@@OltrePodcast_Official You didn't say they had to be in the RTW era, although humans probably got to Sicily prior to their extinction. They were smaller than even the small Elephants the Carthaginians used, though.
@@RRW359 yes, probably. but if elephants in sicily were so abbundant we would have records of greek cities like syracuse making extensive use of them, which they didnt. Other hellenistic kingdoms made use of the pachiderms, but they were all imported specimens, not native for sure.
As long as they don't have stone walls, in early game you can conquer almost any settlement with one unit of elephants and several units of Balearic slingers.
Yeah in this video the player was pretty lucky. On very hard, very hard the Brutii and Scipii will attack in full force even before you can send your full army to attack the first Numidian city or just after.
I know that this comes as an obvious fact but the Senate only reinforce the 2 Julii towns and Scipii capital. The Brutii was always left out. See where I’m going with this ?
@@Hyde_HillMobile version makes it much harder to fight manually. Therefore, I adopt the auto resolve only challenge. Carthage game plan: 1. Don’t overcommit, don’t overextend. 2. Abandon Caralis. 3. Sicilian foothold. 4. Sink all Roman ships/transports. 5. Consolidate Magna Graecia. 6. Turtle and Boom. Explanation: Same problem with the Greeks and Seleucid, Carthage can be overrun and salted less than 10 turns. Assault Numidia, risk being overextended. Storming Spain, risk being picked off. Sicily is the most logical choice, amphibious assault. Letting the Scipii take Syracuse and gain nothing other than Messana. Take Syracuse from the Greeks first and occupy it. Develop max barracks and stables like Carthage. AI almost always attack Sicily and Africa, rarely on Iberia and Balearic Island. Build groups of 4 biremes to sink all Roman ships as well as transport the Sicilian force to Magna Graecia. Since the Senate only reinforce the 2 Julii settlements ( Arretium, Ariminum ), drive out the Brutii from Tarentum and Croton. From here, defend and build up. Keep the Brutii confined in Greece. The same goes for Numidia and Spain. Play the defensive game with Numidia. They’ll never beat your military, only that they are just flies pestering about. Hire all possible mercenaries in Spain. “New Carthage” ( Nova Carthago ) can still push you back. Thwart all attacks and maybe take Asturias to relieve the western flank. Only sack the cities that you are definitely sure that it’s growth rate is 5% and above. You can sack Capua. Tarentum, Syracuse and Carthage should be your military camps. All other settlements safe from attacks should produce fleets of 4 and build up economy. Abuse Milquart temples for trade settlements and Baal for Africa and chokehold strategic recruitment ones.
Me when I play Carthage: one just one chance that they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!!!! “Gets conquered by numbia while besieging Rome”
Psss... I have not played Rome Total War, I hope it was not in the game, but seeing the loading screen of other TW games tells me it is edited, I hope I didn’t screw up.
I'm playing Macedonia right now, I hope this will be as fun too. The only thing I figured out is, that Bruti hates me and also Dacia. But Dacia loses every time, needs over 10 rounds to gather something similar to an army and then loses while trying to attack my cities.
"Romanes Eunt Domus" Was that in the game? I don't think it was lol, whoever makes these videos is a genius. The sheer knowledge of memes and culture (love that you put the Sopranos in almost every video) is unmatched if you compare it to other youtubers. Cheers, keep making great content!
@@Gr3nadgr3gory Yup. "Romanes eunt domus? People called Romanes they go the house?!" or something to that effect, that's how the scene starts. I was just wondering if Pertinax added that quote or was it in the actual game. I don't remember it being there, so I just assumed that it's another brilliant reference made by Pertinax.
Ah yes, Caralis, also known as ‘What’s the hell is the Julii’s deal?!’. Also in my campaign, after I took Messana, the Scipii just sorta bled out, they attacked the Greeks at Syracuse several times but it never amounted to everything due to my intervention. After that they were basically a non entity and then they got destroyed by a slave rebellion because they only had their capital.
1:24 That Caralis invasion. I swear to Baal, EVERY....SINGLE...GAME...These Julii will just send one Legion after another until they take it. Naturally the counter is to play to Carthage's historical strength, namely: naval superiority. Yet that dose not mean the place is safe. Mess up patrolling the island ONCE, and they will somehow manage to place half their arsenal in the place. Patrolling the north of the island sometimes is not even enough as the Julii expand on Gallic lands and later into Iberia and get more ports from which to send another invasion fleet, as if you are the Mongol invasion from Medieval 2 and they must drop EVERYTHING to end you.
When i first played has carthage i went for rome first but stopped in Capua bc of chockpoint an then went for numibia, it was a very good game until mi pc died
What perplexes me about Carthage is they don’t get archers… but they do have war elephants with archers
Easy, The bows only work on war elephants.
Britons have the same thing: archers on chariots, but none on foot
Also, I'm pretty sure there are Carthaginian archers... in the Numidian roster (they're called Carthaginian in the game files iirc)

As we all know, Sicily was full of free range elephants
Actually it was. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_elephant

There was elephants and lions in north Africa 2000y ago, don't know about Sicily

---loses Lilybaeum

very cool
ah yes, the great gift of wisdom that is Grand Strategy!

The perfect answer to squalor death spirals.
Every experienced RTW player knows this is the right path to a successful campaign!
classic total war

Shhhh, what if the Romani hear?!
@@febbra2 Romans: *Overhear You*
Also Romans 2 Secs Later: *We Empire Now*
And if they do have stone walls, some town militia or Iberian infantry late game as sapper sl@ves would work
Now you just have to survive the other 3 Roman factions sending everything at you in itsly

There's one thing you need to know about early game Roman units:
War elephants beat the sh*t out of early Roman units 🐘🔥
@Josué Ortega, I don't remember much about Rome 1 , but the velites and the pilum fire would make a lot of damage to those elephants.

What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?
Go home GI but in barbarian
This editing is so smooth i didnt even realise 4~ minutes have passed.

“Gets conquered by numbia while besieging Rome”
*Numidia
this was so much easier to watch without the damn hitmarker sound ahhaha
first
the video was 10/10 i cant wait for more
Always a nice surprise to hear a cackle from Stavros ‘The Mind’ Halkias slipped in
Are you gay too, brother?
Hell yeah, dude. Dream to imagine.
Dude I literally rewinded to see if I was going crazy
*I ' m G a y .*
Is this the same guy who wasn’t that fat in high school? Hell yeah dude.
Very well researched video. Undeniably a brilliant installment in ancient historical scholarship.
Carthage players: gentlemen, today we are canceling the apocalypse..
"Our" apocalypse
1:06 hearing Stavros' laugh really made this clip lmao
Say what you will about UA-cam's algorithm but this was a spot-on recommendation
Think this the best video you have put out, really great editing!
i thought the same
Your channel is going to be big at this rate man. Really like the way your videos are incredibly chill and not too loud!
2:10 He actually changed the quotes from the original games. Excellent job Mr. Pertinax.
The most epic comeback I've ever seen
My God, you are taking me back in the years mate
You best man! Hello from Russia!
Правильнее было бы:"You are the best,man".Просто поправляю.
I laughed so hard, fucking BRILLIANT vid
superb work man, gasping when Mr Bitconnect showed up
Bit ConnnNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
I am currently watching the film of Brian, I am two scenes after the scene of the graffiti of the Romans go home. What a reference and what a video.
Psss... I have not played Rome Total War, I hope it was not in the game, but seeing the loading screen of other TW games tells me it is edited, I hope I didn’t screw up.
Your channel seriously needs to blow up in subs
This content is god tier
In the words of the immortal Alan Johnson:
“The scythe is remorseless.”
Truly excellent taste in TV shows, Pertinax.
Been a long time since I've seen weatherman Arthur. Feel like I've gone back in time 12 years.
If you are a true total war fan, this content is 100% for you. Subbed! May this channel be blessed with subs!
The stavros laugh... I cannot believe it..
Great as always! I really like how you do not play perfectly, makes it way more interesting
This is the best channel I've ever found. I found it an hour ago but have watched all your videos
Blessed stav laugh
Hell yeah dude
Man, it is great! We need more videos like that
Great edit, didnt see one like this for a long time, keep up the good work!
God tier editing that strike got me good
Your editing style has improved tremendously compared to Britannia Experience video. Love it, keep it up !

This Is a certified Barca original
This is, by far, the best video i've ever seen

Keep up the great work, New to the channel but I love your videos man.
ah yes Rome Total War. i do love some Rome 1 content

this is amazing
How many memes can you fit in one video?
Pertinax: YES
These are all phenomenal
Hannibal- has only one elephant in Italy
Total war and all other games and movies based off him- Elephants, elephants all around
I rate this as Poggers of the highest order
Man these are masterful
Once more, an epic representation of a total war game
Rome: noo you can't just use elephants
Carthage: haha elephant goes brrr
Maaaan these videos are amazing
For real I hope your channel explodes
Awesome work mate!!!
I love this
Всё лучше и лучше от видео к видео. Успехов!)
I heard that "The scythe is remorseless," you can't hide it from me
Good video friend just continue!

This shit is fresh
That’s the way she goes
“That’s the way she goes”, I’m dead with the TPB reference
It was said at that time, the North African Elephant never went extinct (They just became an invasive species to Rome).
2:33 megamind ❤
New sub here, regards from Spain, loving your videos mate!
Glorious
Great mash up 👍, it was worth the small loan of a million dollars 😉
Finally man we missed you
Better editing than the entire new Star Wars trilogy.
Soo Epic! Thank you!
I still play this masterpiece. It's my favorite game😎
This man can really make any game entertaining!
Just found this channel. Hope to see some modded medieval 2 total war lol. Anyways, great content dude
Exterminating your former settlement as punishment for losing so easily
The scythe is remorseless.
Stav laugh suprised me
literally experienced the same when I played Carthage for the first time when Jully attack Caralis :D
“Holy shit Carthage’s elephant spam is overpowered, it needs to be fucking nerfed.”
- Anyone who faces Carthage
How is this so funny yet so painful
When i first played has carthage i went for rome first but stopped in Capua bc of chockpoint an then went for numibia, it was a very good game until mi pc died
Hannibal woud be proud
The game we all love an grow up with
