Hey~

Thanks for the info. Also, sorry if you construed my post as misinformed. I don't watch anime very often.

Also TTGL has a good dub. I think the Japanese sounds way more hot blooded but the English one is enjoyable. I watched it dubbed first so I just stick with that.

Anything with Yuri Lowenthal in it gets me off.

That mans voice is orgasmic to me. He delivers every role he gets cast in.

Kyle Hebert too. Can't believe I didn't realize it was Gohan for the longest time.

This is objectively false.

There are a lot of times when the dub sounds better than the sub.

Examples?

Doesn't Big Boss do the descriptions?

He did a couple and I still consult him but I've done the majority of them.

From its heartland in central England, Mercia extends its reach to every corner of the island. As the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the Mercians dominate the land south of the River Humber.

In the late 6th century AD, the five English shires of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire were united under a single leader, giving rise to the Kingdom of Mercia. Creoda of the Iclingas is most often cited as the first Mercian ruler and the founder of its capital at Tamworth. Yet opinion on the issue is divided; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle does not refer to him as a king and some scholars question if he was nothing more than the product of a monk's fevered imaginings!

Nevertheless, it is the Iclingas dynasty, beginning officially with the reign of Penda in approximately AD625, that has given rise to a period of untold stability. Although their line has been plagued by assassinations, betrayals and deaths in battle, the Iclingas have been able to expand Mercian borders to encompass most of the midlands and the south of England too.

In AD757, Offa became king, following a civil war in the wake of King Aethelbald's murder. Consolidating his midland provinces, he looks upon the southern kingdoms avariciously, desiring to bring them under Mercian control. Respected by the Franks across the channel, and rightly feared by Englishmen everywhere, Mercia is poised to become the single greatest power in the British Isles - a single, united kingdom under the rule of a mighty king!

"The Anglo-Saxon lands fall, submissive to your rule - the Mercian Kingdom dominates. Yet the island is not yet fully conquered...

To the southeast, Wssex lingers - weak but undefeated - and to the west the pernicious Welsh remain a thorn.

Subjugating both will secure your borders, yet Northumbria poses your greatest thread. It threatens to overthrow the Picts and become a powerful enemy - the only answer is its absorption into your own realm.

Across the waves, Ireland offers promising territory but should be approached with caution - its people are unruly and more than a little dangerous.

And to the east, vicious men seeking blood and plunder cast voracious eyes upon your shores - be ever vigilant of the Viking Danes.

Despite these challenges, control of the isles shall be yours - take up your sword and make Mercia great!"

Let's take a look at my starting territory

Spoiler

To the North is my biggest concern, Northumbria. They're easily the one that rivals me in strength and territory, but we don't want to attack them both at once. For you see, I start this game at war with two factions to my West in Wales. So let's make sure our borders are protected.

Spoiler

I managed to get a Non-Aggression pack with Northumbria and Wessex secured, and the province to the South-East of Wessex is my puppet state. I gave them a few gifts of gold to get on my good side, lest they revolt (and they can) and give me 3 wars. I was even more lucky a few turns later for Northumbria to ask for a trade route and offer 200 gold for it too. Seems they need some money.

And lastly, I forged a Non-Aggression pack with Charlemagne, the most important deal in the long run. You see, with him, he is the most powerful faction starting off and only a channel away from my borders, so I don't want to upset him. The other reason, is if you take a look at his traits, you can see 2 important things. Loyal, and Admires strong empires.

Non-Aggression is the first way to forging alliances, which can open you up to trade agreements, and military access/pact. Now once I unite England, and eventually the English Isles, I will be a very powerful Kingdom. Since he likes that, it will get on my good side even more, so if I can have #1 on my side, I think I'm pretty much set.

Now that that's done, let's do some research

Spoiler

As you can see here, you can either research into the Military tree, or Civic tree. Basically, one is for how your units perform on the field/off the field, where as Civic helps you with public order, research rate, and buildings for your cities. Buildings can unlock many a thing, from spies, to additional, and more powerful units. Still, our goal here is to try and unite England before the Norsemen pop over, so let's focus on Military for now.

Spoiler

INSTANTLY I am at the advantage. They are making the charge towards me, and just look at the terrain.



and therefore, I already have a massive advantage before our forces even begin to attack.




As you can see, they're attacking uphill, so that instantly gives my men the advantage. It wasn't long before their first units broke while my archers pelted the forces from behind. My cavalry quickly swarmed them and they broke. First skirmish belongs to Luci.



That was the story of the day it seemed though. Beating the enemy back, flanking them, and then overwhelming them. Naturally, I won.

I pursued down his remaining forces in the snow and once more, overwhelmed a beaten and broken faction.





Rip.

Spoiler

As you can see, our forces are on even ground this time, however they are outnumbered more than 500 people.



Chaaaaaaaaaarge




My enemy forces began to engage. Sadly I was STUPID here and completely forgot one of my cavalry, so they died to spears rather quick. Still, They all funneled in the middle, so once more, I was able to slowly flank around to their sides.




It eventually led to all the men throwing down their weapons and running. Basically how my battles have gone so far can be summarized in this video.

I love how the Republican party thinks the only problem facing this country is terrorism and healthcare. These people are idiots. They never talk about education, infrastructure (I swear Trump is the only one who mentioned that), and various other things.

God I hope none of these backwards people win. People who think the "good ole days" is a relevant thing are idiots.

Trump makes a point at every rally to say something along the lines of "I'm ending common core"

That's what the voting base considers the most important issues.
