The Wise Coffin

The Wise Coffin was a Portuguese YouTuber who focused on Total War content. He had 3 main series: Narrative Let's plays, Historical Documentaries, and Total war mod overviews. He also did various rants on certain subjects, Such as the new time commanders season. The Wise Coffin would periodically delete all his videos for a "fresh start" - this would result in most of his videos being lost. On 20 March 2018, The Wise Coffin deleted his channel, Having 1,082 subscribers at the time of deletion. His reported intention was to create a new channel in the future, Which would aim history at a Portuguese audience.
==History==
===Seasons 1-3===
Socialblade statistics  indicate massive drops in total views in March 2015, September 2015, and September 2016. This suggests that there had been at least 3 seasons before the September 2016 - March 2017 season.
===Season 4 - Mod Overview series and Narrative Let's plays===
Season 4 began in September 2016, when the channel began uploading its Total War Mod Overview series. These focused on various Total war mods, Including Genghis Khan: Total War, Ogniem i Mieczem: Total War, Rome: Total War zombie mod, Medieval 2: Anatolian Principalities, Medieval 2: Santa Invasion and Medieval 2: Sigh of Empires.  In this era, The Wise Coffin also had a podcast named "Wisecast" and narrative Let's plays, One of which focused on Hyrule: Total War.
===Season 5 - Documentaries and Vlogs===
On 10 March 2017, The Wise Coffin decided to delete all his videos for a fresh start. Most of these videos are lost. He stopped making Total war mod overviews, But he continued making his less popular Narrative Let's plays. He also started making documentaries (most of which have survived). These documentaries would cover various units of the Achaemenid army, Including the Sparabara, The Thanvabara, The Asabari, and The Takabara (In that order).
===Season 6 - History is the Future===
In July 2017, The Wise Coffin once again resetted his account, Intending to make way for a new "History is the Future" series, Which recreated various historical wars. These included the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Campaign against Dong Zhuo . Both of these series have been archived.
===End of the channel===
On 14 March 2018, The Wise Coffin announced the end of his YouTube channel on Patreon. His last message read like this:    
Title: END
"I will end my channel. It is a hard decision but i think i am stuck on it. I can't find a good way to have success on it. First do to the cheer number of channel on YouTube that do the same thing, and with much better quality, and second because my inability to have people help me sharing my content. I've talked with many big channels, and even those that i had some type of frienship have all ignored me and some even lied and then stop replying to me.I'll still do stuff on TWC, and i actually intend to make a channel for a Portuguese audience, since that, if i can say, market is untapted. Thanks so much for supporting me, but unfortunately i have to bury the coffin.
And remember above all, HISTORY IS THE FUTURE!"
===The Wise Coffin's scrapped plans===
Before deleting his channel, The Wise Coffin had a plan for continuing his "The One Truth" campaign with a season 2, As well as planning to collaborate with OfficiallyDevin and MrSmartDonkey in a spiritual successor to his "Dark Tales" campaign.  He also planned to review "Empire of Ants" at one point.
