![The Surrender of Carthage - ROME 2 Total War ~ Let's Play ROMA [Divide Et Impera] #7](/img/tr.png)
Theres actually a very insightful documentary about why hannibal didnt attack rome, historians have two conclusions one is that yes it might be correct that he doesnt have the "manpower" during the time but rome wasnt a giant city during the 2nd punic wars, a siege is plausible and could lead to his victory. 2nd is that hannibal is a big fan of epirus and just like epirus believed that you can force the enemy to surrender battle after battle. But alas we will never know why he didnt do the thing he did or what couldve happened etc...
Interesting thank you for that info. ❤
I think he expected Rome to offer terms, but Rome does not surrender, they'll fight till either they or the enemy are destroyed
Such a great series, thank you for your commitment! Can’t wait see what’s next
More is yet to come my friend! Stay tuned!
The Roman general's name was Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus aka Fabius the Cunctator (the Delayer). Two other Carthagenian generals that were defeated in Italy were: Hasdrubal (Metaurus, 207 BC) and Mago (Insubria, 203 BC). Great vid btw, cheers :)
Thank you for the information much appreciated.
Another great video, I'm really liking the intros. The hannibal battle was awesome
Love the videos and the extra effort you put into them. Just found your channel, and I've been binge-watching this campaign.
Amazing man. Please keep it up❤️ your channel will blow up
Clicked on this not really expecting too much but to pass time…aaaand saw you posted your mod list AND order…instant sub my guy thank you this was great lol I’m invested now ☝️
Thank you bruh
Great episode, so thankful that this campaign was saved
Thank you bruh
It's good to see that you managed to save the campaign. Also, this is my most favorite series so far.
Glad you like it bruh.
Bruh@@TWSummary
this intro is really good, man. I love it.
Thank you.
I liked that you showed us your tactics before the battle. Not dwell on it for long time. Just half a minute to let us know
Thank you.
Great video. Hannibal was not the smartest of generals. (In game i mean).
Great story telling bro.
Keep it up 💪💪
Thank you.
bro, you scared the shit out of me, i though the campaign ended, then i remember you dont post on weekends lol
Lol I had made announcements on the community of a delay due to a bug.
Some minor things to bolster your short historical summary. The march over the alps and all that campaigning in Italia might sound like a crazy plan and it definitely was, but you also have to keep in mind, that Carthage wasn't the predominant naval power in the western mediterranean anymore after the first punic war concluded. Carthage in its own wasn't a faction solely united under Hannibal or the Barkas family. To use Hispania as a base of operation has a lot to do with how the Barkas became as rich as they were that could even afford to raise massive private mercenary armies and even attempt to bring the war to the Romans in Italia. Not everyone in Carthage was inclined to help Hannibal after the naval defeats around Sicily in the last war which crippled the former Hegemone of the sea. Carthage was a commerce oriented society and another open war with Rome might not have been seen as worth the costs especially considering possible risks in a defeat. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't cross the mediterranean to support Hannibal in the second punic war. They were only able and willing to send ships to transport Hannibal and his battered army back to north Africa to fight Scipio Africanus where he eventually lost at the battle of Zama
Interesting thanks for the info.
Ave Romani ✋
I always looked for a Roma campaign like that, faithfully historical, not a blitz that in the first episodes whip out Qart-Hadasht from the map. I hope this campaign takes many episodes, and that the next ones are as good as this one with Roma is being!
Thank you for the kind words. You binged the series I see.
Impressive micro against Hannibal. That battle almost went as perfect as possible. Could have relived the poor Hastati a bit earlier so they don't suffer such heavy casualties but since retaining that population class isn't a priority for you, you could argue that keeping the reserves longer can fill up possible gaps or support the flanks and thus are better kept as reserves
This as all other DEI campaigns/videos are very cool, nice job! I wish you can do some DEI h2h campaign with someone and make videos of it. That would be so cool to watch, with battles, listen to strategy and tactics..
Maybe one day, when real life demands lax!
@@TWSummary Oh, I hope that day will never comes for you my friend, that you have to mount yourself on horse and shoot bow arrows around :D
Just catching up on these. The only thing Im usually sad about in most special scenarios fights ( Carthage/Sparta/Egypt/Athens) in total war is that fights like these are normally one sided. Ambush/extra armies/etc. just wish that Hannibal could have actually proved a challenge but I’m a Hannibal fanboy :) great vids and amazing intro. Great series! Great content.
Yea AI seems a little brain dead especially for 41 unit stacks. By reacting off human player the ai doesn't have predetermined functions, but even in medieval 1 the ai responded really well to troop movement and you never got easy flanks
Doesn’t help that he has a garrison helping too though…like every battle has been one sided this entire campaign…I basically skip right through the battles cause of how boring they are. Also 41 units are not fun to watch in a campaign…it’s just to much for the AI to handle and makes the entire campaign one side and almost a waste of time
Hannibal got his ass kicked. 🔥
1:04:11 It was the elected dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, who denied Hannibal a pitched battle after the devastating defeats at the river Trebia and lake Trasimene. This strategy - frowned upon by many Romans - was called after him 'the Fabian strategy'
Bit late to thank you for this.
Great video! I wish you would use the Rome 1 music mod. Rome 2 music is good but it's just not on the same level as Rome 1.
Just subscribed! Love the videos, and the intros are almost like shortened versions of kings and generals. I know you mentioned about how to get 41 stacks, but cant seem to find it, can you link in the video description? Thanks and keep it up! I thought i was good at battles, but your situational awareness is better than i thought possible...
Thank you for the kind words Bruh. I will share the link here for you later in the day when I'm done with work, etc.
ua-cam.com/video/F0H1GREEMQs/v-deo.html
I did not forget you bruh!
I'm just happy you responded. Never really modded the game before your videos except colossal unit mod, and damn I suck on the campaign side of things, still solid on battles though, thanks to your guide on units. Keep pumping out videos brother, people like you keep great games relevant!
@@TWSummary is there a way to edit names? i got the save parser (Thanks!) and when i try to change the name it (double click the name) it doesnt change it. Is there a work around for that?
I'm really loving the series so far. Never thought a Rome playthrough could get this interesting, but sometimes I struggle understanding how you get some things.
I have two main questions:
- it seems the key is a super powerful home province, economically wise, thanks mainly to the tax bonus, which I understand is done purely by the general governors (and a dignitary). So, how do you get that high armies cap? I get much less for the same levels of imperium, and have to use all of them in the field armies. Did you mod it?
- what is the point of leveling up all the women characters of your family? So far you've only used them for an assassination.
Thanks so much for taking the time.
- Yes, the army cap limit is due to a mod
- Female characters can be used to a whole bunch like embezzle funds assassinate entice etc.
@@TWSummary Thanks mate, but still I wonder if they play a role in the tax bonus (and public order etc etc).
Scipio 🗿
1:01:08 I thought these numbers mean how many soldiers survived the battle just as they do for your own army. The loading screen after the battles shows the amount of kills for both armies
The mouse over tool tip is what I am talking about.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who misreads liCtoris every time
Btw the general was Quinto Fabio Massimo
Thank you.
Seems like the Punicos don't have much of a chance to defeat Roma now.
I agree with some of the comments that say that is getting predictable the outcome of the battles due to the AI been not to good at battle.
I think you should start having more Auxilia in your armys,like 1/3 should be native auxilia,Roma citizen units are just too good.
btw in 1:01:10 thats the number of units left,not of how many they kill. just in 1:01:15 you can see that the Arjos Epones kill a total of 41 with just that unit.
Any way,good video,still love that intro
Hmm, you're correct on the casualty bit.
Also as u put Scipio and Hannibal in the campagin, is there a chance to see maybe Caesar or Octavian later on?
Haha you are very smart Marius!
Will be crazy if he succeed to get Marius and Sulla on the campaign to provoke a Civil War in between they.
@@lucasl3m0s would be, dunno if is possible tho, maybe spawn Sulla as a political party and having him rebel with a legion or two outside Rome, or maybe just spawn him like he did to Hannibal while he plays as Marius or something similar.
@@mariuss1590 I have the same pespective, the campaign is marching for the over of the Second Punic War, the next episodes we will see the conquest of Greacea, Illyria and Galia Cisalpina, after this: *Delenda Est Cartago* and the conquest of Asia Menor, soon we aproach the time of the First Civil War.
@@lucasl3m0s one thing i am not sure is the end goal of the campaign, i mean historical borders but that would end like the time of Augustus which will be like in idk 10 or 15 episodes lets say, so maybe in the end after Ceasar, and his war, have Augustus and ending the series when he dies of old age
What submod is it when you Can see what party rules which province etc ?
It's not a submod it is the option in the tactical map. The first option
Hi ik im late to this series but i have a question. How did you manage to transfer the campaign to the Hannibal At The Gates dlc, I mean the armies and everything was like in the grand campaign. Im new to total war, hope i can do it too bc its very interesting
I modded it in by editing the save files. This series was heavily modded.
@@TWSummary oh, thanks. Still love the campaign. And your mods :)
Dude, i know it is kind of out of context but did you managed to make re-rigging tool in asset editor work for rome 2?
I don't use the re-rigging tool. In asset editor. I actually use the pin tool.
@@TWSummary Your pin tool works? mine always show error when i click it. Superb channel btw. Your latest sparta guide really help my current sparta campaign. Keep it up, dude.
Are you modding the names as you go like personally? Cause I don't see any mods that do this lol
Like how did you get Scipio africanus from ancient empires into here lmao
And the city names individually lol
@@albertoramos424 Yes I am modding them as I go. Every time I conquer a settlement, I step out of the game, rename it and hop back in.
I got Scipio into the game via modding also, using the Save Parser App.
Glad you're back with a new episode.
Super cool that you conjured Hannibal into the campaign,
but to be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the battle itself.
Maybe you should have played it against a real person as a custom battle, and shown the battle as a replay, then you could also have shown some closeups etc. I thought you exploited the AI and that the battle was never really exciting or close.
Sorry for the criticism, but it is meant to be constructive.
But I love your work and I'm really looking forward to the next episode.
I'm afraid you are right. The AI was retarded. I would hardly say I exploited it though. Considering my present circumstances, I can't really spare time to coordinate a MP battle, sadly.
@@TWSummary Thanks for your reply mate.
That you exploited the Ai was perhaps also a bit harsh. But it just seemed that Hannibal didn't get his due in the campaign, and the work you put into it didn't quite show.
But I love your intros and your attempt to create an authentic Roman campaign.
So as I wrote, looking forward to seeing more
All in all, loving your work
Yes sadly I wish Hannibal could achieve a lot more than he did, but the problem with that is I had two choices, just abandon Cisalpina and allow Hannibal to outright conquer it and then engage him, or fight a battle with him, which quite frankly, I didn't expect I would do so well considering he had an army filled with elites and I am purposely putting myself at a handicap with inferior Hastati (instead of Principes) and inferior Socii troops (instead of stronger Latin equivalents), purely for the sake of historicity.
9:39 Why don't you use the group attack? You will have the same result but its way easier and faster. Just put your ships into a locked group and give the attack order in the middle of the enemy formation. Same goes for flanking maneuvers with cavalry or infantry that should attack different units in a blob
Because I like the level of control and precision I can achieve with micromanagement. Group control gives the AI the reins and Rome2 AI is well ... 🤣
How do I turn off the trees so that I can properly see the troops in the forest?
Control + F
@@TWSummary Thanks man. Thats very useful in forest battles.
I wish there was a way to turn off fog though. I always get so annoyed when I am forced to play with it because it was the last option or the AI choses it in a multiplayer campaign battle. It hinders micromanagement in huge battles so much
@Manuel check out my latest nervii livestream, a battle in the fog outnumbered big time with a worn-out army. Fight for survival. I go ape shit. Around the 2 hour mark.
Fun fact. Armies rarely fought in the forest counter to Hollywood. Cavalry was useless in forests, and moreover, the cohesion would be a nightmare. Armies would typically try to find a terrain that was as open as possible. Of course, it wasn't a flat open plain as well.
@@TWSummary Exactly. Tight formations of troops as well as cavalry would have great difficulty operating in deep forests and broader maneuvers would probably seize to exist in such terrain. Just for the purpose of battle oversight, fairly flat terrain is what most commanders would prefer as far as that was even possible in ancient battles. This was already a nightmare on flat terrain. Even from an elevated position behind the battlefield, they could never tell what was really going on on the battlefield. Messages to the commander would arrive with time delays and reacting to certain maneuvers would not only take a long time but the troops might not even be able to pull that specific command or attack off. This is why most battle plans were kept as simple as possible and more complicated tactics could almost never be implemented into an actual battle. Form up as good as possible in a neat line and move forward to engage the enemy with reserves that could relive tired troops. Just like what the Romans tried at Cannae. Such great tactical feats by Hannibal were a rarity and only worked because everything fell into place. Brilliant anticipation and timing by Hannibal and his troops, that could hold the line long enough for the Numidians to flank and encircle the Romans.
For the individual soldiers at the front line, battle oversight must have been even worse. The battle noise - shouts, screams and the blows of weapons - as well as the dust and the inability to look over the soldier right next to you. Infantry could never tell how the whole army was doing so if some units got the feeling they were loosing, they could cause a chain route of the entire army just because they felt unsafe and fled. That's why the Roman army was such a good fighting force with centurions commanding their units from the frontline while being able to make maneuvers themselves how they saw fit. The equipment, formations such as the shield wall and drills so reserves could relive tired troops made the roman military a force to be reckoned with.
Wich mod have the event of anibal or scipion??
It's not a mod. It's modding the save game to insert those characters in.
@@TWSummary And how is that done?
@@EduardoReinhold using save game parser for rome 2.
If I ever got the chance to go back in time, Annibal and Jean of Arc would be definetly the ones I would love to meet
how your armys have 41 units?
Save parser app to edit the save games.
I like the mods the intros etc but i am sorry the difficulty is easy hannibal barca the one that terrorised rome for some 18 years got defeated the moment he arrived this is ridiculous and frankly boring you need better ai or someting cause at this point it s easy to predict you ll destroy every army in front of you and then a cw will erupt give you some problemes but you ll overcame it with relative ease , where is the excitment where is the dramas etc it s too predictable
Yea, I agree with you. The difficulty is hard for campaign and normal for battles. Hannibal did have a massively better army. Beyond that, there's nothing I can do to further buff him. For the most part, I see myself as more of a tactical and informative guide for players to the game, and less of the entertainment factor, like creators like Toxborg who lose quite a bit to keep things interesting. I created the intros to add some value to the channel.
But I really thank you for your feedback, it is much valued and under consideration.
Regardless I created a poll to get some more feedback. Yes, I want to make the series entertaining, but the AI is only so good in R2TW that in order for them to win, I have to lose intentionally.
With the army Hannibal had, I would have wiped the floor with the Romans. Unfortunately, the AI is going to be the AI.
@@TWSummary i just dicovered your channe and frankly the work that you do is extremly good you deserve way more sub
Ps : i just voted on your poll for you to not lose on purpose and i will be sharing your content with some friend hope that help you grow and good luck with your familly as well 😉😉😉
That battle with Hannibal had some silly AI. A bit anticlimactic, lol.
It kinda was but that's CA AI
True Bronze Alpha? I can't tell if this is working with DEI.
It does work with most assets. Some assets aren't included in this mod but most get better bronze textures.
@@TWSummary I added it, been trying some of the mods you have on your list. Taking a break from modding Bannerlord. :)
