"Distance from capital being the main problem of Roman society"
That part got me!

[@novaterra973]

Well, it was a part of problem, that the emperors could not effectively control the entire empire and especially the far-flung border provinces crucial to the defense. One reason why Diocletian tried the Tetrarchy, and why the later emperors divided the empire between him and the co-emperor. It didn't work well as they hoped.

Another war innovation of this era was that for the first time people fought at night, thanks to unburnable torches that provided light but couldn't burn nor you nor your enemies

AD stands for "anno domini" latin for "In the year of our lord" (the year Jesus was born). It is a very common misconception that it stands for after the death.

2nd!!! Barbarian Invasion. My most favorite single playthrough ever in Total War was on this expansion. I didn't know ANYTHING about what the expansion offered and I started as West Rome...My God, I had no idea what I was in for. The entire campaign i was on the edge of my seat

[@jamesren12980]

I know this isn’t relevant to the episode but the lack of the ports is supposed to represent the decline in the Roman Empire and the lack of trade.

" At this time western Rome was in a serious economic depression, wich was solved by destroying smiths and drill camps far from the frontier and building ports "

[@fenrir7878]

"But don't worry Germans, your time of national reunification will happen again. 1080 AD as a matter of fact" That was funny as hell. Brilliant Melkor. So basically, by that history, World War I Germany under the Kaiser was the Third Reich, because Barbarian Unified Germany was the 1st, and HRE was the 2nd. Great stuff.

@@thecatfather857 nah man this is an ingame joke. The "Romano British" faction that is based on King Arthur always spawns as a revolt against the Western Roman Empire to simulate the real world abandonment of Britain by the Roman legions in 410. The problem is that in the game the Saxons haven't even moved a tile by the time Britain revolts, making it completely unlogical.

AD does not stand for “After Death”. It stands for Anno Domini and (supposedly) begins with the birth of Jesus. There is no gap between BC and AD, except for the unfortunate absence of a year 0.

[@MelkorGG]

Ok. 1 mistake across the 3 episodes. But the rest is 100% true. XD

yeah but to be fair, the number 0 didnt exist till the 13 th century.

You forgot one major event: Roman betrayal of another Roman faction
When you play as Western Roman Empire you get betrayed by the Eastern Roman Empire
And when you play as the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire you get betrayed by the Western Roman Empire (but less often then other way around)
You should really add this issue « For some reasons, the Bye zantaine, betray the Italian Romans »

I want an expansive Empire TW2 including China, maybe starting at 1492, the age of colonisation, allow playable smaller factions that can try and hold off the colonisers, everyone in the world would have an interest, I have no interest in fighting Civil wars in China, Greece or the US tbh. Best mechanics were in Attila, avoid those horrible playing card type unit avatars, spoiled Rome 2 totally for me. I would pay over the odds for an expansive world domination game from 1492 maybe playable for a few centuries, or even a Mongol invasion game. Like you have said in other videos it would bring all the TW community together because it would be a world game. Can't wait.

*In preparation for Medieval 2:*
There were only two major Italian powers: Milan and Venice. The Papal States had no personal ambitions, the Sicilians were too busy becoming a North African faction, and Florence was a small insignificant town that didn't garner any attention.
Some random disaster happened in Aleppo, and everyone around the world immediately heard about it. Nobody cared, though.
Even though the world was rich in resources, most cities had no mines, dirt roads, ports, or land clearances to harvest the resources.
In 1100, Spain and Portugal allied with the Moors, uniting the peninsula in an era of peace and prosperity!
