Machares: The Man who Bored the World He was my favorite part of this episode and I foresee Devin taking him great places. A crossover with an incarnation of the Dark Artillery Lord might actually kill me from laughing too hard.

[@Inmungundus]

I care not for the words and opinions of anyone else. It is FACT that Machares is the best boi and he deserves all the love of the universe for his amazing personality. He is my hero.

[@augustwatring888]

Same here dude. I love his whole attitude

[@hawk7013]

Scavenging through the fields of KZbin, no good content to be found in these barren wastelands, all hope is lost. Then you can see it: the light of Armenia, the light of good content, the light of hope.

[@romulusnuma116]

I think I'm gonna like Machares

[@tomaszprzyby784]

The talks between character are great, I laughed my lungs out! Machares is my hero!

[@cairocopper3238]

----- 196 BC ------ You'd think the bloody battles with our foreign enemies would be the source of the destruction and desolation I have to see as a soldier. How wrong I was. The frigid winter season has claimed more lives than I care to remember. It's a very specific kind of horror, waking up and realizing that half of your brothers are dead, and you haven't even seen the enemy yet. We simply rushed back to our home, some of my comrades mourning the embrace of their wives as they returned, or lost the strength to turn back and froze to death in the snow. I remember a time when they would've fallen on their swords to please the king, I must admit, that dream doesn't seem quite as Radiant as it once did. I spent time with my wife, Yeva as we returned to Yervandashai. Yeva has been happily awaiting my return, lamenting how all the other wives she consorts with have already had children, and insists I give her some immediately, seeing as I'm away so much in the army. Part of me is suddenly thankful for our benevolent king. I know I will be able to return home, to her, if we are beaten..... I cannot think about the worst now. I need to keep my skills sharp, and my wife happy. Heaven knows, Yeva really does deserve it. ----- Garen, Armenian Royal Cataphract, Thunder of Artaxias ----- ----- 195 BC ----- Joining the army is easily the best thing I ever did. The king may be recovering up north, but here, I have my shot. I'm going to make something of myself. I may not be a skilled craftsman, or a farmer, and no woman may ever want me to be a wife, any idiot can kill people! This has to be the job I was born for! I have joined The Army of the Immortals, remember the name, I'm sure it will be legendary one day. My commander is the general Machares, a man who all the soldiers seem to love..... except when he talks...... and I can see why. How can a man make the energetic and adrenaline pumping activity of battle so catastrophically droll. I maybe a simple levy, but the minute that opportunity to be a true soldier comes, you bet I'll take it. I'll come home with so much money and fame that no one back home will ever take me for granted again! ----- Hayk, Armenian Levy, The Army of the Immortals ----- ---- 191 BC siege Melitene ---- I thought after the alliances in the north that I might never see battle again, but I was mistaken, indeed, it seems to have brought more war than it prevented. It is my duty as a soldier to fight for my king, as such, I am riding at his side once again. In my kings wisdom, he tried to bait them into an ambush, but our plan didn't work. We have begun our siege once again, waiting to begin storming the walls once the equipment is built. I have no fondness for sieges, even if I miss more of the fighting than most. I know we fight to free our people, as our king says, but I truly fear what the Seleucids will do when they hear how we tamper with their borders. I suppose I am more afraid to die because of my new children. My two daughters, Voski and Perchuhi clung to my legs to try to keep me from leaving, and my son, Geghard was only a year old, still at his mother's side. They hold my future, the legacy I wish to create in their hands. I must show them what a dutiful man is. Yeva prays for my return, and I pray to return to her in kind. I'm not so sure I fight for Armenia as much as I fight for those smiling faces I left there. ----- Garen, Armenian Royal Cataphract, Thunder of Artaxias ----- ---- 191 BC Siege of Amida ----- How many arrows do we have!? I swear we must've pelted them with enough arrows to kill them five times over. Meanwhile, all we got to was sit in a stuffy tower and wait until the minutes turned to hours! It had signed on years ago, and now it was my first battle, I wasn't about to spend it cooped up in a tower. I heard some of the other levies met no resistance as they got to the walls. Lucky them I suppose, but I had to fight along the walls for quite a while. It became a very crowded couple of minutes on that wall, and quite frankly, the more the battle raged on, the more I really wanted it to end. That's when we hit some bad news: The tower we wanted to go down collapsed, and the rubble blocked the stairs, so we had to run around to half the fortress just to go down to assist our men. It was a long, bloody day, I tripped over bodies quite a bit, but the feeling of victory was a high I've never felt before. It's strange that I want to fight more! C'mon! Bring the friggin' Seleucids at this point! I'm sure we can take 'em. If not, Machares can just bore them to death! ----- Hayk, Armenian Levy, The Army of the Immortals -----

4:55 > Not merging units before disbanding a couple. Devin _pls._

[@theprophetofthepastagod5633]

o Devin wat u do in

[@Zoey--]

Machares is my fucking HERO. Amazing work as always genuinely made me laugh and reminded me how awful bureaucracy is IRL. Imagine knowing someone like him...

[@cullenkerr6556]

Needs more Dark Artillery Lord.

[@noctusfury6918]

I love this Manchares character. Essentially the laid-back version of the Dark Artillery Lord. Honestly, I'd LOVE to hear an entire loop-run of just Manchares dialogue to sleep to. 😂

[@Crow7878]

Machares is so damn chill. You should do a guided meditation video in-character as Machares.

[@MrMortull]

Machares is a legend. I won't hear a word against him! Of course, I'll be doing my best not to hear a word *from* him at the same time, but nothing in this life is perfect... :D

[@rush4in]

Holy crap, the run-on sentences in the dialogue from 6:45 onward. It hurts... Edit: Scratch that. Machares is the epitome of a run-on sentence

[@pinifera7761]

It's just a long and clunky-sounding sentence; it's still grammatically sound but perhaps not practically sound.

[@charleshenri4871]

Oh boy, I think we got ourselves a running gag. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

[@tremor3258]

This is an interesting mod. I hope Machares sticks around!

[@xrichijs]

I was watching this video when it was about 2 AM. And i fell asleep at the diplomat part. Thank u Devin :D

[@Gustavogukpa]

Machares got the charisma of a 19th century south american dictator.

[@cairocopper3238]

Part of me wants Machares to talk before I sleep every night. Just listening to his voice puts me to sleep XD

[@benceklock4831]

One thing about artillery in this mod is that it's really inaccurate, so in a siege it's a good idea to move the artillery pieces just outside the enemy towers'/ranged units' range, and they will still keep missing half the time.

[@hannahmonteiro9229]

Gotta love how Machares looks slightly stoned. No wonder he talks so much.

[@AlvorReal]

Also, Henry Kissinger's armenian ancestor is awesome! That is actually a useful tool to win negotiations.

[@szathmarilambert4943]

You worth more than 22k subs mate

[@nikolajsteffensen6578]

i love Machares. he is the best

[@alexsamurai1230]

Ever try the cheesy strategy of recruiting a second general, transferring your units across, changing the second general to encamped stance and continuing the siege with the first general

[@aurelian2607]

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

[@kyokyoniizukyo7171]

Machers is the reason people had to change the way politics where made post colonial era...

[@RiderKick774]

Machares is like the User Agreement. Nobody bothers to read the whole thing and just agrees to whatever it says because it’s so tedious to read. He might be smarter than he appears...

[@lvfc_4786]

I see Macharias is a practioner of sound government.

[@Aries-jw3eq]

A great commander with no off switch for his mouth. @Officiallydevin

[@scribblerstudios9895]

This new general is a interestin tidbit.

[@idkwhatsgoingon4584]

Should have made a Life of a soldier video on the arrow back soldier

[@kurumachikuroe442]

Machares: The Man who kills his enemies with Boredom

[@AlvorReal]

Machares is beautiful.

[@kord3468]

You had the end turn crashing problem yet? I found and played the mod in the last week. Couldnt get more than 100 turns in until i had a impassable end turn crash problem... mods still in beta with updates to come however. it really looks good. like DEI for TWR2

[@shinsenshogun900]

Good to bring back the old Japanese bureaucrat General Daizoji from Barbarian Masters to the past Machares will keep in touch with the allied Armenian Nobility established in the Sophene lands

[@eddyxc1697]

This is some good youtube content! +Sub

[@tinchosabala]

Machares speeches are quite complicated. I mean, how much time did you spend writing them?

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Not much, annoyingly long ways of putting things come naturally to we Brits!

[@Troubleshooter11]

Machares, the Armenian Lawyer...

[@mrnobody-unowen]

I’m excited!!!

[@BrutusSalad]

2:49 [Pontus flashbacks intensify]

[@Evilgrinn]

Damn does Machares likes to talk xD

[@Colmcille_]

When can I get a voice transplant wit you

[@mahu1877]

oh hell, ancient bureaucratic babble is just as infuriating as modern one... good job

[@guestguest4881]

So Machares is basically Daihoji?

[@adamm2091]

Based Machares btw

[@blue_ocean7774]

Christ, it's as if Machares himself KNOWS how boring he can get and just uses that to his advantage 😭

[@jakehughes5933]

Carthage in Rome total war 2 and build a trade Empire

[@RedPanda391]

Damn. The Seleucids should handle independence factions better.

[@R3GARnator]

Machares = Grand Maester Pycelle

[@oofman2153]

I'm still confused. why not just play Rome 2? it's a better base game now and doesn't have the limitations of being an overhaul mod

[@felnorin4978]

Morreeeeerrweeer plsssss!!!!!

[@kingstratagist]

Machare's is one of the most annoying people to go up against in a siege. because he knows how the game works and statistically he is correct in his approach to volley the enemy down. but the morale of his men will lead to his downfall one day.

[@22myguy]

Machards- how the hell is this guy a ladies man?
