Also, I edited this. I have over 1,100 editor applications and I'm shelling out big $$$USD so it might be a lil while before I pick the 2-3 that will help me, but thanks for being such nice people. I'm very blessed :) 😇
Wow so epic aa
hope you can find a good editor soon! looking forward to more videos and uploads from you 😇
Good luck wading through them all 🤣
I'm 3 min in and this is already the best video you've ever made. My God I can't stop laughing.
This video sucked.
As an American, and a wizard, it feels really empowering to see my people's history finally represented accurately in media.
Congratulations on your 40 years of virtue! I too one day hope to realize the immense power of my pristine virginity.
As a sentient clump of biomass, i agree
@@elplaceholder as a non sentient clump of biomass, I blarp
@@og_propagandapdx8592 as a [funky] little [worm], i blarp too
Ah i was thinking a different wizard of american wizard one of a more grand variety.
The D in Franklin D Roosevelt actually stood for Franklin "Dark Arts" Roosevelt
And don't forget his successor, Harry Sorcerer Truman
George wizard bush
Edit; Dammit, watch the vid before you comment! 😅
Richard Mage Nixon
Woodrow Necromancer Wilson
Zachary Paladin Taylor
His Dark Arts were so powerful, yet costed him his legs, which is why Franklin 'Dark Arts' Roosevelt has to sit on a wheelchair 😢
@@yeeyee5057 I think you mean his metallic golem steed, powered by the souls of... I dunno, probably Canadians or something.
The "S" in Ulysses S. Grant's name actually meant "Sorcerer", he used his powerful magic to win the war for the North.
Don't forget William "Thaumaturgy" Sherman, who burned his way across Georgia with pyromancy.
The geomantic magic of "Stonewall" Jackson were no match for their combined powers
He was the only one capable of stopping the rogue Robert "Evoker" Lee.
Huh! I thought the S stood for "Sage"? Must've misremembered.
How can we forget John "Freezethrower" Kennedy? He was assassinated because of his immense cryokinetic powers.
It was a little awkward when we didn't find WMDs in the goblin lands but they probably moved them. Goblins are sneaky.
Wizards of Mass Divination
The Council of Incantation and Alchemy has been known to dabble in dark arts and deception, I would not trust them.
I love that Spiff did a British version and exploited the game, meanwhile AA doing it the American way
A little bit on the nose of you ask me...
😂😅😂
@@BertoxolusThePuzzled what are the emojis meant to signify

Can't wait to see Kevin give it his take
American Amphibian
This sounds like if you told a computer to write an fanfiction based on American history.
Yes, but only if you ask to write it like an ai from last year
Yea it's not a very good impression of what the game is actually about. AA missed his review on this one. Less exposition and more gameplay, if the goal was to try and convince me I should buy it.
@winowmak3r he wasn't trying to review it or get you to buy it. AA's videos are entirely story based, I don't think he has a single "review" of a game, it's all just stories of playthroughs.
@@winowmak3r Wait he has reviewed games on this channel? Last I checked he mostly chooses some of the most batshit insane scenarios for the games he plays. There's plenty of good channels that review games if you want more of that
@@winowmak3r Shut up party-pooper.
As an american I cried red white and blue tears, there might be something seriously wrong with me
No no, you got the Upgraded Freedom Package. You’ll now neve be able to own a home though. I hope this helps! 🎉
@@xxzzeta Do I get the glock as a thank you for participating award?
You should see a doctor about that.
If you want crippling debt that is!
Murica!!!!!!
@@vaimantobe3034 naw I have herbal teas oh and insurance that covers medical anomalies such as this
Crying aquafresh is totally normal, I wouldn't worry about it
This is the most accurate retelling of American history I have ever heard.
i like biscuits
Not many people know this, but the B in both Rutherford B. Hayes and Lyndon B. Johnson stands for “Blue Wizard”. They were Tolkien’s inspiration
And then High Wizard Bush, in all his majesty, cast the spell "Desert Storm." It wasn't super effective but we all can agree it was a kick ass name for a spell.
Mission accomplished
What was that song called again?
Oh wait nvm it was Sandstorm
The spell "Desert Storm" was super effective, so much so that it made the Americans admired across the land. The spell "Goblin Freedom", on the other hand, did not live up to its promise.
As a Texan and an aspiring sorceress myself, I couldn't be more proud of our history. My spellbook surges with patriotism.
the game has character pronoun options 🤢
@@gm08351 ...okay?
As an American from the lower reaches of the dark sulfer pits formally known as New jersey, I can confirm this to be accurate. It was a sad day indeed when George High wizard bush banished the goblins to the mines of this forbidden land, but it has since been reclaimed by humans, both wizard and non. The once sweltering suffer pits being reclaimed by lush green fields and large crumbling buildings, now known as Kearny. Though it is told that if the days are warm and long, you can still smell the near limitless nodes of sulfer and rubbish, and occasionally see the bird of the goblinites, the air pirate, now known as the seagull. Terrifying and never ending in their hunger and thievery of fried Frenchman.
The nice thing about being enslaved by the goblin kings is that I had low taxes and the giant beetle mounts were great, cheap and efficient public transportation.
As an European, I utterly enjoyed this real rundown of american history. I knew there was something more up with Florida!
The Florida Department of Investigation wants to know your location... So we can talk
Grover Cleveland, among America's mightiest wizards. His second term was actually run by a facsimile which he conjured to run the country for him while he was studying magical techniques in Saskatoon.
9:50 As a native Ohioan, can confirm, we are all happily living the Goblinist dream.
My grandma always told me "I don't care what they say, ancient Americans were magic". Thank you AA, for speaking the truth, and squashing the anti-magic historian naysayers once and for all!
Nice 👏
Underrated comment
Lmao
Im from Texas and can confirm this regaling of our nations history is 100% accurate.
Little known fact, the 'A' in Chester A Arthur stands for abracadabra, making him a powerful wizard
I swear AA's absurd storytelling is unparalleled. Dude makes entertaining masterpieces for whatever game he's playing.
Also... How dare you attack the Cat people. Cat people have never done anything wrong, but be absolutely cute/adorable.
The only channel that doubles as a gaming channel and a history channel.
And now apparently just 10- to 15-minute commercials.
I can confirm that the American Air Force refers to the faction of Wizards who handle Air Magic, and the ranks include Wizard Basic, Wizard, Wizard First Class, Senior Wizard, Staff Wizard, Technical Wizard, Master Wizard, Senior Master Wizard... and of course, Chief Master Wizard.
I'm here to represent the Geomancers of the Army, but don't forget our brothers-in-arms; the Hydromancers of the Navy and the Crayolamancers of the Marine Corps.
@@Thalatash Goddamn you. I was drinking and spit it out at Crayolamancer. Lol.
The bravery of the crayolamancers is well established. I'd o7 but most of them work for a living.
Enlisted wizards are the backbone of the Arcane Forces. Sad that generalist sorcerers, also known as "officers," that can barely cast a magic missile and are fresh out of their magic academy, are put in charge of entire wizarding units.
@@maddllamakmh1040 * Americane Forces *
Theodore Roosevelt Jr, was a "Junior grade badass wizard", who would summon land to be zoned as unusable
I put this on in the background for AA's soothing voice. Halfway through, I realized I knew every word that he was saying, but the combination of them all made me think I was much more drunk than I actually was.
The “A” in James A. Garfield actually stood for James “Alchemist” Garfield, a true pioneer of the wizarding world!
I was forced to study american history in school as a european and I can attest, this video is true, especially the catgirls.
Being in AP US History and hearing, "George Bush," "Our first settlement, Texas," and "Rough Riders," all in a row almost gave me a stroke.
That was an in depth look at a small portion of history. A little disappointed we didnt hear about William Hogwarts Taft, or Lyndon Barely-a-wizard Johnson.
Jeb isn't asking people to clap, he's clapping them with that hammer.
"Magic Johnson, obviously a wizard" I was not ready for that. Thank you AA.
This narration is what you get when you mix TF2 Soldier and an English degree.
I love how it started out as, “Here is the TRUE history of America.” At some point, it turned into, “This is a game.” Then back to “Truth.”
"All Americans are magic."
A darkness rises in the east, like a tempest-storm; unfettered, unchecked, unbroken before the blazing fires of a nearby Denny's. With alligator in hand, he strides forth, undoing the very nature of reality, and lo did the people wail at their presence.
Florida man is risen once again.
The M in Richard M Nixon stood for "Magician", but this itself was a dastardly ruse. If you flip the M upside-down, you reveal his true name: Richard Warlock Nixon.
The Warlock Gate Scandal was truly a difficult time for the nation
The "R" in Joseph Biden's name standards for 'Ritualist' for the sigils and runes he created which gave creation to his iconic Biden Blast
I don’t think I’ve ever felt my urge to get a game increase so much from a single video before. I was on the fence, now it’s in my cart (metaphorically).
this is just a glimpse of aa’s full power of poetic narrative
Game: allows mixing up and creating your own culture.
Me: starts mixing in parts of vikings, aztecs, mongols and japanese.
All AI's neighboring me: /sweats profusely/
Pff. British, Spanish, French, Dutch, American empires killed and conquered the most in human history. Those cultures above don't even come close.
@@Tonius126 found a tankie:D
So, which american empire? I've already mentioned aztecs, but apparently you prefer mayans? Incas? Toltecs?
@@TheArklyte lol you know who, the only one that calls themselves Americans in the Americas. An anglo saxon state who upholds the current world order through breton woods, creation of alliances(Nato, Aukus, etc) and thier vast modern Navy.
@@Tonius126 and this "american empire"™, is it in the room with us right now?
@@TheArklyte He always is
I would be so utterly amazed and pleased if one day, I'd hear your voice as an npc in a game. You'd be an excellent voice actor for almost any imaginable character :)
Love your videos man, keep up the amazing work!
Maybe not, it takes more than a good voice to be a good voice actor. I would be pleasantly surprised if he reached the heights of Koudelka or Legacy of Kain though.
an artificial amphibian, if you will
@@LutraLovegood I mean, you're not wrong. Acting is totally different than making gameplay videos on CZcams. But imagine a character that would be slightly unhinged, kinda like Cicero in Skyrim, wouldn't AA be perfect to voice such a character? But yeah, I still agree with you thou, voice acting is a lot harder than it sounds.
@@thepsychobilly88 That's a possibility. We should get AA to make a demo of his voice acting capabilities.
I would like to see a 'Gerald Williams' pop up with his voice somewhere.
The F in John F Kennedy actually stood for "Fire Mage"
“My massive (useless) armies are costing so much that my cities are being prevented from growing economically.” Is the most American thing you could have ever done for this video besides all the magic but that’s a given.
god if that aint the truth lmao
As an American I appreciate you teaching me fancsinating parts of my history I was unaware of.
Well dang, it's good to see you branching out into very real history like this! 👍
What a beautiful episode of "what the fuck did I just watch" 10/10 mouth made spider noises.
Paradox must be watching this thinking "what the fuck". Absolutely love it.
As far as history lessons go, this is far more accurate than what's being taught in our public schools these days.
The editing in this video is great AA, whether it was you or your new editor its really good!
this video last 11 min and you posted that 7 min ago. finish the video before saying dumb stuff
@@stalinemdr2797 off the bat you can tell the editing is good? 😂someone didn't eat their wheaties!
@@GypsumGeneration my yeah I was angry 33 minutes ago now i became someone nice
@@stalinemdr2797 my guy I liked the editing and left a compliment, contrary to popular belief you are allowed to scroll down and leave a comment while the video is still playing. You're coming in really hot for no reason here
I liked the style, but at some points, it started feeling like a bit too much of a good thing. I think it would have been better with less layering things on top of each other so you can barely see what's going on in the game.
Also, the zoomed in fast-forward gameplay like the Phoenix and the battle were painful to look at.
As a magical American wizard, I can confrim every second of this video is 100% historically accurate.
That was.....magical.
Some of your finest work, AA!
As an American, I can confirm we are magical. We can banish cheeseburgers more proficiently than anyone else; our transfiguration magic is unparalleled.
I have this installing right now. Can't wait to play it. Great video!
Let's not forget James "Archmage" Garfield, after whom the latter leader of the cat people was named
Truely a work of art, never before has American history been told with such an eye for historical accuracy
This is one of the funniest videos of yours so far, love the form and jokes in this man, I usually don't giggle at CZcams videos, keep it up man, love it
Liked and favorited for Texas being the capitol of America!
George W "now watch this drive" Bush. 😁
9:34 I love Beethoven's ninth symphony, but I don't really think of the US of A when I hear it.
This was the most complete documentary I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing our true history
Does the American edition come with a 700 billion + military budget?
You have to get "West Point: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Edition" for that I'm afraid...
@@ambiguousamphibian damn libs getting there way
I always had a feeling Ohio was a staple of Ancient America. Maybe someday soon we will rise with Flordia and Texas to retake our former glory.
As an american alchemist, its nice to get some recognition after all this time. If you didn't know, france was primarily run by wizards during the revolutionary war, but the wizard majority was overthrown afterwards which is why they started fighting against us afterwards. Naturally, of course, the wizard majority got back in power soon afterwards, but its still an interesting piece of history.
5:19 "President Bush experienced a random fugue event..." lmao
As an European, every time I ear American History.
It make me smile.
They have what? 4/5 hundred years of History?
The very pas of there lands was willingly erased in their colonization and now they have just very recent history.
But still a nice video from best wise frog of the internet!
2:58 "like a fresh green breast... ehe.... breast" never fails to make me chuckle
3:31 The cat boy conversion has begun. There is no stopping it.
Whew I was worried about that history test tomorrow, but ambiguousamphibian coming in hot with the KNOWLEDGE.
Paradox, throw more money to this man. For he deserves it.
I love the more narrative videos like this one. I'm looking forward, to see more of them, when you have an editor.
I played the first 3 Age OfWonders games with my dad and brother as a kid. I thought they were great. Glad they are still making new games in the series.
I would love to see you play the Elder Kings 2 Mod for Crusader Kings 3.
It´s absolutely massive, with so many different Ways to play.
You can play as an Elve, that can get 500 Years old.
Become a Vampire or a Demon Pirate.
by gosh golly, amphie, you can still deliver an 11/10 narrative!
Mother Liberty is well known for her two windmills and quarry.
Ah, a classic AA narrative masterpiece!
4:50 The American default to mean goblins who keep insulting you:
Send her MORE money.
If it wasn't for videos like this one, I wouldn't know anything about the true history of the world! Thank you for the interesting lesson of what they refused to teach me in school!
When you can’t remember history on the quiz, so you just write something down:
You know when I was little, I thought the president was actually a bush that people just sought leadership from with some kind of druidic ceremony.
A wizard king is cool, but I think less cool than asking a juniper bush what to do
Let's not overlook the contributions of Barbara Bush. The "Bush" stands for Bush-wizard.
Barbara Bush-wizard Bush.
The spider noise killed me.
Very nice. Truly the timeline that the W. ("Wizard") Bushes deserved. Jeb!/10
He spoke for the trees
"And so the diplomacy of the 4x variety commenced"
Laughs in Ghandi.
"High Wizard Bush" killed me
Bro went from grayscale existentialism to straight-up surrealism in a blink
Aberacadabra Lincoln only had the success he did because of his wizardry. He actually wore a sorcerer's hat hidden underneath his tophat.
Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was a Druid wiht a perticular fancy of transforming into Bears
I see the new Netflix documentary on American History just dropped.
Finally I can learn some hard truths.
Maybe -30% transparent overlays?
I FUCKING LOVE THIS!!
OMG, you GOTTA DO MORE
I would expect the spellbooks of the Bush family of wizards to be decorated with Stars and Stripes and eagles on their covers.
Let us not forget the many other Archmages who led this great nation:
The great alchemist, John Quintessence Adams,
Ulysses the Sorceror/Scryer Grant,
Rutherford Blackmass Hayes,
James Amulet-bearer Garfield,
Chester the Adept Arthur,
Warren Geomancer Harding,
Dwight Divination Eisenhower,
John Fortune-Teller Kennedy,
Lyndon Baphomet Johnson,
George High Wizard Bush
Wow, you could almost see some gameplay between all the memes! :D
The first spell learned by George washing wizard was prestidigitation, naturally.
presidential prestidigitation
As a goblin myself, this is American revisionist history, we were peaceful and they invaded US
It's easy to forget that Bill Clinton was our first bard president. The world just wasn't ready for his sax.
this is the most accurate version of American history I have ever heard in all my life, this is what we should be teaching in school.
The "J" in Homer J. Simpson actually stood for Jay. He really likes donuts
Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers AND the most powerful conjuror of lighting
Nice, thank you for making my day always feel better :)
I saw that this was "American Edition". I had to watch this twice as stood tall and said the pledge of allegiance theough the entire first watch.
This feel like it was overly edited.
Dialogs are still tops, but there's no breathing room for the jokes to land.
