Heir, I feel convinced that the Opening Video antagonist (the man lecturing Hannibal) is Hanno the Great. And I also feel like Hanno is the leading cause of Roman Victory in the second Punic War. As he apparently was chief in the decision to with-hold reinforcements for Hannibal in Italy. What a douche he was.
Adrian Cota yes hamilcar was talking, but he wasn't the one who stopped the reinforcements going for italy. he was the father of hannibal, a great carthaginian commander famous for his maneuvers, and guerrilla warfare with the mercenaries against the greeks he set a foothold in iberia and expanded, but he was killed by iberian rebels, then hannibal took command and kept expanding, till he took seguntum, which is where the games puts us in :).
That is a VERY valid argument, one that I definitely agree with. However, I feel compelled to point out that after Cannae, the opportunity to send ANY reinforcements to Hannibal was short. Shortly after Cannae, Hannibal's younger brother Hasdrubal lost a major battle in Spain that ultimately resulted in Rome seizing control and thus preventing any reinforcements from going via land. (Hasdrubal made one big push later on and broke through, but he abandoned all of Spain in exchange.) And later on, Rome retook Sicily when they finally took back Syracuse and murdered Archimedes. Thus, they effectively cut off Hannibal via sea as well. So, even if the politicians HAD decided to help Hannibal, they would have had to act quickly. The war officially started in 218 BC; Cannae happened on August 2nd, 216 BC.
"As if you truly have a choice" makes the entire intro cutscene for me, Whoever wrote that dialouge were quite talented, Makes hamilcar comeback so much more powerful
Is the Carthagenian guy who says "I choose war" at the trailer supposed to be Hannibal? Because in the moment Carthage declared war to Rome Hannibal was in Iberia...
Byron Peng true but the famous lines of "I have two folds in my toga. Which shall I let drop - that holding peace, or that with war?" was spoken by Quintus Fabius Maximus to the Carthagian Senate which that scene is referencing. And its clearly Carthage Rome II battle map shown in the intro cut scene not an Iberian town where Hannible was at.
Did you know that the "turds" were the most civilized people in Iberia, living in cities and having a culture wich easily could evolve into something similar to the Italians but with Punic Influence instead of Greek.
HeirofCarthage yes sir. lol but i also though of the Tuscany region in Italy as well so thats where i got the play on words..also since Carthage is now Tunis..i might be reaching a little on that but you get it. hahahaha
When i was playing this it really helps to disband the your Navy because you dont really need them in the beginning and you have armies in Africa that have troops you dont realy need so they just eat your upkeed, its best to disband them in the first turn and focus on economy and after turn 3 you start building an army.
I have considered it, but when playing on my laptop on the plane coming home I had Syracuse trying to land in Carthago. Kind of worried about leaving it completely undefended.
Two Things: 1. It seems as though Rome has been nerfed horrendously in this expansion. Pre-Marian Troops suck apart from Principes, which can only be recruited from level 3 barracks. It seems as though Carthage can just steam-roll Rome off the Map with Libyan Infantry and African Elephants... 2. With regards to diplomacy, I think they should make a TV show about it: "Everybody Hates Carthage"
1. I don't think Rome has really been nerfed. They already had massive unit availability with good armor, morale, defense, ect. They can still hold their own vs Carthage I think, but Carthage can threaten them more easily now. 2. It sure seems that way :)
I think it will be fun. It is quite similar to the grand campaign, but I like that there will almost certainly be a large scale struggle between Rome and Carthage. Should be fun.
That thing about his eye needed tested was so appropriate :P as later in the war Hannibal lost one of his eye to an infection from the marshes in northern Italy :D
your clients turning on you is historically correct since the Spanish civilizations in the heat of battle they turn on Carthage that's how hannibal father died
You can only issue edicts in provinces that you don't fully control when the owners of the other settlements in the province are owned by your client state.
One of the big things with this game is that it almost always thinks your going to be crushed by the enemy when you really have a good chance and more often then not only loose about 100-200 men while they loose 1000+
It did in the main campaign until you did research, but I will show in a future episode that the upkeep and recruitment of mercenaries for me in this campaign is actually lower than standard troops.
I've already won as Carthage and you should capture the African coast, and Spain for a ton of money. Rome mostly lays back until the end most of the time.
lol i was watching that first battle and i saw the reinforcements was like....heir theres reinforcements.....heir......heir.....(your men are wavering) (heir)wait what my guys are getting attacked) facepalm lol
You know, I always loved the Roman civilization and you have to appreciate the enormous contributions they made for mankind. But I admire Hannibal and some part of me feels bad he didn't win. Especially since he lost after winning every single battle in his Italy campaign. Guess it goes to show that sadly, winning battles doesn't always mean winning the war.
Hey Heir, I don't think you knew this but you had a lot of useless AGENTS in the CARTHAGE campaign. You can put those agents in your armies to extend their movement range, increase your armies experience (with the champion), and lower your upkeep cost (with the dignitary). Its really useful for armies that are currently inactive cuz they could gain experience away from the battlefield. It REALLY pissed me off how many agents you had just laying around compared to how much you actually used.
I know its unlikely, but it would be great if the Alexander and Barbarian Invasion expansions were redone for Rome II. Although they could probably be fully fledged games of their own. The two DLC so far have been good, but the expansions were much larger. If they are going to do a third DLC campaign then I'd personally like to see the Roman campaign against Parthia, including the famous annihilation of the Romans at Carrhae.
Hi there, I am wondering why, but I don't see the same starting conditions for my campaign as yours. For instance, the Gaetulians start as having low chance of a non-aggression pact, not moderate, while the units under Hannibal cannot be retrained/upgraded like yours, why is this the case?
I would like to, but the attrition may prevent it. Plus I think the diplomacy is going to force me to occupy or subjugate all the factions along the way to get to italy.
I really think Ca needs to hold of on DLC and put some effort into fixing the AI,as it appears to think standing still in one spot under an artillery barrage is a good idea,vs at least trying to move away and make it harder for them,among other issues. Is having an at least halfway decent AI too much to ask for?
They did improve the AI some in this DLC and update. I am sure they will keep working on it. The AI has always struggled in these games though unfortunately.
But if I remember correctly in the lead-up to Rome 2 CA said that the "Ai has been drastically improved" I expect them to do exactly that,especially given what modders with limited resources have been able to do on this issue. To allow it to be released it this condition speaks volumes about what they consider acceptable..
First of all nice vid but I'm new at this game and was wondering why you don't put you hops in position I dint know the name of the position though sorry again though nice job
You can put them in a hoplite wall, it boost melee defense and shield strength as well as bracing. It can't be used offensively or once already in combat.
I always get disappointed when i see people don't play it on very hard i would have watched this if it was on it. That is my opinion tho! I guess its the fact that i play on the best difficulty because that's what i enjoy which means i would enjoy to watch it on the same difficulty. Not paying you out i think your great at what you do.
I don't find the Very Hard setting to be much more challenging except for giving the AI tons of cheats. While some people enjoy that type of challenge, I really don't. It irritates me so bad that it makes it hard for me to enjoy the game. I will play some campaigns on harder settings eventually for folks who want to see it, but it will be a lot more tedious I think.
Heir, why did you raze that settlement to the ground and then rebuilt it? I mean, I've never tried and I wondered, in TW games what's the advantage of just razing conquered settlements to the ground?
pretty sure killing everyone in it helps you keep order and stops the city from rebelling again meaning you can move your army onto new targets quicker.
I just really like the story of Hannibal. Also most people think of Rome as the only republic of the ancient world. Carthage was also a republic and had an interesting political system.
Love the game, found out that I have a shit laptop so now I have to save up for a new pc -,- too bad but I guess thats what needed to play this awesome game
Can all you guys shut up about the inaccurate stuff about the game was CA alive during this time? You guys can probably be wrong yourself it's just a game if you don't like it don't play it please I find this amazing whether it's a inaccurate or not
Prepares artillery assault. Lots of units just stand there in a tight formation not even trying to run or at leeast spread a little. DIfficulty: Hard. Rome 2 AI, everyone!
HeirofCarthage To be fair other total war games had that problem as well with arty. I think, however overal AI is at least ok now, safe for the sieges, i think the game might improve on that issue if they remove the torching gates deal. Thanks for the vids mate, this is actualy awesome to watch.
Heir, Will you try to recreate an army similar to Hannibal's army when He invaded Italy and try to stay more historic or will you create your own history in the campaign?
I can try, but to be honest recreating Hannibal's version of events in this campaign will be difficult as the diplomacy most likely wouldn't allow it. It will be my own history mixed as best I can with the reality I think.
Hi Hannilbal, I hope you record the Carthage grand campaign live stream and put it on youtube cos I watch it from Singapore and we're 12 hours ahead of US EST. I've been hoping to watch a Total War campaign I like right to the end for years but most of the ones I like have all been ended prematurely.
SuperCompany007 he streams live via youtube not twitch, idk if he's going to try to use the twitch button via the game for the final carthage campaign though. It'd be interesting
HeirofCarthage Fantastic! And many thanks for putting up the Carthage campaign. Of all the other casters who've done this campaign, yours makes the best use of armies and agents. In my own campaigns, using agents makes can make a bigger difference than just expanding tru outright conquest alone. Agents slightly OP IMO so might as wel make full use of it :)
Not just them, I don't know how many times I've rage quit my Rome campaign, I got Sparta and Athens coming at me from Magna Gracia and sometimes I am able to secure good relations with Syracuse and other times they are coming at me then Carthage and I don't know how the Arverni always conquer so fast, but they are always wrapping at my door.
Heir's Campaign in a nutshell
Hannibal: Captain!
Captain: Yes sir!
Hannibal: Prepare the elephants
Captain:*yells* PREPARE THE ROFL STOMP
Sounds good, we will have to clean the elephants hooves every night to get all the Roman its out of there ;)
yup :)
@@HeirofCarthage their feet are very soft
Heir, I feel convinced that the Opening Video antagonist (the man lecturing Hannibal) is Hanno the Great.
And I also feel like Hanno is the leading cause of Roman Victory in the second Punic War. As he apparently was chief in the decision to with-hold reinforcements for Hannibal in Italy. What a douche he was.
its Hamilcar.-.
Adrian Cota yes hamilcar was talking, but he wasn't the one who stopped the reinforcements going for italy. he was the father of hannibal, a great carthaginian commander famous for his maneuvers, and guerrilla warfare with the mercenaries against the greeks he set a foothold in iberia and expanded, but he was killed by iberian rebels, then hannibal took command and kept expanding, till he took seguntum, which is where the games puts us in :).
Looks more Roman to me. Probably supposed to be Fabius Maximus.
It's a Roman. Also, don't expect this game to be historically accurate.
That is a VERY valid argument, one that I definitely agree with.
However, I feel compelled to point out that after Cannae, the opportunity to send ANY reinforcements to Hannibal was short.

"As if you truly have a choice" makes the entire intro cutscene for me, Whoever wrote that dialouge were quite talented, Makes hamilcar comeback so much more powerful
It is certainly a nice trailer
The return of the Turds...Heirs nightmares have come true :P
Well at least it gives me lots of easy bad puns to use
Is the Carthagenian guy who says "I choose war" at the trailer supposed to be Hannibal? Because in the moment Carthage declared war to Rome Hannibal was in Iberia...
When Hannibal attacked Rome's ally in Spain. Rome sent envoys to Hannibal first at his camp in Saguntum.
Byron Peng
true but the famous lines of "I have two folds in my toga. Which shall I let drop - that holding peace, or that with war?" was spoken by Quintus Fabius Maximus to the Carthagian Senate which that scene is referencing. And its clearly Carthage Rome II battle map shown in the intro cut scene not an Iberian town where Hannible was at.
Apparently Skype calls are more advanced back then.
Poringun Den lol
I think it was a roman that said he choose war.
Did you know that the "turds" were the most civilized people in Iberia, living in cities and having a culture wich easily could evolve into something similar to the Italians but with Punic Influence instead of Greek.
Ideas for Army name's: Africa corps, Tuscan Raiders (play on words lol) & Hannibal's cannibals.
The Pussy Patrol
lol Tuscan raiders would be a good nod to Star Wars
HeirofCarthage yes sir. lol but i also though of the Tuscany region in Italy as well so thats where i got the play on words..also since Carthage is now Tunis..i might be reaching a little on that but you get it. hahahaha
When i was playing this it really helps to disband the your Navy because you dont really need them in the beginning and you have armies in Africa that have troops you dont realy need so they just eat your upkeed, its best to disband them in the first turn and focus on economy and after turn 3 you start building an army.

2. It sure seems that way :)
Nice to see you doing this campaign. Hope you can destroy rome and also beat them at cannae and trebia
I wish they would add those battles in, but I am certain I will have some large battles with Rome since they added the army reserve system.
Vuk, and please use your mail because this goes on public
HeirofCarthage what is the army reserve system? I have not noticed it if it is what it sounds like.
#MakeCarthrageGreatAgain
HeirOfTrumptage
@Richard Rivera It has something in common with Antivaxxer's children then
29:45 JAVLENMEN-SWOOOOOORDS-JAVELINMEN-CAVALRY
Yea the units yell a lot in Rome 2 :)
Good start. I'm looking forward to this one.
I think it will be fun. It is quite similar to the grand campaign, but I like that there will almost certainly be a large scale struggle between Rome and Carthage. Should be fun.
You have convinced me to purchase this add on and play as Hannibal! Keep up the good work! :D
Hope you enjoy the DLC. I am liking it.
Best Hannibal Barca movie for reference. Am trying to bypass early missions and marching strait toward Rome just for fun.
HANNIBAL BARCA
Ahhh the good old days but the good new days are just as good you havent changed keep it up heir
Lol thanks! I loved doing this campaign.
"Carthago delenda est."
oh man here we go
Hope you enjoy it
So this is the new and improved rome 2 LMAO!
thank u for the video, i was waiting for it!!
Carthage prevails!!
Thanks. Hope you enjoyed it
remember Heir, Hannibal lost an eye because an infection- not this early though-, that's why he couldn't see if there was a wall or not
Yea maybe he lost it during the speech ;)
Love it!
Thanks
Don't sail to Sardinia! Your force will suffer really bad attrition. I lost a whole fleet doing that!!!
If you sail closer to the cost you can do it I think.
That thing about his eye needed tested was so appropriate :P as later in the war Hannibal lost one of his eye to an infection from the marshes in northern Italy :D
Yea maybe that is why he couldn't see the city had no wall :)
That's our Hannibal ;)
also it seems like his eye injury that happened in the roman marsh has happened years early.
WOOHOO.......the turd puns are back
your clients turning on you is historically correct since the Spanish civilizations in the heat of battle they turn on Carthage that's how hannibal father died
Why don't you try to get one of those treatys when the chance is low, I mean you could maube get one....
You can only issue edicts in provinces that you don't fully control when the owners of the other settlements in the province are owned by your client state.
You make m want play carthage good one mate
Great video HeirofCarthage. Go Carthage!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed it :)
all your parts from 1 to 47 are realy good i like to see it and i learn a little more over rome total war 2 thanks for that :) :)
:)
One of the big things with this game is that it almost always thinks your going to be crushed by the enemy when you really have a good chance and more often then not only loose about 100-200 men while they loose 1000+
Quote by the EB makers "The AI has the money, you have the brain"
Wouldn't hiring lots of mercenaries cost you too much Heir?
The Carthaginian's were famous for heavy use of mercs afaik, so i think he is going for that feel
Klef t Sadly that system doesn't really work within the game.
zapking5 Same, the merc upkeep already costs him so much he won't be able to develop his cities and economy well
It did in the main campaign until you did research, but I will show in a future episode that the upkeep and recruitment of mercenaries for me in this campaign is actually lower than standard troops.
Cool, thanks for replying! +HeirofCarthage
Wow man Nice Start I am learning new Things from you
You should play on Very Hard Heir, it is a rather big step up and while I'm sure you could handle it, it would be very interesting to watch
I've already won as Carthage and you should capture the African coast, and Spain for a ton of money. Rome mostly lays back until the end most of the time.
Heir I love u man no homo. I stayed up just for this man! Totally worth it
Glad you enjoyed it
There needs to come a movie about this !!! would be so awesome xD
Yea it would be a cool movie
lol i was watching that first battle and i saw the reinforcements was like....heir theres reinforcements.....heir......heir.....(your men are wavering) (heir)wait what my guys are getting attacked) facepalm lol
I really appreciate your VLOGS as I have learned a lot from watching them.
You know, I always loved the Roman civilization and you have to appreciate the enormous contributions they made for mankind.
But I admire Hannibal and some part of me feels bad he didn't win. Especially since he lost after winning every single battle in his Italy campaign. Guess it goes to show that sadly, winning battles doesn't always mean winning the war.
Hannibal knew how to gain victory but not how to use it.
lol
Hey Heir, I don't think you knew this but you had a lot of useless AGENTS in the CARTHAGE campaign. You can put those agents in your armies to extend their movement range, increase your armies experience (with the champion), and lower your upkeep cost (with the dignitary). Its really useful for armies that are currently inactive cuz they could gain experience away from the battlefield. It REALLY pissed me off how many agents you had just laying around compared to how much you actually used.
Yea I will leave them embedded for a while in this campaign and see how they do
Great Videos HeirofCarthage, Do you use any mods by the way?
I'm so suprised that the crowd didn't charge the Roman dude when he was pretty much spitting in their face.
Hannibal should have kicked him into a pit while screaming "This is Carthage!" ;)
I understand the reliance on mercenaries from a historical standpoint. But their upkeep costs are crippling.
i like the capture point change
I like it as well
I know its unlikely, but it would be great if the Alexander and Barbarian Invasion expansions were redone for Rome II. Although they could probably be fully fledged games of their own. The two DLC so far have been good, but the expansions were much larger. If they are going to do a third DLC campaign then I'd personally like to see the Roman campaign against Parthia, including the famous annihilation of the Romans at Carrhae.
Big fan heir love the campaign, throughout the campaign you mention your gaming laptop and I'm in the market for one what one do you have?
Hi there, I am wondering why, but I don't see the same starting conditions for my campaign as yours. For instance, the Gaetulians start as having low chance of a non-aggression pact, not moderate, while the units under Hannibal cannot be retrained/upgraded like yours, why is this the case?
history info! Plz be kick ass to hear more of it love them facts.
I will do what I can, but haven't read a Hannibal book in a while so I am rusty on the facts :)
March through the Alps, instead of entering Italy through Massalia-Genua. I think that would be pretty cool and historical. ;)
I would like to, but the attrition may prevent it. Plus I think the diplomacy is going to force me to occupy or subjugate all the factions along the way to get to italy.
Cool vid heir you the best
i really like how he use the combine elephants and cavalry to shock the enemy at all sides
Was anybody else watching Heir's mini-map and screaming, "Heir, behind you!" lol
Oh no heir has got airpods on he cant hear us
Heir you should really get some solid carthagianian troops before depleting your income with mercs
The regular troops actually cost more to recruit and upkeep from what I have seen in this campaign. I will show this in a future episode.
hey can u do a Caesar in Gaul Rome campaign may apart of a throwback Thursday?
What's the mod you use to be able to draw on the world map? Or did I just entirely miss that when playing Rome?
12 turns there are per year. Are you going to finish CIG? I just did. Hardest campaign I have ever done in total war.
' I choose war' -Hannibal 2014
Yea, I love that trailer
Intro gave me chills :o and thank lionheart for another sub!
Lionheart is great. The intro is awesome as well. I wish it were easier for me to find time to do CoOp with Lionheart.
Im enjoying binge watching your Carthage campaign, keep doin what you do babe!
are there any troops in towns in this game ya know like garrison troops that you don't have to recruit?
I really think Ca needs to hold of on DLC and put some effort into fixing the AI,as it appears to think standing still in one spot under an artillery barrage is a good idea,vs at least trying to move away and make it harder for them,among other issues. Is having an at least halfway decent AI too much to ask for?

To allow it to be released it this condition speaks volumes about what they consider acceptable..
Why was Carthage so unpopular? Probably the child sacrifice. Roma Invicta! ;)
Apparently Heir knows the chances And statistics about the game better than the people who made it.
Probably a bit late, but you should take it easy on poor hannibal's eyesight. He only has one eye after all :(
Heir I really recommend you pick up Masters of Command by Barry Strauss it is a great read that covers Hannibal, Alexander, and Caesar.
I may check that out. Thanks.
First of all nice vid but I'm new at this game and was wondering why you don't put you hops in position I dint know the name of the position though sorry again though nice job
You can put them in a hoplite wall, it boost melee defense and shield strength as well as bracing. It can't be used offensively or once already in combat.
not sure if this will be seen but, I will be buying rome 2 on the summer sale and I just want to know if I should buy all dlc or just a select few.
You should name the army you take Rome with "Roma Dissenta"
Yea, not sure what I will do with them as yet, but a fun idea
Capture points don't mean victory anymore; just a moral bonus
Yea, I kind of like the change
Now you have to completely eliminate enemy force, just like in original Mediaeval Total War, Leaving even 3 units would cause future problems.
It's not like medieval or rome flags it's more like empire where they give a morale boost but the boost doesn't grant unbreakable morale
I always get disappointed when i see people don't play it on very hard i would have watched this if it was on it. That is my opinion tho! I guess its the fact that i play on the best difficulty because that's what i enjoy which means i would enjoy to watch it on the same difficulty. Not paying you out i think your great at what you do.
I don't find the Very Hard setting to be much more challenging except for giving the AI tons of cheats. While some people enjoy that type of challenge, I really don't. It irritates me so bad that it makes it hard for me to enjoy the game. I will play some campaigns on harder settings eventually for folks who want to see it, but it will be a lot more tedious I think.
Are you going to do the Imperator Augustus campaign?
Heir your are mightier than Ba'al Ha'mon!!!!
At the siege part of the video there were reinforcements in the mini map I was shouting like "Behind you!! Behind you Heiro!!" :D
+Vahdet Ayaz Heir isn't in the show Heroes, he isn't Hiro nakamura, He is the heir of carthage!
Heir, why did you raze that settlement to the ground and then rebuilt it? I mean, I've never tried and I wondered, in TW games what's the advantage of just razing conquered settlements to the ground?
pretty sure killing everyone in it helps you keep order and stops the city from rebelling again meaning you can move your army onto new targets quicker.
weecam27 aah... thanks!
3:10 What the hell is this rubbish? Wasn't Fabius an old man? And what happened to the famous "folds of my toga" speech?
Heir, disband your fleets as it's not really needed...
I would like to, but that would leave Carthage and a few other areas open to a naval invasion by Rome or Syracuse
its funny how the guy in the game says elephants at 18:10 when Heir clicked on them .
Yea the units yell off stuff that is funny sometimes
Don't forget to use your navy off the Iberian Coast
Yea they can be handy. The navies don't help a ton at first, but I don't want to disband them either.
Hey Heir, why do you like Carthage so much? Thanks for the videos.
I just really like the story of Hannibal. Also most people think of Rome as the only republic of the ancient world. Carthage was also a republic and had an interesting political system.
Love the game, found out that I have a shit laptop so now I have to save up for a new pc -,- too bad but I guess thats what needed to play this awesome game
How does he get the turns to go so fast? It takes like 2 mins when I end turn.
Can all you guys shut up about the inaccurate stuff about the game was CA alive during this time? You guys can probably be wrong yourself it's just a game if you don't like it don't play it please I find this amazing whether it's a inaccurate or not
If there are people who think Rome 1 > Rome 2 and ache about inaccuracy they should most definitely be slapped with a fish.
Canucklug lol the fish slapping idea was funny. not that I am taking sides on any arguments, just thought that was a hilarious threat
I like certain realism, but also I enjoy a smooth fun gameplay experience as well. Too much realism would get odd I think, but some is nice indeed
Prepares artillery assault.
Lots of units just stand there in a tight formation not even trying to run or at leeast spread a little.
DIfficulty: Hard.
Rome 2 AI, everyone!
Yea it would be nice if they would seek cover or run out to stop the barrage
HeirofCarthage
To be fair other total war games had that problem as well with arty. I think, however overal AI is at least ok now, safe for the sieges, i think the game might improve on that issue if they remove the torching gates deal. Thanks for the vids mate, this is actualy awesome to watch.
Knight Heaven I've never had this problem in any other Total War game. Perhaps Empire, but I've never played that.
Wow. Is Rome II now playable? Because when it was launched it was terrible. Is it now ok?
Heir of cartage do you still play rome 2 total war?!
This is what I think of when I think Heir of Charthage
lol well hope I lived up to the expectation
Do the weapon upgrades Heir did in the beginning effect the missile damage of those skirmishers too?
It can depending on the upgrade
Heir, Will you try to recreate an army similar to Hannibal's army when He invaded Italy and try to stay more historic or will you create your own history in the campaign?
I can try, but to be honest recreating Hannibal's version of events in this campaign will be difficult as the diplomacy most likely wouldn't allow it. It will be my own history mixed as best I can with the reality I think.
Understood!! Good luck! This time Rome will fall!
I would really suggest you find a friend to play a head to head campaign against eachother with this DLC. Would be more entertaining i think.
Head to head is fun, but it is hard for me to coordinate my schedule with others for this type of recording
What if they made a "Story mode DLC" about the first Punic war where you have to fight a series of setup battles with lots of cinematics.
Yeah, Like Rome Total War: Alexander
That is a great idea actually.
dude, it is a terrible idea to start off hiring mercenaries before establishing a strong economy
how do you aim your balista at an area
Hi Hannilbal,
I hope you record the Carthage grand campaign live stream and put it on youtube cos I watch it from Singapore and we're 12 hours ahead of US EST. I've been hoping to watch a Total War campaign I like right to the end for years but most of the ones I like have all been ended prematurely.
Why are you telling that to Hannibal? I think you mean Heir? Also you can watch it from twitch after the livestream is done.
SuperCompany007 Thanks... maybe Hannibal and Heir are now the same difference :) and thanks for the tip abt Twitch.
Anything I live stream will be posted to UA-cam for later viewing :)
SuperCompany007 he streams live via youtube not twitch, idk if he's going to try to use the twitch button via the game for the final carthage campaign though. It'd be interesting
HeirofCarthage Fantastic! And many thanks for putting up the Carthage campaign. Of all the other casters who've done this campaign, yours makes the best use of armies and agents. In my own campaigns, using agents makes can make a bigger difference than just expanding tru outright conquest alone. Agents slightly OP IMO so might as wel make full use of it :)
Iruna the city of my ancestors :)
Why recruit so many mercy right off the bat? They have such a high upkeep cost, why not just recruit units?
The Rome campaign in the grand campaign is the same thing. Several war fronts right away.
Yea lots of fighting early on with the etruscan league and epirus
Not just them, I don't know how many times I've rage quit my Rome campaign, I got Sparta and Athens coming at me from Magna Gracia and sometimes I am able to secure good relations with Syracuse and other times they are coming at me then Carthage and I don't know how the Arverni always conquer so fast, but they are always wrapping at my door.
SkillaWillits What did you do to piss off Spartans and Athens? unless you deliberately did so, i cant see how.
