Pyrrhus entering the Argos still had war elephants. Unfortunately, they caused more trouble than use. First, they delayed the entry of troops into the city, because they did not fit in the gate. Soldiers had to remove their towers, then reassembled them after passing through the gate. During a chaotic night fight in the streets of Argos, Pyrrhus realized that he had no chance to take the city and had to retreat. But the gate was blocked by the body of a dead elephant. Pyrrhus sent a messenger to his son, who was part of their forces outside the city, to tear a fragment of walls down and enable evacuation. Unfortunately, the king's son misunderstood the order and at the head of the troops marched into the town through another gate, increased general chaos. Seeing the hopelessness of the situation, Pyrrhus decided to get out of the city alone, riding through the crowds of fighters. According to ancient historians, paving his way, he killed a local soldier. This was witnessed by the mother of the victim who threw a tile from the window, hitting Pyrrhus in the head and depriving him of consciousness. The unconscious king was severed by a Gallic mercenary. This was the end of Alexander the Great's cousin, the best commander of his time and the only hellenistic ruler who defeated the roman legions.
Nice video, loved the intro into the start of the battle giving us all the facts and then watching the battle get carried out was very entertaining. Would love to see more.
Yes, Alexander the Great is from the Argead dynasty of Kings of Macedon, The Argeads are from the Greek city of Argos. Maybe you should learn your history better
A11osaurus you have to hand it to the warriors that stand their ground against them though. If i was watching ranks of war elephants charging towards me i dont know if i could hold out. The freaking ground would be shaking from the stampede. I would run.
In a war thats inside your city you better believe id pick up a spear if i was a woman. Id rather die fighting than getting raped too death by multiple men
I love this little battle here. I just don't get why they made the Spartan shields smaller, or why the game never has the shields loncked in place like an actual phalanx
Why didn't he support the elephant attack with infantry? Also why did he just have basic infantry and not the Macedon style phalanx and cavalry he used against Rome?
You personally helped nobody doing anything during that time. Your ancestors maybe, but I don't like to see people that pride themselves with deeds done by people 2500 years ago. A big problem, especially among the modern Persians AND Greeks. Do something glorious yourself which you can be proud of. Both Greece and Iran have massive other problems which they should deal with nowadays instead of living in the past. And this is coming from a history nerd. I don't have a problem with Persians. I actually admire them and their rich history and culture. And for the record: The Achaemenid Empire fell first.
this is one of the Fiercest battle fought between the Roman Empire against the Spartans and eventually led to the Conquer of Sparta in 265AD and Not in 272BC and during the Reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian.
I just finished reading The story of pyrhus, outstanding man. Considered The Best general by hanibal and The only one who could be compared With Alexander by the greeks.
There is no such thing as "defenceless Sparta". It kinda sucks to be Pyrrhus ( sry I had to ). As always great video. That music really got me back to RTW1. Thanks man.
Sparta became something of a tourist location because of the overridiculous training from birth regime and brutality. It finally got destroyed with the barbarian invasions
In the old RTW, I enjoyed playing the Extended Greek Mod (XGM) which now seems to be unavailable. One of my favorite parts of that was to sink Pyrrhus' army after defeating them while on land. I'd like to play the XGM again but it seems unavailable after steam came into the equation.
I was thinking about this battle before, there is mod for Attila, "Medieval Kingdoms"perfect for this and Im sure I will made this battle, but not sure when
Spartan is the most powerful and strongest empire in Greeks. They will put their lives to protect their empire and they will never surrender Fight for Death
Crazy Fact... there was actually was a time in history where the Spartans did in did surrender in battle. If i remember correctly i think it was to Athens... I will have to double check on that though, but they did surrender rather than being wiped out.
You made a good choice using music from the first Rome. So much more epic; I've got nothing against Rome 2's soundtrack, but it doesn't have the same feel as that of earlier games.
Some historians also relate the term pyrrhic victory to being a mathematical victory, due to pyrrhic being related to the measurement of "foot" in modern measurement. Therefore, a pyrrhic victory is a battle in which each side trades man-for-man
I destroyed nabatea in a batle with 2K sparta pikemen vs 5K on them they were attacking my city I use 3 narrow roads and positioned by pikes there and they cant get in I have the save biut I dont know how to share it hahaha it was amazing to see
@@theobvu lol my 1 pikmen unit was able to hold off entire Parthian army at river bridge while my cavalry & missile units enveloped the enemy from the other side.
Cool video. Although I'd like to point out that Sparta did not have a macedonian-style phalanx by that time, not until the military reforms of Cleomenus in the years 227-222 BC. Very beautiful video nonetheless, although what made this spartan victory so surprising was the apparently outdated formation of compact, heavy hoplite infantry with short spears against the sarissa-phalangitai.
Have you see anything worse than getting stabbed? Yes What? You getting YEETED across a quarter of the battlefield hitting the ground and bonking your head 3 times and the enemy army aproaching you with no weapon and your town almost getting destroyed
Is that the music from Rome Total War 1? Man that brings back memories. First Total War game I ever played. Maybe I should hunt it down for old time's sake. :)
Pyrrhus of Epirus the great general of ancient times, they were the Pelasgians-Illyrian tribes the biggest fighters in ancient history, Epirus was the homeland of Achilles, Pyrrhus, and the mother of Alexander the great of Macedonians
my favorite movie is to pull what (i believe) Hannibal did to the romans, i make a box formation and wait for the enemy to hit me from the front, then swing the sides of the box out around the flanks of the enemy, then bring in my cavalry from behind and smash them in the back and box them in, that has to be the best move in the game, literally the only time it fails is if 1. you have no cavalry, 2. the enemy has ballistic weapons, and 3. has you outnumbered 3 to 1, but in those cases, i usually retreat to the far corner of the battle field and wedge my men in hat corner, it is kinda a cheap tactic since the enemy forces cannot move past the boundary lines, so it is impossible to flank me...i call it "making the thermopylae"

Rome Total War. It wasn't Total War (name) before Rome 2
It's what I said.
Yes it was, Total War coming before the title Started with Shogun 2
Ezequiel Almada Medieval 2 has something to say about that
I love how they hold their shields up against the catapult rocks.

I'm glad someone knows and understands the cinematics and realistic portrayal of ancient battles. Thank you my friend, keep up the great work.
This sounds like the same voice actor from Rome 1's historical battles. I'm loving it.
Cause it is
Nice video, loved the intro into the start of the battle giving us all the facts and then watching the battle get carried out was very entertaining. Would love to see more.
Thank you, will be more, don't worry ;)
Death by falling brick. RIP man... great video :)
I guess you could say he got a bit too stoned
As Greeks that was ALWAYS our biggest problem, fighting each other.
Yeah, and its still your biggest problem today
Pyrrhus was not greek my friend he was illyrian from the tribe of molos located in epirus.
Wrong Pyrrhus was Greek, and so were the Molossians. He was of the House Aecid, and second cousin to Alexander the Great.
mxviii ok and pls tell me now that alexander was greek too...
Yes, Alexander the Great is from the Argead dynasty of Kings of Macedon, The Argeads are from the Greek city of Argos. Maybe you should learn your history better
Epic what else!! gg awesome work :)

Rip elephants 😩
A11osaurus you have to hand it to the warriors that stand their ground against them though. If i was watching ranks of war elephants charging towards me i dont know if i could hold out. The freaking ground would be shaking from the stampede. I would run.
I always get rekt in rome 2: Total War when i fight the elephants.
magmaspartan the greatest soldier I know against elephants is phalanx.
No Cusi because i tried phalanx too, when i was spartan its better to use Archers or maybe slingers
I like Elephants. their babies are cute
Did they just charge elephants straight into a phalanx 🤦♀️
I guess it was the bot playing, I hope so xD
After update elephabt can destroy phalanx
King Porus in Alexander did. Good movie too. :)
It's only a fiction and a bad one.
@Hendra Gunawan "elephabt"
Poor elephants they didn't deserve that😭😢
DawsonBeep Gaming or some of the soldiers who forced to fight 🤷🏼♂️
What maniac sends elephants into a pike line anyway
And the horses?
The poor people the elephants trampled and crushed didn't deserve that
DawsonBeep Gaming then why send them to war then lool
when players realise elephants aren't immune to skirmishers 4:11
supposedly there were spartan women in the defence
spartan wahmen
Achilles Trojan Maby...they were train to be the last defence of Sparta in case of invasion so it is possible
In a war thats inside your city you better believe id pick up a spear if i was a woman. Id rather die fighting than getting raped too death by multiple men
I dunno it might be nice to meet a man who's actually interested in women for once Hahaha
The tile that striked Pyrrhus on the head was thrown by an old lady while she was on the roof of her house.
Loved this historical battle in rome 1, was like an ancient stalingrad as you slowly fed your troops into the meat grinder
Only difference is,the USSR could afford their losses but Pyrhus couldn't.
@@maiorian4668 I suppose he had more in common with the Germans in that case, I mean they *did* take most city, for all the good it did them.
A well put cimematic that was a pleasure to watch. Thank you very much for sharing this good thing with us.
Thank you very much!
This Battle took place in 272BC in Hellenic Times as recorded in Greek Historical since the Battle of Marathon.
that tile was thrown by the mother of the a soldier who was fighting face to face with pyrrhus
"Mother, help me!"
It was a slipper she thru not a roof tile 🤣🤣

those are pikemen not hoplites, they have smaller shields and pikes instead of large bronze shields and lances
Great job on this

Japaneses did a such awesome beautiful work in the whole series of Total War! It feels almost being there for real.
magnifique super travaille, bon courage pour la suite !!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff. Thanks for tuning up my evenings
Poor Elephants. Gotta feel bad for all the animals that were forced to fight like this in the ancient world. They are the real unsung heroes.
True.
Poor Pyrrhus... Such a great, but unlucky commander.
Pyruss retreated to Argos so he could order a new army, but naturally he forgot his order ticket and couldn't redeem it
Bravo nice video!!!
Spartan men with bows?
Must be Peliokoi or Helots units
I heard the Spartans laughed at the Persians for using them. They considered bows as weapons for women :D
Charles Cortez i guess it is javelin.
How did it end them? The Greeks defeated the Persians at Salamis and Platea.
You personally helped nobody doing anything during that time. Your ancestors maybe, but I don't like to see people that pride themselves with deeds done by people 2500 years ago.

very good video. but how did you get the general outside of his bodyguard unit
Pyrrhus was killed by a woman who threw a large stone on his head, from her balcony
Hahaha
@@hayatokisaragi989 true story lol 🤣
*Roof tile.
I forgot her son's name but her son died battling against Epirots. I could see why she was so upset
Would Pyrrhus invade Persia and India if he wasn't killed? What are your thoughts?
Probably not. He was tactically gifted but his campaigns could be described as a bad case of adhd.
Awesome job. I loved it.
5:49 Sparta had no walls. Its warriors were its walls.
Very Nice!!!
lesson: Don't attack Sparta without proper understanding of the enemy
lesson: never attack Sparta
I just finished reading The story of pyrhus, outstanding man. Considered The Best general by hanibal and The only one who could be compared With Alexander by the greeks.
Perhaps, but I think Antiochos III. was also a quite excellent tactician.
Cezar B well Hannibal was an absolute idiot so I wouldn’t consider his opinion very relevant.
The Romans used his own elephants against him to destroy him at Magnesia. I shudder at such a debacle that battle was.
Problem with Pyrhhus is he never could finish his goals. He always gave up and ran off to do something else.
They were relatives grandmother of Pyrhus was sister with Olympiada mother of Alexander the Great!!!
There is no such thing as "defenceless Sparta". It kinda sucks to be Pyrrhus ( sry I had to ).
As always great video. That music really got me back to RTW1. Thanks man.
There was a defenceless sparta when it knelt before Rome.
oof
@@TheLacedaemonian so...they lost
Sparta became something of a tourist location because of the overridiculous training from birth regime and brutality.
It finally got destroyed with the barbarian invasions
Defenceless Sparta was ignored by Macedonia and Conquered by Rome

Have the elephants always had those killing animations or is it a mod? Also how do you get the general unit?
