Total war games were one of my most favorite games as a kid. Recently start playing again and your videos really pulled me to a total different level in the game. I can now play campaigns on VH and actually winning the campaign. Your let's play campaigns are really helpful and giving me a lot more insight in the game. Thanks, you are a legend !
That sitting on your ass and taking it slowly (turtling) is not a great idea. In earlier total wars anyway. Or that it is a great idea to think everything through and to not make hasty decisions. Shit like that.
Yeah, for example, I always used to sent infantry into the breach or straight on the walls before I found Legend's channel. Watching him, I figured out, that it's way better to shoot defenders down first.
I know this is an old comment, but in the context of ancient warfare it sort of makes sense: cavalry was designed to (mostly) run down routing enemy units and as a fear factor against enemy infantry, wich the Aechemenid Persians used to great effect during their conquests. Just imagine a bunch of horses running at you with spears, only a well trained unit would be able to resist such an attack, and well drilled units were obviously key for both Phillip's and Alexander's conquests. Of course, it doesn't excuse awful AI :p
Well for one thing screw you and two It's a proven fact. Horses naturally will not charge into a static line. The only way to make them is to apply blinders to them and even then it's not guaranteed they will commit fully.
@@randomname2159 So that's 5 more happy people as that is probably the max amount of people playing this mod What I am saying is that games should come out fleshed out & mods should enrich the game, not polish it.
The way you like your troops/cards to be displayed in the battle hud is identical to how I like to group them. Leader/cavalry, missiles, infantry. Don't know why, but that detail made me smile and I had to point it out. I totally take responsibility for the uselessness of my comment XD Good fun watching this stuff. Well done.
I've been in a pretty fucking rough place recently. Watching your campaigns has made me laugh when I didn't feel like it, soothed my anxiety, enabled me to think passively on what's been ailing me, and taught me a fuck-ton about Total War, which I've been playing on-and-off for years - usually on medium difficulty 'cause I'm a little bitch. Thanks, man.
If you want to capture the whole map you should take one victory condition settlement (like Bactria) last or the game will end when you get the victory settlements.Leave just one unconquered until you get the rest of the map.
so it's been over 10 yrs since i Alexandered, but didn't the map originally star with sparta belonging to Greece? that's why it's mentioned in the intro...
In case you fancy the actual quote "When Alexander heard Anaxarchos speaking about an infinity of universes, he wept. His friends asked what was wrong. He said, ‘Isn’t it worth weeping if there are infinite universes, and we haven’t yet become the masters of even one?’"
In the beginning you could split alexander's force up to bolster the force without the general. This allows you to have the numbers to easily defeat both barbarians.
I like all these games from the first series.(Pre Rome Two) In my view Medieval 2 plus Kingdoms is the best. You have the option of trying to please the Pope who may reward you with anything from money to a few better units and you get more voting power for the next Pope. You can use priest, bishops ect to try heretics for Hersey, your princesses can be used as Diplomats, and you can have little merchant squabbles between merchants to try to run them out of business (seize assets) and you can try to gain a monopoly on key resources on the main map. and of course you get spies and assassins. Their is so much to do between each turn it's time consuming in an awesome way. I always like trying to nurture an assassin to his full potential but alas one of my best had a 95% success rate but I got him killed while playing around. I tried to assassinate a rebel captain. He wasn't even a general. :( He had killed princesses, allied merchants and priest lol >:) I guess my main gripe with Rome Two is it felt like it was stuck in Arcade mode and the battles were to fast.
azim iskandar not exactly mate a war elephant would have most likely charged through the spear wall Alexander would have had to employ tactics that would counter an elephant charge all together most likely using fire as the primary counter weapon I own a normal length Greek phalanx spear from around those times and the spears weren't anywhere near as long as represented in this game. A phalanx countered cavalry because it was a static wall of spears which were not much taller than a man the men didn't sit there and let the cav run into the phalanx they would have had to step out a small bit and stabbed either the rider or the horse the reach given by the spear was the advantage in a real phalanx elephants would have just stampeded on through the phalanx however the use of flaming arrows and riders sent ahead with flaming torches would have scared the elephants and the Persians would have lost control of the elephants. Hence spear phalanx were the INFANTRY core of the Greek/Macedonian army but it was useless against elephants which also proceeds to suggest that Alexander utilised Cavalry over his infantry in battle because they would have been purely the better choice fighting an empire that was desert-based
The sarissa or sarisa (Greek: σάρισα) was a long spear or pike about 4-6 metres (13-20 ft) in length. It was introduced by Philip II of Macedon and was used in his Macedonian phalanxes as a replacement for the earlier dory, which was considerably shorter.
I played with the desc_strat file for this game back in 2005 and changed it such that I could play as the Illyrians. Alexander's Macedonian army attacked me on a mountainside and I managed to kill him in a rear-end charge and win the battle with just a few archers to spare.... ....and then after the loading screen it said I had lost the campaign and I had to return to the start menu.
immigrantmale If Alexander dies its game over,no mattes which factions u play as.,unless u tinker the objectives or if you manage to get lucky and take the last city with alexander in it,which is unlikely considering he such a rush b.
"If we win we'd get a general because I think we would" I talk like this too. It's just like, "if you didn't know where I was going in the first half of the sentence than fuck off."
I really like this certain voice actor throughout the series, he is very dramatic and he speaks for several factions. One of them was for the Scottish and he says THESE PEOPLE NOW KNEEL TO US MY LORD!" or something like that. And if you are on opposite sides and click the Scottish he eventually says something like "All your women and lands will belong to us soon enough!"
You're a real master in this game! You made in 3 turns what I made ( worse) in 50.....The strange thing is that the settlements without a general to rule them you can handle anyway, my ones go in automatic ....
When i play this i always incite a revolt in Sparta and then exterminate the populace, the income becomes positive as does the public order. Just incase anybody was having trouble with it.
I think you could've saved quite some units in the first battle at the ford. Staying out of range of the bowmen initially was clever, but you shouldve made them waste their arrows on those useless javeline throwers or expose some of the weaker infantry on that flank + keep your ranks in order.
Just started watching your videos and they are so simple but great. Also you really learn Tw tactics and strategies. Much better IMO than that Lionheart guy, you deserve more subs. Maybe it's because you play like your playing alone instead of playing for an audience. Keep the Job going, I would really like to see you enter in Truimph in the Mythical city of Babylon.
Pike men Pike men Pike men. a whole fucking cluster of pikes... seems he's doing it to entertain his viewers by getting pissed off from failing Ai pike in huge unit scale.
Bored of RTW... loaded this up.. first battle, sent in a factory-fresh 27 heavy cav unit to harrass a thracian light cav unit trying to provoke their army. They routed MY guys and weren't even half-dead. On medium difficulty.. Exited game. Uninstalled.
Been playing total war games for ages. Got shogun 1 as a Xmas present on sheer luck when it first came out. However Rome and Rome 2 I just never bought or really did any research. I'm obviously going to be checking both Rome campaigns you have to make my own opinions but I just like some banter on which is more enjoyable
bruh i just noticed ROME 1 had cavalry run over flat routing units if you right click passed them and not attack/charge ... but does that only happen to light missile units?
Daniel Balderrama he didn't take them all by war IRL he basically annexed the Persian empire after killing Darius III in battle but as we know that's not how Rome Total War works because there is no Annexing/capitulating mechanic
No conqueror in history had to violently take even the smallest damn village in a certain territory in order to conquer it. Neither Alexander had to nor Caesar, Hannibal, Ghenghis Khan, Napoleon etc. Conquering means, to bring a specific region under your control by marching in with an army and to garrison its most important administration centers.
Are there any other youtubers like Legend? Someone that doesn't act like a fuckin idiot, has a good voice, doesn't fuck around, plays games at a very high level. They don't have to be a total war youtuber, I'd rather they play strategy/rpg style games though.
Dilapidated Dinosaur never really been a big fan of roman games. But i am a big fan of alexander the great. So can you install alexander total war without having rome total war installed as well?
CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I'm on Windows 10 and recently bought rome total war. BUT, I think the game is poorly optimised as I put everything on the lowest with the smallest troop numbers but it still runs under 20 FPS... I can run Medieval 2 on high with large troop numbers but not Rome! Help!
Alex Visser I think u must tinker with ur driver settings,especcialy if u run nvidia like i am. Try also Changing compatibily settings in properties or even download a few mods that could fix the fps drop if there are any.
Fuck the music, map and voices make me want to play Rome Total War again. But the bloody romans and egyptians!! If you leave them alone those four factions conquer the world. :S
What happens when you retrain a unit? That if a cavallery unit of 108 after a battle has 49 left, after retrain will be again 108? Seems not, and so what's the use of retraining units?
It depends on the facilities in a settlement. If it has the ability to make the same unit, it will replenish the numbers. However, if you do not have that BUT have an armoury, you reequip the troops with better weapons and armour
I started the campain now, bur Sparta is losing 3000 gold...so you run out of money very fast....it toke 30 turns to get my finances ok, but it sems impossible con conquer 30 provinces ( is that the target?) in 100 turns....
legend can you play europa barbarorum mod as rome and do everything historicaly, for example start first punic war in 264 bc and finish in 242 bc, i found that very enjoyable and i think you will find too
Last Goals He has an EB campaign running right now, so he will not play another while it is running. Even when it is finished he probably won't play another because of how long the campaign is and the views on his current EB campaign are not very good. Maybe he would be open to just playing a specific part of the campaign like you mentioned, but it still wouldn't be for awhile.
But Alexander never conquered all of Persia by war he conquered Asia Minor and beat Darius III in battle then the rest of Persia surrendered and Alexander ruled for a time until it broke when he died into The Seleucid Empire, Egypt and Macedon, the Seleucid Empire being basically the new Persian Empire
in school we learned that the last battle was against the indians in the the border of india.The battle is called the battle of idaspi( ithink it ishydaspes in english. after that the soldiers demanded to return home and the campaign stopped.The batlle happened on 326 bc
+End my Cancerous Existence In fact, Alexander had to battle his way all the way down to Issus in Syria, then to the siege of Tyre until the Egyptians welcomed him as liberator and proclaimed him Pharaoh. But the Persians had not capitulated. Darius sent Alexander a letter promising him riches and satrapies in Asia Minor if he withdrew back to Greece. Alexander responded telling him that he will fight and chase him till the ends of the Earth and the major engagement happened at Gaugamela in Mesopotamia, but it wasn't over, since Darius fled along with his satrap and commander Bessus to Bactria. Alexander chased them and he faced little resistance east of Tigris River. Bessus however murdered the Persian King and proclaimed himself King Artaxerxes V and organised resistance in Bactria. The Macedonians had to fight yet again in the eastern provinces and had even fought the Scythians near Syr Darya River (or Jaxartes) then happened the battle of Hydaspes against Porus of India as mentioned above, so the campaign was far from peaceful after the defeat of the main Persian force. PS sorry for the giant comment, I didn't mean to lecture you neither I am a history student :)
he did in fact have to fight many sieges and skirmishes after issus and gaugamela. tyre, gaza, the perisan gates, the uxian defile, bactria, 2 years alone fighting a guerilla war in sogdiana, scythia and then india.

Your let's play campaigns are really helpful and giving me a lot more insight in the game. Thanks, you are a legend !
I agree, Legend's gameplay is a complete eye opener. Shit I never recognized before I see now - it was literally under my nose.
its good and bad, now you always win and its too easy
just asking... what did u learn? I play the same as him so idk
That sitting on your ass and taking it slowly (turtling) is not a great idea. In earlier total wars anyway.

It would never happen. Horses will not charge a static line.

46:00 the Persian generals name is Captain Arses
YES STRATIGOS

When I was an kid I used to think he was saying "Yes Straty Horse!"
SIR!
TH-cam subtitles say : "yes stay off" XD
ok
I always thought Alexander was buggy as shit and the world map looks like it was drawn with MS Paint lol
That's just the rome total war map
not at all, just look up pictures, Greece for example looks a lot better, here its comically bad
@@iamspartanss300 Lerk! It's Sperterrr! It's so bad, looks like Crimea!
Spartanss300 honestly the map itself is in line with maps from the Greeks at the time
even anatolia in base game has more details and more accurate even tho it is much more smaller. Then I saw Peloponnese peninsula. Wtf

Fucking brilliant!
Haha, I was just about to write that
LMAO
This isn't even in my typical range of humor and I guffawed. Well played.
Well alexander was gay soooooo
I kind of wish this campaign had a lot more turns per year and far more settlements and a larger and more detailed map.
Late,but: darthmod has this
@@randomname2159 So that's 5 more happy people as that is probably the max amount of people playing this mod

He has completed this campaign probably a long time ago.
Mrzywiec actually this is his first time
no I mean that he recorded this particular campaign prolly a few months back and is uploading it to youtube now so any advice is pointless.
Daniel Balderrama the whole campaign is pre-recorded
Mrzywiec ok
Wonderful! This is the single vanilla campaign that I have never played, hating such stringent time limits and all. >.>

YUCK.
This is easy!!!!!! The trick part is the 2nd Macedonian Civil War!
so it's been over 10 yrs since i Alexandered, but didn't the map originally star with sparta belonging to Greece? that's why it's mentioned in the intro...
One of the few who actually like this game
What a kickass video to release on my birthday, thanks legend!
Boy, i love Brian Blessed, his voice as narrator is so great.
That being said, as a noob player i dreamt of someone completing this alexander campaign! Pretty thankful to you, Legend.
When Legend saw the breadth of his domain he wept for there were no more campaigns to conquer
In case you fancy the actual quote
"When Alexander heard Anaxarchos speaking about an infinity of universes, he wept. His friends asked what was wrong. He said, ‘Isn’t it worth weeping if there are infinite universes, and we haven’t yet become the masters of even one?’"
OMG!!! the narrator is BRIAN BLESSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GORDON'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!
DIIVVEEE!!!
This is one of the best total war games
In the beginning you could split alexander's force up to bolster the force without the general. This allows you to have the numbers to easily defeat both barbarians.
Even after all these years rome1 has a special charm to it
“We’re not winning...that’s okay.”

Tactical genius just ram your cav into the enemy to they route I love total war games 😂
well thanks to the moral system sometimes units will retreat easily
" I hate pikemen" plays Macedon 4:52 lol
In this campaign you can't play other faction :P !
andr33aaa1 unless you enable them in the gAme files which is how he played Persia a bit back winning in 2 episodes
Oh yeah but i mean without "cheating" you can't play other factions ! Still that campaign he played was funny and in the end he still lost XD !

Make the Macedonian empire great again
When i play this i always incite a revolt in Sparta and then exterminate the populace, the income becomes positive as does the public order. Just incase anybody was having trouble with it.
I swear to God legend has absolute rotten luck when it comes to phalanx units. His own men trying to sabotage him ahah.
Brain Blessed is a treasure
Fuck8ng Amazing still like 7 Years Later 😎 Rome Total War Rules
I think you could've saved quite some units in the first battle at the ford. Staying out of range of the bowmen initially was clever, but you shouldve made them waste their arrows on those useless javeline throwers or expose some of the weaker infantry on that flank + keep your ranks in order.
This campaign is FUCKING HARD.
I hope that this lasts longer than the Persian Campaign!
I still play this for some reason I have all the collections of rome total war games of it bi Alexander and normal rome
This should be its own detailed game and not just a dlc
I approve with this campaign choice!
Only two years after suggesting
ooooh I've been waiting for this!
Legend, when you buy mercenaries you can just select them and click the check mark in the corner, you don't have to hit the buy mercenary button.
Just started watching your videos and they are so simple but great. Also you really learn Tw tactics and strategies. Much better IMO than that Lionheart guy, you deserve more subs. Maybe it's because you play like your playing alone instead of playing for an audience. Keep the Job going, I would really like to see you enter in Truimph in the Mythical city of Babylon.
Great Video! This comes to Andriod this month. So excited
I bet by the end of the campaign that Legend will be good with pikes.
Pike men Pike men Pike men. a whole fucking cluster of pikes... seems he's doing it to entertain his viewers by getting pissed off from failing Ai pike in huge unit scale.

Best comment ever
bruh i just noticed ROME 1 had cavalry run over flat routing units if you right click passed them and not attack/charge ... but does that only happen to light missile units?
Are you gonna do this in the 26 turns Alexander historically lived in? Or is this not a blitz campaign.
The Greatest Manifesto even blitzing, you can't take all the settlement that Alexander conquered.
Daniel Balderrama he didn't take them all by war IRL he basically annexed the Persian empire after killing Darius III in battle but as we know that's not how Rome Total War works because there is no Annexing/capitulating mechanic
No conqueror in history had to violently take even the smallest damn village in a certain territory in order to conquer it. Neither Alexander had to nor Caesar, Hannibal, Ghenghis Khan, Napoleon etc.

Thessalos
So basically like RTW
Im-fucking-possible
Great pick of campaign, looking forward to it. But I reeeeeeeallly hope you didn't record every episode before adjusting the audio levels.
Alexander the greatest general ever
love you Legend
What I found is that the higher the anti aliasing setting you put, the better the performance
40:15 did u just cheat here? how did gain movement points
Thanks for this campaing
16:00 very bad tactic coming... lol

dude, Im, pretty sure an Alexander campaign is going to come out for rome2 :)
and i thought the campaign would be possible
I prefer the Medieval II play style rather than the Rome II play style.
But Alexander never conquered all of Persia by war he conquered Asia Minor and beat Darius III in battle then the rest of Persia surrendered and Alexander ruled for a time until it broke when he died into The Seleucid Empire, Egypt and Macedon, the Seleucid Empire being basically the new Persian Empire
in school we learned that the last battle was against the indians in the the border of india.The battle is called the battle of idaspi( ithink it ishydaspes in english. after that the soldiers demanded to return home and the campaign stopped.The batlle happened on 326 bc
+End my Cancerous Existence In fact, Alexander had to battle his way all the way down to Issus in Syria, then to the siege of Tyre until the Egyptians welcomed him as liberator and proclaimed him Pharaoh. But the Persians had not capitulated. Darius sent Alexander a letter promising him riches and satrapies in Asia Minor if he withdrew back to Greece. Alexander responded telling him that he will fight and chase him till the ends of the Earth and the major engagement happened at Gaugamela in Mesopotamia, but it wasn't over, since Darius fled along with his satrap and commander Bessus to Bactria. Alexander chased them and he faced little resistance east of Tigris River. Bessus however murdered the Persian King and proclaimed himself King Artaxerxes V and organised resistance in Bactria. The Macedonians had to fight yet again in the eastern provinces and had even fought the Scythians near Syr Darya River (or Jaxartes) then happened the battle of Hydaspes against Porus of India as mentioned above, so the campaign was far from peaceful after the defeat of the main Persian force. PS sorry for the giant comment, I didn't mean to lecture you neither I am a history student :)
he did in fact have to fight many sieges and skirmishes after issus and gaugamela. tyre, gaza, the perisan gates, the uxian defile, bactria, 2 years alone fighting a guerilla war in sogdiana, scythia and then india.
No diplomats ?
