You guys should use some mods like divide et impera. The units look a lot cooler(and historical) than these base game ones. Something that you guys should also do that apparently isnt being done in the recordings of unit movement is to synchronize large clashes. I keep seeing one unit at a time charging. It looks cooler to pause the game and synchronize a mass coordinated order and then unpause the game so all orders happen at the same time(I am sure that pause can be edited out) instead of units arriving one at a time.
Really enjoyed this Louee and Luke, might be worth a minute or two to describe the contingents iand equipmenty they used before the battle begins. Like the Time Commanders vibe. Would like the Battle of Asculum next up in Ancient theatre, or Isandlwana in 19th century if possible.
Great video, love the series. I'd like to see you tackle the Battle of Cunaxa (401 BC) which was fought between two Persian brothers, Cyrus the Younger and Artaxerxes II. In Cyrus' army were a force of 10,000 mercenary Greek hoplites, and their exploits and adventures getting back home after the battle were recorded by Xenophon.
I’ve always hated that quote about Hannibal not knowing how to use a victory, like he was supposed to siege Rome with a battered force, no siege weapons, no support, and no ability to hold it if he even was able to take it. An attempted siege of Rome would’ve left all of Hannibal’s army in a mass grave outside the city.
Really really good fun to watch. Just like many other videos out there, try and keep the music as low as possible. Good rule what ever you think sounds good drop it again further.
More than likely a child sacrifice was involved in Hannibal’s oath to always be Rome’s enemy. Carthaginians loved their child sacrifices. So much so that when the Romans sacked Carthage they were appalled at what they saw.
It's true, the Carthaginians migrated to north Africa from modern day Israel. They were the biblical Canaanites. En child sacrifices wre part of their _religion_ the bible mentions it

For anyone who is interested, I believe the map used was the Akink river crossing in the Season Winter, on a dry day, where the Romans are the attackers and the Carthaginians are the defenders.
I believe the confusion comes from the fact that only one Asian elephant (Surus) survived the campaign in Italy, but most (23 of 37) appear to have crossed the mountains.
Hope you enjoyed! If you were the Roman commander, how would you have dealt with Hannibal's elephants on the battlefield?
How were the carthaginians able to supply feed for them in the middle of winter? Attack their supply and let them starve.
Utilise javelin men and archers to take them down.
caltrops.
Where are the other episodes? Can you just number them?
I wish there was another Time Commanders. I loved that show.
I love battle illustrated with computer games. It's the best way to explain them.
This series gives me massive Decisive Battle vibes, so I am eager for more.

Would love to see a battle from the Sengoku Jidai. Nagashino, Anegawa or Sekigahara are all great candidates.

As always, brilliant video. Keep them coming! I would love to do some analysis videos on the sources of this battle one day.

These are AWESOME!! Have you guys maybe thought of doing like the Trojan war or something? The Age Heroes, so to speak.
Next up the battle of gaugamella or the battle of gregovia
Both great choices!
Let's fucking go. They used to have d a how on History Channel that did this with Rome Total war.
Decisive Battles, great show

The battle of Grunwald would be very interesting, greetings from Germany!
thanks for the suggestion Elliot!
For future battles have you ever considered the Battle Auerstadt 1806
Will have to check this out Geraint, not heard of it!

I like the approach you got here.
Well done 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Stirling Bridge would be cool to see. So different (and much more interesting) than what is depicted in Braveheart.
Which Rome 2 battle map did you use? It looks like a fun river crossing to play!
For anyone who is interested, I believe the map used was the Akink river crossing in the Season Winter, on a dry day, where the Romans are the attackers and the Carthaginians are the defenders.
This is my best guess (you can look for it on the danube river in the grand campaign river crossing presets).
Awesome as per usual, suggestion wise maybe look at battles from the First and Second Triumvarates?
All the wars of the successors of Alexander
Wow what an amazing idea you should get it made for TV. Oh wait...🤔 Time Commanders 👍
Excellent!!
Battle of Monmouth would be a good one.
So more the one elephants survived the alps ? :o I heard only one did? I guess they were wrong?

@@borismuller86 Oh :o Thank you!!!! :)
I am once again asking for the battle of Clontarf 😁
Please review the Battle Cannae the absolute definitive victory by Hannibal.
you guys should use the 1212AD mod for Attila Total War to do some medieval battles
Love this
Why was Alexsander the Great so successful the military still teaches his battle tactics
Please do the battle of the Boyne
Wee note... is trebbia! Ciao
ZAMA, ZAMA!!!!
LOL I was like I'm be the first to comment "Zama!!!!!". Oh well........ ZAMA!!
