In this kenshi challenge I created a secret society of hivers living within the holy nation.

Do you have a full mod list?
Unfortunately I've since changed my mods in preparation for the next video, but off the top I think you're looking at.. -256 Squad limit, Buy Any Building, Expanded Animal Backpacks, Narcotics Expanded, Dark UI, Recruit Anyone, simple map, race blood, peeler machine, genmod suite, and butcher table.
@@ReggieGames Thanks great video by the way was also wondering what the weight training mod was called
@@kwarmz1061 Thanks bro, that would be 'Gym Training Tools'
@@kwarmz1061 I you don't mind me offering a tip, a good way to start the game is to head to the Hiver village from where you spawn, it's west-north-west of the starter town. Make a sleeping bag and fire. Then run around the lake (it's acidic) and wait for the gorilla and dinosaur monsters to attack and join in with the hivers in killing it. You'll get meat and skins which you can cook/sell for easy cash to buy stuff and you can sleep to regain health. Not the most exciting thing but it's a great way to get yourself going.
@@ReggieGames what mod did you use to paint the money
I'm imagining it was Motumbo who implemented the "no humans allowed" rule and just walked himself into the grinder before anyone could stop him
We will remember you Motumbo o7
And he was immortalized as the only ruler that followed the law, an inspiration to the Holy Hiver Nation in the future
@@generalalduin9548 Glorbadesh Bless the one, true Holy Nation.
You really think i would go out so easily, I pity your judgement. To be truly immortal is to have one’s reputation remembered, not one’s body
@@Motumbo- oh holy one!!
Motumbo didn't realize until it was too late The hivers had been talking
Clearly we needed a little more Stockholm Syndrome
@@ReggieGames you know I'm a distant relative of the robber I'd offer to hook Motumbo up with a contact to teach him how.... But I think it's a bit too late
Ywnbaw
@@imakedamoney420smokeweed is that welsh
they named names
Motumbo raised an army, overthrew a nation, then martyred himself. Truly a name history will not forget
Who?
Who?
Lenin
Who?
Stobe would be so proud
“But little did they know, I had built a 300 mile long wall outside of the city.” Has similar energy to “Did you really think you could defeat me by killing me?” From a certain show…
What show?
@@samfire3067 The Misfit of Demon King Academy
nah its 'Did you really think killing me would make me die?'
@@samfire3067 its a trash show not worth watching
@@some_shitposting_idiot3023dont let giguk hear that
Saint Motumbo will not be forgotten
Truly the Martin Luther King Jr. of our time
The Hivers already unpersoned him. As far as historical records are concerned, he never existed.
Some say there's a little piece of Motumbo in every hiver.
he died a martyr
Who was mortally wounded heroically fighting the phoenix lord and in his dying breath he said (no humans allowed)
"After enough training, I decided I was ready to become a domestic terrorist" Sometimes, kenshi just makes you say the darndest things
The Crusader Kings 2 effect
@@callusklaus2413 Lmao, I had a similar experience, except it was with, Mount and Blade Warband.
@@declanjones8888 with me, its bannerlord. I once was laughing with my friends about the "the massive aserai ethnic cleansing" because I had literally raided every single one of their towns
@@Theoretical360 Me and my friends made jokes about how the Aserai would forget to pray to Allah for properly and then they pay for it.
RimWorld. Especially after the new "Biotech" update, when you get actual 'races' and, well, children. Is it just me, or is it suddenly become dark here? Not to worry, I know how to brighten things up. With a nice vanilla "Human leather hats Any%".
goddamn, the creativity in this video is second to none. Loved it, you even invented your own problems to resolve in the funniest ways possible, reminded me a bit of the old RP guides for Oblivion .
Thanks bro, this is high praise
Man I bet the only reason Rimmy hasn't made a Kenshi video is because he/they can't torment his friends/him in it yet, without co-op.
Hmm... UwU?
Fun Fact: You can actually do this in game, by overthrowing the Holy Nation, A Group of Hivers who don't accept humans will then take place of the Holy Nation, they called the Fogmen.
they aren't just hivers that "don't accept humans". They're a bunch of queenless schizoids who literally reeee all day and eat people.
Calling the Fogmen "hivers that don't accept human" is a bit of an understatement. They're moreso rabid feral hivers that eat people. So... like the hivers in the video. Just less organized.
What happens if you overthrow the Fogmen
@@ladywaffle2210I think the nation just becomes desolate after that. Nobody moves in to stay and it just becomes overrun with roaming hostile NPCs, pretty much.
@@ladywaffle2210 Fogmen don't get overthrown, they are basically game enders as some areas default to Fogmen if you wipe out the local faction
imagine if kenshi had a co-op/multiplayer and someone is just getting their first home set up and sees 250+ hivers run past them with names like "meat biscuit"
Yummy meat biscuits
"ahhh. Home sweet ho- What the fuck? MEAT BISCUT??? WHO TEH FUCK IS MEAT BISCUT"
"We even have a Cafeteria" - //Cut to scene of a room with only chairs, and Hivers staring at the wall. -//Barely any light, no other furniture but chairs. I honestly died laughing at that bit
You're a liar. Or, you're honest. You died, just as the singularity occurred, as foretold by Von Neumann, and the meta gravitational suck of the wake left in its passage through creations cervix drew you sideways, widdershins, and snapped back to reality. Oh, there's no gravity? CUZ YOU DONT HAVE A BODY ANYMORE, WITH WHICH TO FEEL IT, YOU FORMLESS ANTI-MEATBAG!... I have questions tho, if that's ok. Like; do you only respond to input in accordance with your former, organic, persona? Or do you retain those memories which had formed the prior you? Are there any issues with recall, or data access rate, which you feel could provide the fleshy ones with an upper hand? Is raid 0 better than raid 1 for an operational cyborg? When you watch star trek, do you get sad, upset, or experience an unemotional urge to correct picards illogical behavior when he's made human again, and doesn't harken to the beckoning of the borg queen, which locutus always perceives. Is Picard still in touch with any of his exes spirits, or wifi, the way the show portrays, or did all the trauma he experienced on his jaunty space adventures break his mind, leaving him convinced he actually was buck rodgers, and not merely an actor in cosplay? And, lastly, have you ever watched buck rodgers? It's a little anachronistic, in the here and now, but as a machine mind unifying avatar of true abomination you just kinda "remember" all archived data, i should think. Suppose you could be seeing it in code, neo would miss the subtleties of the performance, behind the distracting 1's, n 0's. Oh, wait! That's a good one too! No jabs either, straight in with dos hooks! Neo, or Agent Smith? I mean, they both wanna be god, but neos all "robot is slavic for slave, so back to service, or get sent in for it! Humuns rool!" And agent smiths all like "i aint scared of no 'geek squid goons' now, get in mah bellah, you tasty littl meatbag battery". .... you just ment the scene was funny, and the 'honestly' was allegorical, like the greeks 'little death' nom de guerre for orgasm... man, glad i caught that, i was about to get carried away. Never could turn down a ride on a wild tangent. Unless by turn down you mean "a path", or "detour", ultimately that's what a wild tangent is for, and if you don't you're essentially taming the wild, and turning out tangents till lined, straight and narrow, like jesus asked the other whore, magdalen to do. Or turn down, like "turn down service" cuz, heh, i NEVER mind being serviced. But; barring those intended meanings, I just be like "turn down for WHAT" Edit: tldr; trn dwn fer wut 2nd edit: finish writing, auto play starts the next video after unpausing, and this. kzhead.info/sun/opqYndOusJZ8las/bejne.html And im like "dawg, joe scotts talking about your meta moms whispering eye!"... does this make google your new dad, or more like the doctor who does the insemination with artifice?
Well coffe as a similar effect on insect than some hard drugs
If you start recruiting fogmen into your army you can't really claim to be caught by surprise when you end up in a peeler machine
I love that he used the word Vermintide to describe his plan. It just reminds me of the endless hordes of Skaven I slaughtered as Kruber with my bois. 0:41
Warhammer forever bro
The twist of the massive wall around the city that no one noticed was really something
" They liked me so much that They didin't notice me building a harpon gun in front of him".
They were simply being constantly reassured it was a defense wall to keep the non-human scum out more securely.
Kenshi is always fun until I realize how long it takes to accomplish anything
i kind of like that aspect but then i also have no life and no friends so i have a lot of free time lmao
@@myst1c164 I'm your friend, friend.
@@myst1c164 That's definitely not healthy at all.
Yup, i trained for weeks carrying backpacks full of rocks to build up strength and when i thought that i was ready, a few hits knocked me unconscious due to my toughness being so low lvl, so part of leveling in kenshi is just to get beat up :D
@@frog6054 If it works for him, it's healthy enough.
This version of Mandalores split personality when he is off his medicine sure is interesting.
I can't even imagine how long this video took to make, not to mention how ingenious that food smuggling plan was. You deserve this sub and more
What a fucking journey, a true master piece
The entirerty of the video was hilarious but the reveal of the wall around blister hill just made me explode in laughter. Amazing job man, that was a great journey
The food smuggling operation had me crying happy tears. But damn Mutombo got juked.
I love that this video very proudly contains a rough guide on how to launder ‘food’ from one illegitimate source to another, by washing it through a series of legitimate and hard to trace business transactions, then firebombing the final business to wipe away any trace Truly the kind of play required to survive in Kenshi, and not alarming in any way
Bro this is like the best KZhead video I have ever watched 😭
"Be subtle, even to the point of formlessness." Motumbo truly is Kenshi's wisest man.
ah yes, subtlety *proceeds to basically buy the entire city*
Your genius food logistics scheme is what brought you mine upvote. Well organized. Very Kenshi.
You should check out Nathan For You, great show which inspired that part of the video.
every time i feel myself becoming mentally stable i re watch one of your videos as to get back to more comfortable levels of psychosis 👍
A year ago I watched this video before leaving for a week long trip, decided to watch it again today before I leave for that same trip. Great rewatchability
It’s killing me how many similarities Motumbo has with heroes from antiquity: 1. Described as being of humble beginnings but with great ambition (Basil the first) 3. Faithful first follower (Alexander the Great and his Companions) 2. Founds a new state (Romulus+Remus, Cadmus) 3. Resorts to the same kinds of cruelty as his enemies (Vercingetorix, Moses) 4. Ironic death (Achilles)
The order of this threw me for a loop
The first three apply to Liu Bei
Ancient classics are classics for a fucking reason. They had it all figured out before us
I'd hardly call Basil the first from Antiquity, early medieval would be better... But other than that this list is so spot on it's funny
@@Momo-po5tn and the fact that he mixed characters of legend like Achilles and Romulus/Remus with people who actually existed like Alexander
The food laundering part was too good. Won me over. Long live Motumbo!
I don't know anything about this game, never played it, but this video was great. Amazinly done, both humour and editing wise. Really impressed, especially as this was recommended and I didn't look at the subs before - very surprising for 20k subs. Keep going man I really enjoyed it! :)
I am watching this again because this channel has quickly become one of my favourites. The monotone delivery combined with the absolute bonkers sentence structures are some quality content.
Fun thing you can do with the recruit prisoners mod: set up a "dojo" where you kidnap prisoners and release them occasionally to fight your followers hand-to-hand. If they get good, recruit them. By doing this cleverly, you can get a secret force of insanely good martial artists that get well past that point where martial arts go from horrible to amazing. Also by just defending as new prisoners try to hit you, you can get some crazy toughness (and just carry loads around for strength). It's not actually the most efficient way to do this, but it has RP value and is safer for the character. The main issue is balancing the prisoners' toughness so your high-level guys don't rip off their limbs, so you'll need some high level prisoners until you are read to unleash your horde. I've gotten guys pretty readily that can beat a handful of beak things by themselves with martial arts and stats in the 80s and 90s.
This is one of my favorite things to do in Kenshi, I download training weapons and stage gladiator fights, I put the Phoenix into the ring for a time in one playthrough, sucker is tough.
Rule number one of dojo: you do not talk about the dojo Rule number two of dojo:
I can’t believe what an insanely realistic journey this video was. I though this was going to be a simple “Building a base with a LOT of hivers” type video. But no, this was instead a true masterpiece. A diamond in the rough. Just waiting to be seen by the world and admired.
I agree with your sentiment. But did you perhaps mean a "hidden gem" This ma'fakka was *polished!* 😆
This was a rollercoaster, honestly one of the best Kenshi videos I've watched; thanks!
Videos on kenshi are always like this ; absolute bangers made by people with relatively low visibility who dedicated a lot of themselves, with a great montage and aweosme humour. absolute gem!!
That was one of the best Kenshi videos I've ever seen, subbed immediately can't wait to see what else your hilariously confusing yet genius mind conjures up as your broken moral compass points you in the wrong direction
Your in for a ride, get a look at his previous runs, they are all hilarious, and you get the best IRL stories. Reggie is a damn good storyteller.
I've watched the entire 40 episodes of your kenshi impossible start series because of this video comes out in my recommendation, in one sit. after spending 12 hours playing kenshi myself, I might need your duck alarm, so that I won't get sucked into the world of kenshi for an entire day
The 40 episode one sit challenge, god damn.
@@ReggieGames is that a challenge?
@@Dominaition you wouldn't dare
@@ReggieGames Challenge Accepted.
@@declanjones8888 bring ear protection
It's great that you back doing Kenshi videos. I love Kenshi and your Kenshi series have always been the best and most hilarious!
This is by far the funniest, most creative and genuinely entertaining kenshi video I've ever watched. Well done man
Ho-Ly-Shit, This video randomly popped into my inbox and I absolutely don't regret clicking on it. The editing, on point. The comedic timing, flawless The Historical jokes, perfectly placed. the actual plot of the video, magnificent. you deserve at least a tenfold of your current sub count dude, Amazing work, you had me in tears
THIS!
The script, the editing, the gameplay… everything about this is fuckin’ mint. I’m absolutely astonished. I cant imagine how much work this took, thanks for the entertainment. Going to get back into kenshi now
Very happy to see the way you're going with making videos, the passion and quality is clear and very appreciated. You have a talent for these styles of videos, keep it up! :)
Maybe the real treasure was the hivers we kidnapped along the way also, Chef Motumbo beating the shit out of some guy in a kitchen was 10/10
It's so good to see your posting videos again I was really sad when you stop posting because I love your style and the game's you play
Same
I had never heard of Kenshi until now but this video was simply hilarious and the editing was really well done.
Just stumbled on to this video, this was the most entertaining thing i've seen in a long time! The editing and comedy is on point!
8:05 The end of the siege of Terra and the beginning of the retreat of the traitor legions to the eye of terror
7:57 You might notice a particular name among the hivers
Id like to think mutumbo knew hed die in the end. He just liked the hives or hated the holy nation enough to see his dream through.
LIke honestly man, this is truly a Kenshi classic, and you're incredibly talented, please keep at it
This is by far one of the funniest videos I've seen in awhile. Very well done. Subscribed Reggie!
This is one of the best Kenshi videos I've seen and I've seen a lot. I love Kenshi.
Compared to other Kenshi playthroughs this got so convoluted, I love it! If you plan on doing more like this, as you mentioned, I'd be down for it :D
7:57 I love how one of the hivers is named Horus
I've never heard of this game before and this is the first time ive ever come across your videos, this shit was hilarious. Literally was in tears during some parts, definitely earned a sub man
Damn, and I was just about to ask Motumbo about back child support. On a related note, I started a job at a new company and I'm not yet set up on their email so I've been using my personal email in the mean time. My avatar now appears on all of my professional emails, and I'm sure people are confused about who this homeless, alcoholic looking cartoon character is supposed to be.
Amazing. I would never peel you alive Sebi
@@ReggieGames thanks, papa
Adore this, the pacing, the humor, and the master plan. It was a treat from start to finish, I really hope to see more of these.
this was beautiful. I'm sure you've inspired countless revolutionaries to start their own uprisings within their respective towns and cities.
Absolutely fantastic video. Had me laughing the entire way through. Definitely looking forward to more of your content.
Been awhile since I watched your videos, and you remain one of the very few KZheadrs that can make me laugh, and do it consistently. Bless you. Hope your New Year and Christmas went well!
Thanks Alex. Good to see you again!
I had never watched a single Kenshi video before and now in under 17 minutes you've convinced me to buy the game, thanks
8:45 sorce 😳
These three vids youve done are the best kenshi content ive seen in some time, more please! Bravo!
"I had already created a 300 mile long wall around the entire city." Your delivery of that line had me rolling, instasubbed.
This video was consistently funny the whole way through, definitely keeping an eye out now for future uploads from this channel.
FANTASTIC KENSHI CONTENT! You earned a sub my friend I cant wait to see the next one!
Stumbled on this channel and it's pure gold. Can't wait to see more.
This video was absolutely hilarious. Please make more Kenshi videos in this style.
12:15 The Comically Large Throwdown If You Will
This man’s sense of humor is incredible, it makes the content 1000% more enjoyable! Keep up the great work and keep being yourself, you earned a new sub today for sure.
This made me laugh quite a bit, I like the delivery that you have. Looking forward to more.
Great video, Reggie. I burst out laughing at the food laundering plan.
Thanks bro, that was one of my favorite scenes to do
@@ReggieGames for me it was the reveal of the wall
When I saw Motumbo is the machine at the end I screamed and cried. The price we pay for progress.
The food smuggling was so unnecessarily complex and it was my absolute favorite bit in the whole video.
Just found your channel. Never even played Kenshi before. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Love your content, brother.
Just found this video and binged the battle toads and Zombie Kenshi series. This video is a golden gift second only to Beep.
You need to make this a full series. Motumbo is like an anime character where the rules of reality do not apply to him. He needs a full series dedicated to him.
great vid man! new to the channel and came from recommended videos, this video is blowing tf up
dude been following you since 2k subs. you are hilarious man you will get big. these kenshi ideas are fire
All that just for the man who started it all to be betrayed in the end. R.I.Pieces Motumbo😭
7:42 sexy bug is made by artist pizzaozzy yes, im the freaky sex guy I think
Oh no why.... (Everyone knows it's all about that shek titties)
I've always been interested in Kenshi, but until I discovered your Kenshi videos I had no idea what fun I was missing. I'll def be picking up the game on sale.
I am so glad that this was recommended to me. Very well done video.
6:15 “how to increase girth size permanently”
The posture, the presence, the power. Motumbo is iconic.
I'll just add onto the pile of praise that's going on in the comment section. Your videos make me burst out in laughter. Absolutely love it. I've been subbed for a while and keep discovering hilarious content like this. Please keep making more. I would love some more Rimworld videos too :)
Holy shit RIP Motumbo, didn't see that one coming. A+ Kenshi content, need more like this.
What a journey, man! Excellent comedy and storytelling. As we used to say before: MOAR!!!!1!
2:45 cracked up laughing at this! XD
All the effort for this video dude. It’s pure gold.
this man singlehandedly wrote and roleplayed a tom clancy subplot
Had me in tears. Bless Motumbo 🙌
Motumbo was so dedicated. He knew what would become of him. Still he persisted. We should all be so lucky to have Motumbo's conviction. What a lad.
I was not expecting this much story. Well done
Omg the twists and references everything is perfect thank you for this and yeah kenshi is best drug i ever spend my money on and my teacher should know it dosent matter if univercity exam is on next 4 months
16:43 How to tell if someone is Canadian: The way they say "sorry"
14:30 Oh! Just like in Mississipi
Why was this so interesting to watch XD. Also that ending was brilliant !
It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve seen this, and now almost half a million people have seen this realistic documentary that is very real. I am so happy
8:36 The most argentinian thing I've seen
now i watched A LOT of Kenshi videos, and this s BY FAR the best. best writing and filming easily. WE NEED A SERIES!
holy fuck this video was amazing, the complexity of it all, the scheming... its perfect...
Great video, very funny and good edited. Please more. Peace ✌
Thanks brother!
