Disappointed there's no surprised roman face and big red arrow, but the thumbnail is still top tier 🤣
Mod dev here. For any new players interested in trying the Catalaunian Fields battle: lining up your infantry in a long line with archers behind and cav on the flanks is most effective against the huge cav force the Huns deploy. The largest blob of foes is gonna come from the North-East as that's where half of their armies spawn, but you do get the Goths on that side as well. The Alans and the Franks are on the Western flank but don't count on them.
Or you could play as the Thuringians and see Attila lose just as hard :)
Another tip: don't put your infantry in shield wall formation because, while they may withstand the Hunnic lancers better, they'll be perfect targets for their horse archers! I'd suggest putting your archers in loose formation, too.
I'd also suggest not to wear out your troops too much with counter charges, because the armies just keep coming: remember you have to defeat 4(!!) of them.
Where can I get the music used for this mod?
@@araulius2132 merlin movie theme
@@nlmnx5763 i'm looking for the theme used at the screen before battle

I would love to see more "Ooops all trashfire" campaign hahaha
I have never played any of these games, but this seems like a lot of fun for people who like to play these types of games. I love learning history, so this intrigued me. I enjoyed it. Keep on with this chaotic campaign, I say.
Insularis draco my beloved. Every time I see it on the channel, my day improves demonstrably.
I’ve not actually watched many of your Total War videos but this campaign has drawn me in!
Needed to deploy further back so you don’t fight alone. The Huns are cav so you get overwhelmed
the mod's music selection is *excellent*, wow!
Thank you. I decided not to go for historical accuracy (because hardly anything is known of pre-medieval European music) but for the right 'feel'. So you'll hear a lot of instruments that absolutely weren't used at this time, most of them weren't even invented yet, but they fit the setting and amplify the immersion in an unfamiliar Dark Age world.
@@jgenard well it definitely worked 😁 thanks for working on this mod
@@jgenard this is the best medieval 2 mod
The music in the menu, at least, is lifted from the Sam Neill 1998 Merlin miniseries, by Hallmark. Actually a rather sweet little watch.
Hey man. Do you have a list of all the music used? I'm running a DND campaign set in the late Roman empire and the music of your mod would fit perfectly@@jgenard
I played as the Danes and it was a really cool but unforgiving start. If you don't know what's coming your way you're basically screwed lol
Sorry :P
@@jgenard lol its all good man I love your mod
39:00 More like Invisigoths
Saddest thing about MTW 2 is the incredibly unhistorical model in vanilla.
We have literrrally THOUSANDS of examples of PROPER armor and colors.
I would definitely be up for seeing more of this.
A late Roman dumpster fire... Where do I sign up for more.
I need to see more!
I really enjoyed it. More disaster, please!
This seems like a fun one Dave
Please continue this campaign, I love the slow burn TW campaigns myself
Great mod.
oh boy we're in for a treat
insularis draco is so peak
I think the clickbait title needs more CAPS XD
I vote more
Big medieval 2 player here and never heard of this mod xD
More !
Nice.
Anyone know where I can source the OST for this mod? I'm running a D&D campaign and this would be perfect for it.
