Specificify Never made alliances or deals that I broke, told the Inca guy I’d think about it and that was good enough for him, the dude on Ameriga was paranoid and betrayed me. Something he’ll testify to later. I told each and everyone of the guys in South America I was never committed to helping them in their wars and had other priorities, what they did was up to them. I own the server we play on, although it’s just a game if I played like a scumbag I wouldn’t have a functional server.
I feel the same way right now as I did watching the bengals vs browns game like two days ago. Like I expected this outcome but it doesn’t hurt any less.
"I'm not going to join the war, I'll get killed on all sides" gets ganked anyway Big Brain Diplomacy from dual monarchy to wait until your enemies can bring their army back to their border instead of killing them while they arent there
@@lot2973 If the war was inevitable, I would rather fight 2 enemies, and probably die, taking Aragon with me and giving them a good punch in the nuts, rather than fighting 3 enemies and feeding them my land for nothing. DM guy is really useless
@@lot2973 Blitzkrieging Burgundy would be a better idea imo, Aragon won't join in time cuz more than third of his army is in America and by the time Scandi can bring his troops, Burgundy would be half dead. To make it short, DM had more than 2 choices
Marl Karx if he had allied with Spain and ganked Aragon early then Spain can help him, plus Bohemia should join in against Scandinavia with any diplomacy, he was an awful DM player
@@lot2973 Well I'm not saying I could do better, I'm saying even an AI could do better. My point was he could do a preventive war, which is much better then just death. And please let's not speculate rn, what's done is done.
Nah, it's way more epic than that. It's like a soldier bleeding out in the forest, with his dearest friend (Qingqiu), fighting the enemy who completely surrounds them, almost out of ammo. They both know that Qingqiu will get mercy if he surrenders, and that Spud will die inevitably, but they will fight to the very end
Plantagenia: "I never tought i would die fighting side by side with a chinese man" Qingqiu:"How about side by side with a friend" in all seriousness this series is the best tragedy i had the pleasure of watching and its got me hooked for its outcome. its like watching a car crash.
Rouille must have felt like Flavius Stilicho this entire session, being the sole domestic general holding everything together while the capital falls to foreign invaders and unification is made impossible by sheer incompetence.
Despite the second hand ptsd I have gained watching this campaign I still think it’s some of spudguns best work. From the memes all the way to the sound track it’s all just been sweet nectar injected straight into my veins.
The tag switch to Belgium Confederacy is on the cards BOIS. 4D chess moves. Letting the septiman patriots make Belgium big and strong. But sad there's no immigration buff on belgium
Is it just me, or does nobody in this entire series ever keep their promise? It's just people being dragged into wars or kept out of them, based on promises that are never fulfilled.
It isn't depressing. It's sad, tragic, but far from depressing. It's encouraging on a cosmic scale. It may not be the kind of story where the Good triumphs. But it's the kind of story where the Good is. There may be the spiteful Vinland, the manipulative Gran Colombia, the heartless Aragon, the cowardly Dual Monarchy, yes. But there have also been the loyal Qingqiu, the determined Spain, and, of course, the resolute Plantagenia. You look at these little men struggle. You pity them. Pity is not what they deserve. It's admiration. In a world of Evil and treachery they dared to avoid such things. Their sole existence warms my heart. May their deed be repeated over and over, echoing into the future, inspiring more heroes.
I really love how you can see the contours of a bromance story between the two Generals: Liao Tien and Philippe- Joseph de Rouille. They are like a reflection of the two players. I especially love the moment at 18:11 where Qingqiu's troops break through the Vinlandic troops to reach their allies (though I just noticed they where lead by another general). It would be appropriate (though unlikely) that they both die in the final battle. A Tragic and Heroic end to a Tragic and Heroic story.
30:04 If Steiner attacks, you beat them in that battle, then push them back, turn the whole thing around and achieve TOTAL VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!! Only if Steiner attacks.....
@@ryzziktrognesou1 Burgundy literally has as many brigades as DM, all Aragon would have to do is hold while DM gets obliterated. Scandi also had a good reason to join (cores) so he wouldn't even have naval dominance or the ability to recruit from England if he lost stacks. DM was almost certainly dead regardless, at least this bought him some time to TRY and get some allies (which he was unable to do).
He could, but he was banking his entire country on the vinlandic war. to come back from this he need white peace and 10 years to recover. But that was before Gran Columbia joined. He wagered his entire country and lost in this war.
Nah man...This has long gone from: "Uniting Arcadia" to "making every inch of Platagenian Land be as hurting and as bloody as it can get". I really wish there would be some kind of scorched earth you could deploy to just spite your enemy. For every province lost it shall be covered in foreign blood, bodys and tears of the players trying to take it
This series is so infuriating. Finally, Spudgun’s in America in DoD! I’ll finally get to see some quality Arcadia ascendant asskickery. And this happens. Like the flaying of skin. Lashes of a whip. No satisfaction, no victory. Only a descent into the war-torn depths of minor power status.
ah yes that sounds reasonable. aragon is trading troops in exchange that the world wont get mad at him on the command of vinland. "bro send me troops and I guarantee the next big shitstorm you cause will be stable", what?
in the end traded 5 infamy? lets be real, it wasnt a trade, they wanted to kill you, and they wont be above ruining their nation to do it. aragon-italy simply bet that its neighbors would be literal fucking potatoes. >european rivals A rival is supposed to be of equal or roughly equal strength that opposes your influence. aragon-italy is SURROUNDED BY FUTURE PROTECTORATES, not rivals lol.
@@tokigart Aragon was fucking stupid to accept that. You needed all the infamy you could get to kill spud then hypothetically GC, where were you going to get the infamy to help him?
Agreed. I don't know why people think he will tag-switch into Belgian Confederacy; that's just as bad a position and I'd just expect Vinland to knock him out. In fact, Arcadia itself is doomed unless the Great Powers decide to intervene.
What has happened to you in this Campaign is actually Criminal, "Dead" AI Countries suddenly getting players mid war, Great power Interventions for literally no good reason, allies backstabbing you. I hope you can come back from this and make the enemies of Plantaginea pay!
Honestly, it feels like everyone is teaming up against him. This series is stressful as fuck to watch, seeing someone's hopes and dreams crushed by his adversaries.
@@ssteel it happens to people every game and if you look back at every series spud gun as ever done there has been someone that gets ganked it just happens to be spud this game.
@@instantgaming9327 While yes I agree with you in a sense, this is really a special case as Vinland and Belgian would either be completely gone or vassal states but on multiple occasion players have gone onto those nations after they turned AI which turned an easy war into Vietnam: Arcadia Edition simply out of spite or something, and then usually Grand Colombia and/or an Overseas power jumps in. No one in the Americas is really helping Spud, sure theres Qingqiu but realistically they're only useful as cannon fodder for Plantaginea's good generals to use. Spud has made some diplomatic and strategic blunders but he is in this position mostly because every overseas power is willing to help other people, who consistently make empty promises, but not him.
You've really made the storytelling on these into an art form. The post-commentary, the meme-gameplay ratio and the editing are all done to perfection. Even if the storyline itself is tragic and depressing to follow, you've everyone hooked on the series. Great vid keep it up :)
Son, have I ever told you about how Arcadia came to be? Well it was a bumpy ride to say the least, but it started with one important man. Philippe-Joseph de Rouille!
Bad ending this is. By agressive diplomacy of Gran Columbia and sneaky diplomacy of Vinland, Plantagenia is basically dead. I think, that we will see the maximum of 2 or 3 more episodes of this series.
Yeah. Agressive Sheeping off the South Americans enabled this. Once Lotharingia was being partioned and GC sheeped the south he had free reign of ruining the only enemy capable of defeating GC. Which is Platagenia. Not that Vinland or Belgian cant do it but Platagenia has the tech and men (at first) to go and stand in the way of GC. Also Platagenia has it easier to actually forming Arcadia as you have the south of the required land already and GC cant take it away apart from defeating Platagenia
This reminded me of the invasion of Poland in 1939. Being attacked on multiple fronts, calling for military aid that should come but never will, and yet you still kicked some serious ass. Good on ya Spudgun.
In episode one, I saw Qingqiu as a foolish child, an ally that only held Spud back. Now, I can see he was perhaps the greatest ally one could ever ask for. Perhaps not the greatest player, but certainly the most loyal. His allegiance unwavering, his commitment unending. Truly the greatest of men in a world of darkness
DM: Dead Brain Scandi seeing 100k Aragonese-Italians going to america: look at those sweet baguetts GC: Sauron Pre-Second Age in his Anatar form Qingqio(i really cant write properly): The Ultimate Mega Chad who is standing with Spud till the end South America remmants: i really cant help you (holding 70k or so professional troops) Japan: i help my future enemy get strong so he can bang me China: The nice banker who really help you a little on money Plantagenia: The origin of depression and anxiety of mankind
These series are just so good, both the Muscovy and American ones. They keep me wanting to drop everything when Friday comes and watch the new episode 10s of fuckin times
Infamy transfers feel like they break diplomacy. It makes it almost impossible to predict who will come into a war since the major power doesn't have a strategic reason, they're just being paid essentially. Anyone can bring in potentially any major player if they offer up infamy
@@tokigart not really, since the taker doesn’t even need to fight, just take it for three seconds. It doesn’t make sense in the wider scheme of things. In my games I disallow infamy transfers because they’re just really dumb.
Jesus man your content is so good, and I love how you kinda transferred your style from PW into this. I miss the PW videos purely for nostalgia but damn these series are so damn good.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Lots of players in this game have allowed themselves to be played by their enemies believing the promises that would never be held. DM made me think of Neville Chamberlain coming back with his signed letter from Aragon-Italy. South America throws away every chance to break from the chains of GC.
The campaign that General Philippe-Joseph de Rouille led down the eastern coast, finally ending in complete destruction after the battle of Sainte Eleanor is worthy of song. It's equal with Napoleon's final defense of Paris in 1814, except Rouille didn't give up even after the lose of his army. He simply built a new one (though I guess Napoleon did the same, it just took him almost a year).
The aragon-italy player is such a fool he got stackwiped so many times for nothing,if he would have sided with you and destroyed aragon, he could have even helped you against Gran Columbia and would have gotten a good ally. He chosed the worst action possible and will probably suffer by it. Meanwhile Gran Colombia reigns over everything now, like I said previously he is truly a great antagonist and a great strategic player. Loved the video!
Spud, Could we get a total death count at some point of all the wars in the Americas so far, so as to appreciate the scale of the bloodbath that we are seeing.
There are three things that a very satisfying in this video. 1: that stack wipe on that Italy guy. 2: seeing Vineland full of rebels. 3: Zombie looking like the girl on the couch with the huge black guys behind her. I can’t wait to see the results!
Finding this channel made me want to play Victoria 2 again. I ended up wasting 24 hours in a week playing this, having fun painting the map in singleplayer. Why do I keep playing map game. Also if nothing else, fuck Vinland over.
Hey dude, I'm just gonna thank you for such complete and good citations of music and video sources in the description. Not often I go to check for something and actually get rewarded. This was such bull. Plantagenia forever!

Its not over yet.

First, there was the Dual Monarchy.
Then, the Single Monarchy in the Muscovy series.

Honestly Spud, you're great with your resolve, if this was me, I'd be sad, angry and would have given up.

One day Arcadia will rise from the ashes
.
Gran Columbia is Palpatine confirmed
I am like DM wouldn't miss an opportunity like that and here we are..
Tragic is perhaps the best word to describe this series. Yet I am hooked. It pains me to have to wait yet another week to continue watching.
Why did you pan on the Belgian Confederacy towards the end? Great video
He's gonna jump to the Belgians
what a maniac
he's gonna keep going!
Spud, Could we get a total death count at some point of all the wars in the Americas so far, so as to appreciate the scale of the bloodbath that we are seeing.
Qingqiu is such a fucking Chad for sticking it out this long with Spud
I was not expecting the sopranos referece, nice.
Such a cliffhanger. Can't leave us like that! We demand part 8!
bruh to be continued, surely nothing more can come to this...unless...
Based Rouille, literaly saves his entire country alone
There are three things that a very satisfying in this video.
1: that stack wipe on that Italy guy.
2: seeing Vineland full of rebels.
3: Zombie looking like the girl on the couch with the huge black guys behind her.
I can’t wait to see the results!
This is painful yet somehow cathartic to watch, a tragedy in the theatrical sense of the word.
Great video as always!
Thanks for putting my comment in your video.
Finding this channel made me want to play Victoria 2 again.
I ended up wasting 24 hours in a week playing this, having fun painting the map in singleplayer.
Why do I keep playing map game.
Also if nothing else, fuck Vinland over.
Leaves from the vine...
When it rains, it pours
Love your channel, its inspired me to give vic2 a second try after giving up on it years ago expecting it to be like eu4
Hey dude, I'm just gonna thank you for such complete and good citations of music and video sources in the description. Not often I go to check for something and actually get rewarded.
This was such bull. Plantagenia forever!
Qingqui player is a living definition of an allied loyalty
They say history is written by the victors. No, it's written by Spudgun
LOVE these vids. Especially the editing. Stay strong ;(
