- Let's play Field of Glory Empires as Pontus! This recent release from AGEOD and Slitherine places us as the ruler of a nation in the ancient western lands (from Ireland to India). Consider this an ancient Roman/Greek sandbox grand strategy title similar to Rome Total War (with much deeper empire management), or Imperator Rome.
As Pontus, our goal will be to survive the wars between the Diadochi. In time, we hope to emerge as the preeminent Greek successor state.

To skip the intro and nation-select, skip to around 6:30 for gameplay.
Why would I skip... I enjoyed the intro and explanation. Any way keep up the good work.
I have see this game before i think Benjamin Magnus streamed this he played as done though
@@connorholt8481 Not everyone wants to hear me summarize game mechanics and go on tangents about history. Some just want to see what the game plays like.
@@TortugaPower I am a huge nerd when it comes to any kind of history so I just enjoyed listening to what you have to say.
Been looking around for a good tutorial playthrough series. Yours stand out the most, for how informative and easy to understand what is going on. Cheers!
Four years later - thank you! I had a couple of miserable starts since I misunderstood a few important mechanisms. This was a perfect tutorial to get me started, I did a bit of a play along.
You should immediately set your light cruisers to raiding and lay down a new class of dreadnoughts.
We need the land dreadnoughts. Someone call in the land dreadnoughts!
Oh boy I can't wait to watch Tortuga plunge the prosperous Nation of Pontus into a Civil War!
Excuse me, viewer: even if that were to happen, it would only be because I wanted it to. Certainly not from neglect or poor leadership.
@@TortugaPower Ah yes of course. Just "showing off the mechanics" I completely understand.
Mate, you helped a lot with all those explanations! Even tho it took 24 mins to take one turn, I really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!
Very awesome. Just got the game and was actually playing Pontus and ran into this series. Very informative and well made. Ty very much for your time
Kind words, thank you!
This looks like a promising game. Will watch the rest of the series with great interest.
I think it's a fantastic game, so I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoy playing
@@TortugaPower I know you did this series several years ago....I picked this game up and I look forward to reviewing your play through so I can learn how to play. I tried several play throughs (and I am not a manual reader type) and was just muddling about. Thanks for the content!
If you already own one of the Paradox games: HOI, CK, Victoria, Stellaris, then with Imperator Rome you get the almost same mechanics only in new wallpaper. With the new, intelligent and fresh ideas, I think you're better off with Field of Glory: Empires.
That's a fair viewpoint. I like the Paradox games, a lot!, but this certainly feels like something fresh.
I just started playing this game. Hope to watch more of your vids because I need the tips. :)
Was thinking on whether to buy this, glad you're doing a series so I can see how it works
The guy you forgot was Sulla btw, though I think it was Lucullus who finally finished them off
Happy to be of service! It's really my pleasure: I find this game a pleasure to play (and record). Consider that a recommendation.
Sulla, what a giant in Roman history. I distinctly remember him and Marius from the Republic time (lumping Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus into the Empire days). I'm not well-enough read on the subject, seems like a very interesting time in history.
Very nicely done and illustrated.
Thank you.
Ooo, this one looks neat. I'm a sucker for strategy games and this almost (if you squint hard enough) looks like a PDX game crossed with MoO set on ancient earth, and I'm down for all 3 of those.
I would say it's definitely similar to a PDX game (and very similar to Imperator Rome), but turn-based on a yearly rather than daily basis.
Thanks For Taking Time To Explain The Games Mechanics,A Game I Really What To Get Into, So Really Helps....Who Would You Say Would Be A Good Nation To Start With.....
In the endless series(need to see if you've played that) it's F.I.D.S.I. which is short for Food, Industry, Dust(money), Science and, finally Influence. And yeah you could change how many pops were working on what resource.
I've never played any of the Endless titles for my channel (only my own private affairs). I like Endless Space 2, and I keep trying (but failing) to get a long game going in Endless Legend, but it somehow doesn't keep my attention. I think there's a high entry barrier because of the very diverse starting civilizations you can choose, and gameplay is significantly impacted by your choice (unlike the Civ series).
@@TortugaPower Yeah I have kinda the same problem with endless legends, I start games but It's been a while sense I last finished one. I think the trick to that is to immerse yourself into some roleplay and the story and everything. I fell in love with the series because of the story bits and art style. Also thanks for showing this game off. It looks interesting. I'll have to watch a bit and see what I think of it.
Well done
I'm so happy you're playing this game!
That makes two of us, because I'm really enjoying it.
@@TortugaPower I really want to get it, but I don't have the cash.
Without needing to rush, I'd say that when you do buy it, you can get many hours of enjoyment out of it. I can see a lot of replayability, and even a single nation is going to take many tens of hours.
About that Tortuga luck - whenever I play games with this underlying system, like Pike & Shot Campaigns, I get the most ridiculous results and I always feel the odds are heavily stacked against me. Might be I suck, but in my impression the Tortuga luck is built into the engine. You always need overwhelming odds to come out even.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
looking forward to the series Tortuga!
I'm so glad to hear it!
Hi, i like this series, pls explain what happens if you hit non-Hellenic people. The decadence debuff, what does that mean? is it permanent? Is the the rise in decadence worth acquiring the territory, so just go for it, or it limits you?
Lastly, is it possible to turn map your color, or it is more of a score, or culture or diplomatic victory? The main reason i am asking is because in history greek killed each other, that was their fall. So if decadence prevents conquest of others, is it fairly possible to unite the greek diplomatically, or you have to chance civil war wont ruin greece?
This nation gets a bonus in that they don't take the normal decadence penalty for conquering other Greek regions
I wish Imperator Rome had this building system..
Yeah, the buildings are a great aspect of this game.
Yay new series
It's loooong overdue, it's been months!
The Famous General that was not famous enough to have his name remembered
🤣
So...Crusader Kings, Total War, and Civilization had a baby ^-^
I'd say yes, except replace Crusader Kings with Europa Universalis.
The general in Spain was Sertorius
Where is second part? Third? Ninth? One hundred and fiftieth? Wheeeeerrrrreeeees??????
damn
skippy
Romance languages, not romantic. :-)
