I love how they named Tesla's troops with Croatian names, like the healing robot "Sluga" meaning "Servant", medium mech "Čuvar" is "Guard", the Dishonored-like striders "Šetač" are "Walker". It's the little details.
@@KillerOrca Now that question is debateable. Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan in 1856. Then it was part of the Austro-Hungary, today it's in Croatia. Wikipedia says his ethnicity was Serbian. Being such a genius and having big influence in research on electricity, having him associated with your country is very prestigious. Because of that Serbs and Croats have heated debates on to whom Tesla "belongs". I believe he is Croatian because I am Croatian and my whole life I was told that he is Croatian. Blame it on patriotism.
@@fruty3003 It works for me honestly. Either way it makes complete sense for him to name his units in his probably original language, right? Every other unit in the games named in the tongue of its creator.
@@fruty3003 Still better than somehow people thinking he was Italian for some fucking reason... XD Though yeah, the fact that all units use the respective language is bloody brilliant, as the fact that you CAN make every single one of them use their own respective language in both the game and cutscenes ( if a bit weird when you hear a Saxonian speak german while on the other side a Rusviet speaks russian, and they don't even blink ). Also.. I think Tesla here ALWAYS speaks english. Maybe to avoid contention on this part?
@Drazar Kabalblade Where the hell did they get "Italian"?! Lol, and I thought describing him as "Siberian" was silly, but this is even more so. I agree, having those small details like native unit names, which also describe their general role in their language, adds a surprising amount of immersion, especially in an RTS where there are many factions each with a distinct speaking language.

@Aspiring Marauder Wow, I didn't know this was possible. Thank you. Altough it's weird that they all talk in their native language, meaning: Zubov talking russian to Tesla while he talks in english, and Janek suddenly speaks fluent russian.

Going off who is mentioned here in the Guest mission, Iron Harvest has: -Albion (Britain/Scotland, who were in the Scythe Board Game and have bagpipe inspired mechs. Hero is a Scot with a Boar) -Nordic (Scandinavia, who were in Scythe and had longship inspired mechs. Hero is a Viking with an Ox) -Togawa (Japan, also Scythe, but not much is known about them save for some Samurai/Ninja type brother-sister heroes) -Franks (France, and they seem to have fought in the Great War) -Italians -Americans (seems they had a recent war with Mexico and Canada, and still has major tensions after the Civil War) -Arabia (Ottomans?) -Mexico -Canada? ("Land up north.")
don't forget the Crimean khanate (one of the factions in scythe) presumably because they weren't here at the conference they were neutral in the great war.
I love how they all get their own new-ish names, and then there’s the Italians and Mexicans... Poor guys. They could’ve at least called them the Tuscans and Olmecs or smg like that
@@alanwestmoreland6152 If this is going to be similar to real world, then at this time the Chinese really were trying to court Western allies, including sending workers to fight for the allies in WW1, with the hope to get back some international respect. This is also around the time of the Chinese civil war/warlord era, so we should see the KMT trying to find some funding or weapon sellers to help them take control during this time help them conquer the warlords after the Ching fell. However, as the Tokugawa are still around, there is more than a decent chance that Hideyoshi successfully conquered Korea in this timeline and the Tokugawa after him used that to conquer china leading to a 1700s Japan taking over and no more China government.
Ra Ra Rasputin Leader of the Fenris team There was a mech that really was gone Ra Ra Rasputin Rusviet's greatest coup machine It was a shame how he carried on
I mean it's not exactly like others are framed as being bad, just as tools and pawns. in the end the good guys are the governments and the insurgents (of any kind) are the bad ones
Only some, Saxony campaing shows the other side of the coin. It's more of an accurate situation of what kinda was going on in Europe before the WWI: too many people started actually thinking that war was glorious and a good thing ( outright calling it a cleaning procedure ), a lot of rich people in heavy industry smelled a fuckton of money investing in guns, all states had to try and deal with political pushes from the inside and no one, _absolutely no one_ knew how absolutely powerfull and lethal were now the guns. The concept of such massive mobilitation was new after all. The game mostly gives a contex of "it was all prepared from the start" with Fenris rather than "a bloody bad sequence of events, stupid ideas, even stupid ideologies". Though I _can_ smell a bit of bias, but it's not one-sided... too much one sided at least. ( still better than using the sign of a protest group in real life for a terrorist organization like fenris in a game.. )
@ I have not played either this game or the board game its based off of, but to me, it seems less like Fenris engineered the rebellions and more just took advantage of them; kinda like the Bolsheviks in the real world. they were a minority in the Russian left at the start of the Russian revolution but after the first revolution they used catchy slogans and pointing out the stuff that the new government was messing up to continue to rile up the people so that they would chase out the very people they had just put in power and allowed Lenin to gain control of the government.
@@floricel_112 the biggest problem with those dogs, and thus the reason they didn't become a thing, was that they were trained to run at tanks on the T-34 and therefore would run at Soviet tanks. This problem has been solved by making the dogs mechs.

I like how good russian sounds in this game(given that I'm native russian speaker), but GODS I hate when someone says in english TzariNA, it's TzarITZA! Get it right, dammit! Also, I think Rasputin's voiced by pretty famous VA Pjotr Glants(at least in Russia), but not too sure about that tho
Honestly, I didn't know Tzaritza was a thing! I've always seen or heard Tzarina or on rare occasions Tsarina. A visual translation issue, perhaps? does the character that gives it the ITZ sound look like an N?
That party with all the people from around the world chatting is awesome. I love lore so much. It was also interesting seeing them slowly and subconsciously adopting fascism. Like seeing it rise in popularity is both terrifying and fascinating.
Also the little hints at how Fenris is going to play on their worst social trends. The nobility in all of Europa angry at the growing power of the middle class, industrialists, and trade unionists, Franks and Italy angry at losing territory to Saxony, Saxony didn't think they got enough territory and doing the "stab in the back" myth, also apparently dealing with Arab insurgents in their colonies in the area; American imperial ambitions towards Mexico and OTL Canada as well as a possible Second Civil War and the country infested with greedy war profiteers (*whispers* just like real life) that can be easily swayed to join Fenris, and Togawa getting imperialistic ideas like OTL Japan.
So what kind of weapons should we give to the Saxonian Power Armor troopers. A mortar! Good good and what else like some machinegun or other long-range wea... And a battering ram!
They're for infantry fire support and mêlée combat against mechs. So I think that fits them. Although I would like to see variants of the Eisenhans wielding MGs or have their mortars replaced by Pom-Poms.

@@darykeng bit of both really. Things were going well for more people than usual in the belle epoque, especially in the Central Powers of Europe ( so France, Germany and so on. England too of course. )
The interesting thing about the campaign is that it doesn’t take a stance on government types as good or bad, it shows how people in positions of power can change the world for better or for worse. Polania is a republic, but that doesn’t stop Lech Kos from being a disgruntled warrior who doesn’t know when to cut his losses, and who is so driven by his idea of how things should be he’s willing to get innocent people murdered for it. Rusviet is a Despotic empire, but Tzar Nicholas doesn’t abuse that power, if anything he’s too indecisive, and that self-doubt and second guessing allowed Rasputin to ingratiate himself and run things from behind the scenes. Saxony is a Constitutional Monarchy with a long history of imperialism and warmongering, but Gunter and Kaiser Wilhelm have seen the horrors of modern war and are filled with regret, willing to put their lives on the line to prevent it from happening again. It’s only the short sighted and inexperienced who bring about the Nation’s hard times.
@@elgenerico5453 Yeah but what I was getting at is that Changa is a Siberian Tiger, so it's not all that unrealistic for Olega to have a Tiger. ...If you just wanted to make a Joke and it once more went completely over my Head, feel free to r/wooooosh me.

It's not really a big secret that Rimmy is a weeb. Should have known that after he did Valkyria Chronicles. Especially so after he did the You and Me and Her series.
Excellent work, and I quite enjoy these videos. I might even pick up this game at some point. One thing I would recommend though if you do decide to play more of this is that you try to shorten down the cutscenes further. While they are great and enjoyable, they seemed to be more than half of the video.
17:06 "Isengrim" The Fable name of the Wolf. Name means Iron growl 17:11 "Stiefmutter" the german word for a Stepmother. Quiet on point on how a stepmother is often viewed in fairytails, sending out her stepchildren to die.. 17:21 "Erlkönig" Based on the poem from Goethe, where a Father is riding home through a dark and cold night with his sick son, his son is having feather dreams, seeing the Erlkönig, an elven king grabing for him, touching him and trying to ripp and lure him out of his fathers grasp... as the father ruines the horse to get home in time, he arrives and his son is dead. 18:48 "Eisenhans" Is a fairytail where a Man is living on the bottom of a swamp, pulling everyone down who dares to come close to it. His skin is thick and brown, looking just like iron, which is where he gets his Nickname from "Iron Hans"
@Rimmy - Downunder Gaming while we don't know the full name of nations, we do have full names of england and japan, those being the clans of albion and the togawa shogunate, the marauders in arabia could also be a reference to the crimean khanate which are in the tabletop game
YO RIMMY the main character of albion is a guy with a boar, the nordic kingdoms is a man riding an ox, and for the shogun, a girl with a monkey, and for a race idk a girl with an eagle
@@SpaceKnight105 They are a faction in Scythe, located where they border the Caucasus Mountains alongside Rusviet. Essentially, like IRL Crimean Khanate, but survived up to the 20th Century.
I love how Kaiser Frederick is Kaiser in this game and Kaiser Wilhelm II is still Prince Wilhelm, in real life Kaiser Frederick was Kaiser Wilhelm’s father
Great video, the game so far seems very funny to me, I hope they also do a miniatures game with rules like warhammer 40k or Bolt Action. The setting is beautiful and even being able to paint a few models would be a lot of fun
So basically that stryder (šetač) means walker while that bigger mech (čuvar) means guard the mechs that can do the repairing and stuff (sluga) means servant
First we had redhead Polish sniper gf... then Janek got his tall blonde Russian gf... but now, now, we have GUNTER!!!

*Stand User:* Eisenhans *Stand:* Rammstein - devastating enemies from long range with explosive attacks and sending out pulsing shockwaves. *Special move:* Du Hast Deathgrip
*5 Minutes after released* Me: *So anyway I started blasting.*
What I want to see now is an epic crossover between 1920+ and Kaiserreich - the two could mesh together flawlessly!
5:11 I love how this reminds me of the “Awakened” just need less blue and more of a bloody red glow.
Well, part about "monarchy is a good guys" - depends? They have club of their own which actively tryed to counter democratic movements (like France)
yes because they didn't want a repeat of the reign of terror in there country
@@artski09 terror or own authority and literally elite lifestyle?
@@darykeng bit of both really. Things were going well for more people than usual in the belle epoque, especially in the Central Powers of Europe ( so France, Germany and so on. England too of course. )
Viva la revolucion
The interesting thing about the campaign is that it doesn’t take a stance on government types as good or bad, it shows how people in positions of power can change the world for better or for worse.
Polania is a republic, but that doesn’t stop Lech Kos from being a disgruntled warrior who doesn’t know when to cut his losses, and who is so driven by his idea of how things should be he’s willing to get innocent people murdered for it.
Rusviet is a Despotic empire, but Tzar Nicholas doesn’t abuse that power, if anything he’s too indecisive, and that self-doubt and second guessing allowed Rasputin to ingratiate himself and run things from behind the scenes.
Saxony is a Constitutional Monarchy with a long history of imperialism and warmongering, but Gunter and Kaiser Wilhelm have seen the horrors of modern war and are filled with regret, willing to put their lives on the line to prevent it from happening again. It’s only the short sighted and inexperienced who bring about the Nation’s hard times.
I like how the three campaigns flow into one another.
"The mines have legs, that's fucking adorable!"
Terrifying. I think the word you were going for, was terrifying.
No, he meant adorifying. (Portmanteau of adorable and terrifying if you couldn't tell)
I am a simple man. I see rimmy, I click.
Ferris are the long nose tribe, also ride the tiger based pols
Me: zooms to the nearest Rimmy vid
Also me: freaks out about tallboy cosplayers on a battlefield.
Craziest thing about Rasputin is the fact he's voiced by Pyotr Glanz, a real and famous Russian actor. A very nice touch, IMO.
0:36 the developers pranked us ! for goodness sake !
The little mine running up and punting that stilt soldier into the air at 3:25 was oddly cute and funny.
Yes! More entertainment to view! Good video Rimmy!
Janek and Olga are like two tsunderes flirting with each other.
It’s crazy how this game alines with our history so many pointers to event’s in the past
DAMN i will be sitting on my heels to see the saxonians
Mech: gets stuck
Also Mech: Stievmutter what are you doing?
Gunter is officially rad as hell, double wolves.
“Smells like Vietnam”
You have earned an achievement-War Crimes-
Where's the bear? There was supposed to be a Russian-Shattering bear!
Polanians took it, so only tiger left
Dont you know? The famous Russian tiger, it only habitats enclosed, public spaces commonly referred go as a zoo.
@@elgenerico5453 Well, I mean, there IS the Siberian Tiger...
@@alexandersturnn4530 No no no, The *Russian* tiger is much more known
@@elgenerico5453 Yeah but what I was getting at is that Changa is a Siberian Tiger, so it's not all that unrealistic for Olega to have a Tiger.
...If you just wanted to make a Joke and it once more went completely over my Head, feel free to r/wooooosh me.
Nobody
Mech that can mele in iron harvest
Rimmy: Im goona do whats called a warhammer move
Only 3 tho: Zubov, Serp and Smialy
honestly id rather have never been born just so nicola could have this bizzare future in the limelight
You beat Tesla's factory on the old version. Respect man. I had been stuck on it for an ungodly amount of time (I'm not very good at RTS games)
Yeah. Or spawn Nakovalna with Gulay-gorod or cheese with Yaneck
If i´m not mistaken, the voiceactor of Gunther also does the german voice for Mr. Krabs
as someone who's vacationed on the Black Sea coast several times....depends on the country. In Bulgaria, heck yeah. In Romania....stay the freak away unless you want to swin through algae....lots of algae
Oh yes the bridge. I had like 7 super heavy mechs on that bridge at one point.
Inside you, there are two wolves. One is Saxonian. The other is Saxonian. You are Gunter von Duisburg.
Bruh I was just talking about this in the last video about all the factions they could add and there all in one mission talking to each other, Amazing!
I saw you comment on that vtuber music video don’t try to hide it
Link pls
What wat
@@puenboy1 it's a song put out by one of the new Hololive English Vtubers, last I checked Rimmy had the top comment (at the very least he's probably near the top): th-cam.com/video/5y3xh8gs24c/w-d-xo.html
It's not really a big secret that Rimmy is a weeb. Should have known that after he did Valkyria Chronicles. Especially so after he did the You and Me and Her series.
Literally go look at the second channel ya fools
18:06 the second I saw that I knew Rimmy would laugh
The best part are Voice Acting. The Rasputin VA is my favorite Russian dubber of so many roles, and him talking English is so good
And Rimmy, you got lucky to have had the fixed mech spawn at the end!
This game has an amazing storyline
Stiefmutter means Mother in law
Stepmother, actually.
Mother-in-law is Schwiegermutter.
The part where Olga says baka she is actually saying poka, pronounced paka, which is eqiuvelent to saying bye.
IN THE NAME OF THE TSAR!
Excellent work, and I quite enjoy these videos. I might even pick up this game at some point.
One thing I would recommend though if you do decide to play more of this is that you try to shorten down the cutscenes further.
While they are great and enjoyable, they seemed to be more than half of the video.
"War of '05" - The Rusviet-Togawan War
Saxonian campaign is my fave. I love Gunther so much
17:06 "Isengrim" The Fable name of the Wolf. Name means Iron growl
17:11 "Stiefmutter" the german word for a Stepmother. Quiet on point on how a stepmother is often viewed in fairytails, sending out her stepchildren to die..
17:21 "Erlkönig" Based on the poem from Goethe, where a Father is riding home through a dark and cold night with his sick son, his son is having feather dreams, seeing the Erlkönig, an elven king grabing for him, touching him and trying to ripp and lure him out of his fathers grasp... as the father ruines the horse to get home in time, he arrives and his son is dead.
18:48 "Eisenhans" Is a fairytail where a Man is living on the bottom of a swamp, pulling everyone down who dares to come close to it. His skin is thick and brown, looking just like iron, which is where he gets his Nickname from "Iron Hans"
The Brunhilde is just the Bismarck on legs.
@Rimmy - Downunder Gaming while we don't know the full name of nations, we do have full names of england and japan, those being the clans of albion and the togawa shogunate, the marauders in arabia could also be a reference to the crimean khanate which are in the tabletop game
Weird why Saxon mentioned then and not Rusvet, which deals with them on regular basics
@@darykeng dlc my dude
@23:22 steinmetz last words translate to "Good luck for the future" HAHAHAHAH
YO RIMMY the main character of albion is a guy with a boar, the nordic kingdoms is a man riding an ox, and for the shogun, a girl with a monkey, and for a race idk a girl with an eagle
The last girl is from the Crimean Khanate, Princess Zehra and her eagle.
H4d3s2017 0t4n1z3r Crimean Khanate who is that?
@@SpaceKnight105 They are a faction in Scythe, located where they border the Caucasus Mountains alongside Rusviet.
Essentially, like IRL Crimean Khanate, but survived up to the 20th Century.
H4d3s2017 0t4n1z3r so they live next to the ottoman empire
@@SpaceKnight105 Yes. They're near the Ottoman Empire.
"communist sandbags"
That's a shirt and a half.
The tall doods in dishonored are called Tallboys.
We swore to Nikolai that we wouldn’t be taken alive
by the way, his last words of 'Leben Sie Wohl' means 'Good luck to the future' in german
The plot reminds me alot of RA1,
With Fenris as Nod and all, anyone?
Those Striders do be looking thicc now. And that was a good whistle.
I love how Kaiser Frederick is Kaiser in this game and Kaiser Wilhelm II is still Prince Wilhelm, in real life Kaiser Frederick was Kaiser Wilhelm’s father
Lol i just love that everyone in this game has a large predatory animal as a sidekick
Oh thank god, love this series
Olga: BAKA!
Rimmy: I'm sorry, did you just say baka!
Janek: Makes sense.
Great video, the game so far seems very funny to me, I hope they also do a miniatures game with rules like warhammer 40k or Bolt Action.
The setting is beautiful and even being able to paint a few models would be a lot of fun
So basically that stryder (šetač) means walker while that bigger mech (čuvar) means guard the mechs that can do the repairing and stuff (sluga) means servant
"Wow these guys are coevered in grenades"
Average Stoßtruppen
RIDE THE TIGER
YOU CAN SEE HIS STRIPES BUT YOU KNOW HE'S CLEAN
