Imagine describing an elephant to someone who's never seen one, then telling them they're going to have to fight one
Roman army had fought eliphants 100 years before Hannibal during the time of pyrrhus of epirus.
@@YellowFlash292 Yes but the average roman soldier of the time most likely had not seen one. Let alone had to stand in formation with a stampede of them coming.
@@YellowFlash292 100 years is a long ass time, the average soldier would definitely have no idea what an elephant looks like
Numidian Cavalry > Elephants
@@YellowFlash292 You have to hand it to the Romans, building carts with spikes and flames all over them and fighting off Pyrus elephants in them. Surely the first kind of 'tank'
-...and march his army...
- Over the Alps, perhaps?!!
*OH BOY...*
A bunch of Roman Captain Picards arguing with eachother.
I dare say that would be quiet the feat, even for the great.. Hannibal Barca! *drumroll* Sometimes I randomly hear this line in the middle of doing something completely different
That line gives me chills... To think that such great men ever existed.
THIS IS NONSENS!
He will bring with him... an army if Elephans. Hahahahaha
Hannibal: Hahahaha. I actually marched over the alps and brought an army of elephants.
Random Roman Senator: "Do you expect the Gauls to welcome him when he arrives!?"
Hannibal: "Yes."
I am so surprised... Why?
Correct me if I am wrong but didn't the Gauls ambush Hannibal's army as it was marching? They acted like they were gonna be friendly but once the army was in the alps they planned ambushes
Hannibal forced the Gauls to join him after defeating and showing no mercy to those who attacked.
@@justiceavenger275 They had a common enemy.
@@ezwan7656 All I know some of barbarian tribes did raid the Hannibal Army while they moving though the mountain pass.
The people who created this trailer are truly talented, they are extremely good at conveying emotions into visual and auditory art.

The voice acting and sound design is awesome too. The senators are dripping with passion with their proposals. While I have seen this trailer many times I usually notice something new. For example, after hearing the Senator say Hannibal will invade from the south and Syracuse will rise in revolt, you can hear him continue to say that they should reduce their taxation while he is being drowned out by the other senators. Overall perfect attention to detail whoever was in charge of this trailer must have a real passion for history.
@@eoinfrompartsunknown I totally agree. It's just sad to think that not everyone appreciates art.
Sadly, became apparent at launch that the trailers is where the talent had went
What an awesome trailer. Hannibal's march over the Alps truly was one of the most legendary military feats in history.
+zellarsDD777 Except it failed him every step of the way. First he lost much of his army to the Gauls, then all but one elephant died during the trip over the Alps (not to mention he lost an eye), and finally, due to false intelligence, he was left with no reinforcements in Italy due to the states refusing to side with him. He did make the trek, but not without much sacrifice that led into his demise and the fall of Carthage.
+Nick De Meersman Argued, which means it didn't happen. Perhaps it could have ended that way, I won't even debate with you on that because yes, it might have gone in his favor. But the point is, he didn't. The fact it was even argued that it could have worked out in his favor proves that he wasn't exactly good at planning ahead. Therefore, not exactly a great feat considering he continually failed Carthage. It was an amazing attempt, however, just could have gone better if he thought through things like "Maybe there's a way to get pass the Gauls without war? Maybe there's a less dangerous path in the alps? Maybe the spies were mistaken?" In other words, have a back up plan. Don't rely solely on plan A. That is poor strategizing.
+zellarsDD777 Indeed it was. I know only of one other general that did something similar. Both of them are two of my favorite Generals in History.
+Sivos Just in part. He coulnd had beaten the romans so many times if he didnt do the unexpected.
In war, there is a saying that it´s much better to fight elements that people.
+Sivos
"(not to mention he lost an eye)"
Hannibal didn't lose his eye in the alps, that happens later.
What a great fucking trailer , i loved the part where they were laughing at the idea of Hannibal crossing the Alps with an army of elephants , no one believing it for a second , and thats exactly what he did , Hannibal was smart , he did what the romans least expected.
+Art 87 Hannibal Barca was and will alwyas be one of the greatest men in history
+Sharkalope productions Um, no, not really. All the generals he defeated weren't "shit", they just weren't good enough. None of them were truly "shit". Perhaps at the river Trebia, the all-too eager Sempronius could have been said to be an incompetent leader, but I would argue that he was a victim of the Roman political system and expectations during that time period.
When the Fabian strategy was in place, he managed to escape Fabius' army that had surrounded him in a trapped in a valley, with the only exit blocked by the Romans. And after that incident, Hannibal went to Fabius' manor, destroyed everything near it but his actual property. So now it would appear that Fabius was even more of a coward than he already was, but was also an idiot and possibly a traitor.
He managed to draw so many Roman armies into supposedly good terrain to fight in, that is to say, flat and treeless. But at Trebia and Gerunium , he had hid troops in bushes or in ditches. And as you know the Romans were defeated. Except at Gerunium, the cautious Fabius saved them from certain defeat.
And at Cannae, neither of the two consuls were fools. As you already know, Paullus was the grandfather of the historian patron Scipio Aemilianus, who would have defended his reputation. Varro on the other hand, not so lucky, he was the first in his family to become a consul. But we know that Varro wasn't a total idiot because he was later given important commissions and military commands.
Of course Hannibal's victory at Cannae can largely be chalked up to how well he knew his opponent, who basically used the same tactics over and over again. Punch through the middle, eat away at the rest of the army from there. The deployment of his army was genius, the total encirclement of a large army with a smaller one, unheard of before. He knew how weak, or strong his troops were, and knew how strong the Romans were, and used this to his advantage.
And at Zama, Hannibal had finally met his match. Not someone who merely "knew what they were doing" but someone who had much experience in conquering Spain and defeating Hasdrubal. But, Hannibal no longer had as many veteran troops he could rely on in battle. And I would still say he was a very good leader, being hired as a military advisor by the Seleucids many years later. Of course at Thermopylae and Magnesia the Seleucids lost to the Romans, but this is merely indicative of the bad fighting habits of most Hellenistic rulers of that time period, lack of discipline/bravery, and the disastrous use of chariots/elephants.
But yes, his victories in the Second Punic War were hollow, amounting to nothing less than a mountain of dead Romans. Even if he did not intend it, his mountain of dead Romans set off a massive chain of events that culminated the death of the republic and birth of the empire.
What battle are you talking about?
+ArticWolfProductions I think that kid meant the battle of agincourt.
"Gonna bring some mothafuckin elephants, those bitches won't know what to do."
Hannibal must have really hated Rome for crossing the Alps with elephants.
actually yes. He did infact hate every single roman.
He did. his father made him swear that he would forever be an enemy of Rome. This is largely in part to the humiliation that Carthage faced after losing the first Punic war, and the harsh conditions the Romans imposed
Netherlands Ball well yeah of course he did
"I swear that as soon as age permits, with fire and steel, I will arrest the destiny of Rome"
Turns out he just hated elephants
of all those years, this is literally the best trailer of anything I have seen. this whole scene, voice acting, Roman Senatores argue with each other, they're just amazing.
Agreed. The amount of balls it took for him to take the trek over the Alps was suicidal. That's why they never expected it. It's the same thing that happened when Scipio took his legions and invaded Africa. One thing that gets overlooked at the battle of Cannae is that Hannibal was able to hide his elite units in the flat terrain in the open. (all wearing Roman equipment no less) When they attacked the flanks, I'm sure the Roman's thought it was some type of friendly fire and couldn't catch on to the ruse quick enough to defend. Hannibal was truly Albert Einstein when it came to warfare. Mad respect.
check out the carthage intro from Rome: Total War, the first one, its really good, and is the most accurate portrayal ive ever seen of carthage
@@arizenation3188 oh yeah, that was like, almost ten years ago, right. that was pretty epic.
@@normanharrison8215 first Rome game came out in 2004.. I played it so much that in 2020 when I finally was done with all my dumbness, bought Rome 2 and dlc campaigns just not wrath off Sparta I don't like Greeks much. But everything else this game is great with mods I make it vanilla +++ . I actually would be better with the para bellum mod but then I don't have the Rome 2 HD models.
@@Kvs-vf9nt huh, that's cool. you know, honestly I also think Sparta DLC was rather underwhelming campaign. Romans are unplayable, of course, but more than that, it just… feels like there wasn't any clear set of strategies.
in other campaigns, like Aurelianus, you need to build your defense before reclaim Rome, or Republic, you must finish upgrades to get powerful Triarii. but in Sparta, I mean I beat it once with Spartans, you just do it and hoping for Persians not attacking you or your alliance wouldn't break out until the end.
I mean I didn't play it multiple times, but that felt very strange. so… yeah.
Almost 10 years later and this trailer still goes so hard
Trailers for this game are the best: the amount of epic and pathos are just right for each of them
Nobody expects the Carthaginian Invasion.
R W “Our chief weapon is surprise! Surprise and elephants! Elephants and surprise! Our two weapons are elephants and surprise! And mercenaries...Our three weapons are elephants, surprise, and mercenaries! And an almost fanatical devotion to the Carthage! Our four...No... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...Are such elements as elephants, surprise.... I'll come in again...”
TRIBES ARE INVADING EUROPE AGAIN
@Mohd Idris Ahmed if a black guy killed my father, I should take my revenge upon that guy not the whole race, don't you think it's stupid to wish to destruction to innocent people just because their ancestors were bad??
More than carthaginian, it was barca’s invasion
If u wereca Roman u do t expect invasion at all 😂😂😂
Hannibal : *Marches his army over the Alpes*
Romans : *Wait...thats illegal*
This was by far the most epic trailer.
Ever.
you are an idiot this game is so full of bugs that it almost stincs
Alex Hesson He said the TRAILER, not the game. Besides, i've never really had any major bugs with the game. Although i admit i enjoyed medieval 2 total war significantly more
Alex Hesson Not anymore. There have been various updates since release, including todays Emperor Edition patch (which is free). Check it out. The game is very much improved.
were can i download it?
lol i realy need than because the game is so fucking coll (with no bugs)
Alex Hesson The Emperor Edition update is free, so you can already play it if you update your Rome II. So open up your Steam and update the game!
Poor Hannibal. He doesn't know that Rome has likely already been destroyed by the Venetii or the Etruscans, and that their only legion is currently halfway between the coast of Rome and the edge of the map.
@@radec1906 do you know what paragraphs are?

hahaha
@@radec1906 why tf did you reply 3 years later you little worm
@@radec1906
Shut up
Hannibal is like "Challenge accepted".
In this game Rome lost because their generals partied too much. Look in the video , in the top left of the screen , 2:05 - 2:09.
Rome: Perhaps he’ll cross over the alps and bring with him an army of elephants!!
Hannibal: observe.
Tbf only one elephant survived the crossing. And it couldn't even fight since he was traumatized and probably died after
Bet those senators weren't laughing anymore when he was at their doorstep XD
They knew he had no siege equipment. Kind of silly really, but mostly the fault of the Carthaginian leadership.
Knvkl high command screwed Hannibal. I cry.
I sincerely hope that Senator who proposed he would come from the north took a moment to tell everyone "I told you so."
Knvkl but he did good for a little while I heard he whooped ass I never learned how he got defeat but he was very close to wiping Rome off the map
Half of them would soon be cut down in the fields of Cannae, the metal of their jewelry melted down to pave the floors of the Carthaginian Senate.
I suppose he will bring with him, an army of elephants!! (Laughter)
LOL IF ONLY THEY NEW
***** I read somewhere only like a handful (i'm talking like 2-4) elephants managed to make it and it played a big psychological role against the Romans since they haven't exactly fought elephants before. Lol.
***** I wouldn't retreat instantly. I would already be far away from those elephants.
His army was much smaller, around 40k, and a good amount of that was calvary. He didn't win over the Gauls until he embarrased Scipio at the battle of Trebia.
just use missiles against them and they will run and crush their Carthagian army.
*knew
Hannibal crossing the Alps is just the prelude. He destroyed at least 3 Roman armies of larger size than his own. Seriously one of the best generals of his age. If only he got the support from Carthage he requested.
Interestingly enough, when Mago Barca went before the Carthaginian Senate after the Battle of Cannae to request reinforcements the majority elected to send reinforcements l, but Hanno the Second, a political enemy of Hannibal, used his power and influence to slow the recruitment of the reinforcements by about 6 months. Then when the reinforcements were ready Hanno had convinced the Senate to send them to Iberia instead since Hasdrubal was losing the fight in Iberia.
Probablly Rome will be at hes mercy ...
@@jeterminal9139it’s insane how political rivalry and ego got in the way of so many nations actions. We might not have heard of Rome as much if they put aside their political differences and went for the greater good of the empire
@@jruth77 That feeling when you have a general who is on the verge of wiping off your sworn state enemy off of the face of the Earth but you just wanna have fun, so you sabotage him, and lead to your nation's eventual destruction:
Came here from Oversimplified's Second Punic War.
Same
Same
Idiots
I highly recommend you watch History Marche Hannibal Barca Series Great High Quality History Production with Amazing maps and Details their battle of cannea video is one of the best Battle Videos On UA-cam Ever It shows you how Smart and Great Hannibal was, Only if the Garbage Carthagenian senate didn't betray him
If ever you feel down in life, like nothing is going for you, come back to this for they may laugh at you but you're crossing your alps.
"And I suppose he would swallow an army of elephants!"
"I dare say that would be quite a feast, even for the great Cannibal Barca!"
Gahahaha
Wot lol
Nice.
Lmao
Congrats ! You have achieved CoMeDy
This is so awesome because it happened! Truly, reality outdoes fiction.
Not always. Sometimes they're the same
I hope you are aware that this intro is just an overdramatisation of a well-known historical fact, right ?
@@iuliusconstantcornelio2018 Indeed, I am. But Hannibal did cross the Alps during a season it was thought not possible and caught the Romans by surprise.
@@VRichardsn It was an achievement, I do agree with that...Yet, not enough to break the Republic.
@@iuliusconstantcornelio2018 The Republic's resilience was uncanny. A string of losses such as those suffered in the peninsula would have toppled any other government, but the Republic, a testament to their civic duty.
this trailer is more accurate then History Channel's documentaries xD
Trueeeee
History Channel after 10pm: “Aliens helped Hanibal cross the alps”
"Only Aliens and White enough people can make world wonders" ~ History Channel
I got chills at the end when they started mentioning the alps and elephants.
Hannibal Barca, the greatest badass of the ancient world
pfff thats why alexander did conquer the whole known world in those days
and plus he was 27 when he did that
Facepalm* He didn't conquer the WHOLE known world, but he did conquer alot of it, because if that were true, then how would all the other empires come?
ალექსანდერ ზი გრეიტ Alexander conqured kingdoms Hannibal conqured the ROMAN republic you should know the diffrence rome was the most excellent Nation In military Yet The great Hannibal Barca overcome them in many battels espacially in the battle of cannae butcherd around 90.000 roman in 4 hours i love Alexander but he's no match for Hannibal
kingdoms? which of those he concqured was a kingdom? persian empire? Indian empire? and lets think about the fact that there was no roman republic there was a roman empire and hannibal didn't conqure the roman empire so stop playing games and start reading :P
***** Very true, but if Scipio never entered the picture, Hannibal might have succeeded in defeating the Roman Repuplic
i LOVE this trailer so much, way batter then the new hannibal at the gates trailer. i could watch this trailer a hundred times. wish the actual campaign was as epic.
Play Hannibal at the gates.
Me watching The Second Punic War - OverSimplified and thinking of this trailer.
I love this trailer. Geopolitics in antiquity. Rome has some legitimate rivals including Carthage, Greece, who haven’t been brought under its fold yet.
"I will either find a way or make one."
- Hannibal Barca
Aut inveniam viam aut faciam.
All those senators are like "source? Trust me bro"
02:06 Upper left corner - there is a soldier there having a seizure lol
2:02 As well, how does one notice such a thing...
@@lynarisevershadeshadowfall1684 Seems like a try hard to me XD
It's speed up footage of two soldier's fighting that's why it looks like its having a seizure.
@@lynarisevershadeshadowfall1684 Obviously because, like me, they have watched about 30 times
For those of you who aren't aware: This is historically accurate. Hannibal's plan to invade italy was to cross the Alps in the beginning of winter. It demolished almost all of his forces, but it led to his campaign to take Rome, which very nearly succeeded.
I believe it caused his brain to flick a switch and put him in a perpetual state of full brain capacity that forced him to make his amazing entrapments, encirclements, and military prowess. Rome raised over a million men to fight him. A million men would not be mobilized again in europe until the Napoleonic wars.
the only reason he didn't take Rome is because Hannibal did not possess Siege equipment.
@@noujaadw and he believed Rome still held a large army there but in actuality time had their forces in africa
@@noujaadw from what I recall, thats a very debatable topic. There doesn't seem to be any historical record of why he never attacked Rome, and while the siege equipment is an interesting answer to this question, its still pure speculation
@@noujaadw And the fact Carthage wouldn’t send reinforcements as Hannibal didn’t have the strength in numbers to take rome
That few second scene of one of hannibal's soldiers almost falling, almost proving the Senator's mockery right, but then he rises and keeps marching. Incredible.
Still get goosebumps from these trailers
Too bad the game didn’t love up to any of them at all, especially at release. Roma Surrectum 3 for the original RTW does a better job.
I love this trailer, it's probably my favorite out of any game. The reason being all of this actually happened in the Second Punic War. Every senator making a statement knows a part of the plan, but none of them piece together the BIG picture. It's a great portrayal of Rome's general apathy in the initial days of the Second Punic War, this trailer gets so much cooler when you know all the subtle things the developers put in here :3
This will always be one of my favourite trailers. It perfectly balances the multiple threats you can expect to face in TW with, finally, the terrible arrogance of the Roman Senate overlooking what we all know actually occurred - Hannibal's bold march over the Alps.
Fantastic showcase of the paths available in grand strategy: conservative, slow warfare based on destroying the opponents' allies and economy, diplomacy to forge powerful alliances and cut your enemy's feet out from under him, and, lastly, daring, high-risk high-strategy military maneuvers gambling to win or lose it all. Its use of hindsight is masterful in that respect. While the Romans are distracted defending three fronts, the only one they really overlook - the Alps - almost led to Rome's total defeat.
I think it's cool that every single one of these events happened besides the invasion of Sicily. Seguntum was conquered by the Carthaginians, they did forge some sort of agreement with the Macedonians, and Hannibal. did famously cross the Alps. Also, they start with an adapted quote from Cato the Elder, whom after every speech, no matter the topic, would say something along the lines of, "and I think Carthage should be destroyed." Such a fucking magnificent trailer.
I do agree, this is one of my favorite trailers. And I think Carthage should be destroyed.
C A R T H A G O D E L E N D A E S T
did he go after masalliya?
@@johnberlinski4015 He passed it.
Invasion of Sicily was indeed planned and ALMOST happened but the Romans caught wind of that plan after they captured and interrogated the crew of a stranded ship off the coast of Sicily
This is the best trailer they made for their ancient history games. I watch them every few months.
Agree they are awesome!
All these years later I keep coming back here. Such a great trailer.
"Over the Alps perhaps!"
Hannibal: "Yes."
2:15 - "I suppose he'll bring with him, an army of elephants!"
Hannibal: "Don't tempt me"
Though i know much of hannibal but this trailer brings me to tears of how epic it is. The audio, music, the senators going wild in the background while we see different parts of rome as they fears for the doom coming for them. And the scene of hannibal marching over the alps was just so epic i can't descripe how epic it is. Shame more studios that makes trailers to this day can't make such an epic trailer but the total war team have been real good at making trailers and continuing making great total wars and that feat that have done that for so long. They deserve an award for their trailers. Few studioes can match their skills at making trailers so epic
Rome didn't defeate Hannibal it was Carthage who defeated him
The Roman general Scipio Africanus destroyed him at the battle of Zama
Tommy Tom
No Hannibal was already destroyed at that time
his morals was so low 16 years sacrifices went for nothing he saw his brother fall his soldiers die he lost his eyes he was so close to achieving his dream and then saw that dream fall to pieces infornt his eyes but still Carthage refused him he was so depressed he commited suicide
Hannibal of Zama isn't the Hannibal of the Italian campaign he was a mere shadow of his former self the body of Hannibal but not the soul of The Great Hannibal Barca
Hannibal didn't commit suicide, and he lost vision in one eye not both.
White Knight Of the Internet yes he did suicide & i know about the one eye
Hiwa Joe He did not kill himself. The way he died is unknown and debated between illness and poison. The most credible statement is he died, because you can't state the way he died since no one knows.
at 2:28 Hannibal with a powerful music , GOOSEBUMPS
True
Dat moment when shit got real.
This video has so much promise. so much potential. I literally had goosebumps when Hannibal appeared. What a waste in the end..
Hannibal knew how to gain a victory, but not how to use it.
He could've if he had support of the carthaginian senate. The senate never supported him but called him to defend carthage like a bitch when scipio attacked. Hannibal was just not the same Hannibal as he lost most of his veterans and even his brothers. To think that a general could achieve so much is just incredible. He remained undefeated for nearly 16 years.
Are u just copying his Calvary captain’s quote tho
@@ikik1648 he isn't copying anyone. He's just bringing up a well known quote.
@@camulodunon Made-up quote. Most of these 'quotes' are made up by Roman historians, how the fck Livy knew what Maharbal said to Hannibal in his tent? 200 years before him??
@@bdleo300 that is just Livy's refection on Hannibal's performance. That he thought of himself, not something that he knows was said to Hannibal in his tent.
"I daresay that would be quite the feat, even for the great Hannibal Barca"
Hannibal: "Hold my beer"
You know what we need, a movie about Hannibal a long one with appropriate casting and it covers the right subjects,let me know what you think
Senator: He's going to Spain!
Senate: No!
Senator: He's making allies with the Greeks!
Senate: No!
Senator: He's going to Sicily!
Senate: No!
Senator: He's going over the Alps!
Senate: No! (laughter)
Me: How about all of the above.
The way they say "Over the Alps?!😂" really puts into perspective how much of a madman Hannibal was
“There’s no way he can beat 80,000 men”
A decade has passed and this trailer remains the greatest piece of cinema Total War has produced, with a nuanced understanding of every aspect of the dream players engage in. The sound design alone is masterful, but when combined with all the details and the sheer kino of history itself, is unsurpassed.
2:26 "Yea, say my name baby, i'm coming for you !"
"It sounded like someone said my name! To Rome to find out who....."
Nico Sepeda "Hmm, i came from the mountains !" :)
Hannibal Barca has earned my respect for matching elephants through the alps during the winter.
That's a legendary move.
i swear to the gods each time i need motivation i watch this
tears fill my eyes each time specially when they say the Great Hannibal Barca
i will either find a way or make one i will cross my own alpes and conquer what's mine
Hope you are doing fine now dude :)

And lose a significant of your troops and elephants in the process only for Rome to counterattack and decisively defeat you. Not a wise strategy.
@@tuele4302 decisive defeat??
@@tuele4302 total nonsense... they defeated him after 15 years... it's like saying German offensive against France in 1940. was a bad strategy because they were defeated 5 years later.
Senate: Fans speculating about Rome 2
Hannibal: Creative assembly letting them all down
Imagine if woolly mammoths were still alive by then and living in that region for Hannibal to command. THAT would've been awesome, seeing them tank the cold weather and live to rampage through Rome. Hannibal probably still would've failed to bring down Rome, but it would've been badass.
Mammoths wouldn't have survived in the Italian climate though. They'd probably only be found in the Siberia at the time
The last of them had died out nearly three millennia before this. Close in the grand scheme of things, but not close enough.
You mean mammoths that survived from what happened 12,000 years ago and adapted to the climate during that time? That would change also the dynamics of warfare. Europeans would have access to 'war mammoths', thereby the Romans would not be surprised if Hannibal brought his war elephants. Hell, even the Romans might have their own war mammoths, so as the Celts.
this trailer still gives me chills. idc what anybody says i enjoyed rome2 and ive played every game since the first rome total war. cant wait for warhammer!!
2:27 when Hannibal look at the mountain in the alps with his eyes full of determination and conviction.....i got goosebump....fucking epic trailer!!!!
#the Carthaginian leader, "Hannibal,"
His famous saying:
- *Either we find a way, or we make a way for us* .
6 years and this still gives me chills. If only the game was as good as the trailer.
Try divide at impera
Christ, It gives me creeps when the camera shows the army of Carthage crossing the Alps. And the senators are just laughing. Just a while more...
Hannibal was one of the smartest tacticians back in the day i'm pretty sure hes better than a lot of generals now does too hes just so smart! He attacks from where you least expect it. Truly one of the best tacticians to walk the earth.
And in the end it is the Carthaginian senators who refused to reinforce him while Rome kept pouring out new legions. Sometimes your closest allies are greatest enemies
This is the best commercial / trailer i have ever seen, I keep coming back to it 10 yrs later
I hope this campaign finally comes as DLC like Caesar In Gaul.
It just went official that there is going to be released an Hannibal campaign
Victor Willners already pre-ordered it :)
And she asks about why i think about Rome....
This gives me goosebumps even after all these years
i watched this years ago and this is by far still my favorite trailer of all time
This was released almost 10 years ago. The memories!
Still playing it. Decent game.
I love this trailer, everytime I see it I get goosebumps. I believe it is one of the best trailers out there. It would have been awesome to see this material in the school when I was an student..
"Sit down you old fool!"
Still the coolest Total war trailer ever in my point of view
One of the best trailer ever IMO
Everytime I see this trailer I get goosebumps, what a powerful moment seeing Hannibal marching with Elephants in the Alps. It is my favorite trailer ever..
"Sit down you old fool"
That is all I came for.
"That is WILD speculation, we cannot afford too.... " my favorite part.
This trailer. There needs to be more like this. I wouldn't mind if they remade a series where they used cinematic's like this and the game to teach about historical battles.
Guy must've really hated the Romans to go that far.
I still come back to this trailer so many years later.
[EDIT] Yep, here again.
6 years later and this is still epic
- Senate: ENOUGH!
- Random Pleb: *Sit down you old fool*
1:50 - 3:06 best part
I am back here because of Oversimplified 😁
Hannibal's hatred for Rome was so hot, not even the Alps could cool him.
Hannibal spent most of his life in Spain, he only spent a few years in Carthage, before they left for Spain his father made him swear to always hate and make war against the Romans, he was raised to destroy them
*Romans laugh* Hannibal: I'm goanna beat the shit out of you.
oversimplified but in 3D 😂
Oversimplified is this in 2d
They laughed at that senator, but I imagine how smugly he entered the senate when news arrived of Hannibal’s crossing

*****, then why did you deleted my reply about the bulldozer killing an innocent peace keeper? It was here before now it's gone, pretty sure only the poster can delete replies. Scared that your Israelite friends would be found out to be nothing but cold blooded killers? Oh, also the fact that you don't know the difference between a Numidia and an Egyptian.
***** What is your IQ then?
French Men Carthage was a Phoenician colony that eventually grew in power far beyond their parentage. They were natural sailors because the phoenicians were a sea faring trade race and Carthage continued this tradition from a tremendously powerful strategic position. Their rivals were the Greeks who they gradually out maneuvered to achieve almost complete dominance, they only lacked Sicily as they already had Sardinia and it was the Romans who betrayed the treaty and supported Sicily in expelling a Carthaginian garrison that started the first punic war. Now the Carthaginians themselves, being of phoenician descent were white but they used mercenaries and subjugated neighbouring tribes as part of their army. This included the black african numidian horseman who were instrumental to a lot of the successes Hannibal had. It also included spanish and celtic troops as well. Later on some Itallian city states or itallian allies as they were called, supported Hannibal.
If he had support from Carthage when he needed it Hannibal would crush Rome almost singlehandedly... unfortunately, that sort of genius creates a lot of jealousy that in the end destroyed Carthage itself.
Also, this video is incorrect in saying that "Illyria will rise up against us" since they were at this time at war with the Greeks... so it's kinda funny.
it's just a senator speculating about what could happen it's not a fact
I'm just saying that it's funny to say that the Greeks will go against Rome when they were already at war with them... at least some of them anyway, Macedonia for example.
Later on Hannibal does make an alliance with Philip V though... not that it made much difference.
Illyria wasn't under the Greeks control when Hannibal crossing the Alps, but rather under the command of a Rome puppet. Also, the concept that Hannibal did not receive any support is nothing but a popularized theory to cast Hannibal in a even greater light. For the first few years of the 2nd Punic Wars, Carthage and Rome were still officially in a truce. Despite Hannibal declaring war on Rome, the Romans maintained their peace with Carthage. It was only later after the truce expired did Romans decided to declare war on Carthage. Before you say anything about that, the peace period actually benefit Carthage as it allowed the city to gather the money to hire mercenaries later in the war. If it had ignored the true, Carthage would not only be at a strategic disadvantage but also diplomatically as no states would trust Carthage to keep its promises.
Furthermore, when in the war, the Carthaginian Senate recruited several mercenary armies to lend support to Hannibal. However, they have to land in Carthage-controlled Spain and Sicily first because they did not want to get risk losing countless men and ships trying to force their way through the Roman Navy. The Roman consuls realized this and deploy armies to Spain and Sicily to held down the Carthaginian reinforcements. The Roman army in Sicily managed to defeat the forces of Carthage and its allies. Although the Roman army in Spain would eventually get eliminate, they achieved their goal of delaying the Carthaginian. Then, as you know, Scipio Africanus came along and proceed to defeat the Carthaginian in Spain and North Africa.
The way Romans speak of Greece is wrong, they were either directly or indirectly at war with Macedon, so acting surprised that common enemies have a sort of an alliance is a bit odd.
Also, Carthage was never truly committed with the war against Rome, same with the First Punic War, because their objective was different than Rome's.
Rome wanted to utterly defeat their opponents and force them to subjugation, Carthage (same with other countries with Greek heritage) never wanted such a decisive result but rather to stop the war at some point and have an advantageous peace treaty.
That of course is significant and indeed means that if it were the other way around, meaning Hannibal was Roman and invading North Africa, he will be supported in any way possible. Victory at any cost, unfortunately that wasn't Carthage's way.
In fact, the slim support he received was not so much from Carthage, but from his own Barcid family.
So yes, you can definitely say that with proper support Hannibal would change the outcome of the second Punic war.

Expect, you ignore how Scipio Africanus himself receive little support from Rome itself and yet achieved much more than Hannibal.
Hannibal had himself to blame as well. While he knew how to win battles, he was terrible when it came to diplomacy and strategies.
Hannibal forced various Iberian and Celtic tribes to join him through military force.
Scipio relied on good-will diplomacy such as releasing the Iberian hostages that Hannibal families forcibly held in New Carthage to win over allies.
In Italy, Hannibal actively encouraged Latins and Greeks to rebel but refused to provide them any support, thus allowing Rome to crush them.
In North Africa, Scipio provided the majority of his forces to help ensure that Masinissa would gained total control of Numidia. In turn for Scipio's support, Masinissa provided Scipio the cavalry he needed to later defeat Hannibal.

what make it crazy that hannibal did it .. its just insane what he did .. insane
A brilliant summary of Hannibal’s style of command. Work out what your enemy does not expect you to do, and do that
I DARESAY THAT WOULD BE QUITE A FEAT
now this is how you make a trailer. Goosebumps!
The thing about Hannibal is that with the exception of Fabius and Scipio he never did what the Romans were expecting. Only those two ever managed to figure out his game.
Well.......at least the cinematic was good.
