Transcript
00:04Hello everyone, and welcome back to my
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsame vein: defeating our enemies,
00:23building up our trade and money reserves,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined8
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas well, so I'm just gonna quick save now. Our
00:57numbers are quite low, but these reinforcements
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined12
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe've got here is this hill,
01:27which is going to be a bit of a problem for
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined16
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcould have our backs to a wall on a hill.
02:03The only problem would be if we need to retreat.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined21
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSo they can go there now. These troops,
02:39archers, are going to be a bit more difficult
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined25
undefined:undefined26
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThey're coming from that way.
03:22I'm not sure what I'm going to do
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined30
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedisn't really something I want to happen.
03:51But I'll see what I can do. I could fit them
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined34
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat the enemies, like attack the enemy once they've
04:14gone past them. Let the enemy pass and then leave
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined38
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhere, in some of the previous Total Wars,
04:45they could attack you but then just
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedattacked. So it's just carrying on the siege, but
05:12you know. Yeah, but this hasn't happened in this
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmatchlock ashigaru. There are more of them,
05:38but not really. Oh, they are
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe're going to be less accurate,
06:06but because they've got better morale,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined56
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedenemy can't flank us, but not very good in
06:40that we're not really in the best
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined61
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedseems to be working. No, no, they're coming from
07:13the left. I hope they haven't found a way to
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined66
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust behind. They need to stop.
07:51Hopefully, my matchlocks can deal with them.
07:57Oh no, they've reached them quicker
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined71
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhelpful. Yeah, even if they reach my troops,
08:31there's enough of them. Yeah, I've killed
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined77
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin case the enemies try to attack them.
09:13I'm not sure they're gonna really reach
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined81
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin time to cause any damage.
09:38All right, just gonna speed it up
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined85
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgoing to be just outside of range, maybe.
10:06I can't see any of their other troops, so
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined89
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe're gonna have to shoot them now.
10:30They're at long range at the moment, but hopefully
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined93
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedget better volleys off now.
11:02See if we can get one last volley.
11:05Yeah, point-blank and they're already
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined98
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis they are very bad at melee. If
11:34you can get the Portuguese terços (I
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined102
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddoesn't really work out all that well for them.
12:02The gun's really the only good point about
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSo the main bulk of their army is turning up now.
12:42They could cause some quite heavy casualties. I
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined112
undefined:undefined113
undefined:undefined114
undefined:undefined115
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhile the matchlock and archers shoot at them. Oh,
13:23let's see if I can get these ones up here where
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined119
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhill, they're gonna come charging down
13:53to this point, so I've been getting
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined125
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat the same time as these lot; otherwise,
14:23they will be shooting at them while the mass of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined129
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto pass through their fire.
14:54And samurai charging down the hill now.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined133
undefined:undefined134
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstart advancing too quickly, too much.
15:27Right, one's covering the other at the moment.
15:33Right, we're ready to attack or defend.
15:38Well, I'm not sure what they're doing, though.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined140
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI mean, it's been 15 minutes and
16:08we still aren't really engaged properly from that
16:11charge at the beginning. Seems like they're taking
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined146
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhy they'd throw their general away so easily.
16:42Right, they're gonna start firing.
16:46So, wait, try and cause some casualties but
16:51resigned to the fact I'll probably lose
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined152
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstart reloading again once the enemy got in range.
17:22We can deal with a third of them.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined161
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI'm not sure how much they were reloaded, but
18:23at least they'll be able to take the full—they'll
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined166
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese ones. I sort of charged them halfway up the
18:50hill, got a shot at, and then charged all
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined170
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmorale shock from these would quickly
19:16cause them to flee. Right, they seem to have
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined174
undefined:undefined175
undefined:undefined176
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedone shot off at the beginning if they could.
19:51A lot of their troops are wavering.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined180
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmatchlock infantry than my actual army,
20:19so I'm gonna send them over here and then I might
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined184
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust deal with the enemy quickly.
20:45Apart from the matchlock down at
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined188
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedquick so they can't attack us with them
21:05because that's basically going to be
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined195
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese ones with sheer weight of firepower alone.
21:59Attack them from the rear and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined200
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbows. Um, I'm gonna bring them up here
22:43quickly as I can just to get them
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined205
undefined:undefined206
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI think we've won this battle but
23:22now it's just a case of limiting casualties.
23:30And I have lost quite a few troops.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined211
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthere, but I'm not sure that would have worked.
23:49Right, so bringing them up the hill, maybe turn
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined217
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust taking them all out now.
24:36Never even reached the top yet. I mean, then
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined221
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddown the hill, running away.
25:03We've mounted, more or less.
25:08And I pulled them back, then let the archers
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined227
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey never even got to the bottom of the hill,
25:36barely, and they're already dying quite quickly.
25:47And they've run. I haven't killed them,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined232
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof our matchlock infantry survived, thankfully,
26:14and all of our archers are pretty much unharmed.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined236
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgot more rank and experience for our troops,
26:40so we're just gonna carry on. One of their armies
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined240
undefined:undefined241
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThey can't quite reach there, but these ones can.
27:25And how's the battle? How's the siege going?
27:31Well, they're still outnumbering us by about 400.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined246
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpost getting raw silk now.
28:01See if we can grab that place up there.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined250
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmore important matchlock.
28:26Still getting quite a bit of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined254
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI'm just gonna have to leave them for the moment.
28:56Uh, wrong button.
29:03Now we cannot trade. Wow, that's not good.
29:08Can trade with the Cigara but I'm not sure
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined260
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto attack us. So again, I'm just gonna
29:36do this next turn or I'll probably end the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,020
undefined:undefined264
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust thank you for watching. See you next time.
