Sometimes when you read about big battles, you see: "and at the last moment, commander sent his fresh cavalry, hidden in the back, such a tactical genius!". Looking at Jon, I think they may just simply forget they have cavalry standing around.
my mind just brings me this nice picturesque image of the Sarmatians dozing under some shady trees drinking cool lemonade looking towards the bloodbath on the bridge wondering why they aren't being called up.
Marcus the Gambler would be damn proud of the giant gamble Licianus just took. Much like his predeccesor, Licianus has proven he has a giant set of dice.
What you call bravery, Licianus calls stupidity. What you call cowardice, he calls pragmatism. What you call unfair, he calls VICTORY! GundoWHO? Licianus for Emperor!
I refuse to allow any sort of Craven ruling any sort of empire/kingdom or Republic. I'd rather my allies stand and fight, and i wish the same for my enemies!
Roman engineering Just like the wonders of Roman Concrete, something that took us centuries to figure out with the damn recipe in our hands... "Add water"...SEA WATER Not even kidding...we were stupid enough to think the Romans would waste fresh water on Concrete

@jocaguz18 True however people would rarely use drinking water back then. Especially when salt water makes proper Roman concrete. Strong as hell Good point tho
Sends broken crappy infantry to fight. Sends archers to fight. Sends family member into the meat grinder about 17 times. *20 minutes later* "Oh, I've got 100 Sarmatians here!"
Licianus Alimentus! The Battle Picker, The Bridge Keeper, the Eagle Taker, the Emperor Slayer, the Avenger of Marcus the Gambler, not the bravest Roman who ever lived in this dark age but he does his bloody job.
"Today fellow Romans we stand here to avenge Marcus the gambler. He was The Defender of Aquincum, a true roman, and my friend. With Gundobad clearing up matters in Aquincum he has requested i take up this battle for vengeance. Many of you know i would not take up a battle with uh... theses odds if it wasn't of the utmost importance, we are up against the man who killed Marcus the Gambler, the fool the eastern traitors call emperor Luca the Cunning. I doubt hes very cunning considering he chose to fight on the bridge. So today we hold this bridge, for Rome! FOR MARCUS!!!!" -Licianus Alimentus' speech at Battle of the Sirmium Bridge January of 393AD
*Jon,* I don't know if you know this yet or not, but *guard mode* on ranged units tells them not to pursue fleeing units. This lets you pick targets without having to worry about them getting pulled out of position.
Marcus the Gambler's heroic sally out of Aquincum is still my favorite Total War battle you've ever fought, but Licianus Alimentus' bridge battle is a close second. That was amazing.
Never doubted Licianus Alimentus for a moment. A victory is still a victory. And his preference for defensive posturing has saved the empire multiple times now :D
Great fight, Jon! A pro tip; use flaming arrows to knock the fire out of enemy morale! Use regular arrows for raw killing power, flaming for shock value.
This ^. Fire arrows are amazing in bridge battles when you’ve covered your end of the bridge: enemy won’t be able to charge straight through and as you pelt them from the side with the flaming arrows, they get a moral debuff and usually end up breaking en masse. This tactic’s saved me a lot when even when the enemy outnumbers me.
Always amazing that only people who are not very good at games make UA-cam videos and streams. While all infallable masterplayers only ever write comments.
They say legends sit and watch as the fools run around with their head on a bucket. Or something like that, i don't know, maybe i was the first to say something like this.
49:30 had me in tears with how amazing that victory was JON YOU MAD BASTARD MILITARY GENIUS HURRAH FOR LICIANUS ALIMENTUS HURRAH FOR VICTORY HURRAH FOR ROME
"They made a fool of me, Marcus. They laughed at me. Everybody laughs at Licianus....but whenever they laugh, I hurt inside. Maybe I die a little. Now I think I am dead already...so I will stay here, and the last laugh will be mine. I will hold the bridge."
YES! He got the Eagle Taker trait. Oh how good it must have felt for Licianus to pick up the enemies Standard. Also Guard mode stops your troops from running after the broken enemy. :)
Attacking the exposed cities of a faction whose strength is already dedicated to a war on a different front may be smart, but it's not exactly what I'd expect from a man called "the Honest."
*Luca Callidus Vatinius Orientalem Est Mortuus* Our great emperor, who defended his people in these trying times of war with our brothers in the West, is dead. Though not the most Christian emperor (that honor goes to Spurius Flavius Vatinius Occidentalem, also known as the "The Most Christian Emperor who ever Christianed"), he was beloved and seen, because of his great cunning, as a beacon of hope for our homeland. Licianus Alimentus, the man who personally slew our beloved ruler, has been honored by a triumph where he personally carried the stolen eagle of Luca's army in Aquincum where he proclaimed the vengeance of St. Marcus the Gambler, taking Marcus as a cognomen in order to profess the late gambler as his patron saint. Requiescat in pace, Luca Callidus, Vatinius Orientalem
Was anyone else screaming at the screen when he was losing on the bridge, said if I only had more heavy cavalry and then failed to notice he had a unit of 93 heavy cavalry sitting in the forest about 50 ft away... typical Jon -1 perception
Nah, not screaming, but I absolutely had to say something about those archers. Trying to get a rout, having a bunch of archers but not using flaming arrows - couldn't stand it and had to say something!!
The amount of screaming at the screen sometimes in exasperation and sometimes in exhilaration that I do with this series would make my sports-loving dad feel proud What a wonderful piece of content
Also,, The battle at the bridge makes me think of the Battle at the Milvian bridge where Constantine won over Maxentius and became the sole undisputed emperor.
That was possibly the greatest RTW battle I've ever witnessed! I didn't think you stood a chance but you just kept fighting and pulled it off! You are an amazing general!!
Those siege towers really are OP. One time I was the Huns. I waited for the enemy to sally out of the city and used the towers to fire at them along with my hundreds of archers. Slaughtered them in front of their gates
Could've sent the forgotten Sarmatians over the river to charge and trap the bizantines in the bridge and trigger the rout, buuuuut -1 perception Jon strikes again.
4:50 that amount of chaos is fairly accurate in relation to what a Roman style scorpion is capable of... and that tower could even be capable of deploying balistas directly to the top of the enemy wall... as in: pulling entire balistas up the wall, and then firing down with them.
I had a general get title “Decius of the eagles” after he took a bunch of eagles when I conquered Greece and Constantinople, he had “eagle collector” which gave him +3 command
Jon, please, for the love of God, PLEASE play Mafia 2. It's a great game from the last gen, I'm going to comment this on every single one of your next videos until you address it. Love the content btw
I stand by the stance that Marcus the Gambler be declared Marcus the Matyr and and the church in aquincum be upgraded in his honor and housing his corpse.
This is really late, but for anyone wondering why his archers are dropping like flies to enemy fire during the whole campaign, remember there is a button called "Loose Formation". That's it. Awesome series, Jon u are amazing
You’d be as well to keep the stalemate at Sirmium. You attack in the South so they either have to stay in the north in case you attack or they retreat south and then you attack. You don’t even need to take it just let them throw troops at you in the north while you wrap up the south
I killed off I think it was 5 full stack armies by sitting in aquincum as the franks from the eastern romans and by destroying all but one siege tower each time they didn’t retreat, the eastern romans are now ready to be broken...once I find a proper army from amount the 6 different attacking factions I’m dealing with
I was wondering when he'd notice that he's got several units just doing nothing in the background in that last battle... turned out to be a great victory though.
I wonder if these siege towers that he used on the Alexandria are historically accurate, they look really really big for a handful of troops to be able to push it, let alone building it
Siege Towers are built during the Siege from nearby forests, in 305BC Siege of Rhodes, Towers were 135 feet by 67 feet. They only got better over time, so I guess accuracy depends on how tall you think the game makes towers and walls.
@@JoshuaKevinPerry yeah I know they are built on the site but for example at 5:47 you can see that even that thing's wheel is easily bigger than a normal man, it kinda seems impossible to push that thing to the walls
"It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining, flowers are blooming...on days like this, Emperors like you...should be burning in hell..." Addendum: Finally, the shield wall gets used. There's not much reason to NOT use it since the whole point of the unit is to hold the line. I guess it slows them down, but that shouldn't matter unless they're in a hurry. Addendum: Maybe my Undertale reference was more astute than I thought... Addendum: Megalovania really fit that battle when played it over it (Not that it's ever unfitting for anything).
Every region on the map has a legion nickname, with certain nicknames applying to a group of provinces. If you want to see them for yourself, you can find them in the game files, in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions. A Syracusan legion's nickname, for example, would be Siciliae. The Traiana legion that Jon fought against was unique to Egypt, also.
People are saying Jon didn't notice his Salmatians. While that's true, they did have the little icon that IIRC meant they were hidden. The absolute madmen hid so well even Jon didn't notice them.
"Licianus Alimentus is not a coward!" Lets see, he spent most of the battle in the back line and only really moved into combat to take on 4 weakened units with his body guard entourage! Sure the overall battle was winning against a much larger force but he's no Marcus the Gambler!
if i am not mistaken,the pyramids mean they bring public order to egyptian cities and for some turns to all cites as you said Jon so is not useless but has little effect!
Matt Evans not yet they’ll have at least 3 more full stacks to come if my Frankish one is anything to go by, they threw everything at aquincum but the city held to the very end. By the end of it all archers had to get into hand to hand combat for me as I ran out of infantry
Sometimes when you read about big battles, you see: "and at the last moment, commander sent his fresh cavalry, hidden in the back, such a tactical genius!". Looking at Jon, I think they may just simply forget they have cavalry standing around.
I'm dying - I thought exactly the same!

Still Marcus has been avenged!
And sixty archers too

"You uh...you think he forgot about us?"
"Nah, that'd be ridicu-"
"WHERE DID WE GET MORE CAVALRY!? GET IN HERE!!!!"
"...."

just waiting for him to spot the cav...and...there you go Jon, classic perception of -1.
I was waiting for him to spot he could do a night battle to exclude the second Celtic army
I'm starting to think it might be -2

The people who built that bridge deserve praise, that amount of bodies and it stood up to the weight, civic engineering at its best :P
The bridge builders were the true heroes here

True however people would rarely use drinking water back then. Especially when salt water makes proper Roman concrete. Strong as hell
Good point tho
unlike todays bridges that just crumble...like in genoa.
39:20 Jon: gives a charging order to the Comitatenses
Also Jon: WHY ARE YOU CHARGING?
Judging based on his tone, i think it's more of "I don't think i should have told them to charge" rather than "i never told you to charge"
Sends broken crappy infantry to fight.
Sends archers to fight.
Sends family member into the meat grinder about 17 times.
*20 minutes later*
"Oh, I've got 100 Sarmatians here!"

I think he knows, but he always forgets about it, as well as putting the priests to chant
@@partizanlegis and yet he uses guard mode on the comitatenses lmao
That moment when Jon forgets Spurius Flavius is a night fighter
ikr
Was screaming at the my phone watching that
Marcus the Gambler's heroic sally out of Aquincum is still my favorite Total War battle you've ever fought, but Licianus Alimentus' bridge battle is a close second.
That was amazing.
Never doubted Licianus Alimentus for a moment. A victory is still a victory. And his preference for defensive posturing has saved the empire multiple times now :D
Jon/Lycianus when he realizes he has 93 more cavalry free:
*"The eagles! The eagles are coming!"*
Also at Salona they were screaming : The Eagle, the Eagle is coming!
Great fight, Jon! A pro tip; use flaming arrows to knock the fire out of enemy morale! Use regular arrows for raw killing power, flaming for shock value.

a little bit of me died when Jon started calling the Eastern Roman Emperor a King
That is a Medival 2 thing

@@DZ-1987Well the world sat and watched, while the roman fools were running around.
And suddenly they had to pay taxes to said romans.
I like to think luca the cunning did that on purpose so you'd throw all your strength at his bodyguards
"We just don't have the heavy cavalry!"
*93 fully upgraded Sarmatians sit quietly in the trees
49:30 had me in tears with how amazing that victory was
JON YOU MAD BASTARD MILITARY GENIUS
HURRAH FOR LICIANUS ALIMENTUS
HURRAH FOR VICTORY
HURRAH FOR ROME
That was one hell of a bridge battle. Great job Imperator
Lyceanus isn't a coward. But he still doesn't fight fair.
He is a pragmatist!
To which god should I sacrifice if I want Classics Corner With Jon?
Presumably the god of time (or lack of it)
Basically watch Imperator:Rome
Imperator Rome might actually be just that.
Tabby, obviously
Clio, the Muse of history, probably.
"They made a fool of me, Marcus. They laughed at me. Everybody laughs at Licianus....but whenever they laugh, I hurt inside. Maybe I die a little. Now I think I am dead already...so I will stay here, and the last laugh will be mine. I will hold the bridge."
apius the honest performing the backstab manouver is a bit ironic
hey he telegraphed he was going to stab them in the back.
YES! He got the Eagle Taker trait. Oh how good it must have felt for Licianus to pick up the enemies Standard. Also Guard mode stops your troops from running after the broken enemy. :)
Luca the CUNNING, sent his bodyguards to die while he hides at the bridge, forcing the Jon’s army to fight at the bridge by accident
Attacking the exposed cities of a faction whose strength is already dedicated to a war on a different front may be smart, but it's not exactly what I'd expect from a man called "the Honest."
PostNukeProductions I think he purposely started the nickname as a ploy to get his enemies to underestimate him

Finally, couldn't wait to get the next episode. Thanks mate!
Anybody else yelling at their phone for jon to attempt a night fight and the reinforcements couldnt come or was it just me lol
Not just you!
No I was yelling you have salmation horsemen
I was facepalming at the free horse unit!
I hail Licianus Alimentus as Imperator! Let him meet with the Senate in the Campus Martiatus, and cross the pomerium under triumph!
That was just simply a magnificent bridge battle Jon. Out-fucking-standing.
This game was made for you! Excellent YT content in classic MATN style. Thanks Jon.
The greatest victory and Marcus the Gambler is avenged! Oh, what a day.
Marcus the Gambler can finally rest in peace.
The amount of screaming at the screen sometimes in exasperation and sometimes in exhilaration that I do with this series would make my sports-loving dad feel proud

That was just a "who runs out of blood last" competition.
Damn I was on the edge of my seat during that bridge battle.

Thanks Jon - I've been on a classics museum tour of Europe this month, and loving all of the Grecian and Roman themed videos!
Imagine beeing Roman living in Eburacum and getting slaughtered after retaking the city because "screw you" XDDD 28:35
Everything about this video perfectly defines this channel. Loved it.
I had a general get title “Decius of the eagles” after he took a bunch of eagles when I conquered Greece and Constantinople, he had “eagle collector” which gave him +3 command
Rip that dude that fell off the wall at around 7:24 - 7:26
It was hilarious when you finally noticed your cav just chilling 😂
Now that was a very exciting episode!

I have never played a Total War game but Jon's various Total War series have convinced me to buy Rome Remastered
I just love this series can't wait for the next one. Also THERE'S CAVALRY RIGHT THERE, HIDDING IN THE TREE'S. Why is this so compelling.
This episode was absolutely awesome! Thank you for taking the time to do this series.
I stand by the stance that Marcus the Gambler be declared Marcus the Matyr and and the church in aquincum be upgraded in his honor and housing his corpse.
OriginalSoulbourne he should be declared a saint. Saint Marcus of Aquincum.
This is really late, but for anyone wondering why his archers are dropping like flies to enemy fire during the whole campaign, remember there is a button called "Loose Formation". That's it.

Loose formation is useless.
I can't believe you pulled off that bridge battle. It was looking dicey there for a bit.
Nice to see Licianus proving those naysayers wrong. All hail Licianus!

I'm drinking more water, going to bed on time, exercising, eating right, and the Western Roman empire is flourishing.
Maybe dreams can come true.
pro tip: put archers on gaurd mode so they won't get out of position
49:00 Perception de-buff expires Lol
I was wondering when he'd notice that he's got several units just doing nothing in the background in that last battle... turned out to be a great victory though.
I wonder if these siege towers that he used on the Alexandria are historically accurate, they look really really big for a handful of troops to be able to push it, let alone building it

The real hero of that battle was Jon's computer because it didn't crash!!
Red Hot Milvian Bridge action right there...Nice! :D @49:49 mins in. You lucky, lucky, B'stard!
Still the greatest series you've ever done!
Also, feel like you would've been a sports pundit in another life
You can train first cohort from Alexandria !
I was yelling about the damned heavy cav you sent against peasants instead of cutting off the end of the bridge irl.
"It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining, flowers are blooming...on days like this, Emperors like you...should be burning in hell..." Addendum: Finally, the shield wall gets used. There's not much reason to NOT use it since the whole point of the unit is to hold the line. I guess it slows them down, but that shouldn't matter unless they're in a hurry. Addendum: Maybe my Undertale reference was more astute than I thought... Addendum: Megalovania really fit that battle when played it over it (Not that it's ever unfitting for anything).
When Jon said "Deploy the Camels" I just had this mental image of them being rained in by catapult, Monty Python style.
49:49 aaaaaannnnd your neighbors hate you.
oh was this a sweet victory though.
your excitement was palpable and well earned.
that was a tough battle.
Man that bridge is going to be cursed and haunted for a while.
Luca the Cunning clearly went to the Zapp Brannigan school of tactics
Are there legion nicknames for all settlements? Like I know there are unique ones for specific cities but how bout for cities like Syracuse?
Every region on the map has a legion nickname, with certain nicknames applying to a group of provinces. If you want to see them for yourself, you can find them in the game files, in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.
A Syracusan legion's nickname, for example, would be Siciliae. The Traiana legion that Jon fought against was unique to Egypt, also.

It was worth waiting for such an action-packed episode!
It was worth waiting to see what you would say!

People are saying Jon didn't notice his Salmatians. While that's true, they did have the little icon that IIRC meant they were hidden. The absolute madmen hid so well even Jon didn't notice them.
Why does this guy never try a night attack to avoid reinforcements.
"Licianus Alimentus is not a coward!"
Lets see, he spent most of the battle in the back line and only really moved into combat to take on 4 weakened units with his body guard entourage! Sure the overall battle was winning against a much larger force but he's no Marcus the Gambler!
if i am not mistaken,the pyramids mean they bring public order to egyptian cities and for some turns to all cites as you said Jon so is not useless but has little effect!
One wonders why dont they build towers like that for every siege.
Great video epic battle can’t wait till the next Rome video
i know that this isnt the most relevant thing, but "plumbatarii" is such a funny word, and not even Jon in crisis mode can make it not sound amusing.
Did the ERE just throw all it's forces at Jon to die?
Matt Evans not yet they’ll have at least 3 more full stacks to come if my Frankish one is anything to go by, they threw everything at aquincum but the city held to the very end. By the end of it all archers had to get into hand to hand combat for me as I ran out of infantry
jpc1918 agreed there, especially when they’ve got the plaza preventing them from breaking
Ave, True to Marcus the Gambler
The way I’m telling you to do a night battle on Eburacum 22:46, to stop the reinforcements lol
great battle there, although i was yelling at the screen 'use the bloody sarmatians'
