The American Republic: Episode 1 | Empire: Total War Let's Play | RangerDave

[@lonosic5132]

The first EvilViking series I've watched. Brings back memories

[@mikeylind8107]

Same. I remember watching this with his Road to Independence series. Brings back so many memories.

[@sergiochavez9717]

Mikey Lind me too, I keep coming back to the series in particular crazy to think this is what got kid me into history and helped me find my passion in life.

[@colonelpanic17]

This series is what made me buy ETW. Now I realize how much I need DarthMod. I currently have ETW for Mac, and am saving for a proper Windows Gaming PC. So many memories watching this.

[@lykken5396]

close to 10 years later and im back to the series that got me into total war ( and pc games as a whole)

[@RangerDave]

Hopefully soon, editing it now! Episode 2 is going to be crazy long.

[@ninjastart4824]

In 2287 the U.S.S Constitution is stuck in a building

[@xptaco2298]

Then flies into another building

[@BigGucciCholo]

This series was why I bought a pc all those years ago. Looking forward to this rewatch **sips coffee**

[@sonnyraine3445]

15:15 noticed the mount and blade music, shit slaps

[@adambullock6999]

That moment when you realize this series has been going on for 2 years 0-0

[@ravenwing199]

Adam Bullock Yep.

[@krzysztofgronecki4673]

That moment when you realize this series has been going on for 4 years 0-0

[@trust.worthy]

Wow

[@jasonsaville2262]

Definitely a great pleasure to meet you, my friend. Empire Total War United States Campaign is definitely a great program. So think about the actual history of the War Of 1812.

[@plastic_god7294]

I’m always returning to this series. I’m wish Dave did another grand campaign for empire darthmod

[@rashardfromnewyork511]

Ahhh the memories. My third time watching this in over 4 years

[@RangerDave]

I'm going to try and get a least one episode out a week, but these usually run 30-50 minutes each so they take quite a while to record, edit, and render. :)

[@catclaws1847]

I can watch this lets play forever! I love this!

[@immashitposter8749]

My uncle actually built a statue for john berry in Annapolis maryland at the naval academy. He funded it because Barry was a Irish american immigrant that served our nation and so is my uncle.

[@grahambilling2135]

I'm loving your series. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to following this series to its completion.

[@RangerDave]

Thanks for the heads up! Pennsylvania is about to get educated, son.

[@eLLocoUno26]

Can't wait for future episodes in this series, keep doing what your doing Evil Viking!

[@BaggyMcPiper]

Is that Mount and Blade music I hear?

[@michaeltash514]

I believe it is 22:27

[@ethanwelk2736]

Inkshooter Nope appsoultly not.*sarcasm*

[@thekeystoneconservative]

Yes

[@thekeystoneconservative]

I noticed it to

[@RoboVenturer]

I always enjoy watching this series from time to time

[@grik74426]

Hey I just found your channel, just wanted you to know that your intros are probably the best on all of youtube

[@basilbats7891]

We don't want to jump into a second war with the British until say 1812 of so Wow very realistic dave

[@lukejohns5900]

Interesting thumbnail picture of the Battle Of Lake Erie. The painting of Robert Perry transferring from the St. Lawrence to the Niagara really depicts what this series is about. If you haven't found out already, I'm a big history buff! : )

[@ASeventhSign]

Yessir, it's 2023 and time to start my annual re-watch of my favorite Let's Play

[@GaiaLegend]

You know, that I've got like a tear in my eye when I finally saw the United Provinces roaming about?. Because this game, is probably the only historic game were the Provinces are in. They made history as well you know, like big time for some countries( Like Brittain and USA for sure).

[@TheBlackBrickStudios]

I feel really weird commenting on a video almost three years old, but whatever. I'm not sure if you know this information or not, but you seemed somewhat confused that the leader of the US was listed as Elias Boudinot rather than George Washington, but the common misconception is that George Washington was the "leader" of America, which just wasn't the case. The United States abhorred the idea of somebody having absolute power, so to avoid that, the Continental Congress was created as a collection of delegates from across the colonies to create and enforce laws, while the president was to act as somewhat of an intermediary to balance out the power given to congress, this relationship mirrored the Americans' idealized version of what the Crown and Parliament should behave as. And from the years of 1881-1883 Elias Boudinot was the President of the Continental Congress, the true ruling body of the young nation.

[@camillogiulietti2028]

TheBlackBrickStudios Interesting. Thanks for the history lesson.

[@IsaiahReitanFilm]

TheBlackBrickStudios well ya but the president has always been the figurehead of the US. Effectively Washington was the closest thing the US has to a leader when it was formed.

[@arbesterrebereb]

After 7 or so years, I finally able to watch it again

[@jakehamburdoodle3042]

I would have supported France and Spain to get Great Britian of the face of the game. That is just me. I love the way you play and I love this series. Keep up the great vids!

[@makato_yuki1523]

I just invaded Great Britain and made it part of my American Empire

[@ЯковН-ю9х]

Makato_Yuki1523 wow :)

[@beardednigga5124]

i loved how in the backround it played canon in d i cant wait to learn how to play that song

[@josephwilkinson1610]

Intriguing. Looking forward to watching the rest

[@RangerDave]

Yep, it's a really neat mixture of a turn based as well as a real-time RTS game.

[@nathanielwallace4736]

15:20 and shortly before, that's Mount And Blade Music.

[@loriskalich2228]

John sullivan was also a hitoric General. He served During the revolutionary war.

[@confusedtriangle2823]

At 26:50 MUSIC FROM MOUNT AND BLADE STARTED srry about the caps

[@leontrotsky9268]

When you hear him say “I think napoleon was in power” and you see it’s the 1780s REEEEEEEEEE

[@ericbiscuit2248]

84% gov popularity! Obama take notes

[@GSTHb]

game =/= reality

[@CreeperGangServer]

Eric Biscuit Trump. take notes.

[@starsaber2002]

X Bodhi good one

[@justliketree27]

X Bodhi Trump is making this country great better then bloody Obama!

[@jeremiahbrand5430]

Texas should be a faction in here since Mexico is. Would be pretty awesome to see the Texas Revolution.

[@ryanhunt2727]

Jeremiah Brand that was in like 1836.

[@jeremiahbrand5430]

Mexico was 1821

[@ryanhunt2727]

Jeremiah Brand Texas was independent from 1836 to 1846.

[@mohicanhawkeye5623]

Definitely subscribing! Loving your game play style! Did you add your own music to the videos? I don't remember Empire having Canon in their music list, nor what sounds like the music from Mount and Blade Warband either (right around minute 22). Great stuff whether you did or not! Looking forward to watching you play!

[@RangerDave]

+Mohican Hawkeye Welcome! Yes, the music was added later as unfortunately the Empire soundtrack gets copyright claimed.

[@mohicanhawkeye5623]

Love the soundtrack choices then! Absolutely wonderful!

[@ddragon8419]

mount and blade war band music!!

[@mermaidman7064]

[@ChristopherMocko]

[@jacobfleck3457]

[@mrgrom338]

Nostalgia

[@leontrotsky9268]

[@irongeneral7861]

What was that version of "Yankee Doodle" at the beginning? Been years and I can't find it.

[@Brylight]

No clue

[@matmartin2866]

I took my campaign into the year 1984 (Though the end of the Road to Independence) I took everything except the middle of Europe. MERIKA!

[@hawk7567]

Did anyone else recognize the mount and blade music in the background

[@atheosxgaming]

watching u play this game is easier than me buying it and playing myself. (I like this)

[@josephbridgeswriting4356]

he says he's gonna play it conservatively. 100 episodes from now, has already fucked up Austria and occupied most of Europe

[@vitalstrats5493]

JoeJoe Games damn spoilers, lol, I'm a little late to the party

[@Highdreams_CJ]

was that mount and blade music

[@PhoenixFirex20]

I heard it to. Great music from a great game.

[@starsaber2002]

PhoenixFirex20 ya you know what a great game is my favorite is mount and blade warband with the napoleonic wars dlc

[@nathanhorne4727]

Can you do the American monarchy campaign in empire total war.

[@starsaber2002]

I finally beat episode iii of road to independence

[@aa-tq7bv]

Can’t break the thought of mount and blade and TWN2 having same music

[@christianleske3739]

Ah the Minutemen in their early beginnings. Wonderful! By the way, a settlement needs help! I‘ll mark it on your map! 🇺🇸✌️🇩🇪

[@HazzaTheAlmighty]

Awesome. Have you ever played the Civilization games?

[@theroyalcourt8225]

Slightly sad that Hamilton wasn't the secretary of treasury

[@walnzell9328]

The Secretary of State is George Washington? Could that be George Washington Jr.? Was there a George Washington Jr.?

[@samocon8240]

Anyone can answer this, but exactly how long was the road to independence campaign?

[@antsholland757]

I can't remember it being THAT long. Quite fun little series tbh.

[@redrock6565]

not sure, im still playing chapter two because i didnt move fast enough and now i need a lot of garrison troops to suppress the new captured towns so i can keep tax high and pay for the armies lol.

[@antsholland757]

Hahaha the joys of rioting and revolution in the total war series. You'll just love Shogun II mate.

[@redrock6565]

oh i play it so much man. Everything was fine until Christianity hit the region. xD

[@liberphilosophus7481]

It's about 12 hours

[@WingsHype]

What a nice republic video

[@shannonpriest8943]

was that the barney theme song?

[@Spooky1stRB]

Now that my phone supports 1080p, time to re watch the whole series

[@tgs9034]

The music at the start of the video would make great line battle music use it in your battles

[@laurenmcbride1]

How fast will the uploads be 2 this . Will you involve us into some decisions that you may have 2 make, will you compleate the campaign even if you are losing. I hope so im asking because im new to your channels and I loved road to independents, I like your play style and would like 2 invest my time into this campaign so please do a full play though

[@5678sothourn]

[@thelastronin1425]

Viking it's not embarrassing that the Americans had a tiny navy they were more land dominant if anything and didn't have a port to build very many ships

[@5678sothourn]

You know, if you had taken this alliance now, then you probably wouldn't have that protracted war way later on.

[@AchillesSpear22]

i don't like darkmod but i do like the changes made by naval trade

[@laurenmcbride1]

Im loving this and the British 1 2

[@Trojanfan666]

[@lordoffrog2354]

I don't get it..I watched your other series about road to independence and the game time was 1800 when u captured 15 regions but now ur doing an American Republic game but the period is 1783!?

[@ItsMcLovinXd]

Because it is a different campaign, so it starts at a fixed location.

[@ncusaseventeen6743]

Total War games usually don't end in 7 years. The original American Revolution ended in 1783.

[@AkinaSpeedStar]

This game is coming to phones it’s 2024 bro I was 8 trying to figure this game out
