The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough
Oversimplified is like a real Santa Claus. He comes once or twice a year and brings many gifts, and everyone is in peace for a week. Thank you, Oversimplified
@@Arandomperson667 it's honestly both hilarious but sickening that some people are willing to go through extreme lengths/threatened or "curse" people just so they can gain subs
@@michaelplayz4469a team is what this man needs if he’s doing this alone he needs a team he could upload a lot more videos like a few videos or so a month atleast
By the time you had to wait, you can judge just how much time goes into making these videos. The animation, the storytelling, the jokes, the voiceover, the execution. It’s just brilliant!
One of the most fun history channels on UA-cam, no matter how much i've heard about a subject, this channel always makes it feel fresh and entertaining
The self awareness, the writing, the seamless transition between jokes and history. This is top tier. If you’re struggling with posting frequency, consider building a team around you and delegating tasks while you supervise. It’s hard to trust others but when you accomplish good synergy you’re freeing yourself to be more creative elsewhere. Once again, thanks for this awesome content
Awesome, love the Punic Wars. Would love to see you cover the 7 Years War and the 30 Years War. The latter isn't taught well in schools yet is the beginning of separation of church and state.
Oversimplified is probably the only UA-camr who can put out one or two videos a year, yet still have a loving and engaged audience that shows up as soon as an episode is out.
**Michael Reeves** "cough cough" But yeah, only love to oversimplified, he puts so much effort in his videos that we can only be thankful we get them, no matter how much we have to wait
Well I think its stupid that he is taking more time to make the next video than the napoleanic wars HE DOESNT EVEN POST ANYTHING ON THE COMMUNITY TAB ABOUT WHATS THE NEXT VIDEO OR WHEN ITS GONNA BE REALESED
I don't know how, but your timing is always on point for me! When we were learning the Napoleonic wars, 2 days earlier, your video on it came out, when we were learning the 1st punic war, your video came out on THE EXACT DAY we started learning it, and nowz when we are learning the 2nd Punic war, your video comes out 1 day earlier!...are you spying on me because I didn't buy the Bucket plushie?
Concur. The Carthaginian reaction to the corvus (at 20:00) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a history video. And now I'll never forget what a "corvus" is.
@@catherineofaragon3140 this added with the low brow toilet/gross out humour is just making these videos feel so? i don't know forced? like my guy you're funny as it is, you don't need to resort to this kinda nonsense
@@alinsaji3063 And even more. I'm pretty sure the "To be continued" in the end was serious, because not talking about Hannibal Barca when talking about Punic Wars is a crime.
15:22 Having studied the Punic Wars two years ago, there's a fun fact on how the Romans managed to reverse-engineer Carthaginian ships so easily: Carthage's arsenal built ships with standardized detached parts and signs/numbers/letters inscribed on them, much like an Ikea furniture piece (that is the exact analogy my history professor used). Once the Romans figured out the system, they copied it, and managed to mass-produce these ships. Edit: In the interest of intellectual honesty, I couldn't find the source in my notes, so here's one corroborating it: "The Marsala ship [A Carthaginian ship found in 1971 off the coast of Sicily, from the 241 BCE Battle of the Aegates Islands] brings us other discoveries: The painted signs on its hull testify (in addition to the fact that this ship was indeed Punic) of a rationalization for mass production: It is not explained otherwise how fast Romans And Carthaginians could arm so many military ships." (Naval Encyclopedia - Carthaginian Ships; look it up online, I can't post the link here) ReEdit: Regarding the sources, in that class we were taught the three most useful and mutually exhaustive sources were, in order of preference: the "Histories" of Polybus, a 2nd-century BC Greek historian who lived the Third Punic War and was a close friend of Scipio Aemilianus (the Roman general who won that war); the "History of Rome" by Roman historian Livy, who wrote in the 1st centuries BC and AD, with some passages missing; and the "Foreign Wars" of Appian, an Alexandrine Greek writer from the 2nd century CE. All wrote from the Roman side and favored them, though Polybus is critical of the Romans when he felt they went back on their word. Polybus is generally considered the most reliable.
I came here to see the first war again before I watch the second but now I realize why he also put out a recap video for the first war earlier this day that recap, for people like me who dont remember much
I love how this guy ignores the fact that he's been gone for nearly a year then goes right back into the action like nothing happened. Hats off to you Oversimplified. Really well done video too.
Actually, that's just his schedule. He first makes two episodes to a large series, then, after about 3-5 months, it's a short episode. Then so on and so forth.
To be fair, for the animation and the script writing, fact checking (and other things like audio) to be at such a high level, it may be very time consuming for him. Which would make the time away make sense.
@@omarabdelghany7248 although I do like him being a one man team, he should get an editor to put the clips in or somebody to help him with audio and stuff
Me watching the ending: "oh darn, now I'll have to wait another half year to see the end!". And then I see both parts were uploaded simultaneously, beautiful.
Gotta say, im loving how he's putting more emotion into his characters in the more recent videos, the older ones are more like watching a class with a few jokes here and there, but these ones are just as informative while being even funnier
Tbf I don't mind either style, I'm just more interested in the info, it wouldn't matter if he stopped writing jokes for the videos (if it meant that we got the vids faster), I'd still watch them either way
Oversimplified videos are some real gems. I love how he puts in just enough humor to make it entertaining, while still staying informative with the historical storytelling to make the videos and entertaining as possible. Even if they dont come out often, they're definitely worth the wait.
I honestly think his humour lost some of its original quality. The jokes you heard in his first videos were better, more calculated Now they seem to get simpler and simpler... more... silly than before..
Side bar for a minute: the animation, voice acting, writing, and everything has improved drastically. It’s been nice to watch the improvement over time!
I would rather go back to when the videos were still good but the production level was low enough where they didn't take nine months to come out with another video
I'm gonna be real. In the last few videos he spends too much time on childish and boring "jokes" rather than explaining what's going on. It almost feels like he's talking down to the audience sometimes
@@therublixcube3052 I agree about the humor. Its really too simple and he wastes a lot of time on it. Its bad when I dont even chuckle at a single joke.
The animation and drawings have improved SO much and it all looks so much more polished compared to before! I love seeing the progress from the old videos up until now, it's very fun.
Yeah right? I mean the originals had solid quality but the animations themselves increased vastly. Also I'm glad Hannibal gets some love, he knew how to win battles but not how to capitalize on victories, and his own people totally boned him Now we just need Peloponnesian war
Not only the animation but his narration has improved. The Napoleonic Wars video was proof but this growth. I am at peace for the next 6 months till the next upload
I swear this NordVPN guy is a time traveller. They manage to appear in almost every historically important situation across 59 servers all over the world!
Is it just me or does the gap between videos just make them better? I get so hyped every time, its like the best present. Thanks for making my day better. Love the videos!
Watching the Romans solve the complexities of naval warfare by forgoing the ships entirely and instead making a bridge to cross over and beat the crap out of the other army has got to be one of the most unga bunga moments in human history.
The distance on the map may look small, but it's still around 5 km they would have to cross. That's huge for ancient times especially if Carthage could interfere with the building
I have an old friend group that was built around these videos, and every time you release a new video our chat comes alive once again. Thank you for keeping us connected through the years!
I’m so happy you're back ! Honestly ever since I discovered your channel, I’ve seen your videos so many times !! You make learning about history so fun, I love it !
Honestly, this brings back memories of Extra History and their takes on the Second Punic War. Glad to see the first getting some love, from Oversimplified no less. They mostly skimmed over the first, so glad to know the actual happenings there barring the brief summary EH gave.
Lets just take a moment to realize that all of this was done by one man. Most channels that do this regularity would have many people working on it, but Oversimplified is just one guy really passionate about history and animating.
This guy is a legend. Instead of creating one part and leaving us in a great cliff hanger he leaves us to wait which we do life. And when it comes its absolutely the best. I like how every video now he is getting better
My favorite part of the first Punic War was when a Roman general went to lay a naval siege to a city on the coast in 249 BCE. When deciding when to attack, he fed the sacred chickens, as was customary, to see if the gods favored Rome that day. When sacred chickens did not eat, signaling a bad omen, the general threw them overboard. He said "If they are not hungry, maybe they are thirsty." The Roman invasion force was soundly defeated and the general's name was shamed. Lesson is: never ignore the sacred chickens.
@@alistairvan4059 Children of the past got to see horrible things done in the name of war Now we wait till a time of peace, and decide witch social issues we are gonna start. So the kids can grow up with our politics on their mind
I love the part where Marcus Atilius Regulus said, "It's a war, a Punic war." Also we've only found a single instance of the Corvus being used and was reported as dicking up the ships balance too much. The Romans just used the smash maneuver for the most part, they just really upped their production and hired a shit ton of nautical mercenaries to compensate for their lack of experience.
It’s now officially been one year since Oversimplified posted a video…I don’t think we’ve ever gone so long without him. Must be a MASSIVE undertaking that it’s been so long…
one thing you missed is that one of the reasons the romans were able to copy the carthaginian ships is because each lock in the frame was numbered to it's matching lock.
look at the amount of detail in the background in the first scene. oversimplified probably knew that barley anyone would look at it and he new he would never be able to reuse it but he still put so much effort into it and that’s why he is so awesome. I mean seriously he added reflections on the floor
Sure but you also realize that if he didnt have them like that then we’d get the videos much sooner but in groups of one so it’s kinda a lick your poison kinda moment
@@goreoproductions6955 meaning it would get more views, and i'll gladly take a minor inconvenience if this man gets his well-deserved money for his videos
As a History teacher, you don’t understand how amazing your videos are in my classrooms for my students. Although funny, it does give a broad sense of educational purpose and ideas to them. A perfect mix. Thank you truly Oversimplified.
I love seeing how over the years Oversimplified now talks more excitedly and openly! You can tell he’s having fun and doing funnier voices and I just love this for him
The sudden rush of emotions I get when I open this app to see an Oversimplified video cannot be matched. The best one or two days of the year by far, thank you sir
Such a fun and informative way to explain one of history's most important wars! The blend of humor and facts keeps it engaging while learning about the First Punic War
PLEASE do one about Vietnam. It’s one I feel like I personally, and a lot of other people have not really grasped, or gotten a good understanding of. With so many veterans from that war still alive today it would really mean a lot to understand more about their story! Thank you!
I, like many, had a hard time understanding Vietnam. But then I watched Ken Burns's documentary on the Vietnam War. I'd strongly recommend it. It's powerful and really helps to explain the conflict. It's really long, and extraordinarily graphic and highly disturbing... but it's worth watching. I'd recommend hunting it down.
I really hope that if he does to one, that he makes it apparent that the U.S and Vietnam signed a treaty, officially ending the war with the north and south, but that the north betrayed the treaty, and invaded a few months after the U.S left.
Then, why don't you TALK to veterans. You don't need the civilian ARROGANCE that perpetuated/enabled Vietnam to talk to us about "our stories." You intellectual virtue signaling about Vietnam, or about "getting to better understand and appreciate veterans? You do know there are veteran from wars OTHER than Vietnam? You do realize there are other wars that were just as ignorant and incompetent (like THE ILLEGAL INVASION/OCCUPATION of Iraq after 9/11 and the subsequent TWENTY PLUS YEARS of POORLY EXECUTED "war on terror" nonsense that allowed HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in misappropriated funds SQUANDERED on "bridge to nowhere" so-called "reestablishing, reinforcing, and rebuilding" half-assery? You REALLY wanna understand the military (Active, Vet, PoW, and deceased), TRY TALKING DIRECTLY TO US instead of asking an ENTERTAINMENT SOURCE to give you military history lessons in an UNACCREDITED, non-academic format. Also, you could..... STEP UP AND SERVE?? Sit down and quit pretending to flex yourself as an intellectual and emotional societal sponge of human greatness with your lowkey soapboxing diatribe - ESPECIALLY if you are going to have the AUDACITY to evoke those that SERVE(D) like MYSELF as PROPS for your little social wokeness ACT.
War is exactly like I got bullied in middle school for not wearing name brand shoes. The nobles got the peasants fighting each other for their narcissism veblen goods/griffin goods. The guy in the private resort got them to storm the capital on 1/6 with his name on their shoes. This is why no one earns a billion dollars. AKA trickle-down economics. Worshipping nobles is the stupidest thing. The idea to build them a 5 star resort in the name of job creation is ignorance of math.
Man I love this guy, been following him since day one. I'm originally Lebanese and Phoenicia is our heritage, so thank you for covering this under-rated part of history! Absolutely loving it mate
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
Another side effect from the system of having yearly consuls, one that is still with us today, is that our year starts in January instead of March. This is from a bit later in Roman history, when they have expanded into Hispania (Spain and Portugal). Since Hispania was a proper overseas colony, it usually took the newly appointed consuls several months to organize an army in Italy, gather enough funds to pay for their transport to Hispania, bribe/threaten/convince enough local allies to join you etc. So it wasn't uncommon for the consuls to find that by the time they could start campaigning properly, the campaigning season was more than half over and their local allies would soon start leaving for the harvest, and they would have to start thinking about how to get back to Italy again. So the Romans, ever pragmatic, solved this by simply starting the year two months earlier to give new consuls two extra months to get organized. This way they could usually set sail as soon as they were sure that winter was truly over, with plenty of time to find glory and plunder for the consuls.
I’m honestly so happy that we’re getting a video basically just on Hannibal. I was worried that he was somehow gonna get squeezed into this one, so I was ridiculously hyped to see it end on a cliffhanger for him. The things he was able to accomplish were truly legendary, and I’m so glad that you’re gonna give this literal legend the respect he deserves!!!
What did Hannibal accomplish, though? He dicked around Italy for years without ever getting close to final victory. He was a gifted tactician, but his strategy was vague and ineffective, he didn't actually know what he was doing. His overconfidence and tunnel vision cost Carthage the entire war. Also, that was the second Punic war, so in part 2 we'll likely only see him as a child next to his father, Hamilcar.
This is genuinely engaging and interesting, they should show these in history classes at school even just for a bit of fun to get kids excited about learning.
Hard agree. I'm studying to be a language teacher, not a history teacher but I swear I'll show my students oversimplified's videos everytime I can even slightly justify it.
Venetians later mastered this art in such a bastard way They recluted broke ass "free" men citizens to row, but they had to pay mostly everything, food equiments vests exct, but recluters Just didnt mention it, and the yearly payment in the end was kinda the exact same as the yearly expenses, so those rowmen progressively became slaves
I remember checking his channel literally just yesterday for any new videos. Was super disappointed when I didn’t find any. Happy to see OverSimplified read my mind and used his omnipotent power levels to form an entirely new video out of nothingness.
Calls us idiots, tells us to shut up, hasn't made a video in over 10 months and yet here we are waiting for more. This is the most unhealthy relationship I've ever been in.
I love the part with the Carthaginian Captain losing his mind over the Roman boarding device. I love it when he raises his voice to have fun like that.

The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more.
The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage.
When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building.
Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa.
They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower.
The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push.
A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted
A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower.
This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower.
The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it.
A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower.
Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.
A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough

@Silaen Nase 5 seconds ago yooo
@@chrissmith5961 my comment was 47 minutes ago tho lol
and the knowledge?
15:22 Having studied the Punic Wars two years ago, there's a fun fact on how the Romans managed to reverse-engineer Carthaginian ships so easily: Carthage's arsenal built ships with standardized detached parts and signs/numbers/letters inscribed on them, much like an Ikea furniture piece (that is the exact analogy my history professor used). Once the Romans figured out the system, they copied it, and managed to mass-produce these ships.
Edit: In the interest of intellectual honesty, I couldn't find the source in my notes, so here's one corroborating it:
"The Marsala ship [A Carthaginian ship found in 1971 off the coast of Sicily, from the 241 BCE Battle of the Aegates Islands] brings us other discoveries: The painted signs on its hull testify (in addition to the fact that this ship was indeed Punic) of a rationalization for mass production: It is not explained otherwise how fast Romans And Carthaginians could arm so many military ships."
(Naval Encyclopedia - Carthaginian Ships; look it up online, I can't post the link here)
ReEdit: Regarding the sources, in that class we were taught the three most useful and mutually exhaustive sources were, in order of preference: the "Histories" of Polybus, a 2nd-century BC Greek historian who lived the Third Punic War and was a close friend of Scipio Aemilianus (the Roman general who won that war); the "History of Rome" by Roman historian Livy, who wrote in the 1st centuries BC and AD, with some passages missing; and the "Foreign Wars" of Appian, an Alexandrine Greek writer from the 2nd century CE.
All wrote from the Roman side and favored them, though Polybus is critical of the Romans when he felt they went back on their word. Polybus is generally considered the most reliable.

My favorite part of the first Punic War was when a Roman general went to lay a naval siege to a city on the coast in 249 BCE. When deciding when to attack, he fed the sacred chickens, as was customary, to see if the gods favored Rome that day. When sacred chickens did not eat, signaling a bad omen, the general threw them overboard. He said "If they are not hungry, maybe they are thirsty." The Roman invasion force was soundly defeated and the general's name was shamed. Lesson is: never ignore the sacred chickens.

I love the part where Marcus Atilius Regulus said, "It's a war, a Punic war." Also we've only found a single instance of the Corvus being used and was reported as dicking up the ships balance too much. The Romans just used the smash maneuver for the most part, they just really upped their production and hired a shit ton of nautical mercenaries to compensate for their lack of experience.
It’s now officially been one year since Oversimplified posted a video…I don’t think we’ve ever gone so long without him. Must be a MASSIVE undertaking that it’s been so long…
agree
Maybe we are finally getting the long promised Vietnam war video, including the game of "Spot the Viet-cong soldier."
or both the 2nd and the 3rd punic wars@@jakukuja7736
@@jakukuja7736Hahaha
tbh he might be making 2 videos
one thing you missed is that one of the reasons the romans were able to copy the carthaginian ships is because each lock in the frame was numbered to it's matching lock.
What?
@@Douglas_413 In other words the Carthaginians unknowingly provided an instruction manual for the Romans on how to copy/build their ships.
The guy that was supposed to rub them markings off was on vacation, at the worst possible time!!!!
What part of oversimplified do you not understand?
@@samuelG009 yes but this is a missed opportunity to be funny which I cannot abide
Part of being an oversimplified fan:
Getting hyped when he uploads then forgetting he exists for a while
So trueeeee
frrrr
I rewatch way to much to forget this great man
He just forgot his password.
It’s worth it
look at the amount of detail in the background in the first scene. oversimplified probably knew that barley anyone would look at it and he new he would never be able to reuse it but he still put so much effort into it and that’s why he is so awesome. I mean seriously he added reflections on the floor
can we appreciate that we dont have to wait for part 2, and that Oversimplified just uploads them at the same time
Sure but you also realize that if he didnt have them like that then we’d get the videos much sooner but in groups of one so it’s kinda a lick your poison kinda moment
@@chainsawboy2388 ratio
@@chainsawboy2388 I’m not sure, I think he probably makes the videos as one and splits them up into 2 to please the algorithm

As a History teacher, you don’t understand how amazing your videos are in my classrooms for my students. Although funny, it does give a broad sense of educational purpose and ideas to them. A perfect mix. Thank you truly Oversimplified.

I love seeing how over the years Oversimplified now talks more excitedly and openly! You can tell he’s having fun and doing funnier voices and I just love this for him
I love how their father & son bond relationship :)
The sudden rush of emotions I get when I open this app to see an Oversimplified video cannot be matched. The best one or two days of the year by far, thank you sir

No, most entertaining person to teach history, they are documentaries and videos that go very deeper than what oversimplified teaches

Entertainment wise, and it explains really well too
I love how oversimplified sounds so enthusiastic in the Punic war episodes, it’s beautiful.Oversimplified is like a real Santa Claus
Such a fun and informative way to explain one of history's most important wars! The blend of humor and facts keeps it engaging while learning about the First Punic War

PLEASE do one about Vietnam. It’s one I feel like I personally, and a lot of other people have not really grasped, or gotten a good understanding of. With so many veterans from that war still alive today it would really mean a lot to understand more about their story! Thank you!
The story of the country's history would be more interesting.
@@jffry890 well oversimplified did promise he would do a video of the Vietnam war
I, like many, had a hard time understanding Vietnam. But then I watched Ken Burns's documentary on the Vietnam War. I'd strongly recommend it. It's powerful and really helps to explain the conflict. It's really long, and extraordinarily graphic and highly disturbing... but it's worth watching. I'd recommend hunting it down.
I really hope that if he does to one, that he makes it apparent that the U.S and Vietnam signed a treaty, officially ending the war with the north and south, but that the north betrayed the treaty, and invaded a few months after the U.S left.
Then, why don't you TALK to veterans. You don't need the civilian ARROGANCE that perpetuated/enabled Vietnam to talk to us about "our stories." You intellectual virtue signaling about Vietnam, or about "getting to better understand and appreciate veterans?
You do know there are veteran from wars OTHER than Vietnam?
You do realize there are other wars that were just as ignorant and incompetent (like THE ILLEGAL INVASION/OCCUPATION of Iraq after 9/11 and the subsequent TWENTY PLUS YEARS of POORLY EXECUTED "war on terror" nonsense that allowed HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in misappropriated funds SQUANDERED on "bridge to nowhere" so-called "reestablishing, reinforcing, and rebuilding" half-assery?
You REALLY wanna understand the military (Active, Vet, PoW, and deceased), TRY TALKING DIRECTLY TO US instead of asking an ENTERTAINMENT SOURCE to give you military history lessons in an UNACCREDITED, non-academic format.
Also, you could..... STEP UP AND SERVE??
Sit down and quit pretending to flex yourself as an intellectual and emotional societal sponge of human greatness with your lowkey soapboxing diatribe - ESPECIALLY if you are going to have the AUDACITY to evoke those that SERVE(D) like MYSELF as PROPS for your little social wokeness ACT.
Every single video created by oversimplified is a gem because they only comes once or twice a year and each one is a masterpeace
The definition of quality over quantity.
Yeah but next video when
@@jonathanturner9618 Im waiting also :D
War is exactly like I got bullied in middle school for not wearing name brand shoes. The nobles got the peasants fighting each other for their narcissism veblen goods/griffin goods.
The guy in the private resort got them to storm the capital on 1/6 with his name on their shoes.
This is why no one earns a billion dollars. AKA trickle-down economics.
Worshipping nobles is the stupidest thing.
The idea to build them a 5 star resort in the name of job creation is ignorance of math.
when is the next video.. I can't wait anymore
17:32 I love the subtle details like how in the previous scene the bird got ran over and now some of the soldiers are wearing it's feathers

Wonderful quick history, with humour and lots of fascinating information.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
Another side effect from the system of having yearly consuls, one that is still with us today, is that our year starts in January instead of March. This is from a bit later in Roman history, when they have expanded into Hispania (Spain and Portugal). Since Hispania was a proper overseas colony, it usually took the newly appointed consuls several months to organize an army in Italy, gather enough funds to pay for their transport to Hispania, bribe/threaten/convince enough local allies to join you etc. So it wasn't uncommon for the consuls to find that by the time they could start campaigning properly, the campaigning season was more than half over and their local allies would soon start leaving for the harvest, and they would have to start thinking about how to get back to Italy again.
So the Romans, ever pragmatic, solved this by simply starting the year two months earlier to give new consuls two extra months to get organized. This way they could usually set sail as soon as they were sure that winter was truly over, with plenty of time to find glory and plunder for the consuls.
I’m honestly so happy that we’re getting a video basically just on Hannibal. I was worried that he was somehow gonna get squeezed into this one, so I was ridiculously hyped to see it end on a cliffhanger for him. The things he was able to accomplish were truly legendary, and I’m so glad that you’re gonna give this literal legend the respect he deserves!!!
What did Hannibal accomplish, though? He dicked around Italy for years without ever getting close to final victory. He was a gifted tactician, but his strategy was vague and ineffective, he didn't actually know what he was doing. His overconfidence and tunnel vision cost Carthage the entire war. Also, that was the second Punic war, so in part 2 we'll likely only see him as a child next to his father, Hamilcar.

Fun fact: The Romans never used slaves on their warships, it was a very prestigious role to be a professional rowers
never would i think i would read such a sentence as “it was a very prestigious role to be a professional rowers” but i’m glad i got to today
@@Chemical_moth Listen, neither did I but apparently the Greeks and Romans had this idea
Never is a big word, but certainly they preferred Free men, to such a degree that they would free slaves, so they could man the galleys.
Venetians later mastered this art in such a bastard way
They recluted broke ass "free" men citizens to row, but they had to pay mostly everything, food equiments vests exct, but recluters Just didnt mention it, and the yearly payment in the end was kinda the exact same as the yearly expenses, so those rowmen progressively became slaves

Rewatching Oversimplified when I should be working is where its at.

Calls us idiots, tells us to shut up, hasn't made a video in over 10 months and yet here we are waiting for more. This is the most unhealthy relationship I've ever been in.
He told us to shut up is because he needs alot of time to make videos
He said sorry tho…
