I love how you use mind tactics against your enemy both as a distraction and to de moralize them. Make them have a false sense of comfort before dismembering them and crushing their hopes and dreams. And when you play it feels like I'm watching a very elaborate chess game. It puts you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. Thanks for switching back to rome total war!
300 was lot better than 300 Rise of an Empire.
+Samuel Long oh yeah
true
I kinda liked rise of an empire. the actress eva green was hot
+Samuel Long That's what everybody says but whenever I go back to look at Rise of An Empire, it looks better and better each time. I still don't think it's quite as good as the first 300, but it's really good to me.
Agree
I really dont get it. You wrecked your cav for little gain and ended up cutting it close anyway by the end. Your troops were individually superiour to your enemies yet you still failed to make proper use of them. Your infantry was of little use to you throughout the entire battle. Hiding is all well and good but there are times where it is better to show your hand. drawing out the enemy infantry early would have allowed you to expose the archers to fresher cav instead of chewing them up early.
Killing off the enemy cav was good but you should have pulled back after that then pushed your infantry into the open. Cav superiority trumps archers everytime. Your infantry wasnt going to take much damage anyway from missile fire. Preserving your cav for later would have served you better and lended you a much easier win.
Yep your tactical vids are way...way....way superior.....Im sure your 145k subs agree oh and obviously POM is learning as i type.
??? You are the definiton of cringe, sir "XXlaffinGravyXX"
XXLaffinGravyXX Hear it here first folks, if you don't have 145 thousand subscribers then your opinion is worthless.
@@tomh4754 He probably is suggesting that if rant man was better at this game he’d have more subs here as his vids would he more entertaining. Not sure tho
rise of an empire is the kind of movie you watch once and then never again
like the phantom menace
Kevin Bruneel unless you just want to watch it for that sex scene.
exactly lol, i watched it again only for the sex scene.
Thats very true. The soundtrack is great though.
There's nothing more satisfying than watching a phalanx consume a formation of enemy infantry.
You're a master baiter dude
*He*'s back! Voldemort is BACK! - said while weeping over the corpse of PoM's fallen Greek general -
+Bleakunending love that series
+PrinceofMacedon
why you dont play rome 2 ?
d ont tell me find it suck ?
rome with patch 17 its even better than attila in all things exepct in fire effect and siege escalation effect!
and btw why you d ont play in attila too ?
Rome 1 is superior. Not to mention that there's no "Free For All" mode in Rome 2 and Attila
PrinceofMacedon
oh i see !
but the other TW youtubers make now videos aboot betamods like medieval 1212 or lord of the ring mod and do crazy online battle ! and they got so many veiws !
its just to take backe your place as best TW youtuber like before ! d ont think about the fun think about future tw warhaamer is also almost here !
if I did what other TH-camrs were doing, then then I wouldn't have been the first Total War commentary channel. I've always done my own thing. I don't follow the crowd. It's more about myself having fun, then trying to become popular again
I like all the Greeks, they seem very 'human' : brave but imperfect. But I especially love Xenophon.
Phyrrus Is My Favorite Greek Commander. He Stood Up To Rome Like A Champ And Got Some Profit. ( Even If He Killed Most Of His Men XD Phyrric Victory Was Made For A Reason. )
Im still wondering, was the whole harry potter thing meant to stop him from focusing on the battle? If so that is some master strategic tactic i gotta admit.
My favourite Ancient Greek commander is Konon the Athenian General. Loved the fight!
had no idea you could still play this online anymore...
Download on steam
+ＳＬＲ on Steam
+ＳＬＲ There aren't many players on it but you clearly can. TW has gone down the shitter tho and this was the best game they ever made (especially with the player-made mods).
Praetorian of course
+Praetorian What we need is TW Korea and the Empire of Kim Jong Il
My Favourite is 300 and leonidas 1st is my favourite general
+Maximus Foulston great choices
+PrinceofMacedon dude you are so cool you are a beast
Great video I'm surprised you didn't take out more if the archers early on with those charges. 300 was way better than 300 rise of an empire and my favorite Greek commander is Alexander the Great.
Can you keep using your previous enemy's army to fight the next battles?
This was awesome party Alex . Good job !
would have made a lot more since to engage his infantry and then use the cav to get archers that was stupid
fav greek commander Mithridates of Pontus
Neden ilk önce mağarayı kullandın ?
Julius caesar, and also the first 300, due to it being the only one I've seen.
+Doc Scratch (White Text Guy) sweet, although Caesar was Roman ;)
"hoooo is your favorite character" intentional pun?
+the knight that say nay! ohhhhh yeahhhh ;P
+PrinceofMacedon bring me another shrubbery which is a little taller than this one XD
Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2 is my favorite.
you shouldn't charge tired cav if you don't have to.
300 is better than 300 rise of an empire, in my opinion.
My Favourite is 300 and Julius Caesar is by far the best General Ever😀😀😀😀😀😀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
+Minifoulston Julius Caesar was not greek....
MY favorite greek commander is Leonidas and themithlokes (however you spell it #proatspelling) and 300 was the best over 300 rise of an empire
themistocles
my favorite greek comander is leonidos
rise of the empire sucks
I quit reading after the fourth book I think, it seemed really planned out the way the one guy died, like 'it's time for characters to die now because reasons'.
+Canucklug the books get so much better starting with Book 4
ya i like the 300 better
Excellent Battle PoM. you played good. my favorite greek commander would have to be Cleitus the Black, why: i like how he holds the center of the army in battle. and his senority. gg
Lol do you like arabesque music ?
whats glhf?
Its means goodluckhavefun
Gotta love the mechanics of the total war series especially the early ones.I once used just two militia hoplites in a city defense.The scipii attacked me and with their unit composition,they were supposed to win but I used my militia hoplites and put them in places where the enemy were more likely to come in.Since the AI is stupid meaning it just sends small number of units at me.The pointy end always does the trick.
True Ninjas wear white with bright red trim carrying big, shiny bronze shields. Total stealth.
+ThePoeticPariah indeeeed ;)
this game is still online? damn I thought the days were over. Those good days 3 years ago when the game was buzzing online
I was surprised too to see a lot of people in the lobbies today. it seems the older total wars have more people playing multiplayer than the newer ones
+Simon The Sinda ikr
You need to play Dota 2.. trust me
Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2 were the best ones in my view.
+Jasper Mandley I loved the book for "Goblet of Fire" and the movie for "Order of the Phoenix"
Never really liked Greek warfare.
I like the pre Marian roman warfare more, but the legionaries are good, if a little slow. I also can use horse archers and cataphracti, but I don't like the lack of infantry.
I was really hoping that when he asked if his acceptance letter was through, he'd then say "I'm able to magically make things appear!" and then take out all his hoplites and scare the shit out of him.
that manevour at 18.25 was incredible I was so impressed! amazing skill there
I agree with your Harry Potter opinions. The 1st and 2nd are the happiest.
+Pzkw V lol awesome :D
How can he tell just by looking at the troops that they’re gold gold?
Amount of small flags on them
The movie 300 was good, 300 Rise of an Empire was horrible.
+Guido's How-to's "horrible" is a strong word
+PrinceofMacedon A strong word it deserves in my opinion, it was pretty bad :)
Enjoying your daily RTW uploads by the way. Oh, and I have a request army. Can you do an army without any cav and max 4 skirmish units? That'll mean you have to heavily rely on your infantry to win.
XD I thought you said "Sorry, I'm having a Cigarette right now guys" at first!
how are you finding opponents on rome 1? i went on today and there was only 2 afk people online
+jacob griffiths log on at a different time
gj why no backspace to make them pull out their spears?
+RV zer0 I get lazy sometimes ;)
Do you think you'll ever play with an all cav army
300 definitely
300 was better, and I don't really know many greek commanders. Well, if you count the Carthage as Greek, then Hannibal Barca :P
alexander the great, filip v, leonidas, pericles, ptolemaios viii (egyptian pharaoh but ethnic greek), Zenon of Massilia etc etc etc
also the dude who commanded at marathon battle and then scared the shit out of another persian armie
I love you'rs battles
m 5 minutes in, theres no way im watching 20 minutes of this! let me how it ends
promises and 300
Favourite Greek Commander? Gotta be Alcibiades if for nothing else other than his charisma
+Max Roe Banks he was definitely an adventurer lol
I imagine up until his ostracism had "I just can't wait to be king" playing through his head
Pre-Marian, nice to see something different.
+Foxhunter XI I've used that a few times (the first one to make videos for multiplayer pre-marian roman battles) ^_^
300 was better and I choose Alexander as my favorite Greek gen even knowing he was Macedonian . And that player must've been like oh damn when he saw your hidden troops
The Macedonians were of greek culture so it counts and lots of histories call him a greek
+GeneralSantucci1st duh Alexander was not Greek? O M G
+GeneralSantucci1st great choices ;)
Makedon is the northern greek province in which lies pella where Alexander was born in greece. Not to be confused with FYROM which is slavic
Macedonia was a Greek kingdom in ancient times and has nothing to do with the current ex-Yugoslavian state north of Greece.
Well played sir.
Man you have been undefeated for soo long now on rtw lol
+Peypey Abbas it's been awhile ;)
This still exists?
Liked how you tried to distract him with the Harry Potter talk .
if you were commanding the Romans, what do you think you would have done in this situation?
Me personally, I would've made as small a square as possible, put fire arrows on, and keep triarii and equites in reserve to counter any charges. I'd keep one archer from firing for the hoplites.
I'd form a small squarewith the Triarii and principes mutually supporting each other, with the archers in the middle, not firing. The cav can dash themselves to death on the Triarii, then I could space into a battle line to counter the phalanx with my archers.
Alternatively, I could have made a front line of principes with the archers behind them and covered by principes at the front flanks, and had a couple of Triarii behind the front principes, and the rest covering the sides. The principes would be ready to fight with the Triarii ready to defend against cav, while the archers are ready to shoot at the phalanx.
Another strategy would be the above method, but with the Triarii forming screens instead of staying with the formation, but they'd have to stay close or they'd be flanked.
You sick alot
A tragic comedy, the lament of Owly!
Lol, love the random Harry Potter question haha.
+BlackHawk Strategy lol random is my strength
Yeah 300 was the best
+Lead Destruction fun movie :D
Rule the Greeks, you do them proud my prince.
How is he able to play the game ? i have terrible lag when i play on mylaptop through Steam
Use a desktop, then.
windows 10 ?
Just out of interest, how did routing work when it actually happened in battles? What I mean is, did units actually rout and then maybe return to the field to die a glorious death in battle instead or did they just run away hoping not to get caught/ killed etc? Just wondered if youd read any strange history on routing units lol
+Adam2kk35 routing was typically a disaster for armies. Most of their casualties happened during that phase. Armies without major cavalry arms had a harder time doing it. But then you had armies like Alexander's whose cavalry was pretty excellent. In one instance, he spent almost an entire night chasing the routing Scythians (he eventually gave up because had drunk some bad water beforehand). Sometimes, routing armies could be rallied back into fighting for the cause. And then you had more experienced troops (like the Silver Shields) who could rout in an organized manner (still fighting off the enemy)
Those different points make a lot of sense haha The organised rout seems a lot more logical to me, why armies woldn't have had that in place idk
+Adam2kk35 I'm guessing because those troops are disciplined enough to be able to perform a controlled retreat, while less disciplined troops flee in more of a panic
Love your avatar name in this game. :D
leonides
300 more then the rise didn't like the ship theme ;)
"he catapulted his life" i'm dying
Fave greek commander: Seleucus I Nicator. An underrated bad-ass!
mine is Pyrrhus of Epirus because he could have taken Rome if he truly wanted to and change the course of history
Epimanondas. The master of leuctra
Wtf is all this? ALEXANDER ALL THE WAY!
Kinda reminds me on playing against an AI :p
Your amazing man keep it up! I can never find a game but watching you is better!
+iPuRe Gaming thanks for watching the battles, man :0
Can you use Egypt? Please
+jackson spencer I've used Egypt a lot of times in my videos, man
I thought Spartans hoplites are better than armored hoplites.
+Samuel Long
for the greeks: militia hoplites < hoplites < armored hoplites < spartans
+RV zer0
but the value of armored hoplites are better for the money and gold/gold armored hoplites should beat spartans.
+Samuel Long not for the money
Alexander the great of Macedon and king Pyrrhus of Epirus are my favorite ancient Hellenistic generals.
I think it's really interesting that Hannibal ranked Pyrrhus second to Alexander as a general when so few people now think of them as equals.
I like Epaminondas, the Theban who crushed the Spartans with an echelon attack that was possibly the first time it was used by a Greek.
+Samuel Long nice :)
Cos one was great and one left an awesome quote
+Sparkindark ?
+Rahul Setagumpatum Some of the greatest Generals and military commanders in history were defeated, Look at Hannibal barca even though he was defeated at some of his battles he is still remembered as one of the greatest commanders of his age.
so why dont you play the new titles?
if you dont like them try shogun 2
+Ahmed Abdolghani I'm very confused...I've already played all of the new Total War games. Have you not seen me playing them? I only recently switched back to Rome 1 (because it's BY FAR the best Total War game). Not sure why I'm not allowed to play my favorite Total War game
+PrinceofMacedon sorry man didn't visit the channel for a wail and i saw a bunch of rome 1 videos
i just noticed all the other titles you've been playing just after i posted the comment so am very sorry
i promise it won't happen again
+PrinceofMacedon but to be honest rome 1 is great and great video man
how do you pop up the yellow formation areas for the troops after you give them the order
spacebar
300
300 spartens
Can u use berserkers again
+Lead Destruction someday
Macedonians weren't greeks !
They are. Learn some history.
Don't worry Blue jealousy is a normal human emotion we understand, but you also have to restrain yourself a bit, no need to go butt hurt :)
whats that music?
+Jarl .Sterling I forgot the name of it, but it's some random Greek music I found on the AudioMicro Library
3rd like and comment, Nice vid POM
+MarkDaBoss good job ;) and thanks
Hoooodini

+UdderMilkMan good job, but you're 2ndd lol and I'm online at random times
+PrinceofMacedon wut
300
it had more action u know
awesome
+pvtwilletusarmy thanks ;)
Cav is too powerful
+Miratesus people just don't know how to counter cav, in a poor engagement cav drop like flies
+jacob griffiths I say the best strategy for cav is too charge a unit then pull away cuz they can't brawl with other units
***** Cav is just too effective in total war games, Especialy Rome 1.
Miratesus cav was powerful in real life as are phalanx's from the front, getting hit by roman pila and getting shot in the arse by archers
***** cav was almost useless before the formations were broken up.
