  • Perhaps the most awesome siege battle I have ever fought! Stretching from the land to the sea this was what Rome II always should have been like!!!

    You guys NEED to do an anniversary rematch on this map, only this time with Rome and Carthage fielding the most elite units in their rosters and playing with some of the most popular Total War UA-camrs: you, HeirofCarthage, PrinceofMacedon, LionHeartx10, LegendofTotalWar, and WarriorofSparta. And do it like a Sub-commanders video, with one player controlling the navy, one controlling artillery, one controlling infantry, etc. That would be the definition of EPIC!

  • @slyrooster1241
    @slyrooster1241 10 років тому +34

    For the famous cities, Carthage, Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Athens. They should make it to where you have to take the entire city, even the acropolis. That'd be epic!

    • @tyroneanthonycampbell7682
      @tyroneanthonycampbell7682 10 років тому +5

      They really should have made Jerusalem the region capital and done work on it like they did for Carthage and Alexandria. Imagine the Jewish Temple Mount under siege form Roman legions. I was pretty disappointed to see they didn't do that.

    • @RMachine12321
      @RMachine12321 10 років тому +2

      ***** To be fair, at the time the main campaign starts Jerusalem wasn't that important, Petra is definitely a more historical region capital.

    • @slyrooster1241
      @slyrooster1241 10 років тому

      *****
      true, but with the historical significance for Jerusalem being enormous by itself they should have added the temple of solomon in all its glory. and made historical events about jesus and the judean revolts

    • @jackfraser1807
      @jackfraser1807 9 років тому +4

      ... or what it could have been. Seriously, this sort of stuff is awesome but rarely if ever actually occurs in the main meat of the game, which is single player. For obvious reasons.

    • @PreciseGameplay
      @PreciseGameplay 9 років тому +1

      Jack Fraser Because the AI is way too good for most players? ;)

    • @seanazaz
      @seanazaz 9 років тому

      EternallyInebriated Please tell me that was a joke about the ai.... if the ai can beat most players I'd be seriously worried. I mean even on legendary it's easy. I've had to search for mods that change the ai behaviour so there is atleast a slight challenge

    • @PreciseGameplay
      @PreciseGameplay 9 років тому

      seanazaz I was indeed joking. I've been playing since the original rome total war, so I know what you mean when you're looking for a mod that adds challenge to the campaign.

  • @ortegaajesus1998
    @ortegaajesus1998 10 років тому +1

    This was honestly the one I've been waiting for, I love Carthage xD And Latin Rome too, I remember watching a documentary about one of the Roman sieges on Carthage, and they let prisoners out of jail to fight and used hair as bow string. And they had multiple layers of walls, not just one outside wall. Also, they were supposedly the first to come up with "apartments" where they stacked houses on houses.

  • @TheCharles4494
    @TheCharles4494 9 років тому +1

    This is an amazing video dude. I really like the idea of splitting the battles (land and sea) its less of a rush for you to explain what is happening and we can enjoy more fights.

  • @jackfraser1807
    @jackfraser1807 9 років тому +5

    So... I'm not usually a fan of Rome II vids because IMO the game is a bit of a let down. But you manage to make Rome II as it was meant to be, plus you're immensely entertaining to listen to, so many many kudos! :)

    • @Crimethoughtfull
      @Crimethoughtfull 5 років тому +5

      Misusing the elephants was just about their only mistake! They won at sea, had excellent layered defense, with top-tier missile units on commanding (and well-guarded) heights...I'm surprised Rome won at all.

      If you remember, the famous general form there was Hannibal. He and his army crippled the Roman Empire.

    • @leeboi222
      @leeboi222 9 років тому +20

      Tyler Watson If by crippled the Roman Empire you mean defeated the small Roman Republic in a few battles in Italy then proceeded to be defeated by the Romans and lost the war, then yeah, they crippled the Roman Empire.

    • @Supadubya
      @Supadubya 9 років тому +27

      Perky Bellsprout No, the battle that Hannibal won in Italy were hardly minor. The battle of Cannae actually led the citizens of Rome to prepare to surrender if Hannibal immediately marched on the city afterwards (he did not, widely considered to be the greatest strategic mistake of his entire campaign). The Battle of Lake Trebia was equally devastating to the Roman Empire. Rome eventually overcame Hannibal via a war of attrition because they were for a long time unable to defeat him in open field battles (until they had greatly eroded his initial force).
      I studied all this in college, as part of a History of Battle course I took as part of my degree at Cornell University (an Ivy League school), by the way. I am extremely well informed on this matter.

    • @DevonWray
      @DevonWray 9 років тому +7

      Rome breathed not a word of peace throughout the entire war. Even though Rome lost a lot of men in the war, Hannibal would have needed 5-6 Cannae's to deplete the available manpower of the Roman Republic. If Hannibal had marched on Rome after Cannae he would have been crushed.

  • @z524train1
    @z524train1 9 років тому

    This video goes beyond any "let's play" that has ever been done in a Total War game. The fact that you chose to just play the replay(with post commentary), got rid of flags and the ui, is the single best thing you did. The decision to use the debug camera was in itself "epic!" A video like this is what I have been searching for on you tube for a long time. A video that feels more like watching History channel than it does like watching a computer game. I applaud you on this effort. I am now a subscriber and I will forever continue to watch the progress of this channel. My only hope is that you do not return to the status quo of Total War video's. As an avid Total War player myself, I do hope you decide to continue making ALL your battle video's in this fashion. Cheers, and thank you for making " The Greatest Total War Video Ever Made!"

    Hey Invicta, new subscriber here and history lover to boot. I LOVE what you're doing here. It brings ancient battles to life in a way I thought impossible without actually building a time machine and being there. You said you were open to suggestions. I'm sure I've got a countless list of battles I'd love to see brought to life. One I'd love to see is Boudica's final battle with Roman troops in Britain. I'd also love to see some battles of the Third Servile War if possible (I know Spartacus didn't have regular troops so it might be hard to create specific units of his slave army). Also what about some battles between the ancient Hebrews and the Philistines and some of Alexander the Great's final battles in his ill-fated India campaign? I'd also like to see the Battle of Actium if you haven't already done it. Don't forget ancient and medieval China and Mongolia!
