He just straight-up rose out of his fighting stance, looked his enemy right in the eye, and then cannon-balled off...... or should i say... straight DOWN..... please terminate my existence (no not really. geesh, the internet is weird)
Phalanx pikemen is literally the worst unit you can put on a wall, where their only strength, phalanx formation, can't be used. I'd understand if he expected to use them after you breached the wall, but the wall fight just kept going after he lost all his falxmen, but he had more falxmen left when he used the phalanx pikemen. Any semi competent player would win this easily.
Real good tactics but is you put your peltasts or slingers ( which was it?) on the walls you could have beat the archers in front of u or kill the enemy reinforcements below you just sayin
@warhell10 Wrong. The desync didn't screw up our game at all. I've already shown that in my previous siege battles where there was a desync. Did you watch the entire video? My opponent even admitted that he lost. We were watching the same game.
@Heidar95 I hate to say this, but this is a LIVE-commentary. You hear me playing the game as I play it. Furthermore, I was losing the game until I caught up. That seems to make sense to me. Finally, how was that being cocky? I was happy that I caught up with my opponent. Are you really threatened by someone who's happy to make a comeback? Maybe you shouldn't get offended by someone who shows confidence in himself.
Been watching your videos for a long time, and always enjoyed them, but this one was something else! Saw the one hour run time, and while intrigued, I thought, "I will never be able to sit through the whole thing," but I'll start it. Of course, kept through it through to the bitter end. Very impressive your handling of what looked like a cluster-shtup. Also very instructive, I thought, for illustrating many concepts of the game. Well done!
@LazyJoe335 in this game, it's not about troop numbers...it's more about the quality and money spent. What you wanted to say was: the attacker should get more money to spend. Forget how many troops he has (which is generally irrelevant)
Thanks PrinceOfMacedon,because of you I challenged my dad(who was the current champion of RTW in our family) and little bro at a competitive battle 2v1 and ANNIHILATED them Killing 3,000+ and losing only around 900.I'm now the champion and haven't been beaten yet.Keep up the good work.
@27thRegtofFoot or you could just try watching all of my videos. In the 6 years that I've done this, you can pretty much assume that I've done everything already. Yes, I've used pigs and dogs and every other unit in this game.
@dahockeygoalie first off, I used Spain to challenge myself. I love challenging myself in these battles by using less-than-optimal setups. Secondly, SAP points weren't even an option in this game. Look at the beginning of the video. You can't buy them.
Great game as always PoM! I'm surprised your men did as well at the walls once they got a breach, shows how effective fresh troops are versus exhausted ones I guess. The guy at 39:30 finally saw his chance to get away, too bad the walls are 50 feet tall, I doubt he made it. :P
Honestly, at the 15 minute mark, i was looking forward to how you managed an hour long fight considering how poorly it was going. Great video aside from the unresolvedness.
Lol, who saw the pikeman leap off the wall at 0:39:31? Good result, Prince. What a turn around! I don't much like people who quit out to force a draw. I reckon if you quit before the game ends then your opponent should win in a 1v1. If the quitter is host then everyone who didn't quit should win in a 3+ player game.
because they are all fully upgraded units which means general's unit does not influence or worry them as much as it would if they weren't upgraded at all
@PrinceofMacedon Have you ever thought about recreating the battles in Alexander the Great's campaign, and then doing them all in order? I think an Alexander Campaign would be a great mini-series.
@LGF232 because I haven't played in a few months, you assume I quit playing it? Hell, I stopped playing RTW for an entire year...but clearly, I did not stop playing it.
"I'm going to slaughter these DUMB archers." This is what he says when hes pissed. Make sure you surrender for him before he goes all out.
Do you mean that RTW still works for multiplayer? I thought gamespy shut down.
I was inferring it. I did not think that was going to be insulting. My bad.
I liked them. Not himself.
ya lol
Rome 1 MP is still working, you can play it over the new Steam servers or over GameRanger.
39:31 Man commits suicide by jumping off
He just straight-up rose out of his fighting stance, looked his enemy right in the eye, and then cannon-balled off...... or should i say... straight DOWN.....

Probably your best battle. That was great!
I know it’s been 7 years but my favorite has always been #1983

"I got a few of these...
SLINGERS!
...slingers."
I have seen many of your videos and every battle is more awesome than the previous one. Great siege battle and loved the commentary. I salute you sir.

Lol at 39:35 an enemy just ran off the wall.
It is on 39:30.
@Yooparkeria The battle was everywhere. Not just 1 spot. His attention was obviously divided.
39:30 LOOOOL ))))

play more reg oldschhol rome total war 1
@austina1333 glad you enjoyed the battle, man
@CrixusOfGaul glad you liked it, man
@lukaso76 because by the time they get up the wall, the Warcry would be non-effective. That's why I used Warcry ON the wall (where it actually works).

@hysteriahunter122 Nope. The battle starts once the planning starts. So the battle starts at 00:00
@RedDevilJohnson thanks, hope you enjoy it
Battle 1995.
Also the year I was born :)
I've been waiting for this day PoM! Been following your videos for a while, long may it continue!
@LazyJoe335 in this game, it's not about troop numbers...it's more about the quality and money spent. What you wanted to say was: the attacker should get more money to spend. Forget how many troops he has (which is generally irrelevant)
@jaheal9 no, if you read the conversation at the end, you'd see that he was losing. He admitted that in the chat
@extrememark13 thanks, but I do both formats because some people like it live...others do not
The game automatically gives you every guy in that particular unit. When they die, the number lowers
@MrMorrisFTW thanks for watching, dude
@badgertmaa glad you liked it
OMG. I can't believe you won that. That was so awesome. I've learned so much watching your videos.
thanks for watching, man
@crazycracker12u I don't understand the question. You ask me as if I've never shown ANY Napoleon battles. Hell, I even showed one a few weeks ago.
I'm loving the new opening graphic. You should get an outfit like that, unless you have one already.
@HDThreePiece I don't know, but you can look it up online
@DownWithTheViper thanks for watching
@GeneralSantucci1st nice, in that case...this video counts as 2 videos then lol
I watched your Rebel vs Scipii battle. Good stuff, dude.
also sharing your historical interests really adds to the videos, so again (i think ive posted in many of your vids) thanks :D
Man, I would have been so frustrated if I were you... How you keep your calm is beyond my comprehension xD
@HalZula thanks for watching them
@aerostrike22 sweet, thanks for watching =)
This makes me remember of the times I used to play RTW as a teenager... Good one, as always.
Thanks PrinceOfMacedon,because of you I challenged my dad(who was the current champion of RTW in our family) and little bro at a competitive battle 2v1 and ANNIHILATED them Killing 3,000+ and losing only around 900.I'm now the champion and haven't been beaten yet.Keep up the good work.
this was one of the best fights i've ever seen. at min 47 it was like in movies , your men took the walls right in time xD. nice videos
Man I thought that was a losing battle but how you pulled through like that man respect to you
Terrific effort by PoM for not giving up even though he was losing. Good job!
@jackspurs25 if my game freezes, I just close the program, and re-open it
@27thRegtofFoot or you could just try watching all of my videos. In the 6 years that I've done this, you can pretty much assume that I've done everything already. Yes, I've used pigs and dogs and every other unit in this game.
@TheBerlinMonkey I try to talk to my TH-cam visitors whenever I can, but I can usually only respond to a small percentage. But I try
@DukeOfTennessee117 I saw some green stuff floating around...but I didn't want that stuff anywhere near my mouth lol
That pile of dead bodies above the wall really scared me. It was extremely hard battle.
@TheLunaticSoldiers muchas gracias :)
@dahockeygoalie first off, I used Spain to challenge myself. I love challenging myself in these battles by using less-than-optimal setups.
Secondly, SAP points weren't even an option in this game. Look at the beginning of the video. You can't buy them.
@Commander729 yup, there's a lot of pressure being a pikeman
At 7:45 when he's humming the background music, I wondered if he would do that final note...and he does. Excellent!
@iendedyoui yeah, I wasn't pretty pessimistic until the end
@TheZionPride thanks, dude
@RageChipz thanks for watching =)
i love how you challenge yourself it seems like most people who play don't like to challenge themselves
@jaheal9 you can probably see it better if you put it on 720p, and full-screen it
@thebigbluesquid I don't schedule battles. I just do it.
@quicksilver356 it's all good...the battle was resolved by the time he quit
@Vkkhamul thanks, it was definitely tough
What a come back, I'm impressed
Great game as always PoM! I'm surprised your men did as well at the walls once they got a breach, shows how effective fresh troops are versus exhausted ones I guess.
The guy at 39:30 finally saw his chance to get away, too bad the walls are 50 feet tall, I doubt he made it. :P

@RLCEntertainment as I say (in my Frequently Asked Questions section, it's the time period).
@SilentStorm48 thanks, dude
I think the "gg?" meant that he did not know what it stood for.
it's weird, it seems when POM's general died, the tides turned into POM's favor.
I wouldn't call it "new" since I've done it several times over the past few years lol
Lol, who saw the pikeman leap off the wall at 0:39:31?
Good result, Prince. What a turn around! I don't much like people who quit out to force a draw. I reckon if you quit before the game ends then your opponent should win in a 1v1. If the quitter is host then everyone who didn't quit should win in a 3+ player game.
@GamerFr0mSWE happy anniversary =)
been waiting for a hour vid from you a long time
@TheUkaners thanks, man
because they are all fully upgraded units which means general's unit does not influence or worry them as much as it would if they weren't upgraded at all
@KingofKingsGaming sure, you can ask
@Hackymac I just uploaded the video, that's why ;)
@SPQR1777 yeah, I'll be watching the midnight release too - should be fun times! ;)
@RomanLegioXx in this battle, I had to channel my inner-Viriathus =)
@Kisk79 thanks, dude
@jaheal9 thanks for watching my videos, dude
best vid i have seen from you in ages
TH-cam is most extremely most greatest in too many ways
What a close battle! Another great watch Prince! :)
@TheCheezit21 thanks
@PrinceofMacedon Have you ever thought about recreating the battles in Alexander the Great's campaign, and then doing them all in order? I think an Alexander Campaign would be a great mini-series.
great game dude hope u keep playin and make more videos
@cicsimo it's gamer's code...I didn't make it up myself
@KingYelot the battle was over when he terminated the game
@TheMrRockalong thanks =)
@romulus755 glad you enjoyed
@WePlayL33TGames thanks
@Gack89 thanks, man
Funny around 51 minutes your slingers were getting attack by something from behind, but they routed the unit without you knowing.
@killerpups17 all of my videos are special. How much more special can they get?
@DukeOfTennessee117 haha nah, I actually stuck with Smithwick (which is very brown)
One hour video?! Better make popcorn :)
@warhell10 thanks, dude
@BottlesFullofTea how big of a smile? Or is it more of a slight grin?
1995 battles in rome total war??? that number is huge!
@12F220 thanks
@ThepunksfoodMedia umm, yes...I haven't lost in RTW since January 2009.
@LGF232 because I haven't played in a few months, you assume I quit playing it? Hell, I stopped playing RTW for an entire year...but clearly, I did not stop playing it.
