- Part 2 of likely 3 or 4 videos, we continue Last Train Home, now headed south on the split in the railroad. Our train will be upgraded, our stockpiles will grow, and all the while Langer will weep about how all is lost and I will be continually restrained from giving him the Tsar's Mercy.

Langer: Are you stupid? We're soldiers in a foreign country, we can't be neutral and negotiate!
Also Langer: This wasn't a victory. We weren't neutral enough.
I think Langer is simply saying that all you've managed to do is keep moving forwards. You haven't stopped the reds, just stopped them from stopping you.
@@cameronmcallister7606 Which is still a victory, Langer is a defeatist and an idiot.
Honestly, I even be mad at Langer for the sheer hypocrisy he's spewing alright. Might as well leave the train at all.
This wasn't a victory, it was just survival.
@@MrLego3160is every second one lives not a victory over death? Every joyous moment a push against depression? One should celebrate success whenever they can
Langer: "This wasn't a victory, it was just survival"
Conditions for victory:
1. Survival
Phyric victory
Objective updated survive
I see this as an absolute win!
The dude that fell head first into a furnace isnt at least that unbelievable. There was an incident where two legionnaires went swimming and were eaten by a shark :D
I’m sorry they got eaten by a shark? HOW?, Where? Were they already in Vladivostok or does Russia have lake sharks?
@@Beanie28 After some searching, all I could find was one guy who fell overboard on the boat trip home, nothing about two guys going swimming.
@@Beanie28 Also, one shark eating two legionaires? Even great white sharks mostly just take a nibble of you.
Imagine going through the biggest war in human history, having the nation you were sent to help go through a revolution, get caught up in their civil war, journeying across an entire continent of ice and snow, finally reaching the boat that will take you to your homeland after years of war and just before leaving you and your buddy decide to take a small swim and get eaten by a shark. At least you'd know that the country you fought for became recognized as its own nation thanks to you.
@@Beanie28 I personally think it happened outside of Russia, because there were 3 ways for legionnaries from Russia to home, one went south, one went through North America and one went through Panama canal. I've got this information from a member of so called Legiontrain (which is the train you see in the Cutscenes, it travels through the Czech Republic and sometimes even Slovak Republic, it is a museum on wheels and you can visit it) on a podcast about LTH. He briefly mentioned that they have documented events when two of the legionnaries were attacked and killed by a shark. Not certain if both at once or each at their own, that was a bad writing on my part.
That one red army officer who tried to be nice by giving out drink... 💀
I wonder if you would have been able to see the dead tzar or try to save him if you went north, because Yetakerinburg is where the tzar and his family were held before they were killed because the czech legion and the whites were advancing on the town.
You can do a mission where you go to try and rescue the Tzar's family, but they are already gone by the time you get to the city.
@@boatboy8617NOOOO! Dammit. Well I suppose that's fair, this isn't a game that goes into althistory, but dammit that would have been so cool to at least smuggle one of the children out to safety.
@@Archris17 A DLC where you take young Alexei under your wing and try and install him as the new Tsar from Vladivostok sounds kinda cool ngl.
**SPOILER**!!!!!!!!
In the second to Last chapter you get a Family on Board. Strange people, a woman, 5 kids and a man posing as Family but you discover that it is Just a Decoy. At the end, once you Bring Them to safety a Lot of your comrads think they are royal and related to the Zar. The children being the actual children of the Zar and the "mother and father" Just some servants that want to Bring the kids to safety (the oldest child also behaves Like a ... Royal and slaps His "father" for being dumb xD so yeah
It would be cool if you could save someone from the tsar family
There were some Romanov that survived the purge and fled to England, America, France, etc
If I remember correctly, one even tried to buy a island in Africa to rebuild his country there
The weird part is that I'm slowly realising that from game design PoV, this game is basically Mass Effect mixed with X-Com. Which is weird. But welcome.
also Frostpunk with the scarce resource management, the overmap with managing squads, and surviving the harsh cold
@@ham_the_spam4423 I'd argue that instead of Frostpunk those elements remind more of the 11bit game that preceded Frostpunk - This War Of Mine. Especially in realm of your actions affecting the others. Though so far the latter was seen to a limited degree. In TWOM you can cause your neighbours being executed by soldiers as retaliation for you killing any soldier on your scavenge runs. Idk if the events in this game lead anywhere and if there is any epilogue.
scarce? im playing on the highest difficulty and that shit isnt scarce at all if you know what ur doing lol@@ham_the_spam4423
@@ham_the_spam4423 Remembering the last stream* Yeah, "scarce" resource management.
Also Company of Heroes.
Yea, people working themselves to death like that is absolutely believable. Coworker of mine suffered a concussion last week because he pushed himself too hard and collapsed. He is extremely lucky that he didn't fall into his machine and that someone was nearby to help.
The thing is, his effect was tired. There's an effect called exhausted, one would assume exhausted would make someone fall head first into a furnace.
@@56bturn wasnt it tired and starving togother? Can 100% see that leading to passing out
@@StarCraftEssentials yeah , I passed out from Tired and Straving school before ( the bell doesn't dismiss you , I do Teacher almost killed me from keeping me and class from going to eat dinner )
Had to change my major because i pushed myself to hard and legit gave myself PTSD with math and debilitating migraines from stress and nearly ended up in the hospital when i tried to keep going anyways. turns out migraine auras can get bad enough to render you blind until they pass. the migraine that followed was so bad I had to crawl to leave my bed for the next 3 days. remember people, no job is worth dying over, and make sure to rest even if you're pursuing your dreams....
To be honest. Langers behaviour and the lack of options in some scenarios (like that opening the will is completly pointless overall) kinda gives me the feeling that the devs initially wanted to have a more open and player determined story in the game but droped that later for one reason or another. Like that following neutrality or picking a side was supposed to play a much bigger role both in story and gameplay.
It just feels like the game sometimes teases you with a diffrent option or path to take but then just completly shuts it down.
Yeah it honestly makes Captain langer into just someone who's annoying and makes you want to shoot him dead tbh. A real pity but that's usually what happens with player choice games eventually.
Perhaps the additional options will be added later? This is a demo after all. I hope the final game won’t be just this- I’d like the story to have more ambiguity with the morality of both sides and have incentives for the player in doing something that is morally wrong, but would help survival. It’d help elevate a great game even further, and add replayability aside from just going down a different path when the track splits.
no this is the full game though I like the story thus far@@Kaebuki
@@luisitobardajibenitez8013 Ah, I see. Well, that's slightly disappointing, but otherwise it looks to be a good game.
I can definitely imagine that they did want to add more options at one point, based on the options, but then either time or funds began to run low and forced them to focus their efforts on polishing what they did have. If so, it’s a shame, but so long as the quality of everything else remains high, it’ll hopefully be a minor hiccup.
38:30 "they cried in anger and despair"
Rimmy seeing the artillery car survived: "YYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
lmao imagine you're mourning your fallen friends and your CO runs up to the artillery car screaming "YEAAAAAH!!!" and cheering
@@literallynoone9705 -30 morale
The demo deadass as long as the new COD game
💀
But does it have missiles hmmm, counter that.
@@TheRomanianRegent doesn't make up for the rest of the lazy mess that was the glorified DLC made shiny.
@@TheRomanianRegent better, it has Trains.
@@tarektechmarine8209 Well I guess the train artillery is a type of missile so game of the year, hope Rimmy will do more videos on this.
I sense sarcasm in here, but I'm unsure...
Man, I dont remember "the boxcar children" being so violent in the books.
How The hell did they get an armored train car.

Certified Trotsky moment
Least backfired trotsky descision be like:
Least backfired trotsky descision be like:
Also a funni little """misrepresentation""" of history. From the russian civil war section of the Wikipedia article on the Czech legion,
"By May 1918, the Czechoslovak Legion was strung out along the Trans-Siberian Railway from Penza to Vladivostok. Their evacuation was proving much slower than expected due to dilapidated railway conditions, a shortage of locomotives and the recurring need to negotiate with local soviets along the route. On 14 May, a dispute at the Chelyabinsk station between legionaries heading east and Magyar POWs heading west to be repatriated caused the People's Commissar for War, Leon Trotsky, to order the complete disarmament and arrest of the legionaries. At an army congress that convened in Chelyabinsk a few days later, the Czechoslovaks - against the wishes of the National Council - refused to disarm and began issuing ultimatums for their passage to Vladivostok.[20] This incident sparked the Revolt of the Legions."
A truck has escaped, millions of Czechoslovaks must despair.
Rimmy - Put a tired exhausted man to work on a hazardous job
Also Rimmy - "It wasn't my fault that he die!"
Seeing you selling a bunch of metal made me winch but good thing that all of this happen in the demo.
About that buddy...
They’re giving us free beer!
Isn’t that a god thing?
We may have poisoned it…
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Pattern 14 rifle looks like a work of art compared to other rifles in WW1.
Probably a custom job for some officer as a hunting rifle or a snipers rifle, they tended to take care of their weapons more than regular soldiers did which is saying they treated really well, especially the scope which was usually sighted to the snipers preferences. Even today the best way to piss off a sniper in a army is to mess with their rifles scope.
@@pyorre2441Scopes were super rare in ww1 too…
I'm a simple man. I see rimmy post. I hit play as soon as I can
25:08 he passed out from exhaustion and just so happened to plummet face first into the fire box.
Finally more cool train game! Tried watching Pravus but he had his game volume so low I could only hear his voice literally unwatchable! Btw would love a full playthrough for this game
On his twicth
@@thehuntersburrow7453 👍
Plus if Pravus is still the same as when I first watched him, he’s way too business like with the game, doesn’t even care about the story being told, just the mechanics
I wonder if we’ll ever get any mention/appearance of the lesser known factions of the Russian Civil War, like Makhno’s anarchist Black Army/Makhnovia, the Green Armies/Tambov Rebellion or even the Kronstadt Rebellion.
Well, Makhno was in the Ukraine, Tambov happened in 1919, when the legion was far away from Moscow and patrolling Siberian railway and Kronstadt Rebellion happened in 1921, a year after the Legions were out of Russia.
If you choose the northern route there's a sidequest where you can help local green army.
@@jankvasnicka785 You do?
I'm gonna have to replay it, but I assumed you would be helping Komuch/Provisional Siberian Government, not green army?
@@mrkillerovsky Which is exactly why I said "mention/appearance" and not just "appearance".
Maybe if you sneak close to red army officers during missions, you can listen to their banter and hear (aside from useful intel for the legion) that there's an army in Ukraine that fights against both the Reds and the Whites (which is what Makhno's Black Army did)(this method could also be used for the green armies).
Or maybe you can come across the wreck of a red army tachanka as a location on the map (a tachanka is a horse-tracked carriage armed with a machine-gun, widely attributed to Makhno as his invention), and whilst the soldiers are examining the strange device to salvage or repair, a question comes up that asks who made this, and someone answers "It's clearly a red army asset, but I've Heard that tachankas were mainly made by Nestor Makhno", to which someone else says "the bandit from Ukraine?", and then someone retorts "Makhno isn't just any regular outlaw, he's an anarchist, him and his Black Army are fighting against literally everyone else in Ukraine"
The specifics in dialogue could change and aren't final, but this is how I would mention the Makhnovists in the game.
Better Czech than Red!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that was getting real pissed off with Langer being such a damn contrarian all the time. Just to see what he would say I went back and chose a different dialogue option and he still was a dickhead to me about my choices
Left us on the cliffhanger of getting rail-artillery.
I'm glad no naysayer pointed out how the artillery car didn't keep the other train safe. Goodness knows they were morose enough.
Finaly a sequel, im looking foward to this playthru
What is it a sequel too?
@@propanda7 last train home, hr did a video on it a while back
It's not a sequel. It's just the next chapter in the game
@@stoopidphersun7436 it is a sequel to last video
@@stoopidphersun7436 so uh, yknow

When bees, boars, wolves and industrial accidents kill more than the reds...
2:03
OH! OH! MEMEME! LEMME DO IT COMMANDER! I WATCHED ONE OF OUR COMMRADS VIDEO ON THE PROPER METHOD! ME! ME! ME!
Average Czech moment
Loving every ep of this, good show Rimmy
Loved the video @RimmyDownunder! Can't wait for the next video man! This is looking like a Great Game to check out as well!
The sync teamkill moments(takedowns in unison, a melee attack with a shot to finish off) are impressive - but I’m hung up on how Rimmy formed ranks in the 20th century. Albeit in the first quarter and against wolves
This plus rogue trader are such treats to play :D
Found out about this gave via you, Rimmy...Dame, this game was such a wonderful experaince and such a treat, thanks for showing this game of dude! ^^b
9:35 "Hey Archibald, tell me if think the enemy did or did not get the point-"
Yes! I love this gameplay! I look forward to the next episode!
This is kinda reminding me of Miasma Chronicles, particularly the emphasis on stealth. Very different tactical games but both reward you for using ruthless tactics and fighting dirty.
Loving this game!
16:45 has got to be a highlight: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
So happy to see you playing this game. Hope to see new apisode soon
This this was Great Keep Up The Great Work Rimmy 👍
Comment for the algorithm.
(Also, apparently it has to be over 5 words long for it to count)
Hell yeah buddy!
Yeeeesss I have waited for this!
I bought and completed this game because of Rimmy, this is geninuely a great game
CzechoSlovak pog.
Bro i was on a train as I was watching this the timing be crazy sometimes
36:09, SOUP! Just like Frostpunk.
The games great fun, I bought it based on your previous video. Though early I played it fairly stealthy (until I inevitably screwed up) like you did, eventually I went more full-on combat. Scouts are holy shit OP by the way. "Camouflage while still"? Who needs that when I can instakill on a CD or set up for more range/accuracy/damage, enough to one shot dudes. And they can even bring grenades with them if you unlock grenadier on them as well. The last few missions I went eight scouts two medics, split them into squads of five.
I do agree with you that train assignments are a bit clunky. I'd love a "sort idle soldiers to top" button, personally.
I remember being here for the stream. Was a lot of fun but I had to leave right after the choice between north or south
I wonder how/if they'll depict the Czechoslovak capture of Admiral Kolchak and his handing over to the Bolsheviks for safe passage. It would break the narrative a bit, or maybe it would be a typical "the side we are fighting on isn't any better" moment.
I'd love if they got at least a bit of the Kolchak dilemma.
@@commandertoastcz6256 Yeah, or since the game's story seems to be fiction inspired by the period, perhaps they could give you the option to not give him to the communists, or give him to the French/Western Powers, as they originally promised. But to make this a dilemma, they would have to portray the White Army committing atrocities under him.
The side not being any better is kinda a complicated thing though…
@@AdamantLightLP Is it though? One can't really look at the Russian Civil War as on a conflict of good and bad (which one can do in other historical events), rather it was more of a conflict of bad and worse.
@@lordyaromir6407that’s why I said it was complicated. The Tsar was objectively the least poor option. The reds caused decades of suffering to both their own people and the nations around them. During the revolution especially they were fanatic, stealing, killing, doing whatever in the name of the revolution. I get that change was needed, but hilariously, the soviets treated their people just as poorly or worse than the Tsar, except they pretended it was better, and used the notion of “the greater good” to blind the people with the state religion.
What an amazing game
I cant wait for more
Best wishes
I am enjoying this LP immensely. I found your channel via the old Valkyrie Chronicles LP so this gives me a weird nostalgia (minus the cute anime girls).
Why must this video appear in my feed right as i need to get some sleep, my fate is set in stone…
2:00 Trotsky really doing that genocide run
I’m sure I would’ve somehow found a way to get every train car first off and just worked off any materials I found *after* that cause it’s not like I’d need to save anything for trade if I’m completely self-sufficient
Better dead then red eh Rimmy?
Aaaw! Of. Course it ends *right* before we get to use the Artillery Car!
This game reminds of Frostpunk in which if you do a good job microing the economy you can end with a lot of spare resources by the end. Making cold and hunger a trivial thing. I finished the game so much "Stimulants" that my soldiers went days without sleeping 😂
damn i need more
18:33 Now, there may have been other guns that used this but having to manually cock the pin because it wasn't a function of the bolt was a feature of the Lithgow 1B.
Hurray for neutrality
More please!!
this game is fun! I want more damn it (dont sell your medical supplies for god sake rimmy! make ammo and sell that instead ;)
If i was exhuasted doing constant shifts standing, and while i was tired in a rocking train, i can imagine i could fall and die
Comment for the algorithm, thank you rimmy
my reaction seeing this notification. Two times how does he do it
The insistence on neutrality is strange to me when one side is literally trying to kill you
Below freezing is only "slightly cold" now? They do things differently over in Europeland
This is the game I wish phantom brigade was like
south for big train :)
YEEEEEEESSSSS MOOOOOOORRREEEE TRAAAAIIIIIMNNNNN
lets gooooooooo
25:30 live Israel reaction
yessssssssss
Pog
I wonder if choosing the Northern route and going by Yekaterinburg means they get to go by Ipatiev House and find the "remains" of the Tsar and Tsarina
So Arma Op When? XD But thank you for playing this. As Czech this is part of history i am personaly most proud off.
I'm wondering if Langer is bugged or something and you were getting negative remarks when you shouldn't have been
Hey Rimmy, I know this isn't related to Iron Harvest, but they released a new DLC the Rusviet revolution and holy shit is it good.
CHOO CHOO
langer is exceedingly annoying with how utterly contradictory and defeatist he is. i get the depressed soldier act, but he could at least be supportive.
so now we get frostpunk in there as well?
Nooo where is the REST. WHERE IS IT. Also just toss Langer in next bridge in to water and be done with him.
I would be interested in see you play this again but next time going north instead to do the Russian royal family plot/ quest thing I have bine reading about
The fact that this game doesn't feature the Komuch makes it irretrivably a joke in my eyes.
Rimmy playing as the based Czechs versus the cringe Red Army under Trotsky.
Did Rimmy ever say anything about what's happening with the vintage story rp? Idk if i missed a post about it or not :)
Langer starts his kvetching when you've taken more damage from PIGS than reds.
vod ?
28:33 average Russian soldier
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!
It does feel very weird to see all these mentions of nuetrality and such, despite it seemingly going to great pains to make the reds seem like supervillains, it seems like at some point they were going for a more nuanced alt-history, maybe even diverging before the initial fuckup that made the legion so embroiled. My guess is this was too complicated for budget and timeframe, but they'd already done the section transition voicelines and live footage, so that being expensive, they kept it. Would also explain all the non-option text trees that seem like they're framed to have several, and Langer's contradictory behaviour.
Idk, the reds kinda were supervillains if you look into it. They were devout fanatics, you had two choices, suffer under our leadership or suffer then die.
@@AdamantLightLP Not really, but that is certainly an impression their enemies have very successfully cultivated.
Considering how they completely re-write the disarm and arrest order from Trotsky into an order to kill on sight, it's probably gonna be "the reds (and sometimes the whites, but never to the same degree as the reds) are mustache twirling villains, and the Czech legion never did anything bad ever" even though the Czech legion, did, infact, do some bad stuff.
It was very strange that you couldn't *not* burn the will after explicitly being told that you wouldn't be penalised for reading it. The only purpose of that reminder would then be to encourage the player to read the will, but if you're not allowed to leave it intact then the game could have skipped the option to read it or not as well and just forced you to open it. It feels like more options were available earlier in development, but then someone made an executive decision to simplify this quest.
Here's what I thought the player should have been able to do after reading the will: take it, find a daughter of the general and tell her that you have to speak to her brother Vitaliy. If she responds that she has no brother, you'll have uncovered a plot to steal the land. That would make for a more interesting story.
Langer's attitude is probably the writer's way of making the situation seem really grim and downtrodden to sell the message that fighting is misery as well as pointless. Good thing this isn't reflected in the gameplay aspect since you can very much succeed there. Some other games about war make the challenge legitimately unbeatable with the resources it gives you in order to drive the point home, and I'm glad this one doesn't do that.
Man, it looks like the writing sometimes works against the gameplay instead of with it.
