I think 5% of this video was watching priests leave Banyas

The priest part made me die of laughter.

>King singlehandedly leads a last stand ragtag exodus out of Acre and conquers most of Syria with the enlightened use of gunpowder defenses >King gets assassinated >"ehh, he wasn't that special anyway"

Sees 12 doom stacks "It's time to attack!"

«stuck defending acre for fifty turns and not attacking» the history repeats itself

16:40 the 12 Egyptian disciples dancing out of Banyas

Holy shit...I almost choked on my drink the moment i saw the first frame...Talking about a crisis situation... Also the cut to the dead army in the siege had me on the floor.

This guys impatience - "C'mon hurry up!" combined with the priests painfully slow walk backwards was hilarious. Got a good laugh out of that one.

MY LORD, MY LORD, T-POSING PRIESTS HAVE BESIEGED THE CITY

"We are eating their arse" -Legend 2019

My memory of playing the Crusades campaign was chasing horse archers around the desert until my eyes were bleeding from the sand glare

Dude's over here fixing literal worst of the worst case scenario campaigns and I can't even beat a campaign normally 😂😂

The kings name, 'Francis the Mad', is very appropriate to the situation Edit - oh, so NOW he's chivalrous!

Banyas translates to "Imam clown car".

>Retreats asap Loses one man. Dammnit Jim,Don't fatally trip while running.

Just saying never played anything past total war shogun 2 but due to this youtuber have now branched out to some fantastic games in this series, but I do know I might end up sending my disasters to you. Cheers!

How many priests can fit in a clown city?

I genuinely laughed out loud at the “Deus didn’t vult” lmao

"if you go to minus one authority, it goes to 10" Civ 3 had the same issue with Ghandi's obsessively nuclear ideas of a late game

The City of Banyas was well noted for its 500% Muslim population.... somehow.

It's so weird to hear you pronounce Banyas, a city that is literally just 20 km away from me

I feel like becoming that Egyptian General at 1:09:05 when I'm trying to do some Legend miracle win strat

In my almost 10 years of playing total war, I never once thought of Sally out with cannon towers and just sitting there... You sir are a legend

Lmao the amount of priests inside of Banyas is crazy

16:11 the little boy population must be traumatized in Banyas.

I think the Crusades campaign is incredibly fun. If you play as Jerusalem and manage to cripple/destroy the Egyptians early on, you basically have free access to the Nile delta.

Apparently he had a doomstack of priest in there as well.

"We strongly insist you convert to Islam."

Pick the hill you want to die on, is such a British thing to say, and i love it.

When you're certain to abandon a settlement or you can't sustain normal order in it just cramp up taxes to "very high" to get those last florins for the next turn. Also i think disbanding the last unit in the settlement is not a good option. At least when the eney besieges it you can still get some dmg to the enemy if you activate towers and then run back to the box to give battle-to-the-last-man. You can still manage to hurt the enemy at least a little.

I legit got a "smash that exit to desktop button" headache just by seeing how bad this disaster

How bored are you in the lockdown? Me: I watched Egyptian priests get out of a town for 5

No better way for you to add to Christmas mood than to perform a little Christmas miracle. (Writing from a country that prefers to celebrate Christmas per Julian calendar, placing it at January 7.)

Legen just cracked open the Iman clone facility of Banyas... and then Damascus hahaha

By The Lord I'll turn off adblock for this

listening to this in the background as legend says "I dont need this, we dont need this" with added sound effects is honestly gold

I think te most important part of Templar strategy when playing with Crusaders is to constantly put pressure on the Egyptians from the very beginning and push them back, eventually capture their main cities, Cairo and Alexandria, using the advantage of better armies and wonderful commanders, otherwise one would expect getting in this kind of trouble over and over again.

I'm just curious, is there a save file which you didn't. Don't get me wrong, you are amazing and overwhelming TW player, but did someone sent impossible save which defeated you ?

13:25 “It’s very important that we capture the settlement during the end turn, not the next turn because we coul- Fucking Hell!”

1:02:22 6000 units of Frankish Axemen. That would be insane.

Full Latin: " Deus non vult".

It's been ages since I last played this game. Brings back memories. Thanks for uploading it and subscribed your channel. Look forward to seeing more from you. Cheers!

I find it ironic that it’s historically accurate how the crusaders last city was acre

"By the grace of God!" And by the grace of Cannon towers.......

The dude cheated to get you to do the campaign. The black peasant means he spawned troops unavailable to that country by using consul commands. Do you see how those same Manganols appear as white troops on the battlefield? That is because their texture doesn't load in if the country doesn't have access to that unit type.

Imagine entering battle against a single 1 man unit and getting "The enemy has lost half their force".

I beat this game on the hardest difficulty with Egypt using exclusively cav units and infantry when taking cities. The AI kept recruiting bigger and bigger infantry based armies but all I had to do was get them to run after firing on them with mounted arrows - make them exhausted then charge them repeatedly until the rout.

With every priest leaving Banyas I laughed a little bit harder.

Thanks for the sally out edits, as you said I think we've watched a few turret fests in the past...

Legend is one of the only channels that I actually enjoy watching campaigns on.

God this thing doesn't get old....I really love this series

"This is so fuuuuucked" I've never heard something that reminds me of Legend at the start of any video 😂

but yes ofcourse, templars gunners i remember them being crucial in the crusades same as those mg42 legionnaires u had in the thumbnail of that video about histrorical accuracy in TW games yes

A thousand armies marching onto the city, and the campaign is still saved. true legend.

Deus Didn't Vult... That line killed me :))

I am just rewatching this and again the infinite priests were making me cry so hard.

really good effort, mate. It being such a challange makes it so entertaining.

this beauty popped up in my recommended. lovely

Holy shit that first battle was agonizing chasing those horse archers.

Summary of this episode... WELL THAT'S A LOTTA DAMMAGE !

When I try to use spears/archers against the Mongols they just charge into the infantry and route everything. With Russia I used mostly heavy horse archers clumped together against the Tims which worked wonders when the elephants weren't there, so I guess that would crush the Mongols as well.

When the priests were coming out of the city I just cracked up 😂😂😂

Those priests leaving Banyas was hilarious

15:37 i laughed so hard,thats a congregation or a new cult meeting

How do you lose to sand people i mean ho.... holy mother of Deus vult that's alot of sand people

brilliant.. your commentary just rocks.. haven't laughed this hard in a while.

Has history ever provided a better phrase than "Deus Volt"?

When he said "what the hell" to those peasant units, I lol'ed so hard.

That moment in which you go to the crusade but God oversleeps...

16:21 you know when there’s a clown car and like 10 clowns come out of it that’s what it was like seeing all of those priests coming out of that settlement. Just a priest clown car.

27:00 - Her: "Be gentle, alright?" Me: 27:17

This Sydc campaign on paper looked terrifying to begin with.

This is like a reliving of the second kingdom of Jerusalem's downfall.

If only it was that easy in real life historically

Look at all those roaches scurrying out of the city lmao

You’re sounding pretty chipper, Legend. Good New Years, mate?

GJ Legend! Now Deus do Vult Again!

Never been on the verge of defeat :) But that is a really historical campaign as Acre was the last capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Just FYI but at 1:25:45 the graphs tell you you are around turn 113 but in reality you are at 128. This happens very often. Next turn you will see the graphs at turn 128. That's why you can't see any progress.

If a horde of Imams would t-pose around my city... I would instantly convert out of fear

This is what I want to see when I come back from an internet outage after 3 weeks, Legend ez moding another campaign that defeated a mortal.

These videos are really relaxing to listen to while studying and finishing tasks? Is there anyway to only allow your channel on addblock?

ugh that title is amazing

“Yallah my Sultan wishes you dead”

Man you're amazing!

Absolutely brilliant.

*legend declares war on the turks* The turks: ....... Why do I hear a boss battle theme playing?

By the way, med 2 has a bug when it comes to giving the promised level of experience to units. The only way to get the experience (as far as I know) is to train the units as the very last thing you do before ending your turn (although building doesn't seem to interfere, apparently, but moving troops certainly does). If units take several turns to build, you have to retrain them (again, as the very last thing you'll do before ending the turn). It took me forever to figure this out (it was mentioned in a video by Arachir Galudirithon, actually).

Hello Legend! Love your disaster campaign videos but I was wondering.Can we get the saves for those too? They seem really fun.

I like that Legend is having a renascence in terms of viewership

If i ever rule the world, I`d like to hire you as my main general!

All I can say with the opening of this video is YIKES

the priests were like clowns in a small car

At this point in his youtube carier, Legend is most proficient with small scale units even though he hates small scale AND plays against large scale units. WHat a boss.

Omg so glad this somehow popped into my recommended. Forgot how awesome medieval 2 was, still on par with Rome 2 and atilla. This made me crave it again and after 30 min of digging through a crate of old Cds I finally remembered that steam is a thing rofl. Just started up a fresh Turk campaign on the classic map. Three kingdoms looks to be amazing but I rele hope for a Medieval 3 afterwards. Only this time the map should extend south to Mali and Ethiopia and east atleast up to Delhi or Bangladesh. The steppe can for the most part very left out or cut off around Samarkand as that was a crucial and central city to the history. either way this was masterful campaign gameplay man well done never thought you could dig yourself out of that precarious start position. Keep up the good work you got a new sub

Awesome job, but I would have bailed out to Cyprus

Legends makes me realize how much I still have to learn I young padewan

the man, the myth, the LEGEND!!

I am a big fan of save scumming. Its like I'm a God, and my faction are my chosen people. Why shouldn't I give them a little prescience?
