As a Hispanic American, I was waiting for you to make this video a long time ago and it was worth it for the jokes and the quality of the editing. You got the perfect game with Castile (Spain): expel the Moors, ignore the Portuguese, make life miserable for the French, bad relations with the English, take southern Italy from the Kingdom of Sicily and conquer the Aztecs; all with a lot of gunpowder, swords and pikes, in addition to religion. For me, the best moments, for being quite cinematic, were your confrontations with the Aztecs, with perfect pike formations and the arquebusiers firing mercilessly. XD

[@adampatterson2195]

I'm eager for "The Milan Experience." Because Milan is a very OP faction. Their town and city military units (with armor) are better than castle units, and crossbow militia is better than peasant crossbowmen. This means you can train your best armies from cities, and change all your castles to towns to make more money. It's ridiculously overpowered when you have siege equipment. I've conquered entire factions in just a handful of turns.

[@kolpere1625]

Fun fact: at the moment Tenochtitlan was besieged by the spaniards, the numbers were like this: *Mexica empire numbers in the city: -100-200k warriors -400 war canoes. Spanish coalition (yes, coalition) -800-1200 spanish infantrymen. -86 spanish horsemen. -200k indian auxiliars. -50k-80k tlaxcaltecs -40k texcocans Hence, the story about how 500* spanish dudes conquered a fully garrisoned city was a hoax. Now the summary of what the spanish witness after the battle: since all their allies were basically mega-pissed off vassals of the mexica empire, their sacking were brutal even for aztec standards: men,women and children were brutalized, impaled, and even eaten, everything was no spared, their nobles were basically fried on burn oil (hmmm, crispy) and the first messages the spaniards sent to the crown in Spain were: they need Jezus like A LOT. Thanks for coming for my ted talk.

Portugal experience be like: *Game doesn't even include the entirety of the african continent for it to be possible to replicate the portuguese experience*

[@FaithfulOfBrigantia]

​@@Joaosantos22114 That doesn't matter, this is a medieval game starting in the 11th century, the Portuguese experience consists in the Reconquista and wars with Castile. The problem is that the game doesnt have enough provinces in Iberia for the real Portuguese Experience.

[@Joaosantos22114]

@@FaithfulOfBrigantia Except the new world is included, and the portuguese discoveries started by 1415 which can also be considered a "continuation" of the crusade. Plus, I study portuguese history and the start of the discoveries period does include the late medieval period but chronological barriers are artificial limiters for differentes periods and we can all have different opinions on where or when the medieval period ends. But the main argument is: the medieval portuguese experience DOES include the early period of the discoveries, especially since the game ends in 1530 when the portuguese had established a thalassocracy in India by the early 16th century, and held the african monopoly since 1434 (and had discovered Madeira in 1419!).

[@FaithfulOfBrigantia]

​@@Joaosantos22114 Having the New World for Portugal is pointless, since the colonization of Brazil does not consist in battles and sieges like the game represents. The early Portuguese naval efforts in Africa are also pointless, as it consists in exploration and fort building, nothing alike total-war like battles and sieges. The Portuguese efforts in the Indian Ocean do have plenty of battles and sieges, but the nature of total makes it so that the naval element of it (which was the most significant element in most cases) is non-existent. You could make an argument for Morocco, yet the Portuguese didn't actually seize any significant territory, only coastal cities that would require an unbelievably larger map that would have so many provinces that all these small territories could be represented. The timeline argument also isn't valid, as if you are designing Portugal to sit around doing absolutely nothing for 170 turns, it's a bad design and the civilization shouldn't exist. Finally, and partially related to the previous point, it's ultimately making a massive dis-service to Portuguese history. Portugal HAS a medieval history, it's a very interesting history and the perfect setting for medieval themed video-games, but it is very unfortunately always, ALWAYS overshadowed by the the discoveries taking the entire spotlight. Every time Portugal is featured in a medieval-themed videogame, it's designed in an Early-Modern Colonial light, from it's units, to it's architecture, aesthetics, and strategies. And it's rich medieval History is completely ignored. At the end of the day, the Reconquista and the Wars with Castile are FAR more impressive feats of medieval Portuguese tenacity and military prowess, than sailing a boat across the globe, bombing cities. And I'm sick of the former being overshadowed by the latter. At the end of the day, i reject the premiss that the Portuguese discoveries are included in the Medieval period. Maybe in English or French Medieval periods, but that's the thing about historical periods, they begin and end at later periods depending on the place. For example, the Iron Age in Iberia lasted until the 1st Century B.C but in Scandinavia it lasted until the 11th A.D. Likewise, the transition between Medieval to Early Modern begins in Italy with the Renaissance in the 14th century, but in England the Renissance only began in the 16th. Personally i mark the Portuguese transition from Medieval into Early-Modern period the moment they conquer Ceuta in 1415.

It has most of the Kingdoms factions, around 40 added regions, and you can choose to start in 1200 or 1236 SS is much bigger, with 199 regions (around +90 compared to vanilla)! Compared to the vanilla map, it's expanded most east and doesn't have the New World. It also has a ton of features added, with new buildings and units. Because of this, it can take getting used to at first. You can choose to start in 1100 or 1220 For me I haven't completed a campaign for either, but imo, they are both great mods.

Ah yes Spain. The first truly modern state in Europe.

[@extrusdnterre1485]

Tf?

[@FeHearts]

@@extrusdnterre1485 it is a reference to Machiavelli’s the Prince. In it he praises Ferdinand II of Spain as a “new prince” with many great achievements. This coupled with Spain’s great achievements and its centralizing reforms have lead many historians to proclaim Spain as the first modern state in Europe.

[@extrusdnterre1485]

@@FeHearts Didnt the Spanish kingdom recognized the autonomy of its different regions?

[@FeHearts]

@@extrusdnterre1485 yes, but it institutions of the state were very centralized compared to the rest of Europe at the time.

[@Zergling.]

@@FeHearts How things changed, this days Spain is so less centralized and each "state" has so much autonomy, almost like the united states or in some cases even more, to the point you have full on political parties in parliament calling for independence.

[@Mimic6786]

[@Tythirion]

Think you will ever try a Third Age: TW experience vid? I know the music copyright would be problematic, but it would be amazing to see a "Rohan Experience" or "Mordor Experience" in this style (I'm probably not the first to say this lol). Anyways, love your vids, been following since the early Otomo days, keep up the amazing work!

[@Pilps]

Modded campaigns are planned for in the future yes! Thank you for the kind words
