SUPER POPE - AI Only Campaign: Medieval 2 Total War

[@MelkorGG]

New MELKOR Discord: discord.gg/nbJQtvbXDg Welcome to the First Ever: 1 Hour + Long AI Only Campaign!

[@GodofToast]

We have reached the absolute pinnacle of what can be done in this game

[@LordWyatt]

I was needing a Melkor fix😎

[@Randomstuffs261]

I receive so much serotonin when I see that Melkor notification pop up

[@barfcaveman91]

An idea for the wheel have it choose a faction every 20 turns then leave it to chance whether it gets destroyed, helped with gold, bankrupted, a free army, an army getting destroyed, free territory, losing a territory. Ya know make utter chaos

[@MelkorGG]

I like it!

[@Ottocide]

I love this idea!

[@mariotomov]

How about an AI only but you switch the Mongols with Scotland so on turn 65 a massive scottish army arrives in the middle east.(Maybe this time they will do something)

[@MelkorGG]

XD

[@MDE_never_dies]

Love this

[@TealWolf26]

That's hilarious!

[@kianbakker3691]

Ill again give the suggestion rtw but weakest faction gets a army of yutseb elephants with gold to help the upkeep of the army every 20 turns

[@kianbakker3691]

You cqn also make ot by the wheelspin instead of the qeakest

[@Вейн-э5б]

This messed up the AI so bad that Portugal landed in Normandy instead of Wales!

[@michaelaburns734]

That's a lot of Excommunications.

[@MelkorGG]

HOnestly, I expected more.

[@Snipergod1024]

How about... AI campaign, but all settlements are randomised? So England could start off with Constantinople and Jerusalem, Scotland with Baghdad, Hungary with Dublin and Zaragoza, etc. It would certainly mix things up, and maybe the various factions might do something!

[@devrenfreestone1272]

Wheel of doom idea that lends itself more to a series than a single video - Every time the wheel selects a faction, you take control of that faction and spend some small number of turns doing everything you can to strengthen the faction during those turns. Probably a faction per video? Maybe two? You fight the battles=optional. Maybe you also get an infusion of cash to help them out. Could be interesting to see you build up the Greeks one time then get the Macedonians the next round. The Seleucids need to pray they get picked early or you won't have a chance to help them. We all get to fall in love with factions and then watch as the AI brutalizes them. Maybe you run this on Greek Mod or something?

[@Ottocide]

Ive got an idea for a unique spin on the Wheel of Doom. On every milestone where the WoD gets implemented, you will actually spin the wheel twice so that two nations are selected, bringing them onto the Wheel of Fate. One nation gets a chunky cash injection/free army or any other prize you think would be more influential. The other is completely obliterated! This will create some great suspense for when our favorite nations gets put on the chopping block!

[@Smile_Content]

idea: AI Only Campaign covering the kingdoms campaigns! great video :)

[@MelkorGG]

I've done those in the past, yet perhaps I should go back at some point.

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

Wheel idea: Give the winning faction 10K and a mercenary stack. New spin every 5-10 turns or something like that. Afaik you can do this with console commands but you might have to teleport an emissary to give them their winnings.

[@Azzar19]

Idea for a video, if possible - each time a faction defeats another one, they inherit their money (or debt) as well as diplomatic relations that nation previously had

[@Atom-711]

Damn I miss watching these videos. Thanks melkor!

[@RTB3550]

18:34. Scotland doing nothing in every campaign is painfully accurate.

[@danman7584]

Just finding out Melkor is back! Good to have you back on KZbin brother

[@doctorgeneric8070]

Two wheel idea. One with all the provinces listed, and the other with the factions. Every 25 turns, gift the selected faction the selected territory, potentially bringing back a lost faction.

[@maximusagricola]

Cool idea, good to see you back. Looking foward to what you come up with next.

[@Peonforlife]

What a fun result! I agree that Portugal earned 3rd. Thanks for your time and voice, hope it recovers quickly

[@RyanW324]

Straight lines look fine, maybe do an AI campaign with factions having all settlements in a straight latitude line? I don't know how difficult that would be but it would be aesthetically pleasing at the start :'D

[@jamieict]

Props to Egypt at 6:48. With Jerusalem and Cyprus taken, they're well on their way to reclaiming their R:TW borders.

[@pyrrhusthegreat2103]

I honestly first thought it would just make the Pope OP, but I 'm so happy to see I was very wrong!

[@MelkorGG]

More land means more problems XD But yes, I also thought it would too.

[@todorivanov8252]

Holy S, you're back!

[@kyleburke4813]

The wheel of Doom turns the faction that is supposed to die into the smallest faction every 30 turns if it is the same Faction it dies.

[@drarsen33]

Two things worked for Russia. First, they are not held back by excommunication mechanics. Free settlements for easy start. Second, no hordes spawning in their lands and two hordes taking each other out.

[@Ottocide]

This was the greatest AI campaign Ive ever seen. So many sleeping giants that took half the game to wake up. Some never woke up. Massive Russian navy in Wales Horde v horde decimation Migrating nations The HRE finally earning the "R" but at the cost of its "E" So. Many. Failed. Crusades. This game had it all!! All it took was for the Pope to be Irish :)

[@MelkorGG]

XD

[@NotlostMoon]

He is back!! Amazing.

[@GAMER123GAMING]

27:01 Historically accurate

[@mrmoogamings435]

Wheel of Doom, but instead of completely removing them entirely, they loss half their settlements and replace them with Wales. (Or just the Rebel faction I haven't played modded Medieval II Total War)

[@DissociativeIdentity]

You can tell that the Holy Roman Emperor just really wanted to become the Pope in this campaign. And once he got into Rome, no-one could get him out. 😁

[@geo.m1639]

Very nice

[@tenchimuyo69]

I didn't know cities could defect to another in vanilla MTW2. I mean it isn't vanilla but you get the idea. I wonder if it is specifically caused by the Pope owning the provinces.

[@MelkorGG]

It's possible without them under Papal Control, but I don't know how it is decided

[@lachlantait2106]

Based on culture in settlement will determine whether they rebel or join another faction

[@zacheidenry6206]

I'm so glad you're back

[@EduardoGlass8]

AI only campaign idea: Third Age Divide And Conquer but all-non Orc factions have been removed and all remaining orc factions have been set to neutral. Orc Total War

[@sfreakc]

6:30 it's the Hungry -Austrian empire, ofcourse

[@Chris-ve8xw]

MELKOR yay

[@uspo8326]

You’re a natural for future Doritos ads

[@MelkorGG]

XD Someday I will get that sponsorship!

[@MDE_never_dies]

I see a Melkor Medieval II Video, I click.

[@asirry3144]

I have a video idea, what if the rebels were more aggressive. Attacking factions and beige settlements

[@MelkorGG]

If I knew how to Mod it, I would

[@maximusd26]

thanks for another experiment ! the way you pronounce "Rennes" just kills me

[@LordWyatt]

I got an idea: the weakest and worst AI factions challenge. France being the first on the list, as they do terrible every game but when a player controls them they quickly become OP. Scotland second. It’s rare to see them do anything. Maybe Portugal third.

[@tirador_05]

ahh tis goood to be back!!

[@makr9592]

Some ideas: 1. Everyone at war and no diplomats. 2. Mongols and timurids spawn at round 2 with new destination Rome. 3. Every X turns the settlements of the strongest and the weakest nation change wach other but the armys stay at the old spot. 4. Start for everyone with fully grown settlements and all technology

[@MelkorGG]

Nice Ideas! 1. Planning on it, just need to make the Mod. 2. I'll do something similar, if I can find a modder. 3. Too complex, sadly. 4. I'm already considering this, but for a lets play/stream. Could certainly do an ai only on it also.

[@drarsen33]

Randomized religions (except the pope of course).

[@ivanthehighman177]

Ai campaign, everyone is at war turn one.

[@timbow1833]

Melkor does it again

[@oleksn94]

Stainless Steel 6.4 (vanilla SS, not HIP) AI only campaign with Gratzul (agressive) AI. we need undying classic mod

[@АнтонБатон-д8к]

AI only campaign but with huge unrest in settlements modded.

[@hackbounties114]

Keep the Mongols/Timurids mechanic but merge them into a single faction (such that they don't destroy each other).

[@MelkorGG]

I like it!

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

Let’s go! Deus ffcyn vult, mother lovers!

[@phillyphil1690]

I wonder if there's a mod so you can see the troop makeup during these AI campaigns.

[@manooxi327]

both russia and spain in the last game snaking their way to the neatherland! XD

[@sfreakc]

For next game with the wheel, you could activate the wheel everytime a capital falls to another power. See it as a last revenge. Obviously the faction that lost their capital shouldnt count on the wheel.

[@MelkorGG]

I really like this idea, thanks!

[@sfreakc]

@@MelkorGG no problem, forgot to mention: only original capitals ofcourse :) not new capitals. Else it will happen alot hahah

[@shoenewt]

Snickers.

[@daxtorsstuff7678]

If you gave scotland shit loads of money every turn would they finally do something? If they did, would be interesting to see what they do

[@paxluporum4447]

Comment for the comment gods.

[@LordThomasPassion]

Great game by Russia there. I just wish Germany and Scotland would actually win something eventually.

[@manuelfuica-martineau4940]

How do you mod? And what mods were used?

[@YogoYoshi2936]

I have a few questions, How much does Medieval 2 cost? Is it suitable to use on a laptop? What is the best faction out of the first 5 factions?

[@MelkorGG]

About £20 on Steam (Can get it on sale for around £5). Depends on the laptop. I advise England for new players.

[@sennfheld]

Hello, 25 Euros on steam; should run on everything if not windwos11; england is noobsafe since you are starting on the island

[@barfcaveman91]

If the laptop is less than 5 years old it should be fine. If it has dedicated graphics card even better

Continue this campaign instead, until one faction conquers everything except americas

[@MelkorGG]

Sadly I cannot justify putting another 4 hours of recording and then 3 hours of editing on that - when we pretty much know the result.
