Amazing you did it! Even though i managed to kill their general i could not get the infantry to rout. The triarii didn’t stand a chance against the chosen swordsmen. Thanks for saving my battle!
How did you even even get high enough barracks to field triarii? I usually reach the reform before i could lol. Theyre also worthless against the brits bc they have no cav
You re welcome
No problem bro , happy to help you with your disaster battle 💪🏼
@@bakedpotatoes3903 @willkitt4024 why are either of you clowns saying you're welcome, lmao.
Man I remember chariots in general being hilariously broken in this game, felt like everything just exploded when they touched anything
I always had the impression that chariots knock down almost anything they touch. And while infantry can often get back up, a knocked down cavalry is killed. That's why they are so lethal vs cav.
They are broken in every total War game
@@srdjan455 ah yes, the most terrifying unit in warhammer: The chariot. It has no counters at all
Idk, i always found chariots to be so incredibly bad. Like they do a TON of damage on the initial charge, but you just sneeze at them and they collapse. But then again i always loved grece, macedonia and seleucids who just murder chariot armies
Chariots are very weak to missiles because you can make them go out of control
When I played RTW chariots of enemy will always grind through whole my army and kill everything. When I was commanding chariots they died with any collision like a sword or a pike or a horseman... I have always lost all the charriot generals in fights, they were like riding without hp and dying a lot. It is really intriguing how your cav survived against charriots, a truly heroic battle and victory!
Enemy Units doing always better on harder battle difficulties because they get flat stat boosts. I think +4 atk/def on hard and +8 atk/def on very hard.
@@adept7497Close. It's +7 attack/+7 morale, which are the two most important stats in Rome 1. With high attack, they just chew through things ( especially with how fast/fluid the Rome 1 combat system is, funny enough ) and the +7 morale keeps them in the fight so even when you do start to edge out, with how bad base morale in Rome 1 is they'll win through unit losses.
If they had 7 def, they would be unkillable ( case in point stuff like General's Bodyguard on VH where they thoroughly outstat people. If they had another 7 mdef they'd be impossible to kill)
Keep your chariots in a blob and keep moving! The moment you stop you will get shredded, but if you just give move orders constantly they will mow the enemy down.
This game is 100 years old and every time I watch this guy play it I learn something I didn’t know. Checking the units experience in the middle of the battle 🤯
I love the relative straightforward nature of the older total war battles
Absolutely loving the regular variety disaster battles for the decent pre-2016 historic titles. I'd happily watch full campaigns from these games if that's something you would enjoy and get sustainable viewership out of. Highly appreciate your work and recent efforts.
Always thought that phalanxes were the strongest in RTW. Then I tried chariots.
You should try horse archers...
You should try german berserkers. They circlebeat even elephants.
Live Seleucid reaction: 😈
@@Grivehn i should test that.
Briton light chariots are as deadly as horse archers... maybe deadlier... and have less upkeep than a warband. And shoot as far as cretin archers.
Really fun battle that highlights just how versatile these early games were. You'd never manage that kind of victory in Troy or Pharaoh with those odds.
My biggest gripe. It's gone from strategy to numbers game.
tbf he only won because the dumb AI sent the general charging alone against 4 cavalry units and got completely surrounded.
Girls: I bet he’s out staring at girls asses.
Guys: Killing the enemy general is great, but to ensure the kill we gotta make sure he’s tired.
9:03 "...Despite the fact that we've killed the enemy general. They don't seem to care"
Maybe they didn't like that general all that much?
The fact you only lost 268 men is insane
I was playing Barbarian Invasion, and one of the hoard factions sieged Rome. The battle is like 13.000 barbarians vs 3.5000 romans. I played the battle 4-5 times, came close at least 2 times to victory, but no matter what, I always lose. I am thinking about sending Legend the save file, If i figure out how to do so
Please send it to Legend!
He has instructions in every Saving your disaster battle video, including this one!
julius caesar would be proud
Never played Rome: Total War. That battle music 👀
Music in first Rome is something else. I played that game more than 10 years ago but still remember female chorus on campaign map. Rome II is just... silent most of a time
Loving all the historical games being featured on the channel, thanks Legend!
Loving the older TW videos! Thanks for going back to these classics again!
There's a beautiful video about the Iron Age British chariot by Schwerpunkt that I recommend for historical background
Jeez thats like an hour+ documentary , thanks for the suggestion :D
Really love the Rome Total War videos. It was my first TW game when I was 9 years old, brings back memories
I love battles like this! Though somewhat exploitative, it shows how well tactics can win the day in any battle!
Man I’m happy we’re in the “legend playing historical titles more timeline”
Wow this is the most impressive battle I've seen you win without some sort of cheese. Perfectly timed charges!
Legend you are...THE MAN! never stop being the "legend" you ate
Are*
Man, that initial killing of their general was the crux of the entire battle. What a masterful play!
This man embodies the spirit of Rome
I love how I get so engrossed watching these that I start to try zooming in on the battlefield to get a closer look at something, only to remember it's a recording of someone else playing.
This game is a Fire! When I was a child I spend days on playing in Rome Total War. This and Medieval 2 are the best total war ever.
Love the older TW games. Really like the Commentary along with the game! Thank you
I won a battle with 2 milita hoplites and 2 scythed chariots against 16 Nubian Spearman units with phalanx abilities on VH/VH in my last Seleucid campaign. Best battle of my life!
Never seen Rome 1 before, that battle music and the voices are top notch
I thought the battle would be a lot harder, but taking out the general early seems ot be key in these older games, still important in the newer ones but it feels especially important in the older ones
It is a historical reality. A general routing or dying meant there was little chance for victory, and very very very few battles ended in victory despite the general dying (all of which being minor battles). Historical TW enjoyers hate it when this is not how the game works, see Troy.
It is good for realism enjoyers and it is actually a really good gameplay feature if implemented properly, you just have to devote a lot of resources to protect the general and using his heavy cavalry is like a gamble, which is also a good gameplay feature.
The major problem is how dumb the AI is, but that has not changed in the last 20 years in most games.
I love how a unit of cavalry with 3 entities left in it can still route a unit with a charge😂
There's a trick you can do in Rome 1 to make sure the general doesn't die in the immediate charge - press the rally button as the unit is charging in, and the general himself rears up on his horse as a special animation, and thus stops moving and falls behind the unit.
Always love Rome content ❤ and the soundtrack is stellar.
Oh, I assure you, Legend knows that trick :D
He literally mentioned that in the video
@fanis1414 Ah, apologies then, I skimmed a few bits and only heard him say "I hope my general doesn't die in the charge" - an attempt to be useful!
extremely helpful for Greek generals as they have literally paper armor but high charge bonus
OH OW...so oooold. Dayum i member when i first played this after finding it on a sale on vacation i spain when i was like 11 or 12. Maaaaan what memories. This game literally created a dependency in me. It was broken only once world of warcraft and medieval 2 took it over XD
When Played my first playthrough in Rome remastered, and every other faction is easy as f*ck to deal with on hardest difficulty but, Britons. F*CKn BRITON CHARIOTS. I swear nothing had me mald more than thoose freaking units on my playthrough.
Unreal. I could replay this battle 100 times and would lose.
Who says it was his first attempt? General could die at any point, because chariots are stupid OP, especially vs cavalry. So it's perfect RNG, or he had to try few times.
He truly is the Lagend of Total War...
You have Rome remasterd, and Rome 2 on steam , but you play Rome 1 , that says everything :D
I dont know how your cavalry did so well against those chariots. Normally chariots just demolish cavalry.
It’s cause he got a good charge and a surround, a good charge is the only way for cav to kill chariots reliably
@@micahbonewell5994 Yep, he had pretty much the perfect scenario: great charge, surrounding the enemy and higher number of combatants and he still took pretty bad looses in that exchange. Worth it, of course but it does demonstrate just how powerful chariots are.
Defense stat of chariots is crap, full surround seems to stop them in their tracks, instead of wheeling around and knocking down everything. Ideally you have archers and phalanx deployed against them, but got to work with what you got.
OG Rome FTW, thanks for the video!
Dude, you are saying chosen swordsmen and I am thinking of archeon doomstacks (I think you find it weird too tbh :P ) hahaha. Nice battle!
Can you give a saving a disaster for real historical battles like Fall of Constantinople?
yeah tbh it would be really nice to see Legends playing Rome TW historical battles on vh/vh 👀
Have you played Total war pharaoh. I was looking at it but I think I might wait for it to drop down in price. I only play Troy One time And said it was stupid.. I've learned a lot from you by the way. I have mimic, multiple total war battles off. What you'd have done and have had your results..
It gets to a point if I do lose. It's multiple stacked armies. And I just don't have enough men.. I'm talking about getting in 3 stacks with 1 stack. I do heavy Artillery. So I will always have 3 pieces of artillery. For spirit units, 5 sword units for missile units And 4 cavalry. plus general. What I do is I will hold the line with my sword. Units flank with the spear units. Flank even further out with cavalry.. Form a circle and then defeat them. And then I weaken them up with Artillery from a far. The last campaign I did was Napoleon. I got to Moscow, buy 1810.. Then I always do the Battle difficulty On the hardest Level but they Then campaign difficulty. I flexuate with accept for Rome one total war. I do Battle difficulty medium.. I like re mastered..😊
Pharaoh is just more Troy. If you didn't like Troy don't waste your time and money on Pharaoh. So many better games around at the moment.
Bring back the Unf*ck Your campaign series !
Look at those peasants go, they routed barbarian spearmen with just a touch
Incredibly well done!
If using -ne on a shortcut of the base exe or -w doesnt work properly then you might be out of luck, if they are causing weird issues you can try mucking around with compatability settings and seeing if that fixes it, but im guessing when using -ne or -w it sometimes clicks through to your desktop and you cant control the units or something? Would be so much easier if the preferences file had the ability to add the commands for borderless window to it like ME2
I love my whole damn royal family to those bad boys
British chariots are some of the most frustrating OG Rome units to have to try and deal with, making a mockery of your defensive lines and mowing straight through to your skirmishers, the only solution is mass javelins
Or build a Fort near them with an army that has Archers, and try to induce them to attack your fort (with Archers safely behind walls to shoot them)
You had me at Rome Total War.
Phalanx, Praetorian Urban, Heavy Chariots and German Berserkers are the top tier strongest unit I've ever faced
I am really enjoying you covering other total war's, wh3 was just getting stale so quickly and I am a big fan of wh2.
Looked for a bit. -ne was mentioned as a solution but idk what that even is. I also found a video titled "Total War: Rome 2 - Tutorial - How to enable fullscreen borderless windowed mode in Rome 2." But then I got bored and came back to this one 😊
Nicely done!
@legendoftotalwar
i could think of a vmware workstation. have it run the game and have that software be in borderless windowed mode. also kills all the nasty bugs and glitches that may come on win10/11 when playing older games.
I like that category, "complete trash" lmao
So how many times do you commentate a game like this? Do you try to win first before you make the video, or do you make commentary on each try?
Hey I know how to set OG rome total war to borderless windowed! I made a video on it 10 years ago for the multiplayer community on another channel haha. Go to steam launch options and put "-ne" no quotations.
You'll need to set the resolution for ingame and menu separately.
hf
Gotta update that 'games you dont play' list now Legend ;)
1:18 let’s see what we can see what we can do, eyeh?
Love you bro
maddest lad
yeh babaayyyyyy
Hi legend ! I use thatfor Medieval 2 . Find the CFG file named preference and try finding windowed = false(change it to true ) or just type windowed = true at the end of the notepad
great video
Im curious what games do you have under listed under the "complete Trash" section??
love this
try running it in windowed mode and use fullscreenizer
Every battle in TW is winnable with a little bit of cheese
Legend has Starfield installed! I'd be interested to hear his thoughts about the game.
excellent gameplay
Nice
To have borderless windowed put -ne in the launch options on Steam.
I want to see the "Complete trash" folder opened lol
Hello, selecting properties from steam for this game and then typing "-ne" in the launch options box made the game run borderless for me, hope it is compatible with your recording software.
Nearly 80 turns in and my brother in christ is still using Equites and peasants with level 1 weapon upgrades? Bruh
why non-remaster ?
Hey legend (or anyone really), question. Do you do anything in particular for Medieval II to function properly? I've been getting fatal graphic errors after every battle and the pathfinding in sieges gets my units stuck eithout being able to use them at all. Sorry for asking here but I didn't get any significant help at the reddit and I really wanna play that game again.
there is a 4gb patch somewhere on the web, it makes m2tw use more than 4 gigs RAm
Rebel Syracuse lol
It has been like that for the whole campaign now, maybe scipii is bugged, they haven’t done anything so far.
thanks
DxWrapper might be what you're looking for, I'd love to tell more about it but youtube keeps auto deleting my comments...
Im surprised people arw sending in the original rome total war battles and not the remastered version.
Horrible UI in the new one
exactly@@legomaster7982
@@legomaster7982 but who cares about the UI the game runs so much better
@@stahliboi6249I don't like the way it looks overall, UI aside
Remastered RTW looks like shite - colour scheme of the terrain looks like puke, crappy UI, etc. Honestly the original is just fine.
to be fair rome 1 siege AI is pretty stupid, so this is totally doable, but still congrats
I really want to know what games you've thrown under "Complete Trash" 😄
Not unwinnable enough, I guess!
Just start talking when you are in menu or on map and just cut the part when you are launching the game
If u mind about this
On very hard?
quick question how do you get your RTW to run well? when i load mine up its super laggy and slow
You have to open task manager,right click on the rome.exe process and set affinity to only one CPU core - that means you uncheck all but one of them. Also, set the priority of the process to high.
The game is so old it that it only knows how to use a single core
sup
Remaster???🤨
“It’s because the files are all from og”
Ask people to play the remaster more or something, idk???🤨💯
i wonder what is in your 'complete trash' folder on steam ;D
how stable is RTW remastered? is it playable? kinda want to play some lotr mods, but not sure if it's worth the buy.
Complete trash
It runs very well and it never crashed on my end. Stability-wise the REMASTERED is very good. At least on my end. I hope this helps.
@@xXAlduin99 thanks, think i'll try it then.
@@4stringedbass Have fun. :3
If you haven’t tried it, go into the compatibility settings of the .exe and disable fullscreen optimizations or run it in a compatibility mode.
Go steam properties for the game and under launch options type -ne, it will make the game borderless. Also how can the game performance be fixed. Yours seems to be running alright.
I remember chariots being super op vs cavalry
Hi, I need some help. My og rome total war campaign map is laggy af. Do you guys know how to fix it?
Cheers
Create a shortcut from the root exe file. To run borderless and solve the alt tab glitch add "-ne" to the shortcut target field, like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe" -ne
Why did you change title from britton chariors slap?
It was doing really badly
Yeah legend yaaaaay 😂
