A OtherRealm Productions - Duchy of Athens (Tsardoms)

**Fahnat** · August 28, 2020, 07:37 PM

The Duchy of Athens AAR video Series is made with the mod Tsardoms: Total War

I try to bring to every episode a feel of a Roleplay campaign, where the faction's background and generals shape the decisions of the faction. This is made with a Narrator that covers up the events of the campaign in a dramatic tone, while the characters interact with each other on ocasion. This story, in particular, is about the Catalan Company and their struggles to secure the Duchy of Athens, and beyond. Not all that happens each turn is showned. Much of what goes on, and sometimes full turns, is taken in order to make a cleaner and polished series.

The mod used is the Tsardoms mod, made by Wallachian and his team, it is not 100% completed, but ready to play with the faction i chose.
I liked to thank the team for allowing me access for this mod so that i could make this series before it's launch, so you can think of it as a preview.

Episode 1 - The Catalan Company

Episode 2 - The Black Death

Episode 3 - Breach in Word

Episode 4 - Death of the Archbishop

Episode 5 - Siege of Lepanto

Episode 6 - A Divided Company

Plague and excommunication sounds like significant problems, at least it seems that the alliance with Venice is already useful, despite the internal tensions in Sicily which it caused. Good episode!

Roger looks like a bold commander, perhaps even a reckless one! Fortunately, the main army of Athens seems to be wisely led. Good update!

Interesting, i feel otherwise.
I tought them betraying Venice and taking Negroponte being more dishonorable.
Altough prudent to follow papal orders, but i felt bad for the Venitians.
At least Roger, altough disobedient and ambitious, was continuing the old policy.

Good episode, this demonstrates well the unpedictable twists and confusion which can occur in battle.

Those bombards at Lepanto look very useful, but the city seems to be strongly defended.

A fine ending! I particularly like the build-up to the battle, as you show the various units on the march. The charge of the knights against the Serbian general is a good moment too.
