I like the intro, as someone studying Roman History you do a good job not glorifying the Romans There were times in when Caesar did get off his horse and fight with the infantry, but it was likely he wasn’t on the front, only being on foot to show his soldiers he wouldn’t run away on horseback if the battle went south. It’s important that he earned the loyalty of his soldiers because they were fighting specifically for him and not Rome Politically though he was corrupt as all hell and was bailed out several times by his armed mob of supporters and rich Allies. In his first term a consul his co-consul Bibulus was so afraid of being murdered on the street by supporters of Caesar he spent the whole term locked in his house after he was assaulted in office.
Oh wow a gamer that doesn't go "rome make empire go brrr". Congratulations mate, you're far more cultured than anyone I've randomly played with any game ever.
Siegius is another game i really liked, also liked the use of a hero unit in it. I did like most of the gimmick levels at the time as well and the stories. The final barbarian lvl with the boars was my favorite level. The Siegius arena game was not for me tho, also if you do not really know what to do you get swarmed and die, and after figuring it out it is too repetitive. And the movements just felt clunky
I have to disagree about the sieges arena part it’s a good game we literally talking about old flash games here if there was for sure combos and were more polished it will be amazing game anyway love your videos 🙏
So a lot of our conceptions of European history tend to be biased towards Europeans. For example, the idea that Europeans were a dominant, technological powerhouse in the early modern era was far from accurate actually. The Romans really did not have a technological advantage over the northern peoples (Gauls, Germans, Celts, etc). Generally, the Roman's were typically fighting against people groups with more well-trained fighters. This was because they tended to be warrior cultures, in which every male was a professional warrior with quite a bit of combat experience. Yet a warrior culture generally struggles to fight against structured national armies, for a few reasons: 1. Warrior cultures are (usually) highly decentralized. As such, rather than having a united identity, they're actually a highly disparate group of tribes. That, and the environmental conditions which bring about warrior cultures are usually a lot of low-level infighting, pushing the people of said culture to favor masculinity over femininity and expect every male to be armed and ready to fight. This left a lot of the northern peoples as groups of small tribes and villages who were in almost constant conflict between one another. This, coupled again with the decentralization, made uniting against a common enemy very difficult. Usually it took a charismatic leader, such as Vercingetorix. 2. Warrior cultures are undisciplined. By undisciplined, I mean their armies tend to consist of large mobs of men, rather than organized formations. This is because a large united army was an exceedingly rare thing for warrior cultures, and so they did not have systems in place such as a chain of command or large formation drills (besides smaller ones used for inter-tribal warfare). This forces all tactics to be simplistic, either ambush or direct assaults, because there is no command structure in place. This also makes warrior culture armies lack cohesion. Since nothing but the hope of victory particularly has them in place, they break and run fairly easily, worsened again by the lack of command structure. THAT is why the Roman Empire defeated the northern peoples, because they had the advantage of a unified, highly organized and disciplined national army, which often consisted of LESS skilled and WORSE equipped soldiers than their enemies. North American native peoples actually were in the same position. And they also are hit with the same stereotype, that they fought with inferior technology. They absolutely did not, and in fact fought with superior tactics far more well-suited to the environment of frontier America. The disadvantage they faced was the disadvantage against all warrior cultures against a national army (although there are notable exceptions such as the Aztec, Incan, Mayan, and Iroquois empires), with the added disadvantage of a much smaller population after 90% of them were wiped out by disease
Siegus taught me that, when in doubt, spam as many units as you can
Screw the health upgrade, I’m casting two screenwide columns of legionnaires
Spam fire archers! :D
Glorious Morning is the national anthem of flash games.
"Caeser, barbarians are on our horizon."
"Attend to it, centurion."
"Roger. Removing the horizon."
Now THIS is quite the blast from the past
Waterflame also composed the OST of Raze, and about half of Geometry Dash Official levels use his music. What a legend
He also made the music of the game castlestorm, which is a mix of age of war and castle building
Honestly, I really liked the gimmick levels, it kept the campaign fresh. Also the dialogues were pretty funny
NAH AGE OF WAR??? And I thought I couldnt get any more hyped about your channel after seeing the sonny video
One of the most beautiful flash game in my opinion. I replayed it many times, even right now, without upgrades challenge (more than possible btw)
I remember this gladiator turn based rpg where you can have multiple fighters and store them, hope you can find it
Sounds like Sands of The Colosseum to me
Eonless being masterofroflness for 1 minute and some seconds in the beginning.

Siegius slaps, another sick video man
this is the first game you've covered that I haven't heard of, but I have played Raze
forgot the name of this old gem, thanks for reminding me of it!
Man that game is and still is a blast 🎉🎉❤
Holy smokes that was the name of that 2d team based shooter with the zombie super soldiers, SFH was a blast.
Oh wow a gamer that doesn't go "rome make empire go brrr". Congratulations mate, you're far more cultured than anyone I've randomly played with any game ever.
One thing to note is, the gauls did in fact sack rome first, while it was in it’s infancy, long before caesar and vercingetorix albeit.
When is the mud and blood video coming out 😢
May I humbly suggest Swords and Sandals as a possible candidate for you to look at?
YESSSSSSS MY CHILDHOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
This game and siegius arena need an official steam release
I hope you make a Shop Empire review

Wondering if we will get a episode for the epic battle fantasy series eventually
