Your mouth is bigger than your Brain

I'm about to watch it shortly, but I thought you got rid of the Julii in the last episode

You can navigate the family tree by pressing the mouse wheel to move around.

From 16:20 or so, why don't you recruit/queue the merchant in Alesia; and, for that matter, in other cities?

12:30 Hardhome RTW edition XD

For those who end up reading this, if a foreign agent is found and killed, the announcement will say "detected". It only says "found" if they escape.

Greetings from Greece!! In the next episode pls show us the family tree .If you do, change your faction leader with a Brutii xD ..Also i love your videos<3

You may be good saving money but your Military attack on walled cities is Shit. Why not send your Axe Men completely around the walls first. Then you actually increase your Defense fire power approximately 50%. Glad you never severd in the British Army

Honestly, I feel bad for the Julii this time around. They didn’t get a chance to expand. Are you planning on doing a Scipii campaign? If you do, let the other Roman factions build up, let’s have a REAL civil war.

Did they add to the cutscenes? I don't remember them being this cool in the original release.

I just got attacked by a goth horde and got totally hammered. I have no idea how people get such big armies i tried getting a big army going but the upkeep was insane. Campaigns in this are a bitch man.

I have never seen units jump off the wall before. That was insane.

First Cohorts of a legion historically consisted of century's that were double the size of a normal century in other cohorts. For RTW, they aren't quite double the size of the regular versions but roughly 1.5 times the size, more troops in a unit basically 👍🏼

The Britannic problem is tough but nice job securing Italy and Rome! I would try to save that army in the settlement if you can or you can use them to dwindle the numbers of the enemy and have the second wave finish them off. You are emperor, you must decide what is best for your Empire of Rome!

thrones of Britannia would be amazing to see! its my 2nd favorite behind attila tbh! Also the Roman rebellion was wild af in rome

Love this

I had played this game a lot Brutii was a very hard campaign but fun once you won it

If you have enough archers you can rip some of those beseiging armies apart from the walls before they attack!

The best strategy with Brutii is to attack the highest valued players close to you first. So Macedon and Greece and Pontus should be prime targets. Not Gaul.

Do you ever want to turn on flame ammunition for onagers in open field battles when safe to do it?

Is your Denmark play through done? Honestly I would prefer to see that as opposed to another Rome campaign but thats just personal preference so don’t sweat it too much. Still enjoy the vids but i would like to see you finish Denmark campaign.

Loving the series, finally all caught up! Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but a good tip I've found is if you right click the settlement tab, it's brings up a whole list of your settlements and it's easier to see if something is being built, and also the happiness of a settlement. Really handy for mid to late game when you have a number of settlements 🙂 Keep up the great content!

Watching your Julii and Brutii series inspire me to try and win a Scipii long campaign and I kept losing cites to massive revolts/squalor eventually the Brutii became too strong after I wiped out Egypt. They must've watched your series because the locked the Julii in and I got absolutely destroyed and got pushed out of Italy. It would seem I have alot to learn. I hope to see a Scipii campaign after this!! (or a Greek cities campaign, because Spartans are cool!!!) Keep up the videos ill be attending all of them!!!

Lol. Just imagining- Julii Cmdr - Form Testudo! Hastati - What's a Testudo?

After watching your series and going back to your Julii campaighn, I really want to play Rome again and the Remaster seems pretty decently tweeked at least in regards to looks. Spare time is a factor so windering if I should get Remaster or the detractor-heavy sequel? Are fleet battle worth it? Is the AI siege mechanic better/worse? I'm a little biased toward nostalgia. I know Remaster will be a fun experience again but curiosity towards Rome2 and maybe Atilla is also peaking my interest. I could probably get them all together for peanuts but like I said, it's a time factor. In which series should I indulge? Cheers. Looking forward to some 1st Legion Cohorts.

Just a thought as I'm sure it won't be the last time it happens, in a situation where you can just march straight into the city because your spies have opened the gates like you had with Arretium I think it was? To minimise from losses due to missile fire. You could go into the city using the testudo formation, I understand it's slower and can be somewhat vulnerable to cavalry charges, but as we know the AI in Rome total war doesn't take advantage of that. 😊

Yo.. 1 I am soooo glad you are still consistently making videos of my favorite total wars. Your commentary and planning is nice to listen to also while you play through. Keep up the good work! I also checked out historymarche video that you brought up before that first battle and that is a very good one about the romans!! Will continue to keep watching and supporting your videos

Have you watched any of the Oversimplified cartoons on TH-cam? it's bloody funny but educational too.

Maybe too late to mention but there were was an interesting easter-egg I found whilst playing as Scipii back in the day. The Julii were just farting about so I decided to invade Gaul after my african adventures and i found something like a Grove of Epona. As a roman I was able to convert it into a Temple of Epona and so-on into a Pantheon. Awesome cavalry bonuses. After that, pure cavalry legions especially Numidian mercenaries were re-trained at a Pantheon to Vulcan and I had super veteran cav with gold weapons and armour.😁 Not sure if there are others like that. Especially since the Greeks share so many similarities with Rome. Just checked. The Spanish can buld a horse temple too. Don't know if it works in remaster though. P.S. At this point I'm thinking Tiberius may be a Maia. Or possibly a candidate for future Emperor of all Mankind.

Your reaction upon the general's death (apart from reminding me of Saruman seeing walking trees ruining his day) was pretty much the same as mine when playing as the Brittons. I'd enjoyed the use of chariots as the Seleucids but every time I tried to use my general's chariot unit, he died on EVERY BLOODY CHARGE! No matter from rear or flank. More than a couple of rage quits.

Heya, General. Recent subscriber. Much fun. For the record, and I don't mean to be insinuative or anything but I kinda like that your battles aren't quite honed. Adds more drama. I've rarely seen LHx10 lose a battle so find less excitement there. P.S. I'd rather serve in the cavalry under your command than LH's.🤣

29:23 LOL

Regarding 'cheats'. Anyone remember the retraining bug before the patch? Double sized units was hilarious. Not so much a cheat as you did have to pay the extra upkeep. So funny watching over javelins hitting an enemy. Or a 500 man unit of Germanic pikemen. x 20.🤣

I only found out recently but if you want to 'honour' a unit it can be renamed. Quite a few things can. Call it anything from a famous historical perspective to something just amusing. "The Tiberius Kirks", "Bad Motha F...s", We're all Spartacus" etc.

Ivomagus! Iv'e an Onanger.

Haven't played the remaster but did play the original extensivley. Yup. Spies cause unrest in enemy towns, and your agents provide counter-intelligence/assassination in your towns. You should also be able to embed them in your army to provide extended sight and reveal ambushing armies. They also help foil assassinations whilst on the march. As would probably building a stockade. One or two things regarding battles. You should be able to re-man rams and knock holes in wooden walls at least where there are no arrow towers. Or bring more rams. This means you can pin an enemy at one breach with one unit whilst outflanking them via 1 or two others, attacking the holding enemy from up to 3 sides. Also I noticed earlier that you had the ability to build onangers in a couple of your greek holdings. They work here just as well as catapults did in Med2 in an anti-assault capacity. Not just for fortifications. Instead of holding at the walls it can often be better to draw as many of the enemy into the city itself, bottle-necking the enemy at the breach or in the streets with an exellent defensive unit or 2 backed up with archers, onangers behind them. (Don't know if flaming arrows are thing in this version but they play merry-hell with enemy morale in a meatgrinder.🙂) Now that you've Thermopylae'd the enemy, blast into them with flaming onangers. Firing more to the rear of the foe to minimise risk to your own defensive wall. Won't be long till a chain-rout then unleash the cavalry either into the backs of the fleeing enemy or running out a side gate and waiting for them outside their breach to 'punch their tickets'. Worked a charm in the original. There are a lot of interface changes but the basics are all the same. Most of them seem for looks and tidiness. Would like to know if archers can do the whole flaming arrow thing. Film reviewing historians always face-palm at flaming arrows but... Thoroughly enjoying your playstyle.

Minor correction, sir. EpicHistory (in collaboration with HistoryMarche) has the Napoleonic series.🙂

It's been so long since i've seen/played R:TW I think of it as the Kings and Generals music.

Ah yes, the time has come. Execute Order 66.

41:20 die another day. Gustav graves.

33:24 Your battles are not boring as long as when soldiers are marching for 5-10 minutes before they meet their opponents you use those minutes to show the satisfying visuals of the marching and cannons firing and hitting their opponents

From 22:45 - 22:55, is the Ceasar thing a reference to either #HBOsROME, or #CrossingTheRubicon...?

I was genuinely a bit curious as to how your faction leader has lived so long and thought you may have broken the game a bit with when you pinned the jullii in, because you clearly broke them and you may have broke this. After googling it, I came across this article and I think you may have inadvertently done some of these things, therefore, there may be a small chance that your faction leader is immortal... I copy and pasted it and put it below because it wouldn't let me provide a link Guide on how to get your General to live to 128 years old and beyond (age resets to zero) First, I’ll explain a little bit about how the game’s age mechanics work along side the hardcoding. Age is hard coded with the amount of turns in a year. Its code is written in 8 bit, so 128 years old is the oldest any general can be, before going back to age zero. The general’s picture will become younger, and all his traits and followers will remain. (Awesome!) The game also has a hidden code with a varying percentage of chances to trigger events. These percentages are based on variables, such as followers, traits, and Influence. (Command and Management won’t effect age much, if at all) Apparently, Influence affects your standing with the Senate and your family holding as many offices as possible helps reach old age. It helps by avoiding being asked to commit suicide or accused of financial irregularities. It also helps, because the game is coded not to kill a faction leader and another family member who currently hold a Senate office. (Meaning the game won’t let you loose two Senate positions and a faction leader to natural death in one turn) The goal for reaching old age, is to maximize your chances getting a favorable outcome at the end of each turn. Once a turn is ended, the game will calculate all the variables and hopefully you’ll avoid a natural death. Ending a turn is like rolling the dice and seeing what you get. If you don’t like what you get, load the last End Turn save and roll again. There is a hidden mechanic that starts at age 60, it increases the chances of natural death. The good news is, that at age 80 (for some reason) the chances of death go back down. Other variables are security and loyalty. Security helps prevent assassins, always good for a long life. And loyalty helps with avoiding bribes. Movement points help you do more per turn. Meaning less time marching and more time conquering. My MOD list: (Using these three mods are the only time I’ve gotten to age 128) 1. Swagger’s Blood Mod 2. Recruitable Generals 3. Officers Here are some Traits that will help your chances: 1. Holding Senate offices (the more the better 2. “Austere” (300% increase to bribe) 3. “Blessed with Vitality” (25% movement, 20% construction cost, +3 man…all my old generals had this one) 4. “Great Deceiver” (+1 inf, +1 com, 15% senate election) 5. “Hale and Hearty” (+6 hit points) 6. “Virtus” ( +3 inf, 15% senate election) 7. “Consummate Politician” (+3 inf, 15% senate election) 8. “Proven Loyalties” (200% increase to bribe) 9. “Obsessed by Security” (+4 personal security) 10. “Rhetorical Expert” (+2 inf, +1 man, 15% senate election) Here are some Followers that will increase your chances: 1. Chirugeon: resurrects 15% casualties after a battle 2. Physician: Prevents disease, resurrects 10% casualties, increases chance of children. 3. Drill Master: 25% movement, 10% training 4. Honest Man: 200% increase to bribe 5. Geographer: 15% movement, 10% tax 6. Librarian: +1 inf, +1 man 7. Biographer: +1 inf 8. Pet Lion: +1 security, +1 command 9. Veteran Centurion: +1 security, +1 command 10. Priest of Bacchus: +2 inf, +1 man (really any priest is good) 11. Military Tribune: +1 com, 10% senate election To get these traits and followers, you need to build places of education and public buildings. Then leave your general with full movement points in that city for a chance to get a trait or follower. The longer you wait and the higher level the building the more likely you’ll get one. The other way is you use console commands for PC, using the give_trait or give_ancillary (follower) command prompt. Example: type it exactly as below; give_trait Flavius Julius Energetic 4 This will give the “Blessed with Vitality” trait. give_ancillary this doctor. This website will help. gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/931860-rome-total-war-gold-edition/cheats Now that you maximized your variables for old age, try to only get 1 or 2 generals at a time to really old age. Any more than that, and you’ll have to reload the last End Turn a lot. The chances of atleast one of them dying at end turn is too high. The game is also coded to not let your faction leader die again of natural causes after you reload your last End Turn save. As your general ages, remember negative traits compound. When you slaughter so many cities over the many decades it gives you a lot of negative traits. I found it beneficial to let another general or captain kill the populace. You’ll get a lot of Mad, Insane, Blood lust, negative type traits if you don’t. I hope this helps you all. Remember to load the last End Turn, whenever he dies of natural causes and roll the dice of destiny again.

"Field of Mars"? Is General Sneezes holding out on us from Europa Barbarorum gameplay? :O

Welcome back Imperator! Fun factoid; in the old R1 Cyrene had an occasional habit of revolting against Egypt, at which point it would invariably go over to Macedon. When the declaration of war happened between them many episodes ago, i assumed that was what'd happened, and from the looks of Cyrene's garrison, it looks likely. As to the random night seige battle thing, i assume it's part of a way the devs of the remaster tried to give the player more opportunity to get the Night Fighter trait, but that's just a theory :)

Oh my god your faction leader is 102?! I’ve never seen that in all my years playing this game. All hail Tiberius!

I love this content. Better that i can Binge instead of waiting for new episodes. That may be the future?

No trade in Egypt could be because of plague!
