When is Napoleonic Wars ever coming
During the ad read, I was ready for, "My grandfather hated them, too."
Napoleonic wars?
Does your grandfather hate Gauls too?
My enemies are many. My equals are none. Oh sorry wrong game.
If caesar was a fictional character from a book or film, people would criticize him for having too much plot armor and coming out of impossible situations all the time
Edit: Oh and I forgot, he would be called a gary stu too, after all he's a military, diplomatic, administrative, political and oratory genius all at once
Also, shout out to Sittius who on his own initiative repelled gnaeus, managed to kill faustus, afranius, scipio, juba's general and indirectly killed king juba and petreius
Yes, he's absurdly OP.
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction.
Especially cuz Napoleon was the same until the plot armour ran out
@@RodolfoGaming even plot armor has limits
😂 did D&D from GOT write this plot?
Most People know Caesar as the Great General. But as for me i only remember him as that dude who liked to make fortified wooden castles in the middle of a warzone.
*war*
Caesar: I want a fort there, there, there and there! While we're at it make trenches and palisades between them.
That guy turned an open field into a fortified position and made the enemy besiege him (in one case besieging him while he was besieging. 'The art of fortifications by Julius Caesar' would have been a great book to have
The man may have been quite the architect if the circumstances where different
I just call Julius Caesar Bob the builder
Something the later Romans tends to forget at Teutoberg
@@hyltoniali257 That was a different situation Varus Legions were double crossed by Arminius while marching through a heavily forested area. Teutoborg Disaster was down to the stupid decisions made by Varus
Elephants everytime they are routed: "I am gonna charge against my own army"
at this point i dont even understand why they used them. Every battle i watch with elephants they break and charge in their own lines
23:44 that is not even a panic. it would be reasonable if they had escaped backwards but they straight up targeted their own forces. I was like wtf?
@@comradekenobi6908 that is plausible
lmao, spot on!
Elephants aren't stupid at all, so maybe they try to avenge themselves.
Inviting Caesar for dinner.
Caesar arrives: starts building a fort outside in the backyard first.
*kids set up tent outside* Caesar: and I took that personally
After what Scipio's men did to the 14th Legion, it is hardly surprising that Caesar's men showed them no mercy.
@@alihasangaming6969 didn't you just watched the video? prisoners from the veteran 14th legion were tortured and killed infront of the Caesarians camp.
@@alihasangaming6969 Tortured and executed several men of the 14th Legion outside of the camp.
Instead of scaring Caesar's men, it just pissed them off.
@@WPTheRabbitHole While you're right that the bombing of German or Japanese cities did little to break the morale of either nation, it should be mentioned that the Allied bombing of Axis cities was retaliatory in nature. The Japanese murdered millions of civilians in China and had also bombed cities there while the Germans had terrorized nearly all of Europe. In the words of Bomber Harris, "The N-zis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
To be clear I'm not attempting to justify the killing of civilians in Allied bombing campaigns, but merely pointing out that the Axis powers had not only done the same but much worse in a war that they had also started. Whether it was intended or not your mention of only the Allied bombing campaigns gives the impression that the Axis powers are being presented as the victims in that war.
@@cactuslietuva You are wrong and Central Academic Agency is right.
Numbers do not matter, and I guarantee you that the soldiers of either side were not persuaded to make peace or surrender because their friends died or cities died.
That was the point Central Academic Agency made which you misunderstood as convincing a nation.
The soldiers are not the nation, they are not the ones calling the shots, they obey orders regardless of feelings.
UNLESS, they were supposed to be retired and instead they have been marching defensively through the desert in full armor for months while arrows and scorching sun hit them until they could not take it anymore.
Killing their friends is like looking at their future if they don't attack soon while they still can, which is why it happened. Baiting the cesareans or Caesar to make the first move by provoking them.
Caesar kept his cool and planned a bait himself which was much more sophisticated and well planned, but his men were at their limits too, so the provocation was working on some level.
atleast tgeir proviking works, they were now massacred
Caesar, literally any time in his career:
"I'm gonna do what's called a pro-gamer move.
@@AeneasGemini Genghis Khan should also be in that list.
@@maxanderson9293 More like Subutai, Genghis was not a general at all, it was Subutai and other generals like him that won all those Mongol battles.
@@ghostrider.49 absolutely true.
The only noob move he ever made was not calling in sick on the ides of March.
He was wearing a plot armor
_Julius the Builder, can we build it?_
_Julius the builder, _*_YES WE CAN!_*

@@PiyushGupta-vx6qi well it's actually a trait of being a Roman.
Overrated high ground seizer and builder
hello mr.everywhere
hilarious
Kings and Generals: Caeser backed into a corner
Me: So another victory I see
Caesar:"I don't get backed into corners but corners get backed into me!"
@@evilinside6327 Wow 😂
Optimates surround Casear and back him into a corner.
*Caesar:* "I'm somewhat of a tactical genius myself."
Caesar was an early user of the corner camping strategy.
Nobody puts Caesar in the Corner. (in my Patrick Swayze voice)!!!!
22:40 "Plutarch claims Caesar had an epileptic fit before the battle (Caesar icon on battle mini map starts vibrating)"
I died 🤣
he was on silent mode
I have epilepsy and as a child, finding out caeser had it was really awesome .
That's why they call him Julius Seizure.
@@luciano9755 bro cmon now 🤣
@@luciano9755 EPIC
Having a good meal and then killing one another in a duel is the definition of "going in style".
Even Cato's exit was pretty classy. Again a good meal & retire to read one of the classics. Love the quote from Caesar.
@@markuhler2664 the way brutus went after being defeated by anthony and octavian is my favourite, check historia civilis video on it
german wiki says that Cato first fell unconscious from the sword-thrust, then he was treated and when he woke up, he teared open his wound and died. It can be miserable and rough ,i guess. So falling unconscious from very strong pain is a human reaction and is documented to happened in japanese samurai culture (with seppuku) as well. The individual has to have a 100% death wish and commitment to die when choosing this method.
@@Scout887 yes! He pulled out his own guts with his bare hands, AFTER the first suicide attempt failed because his son saved him and had a doctor bandage him. I'm surprised the exact method wasn't mentioned in the video, because it mentions so many other small facts and death accounts that I didn't know before and only learned by watching it
Its come to the point where everytime the situation looks to be dire for Caesar, I sit there thinking "he's gonna start building something, isn't he?", only to be proven right shortly afterwards and naturally I feel a sudden urge to exclaim "HE IS BUILDING!" which so far has resulted in me waking up my 70yo neighbor once.
Yhea he certainly loved to build stuff. His troops were exceptional at it as well after doing it so much.
what the shit are you talking about
@@dauastund4255 If you dont understand what he is talking about you clearly dont watch these vids and dont know much about Caesar, Caesar loved to build and was amazing at using it to win near impossible situations
@@Saintphoenix86 ok
Caesar takes 1-2 days to build small city sized camp for 50 thousand soldiers including roads ditches bridges walls and watch towers....while in eastern Europe it takes 10 years and costs twice as much to fix 2 kilometer road
Western?
@@NapoleonBonaparte-of4sl eastern and western Europe are 2 completely different economic classes all together
It takes a lifetime in Nigeria 🇳🇬 Africa
thats probably because the modern workforce doesnt consist of 50k workers for a single project
LOL 🤣 BAAHAHAHA 😂 LOL hilarious feather Quirious
Respect to the training elephants hit with dummy javelins.
Caesar: I shall perform the perfect manoeuvre, forcing my enemy to give battle at the perfect place at the perfect time
Sittius: I shall hit the Optimates until they stop moving
I love how the elephants in the battle of Thapsus had better flanking abilities then most armies that we have seen on Kings and Generals documentaries hahaha
Haha, watching them I thought, it's almost as if they're sabotaging their own army on purpose! Fleeing in a straight line would have been easier for them than executing such a sweet flanking manoeuvre!
In Historica Civilis' videon on the battle the elephants were on the sides but actully in front of the line. He claimed that Caesar's troops had trained to leave gaps in their lines for the elephants to run through. I have no idea which version is more reliable, but in the other video the behaviour of the elephants makes more sense.
@@xergiok2322 that's the trick Scipio Africanus used against the Carthaginian elephants
@@xergiok2322 well civilis also says that the battle took till night when the elephants were pushed and routed but as far as i know the elephants which battle caesars right flank were routed before they even touched caesars flank and scipius left flank was also routed due to that and the battle was almost over before it even started and i think it was night when caesars legions had already stormed scipius 3 camps
You've got to hand it to Caesar, he just rarely seems to make a mistake. He takes every precaution he can to ensure safety and yet is never slow to spring into action when needed. The elephant training seems like such a good idea and makes you wonder what Scipio was up to in the same time. Programming Totalwar AI battle tactics I'd imagine 😉
Ceasar's strategic decisions and reactions were brilliant, it made Thapsus itself seem like a formality.
Caesar made numerous bad decisions that almost led to his complete ruin. Fortunately, he had a combination of boundless determination, quick wit, good subordinates, and dumb luck.
It's kind of ironic how Caesar describes Titus Pullo as "Fortune's pet" in HBOs Rome, when he himself seems to have taken Lady Luck as his lover.
@@gaiusjuliuspleaser but don't you make your own luck?
@@AeneasGemini wasn't that sun tzu?
@@Monkey_SK If you make it yourself it's hardly luck.
There's a reason this guy is remembered so long after his death. He was a beast!
Even his death was dramatic. How fitting.
Yeah and he lived an exciting life full of adventure, unlike the average pen pusher lol
@@baha3alshamari152 Sure, but also not really. Even if he died in the battle or natural death he would have been remembered for everything he have done i think. Being stabbed in ancient Rome was nothing unusual. Still its true, that Caesar assassination was very dramatic.
Everyday you live an look at what day of the year it is is because of Caesar invented the calendar
...and that reason is Octavian. 🙃
After all these videos, I just realized that while Caesar is famed for the conquest of Gaul, his greatest conquest was probably the entire Roman Republic. He was apparently the only one to battle in every region of it to take over part by part.
Caesar had his cheatcodes on during every battle
Nah just an overrated high ground seizer and builder
Nah he just spammed auto_win every major battle
how do you turn this on?
Not only Caesar is a briliant commander, lady luck seems to be on his side most of the time. Now that's an incredibly lethal combination.
Unless it involved water. Lady misfortuned always threw a wrench at this ships when having to cross the seas.
"Fortune has taken them as a pet"
@@illerac84 Who said that, about whom? I want to give credit when I use it.

@@evilinside6327 his*
Cease what you do in your free time?
Ceaser: of course, fortify more...
Scipio: outnumbers Caesar
Caesar: starts constructing
Scipio: takes the bait
Caesar: smokes a cigar whiltst broadly smiling "I love it when a plan comes together"
This civil war pretty much encapsulates the Roman mindset, defeat after defeat and the Pompeian forces utterly refused to surrender, choseing suicide or resistance. No other people in the world would have fought as long or as hard as the Romans did, even against each other.
Which made their civil wars quite devastating
One of Rome’s greatest enemy was other Romans.
Did Juba not commit suicide?
@@baha3alshamari152 which battle of Adrianople are we talking about?Is it the one where Emperor Valens died?
@@elibrahams5566 26:30-27:00 or so. Juba was overthrown by the time he & Patrieus got to his capital so they ate dinner & dueled. That way, at least 1 died in battle. Juba won then had a slave kill him.
Will you cover the rise of Octavian some time and the civil war between Octavian/Anthony against the conspirators???
Check out Historian Civilis, he just wrapped up said civil war and is moving onto the clash between Octavian and Antony
@@rohan1_ Thanks for the info man👍👍
Looking forward to that
"They sleep standing up, you know. Elephants. On account once laid down, they... cannot rise again".
"I was not aware..."
@@mourka01 Probably my favorite scene of the entire series (aside from Pullo in the arena). It showed the desperation of Cato and his loss of motivation. The crushing weight of his position as the analogy of the elephant's weight. His greatness mired in loss and unable to rise again. Definitely a great show!
Ya,I loved the show but when I started reading the history of Rome and the civil wars of Caesar the show felt so condensed,I appreciate the show don't get me wrong and understand the circumstances the directors where operating in but I would have liked to see a large scale TV series covering Caesar's civil war and when I mean large scale I mean Game of Thrones large scale but you know want fuck it I want it to be bigger than Game of Thrones
@@adamschaeffer4057 you summed the scene poetically..
@@nebsam7137 With a decent budget, accurate historical perspective and a good cast Caesar's life could easily be a ten season HBO show. Shame people nowadays aren't interested enough for it to happen
@@adamschaeffer4057 agreed it would put many every others show to shame because it gets the added definite of being something that actually happened.And the producers don't even have to change anything because the events are chock-full of epicness
I never thought Caesar was a schlob as a battle commander but I did have the impression a great deal of his legend was p.r., which is a force multiplier mind you, but used mostly for his political campaigns. The more I learn of him, the more I realize I don't know him.
He always seemed patient to me, striking at the best time which is something too many generals in history just don't get. Using that time to train your men, during your campaign, to counter the enemy's tactics is beyond genius.
I will never stop loving the Rome Total War soundtrack
Do you know where to find it?
@@aw7108I'm sure that it is available on TH-cam.
@@aw7108 yep its on TH-cam, just search "rome total war OST"

Where is this from?

22:43 Caesar's icon moving about when he is having a fit is hilarious!
I literally inhaled air more than I normal do on seeing the notification for this video
air?
The Gallic and Germanic cavalry had served under caeser previously, so rather than fighting caesers cavalry they exchanged peace offerings. Ohh, how nice :)
A while later: "... but the gallic and germanic cavalry were slower and were cut down to the man." Oh :(
12:30 That Centurion. You've got to love that old school loyalty.
When I hear K&G-Ceasars Civil War's notification...I get:
Temporary confusion.
A staring spell. Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs. Loss of consciousness or awareness.
Psychic symptoms such as fear, anxiety or deja vu.
Afterwards my friends told me I had a Julius Seizure..
Wow! Caesar's campaign in North Africa was impressive with stunning battles in the area not matched until Erwin Rommel would verse George Patton in WWII.
3:58 Cesar always has a stroke of Luck...
Captain America: I understood that reference
No, he also had a stroke of epillepsy before this battle. :)
Usually it's just that he's waiting rather than engaging
Legionaires: "How many fortifications and trenches would you like us to construct?"
Caesar: "Yes!"
Never gets old, kids.
"Enough to keep the men busy while I figure out how much pull this out of my ass."
"The spade is mightier than the sword."
---Caesar, probably
A Scorpio being defeated by elephants. Hannibal would have appreciated the irony.
You mean Scipio
As always when there's a video about Julius Caesar
Me: CLICKS IN A HEARTBEAT
Caesar:
Brilliant as a commander.
Great at improvising on the fly.
Really good at bouncing back from setbacks.
Luck seemed to favor him in battle over and over again.
Added up, it makes for an lethal and legendary warrior.
Don't forget keeping his men busy with fortifying their positions whenever there's downtime.
THESE ANIMATIONS GIVE ME MORE
Historia Civilis AND K&G uploading within hours of each other! All hail 🟥
I can see the memes about Caesar the builder but...the man was FAST.
Hardly ever in any campaign I have seen someone be so proactive (yes he built, but I built on the offensive most of the time...that’s just crazy) .
He always managed to get back the momentum in some way or another, truly amazing
This sounds weird, but the anticipation and fufillment of that tiny cracking sound when one of those unit markers gets destroyed has an oddly therapeutic effect.
I loved how the narrative focuses on the strategies and thinking of Caesar - it's like a little compendium of strategic principles. For me, the overall approach can be summarized in: "draw the enemy to fight on your terms"
I read that Cato first fell unconscious from the sword-thrust, then he was treated and when he woke up, he teared open his wound and died.
I love how creative assembly talk about all the factions being unlocked even though everyone and their mom modded the original game files to unlock them
Caesar's ability to correctly guess and deduce were almost as eerie as his luck in war
7:47 Pullo and Vorenus coming in. Game over
Ignazio Silone once wrote:
"Liberty isn't a thing you are given as a present. You can be a free man under a dictatorship. It is sufficient if you struggle against it"
The optimates really still think they can defeat caeser?
Absolutely. They were all raised the same way.
I think it’s more like they couldn’t face living in a Rome ruled by Caesar. It was a pride thing. They felt that Caesar was a traitor & they couldn’t support him. They felt they had to resist to the end.
It only takes one decisive win to do it, and it's not like they didn't have the numbers. Caesar was just too gud and too lucky. If he was defeated in battle I highly doubt the same scenario would've happened as after he was assassinated. The republic would've been saved, and the course of history would've been quite different.
@@sntslilhlpr6601 The Roman Republic had already been dead during the Sulla dictatorship {30+ years earlier}. Why? Because the economic power {read money} was in the hands of the Populares and NOT in the hands of the Optimates represented by Sulla and Pompey. The Optimates were mainly land owners aristocracy and the Populares were bankers, traders, etc. It is much the same nowadays: you make much more money doing banking or trading than farming...
Just think what Caeser could have accomplished if he wasn't assassinated. A military genius that departed too early.
"Gods I hate Gauls". You know that's why I love this channel. History channel with a splash of gaming. How many times I played that campaign.
0:33 thats why I love this channel so much
This entire channel has been amazing but today, this is the new “Decisive Battles”.
Is it me or this video has a few more tricks (animations) up its sleeves? The Caesar fit, the scorpion bombardment. Great job K&G!!!!
I gonna fortify this comentary.
I'm glad you have more than 2 million subscribers. We need more people interested in history so we stop repeating our worst mistakes.
Time after time I keep watching these great historical videos an am amazed by the sheer vast life, conflict and political maneuvering of Julius Cesar. Kings and Generals channel does a magnificent job at breaking everything down and delivering it all with clarity and drama.
Nowadays, you take a town or a city and the enemy capitulates
I think in truth Caesar is just a great builder. Everywhere he goes i hear just, he is building this he is building that....
Every episode, I love the brilliance of this man more. Every episode, I get more sad as we approach what's about to happen..
Yeah, the saddest day when the green square gets beheaded. Likely don't have to relive it here tho; they gloss over the political parts
Maybe history isn't being kind to him, but doesn't it seem that Cato always ruins plans.
Yeah, selfish bastard. Always thinking about how to ruin other people's fun.
Yup. he always took the glory, riches and credit from everyone else. Hell, that was what his entire family did.
And it was probably because he was scared of Cesar, after everyone ditched him, and the pathetic "Scipio" was killed.
For someone of the Roman aristocracy, none of them really did go to the front and do their roman duties.
Caesar was one of histories best tacticians. One only needs to study the Battle of Alesia to know this.
Me: How does an one seige a fort with another fort?
Julius Caesar: Watch me!
28:10 "Cato, i envy you your death, for you did envy me the preservation of your life" Correct?
A lot of people are saying Caesar was lucky, and I wouldn't dispute that. But Caesar's genius was that his patience and planning left as few things to luck as he possibly could. He turned every tiny possible advantage to his side before committing to battle.
Moreover he usually fought with his own men and didn't abandon them to be slaughtered when situation got bad
I'm going to have to firmly disagree with that. If I was to point out a weakness in Caesar's otherwise impeccable military ability, it would be that he frequently made very risky strategic moves without adequate preparation, repeatedly putting himself in precarious situations from which he would have to be rescued by either his other talents or indeed luck.
Did your grandfather hate Gauls too? Even before they put out his eyes?
So Cato , during a massive civil war , chastises his ally's (Pompey) son into starting a war with another kingdom.... seems like great timing
I love Caesar so much !
Me too.
After looking at these videos I finally begin to see why Caesar is such a legendary figure
Shit we're getting close to the end of his career. I've been loving this series so far I can't wait to see how it will ultimately finish.
Another fabulous video. You bring fresh light to everything you cover. You show exactly why Caesar was the absolute master of the battlefield. Thanks.
I never knew of Pompey's son's attack on the kingdom of Mauretania but it certainly had a negative affect on this campaign and if I remember rightly Mauritanian cavalry played a significant part in Caesar's victory at the upcoming Battle of Munda.
All the best.
The moorish king, the king of the barbars (the first inhabitants of what you call Mauretania, but not in the language of its people at that time, in their language they say "The Moorish Kingdom". The term Moor in their language (barbarian and not Berber, we have no "E" in Semitic languages, the E is a pure latin vowell) means : a western. And their kingdom means literally : the sunset land.
So the barbars who belongs to the Moorish Kingdom were occupuying north Africa and what we call in our language Iberia which is the costal Hispania for the Romans, these people are moors authentically historically and even geographically and genetically.
So if you make research about the Moorish kingdom you will see that this Kingdom survived to all the big wars that he had to manage till the came of the muslims. Otherwise we can only conclude from a logical perspective that the Moorish military presence with Ceasar and its efficience in the battlefield proved that the Kingdom wasn't there by surprise. Especially when you realise that Mauretanians stayed neutral during the Punic wars between Rome and the Cartaginans.
Honestly, it feels like everything is in place to hide as much as possible the glorious Moorish history. But when you know that King ATLAS was one of the first and greatest Moorish kings of what the Pheniciens called Moo-h-rim (The Sunset Land) you understand that it might be heavy for the mind to say the truth about what happened in this territory and what they accomplished before and over all Roman history and after Rome collapses. And even after these people embraced Islam, their land is still called the Sunset Land (Ma-gh-reb in Arabic, Morocco in English. What for you is simply a name, for us it's linguistic, geographical and historically enchanted.
This was a really fun n interesting video. Caesar proved yet again how difficult it would be to defeat him in the field. No wonder they decided to Assassinate him instead. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
how fitting this was just released as I am currently rewatching HBO's Rome after 16 years. Love it.
The one constant situation I have seen in the battles Caesar was in is that he always winds up having supply problems.
Hahaha yea, it does happen a hell of a lot! I think it's a result of his being so aggressive and always wanting to move fast and find his enemy asap, it often leaves his supply lines struggling to catch up.
@@petervoller3404 or being cut off.
I felt proud watching this being a Numidian myself, any other Algerians here, or some Tunisian or Moroccans? Love to all my Maghrebi brothers and sisters. Caesar fought these battles in our backyard !!

These videos poses such quality that I cannot say anything else is equal.
Your documentary on Caesar and Rome in general is one of the most comprehensive works online.
This is an amazing sequel I can't wait for the next episode!
I love this channel so, so much. Great work!
Awesome use of Rome Total War’s battle music
Tremendous, thank you for posting.
Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
your channel single handedly made me fall in love with roman history. especially this series has become one of my favourites to watch. thank you for your effort and the wonderful production value
Why do so many want to hear of Rome time and time again?
@@colinbarthelemy726 Because Roman history is full of epic generals and battles
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- so much more to our world, nubian cavalry, Bulgarian tactics, battle of didgori in georgian history. Ridiculous to focus so much on one empire without giving any real acknowledgement of defeats suffered from others. Thankful for this channel, appreciate the work put in but lord tired of rome rome ceasar ceasar ceasar completely overlooking so much other military capabilities from substantially smaller numbered forces who succeeded in gaining freedom from the romans, or died fighting
Man these video are just amazing, looking forward for more war series to come!!
Love the videos, favorite part of lunchtime!!
It is awesome that all your productions are such superb teaching tools.
I always enjoy a good ol' Caesar video. The tactics and strategies are always amazing to see.
another excellent video, thanks
Great era, great deeds, great characters and great show. Congratulations.
Great visuals and explanation! Love the music of the last two minutes :D
I see K&G video on Caesar, I click. Simple as that. This is the way. ✊
Love it! 30 minutes as well! Awesome!
I definitely love your channel it’s awesome guys! I try and watch all of your videos but I never miss any on Caesar. Been thinking about trying out the remastered rome, I’ve never actually played the og game only the second one. It is my favorite game tho, and hoping it to well get remastered!!
We're talking B.C yet it feels like Christmas! Thanks for all your efforts K&G!
Every video just amazing, and was gonna pick up the remastered Rome.,. hope this link is a referral to somehow support the channel! Keep up the good work
not gonna lie, this may very well be the very first advertisement that tells me about something i want before it made it's way onto my radar organically
Been waiting for month for this video and I'm pleasantly pleased.
