I had to record whole battle in slow motion with no sound at all, so all of the sound effects you hear are my edit, I think it doesn't look that much bad! :) The first cavalry part is a bit short but as you know it's about the animation limitations, I tried to show the tactics of Hannibal as much as the game engine allow me and I hope It's fine. Also, the formations might not be the same as like the other works/movies but I think it looks quite similar, Roman center are strong, while the Carthaginian center side is arguably weak. Huge thanks to my friend for his help, especially for the ''birdview'' parts.

this has to be the best so far

Thank you so much for this masterpiece I felt like this is your best video yet and to know that you put in all the sound yourself everything to me was perfect you sir are brilliant thank you again
Perfect
4:28 Imagine spending most of your savings in a good armor only to be slammed by a naked dude

Hilarious
@@NedimCanIncebay bu bir oyun mu, animasyon mu ?
Because the Gauls are also known to fight naked. No joke, it's recorded by Roman historians.
hell, imagine the fear, the terror of the units in the mid when they saw they were surrounded, screaming and dying everywhere with nothing they can do, just waiting for their death
I’d start burying myself under dead bodies
@jordan Webb hahah lolll
Im confused, the book "the art of war" says you should let your enemy the hope of an little outcome, because if theres no more hope for the enemy, he will fight stronger like an Tiger in the corner.
@@bibabutzemann5661 they did, in the actual battle as long as i know, the carthaginians lure them to a trap with weaker troops in the center and main line, so the romans thought they were wining cuz the carthaginians started to retreat, so the center did a hole, but not the flanks, that's when the romans got fucked
@@MrDarsoc he's talking about after the surround. And he's correct but here their commander was dead, another fled, and they were packed so tightly they couldn't even fight
"There is one thing, Gisco, yet more astonishing, which you take no notice of: in all those great numbers before us, there is not one man called Gisco.” - Hannibal Barca, in response to a soldier named Gisgo's remarks about the size of the Roman army at Cannae
Hannibal really know how to raise his armies morale.
Who is gisco ?

I think I found the subtitled version. I think this is the most accurate version.

Jet Jaguar: 😁 That's one of the greatest quips in history. The humor tickles through the centuries. The entire Carthaginian army was said to have been laughing when they heard it to the extent that the Romans thought they were the ones being laughed at. If the story's true then Hannibal sure had a sense of humor.
I dont think people understand how much 60k+ deaths are for an ancient battle
Exactly
60K+.
sadly, they see them as a number
@@bigmonkedong Yes, that happens a lot and frankly I understand why this happens, when you see a number on a screen you don't attribute that number with a person who had hopes, dreams, families, friends, lovers, etc. You see their statistic, as much of a madman Stalin was, he was correct in the general human perception of "One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic" of course because he was a malignant sociopath he assumed that this means people don't care, no, I've seen many videos reacting to the casualties of WW2 and have seen the horror on every person's face, part of the problem is our minds simply cannot comprehend that scale of loss fully, a single death in the news and said news station telling the victim's life story is a lot more simpler and personal to understand, that's why people seemingly "care more" about it.
@@bigmonkedong Also there's the fact that time eventually does soften the impact of a historical tragedy. Now or days if you made a joke about 9/11 in a random club performance, you'd probably get a few chuckles mixed with some uncomfortable silence, if you did this twenty years ago? You'd be lucky if you left town with your life. This is an event not even two decades old, now imagine an event that's thousands of years old...
u feel bad for hanibal, he outsmarted and masacred the romans multiple times in major battles but he loses 1 and carthage isn't able to recover.
That can be explained with one sentence:Man power matters
@@ageofassassins6780 Logistics more than manpower, likely, since Carthage simply wasn't able to move troops to where the war was happening. Hannibal's brother attempted to reinforce the Carthaginian army in Italy, but was defeated and killed en route.
@@mikep8071 Of course logistic is important but carthage didnt have much populatin as roma .Rome lost more than 200.000 but they still maintained fighting carthage had only nearly 80.000 soldiers for best effort they couldnt have raise more army but rome produced more armies and in the end they won.Population equals size of army and production capability.Germans killed millions russian civilian and destroyed countless russian army but russians still had population for more army and factories and they defeated germany.
@@ageofassassins6780 wasnt he exiled because carthage thought he was too good?
@@BuRsTiNxMLB aye which was nice to see in this video movie thingamuhjig
If there was ever a battle in human history that is worthy of being called "THE Battle" or "The Perfect Victory", it's Cannae.
Nope. There is a huge amount of fabulous and terrific battles in the history of mankind, and I think, that Cannae's battle isn't the greatest battle, because WW1 and WW2 were more flagrant wars, and during these wars occured a lot of enthralling battles between different countries
Well I think he means somethings different, for it's own century, and the centuries to come after that, Cannae was proabaly one of the bloodiest battles the world've ever seen.
@@NedimCanIncebay If it is like this, I utterly agree with you
What about Gaugamela? I'm pretty sure it had a greater impact.
@@andrejanastasovski1189 impact yes, but the battle of cannae was the blodiest day in history. Yes in the two World Wars were larger battles with more fallen soldiers but they lastet months. At Gaugamela were more troops too but way less dead because Alexander rout the persians and Hannibal surrounded the romans so the romans couldn't flee.
I like how you add so much realism to your videos by not only capturing the fight itself, but by capturing the chaos of the fight as well. Massive props to you, my dude. You're gonna go far!!!
That's exactly what I'm trying to do, great to hear that, thanks a lot! :)

You really understand what was being fought for here? Something that transcends nations or boundaries or ethnicities. It's not hard to put your thumb on it.
This is not just one of Hannibal's greatest victories, it is his GREATEST VICTORY, he had written it in Roman Blood even if Rome wiped Carthage from the face of the map.

bro i want an 1 hour version this was amazing
Dan Carlin gives a detailed description of the battle of how it felt being a roman soldier as if you were there yourself in his podcast episode series Punic Nightmares. If you are a fan of military history there’s no one that makes podcasts as interesting as Dan Carlin.
It´s just incredible how this General could have mastered so precisely such a chaotic situation
Yes it is! :)
Without gps, radios, wireless and flags !
@@Zamolxes77 and having to communicate all that in a dozen of languages
Hannibal studied his enemies very carefully and his own army was a very professional one. He knew the legions would try to steamroller his battle line so he developed a shock absorber fighting line to counter it. The fact it worked is as much down to the officers and men who fought that day as it is to hannibal. His army was a well oiled machine.
@@alanmountain5804 actually, his Numidians cavalries are so OP that they carried Carthage in all of Hannibal's victory

"I am not waging a war of extermination against the Romans. I am fighting for honor and empire. My ancestors yielded to Roman courage. I strive so that others, in turn, are forced to yield to my good fortune and courage.“ Hannibal Barca
What a drama in 7:30 . What a men died. What a fathers. What a husbands. They died only for the extravagance of some ambitious, arrogant and insensitive people
Thanks Nedim. Good job
What an excellent production, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to all for the hard work in producing this. Like watching a movie on television. Some epic scenes and excellent shots.
Oh, thank you mate, I'm so glad you like it! :)
Well, as far as cinematic battles in TW go, this was a masterpiece. I am absolutly impressed. No negative critique (and believe me, this is *not* normal for me) Wow. You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Five minutes in and I have to pause it to catch my breath! It's just like you are there in the battle with them, so terrifying
4:27 when a naked judoka from Gauls kicks your ass.
That was really great video, I'd have loved the soundtrack to be Carmina Burana.Well done my friend
Looooll, it was a coincidence, but a good one, thanks a lot mate! :)

I never saw a naked men fisting a fully armored Roman! 🤣
Several Celtic tribes notoriously fought naked or with very little armor
Not as one of Hannibal's greatest victories, BUT THE GREATEST VICTORY OF ALL TIME.
Men have many flaws and shortcomings. But then you think about events like Cannae where men butchered each other like cattle and you realise that there is value there.
The fact the romans kept coming back from this with more and more armies, to then build the massive Roman Empire. ‘Comeback is real’ to a whole new level
Back when total war actually had battle animations :/
I've been waiting for a year for that video!
4:27 is the starting of best part I think.
Hahah thanks. :PPP
@@NedimCanIncebay pls do more vis
Bravo man, even the Rome 1 music that was class haha
Hahaha thank you ! :)
What you doing here I subjucated you 3 month's ago in my campaign
Great clip! Really captures the chaos on the field. Can't imagine anything more terrifying than being a Roman that day, hemmed in, hearing your death coming closer and closer. And I'm not sure how Hannibal could have possibly besieged Rome after Cannae without siege equipment or enough men. About 150 yrs later, Rome simply besieged the besiegers at Alesia--no reason they couldn't have done the same to Hannibal. Plus, much of the peninsula was still Allied to Rome, and he needed to keep ravaging the land and destroying Roman armies to show the tribes that Rome couldn't protect them. Hannibal was brilliant, but none of them were nice guys.
The visual effects of modern video games truly is the makings of our very own time machine. This really gives a fantastic close in perspective of what it must of really looked like to see so many men engage in combat. Cannae was near complete devastation for many Roman Legions who in parts were packed so closely together due to their envelopment that they could not even lift their weapons to fight or defend themselves. Because of this the Romans and their allies were where they stood systematically killed by the tens of thousands. Modern estimates put Roman dead at around 50 thousand, an astonishing number for a single days action and even more so to think that the whole event was over in just under 6 hours. To put that casualty rate into some perspective it would be the same as the entire capacity of arenas such as the Colosseum in Italy, modern Anfield in Liverpool England and the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig Germany.
Very well put together video thank you for the content. 👍
I'm so glad you liked that mate, thanks a lot! :)
I think from the camera work and the post added sound effects alongside the probably very complex controlling if the army this is one of your greatest works.
You never disappoint your viewers
It's my first aim, to make it better with every video and I'm so glad for it, thank you! :)
@@NedimCanIncebay yes, it was the first thing I noticed. The camera perspectives are very different from the previous videos and the improvement of the overall video in comparison to your previous ones is visible in this particular one.
I also highly appreciate the bird perspective in some scenes where you see the whole scale of the battle which let's you guess the complexity of the work behind all this.

Hannibal speaking to his officers in the beginning really added to that sense of foundation. Almost as if he's speaking directly to us. Absolutely amazing!
I saved this video a long time ago. I just recently discovered i have aphantasia so i didn't remember this but i know when i saw it, it was gold. Thanks for this amazing experience again. 10/10 total war content
you have immense talent. Grateful that you put your talents to showcase a great moment in history. Hannibal Barca's battle victories and pioneering war tactics echoed throughout the region and later the world. He won battles against statistical odds.
He gave many tribes hope, inspiration, and motivation to go up against the greatest war machine in the time. The roman Empire.
An empire that had great amounts of soldiers, wealth, and resources. All plundered from other regions. An empire designed to plunder and enslave for growth.
Hot Damn! Fantastic video man. Been playing Rome 2 for years and it's my first time to see some of those combat animations.
Thanks a lot mate! :) It's probably because this video was made with Total War Attila, they have the same animations but my settings are a bit different. :)
Nedim Can Incebay ahhhhh damn I thought you were using some animation mod because I also thought it was Rome 2. That explains the better animations.
I was thinking the exact same thing
@@NedimCanIncebay Yeah maybe you should say which game this is made in I had to go through comments to figure it out. Amazing video!
Great video! nice that you added voice over from hannibal romes worst enemy, also great camera work! top notch stuff
Thanks a lot mate! I thought that was the best way to narrate the battle, thank you again! :D
Really well done👍🏻 about time someone showed The Battle Of Cannae for what it really was. You captured the blood, death and carnage that so many other videos fail to do. Bravo 👏🏻
The battle of Cannae: The mother of all battles. Hannibal, the greatest general at all times.
Did you know Napolean won more battles than Julius Caesar, Alexander the great and Hannibal combined. . . . . .
It’s one of the greatest video on TH-cam , I’ve ever seen!!!. Thanks !
I'm so grateful mate, thanks a lot! :)
Love that you put the Rome Total War soundtracks
that long contiuos shot starting from 4:30 is really insanely made. Good job
Thanks a lott! :)
Who's here after oversimplified

“This enraged Hannibal who punished them severely”
4 minutes in and it's already better than most Hollywood movies about Rome and fighting all together. Fantastic!
Wow, you captured the battle better than movies or series man, keep it up 👍.
I'm so grateful for that! Thank you mate! :)
@@NedimCanIncebay so,nice of you❤️.👍🏻
No words can describe how well this was made!

Thanks a lot mate! I am glad you liked it! :)
This is probably the coolest channel I've found in a long time.
the tribute to the original Rome with the song was truly beautiful.
I like the close ups to the front line, you can almost feel the hits on your chest. Awesome. I think extending this vid to show the full battle would be a killer. :D
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it! :))
Lovely your crations. Make me to send the display to the 52" TV to see it with all splendour. Congratulations, Artist!
Hahah I'm honoured, thanks a lot mate! :)
That was EPIC! Some brutal carnage. If you survived that battle, or any battle similar in those days, imagine the PTSD you would have for the rest of your days.
All the Febreze in the world couldn't mask the horrific stench of that battlefield.
well done sir i am 72y old and your vidios are some of best ive seen ..please keep up the good work ( subscribed )
really super
Rome 1 and Medieval 2 music in the same video? This guy knows how to pander and I like it
Wonderful work here. Excellent execution. Captivating. I'd love a build up just prior the battle maybe next, armies emerging from the woods, perhaps a quick in-fiction spoken run down of the plan between generals overlayed with shots of the battle. Perhaps even how plans change as the battle rages. Also I'd love dialogue from the perspective of the Romans. Again, thank you for all the work and to those who helped you.
Thanks a lot mate! Actually I definitely want to make something similar as like you mentioned, just don't have any dialogue or kind of stuffs like this, but I'm also planning to narrate the battles in the future. :) I'm doing all of these videos alone (with AI, I mean) but this time one of my friends helped to record some of the aerial shots easily.
If you want to see the battle plan and the true mastery that Hannibal had over warfare you should check out Historia Civils. They have an video dedicated to cannae as well as a whole series on Hannibal in Rome and even the ambushes he faced when crossing the alps. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’ve never studied the Punic wars. Honestly every battle was fought like this with Hannibal having a master plan that always worked.
my favorite battle in all history ...
Increible viejo, increible. De lo mejor que he visto en este estilo, quizá lo mejor.
All those lives lost for nothing. War is fucking disgusting. Amazing video bro!
I have read so much about this battle of Cannae. It would have been great to see more about the defeat of the Roman Consuls on each side( Emilio Paulo and Varron) or more about the numidian cavalry.
But Holy shit this was amazing. Appreciate so much your work!!!!
I actually tried to show, for exp, at 2:25, you can see one of them, and the one horsemen died at the end same like that, just couldn't go deeper than this, thanks a lot for the comment, I'm so grateful! :)
Nedim Can Incebay Thats true! Damn i might be blind. Even with the resources you had you were able to give us that hints.
Seriously man, nowadays people do not aprecciate hard work. And because of that I want to thank you again. Keep your work up! World needs to motivate people who risk and put effort on things.
Una de las batallas más grandes de todos los tiempos y tal vez la más expectacular
hannibal fought in spain france germany in the alps and italy for 16 years with no reinforcements and never lost a battle in europe.indeed he is the best general that ever lived.even at the battle of zama his veteran third line was punching holes and beating scipio till king massanisa jumped hamnibal from the back to help scipio.
nope there is a better general
@@oussamahobloss5120 who would that be ?
@@sahiramena3388 Khalid Ibn Al-Walid

@@oussamahobloss5120 god was helping khalid bin walid.hannibal didnt get help from no one not even his country.now just imagine if hannibal got help from god or carthage.😊

Thanks a lot mate! :)
This is the type of movies we need desperately lol I love war movies
"so the gods have not blessed one man with every gift, You know how to win a victory Hannibal but not how to use it" Literally the world wouldn't be as we know it if Hannibal destroyed Rome that day
The shot between 4:27 and 4:41 is amazing.
Great video !
Hannibal Barca of Carthage “The G.o.a.t” and the pride of North Africa 🇹🇳, His art was war and cannae was his masterpiece. Cannae is The greatest battle ever and the bloodiest day in history ,25% of Rome male population was killed in this battle

Roma Total War - Divinitus gave me the chills and brought back old campaign feelings !
Bro this was awesome your channel is soooooo good keep up the great work dude!!!!!
Mago: “Hannibal, you can win a battle, but not the war!” (After Cannae, the road to Rome was open and his for the taking, but he did not feel he had enough troops to take the city and Carthage refused to send reinforcements).
Hannibal did have a point. He had no siege equipment and no help from Carthage. Even if he took the city, which would have been challenging even for him, he would have found it difficult to keep the city from determined Roman attempts to retake their capital city.
He held out hope for a Roman capitulation which would have ended the Roman attempts to march on North Africa and Spain. He never really had enough men to secure the entire Italian peninsula. Can you imagine how different things would have been in history if Hannibal had gotten the support he needed. History as we know it would have been entirely different
The Romans were packed so tightly together they couldn’t even swing a sword.
There was one battle where Rome was surrounded on all sides, they were so cramped together that their own troops suffocated near the middle of the formation
8:10 *That Gallic dude looks like he's enjoying sending Romans to Flavor Town.*
Great job! Can not imagine being in the mix here.....
Man these animations are incredible. Kudos to the modders. Thats super impressive
You mean the combat animations or the as a whole? :)

@@adarsh6857 Rome lost only 15,000 men in the "battle" of Teutoburg, not many compared to several others, and then it is overrated, the Romans annihilated the germanic forces years later but decided not to annex their lands.
@@nicolamenin8061 well they were afraid to annexe Germany because they knew that they might repeat the history. That battle marked the end of Roman expansion into north singlehandedly

GOOD JOB BRO
Superb work man, can see this was a labour of love.
It still shocks me that the route, was really planned in advanced, with most the troops seeming to understand his intentions. Hannibal was one hell of a leader.
It is actually debated whether this exact plan was fully intentional from the start. It is clear that Hannibal wanted to surround the Roman army, but many historians actually believe that the Carthaginian center slowly giving in was not something planned on before the battle developped, but rather the lines being pushed back by the legions. But without this crucial move, Hannibal could very well have failed to surround the Romans, and the center would have collapsed. It is more likely that Hannibal saw the center being caved in, and seized the opportunity to execute a complete surround. Only an idiot would have gone into battle with a plan THAT precise and all the things that could go wrong with it. Hannibal never would have put all his coins on one bet, he most likely had a simpler plan, that he could adapt and improvise from: lure/defeat the Roman cavalry, then flank the Roman army on both sides while the cavalry strikes from the rear. Then he saw an opportunity for a complete surround, and took it.
@@KroM234 Hannibal was almost definitely inspired by Hamilcar's strategy at the naval battle of Cape Ecnomus, with a weak center and strong flanks.
90,000 romans died
-Pyrrhus is one of my favorite generals, he died foolishly
Greatest battle victory of all time hands down.
