[PAWNED71]

[TheEpicMan2736]

3:27

:3

[marioornot]

omg they speak dutch! if you only knew what they said its hilarius XD

[vlad5441]

or you can just nuke the city. It would take one person to do . Back in a day people were fighting knife to knife, in todays world its button to button. Its what i call war of buttons (who can push a bottons qucker :)

[Josh44Tube]

@vlad5441 Doesn't even matter how fast you can press it lol :S

[frankydman]

Realistically, what I see here is that in a siege, the sieger is actually at a disadvantage to the one being sieged, because speaking tactically, it is easier to defend a position than to attack it

[marioornot]

@frankydman is'nt that where forts where build for?

[frankydman]

@marioornot

That's what Im talking about... when you siege a fort

[killerrj8]

@frankydman thats why i never play sieges in multiplayer. Im not that good in the game anyway and in a siege i would barely loose

[444coole444]

ik versta alles wat ze zeggen

[MisterRofltastic]

0:36 I heard a fart

[Treeslayer60538]

Areyou the Russians? Is that the striped bars? lol I'm not familiar with that flag

-Tree

[gobabygo90809]

are you the guy that always camps on PrinceOf Macedon

[anthead500]

was that a jet air engine i heard after u said a very long time later ?

[dap11028]

the sieges in rome total war and midevil total war are the best this just took to long haha

[lesio80]

Poor tactics. Permanent lack of co-operation between unit/forces on both side.

[SuperTravis898]

hey thats how the game works. but since it was a multiplayer battle i wonder who was playing the british. he was a idioet he did not even fire hes own guns then let them invade the walls and left most of his calvary to watch tell the end

[DarthFanta]

Sieges in this game is fucking ridiculous.Grappling hooks? I'd very much liked to see people from creative assemply trying to climp grappling hooks. They use ladders historically. Furthermore, the forts were located in an open plain were armies could attack you at all sides. Takes an entire stack of men to defend a fort properly against another stack of enemy.

[GeassKnight51]

@DarthFanta i agree why not just mass some cannons and destroy the fort piece by piece slow but sure beats the hell out of zerg rushing it hoping to overcome it with shear manpower.

[DarthComrade]

If you carried the Ottoman banners and brought along at least three units of 24lb cannons, those walls would've been down in no time.

Then raid the walls with janissaries and Mameluks for support. You would've wiped the floor with him.

Learn from the fall of constantinople. ;)

[Nighthawk2702]

0:36 lol the hours has fartet :D

[TheTeremaster]

dude do you even know how to fire a gun??????

[PilotInCommand100]

to little infantry for a sige

[StainedNL]

Dude. You rock playing as dutch! (yeah im dutch xD) but. just one thing. Why dont you like. Speak? Imean. awsome to see it all. but a little bit of youre talk or seeing al troops and stuff would make it even better

[infokemp]

I hope there is a Napoleon campaign expansion with the Dutch settlers in South Africa against the Korsia & Zulu as about 1800 the Dutch where starting the Great trek.

Good comment StainedNL

All the best

Infokemp

Holland & England stand together in Afghanistan!

[punischer4]

omg the dutch actually shout their orders in dutch !!!! awesome , i must have it do they have the belgians XD pobably not

[ViccardXViccc]

@punischer4 no, the spanish have Belgium in the beginning of the game.

And, Belgium people speak Dutch(or French), so it wouldn´t make any differnce xD

Star forts are very diffecult to defend. You must have an enormous garrison(at least 12 units), and still is very hard

But the rest of the game is really good!

[punischer4]

ooooo damm dude sounds hard indeed :p well im from belgium so i think its cool they shout in dutch ! :D

[mastercheif158]

it would be cool if your enemy could toss a hook off,

adds a little more challenge

[Ultramarine998]

haha its like " Lets build a gigantic fort " , " rather old chap " 4 years later " you know it looks abit empty charles " , " Oh wait Frederick , the dutch are here , maybe they've brought some furniture !?!?! "

[gameplaya117]

lolz

[darksatan877]

hmmm u won very expertly but there were 2 mistakes that could of cost u the game and also u jumped on all the mistakes your enemy made very well played by the both of u eathier way

[vangelisdenaxas]

I think the battle takes place in a fortress in India, judging by the features of the buildings and walls.

[aramwolfbkr]

yousuxk

[MasterOfFlash92]

dont whine about taking a fortress when u only got 1 FREAKING CANNON! -.- i mean wtf its a fortress if they could be breached with a pocketknife there wouldent be any need 4 them!

[Eregost2]

siege battles in rome and medieval 2 are great imo. though the ai sucks hard in both of them.

[centurion1616]

lol im dutch! definitley goin to buy this 1

[Muca0172]

dutch pwns with that game myself im a american

[Frki2005]

I wonder wheter there will one daz be a modern warfere total war

[FullMetalOvercoat]

I don't think so :P These days it only takes a few dozen men and an air strike to take out a fortress :P

[Frki2005]

True,but it would be cool to do that,but in modern warfare game it would probably be attacking big cities and fight street to street...

[theaceman1997]

which is why order of war is coming out its not modern but its ww2

[Zbrock104]

That's without the casualties. :)

[jawzmarkboyz]

@FullMetalOvercoat same withe yer maw then ya cunt

[FullMetalOvercoat]

@jawzmarkboyz Lol.

[GeassKnight51]

@FullMetalOvercoat Sigh ;[ yeah forts aint what they used to be now they are just death traps

[SquareHeadSlacker]

This video is a nigger.

[BeyondOrwell]

lol

look at 7:30: the dutch guy in first line in the middle xDDD

[02Tony]

I own this game but i can't play it because of stupid steam and crap PC; what a waste of money.

[moizeus]

ALMOST NONE die in 747 charge

[ludwanzor]

Obviously it took so long time to breach the fort since u played small army size... which have lesser men and much lesser cannons

[brandini555]

ur ususally not supposed to breach walls fast,grappeling hooks are easier and in some cases better

[MercifulBoss]

How much damage does an enemy do when firing from walls? Is it safe to charge the walls?

[Tombking2]

Why don't you try adn see for your bloody self?

[MercifulBoss]

Nice and Rude.

[billboi92]

The artillery from the forts are usually solid shot. So if the ground your seiging on is just right, the cannon balls will not bounce therefore taking very few men out. Unless the enemy has exceptionally good rifleman with plenty of numbers on a wall, it is usually safe to charge walls

[dannym432]

the british were out numbered and they are just to good on this game

[mems3210]

2 ways to breach walls ropes and cannons pretty shit wheres all the seieg engines like the other total wars?

[DRaipom080194]

yeah i gotta agree wit u dere

[Flood0923]

There was three reliable ways to breach a stone wall in rome and sieges were a waste of everything on medieval 1. Siege battles have never been amazingly complex in this games

[JPPMJC67]

Its 19th Century war not middle age war...you should have a look on your history books or wikipedia before saying such stupid things

[bling4568]

0:36 there is a noise that sounds like a pig grunting

[regig123]

u know whats funny? u bought horses to a wall climbing siege. thats just s2pid. just bring regulars

[DrChalkwithering]

A smart defender will send out occasional sorties from the fort to attack you before you can get your troops in place. Cavalry helps deal with them.

[Sacurason1]

you know what is sad? the climbing stuff all looks cool, but they have NEVER, EVER fixed the getting OVER the wall part....

[Pimmeez]

doh, with these cannons you'll never breach a stone wall. You need the bombard or the ones with explosive shells. You were using round shot either wich is the worst for it

[KDP3200]

I miss taking cities in total war. And i hate how long it takes to get all the cool features when your attack like Trenches and mines.

[AmericaATHolland26]

at 4:03 is a weird sound

[6s27]

what type of windows are u using

[DaneFalco]

Ok I have to ask, how does sieges work in this game? Being use to Rome/Barbaric/and Medieval 2, do you setup siege engines before hand? Or do units come already equip t with like grapling hooks and the like?

[jdhthegr8]

Nope. You can train the artillery and cannon units like you would any other unit in the game. As for the grappling hooks, any unit that can walk on top of walls (infantry) comes equipped with the hooks. Simply right-clicking on a section of wall will make the unit use them.

[DrChalkwithering]

Siege engines like those in Medieval didn't really exist in this time period. Sieges work the same as regular battles; you deploy in your deployment zone and then you attack. You use artillery and your infantry have grappling hooks to scale the walls. In real life 18th century war a besieging army would breach the walls with artillery and then just pour through.

[whoa92341]

wow are you playing on a windows 98 or what?!

[Nobody2230]

When you said it was 'a big ugly fort' and i first saw it, i thought 'hey its not that ugly'. Then I saw the interior...

[MasterRazzle]

Looks like Great Britan Capture the Castle of emos

[hungrymanmarlon]

your the guy that freaks uot princeofmacedon

[hungrymanmarlon]

out

[pcw1010]

lmao it is princeofmacedon is awesome at total war games

[cotCoc]

the graphics suck IN 2:00

[watfordbean]

should have brought out the laser cannons, pew pew that fortresses ass. No?

[shep164]

I hope you realise that the idea of a fort is for it to be a strong line of defence against any enemys.

They wouldn't have been destroyed instantly by a small group of cannons, whatever size they are.

And the whole total war series is designed to be realistic.

[EternianIrish]

@ shep164:

Thats true, but if you made it too realistic you'd have to sit in front of the computer for days/months waiting for a breach to be made. That'd get pretty boring pretty fast!!

[shep164]

Well..... i must admit that when i tried a seige after watching this... i got bored and didn't complete it.

The shrapnel shot is preety kewl tho.....

[livingdragonn]

YEA good job you used the ducht :)

only the siege looks boring :(

it isnt appealing :(

[Cuukvaagis]

Is it just me or the melee looks horrible in this game.. :(

[MusicGuy17st]

how do u make this game not lagg?

[mike123987]

Get a better computer.

[BGursky59]

meh seige dosent look at all appealing

[LtGenAile]

they never were

[pcw1010]

wow seriously those ar the worst looking buildings and there was like no building in the fort either

But out of the videos ive seen your pretty good

[Tyranpo]

If you had broken their wall, why bother to climb up? I would've focused on the breach and had artillary shoot at the part of the wall where the enemy was clumped on.

[boredom224]

wow thats all i gotta say...

[Shocked0]

This took ages because you didn;t use big enough cannons, or not enough,.

[EnDSchultz1]

I think I hear a very faint Wilhelm Scream at 4.26

/nerdy

[DSPdave1987]

noob

[korrdxl]

If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much.

[Saphiregun]

lol nice quote

[KillerJas1]

better than "Another one bites the Dutch" :P

[dreosV]

the dutch aint the germays you now

[KillerJas1]

What?! Ifcourse I know that germany is not Dutch! r u stupid?

[xc1026]

That building looks like it was created using Rome Total War's graphics... maybe worst....

[johanoh]

you suck, turn in your game at once

[msabeiha]

I agree at first you were looking pretty good but now i dont know what worse, the design of the fort or the way you took it over

[Leon9010]

Can any of those cannons on the walls fire? They loom usable but no bugger shot one of them, unless your opponent had no idea what he was doing?

[Vargnarsh]

lulz the graphics are turned down way way low and i saw you barely used ur calvary or used that hole you nocked in their wall

[MaartenSchild]

I like the fact that the dutch are in this great game, and they speak crappy dutch so that's awesome! =]

GG btw

[lolzobot]

I also like how they're a major faction, but I'm pretty dissapointed that they have no special units like other factions. In AOE 3 they had Nassau Haliberders, they could have had that here.

[arcsquad12]

that base is UGLY! Theres only maybe four buildings in it that look like they've been glued there, doesn't look realistic at all. I don't like how big the bases and cities are, makes the battles in them feel insignificant, especially on the larger cities

[khead99]

you have age of empires 3 me to I have the entire series except the asian dynasties expansion rock on aoe

[lolzobot]

I had AOE 1 and 2 and all the expansions, but I lost them. I still have AOE 3 but no expansions.

[khead99]

its a good series though lots of historical content but #1 was kinda gay with almost every unit lookin the samne and stuff

[msabeiha]

I cant stand AOE that was the first PC game i ever played and now im addicted i cant get enough

[msabeiha]

I love the 1v1 duels going on during the infantry skirmishes

[dtr76]

OK I just watched another video, seems like there are some redoubts with proper design in the game

[dtr76]

Looks like fortifications are totally inaccurate in this game :(

Fortification was great science in the 18th century, and these linear, high walls were definitely passe! !

Crapola, oh well, one game weakness.

[kamikaziu]

these are not european fortifications what you see here

[slayerfromabove]

omg, the fact that the dutch speak dutch is bad enough, but the Limburg accent!

[alexwm22]

was the drummer fighting with his drum stick!

[x00001]

This was a good battle but if i was defending i would have stationed my troops around those four buildings near the wall you where storming they look like a good defence postion.

[gweavory]

Anybody got any idea why i can't seem to play online after the patch, it says i have a different game version to the host when i try to play and each game is in red text. Please help.

[venom0715]

how low did you put the video settings? no animation in the skies nor the troops and no shadows. it looks like a beta. but still don't blame cause the game runs really smoother... cheers :D

[Jedwin001]

cool

[BloodBath34]

Nice vid keep em comeing

[Letterman0412]

i live in the US but i cant deside if i will play as my country or great britten. Britten looks awsome in this game.

[deathwishplzomg]

there all good France had the best army in this time period anyway

[Letterman0412]

i don't know them and great britten fought it out a lot and britten always came out on top.

[deathwishplzomg]

no they not always come out on top the only thing that saved Britain is its navy.

France had the most powerful army in this time period look it up the grande armèè was the most feared in europe.

britan came out on top most of the time because they either waited for someone else to do all the dirty work and they cleaned up the mess or they sign ind a peace treaty with fair terms.

what made Britain a powerful contary was not its army but its navy.

[Letterman0412]

ill look that up but they didnt take over all that land with ships and france also had a amazingly good navy.

[deryni21]

haha no siege towers/ladders = 40 minute siege

[DLLDHSBB]

this game does work on vista right?

[obbabob]

demo works on vista ultimate.

[Jcsumner777]

looks like you have more freedom on the wall than in rome total war

[cheesedie]

best idea for entertainment is just lay seige and wait for them to sally forth :P

[manwithbananaphone]

i think its cool how they throw those hooks

on the wall, it would be cooler if they could shoot the enemy off the wall

[HamHatter]

Wow. Graphics look pretty poor on this battle. :o

[GaiaRuler]

This game is just great! I've ordered it through eBay. Wohooo I wanna play it!!!

5* for this video. :)

[savishimon]

For what graphick settings are you playing?

[wierdwesterner]

If you want to get in quicker aim your cannon at the doors...not the walls.

[Darthpathfinder]

It also helps to have more firepower as well...say around four sets of cannons :).

[wierdwesterner]

that's very true!

[BCFCBritain]

yoeeb could you do a naval battle chears

[PodoleGorowa]

spoko

[underground94teo]

Indeed, It's not very entertaining. Land battles are the best.

[Royal1297]

"A very long time later"

LOL! XD

[SUPERcheekykiwi1]

admittedly not as exciting as the land battles are you planning on playing any naval battles?

[jewkillergunterjk]

its good to see you play on the side of the dutch :P

[zwillyc]

The drummer got pwned at 2:17, LOL
