Trying to SURVIVE as the ROMAN EMPIRE but the BARBARIANS are invading

Рет қаралды 101,364

Күн бұрын

EU4 Rome or EU4 the Roman Empire is one of those nations in history that was plagued by barabrian invasions. Today, we're playing as EU4 Rome in the EU4 Extended Timeline mod, just before it splits into the Wester Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire - EU4 Byzantium. To make it harder, all the barbarians are controlled by players in EU4 Multiplayer or EU4 MP.

"Laith, I am sorry. They came to me with an offer. I couldn't refuse. " "Who, the germans?" "Everyone. I am so sorry." "Everyone? What is the offer?" "You." - Imperators Arcanus and Laithus, the 2nd of February, 394 A. D. The day of the Great Betrayal. The day the Roman Empire fell.

@@SereglothIV i think he can still recover from this even in multiplayer. Most of the barbaric alliance d'ont really have a common ennemy to keep living on.

No but, all jokes aside. It has nothing to do with showering, I guess it does, but I could have avoided it only by showering 3 times a day. So heres the thing, heating in my room is so fucking bad that it goes from alaska to deepest depts of hell in like 30 min(which makes you sweat). Usually I avoid that problem by not turning it on(thats why im used to being cold, and now kinda prefer it), but I got sick, and when you get sick your body goes "wait a minute, lets burn this bitch out of our body" which makes you sweat even more. And to top it all off, since im not moving at all, accumulation of sweat is more probable, in certain areas that is. Now these things should be private, but you know, something something controlling family and a possesive ex.

Money was ticking down at 300 a month, every flipped province gives the barbarians 10k manpower, we were out of manpower and had exploited every province, the mercenary stacks were out of manpower, the 80kish troops we had trapped on the British Isles were able to move through the north sea (which we could not see cause of TI therefore bypassing our blockade) and were slowly filtering into Germany. Also their manpower and mercs were recovering much faster than ours and it cost a lot of men in attrition to siege for us. Basically we did not have an effective win condition, so even if we could have lasted another 10-15 years, I thought it best to jump ship right away. Beating 15 players all deathwarring, who were finally properly unifying their troops, is pretty difficult. I guess the reason is that I'd get peace if I went east and left Laith to die in the west. This kinda synergized with Laith defending the west, and me defending the east the whole game in my mind. If I am being honest tho, I did it cause it would be fun and a good way to end the video lmao. Laith's reaction to getting turned into swiss cheese was priceless. I'd do it again if given the chance.
