy who employed the (literal-ized) Empty Fort strategy in the defense of a city because he was vastly outnumbered by the army led by his rival military strategist, whom he knew well enough to know his rival would overthink the situation and call his attack off out of fear that this guy had a lot more soldiers than he actually had. I forget their names v-v As for something that's actually a lot more like the whole "only 11???", see the story of the Belgian Chasseurs Ardennais Regiment in WW2 (as sung about in Resist And Bite by Sabaton)

[@ZombieSazza]

Hilariously in Scotland our old politicians did write passive aggressive letters, I dunno about the staring tho. One of my all time favourites was a local Ballater politician writing to the Scottish railway company in a very passive aggressive manner “well if you don’t want to construct a toilet at your train station then Queen Victoria simply wouldn’t be interested in visiting your station, that would be embarrassing”. They constructed the toilet (which is now preserved in a nearby hotel, yes I’ve visited it).

Yeah it's kinda funny seeing KZbinrs playing this game and intentionally setting up "silly" housing plots and farms and stuff, when in reality medieval land divisions were often an absolute mess of nonsensical strips and family assignments of random parcels all over the countryside. Generations of inheritance rights and shortsighted communal decision-making resulted in horribly inefficient land management and overall productivity. I know this happened in England and I'm pretty sure there was a similar situation in Russia, so I assume it was a pretty widespread phenomenon that only started getting sorted out in the 18th/19th centuries

[@XoIoRouge]

It's unfair to actual QA testers to say that Josh will "do more work than [...] an entire QA department put together." That is undeserved. Josh spends a very long time making a funny video. An entire QA department spends a much shorter amount of time, writes up a thorough report, and remains in communication to keep testing after updates. I don't deny what you said - Josh will end up showing bugs, and advertising. While I don't necessarily think he's doing it for free, Josh is much cheaper than an employee. However, Josh will take MANY months to release a video, and I can't speak for certainty if Josh even replies back to the developer with a QA Report. Lastly, it can be very important for a game company to not reveal their unfinished game publicly. Josh doesn't replace QA and I'm just tired of seeing so many folks unknowingly belittle QA testers because Josh shows one or two issues.

[@kerakhunter-b3n]

@@McP1mpin Actually, knowing about bugs super-early can be beneficial. See, if he finds a bug that's part of the core of the game in early access it's easier at this stage to fix. Let's take fable 1's market system for example. In the original, one could buy a house, break the door, place a trophy on the all and sell the house. Walk in and grab the trophy, re-buy the house and put the trophy back on the wall. Since the transaction is the same every time, the player gets the additional money for selling the house, and then getting the trophy back puts the value of the house below what was sold. If this was caught at this stage, that system could have been re-designed quickly to prevent this kind of abuse. Finding bugs is always a good thing, and better early on. Finding something like skyrim's god-level enchantments can be fixed anytime, but would have been easier early on too (if skyrim cared about bugs. Let's be real here).

And a complete disregard for safety and logic wud make a good subtitle for the human species; so i truly can believe its possible mushroom clouds were made in China in like the 600s AD just bcuz they were muckin about with lots of explosives and the historical records are quite muddied over there with myths woven into every layer of their history

300 of Enemies Soldiers: *"I'm gonna Raze all your Land in 365 days!"* (11 Mens are coming towards 300 Soldiers standing still) 11 Mens: Yo! *(365 Days Later..)* 300 of Enemies Soldier: "I'm bored! i take it back! i surrender in peace! take all my land, please my lord!"

[@Mernon4ym6661]

Fun glitch in the game: You can build these towers that increase the amount of soldiers you can have in your army. You can however only place a limited amount of them. This limit does not work. You can keep expanding your army infinitely

[@xxsmokerxx6477]

I love how Josh turned from Ima enjoy games with my bro To *IM GONNA MAKE DEVELOPERS SCARED OF ME*

[@bluebirdfish8171]

Holy moly this game has so much potentional. It looks great for a beta. Can't wait what crazy things will u do after it comes out normally haha

[@FunFlix2964]

Josh's cyclical dance of war and peace with another army, each skirmish followed by a fragile truce, resembles a theatrical performance where his militia plays the starring role, repeatedly thwarting the enemy's advances at his command. It's a saga where victory and ceasefire intertwine in a script only Josh could write. Love You man 😘

[@SirCluckety]

Hilderbert really came in clutch! What with the constant peace negotiations and randomly saving the town despite the fact the townsfolk were stopping him expanding his land

[@Redone344]

I feel Josh and Graystillplays would be friends

[@sofiaestrada6238]

Once callmekevin interviewed Josh and he talked a lot about Gray and how he had learned so many things from him about getting popular and making entertaining content and stuff like that.

They are my 2 favorite to watch I'm so glad someone else noticed lol

[@cassie.m.0723]

Josh's creativity never fails to astound and confuse

[@whythx]

2:40 lmao that accent though 😂😂😂 First time heard Josh doing an accent

[@blastmole299]

He channeled some of Anthony's voice acting spirit, still can't beat the voice acting for Leo from A Way Out's vids though

[@MaxTheDeafo]

Josh's Lord voice cracks me up. Everyone at the party went quiet when I laughed hard

[@XescoPicas]

26:11 I really like the strategy of Cask-of-Amontillado-ing the enemy army. Very avant-garde

[@kutura_P]

You know it will be a crazy video when the game is in early access

[@woomy7.7]

I love how Josh uploads at 6PM so I'm able to easily watch it. For other things, it's either midnight or 8 AM.

[@pdxcorgidad]

It's 8AM here, so now he's making me get up earlier.

[@tartu2583]

4:30PM here :D

[@JessemyBeadle]

Everyone Josh says ‘much better’ I do genuinely feel a ping of joy

17:02 when i'm in a being late competition and my opponent never showed up

[@michelinman2809]

One day I want him to just release a video of him playing a game complete normally and then go back to breaking everything the next game and never address the normal gameplay video

[@LeoFieTv]

I love that the villagers are lifting the corpses from the legs instead of the back. Healthier that way. Also I'd love to know if you can make the corpse pit into a salpeter pit, which is one ingridient for black powder, the others are sulfur and charcoal. Also does this game have charcoal burners? Does it think about ressources like chalk and salt and vinegar and other important materials for a functioning premodern society? Or is it just the usual ressources of wood and metal?

[@captaingamebreaker_yo]

Oh god hey we go again when I hyperventilate due to laughing to much from him finding a bug

[@BerzerkaDurk]

25:36 i'm loving the volleyball helmets

[@AllTFfour]

21:45 ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[@The_John_Doe69]

This is the iconic Josh we all love to watch break games.

[@SveaGe]

Naming the village "Waldbrand" would have been pretty fitting actually, as it means Forest Fire in German

[@KlcMashups]

Josh's accent was on point this video lmao

[@82dorrin]

If Bethesda was a feudal lord.

[@Oatfilms]

Nah we be getting spoiled with the amount of uploads from Josh recently.

[@coolgaming7109]

I love this channel because 1. It has good gaming content 2. Every time I watch it, I die of laughter 3. It shows me new games I should play

[@medigoomnis]

I always foolishly watch Josh while eating a meal and then struggle not to spit my meal all over as I laugh. Giving you a key is one of the best things buildy-type games can do for advertisement. I legit want to try playing a lot of the games you play either legitimately, like you, or both!
