I, Napoleon Bonaparte, will build up an army
that can take back the French motherland in only 100 days. If you are a man or woman of honor, then like
the video! It all started when I woke up on the island
Elba after I lost the battle near Waterloo. Of course, the Duke of Wellington had to rub
in his victory with a sign. They thought to banish me here, but Napoleon
Bonaparte won’t be stopped by anyone. Determined, I got myself the basic tools to
survive in this Mediterranean jungle. I needed cross over to the Italian Peninsula
as fast as possible. That notion was confirmed when I stumbled
onto native savages armed with spears that controlled ape-like beasts. I was not equipped to either fight or negotiate
with them, so I fled and discovered this cavern on accident. When I attempted to secretly escape with the
help of vines, a century spotted me, shot me and I died. But Napoleon Bonaparte is not stopped by death
and I started back at the beach. I didn’t have any inclinations to stumble
upon more of the natives in the night, so I made myself a bed and slept. On day two of the banishment, I found the
remains of the ship that had brought me here. It contained seeds and other useful tools. Hundreds of undead sprang an ambush on me
while I was looting, but my superior swimming skills were enough to escape the trap. On day three, I spotted a pirate hideout and
decided to try to rob the scoundrels of some of their loot. When I saw that they had hired some of the
savage natives to guard their safehouse, I quickly packed up my things and left as fast
as I could. For the rest of this day and the next day,
I fought my way through the jungle until I found the crossing over to Italy. The people there weren’t very welcoming. I did invade their entire country after all. When I had reached the border between France,
Switzerland, and Italy, I decided to settle down and gather a sufficient force to stage
another coup. Without supplies, no army is brave, which
meant that I first needed to establish a civilian-run base camp. On day five, I bested a beast that had set
up its lair nearby and I then went underground to find precious resources. On day 6, I crafted basic iron equipment and
an engineering table that would allow me to manage the equipment and supplies of my army. As I couldn’t depend on researchers to invent
better blueprints, I needed to research everything myself. That requires paper and more precious metals. I managed to get sugarcane the same day and
descended down into the dark maw of an underground cave system the next day to find the precious
medals.I found a lot of iron, gold, emeralds, an enchanted golden apple but most importantly:
6 food rations that would allow me to attract and recruit french citizens. I nearly died at the hands of monsters when
I emerged from the cave but lived to see the next day. On day 8, I crafted the research station I
needed to unlock knowledge of more buildings. I also got myself a full set of armor as I
didn’t want to get close to death again. On day 9, I started training three french
citizens that would be the initial backbone of the army encampment. I also placed down the command center which
I named, la Republique francais. The only problem now was that I didn’t have
enough paper nor String to advance my research. The string problem was quickly solved by fighting
monsters in the night. During that fight, I found an Italian border
outpost. I attacked the archers while they were focused
on the monsters, but was rundown by their cavalry. Although Napoleon may lose a fight, he never
loses a war. When their cavalry was eventually severely
wounded by the monsters and had to retreat, I stole all their equipment. I was eventually driven off, but I had won
the war. Now I only needed sugarcane to be able to
build a farmstead. Before I did that, I tamed this hunting dog. I named him Oscar. The next day, I set out with my boat to find
the sugarcane. During my exploration, I found this altar. A peek inside revealed mountains of gold,
gems, and other chests. All those riches would jumpstart the might
of my army. Lizardmen guarded the cave, but I used a nearby
lava source to flood the cave with molten stone. That worked quite well until I accidentally
fell into lava. I spent the next day trying to get my stuff
back and failing painfully each time. On day 13, I decided to stop the half-hearted
attempts and I equipped myself with new armor, weapons, and an enchanted golden apple. That did the trick and I finally killed off
the entire lizardmen population. I spent the rest of the day collecting all
the iron, gold, emeralds, diamonds, and gold coins. On day 14, I placed down the first farm and
employed my first camp follower, David, to work the land. I spent day 15 researching and luring a cow
into this animal-friendly enclosure. The farmer, David, would also get a spacious
room to protect him from the monsters during the night. My dog oscar handled himself quite well during
the customary monster hunt for string and together we slew one monster after another. When Oscar got low on health, I told him to
sit down and wait. Yet, when he thought that I was in danger,
he disobeyed my orders and jumped into the fray. He never stood a chance against the zombie,
but he attacked anyway. No, I am not crying. It’s the cold night air condensing on my
cheek. Without regard to my health, I slaughtered
all mobs that came into my way. Only the light of dawn pulled me out of my
craze. The only thing that was left was a void in
my heart. I approached the swiss town of Bern knowing
full well that the swiss would just ride me down. To my surprise, they greeted me and even invited
me in. I tried to provoke them by insulting them,
but they only laughed it off and offered me chocolate. The sugar refueled my determination and I
drowned myself in the work. I captured two additional cows and, on day
18, put down a mine and employed a miner. The next day, I increased the bounds of the
wheat farm and gathered materials. I went mining and found diamonds and a spider
spawner. Because the research needed a massive amount
of string the spawner was a godsend. I continued to farm string until I had no
more food. On day twenty, I finally unlocked the animal
farm and the tree farm which would provide a constant stream of building materials and
food. I also instructed my farmer, David, to work
both the wheat and the meat farm. He complained about having to constantly run
between the two stations, but the exercise will keep him sharp and healthy. On day 22, I went fishing to unlock the fishermen’s
hut and cool down a bit. I gave the miner diamond tools and increased
the area he could mine in. As the farmer, David, wasn’t producing enough
wheat to sustain our population, I had to gather more food the next day. With the food I had gathered, I crafted food
packs to train more citizens, gathered obsidian with a new diamond pickaxe, and fought cave
spiders. The next day wasn’t one of my best days. I was running low on gold, it’s one of the
main ingredients in training new citizens, and I thought to mine gold in the nether and
even used the last valuable gold I had left to craft gold boots so I wouldn’t get attacked
by piglins. *insert meme* Ah yeah, this is 1.12. I left the dimension disheartened, only to
be ambushed by an Italian elite squad. And after well being into the construction
of a spider farm, I realized that none of the later research needed string. When I came back to my village, everyone was
dead. I luckily still had a food pack leftover to
employ a priest who could resurrect everyone. The next day, I made the best decision of
my life. I finally crafted a fish farm. Because we were low on food, I built a stone
enclosure for the priest so he couldn’t get food when he got hungry. I told him he should take this as extended
fasting. On day 29, I placed cobblestone stairs all
over the hill, because the fisherman said that the slope was too steep. I also got another farm to hopefully increase
our wheat output. Finally, I set out to once again get enough
food to feed my workers. I hoped that the citizens would be less hungry
if they were content, so I decided to give in to their demands and free the priest from
his imprisonment. I also placed down beds which was well-received. *apologetic* Ok, there were complaints about
the positioning. I cleared out the land for the second farm
and went back underground to mine for the next two days. I found diamonds, a zombie spawner, but most
importantly, this skeleton spawner. The bonemeal should combat the food shortage
in the short-term. I also put up this enormous sign of masculinity
to mark the entrance to the spawner. When I confronted Gabriel, the fisherman,
about the amount of fish he had caught. To be exact, ZERO, he told me that he was
too embarrassed to admit that he didn’t know how to use a fishing rod. Instead, he usually uses a hoe to fish. In the beginning, I thought that he was joking,
but when he showed me how efficient he was, I let him do his own thing. The next day, I placed down another mine and
changed Johnson the lumberjack to Johnson, the miner. I can’t constantly run around and do menial
tasks like deliver food, I am the commander after all. So, I built a warehouse and drafted a courier,
Allard, to deliver all items automatically. Because food was already running dangerously
low, I imprisoned the priest, Baptiste, to save on food once again. After enchanting my gear, I gathered more
bone meal and levels. Remember how I said that employing that fisherman
was the best idea of my life? When I went down to check up on the result
of the fisherman’s hoe-fishing the next day and saw all the loot he had amassed, I
realized: All that fish is probably enough to feed this camp for two weeks, and Mother
Theresa, those are some strong enchantments. I immediately gave the fisherman a bounds
upgrade. My quest of gathering meat to craft more food
rations was somewhat hampered when I constantly got attacked by canons from a nearby pirate
island, but I survived. I then tore down the second farm and built
two new fishermen’s huts. Most of the five days were spent actually
teaching Allard, the courier, when where, and how much he should take. That embecile would just randomly start dancing
or be unable to walk up a simple ledge. Frustration pure et simple! After days of tedious work, the courier will
now fetch, deliver items, and cook items. To finish off the military base, I built this
aesthetically pleasing fisherman’s house. In the end, only one fisher actually wanted
to live in it, I have no clue why. This colony was now self-sustaining which
means we could now put all our focus on outwards expansion. We didn’t have any other choice as the Italians
would soon come to pay us a visit when they found out I had started a military camp in
their territory. West, pirates block the sea route. North, we have the threat of Switzerland. They wouldn’t allow my army not to speak
of my supply chain to go through their land into France. They are most certainly the most dangerous
foe and I will have to harbor good relations for now. My army would need a lot of swords and armor,
so I went cave diving once again. Only this time, I got blown up by a creeper. Because the farmer was a vegan, he hadn’t
killed any cows in the meantime and they even had started to climb over each other to escape
the small pen. I wasn’t able to find my body, so I had
to start mining all over again. When I came back, everyone apart from the
fishermen that had taken residence in the home I had built had died. I have to admit that I was gloating about
that fact. Although I could and did simply resummon them
with a priest it wouldn’t have been that easy if it had been a real attack. That is why I hired four warriors to protect
the village. For the rest of the day, I trained basic maneuvers
with my new troops. The literally most painful part of it all
was the fact that they constantly shot me in the back. That was unacceptable behavior. I promptly picked the worst offender and let
him drown to death which decreased the frequency of being shot in the back to zero. I also built a barracks where each soldier
would have to smell the other soldier’s feet. To finish my streak of building, I created
this magnificent building as the army center. I should have pursued the career of an architect
after all. When this hunting dog caught my eyes, I decided
that I had let the wounds heal for long enough. I named him ekil. You shouldn’t read the name backward. I trained with my soldiers for a good chunk
of the night until we had something that barely resembled a fighting unit. On day 54 of banishment, I set up a patrol
route for the guards and went mining for the next two days. When I resurfaced again, the only thing I
was going to need for the foreseeable were food packs. I had enough of all ingredients, except for
chicken breast. I had already feared that I had eradicated
the chicken population, but I was able to find two chickens. I also found this parrot. I named him leche-potte, because he has an
unnerving inclination of imitating creepers. On the following day, I got back to where
I had hidden the chicken with the intention of leading them back to the camp. That’s when it happened. *play to sad* Those were my chicken and I
was the only one who was allowed to kill them. It really showed me how petty the pirates
were. Now I was standing in front of a real dilemma
- I couldn’t start my chicken farm. My mind was temporarily taken off the mater
when I found that the fishermen had found a true treasure trove of weapons. What especially caught my eye was a power
5, flame, and infinity bow. After enhancing the bow with unbreaking and
punch, it truly was worth its name: La droiture. The first thing I did was go to the nearby
Italian border outpost and kill the knight that had run me down. If the opponents had no shields, they would
fall like wheat in the wind. On day 59, I went to the jungle, took out
a border outpost and one of the native villages. As expected, their loot was abysmal and the
only item of any value was this anvil. I also decided to pay back the pirates by
killing four of their members with my new bow. Finally, I successfully brought the chicken
back. Now it only needed to lay an egg that would
hatch. That couldn’t take long right? While I was waiting, I created the second
battalion’s town hall, the main force of my future army. On day 62 I had to break up a protest when
the soldiers demanded individual tents. A speech about we were going to reconquer
the motherland did the trick. On my quest for more chicken meat, I stumbled
across a bandit outpost, but most importantly, this ruin inhabited by giants. There were still remnants of the old sprawling
town remaining. A native told me that the giants had been
brought into the castle when a counselor tried to stage a coup-de’eta. He brought the giants in with a ramp, but
the giants didn’t let themselves be controlled and went on a rampage. The ramp was only on one side, so the giants
now had no way of leaving the castle. I left but ensured the natives that we would
come back. Not out of the kindness of my heart, but because
of the treasury that might be still untouched. On day 64, I once again marveled at all the
enchanted books the fishermen had found and used some of them. Finally, I decided to just start running until
I had half a stack of chicken breasts. Only on day 68 did I find chicken near a french
military encampment. It hurt to fight people from my country, but
chicken took priority. I stole one of the men’s horses and fled
the scene. Only when I saw the glorious gates of Paris
in front of me, did I realize how far I had traveled. As soon as I was in sight, I was bombarded
by catapults but managed to evade all attacks. When I woke up the next day, the horse I had
stolen was gone, but I didn’t care as I found more chicken in a nearby meadow. An ambush by some bandits actually came at
the ideal time as I was able to steal the horse of the bandit leader. With my new steed, I also made the French
soldiers look like fools as I evaded their strikes, shots, and bombardments, all the
while stealing their chicken. Because my horse had shown no sign of distress
during the entire fight, I gave him the name: “le grande cul” When the eggs the chicken
had lain until then didn’t yield any baby chickens, I gave the chicken incentives to
increase egg production. I crafted all the food packs I could for the
rest of the day. The next day, I went about cooking all the
massive amount of fish that the camp had amassed since my departure. On day 72, I placed down and equipped all
my future soldiers. The force would consist out of a few tanky
commanders, four medics and the rest of my army would use all the overpowered bows my
fishermen had found. I don’t think there is a bow in there that
is lower than power three. I finished equipping the troops the next day
and went to scout out our first target - The horseriding Italians. They had a strong cavalry that could evade
melee attacks by infantry. Luckily, my army was mostly comprised out
of archers. Deployment of the troops went smoothly and
I gave the last battle speech: “MEN, we are the french legion. Although you are stupid, please don’t be
as stupid as to shoot your own people.” I’ll let you guess what happened. At first, we successfully stormed the camp
and caught the enemy by surprise. Whenever someone would peek out of their tent,
he would be shot before he could blink. The only problem my army had that, just as
I feared, my men couldn’t handle the fire arrows. All of our casualties came from soldiers with
fire arrows setting his comrades aflame. In the turmoil of battle, someone actually
shot me in the back! The adrenaline rush of besting a dangerous
foe wiped away my anger. The loot of the Italians was amazing. All the food rations they had distributed
among their men would certainly fuel the growth of my army. The next day, I reequipped the fallen soldiers,
sorted the loot, and exchanged the flame bows with normal bows. Encouraged by my last victory, I went to the
last Italian town left standing. To my surprise, they were quite weak and I
killed them with my bow “la droiture” instead. I also increased the number of beds in the
town hall due to popular demand. The proximity would form a close bond between
my camp followers. I still needed to sharpen up and toughen the
troops, so I decided to fight the giants trapped in the castle. I deployed all the troops and gave the customary
speech. “Ok men, the Giants are trapped in the castle
all you have to do is shoot them from afar. Now, ATTACK!” I was close to losing hope in humanity at
that point. At least they weren’t setting each other
on fire. But everyone had been smashed into a pulp. Luckily, I had a priest with me who constantly
revived all the soldiers. My soldiers would now run towards the gate,
pick up a bow one of their comrades had dropped, die, revive and the cycle continues. It took them half a day to realize that they
could also shoot from afar with a bow. The battle dragged on for the next day, but
we were slowly getting into something that resembled a formation. Finally, the last giant fell as my soldiers
swarmed around him like ants. The next day, a creeper destroyed our military
base which meant that we couldn’t revive three archers, but I didn’t care. My eyes were focused on the treasury. I wasn’t disappointed. Not only did I find a diamond chest plate
and a diamond halberd, but also this totem of undying from a survivor still guarding
the treasury. When I asked for a reward from the townsfolk,
they said that they didn’t have enough food to feed their own children. Hmm. Lousy Excuse. Day 79 was spent bringing all the troops back
in fighting order. I also rewarded the first soldier that had
thought of shooting afar. As always there were of course soldiers that
tried to take some of the treasury’s riches for themselves. On day 80, I crafted everyone in my colony
a shield which I now realize I should have done much earlier. I also got more hunting dogs as Ekil must
have been quite lonely with me always being on-campaign. The next day, I expanded the warehouse and
the chicken finally laid an egg that hatched and I freed it from its torture. I also built this beautiful staircase to a
platform with my enchanting table and bed. Now my citizens could always look up to their
ruler literally. Although on second thought the staircase wasn’t
one of my masterstrokes. On day 83, I decided to pay the pirates on
the island a visit. Not only to get their gold but mostly for
the canon technology. If I wanted to capture the swiss castle, I
needed firepower. The loot on the pirate island was nice, but
I was unable to steal the stationary canons, only destroy them. And the pirate ship anchoring near the bay
didn’t even have cannons. So, we needed a replacement. Actually, you couldn’t call it a replacement,
because it’s ten times more cooler. GIANT TREBUCHET! So I spent day 86 researching the theory of
gravity, ballistics and advanced siege warfare. I needed more precious materials for the construction
of the trebuchet, so I went back down into the mineshaft to gather more materials. I finished the necessary research on day 87,
but had to go mining again when I realized how truly giant the trebuchet was going to
be. Finally, I crafted the trebuchet, but it now
needed ammo, the materials for which I gathered on day 89. The camp was a bustle as everyone felt the
crackling atmosphere of war in the air. I crafted myself diamond armor with full protection
5 enchants from the books the fishermen had found, but I needed to farm skeletons for
a while because I didn’t have enough levels. On day 92, the true preparations for War begun. I had no experience piloting a trebuchet and
so thought that the rumor that they shoot stones as far as 300 meters was a myth. I instead set up a totally inconspicuous platform
100 meters away from the swiss castle. I also drafted more men into my army. I had to ensure the swiss emissaries multiple
times that there was nothing fishy going on. Even when I placed down this beauty of a beast,
they still didn’t make a move. When I did some test shots, I finally realized
that the trebuchet really shot that far. I spent the next two days practicing the trebuchet
controls and building this military encampment. The swiss people were getting nervous, with
all the 45kg stones impacting only meters away from their castle, so I needed to act
soon. Finally, the day of the final battle had come. With the protective wall I had set up, the
enemies couldn’t see that I deployed troops. Only when I actually started bombarding their
castle with the trebuchet did the alarm bells ring. The knights protecting the base of the castle
were quickly overwhelmed. The archers on the tower though kept raining
down arrows. My initial plan had been to bring the tower
down with the trebuchet. But despite me hitting and breaking off a
sizeable chunk of the tower, it was somehow left floating. Now the only plan of action forward was to
storm the tower and potentially get ambushed. Together with my most trusted officers, I
did exactly that. I initially wanted to leave the princess alive,
but an officer of mine killed her in cold blood. Finally, we arrived at the top of the tower
where the swiss prince was making his last stand. He did manage to keep me suppressed in the
beginning, but he eventually fell to the tide of my men. We had won a battle, but not the war. That’s why I took the last days to frantically
research, gather materials and troops. After days of hard work, I have finally gathered
a fleet that can hold its own. Paris, I am coming. A big thank you for all your support on the
