Thanks! Spain is super hard. Doesn’t have any of the good units of other barbarian factions (archers, chosen archer warband, chosen swordsmen) so it’s a fun challenge
Are you fully committed to full map completion? I know from other Total War TH-camrs that full map campaigns can be a bit of a grind, partly due to time, and partly because once you reach a certain critical mass you're basically unstoppable. Apparently viewing numbers really drop off. If you were doing an isolated campaign, I'd say go for it. But given you're committed to doing other campaigns, with different factions, there might be an argument for completing this campaign at 50 regions, or knocking the Brutii out or whatever. Viewers won't miss out on the factions you haven't encountered yet because they'll be covered in other campaigns, like your Dacia one. Completely up to you. You've basically completed the initial challenge, which was to win the long campaign as poor little Spain. I don't think anyone would hold it against you if you decided to switch to a new challenge. BTW that was nicely done at Athens. Guessing the correct gate to guard really paid off.
Either way, I will play it to the end. As long as people are enjoying the campaign and watching along, I will continue posting the world conquest, but I have no problem with cutting out micromanaging, only giving summaries of what's happening each turn, etc so I can get to a next campaign faster. I also am ready for a new challenge. If viewing numbers drop off dramatically, I'll fast track it and start a new campaign, but I do think it's a good precedent that if we start a campaign together, I'll give it a satisfying completion. Luckily, as you said, I've conquered the whole western half of the world and the Dacia campaign will conquer the whole east of the world, so it's not like we'll be going a year without ever fighting the Egyptians or something. I feel like the late game of Spain is one of the grindier ones since they have literally no access to late game interesting units. It's just long shield cavalry spam once you beat the Romans. Even now, like at Athens, it's more about towers and siege towers than the Spanish units.
@@tdsniper215 Yeah, I think that last part re. Spain in particular is a key issue. Some of the smaller barbarian factions have some a limited tech tree and unit rosters that you're already maxed out fairly early in the campaign. Dacia's kinda the same actually, albeit they have slightly more variety. Ditto Thrace and even Gaul to an extent. With Spain it's always just going to be Bull warriors and long shield cav once you have the eco. With the Romans, I guess at least you have first the Marian reforms and then the civil war to spice up a very long campaign. And a few of the Eastern factions have more interesting long campaigns, both because of unit variety, and then because they have to fight a mix of eastern cavalry, then Hellenic, and finally Roman factions, which make for different challenges. It's all good though, you should do what you feel like doing. If you feel burned out at a particular point on any one campaign however, I doubt anyone would hold it against you didn't feel like marching all the way to Campus Sakae, haha.

Never played with Spain. Half the map with a barbarian people is great I think.
