Varus was not infact killed by Arminius, he instead committed suicide but that didn't stop the cherusci from decapitating him and parading his head and i think it may have been sent to Rome
I bet Augustus still would be pissed, one unit making it through does`t mean much. (But I`ll admit that it is an achivement in itself to finish this battle on legendary)
Actually Varus was extremly honorful man. He marched the forest because he believed his ally Germans needed help but Germans was just get ready to backstab him. And he didn't die like that when realise people he trying to save was actually his enemy he stabbed himself. He little bit like Ned Stark, dump but honorful.
@@jason4275 Varus was a general from a "political" background....if you know what I mean. He didn't actually know how to lead men into a battle. He was used to provide political feedback from and to Rome. He could maybe do a bit of logistics, but that was it. It was a recurring problem for Rome - putting men in charge for political reasons rather than merit......but I can't say we're any better today. When Rome took revenge against the Germans 8 years later....they sent in someone who knew what he was doing. The Germans tried the same Forest Ambush tactics....but the new general actually knew how to fight back smart. Basically.....Rome slaughtered all the tribes and had their revenge. Forest ambush tactics only gets you so far against a general who actually climbed his ranks fighting in all terrain. Rome had more problems on their trip to and from Germany.....opposed to the fighting during the revenge campaign.
A bit like Ned Stark? Varus was killing Germans and shitting on their traditions and their ancient law. That was the reason why they rebelled in the first place. That he wanted to "help" his ally germans had nothing to do with honor, but whith his job as a general. He had to fight any form of rebellion. He just did not expect to be betrayed by Arminius.
@@randomdude2026 Because the Germans were being so nice by burning people alive, weren't they ? The Romans were specifically there to stop this madness and civilise those savages who later would even have the balls to call their dumb collection of cities " Holy Roman Empire " !
@@edwardwu2749 yeah that's just wrong and German propaganda. Varus was definitely a competent general as seen in his previous terms as governor in Africa and Syria where he quickly and efficiently stopped several revolts and uprisings. Saying Varus was an incompetent man on military and governmental level just doesn't make sense. The main reason for the loss at Teutoburg forest was simply the betrayal of Arminius. And trusting him doesn't make Varus the "fool of Teutoburg" as he was a member of the equites and a Roman knight who had proven his loyalty to the empire multiple times. Respectfully, I feel that people "hate" on Varus way too much just because of the later German propaganda in the 19th and 20th century.
Something is not quite right here. According to history, the Romans deployed as many as three legions to Teutoburg Forest, which made the Roman forces superior to the Germans in number. There should have been more Roman units under your command, i suppose
Because it makes more sense from an immersion point of view. Controlling the ambushers would be linear. Everything in this scenario is scripted and thus it works well. There were actually some legionairres that escaped from the battle, and they were the main reason the battle became known to Augustus, however no legions made it out (like this scenario has you do). The scenario is meant to be a challenge to see if you can rewrite history, and in most cases it will go historically as this scenario can sometimes be extremely difficult.
Well actually him and 200 other romans made it out of the forest but were led through a narrow pass between the woods and a lake. The germans had built trenches there and destroyed the last romans as they walked through. The tactics of the germans in this battle was very different. Arminius surprised the romans with a hit and run tactic to reduce loses. It is a very interesting battle.
if u use cav properly u can murder all their archers so quickly, they break on the initial charge and you just go one after another and after the initial part of the battle dont stop ur infantry just keep running
I remembered Germania was eliminated and exterminated by Caesar Elite Forces in later if I didn't recognise the history mistakely , Arminius was being send to Rome and being executed immediately by Rome Republic too
It may have something to do with the legendary defeat of a rather large roman legion (9th Legion). And because it was the Germanic tribes that did it. A opponent Rome seldom lost to, no matter what. I don't know, but it's a interesting fact of history
I doubt the Germans or however Romans called their provinces were even looking for a fight, it might have been Rome that, once passed the incomfortability of trying to survive daily live, found out about this word power, and how they could exploit it easily as other "nations" which were probably just towns living among eachother (I wouldn't say peacefully) were still at the stage of having to survive in the harsh terrain. This of course gave the Romans a huge advantage as these people weren't a military power/nation and were not as imperialistic. People see this stuff way too black-white, it was not a "1v1" back then guys..
+iP00WN Unfortunately, if you study history, they really were looking for a fight. Not that I blame them. The Germans had the intent of attacking and wiping out as many of Rome's legions as they could.
Because my ancestry is mainly all German, the Battle of Teutoburg Forest is the only part of Roman history that I find interesting. If I ever get another dog as a pet I plan on calling him Arminius. I also love the religious beliefs and superstitions of both sides in the battle. The Roman feared the woods, they believed that it was where the evil spirits lived. The Germans took the violent thunderstorm that happened throughout the entire battle as a sign from Thor that the Gods were on their side. The Romans lost 10% of their ENTIRE standing army (3 of 30 legions) in 24 hours of fighting. Rome never tried to conquer North of the Rhine ever again after this crushing defeat. On a sad note, the Nazis, mostly Himmler, viewed the battle as proof of the Aryan supremacy before it was "tainted by breeding with other 'inferior' beings" and had the SS headquarters where they did their occult rituals not far from where the battlefield is believed to be My only complaint is that you can't play as the Germans in this historical battle
Another good name would be Odoacer. He brought the Roman empire to an end and became the first barbarian king of Italy. I would still recommend looking more into roman history, especially as Julius Caesar is arguably the greatest general of all time and not many battles can compare to what he did. Also yeah, the romans were a huge influence on Hitler when he formed the Nazi party and the German armies. It's kind of ironic to think about, considering the history.
@@Badjazy I wanna focus more on the Celts and I hate Rome for nearly wiping them out. The Celtic races exist today because Rome couldn't finish them off in England and Wales and they failed in their invasions of Scotland and they left Ireland alone
I made it all the way to the last ambush with all three eagle cohorts at half health plus a few spears and then I got shit on, haha. Pretty futile if you try to fight it out.
technically he took most of the enemies attention away which would be seen as brave, but since he ran away it was cowardly, but in the real battle he was with the legion and committed suicide after realizing he lost :L
+Jackson Paul Very unlikely for one reason: smaller variety in units and factions than Shogun 2 unless they plan on expanding the general system to become faction-like. Going as DLC for Empire 2 is more likely (if they plan on Empire 2 somewhere down the road).
Bruh, the second scene for me was a black screen. I can see the UI and banners. But not the movement arrows. Or AMYTHING ELSE. Had to press tactical overview from time to time for a millisecond to see where im going. Made it out with all but the auxillaries tho.
Thats why you should never try and conquer the German tribes. The German Tribes had already many advantage against the Romans. For Example: They were in their homeland, they had the element of surprise, also ariminius he was raised in Rome then he betrayed rome and went to germans side, and ariminus told the tribes what are the romans weakness and the strength
IronBerserk I think the Russian would mostly do culture and racial genocide against the German people. Well if they have done it way back during the medieval times, the Russian while trying to kill all German tribes will probably get their ass kick off of Germany and back to Russia.
He was from a Germanic Tribe, that in no way guarantees he was German(What if he was from Belgian, Poland, Northern Europe, or even France-yes there where plenty of Germans in Gaul and possibly vis versa ). I haven't looked into it personally just saying that German in antiquity is a rather very General term. There was no Germany, in the sense that there is today.
Arminius was a leader in the Cherusci tribe which most likely inhabited the region near modern day Hannover. And yes the name is a latinized version of Hermann.
Hi, i managed to get out 2/3 eagles units at legendery difficulty :) but i didnt get the badge you get when winning a battle.... you only take it if you take out 3/3? did you get it with 1/3 thank you :)
Apparently Varus commited suicide during the battle and then Arminius took his head and presented it to King Marbod... But this ending is acceptable as well...
I did Legendary mode, and very hard mode, and didn't got any badge... it's verry frustrating... ( All 3 eagle troops were saved..in both)..should I report this bug?!
+Ephraim John Q Martin Those were germanic tribes, not the celts. You can usually tell if its a celtic tribe because they wear more plaid and have celtic helmets
The first rome total war's battles looks 10 more times more realistic, i mean here all the units go 1 vs 1 with kill moves and shit. Back in first rome they would try to sneak behind and attack from the rear and backstab. + the romans/phalanxes held ground and when one man died in the front another man stepped in thats how it should be. Rome total war 2: overall good graphics bad game mechanics.
"Realistic" in graphics maybe, but not when it comes to combat. We all know that back in the days they diden't fight "honorable" it was just one side trying to massacre the other with all means necessary.
Pre-Emperor Edition (this footage was from 2013, so it is definitely from then), it's true that the engine only allowed 1v1s between individual units like in Shogun 2, Napoleon and Empire. However, because so many people complained about it, it is now possible for more than one unit to attack a single unit - the visuals will show off a 1v1 between two units who are focused on each other, but other units which do not have a target to do a 1v1 with can target an enemy already in a 1v1 duel and do attacks from behind or to the sides at that enemy unit. If the health of that enemy unit goes down to 0 while not killed by their targetted duel opponent, they will use the ranged death animation. In Warhammer, they got rid of the 1v1 animations completely (except when it came to hero executions, I believe).
unfortunately the real battle wasnt this epic, the romans were ambushed in dense forest and could not manuever at all, they were utterly slaughtered and barely put up a fight
Your right it is a lie here's the real thing.Germanic tribes (Cherusci, Marsi, Chatti, Bructeri, Chauci and Sicambri) Roman Empire Commanders and leaders Arminius Publius Quinctilius Varus † Strength Unknown, but estimates range from 12,000-32,000. 20,000-max.36,000: 3 Roman legions (XVII, XVIII/XIIX, and XIX/XVIIII); 3 alae; 6 auxiliary cohorts. Casualties and losses Unknown. 16,000 [2] to 20,000 dead [3] Some others enslaved.
you didn't play better than me (absolutely legendary difficult). i kept 5 legions alive, but there were just 2 eagle legions. i'm fiding some vid show 3 eagle legions survive :|
We should learn from history I mean damn why he didn't send scouts or spys to German maybe he will know the conspiracy I mean what a fool will enter to a war and enemy land with no strategy. ....... damn that was so stupid if I was him I will send a spy behind a spy lol so if one of them betrayed me I know 😛
Aladdin Warlord This is not how the real battle of Teutoburg was, they were on a punishment expedition, with three legions, when they got betrayed by the Germans on their side and attacked from all flanks. Then it started to rain and they couldnt move their wagons. They got slaughtered. Varus took suicide, he did not get killed by the Germans
Lol...Its one ambush and your claiming "Germanic" tribes (I.e Scandinavian Tribes re Norway, Denmark, Sweden whom happened to migrate to Germany among other places) Ruled the Romans...so i guess you have never heard of the Byzantine empire which lasted for centuries after the West being the richest and often most powerful force in Europe. Arminius didn't win a single battle after this look it up, Germanicus Caesar(gaining the name Germanicus for his exploits in Germany obviously) avenged the legions deaths for several years after defeating these very same Germans in at least two pitched battles(Actually fighting a a prepared enemy head on) and many smaller skirmishes/battles (i.e battle of Long Bridges Arminius tried to pull of another Teutoburg Forest and failed, attacking the Romans on the March (whom had just finished campaigning in Germany) through marshes and swaps whilst they had to rebuild/restore bridges and roads for their baggage train they also had to fight of the Germans. This is the battle which the First Germanic Legion got its name, and indicative of the Legions discipline and courage holding out against a very very shitty situation. Germanicus went to the site of the ambush of the Three legions, buried the Dead and retrieved all three eagles, and if Tiberius had allowed him to continue campaigning rather than sending him to Syria(From memory) he may have been able to reprovince Germany given another few years. It took the Germans Three whole days to defeat a surrounded and outnumbered enemy(and to a degree unprepared) whom was caught whilst on the march very vulnerable situation for any army of the day with some of there supposed allies deserting them which never helps either.(The Romans even attempted to build a marching camp, with a wall on wide side and ditch being completed according to archaeological evidence) One Reason why Varus was caught off guard was because Germania had been basically prov inced/pacified (yes it happened if only temporarily) by Drusus (who died campaiging i think he fell of his horse, his troops built a memorial, he like Germanicus was very popular with the legions) and Tiberius. Varus thought that the rebellion was only minor one needing only a show of force, which had worked for him in the past on one occasion in the middle east. Also This took place in 9 AD, so if your claim is correct, it only took another few CENTURIES to defeat only the Western (weaker)half of the empire which had been in decline since at least the third century crisis, mostly due to internal weakness aka civil war) The "Germans" where symptoms/effects of internals weakness, not the cause of them. Rant over...
KingoftheGods123 the byzantine empires was collapsing since middle ages and they definitely weren't the most powerful force in europe, they kept losing territories to arabs and turks and constantinopol was plundered two times by the crusaders and russians, the roman empire was just destined to fall, it could not last, because of all the different ethnic groups it contained
Hey Askar, let me clarify certain things. :) In some cases the number doesn't matter, all that matter is the tactic you use to defeat your enemies, but number, never that much. And, in this video the battle was lost, only few men escaped, they escaped, they ran for their life, they didn't fight for it, they just ran, how can you call this a victory? :P
Just saying, the Varus commanded three legions, spread out in one long slim line. Doesn't matter how many troops you've got, if you get ambushed from all sides you're going to lose. Varus himself commited suicide and the legions eagle standards were lost.
Joshua Print And after that happened emperor Augustus banged his head against the wall and yelled, Varus, give me back my legions, which is displayed in the intro.

I think the game makes the germanic forces wipe out a ton of your guys since thats what happened IRL
Tuan Nguyen No, thats not true. The romans had , aproximately, 17000 soldiers and the germans had around 25000
And one more thing I dont understand is why must we play this battle on the defeated side?
Because it makes more sense from an immersion point of view. Controlling the ambushers would be linear. Everything in this scenario is scripted and thus it works well. There were actually some legionairres that escaped from the battle, and they were the main reason the battle became known to Augustus, however no legions made it out (like this scenario has you do).

at the end doesn't it say you have more than 50% more troops to start?

unfortunately the real battle wasnt this epic, the romans were ambushed in dense forest and could not manuever at all, they were utterly slaughtered and barely put up a fight
3:30

teh guy in the rear at 14:00 "Omg guys run,ru, run,RUN!"
Esti roman sergiu?:)
you didn't play better than me (absolutely legendary difficult). i kept 5 legions alive, but there were just 2 eagle legions. i'm fiding some vid show 3 eagle legions survive :|
It's all about saving the flag :D
How come they're so slow
because they are extremely tired.
how do u guys do this shit
Spartans are cool 👍
What does that have to do with the video
I love it
Lol, the Germans deployed only 960 while the Romans had 1580. That's a lie! xD
you cant play withou steam -_-
No one made it out
I can not win this one 🤣
We should learn from history I mean damn why he didn't send scouts or spys to German maybe he will know the conspiracy I mean what a fool will enter to a war and enemy land with no strategy. ....... damn that was so stupid if I was him I will send a spy behind a spy lol so if one of them betrayed me I know 😛
there should be german "king" who said herrman will betray him but varus didnt beleive
Oudamseth Samin am not sure that I understood what you mean
Aladdin Warlord This is not how the real battle of Teutoburg was, they were on a punishment expedition, with three legions, when they got betrayed by the Germans on their side and attacked from all flanks. Then it started to rain and they couldnt move their wagons. They got slaughtered. Varus took suicide, he did not get killed by the Germans
Axel Rudoöfsson thx for the useful information 😀
this was so easy on hard lol you just got to run no strategy.
Sincer,mie mi se pare cam greu de crezut ca Armeniu avea 10-11 unitati ,si chiar a fost exagerat nr. germanilor.
Esti prea prost.
i fucking hate the control system of this game.
VARUS that coward!!
Quintili Vare, legiones redde!
?
duuude.
We germans desteoyed those Romans and the roman empire. And even ruked them almost 1000 years after that.
Lol...Its one ambush and your claiming "Germanic" tribes (I.e Scandinavian Tribes re Norway, Denmark, Sweden whom happened to migrate to Germany among other places) Ruled the Romans...so i guess you have never heard of the Byzantine empire which lasted for centuries after the West being the richest and often most powerful force in Europe.
Arminius didn't win a single battle after this look it up, Germanicus Caesar(gaining the name Germanicus for his exploits in Germany obviously) avenged the legions deaths for several years after defeating these very same Germans in at least two pitched battles(Actually fighting a a prepared enemy head on) and many smaller skirmishes/battles (i.e battle of Long Bridges Arminius tried to pull of another Teutoburg Forest and failed, attacking the Romans on the March (whom had just finished campaigning in Germany) through marshes and swaps whilst they had to rebuild/restore bridges and roads for their baggage train they also had to fight of the Germans. This is the battle which the First Germanic Legion got its name, and indicative of the Legions discipline and courage holding out against a very very shitty situation.
Germanicus went to the site of the ambush of the Three legions, buried the Dead and retrieved all three eagles, and if Tiberius had allowed him to continue campaigning rather than sending him to Syria(From memory) he may have been able to reprovince Germany given another few years.
It took the Germans Three whole days to defeat a surrounded and outnumbered enemy(and to a degree unprepared) whom was caught whilst on the march very vulnerable situation for any army of the day with some of there supposed allies deserting them which never helps either.(The Romans even attempted to build a marching camp, with a wall on wide side and ditch being completed according to archaeological evidence)
One Reason why Varus was caught off guard was because Germania had been basically prov inced/pacified (yes it happened if only temporarily) by Drusus (who died campaiging i think he fell of his horse, his troops built a memorial, he like Germanicus was very popular with the legions) and Tiberius. Varus thought that the rebellion was only minor one needing only a show of force, which had worked for him in the past on one occasion in the middle east.
Also This took place in 9 AD, so if your claim is correct, it only took another few CENTURIES to defeat only the Western (weaker)half of the empire which had been in decline since at least the third century crisis, mostly due to internal weakness aka civil war)
The "Germans" where symptoms/effects of internals weakness, not the cause of them.
Rant over...
KingoftheGods123 the byzantine empires was collapsing since middle ages and they definitely weren't the most powerful force in europe, they kept losing territories to arabs and turks and constantinopol was plundered two times by the crusaders and russians, the roman empire was just destined to fall, it could not last, because of all the different ethnic groups it contained
Smrtnik
"often most powerful force in Europe".
The term often is pretty relative
And how well did that work out for you?
dude.. your micro is TERRIBLE
dude you dont even have a fcking video where we could see that yours is even worse.
Romans outnumbered Germans in reality. But still lost the battle.
This game is fake.
Hey Askar, let me clarify certain things. :)
In some cases the number doesn't matter, all that matter is the tactic you use to defeat your enemies, but number, never that much. And, in this video the battle was lost, only few men escaped, they escaped, they ran for their life, they didn't fight for it, they just ran, how can you call this a victory? :P
SergiuHellDragoonHQ Well, I am talking about historical battle, where romans lost.
Askar Turebekov
I lost here too. :)
Just saying, the Varus commanded three legions, spread out in one long slim line. Doesn't matter how many troops you've got, if you get ambushed from all sides you're going to lose. Varus himself commited suicide and the legions eagle standards were lost.
Joshua Print And after that happened emperor Augustus banged his head against the wall and yelled, Varus, give me back my legions, which is displayed in the intro.
This game is such a piece of shit
