In this nearly 5-hour no-commentary journey, I build a massive stable of gladiators in Gladiator Begins, preparing them for the ultimate showdowns in the Battle Arena.
The first half of the video is dedicated to character creation and establishing "Day 2" saves for a wide variety of fighters. This includes a custom modded Medeia (using a September 2025 fan DLC that resets her to a basic slave), Wonder Woman (getting her proper gear), a Samurai, a Robot, a Skeleton, and several others. The goal was to have a full roster of level 2 characters with even stats to face off against one another.
Once the stable was ready, I moved into the Battle Arena. I take control of various fighters in 1 vs 1 matches to see who comes out on top. You'll see intense matches between my new level 2 recruits, as well as "Boss" battles featuring elite, New Game+ characters like Crixus, Aibell, and Ella. I also test my original level 7 and 8 characters, Callisto and Venus, against the newcomers.
To wrap up the marathon, I create an uncheated Xena and see how far her skills can take her against the rest of the roster.
Featured Gladiators:
Medeia: Modified DLC slave-version (September 2025 Discord Mod).
Wonder Woman: Equipped with her signature sword and shield.
Fernando: A custom character based on my own likeness.
The Skeleton (Hell's Butcher): Fighting with only a kitchen butcher knife.
The Legends: Samurai Kenshin, Robot Gladiator, and the Beast Girl.
The Elite: Crixus, Aibell, and Ella in their high-stat gear.
The Veterans: Level 7 Venus and Level 8 Callisto.
Xena: The final uncheated warrior tested against the stable.

![Prelude To The Campaign - Faerun [Forgotten Realms]: Total War - Elves of Cormanthyr Lets Play #00
This is a prelude to the Elves of Cormanthyr Lets Play in which I will start a campaign in the Faerun [Forgotten Realms]: Total War mod or modification for the PC-game Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms, using the beta version 08 release of January 1st, 2026.
In this video I will speak the entire video and go through the playable factions, the history of the mod in a short fashion, tell you about the mods three campaigns and the differences and at the end of the video launch the campaign.
This video was originally a part of the first episode of the Elves of Cormanthyr Lets Play but I cut it out as it didnt really fit with the rest of the video.
Its a good introduction to the mod as well. Prelude To The Campaign - Faerun [Forgotten Realms]: Total War - Elves of Cormanthyr Lets Play #00](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TUDqt_Z0JYw/mqdefault.jpg)
