Fellow Romans It's easy to weep and say, simply enough, this is the end. But that's where you're wrong, for we Brutii will live on him hearts and minds. Who could not forget the laughter we shared when we watched the Greek leaders torn apart by our vast legions of dogs. And who of us did not shed a tear for Captain Nero’s last ride? Who of us wasn't proud when we watched the Egyptian army buckle under the weight of Julianus Vatinius? I will never forget my historic battle for Patavium and making my way from a General to the faction leader and an Augustus. So let us not weep because our adventure is over, let us rejoice that it happened.
*GREATEST SPEECH TOLD! ALL OF ROME WEEPS FOR JOY!* Citizens flocked to listen to Aulus Augustus return with Pluto's Blessing, to give a Grand Speech celebrating the rise of Brutiism! Among these citizens is this proud reporter, weeping at how we in Jonstantinople once feared the fall of True Rome, for joy that the mass funerals for the slain Restorationists will end, and and for hope that the future will bring! Today, my friends, in order to deal with mental health issues, this will be my last report. Perhaps my son Tercius will take up the mantle! But from now on, I wish to share with you loyal Romans my solemn joy. Vale, may I see you again one day! *Plebeiani Mundorum, Gaudemus!*
A statue was made in honor of Julianus Victor, Ceaser of Rome, but sadly part of the plaque was warn so it instead appeared to honor someone named Julius Caesar, the tablet was never fixed to state the Roman's true name
After julianus Vatinius left for space Interesting News came. Apparently Captain Nero, who was considered dead, conquered Ireland. The Emperor had only one thing to say: " What?"
It is said that Captain Nero lived for another thousand years, and went on to found a nation of madmen. History records that Nero named this land: Portugal.

Hey, I had an idea that someone should create a gif/video of the overall map as the campaign progressed, maybe 2 or 3 frames per video, a time lapse really. I'm coming to the realisation that I am too lazy, however maybe you would, with the effort you've put into this?
Epilogue As years went by the other families faded into memory as the Brutii/Roman Empires rose to take their place Julianus soon ascended into Godhood becoming the base of all major religions across the globe I, Lentulus Brutus spent the next few decades hooting across the British border, soon they decided to crucify themselves so they wouldn't have to hear me and my son's hooting any longer Spartacus the good soon surpassed Homer and all other writers as he became the most popular writer in the world The forces the Armenians continued to debate whether to strike Jon or the Parthians, later both factions would make peace Cassius Corpulentus soon was resurrected and was arrested for causing an empire wide orgy in Scythia Julianus Son, Gnause was later promoted to Faction leader and led Rome into an age of prosperity War pig, sadly forgotten in Jerusalem, died of old age, while he expected to go on campaign again, all generals stationed either left or died of old age. This was the tale of Jon and his generals for Jon conquered the world but we generals, we conquered the comment section.
We all came out to Roma On the Latium shoreline To make Imperium with Julianus We didn't have much time Julii and the Senate Had the best place around But some stupid with elephants Burnt the place to the ground C'mon you mothers
*Viva la Vatinius 2.0* He's going to rule the world Armies march when he gives the word He doesn't have to sleep alone A goddess all for his own Sending out his assassins and spys To steal the life from his enemies eyes Listen to the crowd that sings Death to the reds, long live the greens! All the time he held the key To Brutii triumphant victory And Julianus could easily stand On his billions of adoring fans Hear the Julii generals bowling Roman ballista, the senate complaining Fear his forces, his sword and shield The shiny bald head he proudly fields And for some reason I can explain Julianus Vatinius is in the hall of fame Always a Roman sword With a Brutii final word It was a noble and glorious wind Blew down the gates to let him in And Spurius asks how come The faction leader is so handsome? All the legionnaires wait To help him achieve his fate The best ever archer Cretan Julianus for God Emperor King Hear the oiled Greeks all wrestling Roman Auxilia, Cassius slamming Fear his forces, his sword and shield The gorgeous bald head he proudly fields And for some reason I can explain The Vatinius line will forever reign Always a Roman sword With a Brutii final word Rooo-oooo-ooome (x5) Hear Barbarian cavalry yelling Roman equities, war pig oinking Fear his forces, his sword and shield The boldly bald head he proudly fields And for some reason I can explain The Vatinius line will forever reign Always a Roman sword With a Brutii final word Boo, when did you decide to become a bard? *Squeak squeak!* On a serious note though, I have to say this has been my favourite series ever. Not only because of Jon with the great gameplay, historical facts and obligatory muppetry and low perception, but also because of the comments section and all the characters who have evolved and created magic together. Thank you all! I created this parody as an ode to the series and the comments. If anyone has any improvements please tell me and I will edit it, though chicken nuggets probably won't fit...
Reports came after the sack of Rome of a dashing rogue in a purple fringed toga with the initials MM, hiding out in the woods near Rome with a merry band of men, assaulting Brutii leaders and tax collectors then distributing the sestertii to the poor folk of the area. Who could this man be?
Great Britant The ravenous dogs were shot to death and their meat poisoned before returning them to the provisions that were meant for Julianus Vatinius's rocket.
Jon always loves micromanaging his cavalry while is infantry gets slaughtered. speaking of infantry, he called the praetorians in Gnaeus Vatiniuns' army principes.
I've just finished rewatching this whole series. Truly remarkable. Jon is so wonderful as a storyteller and is great at giving personality to all the characters that pop up. Rome: Total War is the first MATN series that really captured my attention, and I'm so grateful that I saw it because it meant I got exposed to all the other stuff on this channel. Without the adventures of Julianus Vatinius, I'd never have seen Fallout Kill Everything or Fallout YOLO. I'd never have seen Jon play Stellaris or CK2, both of which have become some of my all time favorite games. Thank you to Jon and Claire and the rest of the team for making all those wonderful videos that could keep my entertained until the end of time.
Arguably the greatest ever series on TH-cam, hope to see the Seleucid campaign played on the very hardest difficulty in the future, in the meantime I'm really looking forward to Medieval 2. Take a bow Jon you deserve it.
Secundus doesn't even get a mention? The greatest true Brutus to ever live? The penultimate political rival of Julianus Vatinius before he fled Rome? Bah, must be Julianus' doing.
Wow jon, i have been watching this from nearly the beginning and this series was a part of my daily live. I learned a whole lot of new things about the game like campaign and battle strategies, the secret settlement and some history. Heck, i did not even know the marian reforms were a thing! Anyway, as much as i wanted to see the final bits as episodes i am glad you did it this way, it brought back a lot of memories of the early campaign, it was flipping funny and for some reason seeing people like spurius the ugly suddenly being old and being granted the title of victor brought up some emotions. I am very happy you decided you are going to play medieval 2 next. My thanks to you, jon and all the amazing fan accounts. This was an amazing experience!
I stumbled upon this channel when I saw your Rome 2 is totally broken video. I saw off to the side that there was a playlist for Rome 1, one of my most favorite games. I could have never expected the journey I would find. Your storytelling and lore building were fantastic. Truly, there was never a dull moment; I found myself just as invested as you were in your characters. I believe I'll be giving my own generals a bit more love and affection on my next play through (not to mention trying out all the new things I've learned about the game). You, sir, are bloody brilliant.
It has been an honour. Also its sort of strange to now share my name with Spurius the Ugly you know having 2 great Spurius generals can have its downsides.
The Captain of Cretan Mercenaries, Vanquisher of Egyptian Pharaohs, the Whirwind of Italy and Conqueror of Rome. Farewell, glorious Conqueror. I will not forget your deeds! You will be the shining banner for the rest of my life.
The way he illustrated the personalities and traits of the generals through these 40 some hours of video was compelling and interesting and I was a bit sad to see it end, so that epilogue was a perfect way to end the series. Plenty of shows could learn a thing or two about series closure from you Mr. Nerd. That was a pleasant surprise that I actually enjoyed watching someone else play a game, and Jon's wit and charm made it fun and binge watchable. Excellent stuff Jon.
The only thing that broke immediately today was my heart now that this is over. Loved this game as a kid and I'm so glad I stumbled across this series, even if it was four years after you made it. Great job.
The past 5 months have been a roller coaster for me, and your RTW vids helped me through them. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. Keep up the good work!
I have to admit, as a long time player of this game, I really liked your LP of it. Didn't watch the whole thing, admittedly, just the Finale, and this one. But the story you put behind the characters was funny, and compelling.. The final bit about him stealing money and shooting off into space.. golden. I'd, quite honestly, really like to see what you can do with RTR. Although that game is an ENTIRELY different beast.. since after taking a city, you can't do anything with it for about 6-8 turns until you "Romanize" it. It IS far more realistic, but not as practical in terms of a strategy game. Good job though man!
Mathieu Boisclair Cool, I was predicting Medieval 2 myself, seemed like the logical next series. He said next Sunday though, hopefully it wont be once a week only :(
If you ever do any more Total War, you'll have a dedicated follower right here. This series was truly and utterly fantastic. Thank you so very, very much.
After 7 years I've came up this series following my regnited passion for a old game like rome total war and may I say This was an amazing journey it didnt feel like 45 hours and i wish it could have lasted longer. You made me discover so many little details and perks that i was completely unaware 20 years ago. But anyway thank you very much and goodbye john ❤
This was easily one of my favorite series of all time, Jon. If FNV:yolo didn't exist, this would easily be my favorite by far. Your commentary, your combat blunders, the characters that were built from this, I'm sure to remember for years to come. The community interaction especially down in the comments throughout this series has been amazing fun, and I look forward to see how it grows through Medieval 2. You've got me hooked on Total War, Jon. I can't say that's a bad thing in the slightest. Keep going strong, Jon. Stay gold.
Jon, thank you for the this incredible series. You reinvigorated my love of this game that I've owned for years. Can't wait to start watching you play medieval 2, in contention with Rome as the best of the series.
Oh my god, yes. My all time most favourite strategy game ever. Medieval 2 Total War. You utter genius, Jon. Oh I hope you're playing as England. Please, lets block out the sun with our yard long arrows.
I feel a genuine sense of mourning at the end of this magnificent series. There have been days where my entire mood was changed for the better by a notification saying the next episode had been released. Jon, your TH-cam channel has helped me to get through the stresses of school, the loss of loved ones, and allowed me to escape reality when I need it most. Godspeed to you sir, and thank you very much for continuing to entertain and being a unmovable pilar in my life.
It was hard to say goodbye to this series because I've really enjoyed this series! I felt like crying as this has been really fun and, at times, really intense and I've enjoyed every episode! Thank you so much Jon!
I am truly saddened that this series is over. I have fallen in love with this game all over again and I have started my own campaign, I truly truly hope that you continue to do total war series and if you can bring along some of the general we have grown to love and care for during this series. Thank you so very much for this series you have brought back so many good memories and i cherish every single one of them. =P
Well I was about 2 years late to the party with this one, but what a great, entertaining, fun, informative series this was. Jon is so talented with his narration skills, and his knowledge of this game is unbelievable. Thanks to Many A True Nerd for this, I'm looking forward to seeing lots more of your work in future!
I watched every single episode on the day from day one. The first video I watched on your channel was your first episode of rome total war. Damn it's such a shame it is over, I loved it so much! Looking forward to your next total war series!!!
This was one of the best things I have ever seen on youtube. The content was superb and very entertaining, only to be made even better by the comments. You got yourself a really cool community here. This was some time well spent for sure.
So glad I found this series when I stumbled onto this gem of a game. Didn’t grow up playing it but I’m obsessed now! Binged this series between work and other obligations and finally finished over the course of a couple of weeks.
Why I did not comment four years ago despite being active in the comments I will never know - however it is not too late to say THANK YOU for this amazing series. When it started I was in a horrible place after breakup from a relationship that lasted from childhood to around my 18th birthday (how foolish a young man can be), and I remember that this series was one of the few things that would keep me going from week to week. Again, thank you for that!
I am going to miss this. Thank you so much for all the hours of an awesome campaign. You, good sir, will forever go down in my books as making the best video game series play-through
This was a great series. Thank you so much for finishing it. I started watching because I love the game, and finished it because of the quality of the commentary. The epilogue was a fitting and humorous end.
I have really enjoyed this series right from the start and looked forward to it ever week, very sad to see it come to an end. Everything about the series was perfect, keep up the good work Jon.
I actually really really enjoyed this series and was always happy when a new episode came out. I just love ur way of playing and how you are developing an own story. I would never play such a game myself, but I was really entertained watching you. Keep up your great work. Looking forward to Medieval 2.
You have given me so much nostalgia good sir I used to watch this game all the time with my brother he would play and I would Watch over his shoulder and all I Gotta say is thank you.😊
All TH-cam will be amazed at such an epilogue! THE SERIES IS CONCLUDED!!!
Thanks Narrator (voice crack) Man!
*WE HAVE FOUGHT WELL! THE ARCHERS OF CRETE HOPES TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SOMEDAY! BUT FOR NOW:*
*_LONG LIVE JULIANIS VATINIUS!_*
Elite Cretan Archers maybe we can be longbows in medieval
Elite Cretan Archers Viva la Vatinius!
Minsc And Boo viva my compatriot!
Well done fellow archer brethren I wish you well in your journey to come.
Long live Julianis Vatinius
long live the empire
Elite Cretan Archers thought you guys followed him
Hands down, the best total war series ever made
Domen Cirar Possibly the best series ever!
Minsc And Boo ć
Domen Cirar Official Devin's total war narrative lets plays are very good as well you should see them ...
Agreed.
I’d say number 2 after Jon’s medieval 2 campaign
no no no
it can't end
well it's time to become a Space God
time for a break Julianus Victor. You have served well
Julianus Vatinius you are an imposter and Jon forgot about me :(
Lentulus Brutus how dare you talk about the supreme ruler of all of Rome like that.
Matt Kennedy the actual Julianus got legit sick and stopped using his account. This imposter has taken his place but it is not the same
No it isn't, you're too busy MAKING SPAAAAACE ROME!
Fellow Romans It's easy to weep and say, simply enough, this is the end. But that's where you're wrong, for we Brutii will live on him hearts and minds. Who could not forget the laughter we shared when we watched the Greek leaders torn apart by our vast legions of dogs. And who of us did not shed a tear for Captain Nero’s last ride? Who of us wasn't proud when we watched the Egyptian army buckle under the weight of Julianus Vatinius? I will never forget my historic battle for Patavium and making my way from a General to the faction leader and an Augustus. So let us not weep because our adventure is over, let us rejoice that it happened.
Well said! Everyone is an eternal hero! Hamsters and generals everywhere rejoice!
*Squeak!*
Shine on, you crazy republic swine!
*GREATEST SPEECH TOLD! ALL OF ROME WEEPS FOR JOY!*
Citizens flocked to listen to Aulus Augustus return with Pluto's Blessing, to give a Grand Speech celebrating the rise of Brutiism! Among these citizens is this proud reporter, weeping at how we in Jonstantinople once feared the fall of True Rome, for joy that the mass funerals for the slain Restorationists will end, and and for hope that the future will bring!

*Plebeiani Mundorum, Gaudemus!*
Aulus Augustus or when Jon pulled me out of management to act as backup and I went on to win a heroic victory and conquer northern France
Aulus Augustus ok ben shapiro
A statue was made in honor of Julianus Victor, Ceaser of Rome, but sadly part of the plaque was warn so it instead appeared to honor someone named Julius Caesar, the tablet was never fixed to state the Roman's true name
my favorite comment thusfar
💀💀💀
Can't believe Capua secured the space rocket contract and not Croton. Their governor must be pretty damn fantastic.
His name's Biggus something. I forget.
Is it "Biggus -Dickus- Pigus"?
Did you adopt Biggie into the family...?
well done with governing Croton and all that.
wait Norse Archer how are you here? this is 1000 years ago?
Shall we be having that tea with light refreshments now?
Spartocus the Good Alesia has some great tea. Pop in whenever you like
If you need some herbs for your herbal tea... you know who has a great guarden, don't you?
Spartocus the Good
After julianus Vatinius left for space Interesting News came. Apparently Captain Nero, who was considered dead, conquered Ireland. The Emperor had only one thing to say: " What?"
It is said that Captain Nero lived for another thousand years, and went on to found a nation of madmen. History records that Nero named this land: Portugal.

Galaxy Gold you have served the empire well
Hey, I had an idea that someone should create a gif/video of the overall map as the campaign progressed, maybe 2 or 3 frames per video, a time lapse really. I'm coming to the realisation that I am too lazy, however maybe you would, with the effort you've put into this?
sorry, I've never really made anything like that I don't think I'd be able to
And 45 hours well spent.
Galaxy Gold Time well spent!
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME JON! YOU FORGOT TO MENTION ME!
LENTULUS BRUTUS CONTINUED TO LIVE IN ALESIA.
NOTHING INTERESTING HAPPENED TO HIM.
Many A True Nerd NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lentulus Brutus died alone and forgotten THE END!
Marcus Maxentius except I had a wife and a son
Marcus Maxentius at least I wasn't crucified in Rome
Poor Oppius Victor, never became faction leader...
Epilogue
As years went by the other families faded into memory as the Brutii/Roman Empires rose to take their place
Julianus soon ascended into Godhood becoming the base of all major religions across the globe
I, Lentulus Brutus spent the next few decades hooting across the British border, soon they decided to crucify themselves so they wouldn't have to hear me and my son's hooting any longer
Spartacus the good soon surpassed Homer and all other writers as he became the most popular writer in the world
The forces the Armenians continued to debate whether to strike Jon or the Parthians, later both factions would make peace
Cassius Corpulentus soon was resurrected and was arrested for causing an empire wide orgy in Scythia
Julianus Son, Gnause was later promoted to Faction leader and led Rome into an age of prosperity
War pig, sadly forgotten in Jerusalem, died of old age, while he expected to go on campaign again, all generals stationed either left or died of old age.
This was the tale of Jon and his generals for Jon conquered the world but we generals, we conquered the comment section.
Nice.
Spartocus the Good Jon forgot about me :(
To be honest I did too. Who were you again? Lentilsoup or something like that?
Marcus Maxentius maybe we can continue our rivalry into the next Total war game!!
We shall see.
We all came out to Roma
On the Latium shoreline
To make Imperium with Julianus
We didn't have much time
Julii and the Senate
Had the best place around
But some stupid with elephants
Burnt the place to the ground
C'mon you mothers
Thank you, and goodbye to the War Pig as well. It's a sad day. But alas, if Lord Jon is correct, I may return one of these days.
YOU GOT THAT TINY TOWN UP IN THE MARSH!!!!
RAISE THE ALARMS, MATN MUST HERE US!
Yes I did, thank you for noticing.
Gnaeus the Lady-Killer
This series was better than cocaine!
I will shed a tear over the end :')
It's been one hell of a ride. Thanks for the journey Jon.
*Viva la Vatinius 2.0*
He's going to rule the world
Armies march when he gives the word
He doesn't have to sleep alone
A goddess all for his own
Sending out his assassins and spys
To steal the life from his enemies eyes
Listen to the crowd that sings
Death to the reds, long live the greens!
All the time he held the key
To Brutii triumphant victory
And Julianus could easily stand
On his billions of adoring fans
Hear the Julii generals bowling
Roman ballista, the senate complaining
Fear his forces, his sword and shield
The shiny bald head he proudly fields
And for some reason I can explain
Julianus Vatinius is in the hall of fame
Always a Roman sword
With a Brutii final word
It was a noble and glorious wind
Blew down the gates to let him in
And Spurius asks how come
The faction leader is so handsome?
All the legionnaires wait
To help him achieve his fate
The best ever archer Cretan
Julianus for God Emperor King
Hear the oiled Greeks all wrestling
Roman Auxilia, Cassius slamming
Fear his forces, his sword and shield
The gorgeous bald head he proudly fields
And for some reason I can explain
The Vatinius line will forever reign
Always a Roman sword
With a Brutii final word
Rooo-oooo-ooome (x5)
Hear Barbarian cavalry yelling
Roman equities, war pig oinking
Fear his forces, his sword and shield
The boldly bald head he proudly fields
And for some reason I can explain
The Vatinius line will forever reign
Always a Roman sword
With a Brutii final word
Boo, when did you decide to become a bard?
*Squeak squeak!*
On a serious note though, I have to say this has been my favourite series ever. Not only because of Jon with the great gameplay, historical facts and obligatory muppetry and low perception, but also because of the comments section and all the characters who have evolved and created magic together. Thank you all!
I created this parody as an ode to the series and the comments. If anyone has any improvements please tell me and I will edit it, though chicken nuggets probably won't fit...
A bush from the Island of Borneo
Farewell for now, strange talking bush!
*Sad squeak*
It came and went all too quickly. *Spoiler* Medieval II Total War soon!
Should watch the entire video before commenting :P
Reign Fixed :)
Reports came after the sack of Rome of a dashing rogue in a purple fringed toga with the initials MM, hiding out in the woods near Rome with a merry band of men, assaulting Brutii leaders and tax collectors then distributing the sestertii to the poor folk of the area.
Who could this man be?
Before long, ravenous dogs were released into the woods. They dealt with Marcus pretty well.
Great Britant The ravenous dogs were shot to death and their meat poisoned before returning them to the provisions that were meant for Julianus Vatinius's rocket.
Marcus and Publius running through the forest...
Well, not you. You're dead.
Marcus Maxentius What a change! You turned from anti-Brutii conspiracy theorist into a Robin-Hoodesque badass
wanted to set up space ro.... oh THIS is where the stellaris livestream comes in Isn't it?
Feels a little like the end credits of Fallout New Vegas.
On the last video the other romans and I actually made a post like that.
That was such a special playthrough, the knowledge, the fun and the comments. Great job everyone.
I'm not tearing up, it's just that Julianus Vatinius' bald head is making my eyes hurt!
Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus The shine is magnificent...
Jon always loves micromanaging his cavalry while is infantry gets slaughtered. speaking of infantry, he called the praetorians in Gnaeus Vatiniuns' army principes.
THE DAY IS OURS
I've just finished rewatching this whole series. Truly remarkable. Jon is so wonderful as a storyteller and is great at giving personality to all the characters that pop up.
Rome: Total War is the first MATN series that really captured my attention, and I'm so grateful that I saw it because it meant I got exposed to all the other stuff on this channel. Without the adventures of Julianus Vatinius, I'd never have seen Fallout Kill Everything or Fallout YOLO. I'd never have seen Jon play Stellaris or CK2, both of which have become some of my all time favorite games. Thank you to Jon and Claire and the rest of the team for making all those wonderful videos that could keep my entertained until the end of time.
As soon as he said "rocket" I lost it. Good work, Julianus Victor.
So, instead of becoming a bridge troll like his father, Aulus the Ugly became a cave troll?
Yep lol
I've found it! Cassius' secret chicken nugget recipe, it was in Themiskyra!
He also had a secret sauce that MacDonalds once stole as a promotion
Update your profile pic, Your Majesty.
Thanks for the ride @ManyATrueNerd This was a joy to watch
This was one of the greatest youtube series ever.
Arguably the greatest ever series on TH-cam, hope to see the Seleucid campaign played on the very hardest difficulty in the future, in the meantime I'm really looking forward to Medieval 2.
Take a bow Jon you deserve it.
Secundus doesn't even get a mention? The greatest true Brutus to ever live? The penultimate political rival of Julianus Vatinius before he fled Rome? Bah, must be Julianus' doing.
who?
Who?
Wow jon, i have been watching this from nearly the beginning and this series was a part of my daily live. I learned a whole lot of new things about the game like campaign and battle strategies, the secret settlement and some history. Heck, i did not even know the marian reforms were a thing!
Anyway, as much as i wanted to see the final bits as episodes i am glad you did it this way, it brought back a lot of memories of the early campaign, it was flipping funny and for some reason seeing people like spurius the ugly suddenly being old and being granted the title of victor brought up some emotions. I am very happy you decided you are going to play medieval 2 next.
My thanks to you, jon and all the amazing fan accounts. This was an amazing experience!
Also, i really think the monk from medieval 2 looks a lot like julianus vatinius. Just saying..
I stumbled upon this channel when I saw your Rome 2 is totally broken video. I saw off to the side that there was a playlist for Rome 1, one of my most favorite games. I could have never expected the journey I would find. Your storytelling and lore building were fantastic. Truly, there was never a dull moment; I found myself just as invested as you were in your characters. I believe I'll be giving my own generals a bit more love and affection on my next play through (not to mention trying out all the new things I've learned about the game). You, sir, are bloody brilliant.
It has been an honour. Also its sort of strange to now share my name with Spurius the Ugly you know having 2 great Spurius generals can have its downsides.
Bye Spuris!
bye my bush pig friend, its been a pleasure
Julianus Vatinius: Killer, Victor and the Emperor of Rome.
The Captain of Cretan Mercenaries, Vanquisher of Egyptian Pharaohs, the Whirwind of Italy and Conqueror of Rome.
Farewell, glorious Conqueror. I will not forget your deeds! You will be the shining banner for the rest of my life.
The way he illustrated the personalities and traits of the generals through these 40 some hours of video was compelling and interesting and I was a bit sad to see it end, so that epilogue was a perfect way to end the series. Plenty of shows could learn a thing or two about series closure from you Mr. Nerd. That was a pleasant surprise that I actually enjoyed watching someone else play a game, and Jon's wit and charm made it fun and binge watchable. Excellent stuff Jon.
The only thing that broke immediately today was my heart now that this is over. Loved this game as a kid and I'm so glad I stumbled across this series, even if it was four years after you made it. Great job.
The past 5 months have been a roller coaster for me, and your RTW vids helped me through them. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. Keep up the good work!
I have to admit, as a long time player of this game, I really liked your LP of it. Didn't watch the whole thing, admittedly, just the Finale, and this one. But the story you put behind the characters was funny, and compelling.. The final bit about him stealing money and shooting off into space.. golden.
I'd, quite honestly, really like to see what you can do with RTR. Although that game is an ENTIRELY different beast.. since after taking a city, you can't do anything with it for about 6-8 turns until you "Romanize" it. It IS far more realistic, but not as practical in terms of a strategy game.
Good job though man!
Annnnd still no temple. I'm out, screw this!
Oh.. now I HAVE seen this entire series. Still great. I actually didn't remember that this video I'd watched so long ago was yours. :D
Great job sir.
BEST.SERIES.EVER.
My Call: Medieval Total War 2 is coming! So Cheer on! we shall be entertain by World Domination dear Romans!
Mathieu Boisclair Did you watch the video to the end? He says he will do medieval 2 next. Or did you mean you called it before this video?
I wasn't done ;) I also contribute to Patreon and it was rumored but uncertain. ;)
Mathieu Boisclair Cool, I was predicting Medieval 2 myself, seemed like the logical next series. He said next Sunday though, hopefully it wont be once a week only :(
Greatest total war series and possibly TH-cam series of all time
Nice ending. You can tell a lot of effort went into it. Thank you.
oink! :(
Oink :(
Jon bringing back the "Narrator Tone" from choose your own apocalypse. Love it.
"Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen! I'm Jon. This is Many A True Nerd and welcome back to ROME TOTAL WAR" =Best part of my week
Now I want to see a total war style fallout game that is between the raiders, Enclave, BoS, Super mutants, etc narrated by Jon
And so ends this wonderful series. This was a fantastic adventure, and I'm glad I was around on the channel to watch it.
I enjoyed this series, thank you.
I'm gonna go ahead and double checked i liked every video.
If you ever do any more Total War, you'll have a dedicated follower right here. This series was truly and utterly fantastic. Thank you so very, very much.
After 7 years I've came up this series following my regnited passion for a old game like rome total war and may I say This was an amazing journey it didnt feel like 45 hours and i wish it could have lasted longer. You made me discover so many little details and perks that i was completely unaware 20 years ago. But anyway thank you very much and goodbye john ❤
This was easily one of my favorite series of all time, Jon. If FNV:yolo didn't exist, this would easily be my favorite by far. Your commentary, your combat blunders, the characters that were built from this, I'm sure to remember for years to come. The community interaction especially down in the comments throughout this series has been amazing fun, and I look forward to see how it grows through Medieval 2.
You've got me hooked on Total War, Jon. I can't say that's a bad thing in the slightest.
Keep going strong, Jon. Stay gold.
Your best play throughs, are the games you know best.
This will be good.
Jon, thank you for the this incredible series. You reinvigorated my love of this game that I've owned for years. Can't wait to start watching you play medieval 2, in contention with Rome as the best of the series.
I like how the text describes the Amazons as having high quality armour, yet they have no defence points in amour.
Oh my god, yes. My all time most favourite strategy game ever. Medieval 2 Total War. You utter genius, Jon. Oh I hope you're playing as England. Please, lets block out the sun with our yard long arrows.
I feel a genuine sense of mourning at the end of this magnificent series. There have been days where my entire mood was changed for the better by a notification saying the next episode had been released. Jon, your TH-cam channel has helped me to get through the stresses of school, the loss of loved ones, and allowed me to escape reality when I need it most. Godspeed to you sir, and thank you very much for continuing to entertain and being a unmovable pilar in my life.
this series truly is a masterpiece. thank you, Jon
This was just the best series, the presentation and execution of the gameplay and editing was awesome
Many isn't even a total war youtuber but he has ,hands down , made the best total war series . Wel edited , interesting stories etc.
You're killing me with this video, it is god damn amazing man. Truly
It was hard to say goodbye to this series because I've really enjoyed this series! I felt like crying as this has been really fun and, at times, really intense and I've enjoyed every episode! Thank you so much Jon!
I am truly saddened that this series is over. I have fallen in love with this game all over again and I have started my own campaign, I truly truly hope that you continue to do total war series and if you can bring along some of the general we have grown to love and care for during this series. Thank you so very much for this series you have brought back so many good memories and i cherish every single one of them. =P
Well I was about 2 years late to the party with this one, but what a great, entertaining, fun, informative series this was. Jon is so talented with his narration skills, and his knowledge of this game is unbelievable. Thanks to Many A True Nerd for this, I'm looking forward to seeing lots more of your work in future!
This was my primary source of entertainment for several weeks. Thank you.
I watched every single episode on the day from day one. The first video I watched on your channel was your first episode of rome total war. Damn it's such a shame it is over, I loved it so much! Looking forward to your next total war series!!!
YES YES YES YES !! THANK YOU JON !!! I LOVE YOUR TOTAL WAR SERIES AND LOOOOOVE THAT YOUR CONTINUING !!!
GLORIOUS! This has been the cornerstone of my weekends for a while now. Sad to see it go, but what a ride!
This was one of the best things I have ever seen on youtube. The content was superb and very entertaining, only to be made even better by the comments. You got yourself a really cool community here. This was some time well spent for sure.
Just found your channel and finished this series. Absolutely brilliant!
I rarely comment, but this series was fantastic and deserves the appreciation
Can't wait for Sunday! See you then.
Man this has been a fun series that I've had the privilege of watching from beginning to end. How the time flys!
So glad I found this series when I stumbled onto this gem of a game. Didn’t grow up playing it but I’m obsessed now! Binged this series between work and other obligations and finally finished over the course of a couple of weeks.
Why I did not comment four years ago despite being active in the comments I will never know - however it is not too late to say THANK YOU for this amazing series. When it started I was in a horrible place after breakup from a relationship that lasted from childhood to around my 18th birthday (how foolish a young man can be), and I remember that this series was one of the few things that would keep me going from week to week. Again, thank you for that!
I am going to miss this. Thank you so much for all the hours of an awesome campaign.
You, good sir, will forever go down in my books as making the best video game series play-through
This was a great series. Thank you so much for finishing it. I started watching because I love the game, and finished it because of the quality of the commentary. The epilogue was a fitting and humorous end.
This Epilogue was beautiful, I almost cried when I realised it was finally the end
Hands down my favorite ending video of a series, very well done
I was so sad that this campaign was coming to an end, but now that you continue with medieval 2 total war, made my day
just finished the series. Truly entertaining. very well done.
oh boy, here comes one of my favorite games from one of my favorite youtubers. can't wait
I have really enjoyed this series right from the start and looked forward to it ever week, very sad to see it come to an end. Everything about the series was perfect, keep up the good work Jon.
I've never thrown my arms in the air because of a video but when you showed medieval total war i couldn't help my self
I actually really really enjoyed this series and was always happy when a new episode came out. I just love ur way of playing and how you are developing an own story. I would never play such a game myself, but I was really entertained watching you. Keep up your great work. Looking forward to Medieval 2.
Medieval II is the new series............
...Space Rome, Jon said...MY GOD, HE'LL BE A SPACE WIZARD!
I skipped to the end to find out (absolutely zero interest in PC strategy games).
Was hoping in vain for extra Skyrim or old school Fallout.
SalfordianBlue Actually, in the previous episode, he announced that Skyrim would take Tuesday's slot
i have chills. Outstanding work Jon.
I can't believe I actually watched this series in it's entirety. Amazing!!
Thank you weeks and weeks of fun Jon.
Just had to re-watch this, actually such a good series still to this day
Oink!
