End of the Holy Roman Empire Saga Part 1 [1/3]

Welcome to Part 1 of the closer for TheDougem's short lived HRE Saga!

After realizing that the AI sucks in vanilla Medieval 2, TheDougem has installed Stainless Steel + RR/RC 6.2 mod, and loved it. The HRE Saga will be rebooted with this mod, but beforehands an epic suicide was in order.

The Plan:
Attack the mega pope army, consolidate the entirety of the Northern Imperial army into the castle Bern, and the Southern Imperial Army into the mountainpass north of Italy. Last as long as possible.

Unfortunately, said epic suicide failed epicly because of incredibly poor AI. The following is the first cut of a 2.5 hour block of in game time where I attempt to piss off the AI a bit foolishly and then intelligently defend myself. The results speak for themselves.

Not a glitch, you just ran out of movepoints directly infront of his castle. xD

[TheDougem]

@TheSarenarass Observe 6:38 in the video - there's a red square right next to the castle, implying I have enough movement points to lay siege on the same turn. I suppose punting the enemy princess out of that square expended that movement point, keeping me from laying siege :P This has happened a lot to me in vanilla Medieval two - Red combat squares, but they suddenly vanish when I get closer to the city.

LOL,ROFL,LOLMAO when u send the dimplot to France!!! Hahahaha! Great video dude!

[Cunobelinus54]

Great vids, what recording equipment do you use?

[Modusoperandicod4]

thats the one thing i mis from the older total war games was map information, i was disappointed they didn't have that in ETW

[LucanJacups]

Oh also, just a recommendation: if the AI in the Stainless Steel is still not a challenge enough for you, just use Ultimate AI. I'd imagine both of their AIs are on fairly equal levels though.
