Pyrrhus was a fantastic tactician on the battlefield but a terrible strategist off of it. He made the Romans bleed but was one of the first to see that they wouldn't accept defeat.
That’s actually a really good description of most of Rome’s early enemies. Hannibal might be the exception to that one though. He had a very good strategy, it just that the Romans were able to undermine his support (defeating his brother in Iberia) and thus his strategy failed.
I'm glad that Pyrrhus got him self killed later on by Philemon. It was gust to bad the Romans dint lurn how to deal with the Greeks better sooner. Although because of Pyrrhus , Rome adopted the mighty triple axis formation.
@@Kaiserboo1871 Yep, his family became extreme powerful (a lot thanks to his father Hamilcar) and his amres were loyal to him. A lot of other families were jalouse. During the war hannibal was in Italy and the rest of his family was in Spain. Seeing how they had all stuff to do wihtout anyone in carthage itself the other families used this to reduce his influence and make him fail.
So I just started playing DEI, SO im not used to anything but vanilla. I think DEI is cool. I started with the same as you and actually made the same first few moves with slight differences because i think mines a bit different, maybe updated? But after a few turns I had epirus take cosentia and restore a new faction which i can manage doing the few battles to retake but In Italia i ended up with a rebellion idk why im so bad this would never happen to me on vanilla. any more advice/tips?
@@SimpzyTotalWar I actually fought the same battle you fought against Etruria earlier today using the Triplex acies.They hid in the brush like against you with a ridiculously long line of deployables. Think i lost just 271 men of 2200 or so. It definitely adds to the realism
Julia are the best IMO because of the +4 romanization. Makes expansion quicker. The 10% agri you took is worthless since all money comes from commerce and trade
ROTR DEI is the best campaign Ive played. Took me like 40 turns just to get a foothold but was able to break the game at turn 65 or there about once I started depopulating my armies and turtling it made diplomacy too easy I was buying everyone. But the first 20-30 turns were crazy lost 2/3 of my Generals and eventually had to pass the crown onto my nephew great mod
Yea took me abt 20 turns to secure just the peninsula from Epirus and the Etruscans. Then abt 30 turns just to secure Sicily. Then it took me all the way to turn 80 something to get Corsica and Sardinia. Dei is so realistic man. At turn 160 rn and got half of cisalpine and I’m pushing into Iberia. This all took 35 years of in game time so it’s really realistic
Sorry for another comment about Pyrrhus mate lol but I'd recommend the King's and Generals episode on him, it's all parts about him put together and it shows he was an absolute Mad Lad (Alexander's cousin too). It would be cool to see you play him and Epirus one day.
Bro Epirus in DEI is such a pain in the ass in anything other than Easy. I’m currently grinding my way past 5 Roman 20 stacks with constant Pyrrhic victories. At least they got that part accurate 😭
@@Yuki_Francisco Well he was cited by Hannibal and Scipio Africanus as one of the greatest military geniuses of all time (according to them only being beat by Alexander the Great)
My favorite faction to play as in Rome 2 is Athens. And I try to get my slaves to 0% in each Provence. 2nd favorite Egypt. Where I try to enslave everybody all the time no matter what lol
I don't know if you notice this comment. But I'll be supporting your channel as i hope it grows and bring back the rts gaming back in it's glorious place.

I just started playing and always play on legendary. Started on legendary got wrecked, very hard the same. I deleted the mods thinking it wasn't balanced but I guess it is designed for Normal difficulty. Going to try again
it breaks the game as ur leggionaries will get beaten by levies and enemy recruitment will be out of control. i just started playin on hard but was too easy. im not sure what solution is.
A hint, On my rome games, I capture Tarentum, sorry, Brindisum, by turn 3,or 4, Grab mercs, use both armies, and play the siege. Then, consolidate, and get ready for a Italian sneak. Good start.
With Rome infinity with spirits and storage are great but you would really need to Calvary units to win the battle archers are great but one of the other cav or archers. Cav units or archers of the secondary. Try not to mix all three in the same army or yes you will have do a lot more micromanaging. Do heavy on the infantry and yes Keep about five units of your secondary. if you're willing to try and give them a horse sandwich. Smash Calvary units in on their side have your heavy cavalry engaged with them in combat and have one or two of the lighter ones Frank can go around the side and smash them in the rear or the side simultaneously you get a maximum effect you'll have a route real quick
I have a pretty strong aversion to Pyrrhus of Epirus. An opportunistic little prick, who learned his place eventually. I have no idea why I'm so vehement against him, probably too much time studying Latin. Boy the Romans hated him.
This game is dope, Probly my favorite, I've never played 40k, Atilla had way better battle engine, better animations, especially Pokémon. 3 kingdoms is ok not into Troy, too much fantasy. DEI Like darthmod for Empire, is keeping this game alive for me, even have a game going currently,
just wondering if you use any submods for DEI like 4tpy or reduced unit cost and if so whats the load order great vid got me playing rome 2 again instead of the calssic shogun 2
"if you chose legendary difficulty it will break the game".... not at all... it's just harder. I tried DEI, and on Normal diffculty it offers almost no challenge (I never lost a battle). It's more interesting than Vanilla for sure, but Normal is too easy LegendOfTotalwar does a playthrough of DEI on legendary difficulty but he just spammed trash armies and auto resolved everything. It was boring as fuk...I was hoping to find a proper let's play on legendary. I guess it's not that one

@@Kaiserboo1871 Hannibal was also doomed by the fact that carthage refused to send him supplies because they didn't want him to get to powerful.
@@GG-vl7lh Wait was that actually a thing?
Were they afraid he would become the Carthaginian Julius Caesar?
@@Kaiserboo1871 Yep, his family became extreme powerful (a lot thanks to his father Hamilcar) and his amres were loyal to him. A lot of other families were jalouse.

Love DEI, glad you are making this series! I will watch as many as you put out.
Awesome, thank you!

It could be hard first time I had to restart 3 times Rome campaign and then I gained some experience
@@didierro4310 I hate that sometimes full stack fleets just move around and destroy my coastal settlements and f off again xd
This soundtrack is awesome I always forget how good it is. It doesn’t quite rival something like Skyrim but it’s awesome.
The Medjay of Fayium the soundtrack of the Frist Rome Total war
really like this kind of campaign! :D can't wait to see more
I’ve been looking forward to this
Just started a campaign after watching, awesome stuff haven’t played Rome 2 in ages!!
Love Rome 2. Would love some more
I would love a DEI like mod for Rise of the Republic(or Dei itself, i hope they adapt the mod like they did for Wrath of Sparta)
Think i'll restart my recent Roma DEI campaign and actually use Roman Battlefield tactics instead of my usual Long line
The triplex acies formation surprisingly works. Historical tactics don't often do. :)

Revisiting this series was a good idea haha ❤
Glad you think so!
@@SimpzyTotalWar you’ve always been soo good at replying to subs. I love you for that
YES!! ROMA INVICTUSSS
I just started playing and always play on legendary. Started on legendary got wrecked, very hard the same. I deleted the mods thinking it wasn't balanced but I guess it is designed for Normal difficulty. Going to try again
it breaks the game as ur leggionaries will get beaten by levies and enemy recruitment will be out of control. i just started playin on hard but was too easy. im not sure what solution is.

So what submods are you running? Nothing in the description.
I would love a DEI mod for Atilla in the late Roman Empire timeline. It is so interesting... anyone knows a good one?
Ancient Empires
Rather a conversion to 220bc, but there is also Fall of the eagles and Europa Perdita, they are combatible.
if you form a confederacy with etruria what will your new faction name be?
I don't think you can
@@martan1414 there is the "same blood" icon on the right of their name but maybe it is a bug or a useless icon you are right
You can't confederate with them
@@stinknugget6446 thank you for correcting me
If you confederate with the easy diplomacy mod, they just join Rome.
What are your sub mods
With Rome infinity with spirits and storage are great but you would really need to Calvary units to win the battle archers are great but one of the other cav or archers. Cav units or archers of the secondary. Try not to mix all three in the same army or yes you will have do a lot more micromanaging.

Us far us I know Hastati and Principe they had swords so why do we see them in this mod with spears??
They used spears up until the polybian reforms, which is in this mod and kicks in after 269 bc
You really love your Rome!
You should form the empire on its greatest year 117 also take babylon and ctecifon that would be nice
This Mod has the soundtrack of RTW in campaign ?
Just found this series, love the DEI mod! What do you make of the latest DEI patch? It's apparently quite big. Thanks for the content, keep it up.
I love it

For the first time I watch someone who's correctly saying "Divide et Impera" - salute!
Where can I find your submod list?
I have a pretty strong aversion to Pyrrhus of Epirus. An opportunistic little prick, who learned his place eventually. I have no idea why I'm so vehement against him, probably too much time studying Latin. Boy the Romans hated him.
Where is your submod list?

This game is dope, Probly my favorite, I've never played 40k, Atilla had way better battle engine, better animations, especially Pokémon. 3 kingdoms is ok not into Troy, too much fantasy. DEI Like darthmod for Empire, is keeping this game alive for me, even have a game going currently,

Is this long term or short term plz tell me long term
