This is going to be absolutely legendary!

[@Terhilious]

He is not the Messiah, he is a very naughty boy! Absolutely love it, amazing job :D

[@LizardWizardoAo]

Always look on the bright side of death.

[@sunjetzu]

Been waiting for this for a while. Thanks for the upload old friend ;D

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Sun Jetzu My pleasure, very glad to have you watching.

[@Warrior_of_Sparta]

Really really well done!

[@gladiatorgamer1306]

Of course Devin, as I have said before, your effort and quality is clearly displayed in the work you publish on KZbin. Congrats for another *narrative Let's Play*. I honestly dont know any other TW KZbinr that does these narratives. I planned to put some sort of narrative at the end of each of my episodes. Perhaps when I've released a few episodes Ill show you. :) Keep up the awesome NLPs :)

[@OfficiallyDevin]

GladiatorGamer I wish other people would do it, I'd love to see it, so yeah totally go ahead!

[@gladiatorgamer1306]

just don't patent it :P

[@bulzome664]

OfficiallyDevin

[@UltimaSigmarAlonso]

Hearthguard is doing these check him out

[@arkanoid25]

Keep up the great work man! Your channel deserves a lot more love - as an ancient history nerd and gamer it's the perfect match

[@SimpzyTotalWar]

Great job man! :)

[@adammanalo931]

In the face of Armageddon two paths have been chosen to seek salvation. You've done it again and made another awesome new LP.

[@austinkreulach9295]

Love the reference to the Arian heresy at 23:20. It's good to know you did your research, or are just well-read.

[@SuperPipe28]

Rewatching, again, cuz I love this series

[@kingsalver]

Watching this is like nostalgia now man I wish we have more new content like this

[@Demitri243]

Holy crap man. I love these narrated ones. They add a realm of depth to the game.

[@jimcastor8601]

just started today, just found this, how I missed it I don't know, going to watch all of them and caught up, love your videos.

[@Torag55]

I've been watching this for a while, the series I mean, and it somewhat inspires me to make a narrative series of my own for the Alans. Thanks for making this, it kept me interested in it :3

[@Aether911]

Wow, I wonder how much time you worked on that intro. Also, I don't know if you didn't notice or just didn't mention it, but you actually killed the eastern roman emperor on turn 2 during the siege of Serdica. Anyway, looking forward to more episodes of this :D

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Aether911 Ha, I didn't notice at all, just blasted through that settlement but you're right! Well, let's just say the Ostrogoths didn't actually know who the Emperor was, so they thought it was just another spoiled Roman noble and killed him like any other :P

[@Blitzman1999]

OfficiallyDevin that's probably why their trying to hunt you down with all their armies

[@skyisclear8461]

Great concept, beautifully done as ever. It's very exciting to be at the beginning of a new narrative LP!

[@DarKnightStudios101]

I'm guessing these have been up for awhile, but I've just recently discovered them. Looks like hours and hours of my free time just got devoured in such a good way. I loved (and am still watching) your Shogun 2, Eternal Law, Let's Play and I must say: I am your new biggest fan lol.

[@wariscoming.]

i am so happy you made a Attila Narrative Let's Play been waiting for you to make one from day one of Attila you are by far the best Narrative Let's Play you tuber out there keep up the good work man

[@TheSkinnyman28]

The quality of these are AMAZING! Keep up the good work and can't wait to see the next one! :)

[@NuEM78]

I really love your Narrative Let's Plays. They supplement the Total War games perfectly and give meaning to an otherwise abstract game world.

[@thediggy]

Awesome job with this opener Devin. You have once again produced something captivating.

[@Cristian-oy8of]

This is incredible, I´ve just discovered and I haven´t seen nothing like this before and it´s amazing. This way of playing a campaing it´s awesome, for real :)

[@minxdevine4500]

Spine chilling intro. Awesome stuff, just a taste of what's to come I'm sure. Hang on to your saddles, this series gonna be one hell of a ride!

[@TheFunkSyndicate]

Best TW let's plays out there! You really put effort into these videos and it shows in quality. I watched Teppou Republic, currently half-way through Massalia Tales and I will be following this series with at least as much enthusiasm!

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Bw .b Many thanks, I hope you continue to enjoy them!

[@OldieBones]

You sir are a master story teller!

[@oso2400]

Great beginning, can't wait for more!

[@Banter-vw7ck]

Excellent job, this series has great potential and If your previous works are anything to go off of you won't disappoint, keep it up :)

[@toastboy1asdf1awsome]

This is amazing, i'm glad my brother recommended you. such a pleasure to watch after a hard day's work

[@babysephiroth9836]

Awesome, awesome, awesome series. I need to find a thesaurus and find some more words for awesome, because this series deserves each and every one of them. Very well done, great story-telling, interesting characters, and a bold direction featuring voice acting and the like. A must see. Thank you OfficiallyDevin for rekindling my intense love of all things TW.

[@gre3nishsinx0Rgold4]

Yes a new Narrative lets play.. this was awesome, something to look forward too :D.. great job Devin and I can't wait for the next one.

[@dehairs]

That intro was amazing! Great work as always Devin! Very hyped to see more :D

[@lukezuzga6460]

This popped up on my feed and I remember it being effen awesome, it was one of the reasons I started playing TW Attila. Thx Dev

[@TheMissing8]

Great work Devin. Let the raiding commence.

[@666nihil]

Great work, Devin, thank you for doing these!

[@CERBERUSCLH]

18:57 Vithericus speaks to his scribe bottom right lol XD

[@Allsmiles98311]

(Ahhh... a good start. This looks like it will be a fascinating series to watch... I look forward to seeing how this goes... and how you work the 'Second Coming' lore into the functionality of the game.)

[@T7_H3rbz]

Checked out your channel for the first time & was most pleased. I like the narrative style. I would love to see you throw some of that in the Ebdanian hotseat campaign

[@Lorddavian0]

This is such a good LP. Definitely gonna keep watching!

[@kaylsbro]

U alway do the best series cause of the stories u make I'm really surprised u haven't got more subs

[@hasearo7405]

That was so good Devin! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@clund1918]

i wasn't sure if this would be something i'd like. after watching this i'm hooked. hope it keeps going strong.

[@adeptus2714]

This is a great start to the new series, but I'm bummed out that I have to wait a week for the next episode.

[@afrikanuslegatus2074]

Hi Devin I've been waiting with such anticipation for this play through, in my opinion you're narrative LP's have revolutionised RTS LP's they're very engrossing keep up the good work. Yours faithfully Kaeyce (pronounced 'Casey' I have creative parents' :') )

[@OfficiallyDevin]

KiDSavaGe DougieSoFly Thanks a lot man, you are too kind, thanks for watching!

[@tullussulla6167]

I was watching Massalia Game play, I reach to ep 24 and you sir just got a new Subscriber. keep the Narration coming.👍👍

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

Yes! a narrative LP! I'm so excited!

[@aztecgoldmontizuma]

For this video you are now my hero! ,how have I not heard of you before?, I've always played total war games the same story driven mindset myself, In Attila total war The Venedians were spoken to by their Sky God Ukko, to return to the North of the steppes to the realm of forest and snow and build anew, And the Hammers of Ukko would crush the nomads that make their way to the world's end!.

[@blackcoat7175]

This is why I love ur vids

[@WarriorAngelLetsPlays]

Hi there, been working my way through Massalia Tales and wanted to say great work! I've been doing an Ostrogoths campaign myself on my channel, so looking forward to seeing what King Vithericus does for his people in this series :-)

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Warrior Angel Let's Plays Something quite different I imagine :D

[@SoggyFaris]

Outstanding video. I'm excited to see the next episode!

[@firstname7792]

Best narrative LP ever

[@Wansawer]

Finally, new serie. Keep it up Devin. :)

[@heshamali1714]

i hope you have more total war attila . factions lets play . i love your work and an awesome subscribe :D

[@jared7708]

OfficiallyDevin Great start to what looks to be an awesome series.

[@baskerville4041]

Your storytelling gets better with every LP. You're gonna have to consider a showrunner's career soon enough :P

[@mariodenanda2926]

cant wait for the next episode :D

[@icarus8359]

total warcast crew put me on to u, so thanks lionheart, warrior & rambler. this is a league apart from other lets plays. Must take a lot of work to make these but they are very impressive, will check out Massilia tales also, so please keep up the good work.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Glenn Gilbert-Davies Thanks for stopping by, very glad you are liking it, plenty more to come!

[@phycosam2869]

A new Lp to start my birthday with thanks Devin looking forward to this one

[@OfficiallyDevin]

TheGrudgeBearer Woop happy birthday man! Hope you enjoyed the episode!

[@phycosam2869]

OfficiallyDevin Thanks man looking forward to your lp's

[@TheLolistan]

exactly what i wanted for attila narrative

[@wolftotalwar]

I really, REALLY wish you did an XCOM LP though. Objectively speaking, XCOM is more engaging to watch, because the chance of one of your beloved soldiers dying is high and the missions are high-intensity, with no campaign-map downtime in between (well some, but not as much as Attila)

[@OfficiallyDevin]

WolfofRemusTW I think I agree, I really like the idea of XCOM, and Mount and Blade too, but the people have spoken! I think I will do a couple of series' without votes where I just do what I think will be cool, and XCOM will certainly be one of them.

[@wolftotalwar]

OfficiallyDevin yea you should do that. best part about xcom is you can just make like a 20-30 min short just on one mission, and make little backgrounds on the soldiers behind it, and finish it off once the mission ends.

[@Killerthekidjoe]

Dev you Legend I love it keep up the great work m8 looking forword to more

[@blackcoat7175]

I CANT WAIT TILL THE NEXT EPISODE OOOOHH SOOOO GOOD GOTTA LOVE IT!!

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Amanche Gaming 36 hours to go!

[@shane9473]

Don’t care how old this is, I love it.

[@hitkidworldwide1599]

Man already liking the look of this shall be fun now got to think of a new character name to get into it cant wait for the next 1

[@AlmightyFreshness]

9:40 "There's pretty much no one inside" >Eastern Roman Emperor Flavius Arcadius is part of the garrison Yep, pretty much a nobody!

[@dubuyajay9964]

He's not wrong. He was a pretty pathetic leader.

[@parjusable]

It's like watching a movie! Awesome job.

[@alamos52]

this is everything I want in a grand strategy let's play. and I've never seen anyone do this, let alone do it so well.

[@nikifora.738]

best let's plays ever! I You should consider directing or at least writing a book, because your creative talent is more than obvious!

[@mivapusa]

I'm thinking this guy Saphrax, might have had a point

[@palien431]

the goosebumps are real! So good!

[@chriswilliamson4055]

another master piece mate cant wait for next week haha

[@riccardopreve6505]

i do not know what to say this is simply amazing?!?!?!??!?!??!?!

[@pabloaguilar7712]

Great video devin. I like your idea of sack the settlements to have more money. The ostrogoth son will defeat the romans.

[@paxtofettel]

And so begins another adventure.

[@rogerpaesani5074]

Oh boy, this is gonna be good.

[@juhaunhola5405]

A great start for a certainly great LP! But you made a bit of a typo in the beginning - the listed year at 395 BC instead of AD :)

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Juha Unhola Yeah, quite the mistake, wish I'd paid more attention!!

[@rickveenbergen9021]

IM LOVING THIS

[@arikthewarlord2498]

Yes is finally here!!! I want to cry :,( in a good way.

[@LizardWizardoAo]

Im wondering if you realised you killed the emperor of the eastern roman empire so soon in greece.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Lizard Wizard I didn't at the time, but I do now! Will be ret-conning that in via the next episode.

[@LizardWizardoAo]

yeah I was wondering why there was no mention of you killing the emperor

[@natedlc854]

AAHHHHH ANOTHER ONE OHMYGOD IM SO EXCITED

[@hachmanno]

Oh Baby! I'm hyped!

[@esterzine6561]

What was that song that you used for the Roman General's monologue. It sounds like the intro for Frank's redemption.

[@MegaTranquilla]

Shouldnt it be AD instead of BC ?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

EiksonfromdaWehna 100% right, that was stupid of me!

[@wrigglenight93]

threw me off as I don't know this period of history that well

[@nexusofboredom]

Why not raze the settlements if u don't want to keep them ?

[@nexusofboredom]

Or liberate them.. Leaving behind a whole series of small nations lol

[@OfficiallyDevin]

+Sumudu Maligaspe That's pretty much what I end up doing!

[@SKDurgesh]

+OfficiallyDevin Why you stopped making videos on ostrogoths, Man I like it please make more videos on it. Please

[@Kilithaza]

+Durgesh Singh watch the update video.

[@comad9289]

I love this good job!!!!

[@wolftotalwar]

I think ending a turn at sea could be realistic provided you 'foraged' for supplies by either raiding coastal villages (ending the previous turn on raiding stance) or razed a city and looted all the supplies before taking to sea. just something to think about. also, how incredibly awesome would a sassanid LP be that's related to this somehow? like another narrative LP that has this same story as a backdrop but also has its own little objective..could make for an epic time for all if this happens, imo.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

WolfofRemusTW Yeah I think I can agree there, although still not sure about the logistics of it all, would need thousands of pretty big ships to carry a whole kingdom's worth of people! But yeah, sticking the coast and doing lots of raiding would definitely make it more plausible. Don't have the time to do another series at the same time, but yeah would indeed be cool to have some tie-in stuff happening. Once I get fired from work I'll be all over that :D

[@CrimsonGuard1992]

"Cohorts a POWERFUL unit...." LOL XD

[@CrimsonGuard1992]

This could be its own tv series.

[@harrisonsquire1682]

So many goosebumps!!

[@louischo2701]

Nice! Excellent quality as always. Though why are the units medium-size?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Louis Cho Thought I'd reduce the unit size to reduce the lag I was getting while filming massalia tales. For the next series I think I'll just buy a new PC, a much more satisfying solution!

[@TheRomanPraetor]

i wasn't looking too forward to this, I voted for medieval 2, however after watching this I am excited to see where this goes!!! please upload more than once per week though, also why did you have the unit size set to small? only 80 unit regiments?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

TheRomanPraetor Can't upload any more, they take a very long time to edit! I think it is on medium, set to avoid the lag I was getting on Massalia Tales with the higher settings. Planning up upgrade my PC before the next series to get around this problem.

[@nikolajsteffensen6578]

i know it might not be as interesting but maybe. just maybe you could at some point do a narative campaign as one of the roman empires? try to prevent the fall of your empire.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Nikolaj Steffensen I was planning on giving a Roman one a go at some point, converting them to Greco-Roman paganism so they can go back to the old Empire!

[@nikolajsteffensen6578]

OfficiallyDevin i love the idea of doing that! you should do that! no matter if it's western or eastern roman empire it is an all around awesome idea in my book

[@Crimethoughtfull]

Yes, yes, much late to the game (literally and figuratively, I'm sure), but after Rome II, was a bit iffy about Attila...looking forward to being stoked about it via another OfficiallyDevin NLP. After Teppou Republic, and Massalia Tales, well, how can one resist? :-)

[@BronzeKurisu]

Great first episode

[@michaelrac9556]

I am a big fan. Good work as always. But what ever happened to frank? Kind of left hanging.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Michael Carway Thanks! Frank is in limbo due to time constraints, hoping to restore him to life one day.

[@jottXD]

Oh i'm so excited

[@LordRexasaur]

OMG SO HAPPY :D

[@walnzell9328]

The Uninformed: Italy was united for the first time since the Romans in 1861. The Ostrogoths: Every word you just said was wrong.

[@heshamali1714]

i love that shit you create :D good job
