Burly brilliant bald boiis wanted for the empire!! Mercenaries will be allowed! The glint of a bald head will continue to send shivers down the spines of the aristocracy of roman vassals and enemies for generations , and will serve as a memory of The True Roman bellowing at his honor guard to shoot down a hill while the rest of roman infantry jeered at their helpless ancestors. The streets of Rome would look up to the model of a bald confident man in royal toga with a aquiline nose and a piercing gaze as the epitome of roman way of life and thinking.
That was accidentally awesome. The reinforcements did indeed get distracted by Jon's deployment, just not the way he was hoping. Shame to lose those Onagers, but a Siege Engineer on-site means new ones are only a few months away.
All these Brutii family members are taking the comment section to the next level. Soon, I'm sure we'll have Egyptian family members joining us in the comment section, too.
The Senate controls nothing. They recline in their studios with their attendants catering to their whims, dictating policies across Rome as if they know what happens in the streets, as if they care. What has the Senate done for us? What lands have the Senate claimed? What roads have the Senate built? What farms? What mines? What trade route does the Senate protect? House Brutus has conquered Greece. They have taken the lands of Thrace. They have given us access to the silks and spices of the nations of Asia! They have walked into the desert and taken it in the name of Rome! House Scipio has squandered themselves in the Western wastes of Africa. House Julius has done nothing but squash barbarians! The Brutii are truer Romans than the Senate, than both the other houses combined! In honor of Aulus Augustus, LONG LIVE JULIANUS VATINIUS, may he take down the bastard Senate and establish an Imperium!
Manius Barbatus oversaw the siege of Memphis where we lost hundreds of Romans? He should be renamed to WOMANius Barbatus! I'm old and from 2 millennia ago, I'm allowed to be sexist.
Paul Solis Yeah but the imperial women were crafty enough to practically run the empire at times. While they're being objectified, they're poisoning your mushrooms.
actually roman women were actually the head of the household (basically being in charge when at home which might explain why the men were so willing to go out to war or a governing position for a couple of years without their wives) women could also get an education, own businesses and buy and sell land independently of their husbands, and in Christian Rome and Constantinople {pre-fall of the empire] they had even more freedom. (don't believe feminist lies that women in the west were always oppressed cause they weren't) and we know from letters and stuff that even if they didn't hold official power they had just as much political power as their husbands
@@LolavsUmmmm… I believe you said women were "NOT ALLOWED ... to fight, be soldiers" BUT! (and there is always a BIG BUT) women managing the household and raising the next generation is somehow oppressive and serving in an army during wartime is not. As to women not having "control over their marriage", marriages were most often arraigned between the parents of both spouses, while they were babies or young children, for political, financial or other reasons. "LOVE" was not part of the equation, and nether the male nor female spouse had much say in it. Roman women could not possess the GRAVITAS to hold office. In a traditional marriage men and women DO work together. Now let's talk about oppression. The rich may oppress the poor, the powerful may oppress the impotent, the strong may oppress the weak, the freeman may oppress the slave, the noble may oppress the serf, boss may oppress the worker, the adult may oppress the child, the popular may oppress the unpopular, the majority may oppress the minority etcetera infinitum regardless of gender. What makes gender so special? Let's see, did I leave anything out? ...oh yes, it was impolite of you to call me an idiot.
When he does, another brave legionary general shall take his place, just as Julianus Vatinius did Aulus Augustus. Their souls are linked to this world.
Well, Jon... that explains the stuff you pointed out in the first episode. It's timey wimey wibbly wobbly fixed point rewriting history messed up. It's young John Hurt.
HEY VATINIUS My family has become a major merchant house, all thanks to your greatness and the scribe you have named Jon to Detail your exploits is most entertaining, so don't die any time soon.
No, no, my child. Legend foretells of a man so brutal and vile, he is one day destined to lead a land called the Civitas Unitum. He rules from atop a golden tower, and it is not known who will stop him. Our Roman historians' best guess is a man by the name of Bernardus of Sandinia.
I like the idea that one day soon, *Julianus Vatinius* is going to wake up in his camp, open up the tent flap, and be greeting by an army of three thousand or so soldiers on their knees, heads bowed to him, he asks his assistant what's going on, who simply replies "They're yours Julianus. They've been here all night."
A snow dusted Damascus the same day it came to our glorious republican empire, the men used the day to cool their tempers, fill their bellies, and indulge their senses. The only real commotion was when 2 land owners tried to cut the line to kiss Julianus feet. They had heard rumors that kissing his feet would heal the crops. They were eventually put in the proper place, did kiss the feet, and the crops were healed. After a brief speech to his, the final line of which was "There still remains armies wanting a whupping, but tonight, eat drink, and be merry" continued on the subreddit.
Friends, Countrymen, Romans! This is surely the golden standard of 'let's play', even got my partner watching this (herself being a classics postgrad), she adores the personifications and meta.
Tiberius Brutus Sadly, you were not able to live long enough to become the emperor yourself. Tiberius Brutus Optimus Maximus, first of Familia Brutii, first of the conquerors of Greece, Thrace, Egypt, Dacia, etc. The one who guided Rome to her current glory, and who's very name is spoken in fear by her enemies. Long may your legacy last, and long may Julianus Vatinius reign in your stead.
Hi, I'm not usually a fan of this style of game. However, I started watching this series and I'm hooked. I think it's your commentary - brilliant! It's inspired me to find out more about Roman history. Keep up the good work sir.
Jon, early in the series you told us that you are going to watch Julii and Brutii sieges because the game cheats and awards them battles they should not have won. But from all the sieges you have shown us I have learned mainly one lesson: The defending AI is even worse and is incompetent at defending a walled city.
Has no one else yet picked up on the fact that Julianus Vatinius won a victory at the Sea of Galilee? The place where Jesus would one day, calm the storm and walk on water!
Perhaps consider building up a good army on your borders for the inevitable civil war. I've never played this game before, but I love your commentary! I've watched all of these videos this reading week (spring break but for Canadians, go UofT)!
Love this series. Would love to see more total war series if you have the time. Big fan. Watching someone play how I used to play these great games in fantastic. A Rome II or a medieval II series would be fantastic or an empire one. Just more total war :D
after the btrutii have conquered the known world, might I suggest julianus reformations to the army? perhaps replace all soldiers with war pigs/hounds/horses/camels
I've just started a Julii campaign and I've taken on Jon's tactics by sending a unit of calvary to my other Roman factions "allies" and just watching what my allies do stupid moves and throwing away family member after family member LOL😂
I have too and it is 230 BC, the Brutii haven't progressed past Apollonia and Salona, even after fruitless attempt after fruitless attempt to take Thesalonica. The Scipii have southern Greece and Sicily, and the dacians are about to beat macedon
After this campaign I hope he plays again. I really want to see him lay as Briton, Seleucids (because it would be fun to watch him fight his way out of that situation), or the Egyptians. What do you want to see him play as?
Mr Manius Barbatus just want to say thanks for liberating Memphis those Egyptians were the worst rulers ever I mean come on! Their faction leader does not even have a shining bald head! Thx again, Some random guy from Londonium.
StellariumSound A small force silently launched rocks at the wall of a city in the middle of the day, smashing down a great portion of the wall and attracting the attention of the main reinforcing forces. Stealth.
I wouldn't mind seeing Jon try his hand with the Carthaginians. For one, they have the worst archers in the game. In so far as not having a single unit that uses a bow and arrow.
Sorry, game, the Kinneret/Sea of Galilee is not that small, or a desert (it is grassy) But nice job with the Golan heights, the huge towering plateau in the background
I vote for manious barbatus as the leader of the great brutti warhound leagon. Once this great goal has been achieved he will hence forth be known as MANIOUS BARBATUS LUPIUS REX!
Hey Jon, and fellow subs I just bought RTW on steam in order to relieve some of my childhood memories. Sadly although I can get it to run on my Windows 10 system, it doesn't run all that well, any tips for optimization?
Hey Jon, how have you been able to make the game run so smoothly on modern hardware? I've been trying to run Rome off my desktop and it is lagging horribly.
Jon, how do you control squalor in your game? Anytime I make it up to 15 provinces, half my cites are on low tax rate and still rioting, and a plague ends up ruining my best army forming cities
build things that reduce squalor: baths, aqua ducts, etc. try not to build anything that would be unnecessary to help reduce squalor. if the populous is close to revolting, build up an army, leave the city, let it fall, retake the city and exterminate/enslave the city.
does anyone know why there were dead chariots in the plaza long before Jon got there? my only thought is that the Egyptians killed some of their own men by mistake but it seems a weird place for that to happen
RTW seems to have an entirely different AI for defending when AI attacks as opposed when human attacks. Neither is very good, but the AI defense against AI attack is just horrid.
i just saw yoy like 1 week ago and i love yoyr rome campaign can you make one more series with anither faction or make an episode a day with these series i like to watch very much ! #newfan i love rome1 brings back a lot of memories
Fun Fact:
If you replace the fire from the top of the Lighthouse of Alexandria with Julianus Vatinius' bald head, the light could be seen from Rome.
"Never throw Skirmishes as frontline" -Jon, the man who used Slingers as frontline.
Would be really quite interesting to see the faction graphs at some point to see how different factions are doing/have done in relation to the Brutii
I will put it up soon :)
Barber: Watchu want fam?
Nero Brutus: You know the true and future emperor of Rome?
Barber: Say no more
Burly brilliant bald boiis wanted for the empire!! Mercenaries will be allowed!
The glint of a bald head will continue to send shivers down the spines of the aristocracy of roman vassals and enemies for generations , and will serve as a memory of The True Roman bellowing at his honor guard to shoot down a hill while the rest of roman infantry jeered at their helpless ancestors.
The streets of Rome would look up to the model of a bald confident man in royal toga with a aquiline nose and a piercing gaze as the epitome of roman way of life and thinking.
A fiasco never would've happened under my command...
dont worry they got this hopefully
Aulus Augustus They should have just charged blindly on, and sent their hamsters after the enemies eyes!
Minsc And Boo if they mess with my hamster, then it's personal
Julianus Vatinius I will drink to that! The defeat of the Egyptian enemies will come swiftly with a man like you in charge
mr Julianus Vatinius i'm a journalist for Romes grand paper is it true you are the most astounding man to ever live?
"The Memphis Fiasco"
That's not a title that gives one hope, no it is not.
That was accidentally awesome. The reinforcements did indeed get distracted by Jon's deployment, just not the way he was hoping. Shame to lose those Onagers, but a Siege Engineer on-site means new ones are only a few months away.
@@Taolan8472 I totally expected him to lose that one, due to the title :p. Yes im late to the party xD
The Brutii remembers, we Romans remember, Rome will conquer and the day is ours
arent you greek?
All these Brutii family members are taking the comment section to the next level.
Soon, I'm sure we'll have Egyptian family members joining us in the comment section, too.
Michael Stein pretty sure most of em are dead
I doubt it
*FOR THE EMPEROR!*
Wait what do you mean we're still controlled by the senate?
The senate being in control is merely a formality at this point. They know full well that they hold very little _actual_ power.
MrWolfHDD Yes you are, the Senate still controls you!
Again: Merely a formality at this point...
Paul Solis You take that back, heathen!
The Senate controls nothing. They recline in their studios with their attendants catering to their whims, dictating policies across Rome as if they know what happens in the streets, as if they care.
What has the Senate done for us? What lands have the Senate claimed? What roads have the Senate built? What farms? What mines? What trade route does the Senate protect?
House Brutus has conquered Greece. They have taken the lands of Thrace. They have given us access to the silks and spices of the nations of Asia!

I'm old and from 2 millennia ago, I'm allowed to be sexist.
That you are, as you're from a time when women were treated more as objects than as people.
Paul Solis Yeah but the imperial women were crafty enough to practically run the empire at times. While they're being objectified, they're poisoning your mushrooms.

Take a shot every time Jon says: "Julianus Vatinius"
you're going to get someone killed. lol
No, for a real party, take a shot each time he says "break(/breaks) immediately" :D
DragonMaster1804 Or "smash into the rear."
or "Bastards".
I'm starting a petition to rename the Brutii the 'Baldii' after the recent trend of bald generals.
Can you end the game with a army full of war pigs led by Vatinius? Just to make it interesting...
Nah. Use the dogs. Feed the senate to them
When one day the message that Julianus Vatinius died I'll die a bit on the inside.
Jon needs to hurry up and win this sooner.
When he does, another brave legionary general shall take his place, just as Julianus Vatinius did Aulus Augustus. Their souls are linked to this world.
Julianus Vatinius doesn't die. He'd just regenerate.
Well, Jon... that explains the stuff you pointed out in the first episode. It's timey wimey wibbly wobbly fixed point rewriting history messed up. It's young John Hurt.
Many A True Nerd You could just use a rod of resurrection...
Man, Jon just e *Nile* ated the Egyptians
*_waah waah waaaaaah_*
Well, that was a disthrace for the egyptians
The thrace puns will never stop
CasualUA-camViewer I am having a hard time trying to keep Boo from going for your eyes. You need to THRACE for impact!
CasualUA-camViewer absolutely disthraceful.
long live the thrace puns!
*thracepalm*
CasualUA-camViewer long live Thrace puns!
they are punny
HEY VATINIUS
My family has become a major merchant house, all thanks to your greatness and the scribe you have named Jon to Detail your exploits is most entertaining, so don't die any time soon.
Cassius the Lewd for emperor!
So, does that mean you're resigning as Faction Leader of the Civitas Unitum? That's a relief!
No, no, my child. Legend foretells of a man so brutal and vile, he is one day destined to lead a land called the Civitas Unitum. He rules from atop a golden tower, and it is not known who will stop him. Our Roman historians' best guess is a man by the name of Bernardus of Sandinia.
Julianus Vatinius needs to be at the head of the army that storms Rome and the senate!
Jon on very hard loses 100 men in 3 to 1 odds
Me on hard loses 100 men with a 2 to 1 advantage
Jon: Shame
I like the idea that one day soon, *Julianus Vatinius* is going to wake up in his camp, open up the tent flap, and be greeting by an army of three thousand or so soldiers on their knees, heads bowed to him, he asks his assistant what's going on, who simply replies "They're yours Julianus. They've been here all night."
Never before, in the entire history of humanity, has anyone ever been so happy to be able to hear water lapping at the shore.
I should have been paying attention to the Roman family drama unfolding in the comments! This is brilliant!
I miss the days when you fed faction members to wardogs.
A snow dusted Damascus the same day it came to our glorious republican empire, the men used the day to cool their tempers, fill their bellies, and indulge their senses. The only real commotion was when 2 land owners tried to cut the line to kiss Julianus feet. They had heard rumors that kissing his feet would heal the crops.

Jon, I keep waiting for you to utter that famous line: cry havoc and release the pigs of war!
Friends, Countrymen, Romans! This is surely the golden standard of 'let's play', even got my partner watching this (herself being a classics postgrad), she adores the personifications and meta.
Jon I just want to say thank you for everything you do because when I see the notification for one of your videos it makes my day.
Over 600 hours in RTW, first time i’ve ever seen a sandstorm and heard the water splashing sounds. A near perfect game
you cant spell Roman Empire without Julianus Vatinius
You can't spell Roman Empire without "noir meme rap."
Julianus Vatinius is on the road to become a demi(?)god
Tök Fej No, he was promoted to Demigod ages ago, at this point he is lingering at the point between God and Titan
Divi Vatinius
It appears that the siege of Memphis ended very Bleek for the Egyptians, but it was really a Coming of Age for Manius.
hey, you watch this too
I watch a lot of different channels, Jon's just one of them. (this may post multiple times, UA-cam's being weird).
Oh, right. You play the multiplayer/online battles for this game sometimes?
Just the single play, not a fan of the multiplayer in Total Wars.
I guess you could say Manius Barbatus is now 'Walking in Memphis'
2:30 Archers are *Fast Moving*, they could have propably pulled off the job.
I have a man crush on Julianus Vatinius.
Understandable. He is the second greatest member of the Brutii family to ever live, with Tiberius Brutus being the first.
BLASPHEMY!!!!!
No, no, no, my child. It's true. I am the greatest leader to ever live.
Tiberius Brutus
Sadly, you were not able to live long enough to become the emperor yourself. Tiberius Brutus Optimus Maximus, first of Familia Brutii, first of the conquerors of Greece, Thrace, Egypt, Dacia, etc. The one who guided Rome to her current glory, and who's very name is spoken in fear by her enemies. Long may your legacy last, and long may Julianus Vatinius reign in your stead.
Take that back Paul, I am the greatest Roman
Appreciate the editing. Cutting out all the fluff like setting up between small battles
24:18 That might be the game's representation of the Dead Sea.
It's been 7 years but that's the Sea of Galilee Dead Sea is much bigger.
Hi, I'm not usually a fan of this style of game. However, I started watching this series and I'm hooked. I think it's your commentary - brilliant! It's inspired me to find out more about Roman history. Keep up the good work sir.
Still sad about the lack of Thrace puns :c
I wonder if those will be replaced by Julii and Scipii puns.
I've been thinking about possible puns for a solid 10 minutes and have got nothing. Maybe I should just forget about it and Scipio-n my way.
I'll Jul...join you. No, I have got nothing.
Sandwich247 Maybe if you Brutii force it you can get a pun.
looks like Egypt is Thracing the end.
Julianus gave them a good Thracing.
better?
How is that a fiasco ? It's a genius victory !
Jon, early in the series you told us that you are going to watch Julii and Brutii sieges because the game cheats and awards them battles they should not have won. But from all the sieges you have shown us I have learned mainly one lesson: The defending AI is even worse and is incompetent at defending a walled city.
Can't wait for the Medieval 2 playthrough Jon!
You pick the best plan, even accidentally, so often I'm slightly jealous
Julianus Vatinius is the One Punch Man of Rome: Total War.
Rome Total War is the best! Thanks Jon!
15:51 - the forced perceptive here threw me for a loop
I will have my revenge Julianus. May the almighty Horus, son of Isis, have my back.
Just saying Walking in Memphis would have been a good title for the video.
Has no one else yet picked up on the fact that Julianus Vatinius won a victory at the Sea of Galilee? The place where Jesus would one day, calm the storm and walk on water!
Well, the bible is a fictional story, Jesus is actually an allegory to Julianus Vatinius' and the story is homage to his feats and accomplishments.
Reign Or he is Jesus, plot twist.
sam raynes Or Jesus Christ is the reincarnation of Julianus Vatinius
Jhaven Ieon Carl Graycochea Wait, you might be onto something.
Let us all await the Third Incarnation of Julianus Vatinius.
So pumped for this episode
16:35 There are dead chariots on the plaza; the dogs must have charged all the way onto the plaza and killed them!
Fellow Romans! Believe in the Senate, we will prevail in the face of Rome!
Still not feeling well, but I came here for one thing. To ask for Eastern Spearmen, I'd even take a single pre-set battle once this campaign is done.
aww yiss, been waiting all day for some more julianus action.
Perhaps consider building up a good army on your borders for the inevitable civil war.
I've never played this game before, but I love your commentary! I've watched all of these videos this reading week (spring break but for Canadians, go UofT)!
Missed the chance to title this video "Walking in Memphis".
11:40 his general gets surronded but still stays alive
Says he wants to keep reinforcements out by capturing gates, immediately decides best way in is by creating a giant hole in the wall.😑😑
Should a camel Calvary be called, a 'Camelry'?
Love this series. Would love to see more total war series if you have the time. Big fan. Watching someone play how I used to play these great games in fantastic. A Rome II or a medieval II series would be fantastic or an empire one. Just more total war :D
Loving the series Jon!
Many A True Nerd, please show the graphs every once in a while. :)
Someone should make an account of the narrator.
Legend has it that if you're early, Julianus Vatinius himself will respond to your comment. Who's this 'Jon' you guys are talking about?
Jon, you want to hold the "allies" of the Brutii when you DON'T betray them but you don't build the tier 5 walls on Patavium and Carthage..
waiting for this all day
after the btrutii have conquered the known world, might I suggest julianus reformations to the army? perhaps replace all soldiers with war pigs/hounds/horses/camels
Jon your comentedign makes this let's play SSSOOOO much more entertaining. a laughed at the bald thing.
I've just started a Julii campaign and I've taken on Jon's tactics by sending a unit of calvary to my other Roman factions "allies" and just watching what my allies do stupid moves and throwing away family member after family member LOL😂
I have too and it is 230 BC, the Brutii haven't progressed past Apollonia and Salona, even after fruitless attempt after fruitless attempt to take Thesalonica. The Scipii have southern Greece and Sicily, and the dacians are about to beat macedon
Jon, what're your thoughts on the Yubtseb Elephants? What's the deal with them?
NEXT FALLOUT PLAY THROUGH CHARTER NAME SHOULD BE JULIANUS VATINIUS AND HE SHOULD BE BOLD..... Like if you agree
He's always bold. But I'd rather he be bald.
Julianus Vatinius and Manius Barbatus shall lead in a glorious duocracy!
Well, I caved in and bought one of the total war games, and holy moly is it fun. Thanks for making me lose my social life Jon!
don't you have the final upgrade to the wall in pativiam
Living near Memphis, TN made this title particularly amusing.
After this campaign I hope he plays again. I really want to see him lay as Briton, Seleucids (because it would be fun to watch him fight his way out of that situation), or the Egyptians. What do you want to see him play as?
The word immediately is very common in this playthrough.
Mr Manius Barbatus just want to say thanks for liberating Memphis those Egyptians were the worst rulers ever I mean come on! Their faction leader does not even have a shining bald head! Thx again,
Some random guy from Londonium.
The Battle of Memphis, won by year B.C. roman equivalents of undercover black ops.
StellariumSound A small force silently launched rocks at the wall of a city in the middle of the day, smashing down a great portion of the wall and attracting the attention of the main reinforcing forces. Stealth.
You remind me of old Lionheartx10
SUBSCRIBED!
Prinky and the Pez.
I wouldn't mind seeing Jon try his hand with the Carthaginians. For one, they have the worst archers in the game. In so far as not having a single unit that uses a bow and arrow.
why am I so emotionally invested in this game??
Because its an amazing game
And watching Jon play it makes it even more amazing.
Sorry, game, the Kinneret/Sea of Galilee is not that small, or a desert (it is grassy)
But nice job with the Golan heights, the huge towering plateau in the background
Hey, Jon. Can you recommend any documentaries if i wanted to learn more about the Romans?
I vote for manious barbatus as the leader of the great brutti warhound leagon. Once this great goal has been achieved he will hence forth be known as MANIOUS BARBATUS LUPIUS REX!
I guess sleeping is off the table
Hey Jon, and fellow subs I just bought RTW on steam in order to relieve some of my childhood memories. Sadly although I can get it to run on my Windows 10 system, it doesn't run all that well, any tips for optimization?
Hey Jon, how have you been able to make the game run so smoothly on modern hardware? I've been trying to run Rome off my desktop and it is lagging horribly.
What was with those dead chariots in the plaza? Some sort of horse plague?
SergeiAndropov haha I was wondering the same thing.
250k subsciber special coming??? :D
Jon, how do you control squalor in your game? Anytime I make it up to 15 provinces, half my cites are on low tax rate and still rioting, and a plague ends up ruining my best army forming cities

if the populous is close to revolting, build up an army, leave the city, let it fall, retake the city and exterminate/enslave the city.
TWO DAYS AND NO ROME TOTAL WAR
I NEED MORE ROME NOW
does anyone know why there were dead chariots in the plaza long before Jon got there? my only thought is that the Egyptians killed some of their own men by mistake but it seems a weird place for that to happen
I didn't see any in the plaza but the towers got some under the arches.
Now for your Rome total pun........Why don't some couples go to the gym? Because some relationships don't work out.
RTW seems to have an entirely different AI for defending when AI attacks as opposed when human attacks. Neither is very good, but the AI defense against AI attack is just horrid.
The body of water would be the Sea of Galilee?
i just saw yoy like 1 week ago and i love yoyr rome campaign can you make one more series with anither faction or make an episode a day with these series i like to watch very much !
#newfan i love rome1
brings back a lot of memories
I was promised a fiasco!
but can phallanx troops even attack with the giant sticks
