      I just wanna add down here that too Rome 2's credit general speeches are technically still in the game, it's just there are only like 2 and your general gives them as a unit bark at the start of combat instead of them receiving a dedicated phase.
      it's there basically as a homage to the classic pre-battle speeches, but it ain't no 4 full hours worth of dynamically strung together voicelines for just the Romans.

    Hot damn! This looks awesome! Brings back memories of one particular playthrough of mine. My version of Julianus Vatinius, you could say.
    Ptolemy Alexander was originally a Commander in the Egyptian army, but joined up (I totally bribed him because of his name) with the Brutii in the aftermath of the Carthaginian Wars. He led the Brutii campaigns against Greece and Macedon, working his way up the ranks of the Senate and eventually served as Pontifex Maximus. He led the Conquest of Egypt, before doubling back and conquering Spain. He finished the Conquest of Gaul before pushing on and took Britannia. Then he became Faction Leader and moved his Capital to Byzantium and warred with the remains of Pontus and the Seleucids.
    He died as Ptolemy Augustus, and his son Nero would conquer Rome and the other families.

    Im only just now realizing it (drunk and a day late lol) but I actually found MATN years ago with the Brutii Campaign, and it was the reason I decided to even buy RTW. RTW was not only one of the FIRST steam games I spent money on (I was just beginning to work and still did not feel comfortable putting it into my crappy pc for games it might not even run) but was also my intro not only to MATN but also TW and but after seeing Jon play it I knew I wouldn’t regret it. From then until now I’ve stuck with the channel, and after watching Jon play a few minutes (I didn’t catch the whole vid at first) I preordered this without a second thought (only the second game I’ve ever preordered in my life). Now, upon finally coming back to finish this video has it hit me how much MATN has been apart of my life. As of typing this Im realizing the many games I would have NEVER bought had it not been for MATN *cough* RTW, MTW, FTL, Stellaris to name a few *cough* Thank you Jon. Thank you

It has boring music, your generals and family members had no traits and didn't feel real, it had this weird province system where the city of Rome gets a huge happiness debuff because you conquered Arretium - as if the Romans were ever angry that Rome conquered an enemy, LOL!

I had to buy the game and play it as John's lessons in classics made the game feel so alive.
