How did you make the pikes work? did you used a mod that avoid pikemen to drop their pikes in melee?
Good to see the vids again! Will you do a Crusaders campaign next?
@@CsStoker I fixed them in the game files with the help from To Nerd is to Human TNH videos! Would highly recommend!
@@TheCreepercrusader DLC campaigns are planned for after the main campaign factions are all done!

Scotland in nutshell
"You either get killed by England or you live long enough to see yourself become as England "
Damm this is true aha
I just found this comment and now I know people are gonna say I stole this comment
Yeah not irl tho. We just wanna be rulers of ourselves. So that we can then eternally fight ourselves. It's what we have done since before the celts, the romans, the vikings, the English, the British.
@@vadoksam9235 Lmao sturgeon is paid by russia to dismantle a key opponent
James I be like
Remember, if you ever do a "Sicilian experience", go the "Frederick the second" rout and buy Jerusalem.
I was gunna go the mad AI route where Sicily is always delcaring war on everyone and always getting excommunicated 😅
@@Pilps If you do a Venetian one remember to ally the Byzantines and the Milanese and attack them next turn
@@luketheunlucky7632 oh most definitely!
Or go to chess and do the Sicilian defense
Yes lol
I think there's nothing that makes me coom harder than visible armor and weapons upgrades in this fucking game
It was such a missed opportunity in Warhammer to not show any changes to units after researched tech that adds armour or more weapon damage.
@@civilprotection3114 Medieval 2 engine is supreme over Warscape, and every game that was released on it.
@@civilprotection3114 tbh don't thing Games Workshop would have allowed them to add anything to their models
You also had different speeches from your generals based on their traits, and overall how it would affect your morale on the battlefield and also titles that were given to your generals based on their loyalty/ dread and deeds and what they did in game, e.g if they went on a successful crusade.
More proof why the older games are better and Creative Assembly cared more about their games!
I love how the Scotland Experience is just vibing on the isles until you can Karl Franz the entire continent.
Gotta get those gunpowder units!
As a Scotsman myself, I audibly fuckin cheered when you re-named London to Scotdon, I looked to the painting I have of Bannockburn on my wall and cried a single tear for my ancestors 🥺
It had to be done! The True Scot’s Dream!
Robert the Bruce will certainly be proud....
You say Bannockburn, but i say Culloden, cos its not the heats that count its the finals
@@ryoumakoushiro7447 which one?
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Culloden hasn't got anything to do with Scottish wars of Independence pal. Culloden was the British Govt vs Jacobite Rebellion/Invasion.
All I can hear is the Scotsman from samurai jack. I love Scottish peeps. Their insults just utterly destroy whatever is left of your dignity.
Damm i wish i used him now, how did i forget about him?!
@@Pilps Quick take the video down and add him in. We'll pretend we never saw this!
@@Pilps ohhh that's tough talk coming from a man who wears a basket on his head

@@Pilps quick you can correct it! I paused the video JUST so you have time to fix it :)
Even the Romans thought it safer to just wall the Scottish off
They were right!
More that Scotland was kinda worthless
Same reason they ignored the Irish lmao
"It just rains all the time, Imperator. And there's weird guys with weird accents who keep insulting us from the top of cliffs!"
@@jacolitethepumpkin765 Not exactly worthless, just too difficult to invade because of the terrain.

This entire game play is happening as if pilps drink more than three Scottish beer within minute
Fun fact, i drank my entire Laphroaig Whiskey bottle for the full Scottish experience!
@@Pilps NOW WERE FOKIN TALKING, all ya need now is a wee 16 year old bottle of lagavullin to celebrate the achievement
@@Pilps Best whiskey out there, good lad!
@@Pilps Deep fry some heroin and your sorted ma mucker
@@thijsheesen4901 Need to still try Lagavulin! Would love to try it!
I miss the general speeches that this game perfected
And when certain traits effected their lines, for example if extremely drunk all the time they would be drunk in their speeches. Creative assembly don't give their games enough care as they use too
Arse weavils
@@Pilps it’s because they still make metric crap tons of money, no matter if they have cool little things going on
Wdym they gone? I still have them
@@zetos4440 they’re talking about the more modern releases.

Funny enough one of the kings of Scotland died when the canon he was inspecting exploded.
Ok, that's funny
They did love their grizzly demises!
The Scottish campaign is the very definition of You either die a Hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
It truly is
I love how Scotland, a relatively niche player faction, gets a full and wonderfully acted set of voicelines that is unique to them (until the Kingdoms expansion), while the entire Mediterranean has to share one set of voicelines.
They all getting their generals from the same exact place however I don’t know what the place could be.
Scotland can probably be one of the most fun campaings if you just chessed the early game and spammed Higlanders that would buzzsaw all of the other factions early troops.
Oo that’s a good strat too!
Honestly that's what I did. Siege warfare is stupid fun when you have about three siege towers worth of axes and claymores ready to wreak havoc on any wall defenders
how do you get the pikes to work
@@haripadagangaram8326 Not a godamm clue. Everytime I use them they work for like 3 seconds and then the soldiers drop them for swords. They seem to atleast work against cavalry charges.
@@haripadagangaram8326 Only with mods which disable their secondary weapon. And that fix tends to make them OP, even when their damage is nerfed to compensate. I remember getting M2TW back in 2006 at release and being so disappointed by the pike bug.
Seriously though, imagine how different history would be if the Scotts actually did come to Mesoamerica first before the Spanish or Portuguese.
Where're me nachos, laddie?
Now I'm just imagining tex mex inspired haggis and blood pudding, which to me is both cursed and intriguing...
@@hfar_in_the_sky Probably just have more corn in it.
With thier pale skin, I imagine lots of sunburn.
While not first the Scottish did actually try to colonise America in an incredibly intelligent way . They tried to build a Canal , much like the Panama Canal with the thought that charging for entry as this would greatly reduce time and danger for shipping would make them incredibly wealthy , however it was a disaster for them due to disease etc ,
and put Scotland in huge debt ,
They were definitely too early to the party when trying this as technology wasn’t up to scratch.
this is one of the main reasons Scotland joined the UK as this huge debt would be covered for them .
Honestly the moment I saw this upload I was wondering how long till the "Scotland Forever" audio was gonna be used... about 4 minutes 23 seconds. Good on ya lad. Loved the vid as always man.
It had to be done! Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! :)
As a scotswoman, it is mandatory to use that meme.
@@Iymarra what would a Scottish woman do to force a non Scottish man fall in Love a sword in hand in a warrior kilt !?
The Scottish experience reminds me of the Oda experience with just a a lot more drunken insults
Definitely
There are only 2 quotes for Scotland:
1. Freedom !
2. You bled with Wallace. Now bleed for me.
What about.... SCOTLAAAAAAAND FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
ALBA GO BRRAAAAGGHHHHH
Don't forget: "IT'S SHITE BEING SCOTISH!"
@@Pilps"WE DID IT LADS, THE FORT'S OURS!"
"Oh fuck, wait... WAIT THEY COMMIN' LADS"
"YE WANT STEEL, COME 'N GET IT THEN!"
For me and my Scottish run, I was bros with France. But then France got mostly conquered by Milan and being the bro that I was I took most of France's old lands back from Milan by force. And as fair compensation, I kept all the land I conquered because I knew France would understand. Because I was such a bro. *innocent whistle*
Thank you France for once again, being lands to conquer!
Seeing the Scottish pikes killing the Scottish Archer Guard is kinda sad. 😔
THEY CHOSE THEIR SIDE! AND IT WAS THE END OF MY PIKES!
I have no pity for lowlife "soldiers" who sell their services to the king of France. Don't deserve to be called true Scots.
@@Pilps If they didn't want the pike, they shouldn't have stood in front of it.
When was that?
“You either die Scottish or you live long enough to become English”
-General Willy D Wallace 1342
I enjoy playing as Scotland because you can go from uniting the local Celtic rebels and feuding with the English, to shoving your pike into the HRE , doing a reverse invasion of Norway, and creating an Empire that spans from Ireland to Hamburg/Genoa.
SCOTLAND FOREVEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
14:12 Scotland: you were my brother Denmark! I loved you!
Denmark: I will bring freedom, justice, and Milan to my new empire!
Scotland: your new empire?
Denmark: don’t make me kill you…
Scotland: only a tyrant deals in absolutes… I will do what I must.
Denmark: you will try…
“Who are you suppose to be?”
“IM SCOTTTTTTTISH!”
Oh god that power ranger lol
i miss the small animations done by this game, the way the troops move, charge, to the way they reload and brace for cannon fire, it still makes medieval 2 my favorite total war still to this day. I really wish CA would put these small details into their new games. They honestly make a big difference. ;-;
They really do, Creative Assembly doesn't care as much as they use too sadly.
They still have that for their newer warhammer games, just the focus is kinda on different things i think. Granted, i havent tried their historical games yet.
This was great, simply just perfection all the way through; congrats on another banger Pilps. I now eagerly await The France Experience just for the hilariously snooty laughter, bashing on the English and HRE pig-dogs, and avenging Agincourt before it even happens.
Agincourt have been avenged ten fold quickly after so we're already on the good timeline ^^
At the Scottish victory celebration in Bologna at the end:
King of Scotland: "Kill Jester."
Italian diplomat: "I'm afraid I cannot do that traveller."
Look it's ma empire she's shite get rid of her
"Oi lov' te tase o' irn bru in te moornin'!"
-Wise Scottish warrior
My only issue with the Scots is the lack of late game unit variety. You're still stuck with Pike Walls, but with Mortars.
Its a very fun still!
You mean to tell me you’re not a fan of long pointy stick?
@@thinkwithurdipstick Long pointy stick is fine, but if that's your only unit you can rely on. Combat gets repetitive really quickly.
You can also field those Scottish armoured swordsmen, Knights Hospitallers and mercenaries such as mercenary longbowmen, mercenary arquebusiers, etc.. There’s also a very fast moving mercenary light cavalry unit with armour piercing weapons from the east (“Alan light cavalry”?).
how do you get the pikes to work
I was so shocked to see this!! Just finished my first Scotland playthrough, and I was hoping for this video!!
You really manage to condense all the fun of a total war campaign into these videos, and for that I salute you.
It is actually more difficult to have fun playing Medieval 2 myself to the extent that I enjoy watching these Experiences.
thats because you have a short attention span lol
@@morpheusgreene2704 um, you must have mistaken something. I have thousands of hours in strategy games of the slower kind (including m2tw), attention span issue is kind of out of the window.
I've thoroughly exhausted med2 to the point playing it feels like an absolute chore, but watching these lets me relive exactly all the fun parts.
What an enjoyable video! Got some good belly-laughs out of me. Man I loved playing the Scots in this game back in the day!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Aaay the scottish schiltron at 17:50, aka the noob square. One of my faves😂😂
The outlaw king is really good movie for those who are interested in Scottish warfare between the English
All I saw for a moment were kilts, pikes, Braveheart, and the need to scream out:
*SSSCCCOOOTTTLLLAANNNDDD FFOOOORRREEVVVEEERRRR!!!!!!!!*
_Begins to blare out Bagpipes to terrify English dogs_
Yes I'm back pilps. Good video as usual!
Oh yes I am extremely happy to see overpowered Scottish pike formations, time to grab a cuppa.
Enjoy friend! THE PIKES ARE DEEP WITH THE CANNONS FAR BEHIND!
@@Pilps im just wondering how ur managing to get the pikes to work, without them dropping their pikes for swords.
You have no idea how much i enjoy seeing you pop up in my feed.
Patrick Bateman at 9:36 was muh favorite part. Perfectly encapsulates my war on the Gauls I'm having right now in Rome2 with DEI mod.
Most fun civ for pike action!! Great video as always, mate
Dunno but everytime i see videos like this makes me play medieval 2 again, it's like there's something in medieval 2 and shogun 2 that always makes me comeback unlike the newer titles.
This is beautiful :’) the references were everything I could ever ask for
Pikes go BRRRRRRR
I think Medieval 2 is the only game in the world where you get to see visible changes in the armor when you upgrade the units.
Scotland always was and still is my favourite nation in Medieval, thanks to the Braveheart movie. Besides, it's just fun to pick a small country and, despite all difficulties, turn it into a mighty empire ^_^
I did much the same when I first played this game. My first victory was with the mighty Scottish Empire
Ye my campaign rn is the danish they can get insanely rich with Sweden and all those coastal cities in the Baltic and North Sea
that crusade right after the announcment of the Black Death is the way to play
Man I've been waiting for the Scottish experience for a long time
Just reminds me of this weirdo middle school substitute teacher who talked about Japanese beheading Chinese people during WW2 because he briefly mentioned how Scotland and Ireland are actually the same country and are connected by a land bridge
Honestly I have a lot of insane teacher/sub stories from middle school and it all makes sense once you take into account the fact that I lived in Florida at the time
I had a weird sub teacher for French class who ended up just teaching us Chinese instead 😅
The only land bridge between Scotland and Ireland is the one beneath a ridiculous amount of water
That really speaks volumes about American education. I realize a substitute teacher is hardly an example of high academia or anything, but it's not a ridiculous hiring standard for the person who will be teaching children to actually know basic geography...
It's a systemic problem too, I interact with a lot of Americans who are staying in Scotland, and apart from the Americanisms and sheer lack of cultural knowledge, they're just geographically illiterate... Some of them think they can just go on road trips in this country like they can in America and are shocked that they end up in another country after just 2 hours of driving.
Sounds like the kinda person who makes a mockery of their history degree by writing books about Atlantis and conspiracy theories involving the 'lost' tribes of Israel.
@@spaghettimkay5795 Tourists are the dumbest of the dumb. It should go without saying that there are plenty of intelligent people in the US, considering we put a man on the moon and had the most solid logistics of ww2 out of every other involved nation.
Finally THE PIKE EXPERIENCE and the Voice actor experience and the Scotland’s secretly op edition
The catapult scene was AWESOME so was the batman on france!
Scotland FOREVER
Gunpowder: Gets invented.
Pilps: Heavy breathing.
Pilps videos are the best, keep them coming!
You have no idea how happy this video makes me feel I was literally staring at your channel wondering when the next video was
William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Highlander and Bagpipes will become legends for posterity.
Have been waiting for this campaign!!
SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!!! *epic bagpipe plays*
Now this, this does put a smile on my face.
As always mate, love your videos. Keep it up. 🏴 🏴
Being of both English and Scottish heritage as a American I have no idea how to feel about playing either faction. I feel like both the villain and the hero and idk what to do.
I also like Longbows tho soooo... *pew pew*. I am torn.
ancestry means nothing here, youre just american.
Same longbow are the finest in any conquest of Europe.
Glorious gunpowder show, Pilps! 💥💥💥
Really like aesthetic on the Denmark's Last Chance part
So hyped up, even the siege ladders are vibrating!
Could have ended the video at the destruction of England and it still would have been 10/10
FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM
Scotland: England’s Amazonian girlfriend to wife that both hate(leading to hate) and love each him
Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?
The tags, oooohhhhh, the tags!
Also, the semi-wholesomeness that goes on each chap would be good too.
Great part of the video for the sponsor plug, intro is hands down best place for it. Good humour mixed with it really helps to break the ice. (Definately did not pause to write that😅)
Came for the Alba Gu Brath.
Got dead Milan as a bonus.
11/10 quality video.
I really hope that Danish alliance is foreshadowing a Denmark episode :>
Man your videos always put a smile on my face 😁
Glad you like them!
How long have I waited for this! Thanks Pilps!
Hope you enjoyed it!
"Aye, we'll wait seven turns alright laddie" top kek
Well we found out everyone hates the perfidious anglo, next up water is wet. I love you Pilps, oddly satisfying to see this channel get a sponsor.
Thank you for the kind words! :)
He says, in English.
@@urmum3773 The moron can't see i'm speaking American, y'all'd've known if you folks ever picked up a book to read that wasn't a porno mag.
Pilps.
I've been waiting for another campaign. Never expected Scotland though 😊👍
I love Re-watching these while waiting.
Recently after three long years I've installed it in again.
Funnily enough Pilps I've been playing Scotland on the Britannia campaign 😂👍
gotta say, i liked the integration of the ad so far the best so far also god damn the freaking patience to wait for the gunpowder units
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :D And yes, it was worth it to get my cannons!
I will never understand how Pilps manages to get all that fucking money in game, but that's part of the magic
As someone who refuses to ever use cavalry the scottish have no weakness, they are all strength.
better storytelling than hollywood movies.
Beautifull
Love your videos and channel pal! I'm looking forward to the french experience and the cav spam ♥
I took the whole world as england once. The worst to fight were the genoese, then those horse riders in the far east. Every unit was basically and armored knight with a long range bow, half the times a horse too. I threw mailed knight after mailed knight after feudal knight at them.
This a good game.
Now for the Irish Experience
Pilps well done. Despite its age its still a Great game
Many fond memories.
My suggestions, Spain, Venice, Sicily, and moors, Egypt, France 😊👍
A truly magnum opus Pilps! The Finale got me vibing like a celtic asmr satisfactory vid but with pikes and guns. Delightfully devilish!
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
Pope is the sole reason I play Total War Warhammer. Those constant excommunication threats are such a pain.
Okay, it's time to prepare Haggis, Tennant's beer, and Johnny highball.
It's beautifully ironic how in this scenario the Scots were fighting to secure their independence from England. And then once they did, they reformed into a powerful modern pike and shot army and embarked on a massive conquest. They became the very thing they swore to oppose.
3:46 "I like where this is going!!!!!!!!!" :D
3:50 "OI! HANG ON!"
Beginning scene was like brave heart
medieval II battles were so intense, like no other TW game :(
Imagine thanking your sponsors before the battle instead of giving an inspiring speech.
This is seriously a damn good video. Bravo!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!
Just loved the finale and music 🗡️🤨🏴
You make me want to play more Total War bro, and I already play A LOT of Total War
So Scottish pikes don’t have that silly glitch/bug thing where they lower their pikes and use swords instead?
I think this is modded or smth, because normally they should have it as well.
@@MagnificentXXBastard That’s what I was thinking, but saw only one mod in the description :(
this uses a mod that fixes that glitch
@@pluemas you know what mod? The one listed?
Put them on defensive/guard mode - they will stay in rank and use their pikes.
How can i be so addicted to your videos since the Otomo one ?
You're just too awesome.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the videos dude!
I look forward to these videos, you perfectly mix the real experience and comedy in one video. I can’t wait for more :)
Mine highland heritage is currently screaming XD
Up the Scots!
I'm quarter Scottish so I can kinda relate to this! 😅
Remeber border horse is legitimately one of the best light fav units in the game
Been waiting for a Scotland empire thank you sir
Man I love this game. And I love your videos.
Can't wait for the Venice experience, one day!
So at your hands... Dream of The Great Celtic Empire is real! 😆😆😆
I love this, just perfect videos
