Ahh if we could only go back in time to live in a different age, I would stay right here.

[@metatronyt]

Very good video, and loved the animations and sound effects

[@anjribird4086]

Hello, I watch your videos lol.

[@Jeracraft]

This is absolutely amazing, loving the new change madnes! Dragon Slayer all the way!

[@Madnes64]

Jeracraft No Jeremy! How could you support Spencer and his delusional profession! ! :O

[@Jeracraft]

***** I was once a dragon slayer myself... =/

[@Madnes64]

Jeracraft How much did Spencer pay you to say that??

[@Jeracraft]

***** Fine you got me there... I was nothing but a farmer.. haha =[

[@wariorgeden]

Jeracraft ***** My 2 icons amazing !

[@brianedwards7142]

I always imagined being a plowman with a bullock because oxen are strong but they don't work all day so when the bullock gave up for the day I would (reluctantly) be forced to take him home and we would chill together in the byre.

[@breauxcraft75]

well done, man. you can tell this series has your attention to detail. i hope you keep up this kind of high standard in all your endeavors. your minecraft vids are an inspiration, and its fun to see your passions and design work level up!

[@dizzyaaron]

VERY WELL DONE! Congrats on your project and thank you for sharing! Came out awesome! :D

[@abbyvilayne]

Beautiful drawings! Though I more or less knew everything already, I still enjoyed watching it. Keep making these kind of videos!

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

Very pretty artwork! Matt king did an absolutely wonderful job!

[@69dm]

I like your new picture and channel design

[@RustyGamesWins]

You should discuss village habits too! The little gardens and free range chickens and cows. Also the wandering pigs! I love medieval history but I would never want to live back then!

[@BLTspace]

This was so good Madnes! This whole time is fascinating to me. Love the sketches as well. I would want to be a carpenter if possible... or dragon slayer lol. Looking forward to more of these and also that Alf cameo xD. Great job, really. Keep em coming!

[@stepbro1153]

Awesome video madness! You've just earned a new sub! Also your tutorials are very helpful :D

[@Flamma2Games]

At first I wasn't too psyched about the idea when you told us in another video but I really like this vid! keep 'em coming!

[@jezza4133]

Love the new intro and the whole setting of the video with the medieval feel to it. Well Done, keep it up. Also loved the Age of Empires sound references!

[@bassemhammoudi]

Hello Madness! Great video. I would love to see a tutorial on a monastery, the medieval school thing

[@MsXtremeCamper]

Super Format, musst du auf jeden Fall weiter machen!! War garantiert viel Arbeit das alles zu zeichnen:P Und ich will wohl Spencer werden:)

[@STARPHROST]

This is AMAZING!! I love the artwork. If I were living in medieval times, I'd probably be a scrivener / librarian or baker.

[@lozzaproductions121]

STARPHROST Fabulous, I'd definitely visit your bakery!! I'd be a stonemason or blacksmith maybe

[@elasolezito]

@@lozzaproductions121 Blacksmith, even now i would like to learn the art.

[@agadgsgdfgsasadsfdg]

I would be a wizard lol

[@LordDany]

[@JBMorris9]

Who is going to die for his/her highness ambitions hmmm?

[@curvedlines]

Great work. Great series!

[@stryker1872]

You have really inspired me, thanks madnes64

[@Jeracraft]

Another great minecraft KZbinr falls =/ its so sad to see you go, I used to follow both you & Jamziboy all the time and thanks to you & him, I managed to get to where I am today..

[@RedLikeRanger]

true :( i sad what he left i dont know reson why :/

[@xToDiee]

+Jeracraft This is sad...

[@zakback9937]

i think its so people can continue his ways of builds to be preserved or improved

[@toby109tt6]

:(

[@FungusStew]

I remember seeing you in the comment section of jamziboy and madnes64 videos a few years ago when you had maybe 2-3000 subs, don't result remember how long. I am now subscribed to you, good job

[@NinnyVids]

Oh my goodness, thank you sooo much. Me and my friends are working on a minecraft roleplay server that's mainly based off the medieval ages. Your builds and this helped a lot. Thank you! It would be great if i knew more people who could both build medieval buildings and know how they works aswell. XD

[@oktopus2665]

what is the server ip? if it's allowed to ask ;)

[@NinnyVids]

Oh! wowie! Glad you asked :O The IP is play.lucridem.com, we're still in beta, so don't expect a lot of people on XD Thanks for asking!

[@pastellaquin7862]

I can build medieval as well, but I'm not as good as Mad is though (he's like 10x better xD) I am also good with rustic builds too, maybe like skyships and cabins. If you want, it is a little bit late to reply but I can be maybe some kind of build team on that server (if it's a Minecraft sever without any mod downloads, I may be good at video game building but I really suck at computer programming)

[@NinnyVids]

Xx_PinkiePink_xX Yes! it is a vanilla minecraft server, and there indeed is a build team, but are you just planning on joining for the builds, or do you want to roleplay on it aswell? :o

[@OakKodama]

Very nice, hopefully we will see more of these informational videos :)

[@Deatheater36509]

Loved the video. Could you maybe make another going into detail about certain things such as wether or not a feudal lord ruled under a higher power, such as a king, and what the differences between them were?

[@kippbangham8313]

Please make more of these!! They are pretty cool and I think they are very interesting!!!

[@mrlothar6448]

This is excellent! I love the age of empire sounds, and ofcourse the wilhelm scream. xD

[@johnfireblast]

Alwase love talking about cool stuff like this

[@ScreamDesignPlay]

Love this series already ;D

[@isaacstevens1912]

You put together amazing videos, and deserve every sub you have, so here's another one!

[@cormacphillips2585]

Beautiful artwork

[@Creatore01]

Nice video :D looks like this will be a good series :)

[@supbruh1583]

Love this video!!

[@helastico]

This is awesome!

[@theyoutubebuccaneer5516]

This is gonna help me with my adventure map

[@johnnyawesomegtb6037]

Your vids give me a Lou of inspiration when it comes to my crafting. I have issues with planning though. Like how to plan a build so it's not identical to someone else's. You should post a video explaining your thought process when planning a build so that others like myself aren't 100% copying tutorials and are able to start building their own. I've got several ideas in my head but no ideas on how to use them lol.

[@TheMadisonHang]

Your drawings really make this do come alive

[@sugar9451]

thank u so much it was really useful

[@ryvuhl.]

love this, more please

[@stuchly1]

awesome video!

[@walruswithebola1199]

Madnes, please upload again ;_; You were the reason I ever wanted to start building medieval-styled structures and I've gotten so far and made my way up the "medieval building ladder" that I've even contributed to the Conquest texture pack, but now you're gone and I wanna die

[@ChrisselLP]

Cooles Konzept ;) Gefällt mir, besonders die Animationen :)

[@SchergeSatans]

+1 for Wilhelm scream. Great project, I hope there will be more of it...?

[@Madnes64]

SchergeSatans I do hope so too :)

[@jaerae8144]

Nice Alf reference there. Had me chuckling. Wasn't expecting it.

[@LordSethize]

I absolutely loved that you used the Age of empires sounds.

[@alerouc]

my friend transferred your city of Kargeth/Thasarion and I must say good job sir!

[@levigilantee4600]

Maybe you could do a tutorial of the interior of buildings. And especially the differences between large and small interior rooms and how to fill in big spaces.

[@CaptainXRex]

a story which is heartwarming and soft like a mother's kiss

[@hemaccabe4292]

Great video.

[@artillator5722]

This video is awesome. Good work Madnes. I also noticed the Age of Empires sound effects xD

[@Madnes64]

Artillator Glad you can appreciate the sounds :)

[@artillator5722]

Of course :) Age of Empires is the best :D

[@CaptainXRex]

Bin gespannt wo das hinführt. Ich schau deine Videos schon seit Jahren und bin immer dankbar neue Bauweisen und ähnliches durch eine gute Erklärweise zu lernen und jz noch mehr geschichtliches zu Erfahren wird bestimmt gut. (Aus Angst vor englischer Grammatik auf Deutsch geschrieben). Freu mich schon auf die neuen Videos.

[@voxer3060]

Awesome !

[@egrif]

"No, Spencer, you can't be a Dragonslayer.No, Spencer. No. No Spencer. Bad kitty." I'm loving the new genre of the chanel! Very interesting :-)

[@erikmohr-skogan3784]

Pleas keep this up. I really like this.

[@Altermaster13]

This was a really cool video! It'd be awesome if you could do more of these kind of videos :3 Also I would probably work in textiles since they would probably be more wealthy than other merchants because of the type of market it was.

[@micahsponsler9172]

Age of Empires! Still one of my favorite games, I'm glad you used some of that in the video. Keep it, I'm loving the series!

[@Slothington1]

Love those Age of Empires sound effects.

[@nationofrice2866]

You were one of my favorite youtubers. I basically learned everything from you... Where'd you go? :(

[@Antroz59Mc]

Words cannot explain how much jizz there is on my floor at this moment. Thanks for the awesome series! This is just what I needed as a series (and I was actually in the making of something along these lines. I guess I'll just change the way I annimate things actually.) But yeah, tons of efforts into this video! Thanks for bringing us some great content like this! keep the awesome work! SideNote: New channel art and other changes really make this channel professionnal. It's nice to see that everything is going well for you!

[@boazbatelaan2425]

Awesome btw

[@MannyXVIII]

Oh bless you for that AoE 2 gimmic. Da will man doch gleich wieder die CD raussuchen, danke dafür.

[@2g1atutorialsenglish80]

Man what an inspirational video! The drawings alone gives me the urge to build something in Minecraft.

[@Alfamon717]

Cathedral builder. Gothic cathedral builder. I know that technically it's not a profession because lots of different guilds joined efforts to build these, but I LOVE Gothic cathedrals and I design one every week.

[@gavinmckenzie234]

Madness64 you were the one who made me become a pro at minecraft! i used to build dirt houses, now i built crazy awesome buildings! you were a big inspiration to me! R.I.P my dear friend...😫😔

[@rtep5]

+Hawkmations look he uploaded a video explaining where he has been on april 2016 check his channel he is finally back!!

[@bigrushmom2870]

Hey can u make a video about tips for the ride and the left side of the house becose i really like the front/back but don't know what to make at the side

[@vincentthendean7713]

Ah, even this great video fell victim to the street poo myth. Though to be fair they did say not all cities are like this particular example in the beginning and also said people (especially nobles) care about hygiene. At least they didn't say everyone drank beer instead of water. Too many people want to know more about castles but ignore towns and cities. Nice to see someone made a video about the topic.

[@fbimotherfucker6883]

that castle AoE sound brings back so many memories.

[@corvuslycidas8754]

I really look forward to more of these kinds of videos. The artwork is beautiful, and inspire me to draw too (but I am not nearly as good as Matt King in this video). I also learn a lot. One thing I would love to see would be one about medieval castles (how they were defended, important rooms or things, how they were built up etc...)

[@EBProductions]

Wow what is this channel turning into? :o

[@bobjoe6260]

A better channel than yours

Loved that 'Dragon Slayer' part

[@planeofimmanence2157]

Awesome :D

[@Steve2Work]

I would have been a professional kitten juggler. . Enjoyed this, as well as your impressive builds. Thank you.

[@jenniferpawlowski2747]

Hey madness, hoffe mal du warst 2 monate lang im Urlaub :D Ne jetzt mal ehrlich; Du musst auf jeden fall weiter machen! Come on!

[@senecazelis1877]

YAY MORE!!!

[@EBProductions]

OMG awesome :D

[@voyaristika5673]

Concise and informative. I enjoyed this video, and really am glad that Spencer gets to be a dragon slayer. I think he'll do very well because he sounds so cute.

[@barboll2604]

Very well done ;p

[@rainulffelton8590]

loving it, would be cool to hear some details about the medieval town law... would help me know if the city I built is actually a town.

[@lucifereldiablo7770]

i loved your builds, sad to see you stop 😭

[@TheTrigzHD]

omg madness I haven't watched in years. you're the best man keep it up! always inspiring

[@bigsmoke1658]

Hey Madness. The last time you did an update on your server's other cities by other builders was a while ago, I can remember the Kargeth update #7, and I think there may have been another one at some point. Although I wouldn't mind seeing more of the other builder's work, what do you think of this? What if you and the other builders were to try and build a massive city in between the others? I would love to see the clashing and merging of the different styles and cultures that would take place. If the bunch of you tried not to make your buildings close together or bunched up, the other builders would have space to mix their own creations in with one another. I get the feeling this idea sounds like absolute chaos, but what if it's not? I can only dream of what all of you combined can do when you put your minds to it.

[@bigsmoke1658]

Hey Madness. I remember when you posted videos about the other builder's creations, Kargeth update #7, and maybe something else, it's been a while. I would like to see more of that, but I had an idea. What if, in between all the other cities, you and the other builders all came together and built a massive city? The way the styles and cultures would clash and merge could be amazing, I can only wonder what it might look like. If all of you decided to follow your own styles and build spaced out enough so that other builders could build next to each other, the out come could be disharmonic, or it could mesh and blend perfectly. Just a thought.

[@Thramoun]

I just love the building site in the lower right corner at ~1:21. It's suposed to be the one from Age of Empires 2 right? There's no way I could forget those!

[@Madnes64]

Thramoun Sharp eye, yes I spent half of my childhood playing that game :P

[@Thramoun]

***** I can already tell with my sharp eye that this is going to be an extremely interesting series, I especially enjoyed the part on politics :)

[@ryanhilliard1620]

This is hilarious! 😂Subscribed!!

[@AstraSims-]

guessing madnes64 stopped making videos

[@abbyvilayne]

Hey Madness, where are you? We miss you. This video is amazing, and I'd love to see you make more. Please, come back to us!

[@CaptainXRex]

I would like to watch a video abaout world editing commands (How you enter it. What they do and how you use them in the best Way.) You can explain things so well.

[@baked8900]

We miss you come back!

[@kilianernst375]

hast du gut echt gut gemacht!!!schonmal lehrer in erwägung gezogen?

[@powerist209]

Part of me wonder about cities in other regions like Byzantines and Arabs. Even Byzantines feel like breaking everything about medieval archetypes: like Monarch being treated as office (joint-rule, successors picked out of courtiers along with heirs, and even call for abdiciation), urbanized, Greco-Roman, professional army, and more educated. Arabs being similiar, at least in urbanized, and more educated part.

[@theyoutubebuccaneer5516]

I loved this episode history is so cool

[@Mrsimonmaxi]

Those age of empires sounds

[@Madnes64]

I am Simon Glad someone appreciates them :)

[@qtMure]

Madnes64 you play Minecraft?

[@EternalShadow1667]

@Andrew Glydwell he tried to troll. He failed miserably.

[@udesiibaarur6635]

What is the best way to develop your own personal style when it comes to medieval builds? I mean it was great that you helped with the tutorials but I'm looking to try and branch out with my own things to try and build my city in a unique way. So far it has a lot of Kargeth's feel like it could be a sub city from your world but would like to make it better.

[@albertjansson152]

Good video. Not repeating the myths like many do.

[@sadcatman1057]

Whered you gooo i miss you soo seems like its been forever that youve been gone.. Please come back home..

[@sadcatman1057]

yeah i like all the boobs

[@laoaidan2400]

That cat makes some good points

[@turtletutorials8984]

Why no uploads anymore?

[@jesperdenkvist2873]

Very good, Gut!! By that u will "hast eine guten tag!" :)

[@CmbrockmanBuilds]

This was brilliant , I love this so much, it may not be minecraft, but who really cares , you'd be a better world civ teacher then my world civ teacher himself , please do more of this!

[@TheMiig1513]

The conversation with your cat was hilarious, dude. All too relateable..

[@ellathompson5696]

I have started to build a medival city, but my first few buildings in front of the castle are not connected, should I delete them and start again or should I try and find a way to connect them ?

[@tomschevette]

If your every come to Ireland take a trip to Galway city the city still as most of its medieval building and streets still there in plane sight you can even get to see bits of the town walls and a castle in the middle of the city.

[@Madnes64]

tomschevette Google just told me that it's very pretty. Need to come to Ireland soon :O

[@tomschevette]

***** I used to work in Galway and would spend hours walking the city seeing all the buildings. From my grandparents house there is Pallas Castle a military stronghold from 1236 and right up to about 8 years ago you could go in and climb to the top now you can't but you can still walk the walls. Near me is portumna castle built in 1610 an a abbey right behind it. I have too many castles or abbeys near me throw a stone and I could hit one.

[@Madnes64]

tomschevette Sounds like alot of fun. I envy you for having alot of historic medieval sights so close to you :)
