Early Access! Chapter 1: From Swineherd to Emperor
Added 2015-06-19 15:44:30 +0000 UTCUPDATE! New link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_2E0RxVHH4
How did a lowly swineherd's nephew rise to become one of Eastern Rome's most illustrious emperors? And how did that now illustrious emperor meet and marry an actress who had once been a prostitute?
Comments
I'm glad! The Eastern Roman Empire / Byzantine Empire is so often glossed over, but so full of interesting people and events, that we're excited to shine a little light on it.

2015-06-20 01:14:54 +0000 UTCSecrets revealed: Justinian is James's favorite emperor. We're pretty happy we get to cover him!
Extra History
2015-06-20 01:14:49 +0000 UTCWe had a lot of ground to cover before we could get into the meat of the story, and the fact that "Justin" and "Justinian" are such similar names (for obvious reasons) doesn't help. Hopefully once we hit episode 2 you'll start feeling the swing of things more. David's done some great work, especially with the upcoming battles!

2015-06-20 01:14:14 +0000 UTCI did not even know about that, but I wouldn't be too surprised if James did since he's a Total War nut.

2015-06-20 01:12:06 +0000 UTCI will! Always happy when our amazing artists get some love. <3 And I'll have an update for you about the Q&A later tonight!

2015-06-20 01:11:11 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, so awesome! I LOVE this period in history and these historical characters, and I love how you guys are handling them! :D Can't wait for more!

2015-06-19 22:39:19 +0000 UTCWow, that has to be one of the greatest episodes art-wise from the whole EC channel and I've been with you guys from day 1. The jokes and wordplay is very clever, the characters are very well drawn and they even got name tags so they can be clearly identified (I guess it's a lesson learned from the Japanese episodes).

2015-06-19 19:15:54 +0000 UTCSuperb episode! Give my regards to David, as he took some very difficult outfits and architecture and gave them their full glamour. I'm really excited for the Q&A, and for more episodes.
