You all are killing it on the support of these videos. Please keep it up if you can. It is helping my channel a ton in terms of bringing more traffic and getting this series recommended to others. As I said in the video if you all keep up the support like this cause you enjoy the Rome 2 stuff...then I will just start another series right after this one to help thank you for your time and effort. Happy to bring you all what you want and really appreciate all you are doing to help me out. It is making a HUGE impact.
I am still responding to all comments though admittedly I am a day or two behind. So be patient with me if you can. You will all get a response for taking the time to help me.
Always happy to help promote awesome content Heir!
And thanks for the many years of content laughs & good times all the way back to the patchy shogun 2 days !
How is this game 8 years old already. Time sure does fly. Just like javelins from the loving arms of Hannibal's Royal Peltasts.
I really like your mercenary armies, it fits the Punic theme with Hannibal and the Seleucids used lots of mercenaries anyway.
Yea they are really handy right now. I may replace them some over time with Seleucid units but for now they ad some key units and some flavor. Thanks!
@@HeirofCarthage that's what I miss in some later Total War games, Rome 2 has quite a variety of units and mercenaries let you be more flexible. So good to see you using them to your advantage!
I've never liked the Warhammer games so I really appreciate you playing historical Total Wars as said before. Keep going.
Same.
Yeah. Me too
Same
Agreed, TW feels estranged somehow
Same here. I am infinitely more invested in seeing historical empires with (somewhat) historical troops, governments and ideologies go head to head, than I am interested in learning what the "Skaven" are or otherwise filling my brain with lore pertaining to some hand-painted table-game LOTR rip-off. I love the unadulterated historical nerdiness of Rome II, and the fact that Heir seems to share in that love. Really enjoying this throwback content, and also the excellent community interaction on the part of Heir. God I hope CA can come up with a good, historically accurate TW game. Needless to say I will be watching any and all Heir campaigns on such a game with considerable gusto.
I was just thinking: "I need more of Heir's Seleucid campaign. When's the next episode coming?"
Just posted part 7 now too! Glad you are enjoying it.
What you can do at court is Secure Promotions
-To other parties, this gives them more power through gravitas but will increase their loyalty and reduce army upkeep of generals (doesnt seem to be applicable to admirals for some reason?)
-To your party, it's very key in my opinion especially if you like me field armies using your main party as it reduces their rising upkeep, also gives more gravitas which is key to either make court actions or keep control over your empire.
Other things that increase loyalty is winning battles with 'other party' characters for example, and avoiding the things that they do hate. For instance the 'hate easterners' if you have treaties with eastern empires they will lose loyalty etc.
Thanks for reminding me about this ! I used it in part 7 today.
Selucids are always fun to watch because of their starting position and unit variety.
I agree. It makes them a very fun faction to play.
More Hannibal means more elephants and I love watching the enemy crushed under the might of some mighty pachyderms!!
lol that is right! Patchy's Pachyderms!
Clickbait title: "Javelins make our elephants more deadly... to our own men!"
JAVELINS make our ELEPHANTS more DEADLY... TO OUR OWN MEN!
lol I love it!
Heir if you click on other party family members there are certain actions you can make them do like holding games or sending them as diplomats that will increase party loyalty. You have to balance it thought because it will raise their influence but sometimes if you're lucky they might die on a mission. There are also mods that basically disable loyalty so you don't have to bother with the political stuff.
Thanks for this tip. I used it in part 7 today and it helped raise loyalty some.
It’s so nice to see that Heir’s community is stepping up to get him better views and more channel growth. Gotta say though, I am loving these videos. They will be my go to when I play the Seleucids
I am really thankful for the help. The viewers on this series are helping a ton with this support. So I am trying my best to keep up with all the comments and keep these videos coming. Hope your new PC is great and you are getting some good gaming in!
I hope we can make this whole thing worth your while. I also really enjoy the callback, hopefully Rome wioll be a formidabe enough enemy for the finale of this campaign.
It is definitely worth my while when folks are enjoying and supporting like this. Happy to make these for you.
I subscribed to your channel 2 years thanks to Rome 2, but after HOC make Warhammer I start to forget about this channel and now I return to watch your videos back, keep going
Welcome back! I know not all like Warhammer. I still like it better than Rome 2 but obviously that doesn't mean I don't like Rome 2 :) Thanks for watching.
Fantastic series, love how no matter how much your outnumbered, your never phased by it, you just use the superior abilities of your troops so well, amazing to watch 👍⚔🐘
Thanks! With elephants and pikes you can overcome some fairly large numbers disadvantages if you play your cards right. Both units have special roles that if not countered properly allows them to perform massively well.
The support is doing so well, I haven't watched a Heir vid in years but episode 1 appeared on my feed this morning and now I'm here!! loving the series man!
Always love the historical campaigns, Rome 2 is somethin else. I could look at the campaign map all day! Thanks for the vids
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoy it. I love making this one.
This series is such a pleasure to watch. Really looking forward to seeing Hannibal head west and cause trouble in the Aegean.
Thanks! Yea it is going to be a lot of fun.
Here even though I'm currently playing a pontus campaign on my own.... and the seleucids are driving me crazy!!! Keep it up Heir, new campaign after this one sounds awesome. Maybe pontus next so I can see where I'm going wrong lol
Edit:HIDE FOLIAGE!? Heir I swear I learn something useful in damn near all your Rome 2 videos
Yea the hide foliage is so good on the forested maps. You can't see anything without it.
Love Rome 2 videos, not sure if this was already pointed out in another comment, but you should really start to use champions and diplomats. the champions can make your units so much stronger just by giving xp per turn to them
Thanks for the reminder to use heros. I will try to look at it. I forget about agents in this game as I am used to agents being in my armies in the newer games.
love this series, more seleucid vids!
I will keep them coming! Thank you.
That last fight was awesome, I love mop up operations where all the units really shine.
Algorithm support! Really great to see the historical Total Wars again. I really enjoy the narrative aspect, makes it really fun to watch!
Thank you so much! Your support does help a lot. Glad you all enjoy this.
Antiochus Conquerer of Galatia! It amazing how comfortable you are using the troop types in Rome 2. Whopping large armies with little effort (unless elephants go on the rampage ...)
I spent some much time playing this game that it is like riding a bicycle. I may get rusty but after a bit of practice it just comes back. Thanks for watching!
It would be pretty fun to see you do a Lusitani playthrough imo. They're quite a tricky faction to play
Currently I am playing Kush, and it has proved to be quite the challenge. I seem perpetually both strapped for cash and attacked from all sides. Sticking in there because I want to see my elite kushite skirmishers and armoured shotel warriors pulverise Roman legions before the gates of Rome itself.
They are a fun faction. Love their light javelin armed swords and their heavy swords have great attacks as well. But their roster is certainly more limited than something like Seleucids.
Thank you for the kind words - give yourself credit, too! This is a really fun campaign to watch so far - you're hitting a great balance of mechanics-talk vs. battle-action, which makes it engaging, and that honestly makes a huge difference to me as a viewer, at least. I have stalled and lost interest in a few of your older campaigns occasionally, because of exactly this, so without any sort of flattery, I do think you've improved.
Thank you! Really glad to hear you enjoy this style.
When it comes to political parties, you can promote their members for loyalty, and there are options to send them to boost food output and public order in settlements which will boost up loyalty. I think promoting their members in that menu will boost loyalty, too. The last option is my favorite because it gives generals bonuses.
Thanks for the tips! This will help a lot.
Really enjoy the use of mercenaries-adds alot of excitement and diversity! Would love to see you stick to using a couple in each army as you pass through each culture region and get access to mercenary elites!
I love the mercenary system in this game. It definitely adds a nice element to unit diversity. Thanks for the support!
I am currently on vacation with my family, including a newborn Nephew. I am really enjoying it, but your videos are what I watch to wind down at the end of the day.
Thanks! Hope you are enjoying vacation and getting some good relax time.
Absolutly love this campaign! I love warhammer total war, but I appreciate you playing historical Total Wars
Thanks! I love Warhammer as well. But definitely still like Rome 2 also. Good for me to have some variety to play too.
Loving this campaign! I rewatch your Legendary West Rome campaign on Atilla almost every month or so (fun times with the great Sextus Perennis!). Hopefully looking forward to more historical campaigns. You'll always have my support Heir!
Part of me wants to replay that campaign cause I don't have the save file and can't finish the original.
Loving the Rome 2 campaign. You're the guy who got me into this game and your basic battle mechanics tutorial was how I first learned to play. Looking forward to more!
Thanks! Glad to hear the videos helped. Appreciate the support.
Great to see these coming thick and fast , Howe it’s been a 9 year journey with you and loved it so far.
Thanks for all the years of support! I will keep the episodes coming about every other day for now.
So good to see you back in Rome II Heir, The Seleucid campaign was always a favourite of mine, second only to Carthage of course :)
Thanks! It is good to be back and I appreciate all the support.
you could send them on mission to other contries or cities, that will improve their loyalty and also give your faction some buffs.
Thanks! I did that in the part 7 I released today.
Loving this campaign! Really takes me back to watching Patchy campaigns in high school
lol man good times. Glad you like it. I love making these for you.
Hey Heir, I'm pretty sure theres an edict that increases party loyalty by 10 for the party that controls the province.
Thanks! I will check that out.
Yes please! Another historical campaign after this! That’d be great
I will keep doing one at all times. They are a lot of fun.
Another west Rome campaign would be amazing. I’m glad you’re getting the support you deserve on these videos. You go above and beyond on your content and UA-cam needs to give you some love for it!
Thanks for the kind words. I am trying to keep up with all the comments. Really appreciate what you and so many others here are doing to support.
The Belizarius campaing in Atilla, would be magnificent. Stay strong as always devotee to histori and games of the same sort
Man it has been a long time since I played any Attila. Thanks so much for supporting!
You were always an amazing creator, all the way back to the early days. I fell out for like 3 years, always trying to remember the name of "that one total war guy", and landed back on you and prince of Macedon in a really important time for me. Love the work man! Keep it up!
Thanks! Prince got me started into Total War videos by me watching and enjoying his so much. Appreciate all the years of support!
Been watching since the og otomo campaign and havent regretted it since. Keep up the great work and hope to see more Hannibal nut shots soon!
Thanks for the years of support! lol gotta love the nut shot animation.
Heir, so glad to be watching TW Rome 2 again, makes me remember years ago watching you play and playing my own campaigns, such a fun game with awesome campaigns. Love the gameplay!
Welcome back! Glad you are enjoying it!
Absolutly love this campaign! Brings back all the great memories😎
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the support!
Aaah i have fond memories of both your eastern rome and ostrogoths campaign in Attila, seeing you return to that game would be a blast
I may at some point. Trying to keep a historical campaign going.
I love the mercenary units. They may not be the most cost effective, but they sure are cool to see in battle.
We've been fighting Galatians for ages, the AI gets so many bonuses it's crazy. Wave after wave of crap on just 1 settlement.
Been following this series as close as possible, so glad you’re doing this man.
Well done on the first battle of the episode, was a tough one for the pikemen.
Thank you! Yea it was a dicey one for them. Pikes are great but in the wrong position they are a liability.
take your faction leader (and spouse) and either send gifts or give promotions to secure another party's loyalty
you can also host feasts in your provinces to boost your food and income for a few turns (edict dependant)
Thanks for the ideas! This will help.
Love these videos, have been watching Rome 2 videos from you since 5 years ago.
I really like this series, it's nice to see Rome2 again! :D
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying it!
Really enjoying the series so far, love watching the elephants trample everything! Keep it up, would be great to see more rome 2 campaigns!
Thanks, will do! and yes more to come.
Once again, a stellar episode! I love your Rome 2 content!
Thank you!
Greek Emperors had the most awesome sounding titles: Megas Basileus Strategos Autokrator!
Just want to say, this is the first campain i got to See from you, and i love it!
gonna watch some older playthroughs now in between the episodes
Glad to hear you are enjoying it! I will keep these uploading every other day and yea I have a lot of other playlist waiting for binge watch if you need it.
Loving this play through Heir
Thank you! I love making it.
Love these gameplay! Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
Man enjoy just puting you on after a long day of workouts everyday been checking out just wanted to say keep coming with the videos they are awesome can't wait to see you conquer everyone!!!
Glad to hear you are enjoying it so much. Thanks for the support!
Thank you, Heir! Just top-level content.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and support.
Love the content heir watching you made me play my first campaign this year thanks heaps.
Thanks! Glad to hear you are enjoying this and playing some campaign of your own.
Love the campaign videos heir, been watching you for years and these were always my favorite vidoes
Glad you like them! Thanks for all the years of support.
Well sir, I thank you for making these videos. You are awesome! Blessings to your family
Thank you so much! This helps a ton.
Whenever Heir does a historic campaign I'm always onboard :D
Thank you!
Really glad to see these videos doing so well!
Thanks! It is because of folks supporting with comments and likes like you did here. Thank you.
The Pyramids where indeed sometimes Snowy, in 2013 it was snowing there, had not been happening since 113 years.
Man...that is crazy.
Thank you for the video!
This series are still missing someone: "Where is Patchy?"
Also think you can upgrade ships for hull strength as you do armies for armour and weapons.
P.S. 4:10 It was snowing in Cairo few years ago. And it happened several times in the recorded history, lol.
P.S.S. There is special edict to increase loyalty of the parties. Also I think warious political actions like secure promotion (used by character from party) may help. And look at party prefetences (red and green laurels).
Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it.
Loving the campaign Heir! Keep it up
Thank you! Appreciate the support!
Patchy factory oh how that brings me back. Thanks for keeping up on your videos over these many years.
Glad you like them! Yea I am trying hard not to make any in this one...but time will tell.
Keep up the awesome work!
The one temple (may be poseiden actually?) does both public order and sanitation. I usually run that one on every capitol city
Thanks! Appreciate the good idea.
@@HeirofCarthage One other thing; regarding autoresolve. The army stack that initiates the attack is the one that takes the strange, gross autoresolve casualties. You can use a few trash units in a second stack as the aggressor with your main force reinforcing it to avoid autoresolve elephant losses to a great degree.
I went on vacation and came back to like 4 more Rome 2 videos from Heir, Awesome! feels like I'm still on vacation
I think others have offered wonderful advice regarding the politics system, but I'd like to remind you of agents! Champions can help with units exp and dignitaries add economic bonuses when deployed and I believe they can also boost loyalty if deployed in provinces owned by your opposition. Thanks for so much fun, loving it!
Yes I keep forgetting about agents. Thanks for the reminder!
I just started playing rome 2 again a couple weeks ago watching some of your Iceni campaign, low and behold here comes heir with some fresh Rome 2 content
Good timing then! Glad you are enjoying this!
That second battle against the Galatians went a lot smoother than the first one. Your Mercenary Veteran Hoplites are definitely crucial for defeating Galatia. I believe the Galatian infantry you're referring to is the Galatian Legionaries. Good episode. I am looking forward to the next one!
Yea they made a huge difference.
Fun fact about ancient Egypt since you just conquered it. In the Ancient Egypt days, there was a "Upper" and "Lower" Egypt, 2 separate countries. The interesting part is that the portion they called "Lower Egypt" was in the North while the portion they called "Upper Egypt" was in the south. That's because they based the names off the flow of the river Nile.
Thanks for the info. That is cool.
"Love the nut kick there by Hannibal" 😂😂😂
YES HEIR!!! Keep doing these campaigns. I listen to these when I do homework and it is amazing.
Thanks! Hope it helps you get through that homework. I still have PTSD (jokingly of course) from all the homework from back in school for engineering.
@@HeirofCarthage lmao. First year in college for Ag business so hopefully all goes well
Yet another great video. Keep it up. Would love close-ups when you can :)
Thanks! And thanks for the reminder. Yes I will try to get some close ups in when I can.
I'm not a subscriber, but I started a new Seleucid campaign and wanted to get some tips for the strategy and that just happened to be the same day you posted your first episode of the Seleucid campaign so I started watching. I've since watched every episode on my time, so I'm a little behind the schedule, but I've really been enjoying it and hope you continue the series long term. I watch about 2-3 of these videos a week so your schedule is perfect for a viewer like me.
Heir that second battle against the Galatians, was a joy to watch. Good calls on the mercenary Hoplites and Thureos spears. I suggest that you upgrade the barracks in Syria too, to have access in that province to stables, skirmishers, and Thorax swords and pikes. Also try to upgrade your military docks in Antioch to the final level, it will give you a heavy ship with Syrian heavy archers. As for politics click on any charchter in another party, and try the secure promotion action, should give you some loyalty from them. Really enjoing this campaign!
Thanks for the unit ideas. Yes I was thinking to get those too. I will be making Syria and Alexandria into military hubs for sure then later probably other major settlements.
Would love to see another Rome 2 campaign!
Also, i almost always wait for the reinforcing armies to join the main force before i attack it. Of course, there are situations where the impetus is on me to divide and conquer, and it's not my place to advise you on strategy, but I always find that letting the enemy approach from behind, when the best method of winning in rome 2 is the double envelopment, almost always results poorly.
Yea when I have pikes I don't mind all their troops getting together to die simultaneously as the AI can't out flank pikes. In Warhammer where I can use magic or terror to get a quick route I sometimes like the divide and conquer method.
Surprised to see you back on Rome II but really enjoying it. Way to go Heir. Glad to be boosting your stats.
Thanks! This really does help a lot.
Hey Heir. I'm Greek and a great fun of these historical games! Really enjoying these Rome 2 videos. Look forward to seeing more (Maybe a Sparta campaign?)
Glad you like them! Appreciate your support.
I mean this serious, I suggest leveling either the last skill on the zeal tree to maximum due they give bonus loyalty or the replenishment bonus on the cunning tree
Thanks for the good ideas! I will take a look at it.
Great video heir, love this game!
More than happy to comment to support a great UA-camr who makes entertaining videos. Long may the Heir of Carthage reign
Thank you so much! It helps a ton.
Good luck man I’ve been watching since the old Rome 2 days and you have always made increadible videos
Thanks! Appreciate the years of support.
Great job my friend, we expect moree of this historical campagnes. Just keep rocking ❤️❤️❤️😁
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it. Hope all is well for you.
I've been having fun in Rome 2, but man am I terrible at it. When Heir started this Seleucid campaign I started a Bactria one on medium and got stomped in a siege I started. So I enjoy hearing him talk about the AI's flaws and how to softly exploit them since I can barely cheese corner camping.
There are definitely a lot of ways to take advantage of the AI in this game. The more you play the more you might start to see them. But if you watch here I will show them when I can. Thanks!
This series brings me back to your Carthage campaign
Good times :) Thanks for the support!
Hey man happy to help. I've been watching since your Shogun 2 campaigns. It's the least I can do lol.
Great campain, my dude.. keep them coming...
I will! Thank you for the support.
Loving the series!
Thank you! Appreciate the support and glad to hear you enjoy it.
HAHAHA I LOVED that peracles peasants ad!
This campaign is getting better and better.
I thought youtube was Seleucid-ing when this popped up so quick. Keep up the great work Heir!
Thanks! And part 7 is out now too.
in the politicl screen you can also do personal politics (promoting characters to different offices, getting loyalty from others, etc.) When I play I focus on those interactions to keep other families in check in addition to everything you're already doing.
Thanks for the ideas to help with politics!
Commenting to add that if you research technologies in seconds of the tech tree they provide a bonus.
Loving the campaign as well, makes me want to redownload Rome II again.
Thanks for the advice! Glad are getting a chance to play again.
Keep up the good work love these vids cant wait for the next episode. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Episode 7 is out now.
Watched as soon as it came out😅
That hide foliage thing is pretty slick… I didn’t know you could do that.
Yea it is so hard to see in forested maps without it.
And here I thought we were lucky to get *one* more Rome II campaign out of you ... now talk of a follow up one? Baal Hammon be praised!!
lol yea. People are blowing me out with support on this so why not. I am gonna keep doing Warhammer of course but if you all like Rome 2 this much then we gotta keep it rolling.
