Enemy Captain: "Alright men!" (turns and looks at the battlefield) "We will march over there to fight the enemy" (turns back to his 10 men squad) "Is that clea" (sees Pilps with an axe and drenched in blood, all of the squad is dead) Pilps: "HERE'S PILPS!"
Haha 😂 this is brilliant! I’m so pinning this!
@@Pilps Wow, thanks man! I'm glad you liked it!
The enemy captain soon-to-be-retired and PTSD already may God have mercy upon his wretched soul
@@mashedpota-toe2111 IT'S THE BUSHES MAN! STAY AWAY FROM THE BUSHES!!!
carpenter wasnt even a soldier. He was just a pissed off townsman who have had it with the battles in his backyard. He picked up his axe and his dads old blunderbuss and went ham.
That’s such a hilarious take on it all 😂
no one ever calls them, those carpenters. they just show up to battles, right as they get started. no one knows how they know when and where to be. and they aren't talking.
Carpenter for me he like Millitia or Guerilla Boi
A joke goes like this: A diary from WW2 was found in Poland. A guy who was in Polish resistance writes in it "Monday - we pushed Germans out of the forest Tuesday - we lost our base in forest due to Germans counterattacking us Wednesday - after heavy fighting we liberated forest from Germans! Thursday - Germans brought more forces, forest is theirs Friday - after careful planning we made Germans leave the forest Saturday - Germans went all in, we had to evacuate from forest Sunday - forester god fed up , took his double barrel, a broom and scared both us and Germans the hell out of his forest."

Pilps casually explaining how to be an absolut god in Holdfast Nations, came for the TW:Shogun2 stuff originally, but will definitely stay for further warcrimes
Aaaaaaye i appreciate it man! Always nice to see people giving my other content a chance that I spend just if not more time on as my total war stuff!
Same! Shogun 2 videos had me dying! Then I saw holdfast and was blown away!
Thank you! :D
"No, it's not an addiction." Bruh, you're basically Rogal Dorn's star kid. Fortifying a position is neuron activation to you.
It truly is aha 😅 I think he would be proud of me
basically every fortnite kid is rogal's follower
FORTIFY
@@ireallycant4416 No
@@ireallycant4416 Don't insult Rogal like that, nor his Imperial fists. They have standards
Pilps: no I don't have addiction of being a sapper. Immediately build a heavy fortified position. Plips: I have a problem.
I definitely have a problem
@@Pilps TLC my Strange addiction
It is at this time I realize, "The Carpenter" is not the name of the combat role. It's the nickname of that man in battle; for his weapon of choice is the giant Carpenter's Axe, which he will use to fell the trees needed for the caskets of his enemies.
Dude that’s a nice take on it! Or instead of wood he likes to make structures out of corpses with his axe 😂
The Carpenter: People are like trees. They fall down if you hit 'em with an axe.
So true aha
Ah, yes, our saboteurs make wooden structures, while our carpenters backstab the enemy frontline. They'll never see it coming.
Haha the roles are switched for reverse physiological warfare!
Phycological warfare in it's finest
Definetly!
Enemy player: "Only fool will bring a knife to a gun fight" Pilps *materializes behind him with an axe*: "Hey, Paul! >:3"
Haha 😂 “hehe axe go swing now”
@@Pilps Let me guess: You like Huey Lewis and The News?
I'm bad with names aha
Mad props to that guy at 10:55. He just saw his friend explode and he still went for the kill.
He panicked and thought, no time to switch, I must use the hammer!
We had the snow speaking Russian. Then the trees speaking Vietnamese. Now we have the bushes speaking Pilps.
Avoid the axe bushes if you know what’s good for you! 😎
And bush said "Boooooooom!"
Anyone: Oh you were a carpenter in the war? So you built things? Carpenter: Well no……
Heh heh 😈
Deconstructed really.
I feel like the Carpenter is supposed to represent Pioneers. A member of an infantry unit that's supposed to prepare roads and terrain for the main body of troops. Basically something of an anti-Sapper.
That makes sense, just the abilities described in the game is good at destroying enemy fortifications is a bit confusing aha
I actually enjoyed the explanation at the beginning. Not only is there entertainment but also education on how to properly play a certain class in the game. Keep it up Pilps, it really helps!
Thank you! I really enjoyed making it in this style! Might do it for all the classes!
@@Pilps If you do decide to go for it, then best of luck.
The Shining edit with the sapper head was hilarious! Great video!
Thank you! I had to put it in there!
The amount of chaos in the chat alone in this game is more hectic than the actual Napoleonic Wars
True, very true!
This is historically accurate, indeed most armies were comprised solely of carpenters with blunderbuss and axes.
Axe go BRRRRRR
the best part of it all is it just looks like some senile old man walked onto the battlefield and started blastin'
Haha 😂 that’s a funny image in my head, *he just wanted to join in on the fun*
Everybody quick! give me all your spare wood I need a new table
The Carpenter has destroyed my beloved table!
@@Pilps Sad but I need a new one tho
Can you imagine the PTSD of the soldiers that saw their friends heads get blown off by a bush? Then a guy with a giant axe runs out of the bush and starts decimating the rest of them
It honestly sounds so demoralizingly terrifying!
i blieve they should be call pioneers since that would makesensethey're like sapper but focused on wood working, i.e clearing trees, make tools to help assault fortifications like ladders, etc . it would explain the axe too
Yeah that would make more sense! Be cool if you could collect wood in game while in battle to build more fortifications
I can imagen that the carpenter is called that in the game because of the saying from german "die Axt im Haus erspart den Zimmerman" wich would be more or less translated to "the axe in the house/home save(in economic sense) the carpenter".
That’s kinda a cool fact I didn’t know, thanks for sharing!
Accuracy is for nerds I'm glad Philps has taken the Blunderbuss pill
Blunderbuss go *BRRRRRR*
I do enjoy the ridiculous community for Holdfast. I often wonder if the developers had any idea it would be like this or if they thought people would take this game more seriously.
The games community is so memey! And I think the devs didn’t expect this considering their trailers for updates etc are very serious 😂
Its just about the same as Warband NW You have the memers on public lobbies and the roleplayers on others
Yasss some more battle field mayhem with Pilps to start 2022, missed you mate!!
It’s good to be back with the first video of the year! Glad you enjoyed the video
Your voice is downright therapeutic mate. And all due kudos on turning what is literally a gun permanently equipped with the 'loudener' from the simpsons into a stealth weapon. Carpenters are the main reason I preventively bayonet or shoot at bushes.
Dude thank you because I genuinely hate my voice aha! Dude I get bush PTSD whenever I’m NOT a Carpenter 😂
@@Pilps I'm not nearly social enough to play Artillery with strangers. But I have played it once with a few friends of mine. One of us specifically said "we should fire a round into that little sprig on a hill near our own frontline" and we were like "...well alright then, you're the boss" - YEP! Carpenter! It's like 'Nam, except you're playing Monty Python's "how not to be seen" guide. And blowing up bushes *just in case*. Absolutely love this game.
Virgin sapper: Nooo you can’t fight me yet, I don’t have my cannon up!! Chad carpenter: TENNO HEIKA BANZAI
Haha this is so true!
I play HF a lot. And i rewatched this video like 5 times already. The narration is flawless and editing is beautiful. Well done Mr.Pilps
8:00 Never forget this brave mad lads sacrifice o7
It was totally worth it!
He just shows how to be a big boi in games
A big bush boi ;)
This game is incredibly fun to watch, great video as always master Pilps.
It’s great to play too! And thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Mic spamming in this game was always something that brought me back and when sappers builds chair and mic spamming weaboo just sits on it it's just a pure gold
Gotta love this games community!
As I always say great video bro :) I’m glad to see that you still making cuality videos
Thank you for the kind words man! Glad you enjoyed it 😎
I can't wait for all the carpenter slots to be all taken after this video next time I play holdfast
Haha 😂 if that’s actually true I’m going to laugh my ass off
enemy squad: 15 soldiers pilps: I LIKE THESE ODDS
Blunderbuss go *BRRRRRRRRRRR*
Genuinely one of your best videos!
Thank you! I really appreciate that, i enjoyed the narration side of it! maybe i should do more videos in this style!
thanks for the midnight entertainment man. quality service as always
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Lovely video as always, next class you should do a video on is Hussar, Flagbearer and guard/gren.
I plan on doing a couple of videos on classes etc!
Love the shennanigans! Great video as usual!
Thanks man!
i’m so glad you uploaded i love holdfast and carpenter. much love pills ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting too :D
@@Pilps ofc man! pilps* btw lol
Intro was pretty cool, nice video man
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I have the same addictions, these two classes keep me playing. When i finally have to play line men, disgruntled at first, but I suddenly remember its an entire other fun game mode lol.
glad i found this video. i got top of the scoreboard for the first time going 14/2 using carpenter
Enemy: "There's a guy under the bridge!? What!?" Plips: "No."
Another great content, thanks for upload
Thanks for commenting the kind words and watching!
Hearing your voice more and more in these Videos makes me realise how great you are getting at this stuff, keep it up man and praise our Sapper addiction!
I personally hate my voice but I’m enjoying the new style of content! Will definitely be doing more videos in this style I think!
Got a beer and pilps vid damn hell yes. Greart video hope all is well.
Hope that beer was good and you enjoyed the video! Thank you, it’s going great, hope all is well with you too!
I just love this new comment part before main video, I think that you should have more of these.
I did enjoy making it like this! I think I will for some future videos!
This is what Total War Napoleon looks like from the single infantry soldier perspective

Hilarious compilation! Downloading this game.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! And nice! Hope you enjoy the game!
Another meme-filled masterpiece. Well done. How did you stay alive for that long while AFK, though?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it also I have no idea aha 😂
We need the OFFICER experience XD lord forgive your soul for the type of leadership comin out in THAT video haha
Oh dear yea you’re right!
@@Pilps the Holdfast radio operator experience where you record all the epic moments people blast silly music through their mics XD itll be demonitized for sure but youll get a ton of viewers from it
Shotgun ninjas are underrated
Perfect description of the carpenter!
Hilarious, loved every second!
Thank you! :D
One of my favorite things to do as carpenter is hitting people behind cover sometimes due to the drop on the blunderbuss being so heavy
Wait that’s a thing?!
great content as always. 10/10
Thank you!!
Carpenter was my favorite class to play when I played holdfast. Its nice counter to horses.
"Blend with the ambient" Stands beside a Grey wall while wearing a fuking Blue Pajama and Black cap, reloading a mini Cannon
Hence why i say the playerbase have the worse awareness skills in any game aha
Good video :D you make my day better :D
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
that was super pro. thanks for the share
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
7:40 My favorite part
I have an addiction to Pilps video.
Aaaaaaye the real MVP
Damn posting this while I am stressed out with my studies is a god send more holdfast content please I already watched most of your content and I am running out of video to watch
Thanks for the kind words and don’t get too stressed out with studies you’re doing great!
Thanks for the video.
Instantly subscribed.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
Everyone is gangsta until Pilp start carpentering
Stay away from my bushes if you know what's good for you!
@@Pilps I know but do you?
The carpenter is a naval thing. Iunno why he's in the land mode, but the name is accurate as in reality he would be on a ship wedging holes, improvising new yards and so on, hence the axe. (And the blunderbuss, although not specific to one man on a ship, would be used for repelling boarders.)
That's pretty neat! Thank you for the cool facts
Gonna be honest: this is the video that make me got the game and i have to admit: axe goes brrrr
The shining part was by far the best lmao
Carpenter best class of the game. I love playing with his extra thicc gun (blunderbuss) and big axe (spray).
Nothing more satisfying than getting multi kills with the blunderbuss!
I just wish I could change the axe to hammer so i could go on an Priest of Sigmar rampage :p Great video and as one british general in ww1 said: CARRY ON.
That would be sweet! We have darktide too look forward to that though!
Imagining redcoats throat singing into battle changed my life
Awesome I must have played with you, Always seeing soldier Bob!
Small world! Glad you enjoyed the video
@@Pilps it's funny how we all had high hopes for 2042 and then just go back to holdfast 😂. It shows how gameplay and an funny community makes it awesome. Pilps ☺️
The absolute death you can bring in this game with well placed cannons and men, is just *pleasing*
When a team probably co-ordinates and has classes actually fulfilling their roles is a beauty to witness and be a part of!
You forgot the best part. Getting a whole group of carpenters to charge the enemy screaming WAAAARRRRRG
Some Vietcong-style, a tree can talk. I love it sir
Vietcong warfare in the napoleonic era!
@@Pilps hope you can made a video with this "a tree can talk" style sir
Other title for vid: 'when bushes start shooting back with gunpowder weaponary and how it feels to play psycho in the napoleonic wars all in 1 video'.
A bit long but definitely fits the description 😅
He's back 🤘🔥🔥🔥
Aaaaaye, hope you enjoyed the video
I hope you quit the you tub but you did not quite 😓
Perfect. Now I can roleplay as a certain Irishman whose an expert at soldiering.
Haha 😂
@@Pilps Ey. You watch Sharpe?
Carpenters were part of armies back then, they were paid for things like gun stock repairs, even furniture repairs for officers. Its odd they included such a specific thing in a war simulator game though, because its not like they included a prostitute class
Pretty cool! I was mainly nit picking the classes abilities clashing with its name rather than the class as a whole! Prostitutes? Now that’s an idea!
@@Pilps AOE attack giving all nearby men the pox 😂
I love the thumbnail pic its reference to the shining movie
Philips in every holdfast game: I AM FORTIFYING THIS POSITION!
I fortified my axe into their skulls!
Gentlemen? Edit: Just switch the axe with a switchblade and you got that going.
Gentlemen? Nemeltneg
Enemy:there's a guy under the bridge Pilps: *no*
Haha 😂 I couldn’t let that information get out!
I'm early today 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 happy to see a new video bro
Aaaaye thanks for the kind words, hope you enjoy it!
Glory Glory!
Glory to the blunderbuss!!
6:35 'When in tf2 you hiding behind a object cloaked as the spy and then an enemy spy runs into you by accident' the napoleonic wars era colorized.
Dude so true!!
I think you should get a sponsorship from the devs with how much you make me want to play this.
Dude that would be brilliant aha, or my own in game item! We should play some time together!
I definitely know how much you like sappers XP Glory be to gunpowder and our overlord Pilps. -The Patriarch of Constantinopilps
Constantinopilps, I like that! Thank you for the kind words
@@Pilps Yes, it's also the role you gave me on your server LMAO
7:20 has gotta be the best Explosive Barrel I've ever seen. Wiped half the enemy team through a wall.
Yeah a lot of buildings don't register explosive barrels being contained within their walls so any unlucky sods on the 2nd floor or just outside are in their blast radious!
this video has my favorite thumb nail of all time
Haha, thank you!
I loved this video
I still don't understand what this channel is about, but I already subscribed
Yes another episode!
Aaaaaaayeeeee
I started playing sapper and carpenter after seeing this vid. My sapper experience so far has been that it's hard to get kills for most part outside of melee. Axe is far superior imo. The blunderbuss iver shot so many up close straight in their body and miss somehow. Sometimes same exact thing but I manage to hit a guy off to the side behind them due to the spread lol (edit: the axe swings 3 directions now, haven't tested if it's one hit kill on side swings yet but the overhead always is)
Enemy Commander- Right lads we got guns, sappers, marksman, dragoons what makes them think they stand a chance? Soldier- Uh, Sir they got that axe wielding maniac. Enemy Commander- RETREAT! RUN FOR YOUR LIFES!
HEEEEEEEEEEERES CARPENTER!!
So, he is literally a vietcong rpg with double barrel shotgun from Rising Storm 2 Vietnam
Holy shit you’re right
@@Pilps Everybody gangsta till bushes starts speaking
My best carpenter round was on Desert Ruins Siege mode as defenders. I spawned from B and ran to the attacker's palisades anyone that got in my way was turned into swiss cheese. I got there and axed a few line inf and riflemen then destroyed the sapper's palisades, while I was chased I was cutting people that got a tad too close. In total I slaughtered at least 13 people. The class is so fun and rewarding and... And hol' up... DIdn't I see you being a naughty sapper on Fort Darial >:/ I swear I keep seeing you in the corner of my eye! Edit: *It's one of the funnest maps to play as Carpenter or Sapper. I think I've even posted screenshots of Hussar holding a blunderbuss hehe* AGS PLEASE GIVE HUSSAR A BLUNDERBUSS NOTHING WRONG WILL COME OF IT I SWEAR! THEN GIVE US AN ELEPHANT WITH MOUNTED SWIVELS
I agree with all this comment! And you probs have saw me in game aha, especially if i was on a swivel cannon! That match sounds amazing! GG!
One time I got a 174.6 Meter kill with the carpenter's blunderbuss. It was during a naval event and was hilarious.
That's insane! Very based
