Wings of Eden #1 | The Flight of Artaxias | TW Attila Ancient Empires Armenia NLP

[@rothern3761]

Welp, this isn't gonna show up in Turkey

[@ogulcankrmzaltn4531]

No we just need more man for job of "cleaning"

[@ogulcankrmzaltn4531]

@Mirogod Well Greater Armenia is greater they disappear

[@napoleon3812]

but it did it realy did

[@daevious_]

It took me a minute to realise what you meant, and it saddens me.

[@lordoftuft1411]

He's probably referring to the Armenian Genocide and how Turkey is continually denying they ever did that despite overwhelming evidence and eye witnesses...

[@MasterOfCydonia]

You have no idea how long I have been waiting for a new Total War campaign story. Thank you.

[@sankhyohalder97]

I fell in love with your channel through Attila NLPs Devin, starting with Massalia Tales. Nothing but TIC of Sakura Wars makes me as happy as seeing the start of a new series

[@cairocopper3238]

----- 202 BC ----- My first test has arrived in the form of Medians. My king has declared that Armenia, our land, shall not bend to the whims of the Greeks, he speaks of wrong doings that have been committed against our people, and encourages pride in our ancestors...... Truth be told, I have never took pride in any of my family, none but myself. My ancestors were nothing but poor farmers, my father nothing more than a conscripted soldier. The only reason I find myself in this unit of Cavalry is because of my own talent, my own hard work. What do I have to gain by being thankful to my ancestors? Whilst our people were taking pride in their heritage, the Medians barely stopped to look for a second before they moved on us. Now the day of battle is upon us. I fear little for my life, my armor is strong, my horse capable, and my drilling firm, but this is my first test. I can train for a life time, but unless I can truly meet a foe in battle, my training means little to nothing. This will be my test. I will not be disgraced this day! ----- Battle against the Medians ----- Mere slingers. We were halted by mere slingers. What great calamity is this? These soldiers should've broken before our charge, and yet we found ourselves locked in combat. I have been told the skirmishers saw the worst of the fighting. Perhaps I should be thankful to the gods who have spared me today, but I can only think of how much more I could've done in battle. These thoughts are unhelpful. It is best to ignore them. We then pursued them into the wilderness and cut them down after the battle. I hear of the great feats of strength the king managed, and I cannot help but feel inspired to match it.(edited) ------ 201 BC The Siege of Payttakaran ------ My role in this siege was minimal. I spent the entire siege sitting out side the walls staring back at the defenders on the walls. We heard the sounds of battle happening on the inside, but the defenders dared not take their eyes off of us. Eventually, the center of the fortress fell, and the defenders soon realized that simply staring at us would mean their own defeat, and surrendered. Our infantry were massacred. I almost wish I had been there with them, I might've performed better with the other cataphracts, but then I remember how fickle the will of the gods can be, and perhaps being absent from that part of the battle might have indeed saved my life. ----- 200 BC the siege of Ganzaga ---- A disaster. I can hardly recall the battle, only that many of my brothers were massacred beneath the walls of that cursed city. The horse archers lost entire regiments of soldiers, and I lost brace of many brothers in arms in this battle. In the end, we did not even stay for long, we merely subjugated them. What's worse, there are rumors that the Seleucids will come to recapture Armenia. I was once eager for battle, but I wouldn't want to fight a Seleucid. ----- 199 BC the Campaign to Caucasia ----- We move toward Colchis, specifically Korais. We will be attacking the the city, my best guess is to gain allies out of the Iberians. I can hope, but I find myself being cautious now. I am a loyal soldier of the king, but I've seen how the favor of the gods can turn on you. Now I am married, and leave behind a wife. To tell the truth, I'd rather be at home with her, protecting that little place of paradise in Armenia, but I trust the king. I trust this will protect us. I must push all these doubts from my mind, and hope we find success. I may sound pessimistic having seen the harrowing sights of war, but in truth, I find much to be optimistic about. Under our king, we have remained undefeated, and I have lived. Should things go to plan, I find little reason Caucasia's campaign should be any different. ----- Garen, Armenian Royal Cataphract -----

[@jessethedragonheart]

Amazing I love this

[@atreides213]

Cairo Copper Please keep this up!

[@who7657]

Would you be kind enough good sir to keep on making more PS please more more from the point of view of every type of soldiers

[@Perseuson]

Oh my God... I’M SO EXCITED!!

[@exost33l81]

I wish i found this channel years ago! holy shit the content is 10/10!

[@wales2815]

I just finished watching Fields of Mars and now look at this! More Attila for me to watch! Perfect!

[@cohortConnor]

The dialogue between Artaxias and Shahrbaraz was amazing. I'm looking forward to this.

[@mahu1877]

Impressive as always, especially historical info at the beginning. Also, the challenge run may be interesting from narrative perspective, since it opens a lot of possibilities for diplomacy

[@Pierre-gk5ky]

FUCK YEAH, another TW NLP from Devin I'M SO HYPED!! I love the idea of this challenge run btw, I've actually been playing total war that way a lot lately, focusing on diplomacy and a small group of core regions and I've found it a lot more fun than my usual "Conquer Everything" campaigns. I look forward to seeing how it goes for you.

[@santtuahola325]

Yes! Awesome man 😃 Your narrative gameplays are awesome and i like rewatching them!

[@HeroDut1998]

I liked the Arminianens when i did a let's on them on my channel you have always don a great job whit your narratives. Also i do real enjoy de mod ancient empires.

[@adamm2091]

YES!!! I was just thinking about you Devin. Glad to see you back in the NLP zone!

[@igncom1]

That Total Annihilation music rings all the right bells in my ears! Unexpected!

[@Zoey--]

10/10 intro loving it. I've been binge watching your old content and I -love- your voice acting! Keep up the good work :D

[@gre3nishsinx0Rgold4]

Yes! Now my mornings will get a lot better now that there's something to look forward to.

[@drewbryk]

Very short intro -- a gift to future bingers!

[@charleshenri4871]

I really like the idea of playing a small kingdom limited to it's geographic/cultural area and play around with client states rather than the ever sprawling empire. Very excited !

[@guestguest4881]

Praise be to Jupiter! Armenia, a nation that is all together unique! This'll prove interesting. Just curious, when will the Mount and Blade NLP be out? I sort of remember something about it, unless I'm thinking of Nariko's Treasure

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Very, very soon :D

[@jamestang1227]

Who is this "Jupiter"? Another god of a conqueror I assume, we know your type.

[@hinin3024]

Very nice to see you doing more narrative campaigns. Thank you for your hard work ! :) As a sidenote, I think there are errors in your "music featured" list : some of the musics you used can be heard in Might and Magic Heroes V and MaM Heroes VI, for example the Stronghold theme from MaM Heroes VI. Also some tracks you used are from Endless Legend (most notably the Drakken theme at the end of the video, if I'm not mistaken).

[@OfficiallyDevin]

You're probably right, got all my music in a load of weirdly organised folders so I forget where it's all from, have updated the list, thanks!

[@lukeb1663]

I forgot about the tower thing in atilla Yup it's stupid

[@TheGhostbuster1989]

Is there a mod that removes that?

[@c-money9623]

I can't believe another NLP is finally here!!!!

[@tomaszprzyby784]

I absolutely love the story and editing ;p

[@jcsuh001]

Just wanted to mention these kind of videos have inspired a new play through for me on shogun 2 Funnily the idea itself originated from the thought of "can you disband a daimyo" (you can't but you CAN send them into hopeless situations) I haven't decided which clan exactly yet but it'll use one of the clans that starts with a general that's not a family member Essentially that general would be the "protagonist" who's served as his daimyo's closest and most trusted officer for years. The daimyo (in-story) is getting sick and knows the general is a better leader than the proper heir. So adopts them and makes them heir before going off to seek an honorable death in battle before they can die a slow and obscure death from sickness. From their the general mourns his friend then moves on to upholding his legacy I've got 2 ideas on the clan for this so far A different approach to the otomo than the one you took. Essentially the daimyo brought great power to his clan for it to gain great glory and power but knows through it that he has brought great dishonor to his family. So in this case that's why he appoints another family to take over. The general would as such do his best to be honorable in all ways but for one. He would refuse to give up the western practices his lord brought into the clan as that was amongst his last official orders For shimazu (I'll have to check if the 2nd general even works here. I haven't played in a while) the daimyo will always have dreamed of his family taking back the position their family once held, I believe it was either emperor or shogun. Either way in this one the general would essentially be paving the way for the young shimazu son to claim that position Just an idea I had, and of course if someone who's actually good enough at this stuff to post it on KZbin wants to do it then go ahead. I won't be posting it myself. I am not tech savvy at all tbh. It'll just be something to keep me interested in my own play through

[@TheAleatoriorandom]

Man, this is going to be good!

[@DarkKing009]

a new OfficiallyDevin NLP, oh hell yeah!!!

[@LyricalDJ]

I am so going to enjoy this. I can tell.

[@Grabacr-pl3wy]

Started this off like National Geographic , 10/10

[@honestdix9447]

Devin,That is great epic theme song in this NLP series[' intro.What is name of song in 4:56 ?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

No idea what it's called, but it's from somewhere in the soundtrack to Endless Legend I think.

[@honestdix9447]

Thanks,it's okay.Once you say that,I will found it myself.

[@AaronM909]

Is there any chance that the funny Aussie guy will return the one from the NP game it was so funny I loved every minute of it

[@ArtanisOwns]

is that the endless legend music? sounds good

This is an amazing intro!

Ahhh an new adventure begins!

[@rasmusborreskov1533]

FINALLY IT`S HERE!!!!

[@SnorlaxFriend]

I think the challenge is a bit off putting. Considering Armenia was subjugated multiple times in their history, i was thinking that this NLP would be the creation of the Armenian Empire, but this looks like it'l be fun.

[@romulusliviussuperbia1080]

Please consider playing Sparta for a nlp thanks

[@mamadaliba2386]

TWA NLP, yes pls, MOAR!!!

[@walkersmedlund6669]

[@variedgamer9498]

Make sure to switch the battle difficulty to "normal"

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

I dunno if all that talking-up of the "New Empire" that is Rome is such a great idea... remember what happened to them in Massalia Tales haha

[@gordonbelowfranklin1607]

4:56 Devin confirmed for scaly

[@weeSpig]

best yet devin

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Excellent

[@jamestang1227]

Why are you playing ancient empire instead of rome 2, how is the mod better?

[@elyctroxpersonal]

James Tang the Attila engine is better and there are way more features. (Though I would also prefer Rome 2 personally, though the game is Devins choice)

[@jamestang1227]

OK

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Well the only reason is that this mod won the vote for an NLP, and DeI did poorly in recent votes. Personally I would have preferred DeI since this challenge run would actually be easier! But it's also true that this mod does have more potential than DeI since it can use attila's handful of extra features, and the graphics are slightly better.

[@walnzell9328]

Wow. I never knew that taking towers was so broken in this game.

[@TheManofthecross]

so is this straight up vanilla or is this modded?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Ancient Empires mod!

[@TheManofthecross]

ah does it have the improved AI as a feature in it other wise after you get to the mid or late game then it will become a cake walk.

[@vJaukbby]

Fantastic!

[@vahannalbandian8338]

AS AN ARMENIAN THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME

[@who7657]

question is will the Armenians adopt Christianity as fast as in our timeline ?

[@prestongarvey7745]

Coolio my dude

[@SatCollinz]

fuck. here goes another year and a half of my life. in reality I look forward to devin's nlp's. they are truly marvelous. but why in the hell didn't you just start over when 20 mins in you realized setting the difficulty level incorrectly screws up the game play? aaaarrrrgh

[@OfficiallyDevin]

You can change battle difficult mid-campaign, the campaign difficulty level doesn't matter much, just makes the AI aggressive and stops them getting rebellions, which I quite like.

[@SatCollinz]

no no no. during the 1st battle you said something along the lines of setting the dif levl on hard- or very hard, I don't remember which now- affected the game play for the ancient empires mod. but whatever. I've been looking forward to you doing this mod since youtube vids on the mod development 2 yrs ago. rock on!

Protip:stay the fuck away from massalia. *stay far, far away from masallia*

[@John_does]

Woo-hoo,

[@5000dragonkill]

I'm not sure if this is possible but wouldn't it be awesome to have another player who can try to represent other factions tactics and commander traits in battles to make at least the big battles more interesting to play and to watch? So basically to make a head to head campaign where your opponent role-plays a lot of if not all enemy factions.

[@daevious_]

He's mentioned in the past that he'd like to do a Co-Op narrative let's play (and that Massalia Tales was originally supposed to be this Co-Op NLP), but organising a time for two people to record together is prohibitively difficult, especially when it comes to releasing episodes in an orderly fashion.

[@5000dragonkill]

@@daevious_ that would be cool as well but I don't think you would have those problems with the idea I just wrote since you're not really limited by the other person since that person doesn't have to record or edit or anything like that, that person only has to play like once or twice a week on a pre-arranged time and role-play the AI (or his own) armies in a semi-historical fashion to make it more fun and interesting to watch... Anything more than that (for example if said person could do some voice acting or recording to get another perspective or whatever) would just be a bonus. I'm sure there are people willing to play this role, I would at least.

[@someguy9293]

Good videos, even when the World is currently on fire.
