Well, I imagine a Carthage guide is already in the works… after all, how could you possibly resist talking about me! Theodekles! The greatest warrior of all!
Carthage should get archers, Numidia has them, so I took the liberty to add them to the game as well. Makes their roster slightly stronger, though let's be fair: in open confrontation Rome will smash Carthage just like they finally did in real life. To win, a player has to somewhat think outside the box, like Hannibal did. Infantry can hold the line against hastati for some time, but you have to make a play with elephants, the real work -horse- elephants of your army. Cavalry is there for better mobility and it's ok. Carthage in general just has plenty of modding potential, most of their army would be various mercenaries and real "Carthaginian" units would be deployed more sparingly.
You're back?! A couple days ago I checked and was saddened that you left two years ago... And then the great news came. Welcome back, lad! Good to see you around again.
Great to have you back making videos (though take breaks as you need to). When I first learned how to play the normally unplayable factions, Macedon were my first pick. How/when you get involved in the Rome vs Greece war is pivotal. And there’s always the danger that they just attack you or that you get backstabbed by Thrace or Dacia. Really interesting starting position with a brilliant army
very nice good to see you back sir. Just a detail at 3:10 you talk about Gyras being a bad administrator low management ironically the influence bonus is better to manage a city than the actual management one, so at 5 influence plus one management he is actually pretty good for that purpose.
You can't just come back into my life and release a new video without saying a thing! Oh, this put such a smile on my face. Thank you for making my day, and welcome back, mate!
Wow, this was an unexpected surprise to see in my feed when I got home from work. Really happy to see you putting out new TW (or any kind of) content. I actually originally found your channel during a difficult time in my life, and always found your voice nice to listen to back then no matter what the video was about. Here’s hoping you keep these guides (and more) coming! Crossing my fingers for more “Saving the A.I.” videos, though I know they’re pretty niche.
The TL;DR for Macedon's temples: Demeter: Growth, Farmland, Law, Experience (i.e. chevrons) Zeus: Law, Farmland, Experience, Missiles Artemis: Missiles, Law, Farmland Ares: Experience, Morale, Trade, Happiness These same effects also apply to the Alexander campaign although, due to the way that campaign plays out, it's less likely you'll get to make use of them in the long run. Oh, and welcome back, Melkor.
Might just have to boot up Rome again, this is a great guide so I definitely know what faction I'm playing next. You love to see the return after 3 years I love your videos so please keep making them!
I’ll support whatever you choose to cover, but the video definitely seems off compared to older videos. I hope you are doing well and covering content you enjoy covering! Great to have you back!
Welcome back. Missed you! You were right about so much.
Thanks - It's good to be back (although it is likely only temporary)
As for being right 😆 When am I ever wrong? 😆
The world is healing, he returns
The Return of the King
Fitting, considering the channel's name.
Took melkor 3 years to get used to the grotesque new ui but alas, he returns 🎉
XD

XD Literally the next one. I was writing about you, oh great Theodekles, just a couple of hours ago!

THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. PLS DO NOT QUIT THIS TIME
Unfortunately the return cannot last forever, but I hope you can enjoy the moment for what it is.

Melkor retinue expands “Relieved and overjoyed loyal subscriber”
I'm high as hell and was staring at my UA-cam home page for like 5 minutes thinking "Why does this say 38 minutes ago"

My word the man has returned good to have you back my good sir
very nice good to see you back sir. Just a detail at 3:10 you talk about Gyras being a bad administrator low management ironically the influence bonus is better to manage a city than the actual management one, so at 5 influence plus one management he is actually pretty good for that purpose.
True, true. I forgot how useless management is
I never understood exactly what Management actually does
He has returned!
You came back with such a new suave accent! Glad to see you back! Cheers
You got to be kidding me, i just yesterday looked at your channel if you came back
Melkorius returns!
SO Great to have you back !! PLEASE STAY 🏰⚔️
10:22 No wonder the plague happened every gameplay, I noticed it but I didn't realize it was a written event.
Thank you Melkor
I wake up and I find a Melkor video after years of a hiatus. I can already tell this is gonna be a great day
You can't just come back into my life and release a new video without saying a thing!
Oh, this put such a smile on my face.
Thank you for making my day, and welcome back, mate!
XD Yeah, the plan was to not acknowledge anything at all - for a laugh
We salute the funny hat man
the legend returns!
He’s back!???!

Great to see this here. Haven't seen your stuff for a while, very happy to see it.
He is back. We don't have to rewatch your old content another 1000 times
Macedon really did deserve a video that took two years to make. Unsung hero of Rome 1.
Welcome back, your baldness! Hope everything is good, glad to have you back!
Melkor has returned! Gods be praised!
glad to see you back!
Return of the king

The return of the fez at the end of the video too! Epic! 🥳
Hallelujah!!! The legendary, Melkor has returned! 🫡
Welcome back! My favorite Rome Total War UA-camr!
The Return of the King right here.
And an informative guide as always.
Omg he is back!!! Really happy now!🎉
Wait, how is this possible? Best day in this whole year! Welcome back my dear!
Nice to see you back man, hope all is well!
The TL;DR for Macedon's temples:
Demeter: Growth, Farmland, Law, Experience (i.e. chevrons)
Zeus: Law, Farmland, Experience, Missiles
Artemis: Missiles, Law, Farmland
Ares: Experience, Morale, Trade, Happiness
These same effects also apply to the Alexander campaign although, due to the way that campaign plays out, it's less likely you'll get to make use of them in the long run.
Oh, and welcome back, Melkor.
Thanks for dropping by! Happy to see you! I hope it's all going great for you.
Might just have to boot up Rome again, this is a great guide so I definitely know what faction I'm playing next. You love to see the return after 3 years I love your videos so please keep making them!
Welcome back m'lord, hope your stint at university is going/went well!
You just restarted my Rome Total War craving!
I’ve felt so incomplete since you (my favorite UA-camr) left. Happy you’re back bro 😎
Welcome back !
The goat is back!
Great to see you back Melkor.
I subscribed to this channel after the creator quit, so it gladdens me to see that he's back!
Nikocado Avocado is not fat anymore and Melkor is back. What a year!!!
So glad to see a video from you. Hope you're doing well.
Welcome back friend of Rome
Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! It's so good to hear from you! Hope all is going well for you. 😊
I guess I'll actually watch the video now. 😁
welcome back!
I almost didn't believe my eyes WELCOME BACK!!!
I’ll support whatever you choose to cover, but the video definitely seems off compared to older videos. I hope you are doing well and covering content you enjoy covering! Great to have you back!
It might be the mic? - still trying to re-discover the settings.
He's back
Great to see you back lad.
Melkor himself finally returns
