[@arikthewarlord2498]

When god made Devin he knew that sending him to earth would be the greatest gift to humanity. So it had to be the right time, im honored to be living in this extraordinary times. I get to witness the magnificent, the great ,the master, the all mighty OfficiallyDevin in all his glory! Devin is life, Devin is light, Devin is everything!

[@jottXD]

Amen :D

[@arikthewarlord2498]

yeah!!! Devin is God!

[@nikolajsteffensen6578]

holy shite... YOU KILLED THE EMPEROR?! *and panic ensues*

[@micah9639]

+Nikolaj Steffensen Well historically the Goths did the same thing at the Battle of Adrianople so I do like the cross between the real and fictional histories

[@nikolajsteffensen6578]

***** whoa. didn't know that.

[@Pantsinabucket]

Micah Gestrich Atilla begins about 20 years after Adrianople though. The WRE/ERE Emperors at the start are the brothers who inherited their halves of the empire from Valens' successor Theodosius, Honorius (WRE) and Arcadius (ERE, the dead one)

[@vegapunk100]

this is the one attila campaign that i will enjoy watching , very very well made, more people should know about this narrative camapign devin is doing !

[@josephmarr4711]

At this point I think his javelins have killed as many of his troop as the Romans.

[@ryanlorenzo5003]

We haven't even gone past the first episode and the Emperor is already dead. We're off to a great start guys!

[@kolangiet1]

I like the way Delvin is doing it better than any let' s play.

[@Shizy666]

Wow, great serial! I'm sure about that you work a lot on this. Keep up the good work!

[@OfficiallyDevin]

SHiZY Many thanks :D

[@solinvictus4367]

18:30 buddy you should have done your research, that is a classic Roman formation and it worked to great affect here

[@TheLingWhisperer]

Devon, your narrative Let's Plays are absolutely awesome and I'm super glad you've decided to start one for Attila. The effort you put into them really shows, and I look forward to seeing more of your work. I don't know why these series have so few views, because they deserve a lot more. Every time I log into KZbin I check to see if you've uploaded another one of these.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

TheLingWhisperer Thank you very much for the kind words and your support. And it may be helpful to know that I upload this series every Saturday morning GMT, so the weekend is the best time to look for it!

[@gre3nishsinx0Rgold4]

This was just amazing and I always look forward to this every time also I love the dismemberment of Attila... a spear beheading a roman, and I'm not gunna whine about this series because it takes a while to make such a great, amazing series. Great job Devin :D

[@fightinghare5297]

I absolutely love all of your stuff man, it is so good, i just found your channel recently, but dang man such great content i love it

[@AmbiguousDitto]

Excellent work! Cannot wait for the next episode.

[@bluesteakmanflesh131]

dude great intro the this ep! You put some much work into ur lets plays :)

[@MattDub93]

love it devin

[@Aether911]

Well, it looks like the Romans were tired of looking like some pushover in the first episode :P

[@Aether911]

Still, Devin took quite a beating and I don't think he is going to be a threat for the roman in the near future, so they at least managed to gain a bit of time, which is better than what they did up to this point :P

[@jamiedytham5276]

true, but it's still a bit embarrassing for the romans.

[@icarus8359]

Quality stuff as usual.

[@Toratchi888]

14:40 You most likely weren't replenishing because it was Winter, especially if it was a Bad Winter.

[@thediggy]

Another great video. Thanks again for the advice you gave me. My first episode is pretty much done and all I have to do now is edit and upload. Let the NLP revolution begin.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

THEDiggy No problem good sir, I look forward to seeing it!

[@thediggy]

Thanks again. I'm actually having some editing problems now, but I hope to fix them soon and put it out by the end of the day :)

[@Monkey_SK]

Just here for a re-watch of this classic, after watching offiyD's WH3 play through video.

[@PCgoandPlay]

you are amazing Devin. Good way to play the TW titles!

[@morecambesceo2402]

I watch again 2 times. 8:18 nice voice dude :D

[@miroslavyordanov9611]

i cant until next episode pls be fast these series are such a great

[@LordRexasaur]

Wow, You can really see just how hard Attila is from these episodes, stack after stack of troops. Can't wait for next saturday :D

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Lord Rexasaur Survival horror strategy at its finest!

[@DarkMessiah33]

All the blood on the ground is quite impressive; I haven't used the blood mod yet myself but it looks really nice :).

[@adammanalo931]

Hey Devin, Your units seems to only have 80 soldiers, why not use max setting on the unit sizes?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Adam Manalo It is an attempt to avoid the lag that I was getting in Massalia Tales, soon to be otherwise remedied with a new PC!

[@xxPsYcHoDuCkx]

Hey Devin, long time fan. I don't know if you had heard, the "Ancient Empires" mod for Attila is supposed to release on the 30th of September. I was wondering, are you going to be doing a series with it? Thank you for your time, and great content.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Not straight away, might do a little something just casually, but I probably will do a big proper series with it eventually, so much potential there!

[@minxdevine4500]

Another enthralling episode. Shame about the home casualties.

[@j_nord]

21:45 Lol, that guy just decapitated a Legionary by stabbing him with a spear

[@BrorealeK]

Wow! Fighting Stilicho himself! It's always great to see historical characters in fiction, I loved his cameo in Eagle on the Snow. Also, since I can't check sent messages, did I send you one yesterday? I suppose I'll know soon enough but not having an outbox makes me second guess myself. Either way, I love your narrative LPs and I'd love to both contribute and apply some of your ideas to a series I'm cooking up!

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Broreale Got the message, will reply momentarily!

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

woooo! another episode!

[@TheDelta07sev]

is that a triplex axis?

[@dutchministryofdefence604]

so wat happens wen we loose this battle end of series?

[@LadCarmichael]

Really like where this campaign is going, it would make me want to buy Attila if my laptop wasn't so crappy^^

[@Drakid13Re3kt]

doox you beyond awesome

[@collinhelm8209]

Just found your channel all I have to say is praise saint devian

[@Terhilious]

And so Ostrogoth and Roman tear at each other's throats, covering the West with blood. Meanwhile, in the East, the horde draws closer, thirsty for this crimson juice... Also, go Saphrax!

[@TheSoulbraker1]

I must say, i have lost all intrest in both rome 2 and attila. But your campaign is so intresting i can't miss an episode

[@kman8684]

First and yea this series is amazing

[@rogerpaesani5074]

Goddamit, now I have to wait one week to see how devin wins the battle.

[@Allsmiles98311]

(Wow... so much desperation... makes for good bloody battle. I winced when your javelins killed your own people...)

[@skyhr]

Can you turn off friendly fire javelin? Or does the AI frequently make this mistake? I thought the AI automatically knows when to hold fire and when to actually fire?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

+skyhr Not in Atilla, they did in Rome 2, managed to lose that ability that some point! So in Attila it is best to not fire at all unless you are in the front rows.

[@raymondbenjamins5884]

+OfficiallyDevin Yeah, that's kind of annoying in my opinion, since it makes skirmishers useless in open battles, except if you can flank the enemy. But even if you can flank them, you usually also have some cav to strike them in the back, which could end the battle faster.

[@pauciloquentflibbertigibbe5217]

Why don't you just sack every settlement, and then make a vassel of the former owners every time? Is that a bad idea for reasons I don't know.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

River TWG No problem doing that. Only issue is you can't then sack or raze the settlement again if you want, and the ally gets a destroyed settlement so will be weak.

[@pauciloquentflibbertigibbe5217]

Thank you for replying! I just wasn't sure why it would be a bad idea.

[@inquisitor119]

This is a great series but i played the eastern roman empire and i saw how flavius arcadius became a great emperor so it pains me to see how you slaughter romans i will pass on this series even thougt its great and there is an awesome idea behind it . Sorry for my bad english greetings from germany

[@kman8684]

Officiallydevin what is your favourite total war game

[@BigMackWitSauce]

I haven't played Attila, is there any disadvantage to taking on warriors?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

BigMackWitSauce Not as far as I know, it's really the 'default' option.

[@TheMustacheWarriors]

Wow this is great xD

[@nathanconnor2617]

9:48 gothic war band why you so dirty!

[@arstotzkanofficer4956]

[@theancientone3318]

Move West,reconcile with Saphrax ,need both stacks working together, i look forward to the next episode /Gothica Victrix

[@SKDurgesh]

hi OfficiallyDevin Why don't you fight the war manually. please show us your fighting tricks and tips. as i am learning this total war. Please come up with manual fight.

[@callummegginson554]

+Durgesh Singh When he doesn't fight, it's because there's only a couple of enemy units or the autoresolve is heavily in his favour. Wouldn't be that interesting anyways.
