Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well. This episode marks the beginning of the Third Succession War series. I'm still not quite certain how long it's going to be as I keep going back to the scripts to change around the dividers. Relatively short chapter to begin things and that's going to be the case for the next half dozen videos. The plan is to get one out every week, with the second episode already up on my Patreon. I meant to upload this yesterday but I legit lost track of the days after staying up all night to watch the election results and then sleeping through Friday. It will be on Saturday again going forwards. Thanks for all your support and patience while I took some time away from the channel in May/June. Hope it proves worth the wait.

@SvenVanDerPlankАй бұрын
I first got the idea for this series reading through the 4th Succession War Atlas, but I quickly realised that what I actually wanted to do was tell the story of the little discussed Jihad and Dark Age to help bridge the gap between the 3025-3067 setting people are familiar with up to the modern ilClan setting (which I know nothing about). Quite by accident, I the series developed into a deep dive into the ancient history of the setting and we've been going through those first thousand years ever since. So it is certainly my intention to go as far as I can along the timeline, but I've always known that at some point I'll look for some milestone in the story to leave it at. Right now I certainly won't feel satisfied walking away when there is still so much history to tell, but there's no way to know if or when I might have a change of heart. My goal is to reach the ilClan, but that is still multiple years away.

On a more serious note, it's honestly wild to see how far this playlist has gone...so many unknowns of the storyline has come to light thanks to your efforts and it all has made me really take a step back and really appreciate how it all started and how it might come to an end. The Inner Sphere map itself is so truly unrecognizable from that old colorless map you started with back in the day, both in your videos and in universe. It's also ironic that you hardly, if at all at times, ever make mention of BattleMech's themselves beyond simply saying when units of them get thrown into the fray. It's makes the setting, to me at least, way more interesting given so much of the games revolve entirely around the damned things and yet so much of the universe they take place in don't. Makes the big old bastards seem awfully small in the grand scheme of things, doesn't it?

Well done. I didn't expect it so soon, but it's fitting considering how fast things go downhill, again. And of course, Kurita causes trouble again, ironically with themselves first this time. All out of what was likely more miscommunication (or just none at all) and paranoia rather than ill intent. And all that was achieved was the ruination of Zabu's legacy and their own internal security force. Of course, this won't set them back at all, because of the Combine's ridiculous plot armor. Warning : Here be ranting and rambling. 7:08 - While he ultimately turned out to be right, this seems like a repeat of old mistakes. At least get Robinson back. 8:15 - How did he get back from Hesperus if he was leading the ground attack? I suppose it doesn't matter, but it seems like a potential story was missed. Likewise, his high influence seems odd, considering, you know...he *lost*. Sure, it wasn't necessarily his fault, but when has that ever stopped the need for a scapegoat? 11:04 - 11:16 The supposedly rebellious, resistant Rasalhague District has been awfully quiet during the era of the Star League and throughout the Succession Wars, at least as far as what information I've found indicates. Odd, that. And leave it to the Combine to think that cross border trading (and a potential peace) is a reason to start warring again. I'm surprised they didn't start out by executing the traders first. 11:52 - What. Barring some Comstar shenanigans, this is just stupidity. They're next to the nation that started this mess and refused any peace agreement, but their leader is considered a potential warmonger? Despite not even having done anything particularly malicious or stupid so far? 12:15 - 12:52 - Here we go again. _Long sigh._
