With the more useless characters I used to just send them around killing rebels - Gratianus the Lily-Livered took on thousands of troops at a time with just his bodyguard, winning many glorious victories and often being one of the few men from his unit remaining, emerging from the throng of the battlefield covered in the blood of his enemies and even then on his death bed he still was considered a craven coward.
The futility of his life-long quest for redemption always made me slightly sad.
Brave Sir Gratianus ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Gratianus turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Gratianus!
Gratianus only general challenge- he can't use any other generals
But when they got snowed in they had to eat publius and his entourage of quite FRANKLy rubbish bards , needless to say who ate publius although he did scream when they chopped him up.
The fact is, that some people are just born to be losers... no matter what they actually accomplish in life...
Hey, have you guys played the Eastern Empire? The Western Empire does really well and only lost Lepsis Magna, at least in my current game. I am just thinking: how? How is that even possible? Is it because the AI is a cheating bastard?
“Oh man, I have nothing to watch on TH-cam”
*Jon’s new video pops up*
“God bless that glorious bastard”
Why not have total war mobile....
Those barbarians never stood a chance against us!
There's no reason to be dishonest, let's just be Frank about it.
nice joke my dudu
Nice cloak. I guess you will wear anything Berber-ey
Death comes to us all, victory comes only to men who face death with laughter in their souls.
Tiberius Brutus Oh my god the role players are here
where?
can we appreciate how, in total war lore, somewhere between the 4th century (this dlc) and the 11th century (Medieval 2), everyone forgot how to swim across a river
Because... the armor was heavier... Sure, that'll do.
@@ManyATrueNerd I'd prefer blaming the French lol
"France will never exist. It's a win-freaking-win!" Did Claire hear that?
Cult of Claire: Disapproves -20
Btw, are they dating or married? I never did figure that one out.
Bump
@@Alexthe360Great probably after that comment they are either not dating anymore or filing for a divorce lol.
*This is a joke, I don't wish their relationship to breakdown.*
"Alright, you're in position, now throw the pila!"
*Unit proceeds to casually walk the away from their target.*
Harry Timmons iirc the comitatenses had a coding where they wouldn't throw unless ordered to melee charge or set to "fire at will." when I was very young I assumed they were just so disciplined that they weren't gonna throw unless charging because training. But it could actually be a coding error.
Let me tell you about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!
Ok!
Might be a little bit after my time
Jesus Christ< The Great Vatinius
@@flynn659 Little known fact that Jesus Christ's middle name was Vatinius.
😂👍🏻
Hunters: ‘can swim’
I wanna see that! Haha
They can swim across rivers, extremely slowly. I was added in BI and it makes bridge battles a little less terrible.
Yep! Some particularly lightweight units are capable of swimming during river battles, and I believe they can also do it when you're fighting on the coast, albeit I've never tried that. For very obvious reasons, though, it's probably not your *first* plan due to the fact that if you attack them at all while they're climbing out of the damn water, they're pretty much boned.
Raiders can too. But they are on horse.
Those are some horses right there.
I always wondered why a large city like Carthage didn't have even the lowest level farm. Then I remembered, the Romans salted the fields. I think the game designers made that choice on purpose.
well its historical truth. Even today they don't have much harvest. So much so they have to export barley (which makes beer) to europe in order to order wheat based food in.
@@METALFREAK03 unless the Romans nuked the area, salting the earth will not make it infertile for 2 millenia. I think we are more observing the effects of climate change and mismanagement. If the area ever had great crop yield to begin with.
Spielmann deploy the bombus maximus
The province of Africa (Tunisia, East Algeria) was the breadbasket of the western Roman empire at that time.
Also cause of climate change (that would favor agriculture in northern Africa)
When the vandals conquered it (439 a. D.) managed to cut the main source of wheat that Rome had, inflicting one of the most serious hit to the WRE.
And started accumulating incredible wealth for theirselves, not sending anything to Rome anymore, until the Byzantines reconquered it. Still under the Arabs, that conquered it in the 7th century, it was a very wealthy province.
Loving this series, but...
STOP LETTING CAV CHARGE YOUR ARCHERS, JON.
WRE archers are good for nothing but distracting cavalry charges, unless they've got a *lot* of xp ;)
I am a simple man. I see Rome total war barbarian invasion. I click.
Also, First!
You were merely adopted by barbarian invasion; I was born to it, raised by it, molded by it.
Nostalgic Archives You are the great Julianis Vatinius
Thank you, even now from Space Rome the fire of civilization rises.
Maybe the hordes are bumbling
I never have that kind of luck in RTW or M2TW
I am of the opinion that Carthage should be destroyed.
Well played, Carthago delenda est
From my point of view the Carthaginians are evil
Salt the ground.
45:30
That might just be the most Roman thing I've ever heard xD
Preemptive retaliatory strikes!
Jon last episode:
*1/3 the empire revolts*
"Hey this isn't so bad for the start of the game"
Me, putting in RTWBI again for the first time in 3 months:
*2 cities revolt*
Hey Jon, I'm not sure if you know, but cities actually won't revolt at 70% public order.
Yeah, but they will riot, stuff gets broken, soldiers get killed, population dead- and Jon has enough money problems without that mess
@@Alexthe360Great not at 70%. You certainly have to keep an eye on settlements that are at 70% just in case they dip below 70%, because then all that stuff will happen. There won't be any rioting or civil revolts at 70% public order.
@@cobaltcat9536 You just contradicted yourself. So based on what you said, him managing the 70% means they won't revolt.
@@METALFREAK03 okay, what I said wasn't clear, and I apologize for that. At 70% public order, there will be no civil revolts or rioting. However, if the population grows during the end turn, there's a chance that the public order will dip to 65% or lower. Then, during the next turn' end turn phase, theres a chance for rioting and civil revolt. When I said he would have to keep an eye on those settlements, I meant that he needs to watch them to make sure they don't fall to less than 70% (65% and below) so that rioting and civil revolt don't have a chance of occurring. I hope that cleared things up. Sorry if what I said was confusing. Also, if you don't believe me, you can try it for yourself. In my experience, 70% public order has been the absolute lowest it can be to prevent rioting and civil revolt in both Rome 1 and Medieval 2.
Revisiting this series after some years. Still love hearing "vetenarii" instead of "veteranii"...
"He's now a murderer, which is great!" made me legit lol
To quote a great man: "La-dee-flippin-da!"
He has not had his eye on the hordes for a while unfortunately
“Then in the future France won’t exist - win flippin win” 😀
Love that suspicion of the Franks xD. They are standing next to their settlement, but are considered to be "dangorously just hanging around The border"
the Christains in his Empire are actually the Cult of Julianius Vantinius. I can just imagine. "Hello kind sir, can you spare a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Julianius Vantinius?"
Who is vantinius julianus????
I can see it. Green robes, shaved heads, and rocketship holy symbols
Jon's battle commentating is already fantastic - It's becomes even funnier on 1.5x speed.
57:08 "He's now a murderer. That's great."
Jon, 2019
Jon use Spurius Flavius night fighter ability!
I can absolutely imagine episode 47 being a 6-front war, with everything in the exact same place as it is now, except the armies are obviously better.
Jon! It's not a problem if the cities have 70% public order. The riots comes at 65% but you can easily keep the cities at check by right-clicking on the town tab. There you can sort the cities by public happiness and see if you can raise the tax in stable cities or lower the tax at unstable cities.
Thanks for another good video.
I had just finished watching the first two parts of this series back to back. Now I'm about to part three. All in one night. I see that as a very productive evening 😃
Anyone else hoping for a Celtic offensive on St. Patrick's Day?
This whole series is absolutely flippin marvelous
YAY! I love this series so far. And I have watched Jon enough to know that he will somehow pull it all off. Makes me happy.
everytime jonh plays total war im compelled to re install it and play only to realize how bad i am XD
Just do it... i spent months bashing my head into the defeat mines before it clicked, but it's such a great game that it's worth the pain for the eventual reward ;)
You played the enemy so skillfully!
It is so artistically done.
i know Jon said he will have a hard time and probably lose, but i still have faith in him, he managed to get out of horrible situations before, on games he knows more or less, this time, he's a shark in warm ocean waters, he knows the game. You can do it you magnificient eggbox! Julianus Vatinius would never give up.
you know from the end of the Rome series to this do I even want to know what events occurred to cause this?
I believe some guy name Gibbon wrote a book on the subject.
"Then, in the future, France will never exist so this is win-flipping-win!" But... Claire...
Even when it’s a bit boring (which it is sometimes) it’s miles better than watching a film. Ta.
I could be wrong but I think there are comitatenses at Syracuse, those troops are too good to be just used as garrison forces in a settle,met like that
Jon your playing the best games rn. You are just spoiling us.
Damn I would absolutely love to see a Franks game now their cities can grow to lvl 5 and now their units are better!
Such a fantastic and action-packed episode!
teehee literally just finished part 2. time to binge :D Love this series awesome work!
OH MY GOD, A THIRD ONE ALREADY? YES YES YES YES!
Those trees are huge. Like over 100 years old kind of huge
As Jon was going through his useless leaders looking for competence, I couldn't help but wonder it would have been better to leave them in revolting cities hoping they would die so the computer would give you "men of the hour" for going around mopping up rebels in hopes they would be something you could work with. High risk, but no higher than keeping generals that bad around...
I love these long form videos. Keep them up!
Okay I clearly forgot how wonky the pathing was inside settlements, because Jesus I’d rip my hair out from those Comitatenses refusing to throw their pila.
Numbers of general's heavy cav depends on influence.
Also, being faction leader and heir gives a bonus.
"The name Picts appears in written records from Late Antiquity to the 10th century, when they are thought to have merged with the Gaels."
Gaels = Celts, Picts = not Celts. 300AD = not 900AD. Although they're supposed to have lived on the north and east of Scotland and Del Raida is in the southwest.
I know I’m a few years late, but the best strategy I’ve found is still do scorched earth against the rebels, give up avaricum and carnuntum to rebels to act as a buffer (Salona is a VERY good city… 3 mines and a port as well as great defensible position), delete all units that are going to cost a ton… most of the cavalry and heavy infantry across the empire… and replace many with garrison troops like peasants. I know using peasants is a bit unrealistic, but they are literally the best garrison troop as their upkeep is only 50 gold a turn while archers (which are the next least expensive unit) cost 100. Border cities can be garrisoned with limitanei and archer hoards… yeah these troops are 100% defensive, but that is because you should be focused on building your economy up as soon as possible. This will let you make a super army in Rome that can do some expeditions through Germany and the lowlands.
Loving Jon taking on a challenge in a game he knows well!
RIP in peace Spirius Flavius we never got to see the role play accounts
I love all Total War games but I’m so trash at them so Jon is my gateway
I know that feel bro, I have no idea why I can't play them.
The Pope returns!
The Papal States rule!
*sees game*
Close enough!
...Careful...you are replaceable lolXD
You surely must be proud of Spurius Flavius, right? He was probably the one who inspired the whole idea of Papal States.
Instead of a forged Donation of Constantine giving them Rome, there will probably be a genuine Donation of Flavius giving them the Roman Empire
An hour's just not enough, love the series, can't wait for next episode
watching jon get angry at the AI is my favorite part of this series so far
never seen this channel before started watching last night and im loving it. I cant wait to see the horde.
the length of the videos too cant wait to see what you have in store for us this video.
really all i have to say is "proper levy spear men" is one of the best oxymorons i have heard recently
9:02 lmfao! "cack-handed". That doesn't mean what I think it does, does it? xD
Julianus Vatinius says Like this video!
0:50 Picts, Celts, Scotti.... I'm not sure what to call them. Pict, Latin, "the painted people beyond our borders". Celt, from Greek (Keltoi), "the foreigners", and it referred to people across north, west and central Europe. Scotti, from Latin, "the sea raiders up there". We could call them Dal Riata, but that kingdom wouldn't start until the 5th century, and RTW: BI starts in the 4th century.
I started playing medieval 3 when you did and at the time steam was saying Rome 1 wouldn’t work on my laptop but after this series started I wanted to play it so much I thought screw it and bought Rome on steam cos it was so cheap and it actually works! 😁 doing a brutii run now and after watching you I’m making so much more money then I ever had before. Trying my best to contain the other Romans but Julii are island hopping
I wish I could say "you stupid bastard" with such eloquence.
Hey Jon, lovely video as always! Isn't there a mod that makes the soldier sprites in the distant look better? Because every time you zoom out inside a battle, they have a considerably lower resolution. Anyways, keep up the good work you jolly good fella!
You're getting lucky at every turn, good for you Jon!
Pretty accurate reconstruction, all things considered.
sunday evening is secured. thanks!
Hey MATN might want to demolish the pagan-shrines in Syracuse and Vicus Alemani
There is no need for now, Syracuse will not spread paganism because it has no land border, and Vicus Alemanni is mostly pagan and would revolt if the religion was christian.
Can’t wait for Thursday, it will be an eventful day!
Jon, Sprurius Flavius has night fighter! You can attack the one Eastern Roman army and the other has no general so it can't join!
jeez jon u lost your total war touch remember the hit the horn when u charge your general so they dont get killed.. and cav in total war is op
The Picts and the game speaking Celts did integrate after a while so although it was unfactual, you also weren't wrong, exactly. Pitcs were the "painted People" very north of Scotland. gaelic speaking Celts were everywhere in Britain and irland bar England cause well *gestures at game map*
Nothing beats a nymph who knows history
Picture is a clue and there are no Celts
@@peterweaver6326 what picture?
Pict becomes the word picture, the painted ones
27:30 now thats what i call a Plebicide
Tis a good day indeed.
Jon they are the Picts it's just CA called them the celts for some reason
The picts controlled Ireland?
@@RRW359 when the fuck did I say the picts controlled Ireland?
Very much enjoying these videos. I may try out a WRE campaign on this game because of you.
Why did I have to find this at 12am when I have work tomorrow 😭
Did Barbarian Invasion keep the siege tower missiles that were in Rome 1? Cause then you could always position your tower in front of enemies on the walls, let it stay there and fire off all the ammo it has and then move the tower to the spot on the wall you wanted originally.
You know, why the hell do the celts have gallowglass in the 3rd century? Gallowglass was a norse-gael class outside of Gaelic society centuries later, known for mercenary adventure snd martial skill.
This is before the norse even exist as they did historically...
Hey Jon, I just want to let you know that you can rename cities in this game. The option is hidden by default, you can enable it in the ini. Once enabled you can rename cities just like in medieval 2. I also commented on the subreddit, I really want you to see this.
The rebel peasants had a general named odacer lol
JON! You spoil us.
960 peasants and 109 Raiders verses 61 Roman bois.
*Roman bois have a 50%> chance of winning.*
EDIT: 45:34 Also I see Jon's just as much of a spin artist as he was in the base game playthrough.
So I decided to have a playthrough of this along with yours to compare them. I've already defeated the Vandals. But I use the Darthmod so the AI is even smarter. What a tough campaign.
I mean, are there hordes? I recall waiting 30-40 parts for Medieval II hordes
Yes
Hey Jon, idk when you recorded this but horde-wise the Goths tend to head for Central Gaul and should be the first encountered horde unless the Huns or vandals take out one of the northern German factions.
I miss the Governor of Croton.
Flippin'
I like this series but victory is more or less assured at this point. I want to see some stress!
ABSOLUTELY F L I P P I N G
I’d love to see Jon try Rome 2 with the Divide et impera mod.
Are you sure the eastern roman empire isn't asking for some sugar
SWEEEEET! Keep it up dude.
Time for a pax romana
Hell no
And the introduction of the groat
Crosbows in the 4th century?????? WTF? That is at least 100 years too early!
Not according to Wikipedia
Hey Jon, I can’t seem to find the third civ6 livestream. I think I caught some of it live, but it’s not showing up on your channel for me now.
Jon, why don't you just night fight one of the armies outside Aquincum? It's probably safer to take on at least one of those armies in a one-on-one fight and then you could hide behind your walls for the next one.
I keep wanting to respond: "Shaken, not stirred."
If Carthage is too big cant you make the citizen troops and then move them away and disperse them to needed settlements?
Veteranii are statistically better than comitatensis.
