But He came back...
NO
no
I kinda like risk tho, it’s a fun game
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more.
The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage.
When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building.
Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa.
They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower.
The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push.
A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted
A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower.
This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower.
The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it.
A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower.
Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.
A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough

Yes, very 😁
I personally prefer his stoic voice, but I still much enjoy his newer demeanor :]
Fun fact: The name "Carthage" ultimately comes from the Phoenecian "qrt-ḥdšt", which literally translates into English as "New City/Town"
This makes the later city of Carthago Nova/Cartagena translate into English as "New New City/Town"; and the even later city of Nueva Cartagena translate into "New New New Town/City"

Who’s here to prep for the 2nd Punic War?
Me
Me too
I came here to see the first war again before I watch the second but now I realize why he also put out a recap video for the first war earlier this day that recap, for people like me who dont remember much
I'm going through the entire punic war arc to recap myself for Hannibal's part 2 video

Watching the Romans solve the complexities of naval warfare by forgoing the ships entirely and instead making a bridge to cross over and beat the crap out of the other army has got to be one of the most unga bunga moments in human history.
Ancient problems require ancient solutions
Nobody can convince me that that wasn’t the most ingenious moment of all warfare, or at least in the top 5
i like bacon and eggs
The distance on the map may look small, but it's still around 5 km they would have to cross. That's huge for ancient times especially if Carthage could interfere with the building
@@Stroopwafe1 I think they meant the Corvus, to turn any naval battle into a land battle, but in boats. Truly Unga bunga, but also absolutely Genius.
I'm so glad Romans recorded their history well enough for there to be enough jokes, puns and characters for a full OverSimplified video.
For TWO full Oversimplified videos
@@alinsaji3063 And even more. I'm pretty sure the "To be continued" in the end was serious, because not talking about Hannibal Barca when talking about Punic Wars is a crime.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
Something that has always fascinated me about Rome is the way it carefully justified its conquests. Some empires are pretty open about just wanting to conquer the world, others become large almost by accident and some are fairly isolationist. Rome loved to conquer, but they almost seemed embarrassed by it, always attempting to frame their wars as necessary or defensive. Even going back to the founding myth of Romulus and Remus, Romans justified Romulus' actions by saying that he wasn't a murderer, he was acting in self defense as Remus had crossed a boundary called the Pomerium without permission, and under Roman law crossing the Pomerium was an act of war.
that's probably one of many reasons of their success, the moral of the soldier will always be high if they think they're just defending their land, country and family compared if they just think they're out to rob somebody.
Different times, different outlooks on war.
Almost 2 million views in 9 hours is insane. Love to see a channel like this get that many people interested in history.

Dude is the master at making sure his videos stay super high quality by almost never releasing any. It almost seems like the less often he releases videos the more popular he gets

I love how this guy ignores the fact that he's been gone for nearly a year then goes right back into the action like nothing happened. Hats off to you Oversimplified. Really well done video too.
Actually, that's just his schedule. He first makes two episodes to a large series, then, after about 3-5 months, it's a short episode. Then so on and so forth.
@@jakto3362 He basically has put us on a schedule and we dont even complain.
To be fair, for the animation and the script writing, fact checking (and other things like audio) to be at such a high level, it may be very time consuming for him. Which would make the time away make sense.
@@omarabdelghany7248 although I do like him being a one man team, he should get an editor to put the clips in or somebody to help him with audio and stuff

I love the part where Marcus Atilius Regulus said, "It's a war, a Punic war." Also we've only found a single instance of the Corvus being used and was reported as dicking up the ships balance too much. The Romans just used the smash maneuver for the most part, they just really upped their production and hired a shit ton of nautical mercenaries to compensate for their lack of experience.
Me watching the ending: "oh darn, now I'll have to wait another half year to see the end!". And then I see both parts were uploaded simultaneously, beautiful.

Never is a big word, but certainly they preferred Free men, to such a degree that they would free slaves, so they could man the galleys.
Venetians later mastered this art in such a bastard way
They recluted broke ass "free" men citizens to row, but they had to pay mostly everything, food equiments vests exct, but recluters Just didnt mention it, and the yearly payment in the end was kinda the exact same as the yearly expenses, so those rowmen progressively became slaves

My favorite part of the first Punic War was when a Roman general went to lay a naval siege to a city on the coast in 249 BCE. When deciding when to attack, he fed the sacred chickens, as was customary, to see if the gods favored Rome that day. When sacred chickens did not eat, signaling a bad omen, the general threw them overboard. He said "If they are not hungry, maybe they are thirsty." The Roman invasion force was soundly defeated and the general's name was shamed. Lesson is: never ignore the sacred chickens.

15:22 Having studied the Punic Wars two years ago, there's a fun fact on how the Romans managed to reverse-engineer Carthaginian ships so easily: Carthage's arsenal built ships with standardized detached parts and signs/numbers/letters inscribed on them, much like an Ikea furniture piece (that is the exact analogy my history professor used). Once the Romans figured out the system, they copied it, and managed to mass-produce these ships.
Edit: In the interest of intellectual honesty, I couldn't find the source in my notes, so here's one corroborating it:
"The Marsala ship [A Carthaginian ship found in 1971 off the coast of Sicily, from the 241 BCE Battle of the Aegates Islands] brings us other discoveries: The painted signs on its hull testify (in addition to the fact that this ship was indeed Punic) of a rationalization for mass production: It is not explained otherwise how fast Romans And Carthaginians could arm so many military ships."
(Naval Encyclopedia - Carthaginian Ships; look it up online, I can't post the link here)
ReEdit: Regarding the sources, in that class we were taught the three most useful and mutually exhaustive sources were, in order of preference: the "Histories" of Polybus, a 2nd-century BC Greek historian who lived the Third Punic War and was a close friend of Scipio Aemilianus (the Roman general who won that war); the "History of Rome" by Roman historian Livy, who wrote in the 1st centuries BC and AD, with some passages missing; and the "Foreign Wars" of Appian, an Alexandrine Greek writer from the 2nd century CE.
All wrote from the Roman side and favored them, though Polybus is critical of the Romans when he felt they went back on their word. Polybus is generally considered the most reliable.

@@therublixcube3052 I agree about the humor. Its really too simple and he wastes a lot of time on it. Its bad when I dont even chuckle at a single joke.
Ok don't read my name.🤨😏
Oversimplified may you please make a Playlist that goes from oldest in history to most recent in history so that way I can get a full understanding of all your videos and it makes it Generally just pretty fun
Who else here keeps rewatching his videos and sometimes decides to keep going and push through the day, because today could be the day when he finally uploads again?
When Rome said “ its Rome’ing time “ and Rome’d all over Carthage i got the goosebumps. Bravo Oversimplified
I’m a dumbass
@@Nhaptenkenh why don't you timestamp these nuts

OverSimplified really GRU after all these years.
@@johnkingbad and we took a pooh
Popular Opinion: Oversimplified should have his own TV show. this guy is the only person whose sponsors i never skip.
Yes
is over symplified dead
@@Foundedglue8459Hes not, it just takes a lot time to make videos. Researching, animation, script and a lot more, thats bc he doesn't have a team.
Then you should watch internet comment etiquette with erik

As a mathematician and a military history enthusiast, "2+2=war" goes unnecessarily hard
Who else is rewatching this because of the trailer.
Yes sirr

A really unexpected topic but a key part of Roman history, another great peace of work. Keep it up!
Fax dude
I create entertaining videos as well
@@yungblattt Hustling
I've been hoping that we would cover Roman History since forever!! It's my bday I guess!
More like a key part of carthaginian history, screw rome
Man I love this part of history. Almost feels unreal this ever happened, and more like a well-crafted story
yes
Blood oaths of revenge, bloody battles, brilliant generals, poltical intrugue, unbelievable feats of heroism, a clash of 2 mighty dynastic clans, heck it's even got fighting monsters.
Oh wait wrong Punic War.
Ok don't read my name.🤨😏
Now we gotta rewatch this before we can watch the second one lmao
I can't believe this released 16 months ago, what the hell...?
Anyway, time to rewatch everything again.
Gotta say, im loving how he's putting more emotion into his characters in the more recent videos, the older ones are more like watching a class with a few jokes here and there, but these ones are just as informative while being even funnier
Tbf I don't mind either style, I'm just more interested in the info, it wouldn't matter if he stopped writing jokes for the videos (if it meant that we got the vids faster), I'd still watch them either way
Yeah when you watch his WW1 video and then jump ahead to the Civil War theres already a clear difference
Absolutely love the fact that how the humours are improving as well as the quality of the animation.
Concur. The Carthaginian reaction to the corvus (at 20:00) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a history video. And now I'll never forget what a "corvus" is.
The humor is getting more sexual and loud, which is bad in my opinion
@@catherineofaragon3140 more sexual?
@@catherineofaragon3140 Honestly, i feel like he forcing bad joke instead of his usual clean deliver
@@catherineofaragon3140 this added with the low brow toilet/gross out humour is just making these videos feel so? i don't know forced? like my guy you're funny as it is, you don't need to resort to this kinda nonsense
I love the stretch of the face when he wiped his son’s face😂
Also, “It’s work-iing!” killed me🤣
As an artist, I find it very relaxing to listen to Oversimplified while I draw something about him is just super chill, idk what it is.
The self awareness, the writing, the seamless transition between jokes and history.
This is top tier.
If you’re struggling with posting frequency, consider building a team around you and delegating tasks while you supervise. It’s hard to trust others but when you accomplish good synergy you’re freeing yourself to be more creative elsewhere.
Once again, thanks for this awesome content
Absolutely. I believe he should build a team and make oversimplified a brand.
@@deepakpandey6300 I doubt he’ll make it too big but a small team is enough
@@Deathmare235 he surely can have u seen cocomelon. I think he surely reach up to the level of cocomelon.
@@deepakpandey6300 I’m saying that he doesn’t *want* a big team
@@deepakpandey6300 yeah content farms generally turn out crap, look at Coco
Im so glad hes covering ancient history! I wonder if he'll do the 2nd punic war and cover Scipio and Hannibal!
The end of the video said it was coming soon!!
@@SuchDoge4242 you know who else came soon? Your mom
Good because that'll be so entertaining. 😂
Annnnnnd it's here!
@@Emp31 They're talking about the SECOND punic war. This is the first one.
revewing this before second pnuic wars
I don't know how, but your timing is always on point for me! When we were learning the Napoleonic wars, 2 days earlier, your video on it came out, when we were learning the 1st punic war, your video came out on THE EXACT DAY we started learning it, and nowz when we are learning the 2nd Punic war, your video comes out 1 day earlier!...are you spying on me because I didn't buy the Bucket plushie?
We know he’s doing well when he gets 2 sponsors on a video. Well deserved!!!
Timestamp?
I be making entertaining videos as well
@@atharvshukla6424 he splits them into 2 parts (2 different videos) so he can have 2 sponsorships
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
15:15 with the Romans trying to use fish to pull their chariots was priceless. Thank you Oversimplified for yet another phenomenal history vid:)
I completely missed that. Thank you
Don't forget the horses in scuba gear!
Genuinely laughed so hard on this😂
I be making entertaining videos as well
Video was published on September 2nd 2022 and here I am January 3rd 2024 this is wild yet Im going to wait for whatever next masterpiece oversimplified will release
This is literally one of the greatest days of my life. I don't care if the next video takes one year or thirty, they are always well worth the wait! Amazing video as always!
Yep !
Welllll part 2 is already premiering 👀
He gave us two!
fax fr
AGREED, OMG OMG OMGBHE UPLOADED OMG OMG OMG
one thing you missed is that one of the reasons the romans were able to copy the carthaginian ships is because each lock in the frame was numbered to it's matching lock.
What?
@@Douglas_413 In other words the Carthaginians unknowingly provided an instruction manual for the Romans on how to copy/build their ships.
The guy that was supposed to rub them markings off was on vacation, at the worst possible time!!!!
What part of oversimplified do you not understand?
@@samuelG009 yes but this is a missed opportunity to be funny which I cannot abide
We watched this in history class and it was awesome
Lucky! that sounds so fun
Can’t wait for the second Punic Wars! One year later and I’m still waiting !
I love the fact that he tried to use historical outfits in the animations and not just the overused imperial armor
Ikr! The armor(s) is quite accurate for the time period, also love the depiction of the three classes of Roman infantry, Hastati, Principes and Triarii are equally reprensented.
I will never stop adoring the usage of Times New Roman in that list with the consuls. This was genius.
Because theres so muchfiles

@@brainlyexpertsmart1136 WHAT
Romans and ships do not mix.
But they know that. That is why they were so good at building bridges!
look at the amount of detail in the background in the first scene. oversimplified probably knew that barley anyone would look at it and he new he would never be able to reuse it but he still put so much effort into it and that’s why he is so awesome. I mean seriously he added reflections on the floor
If history were presented this way in school, I would have been a historian.
Would have been all of them
No you wouldn't. These videos have so little info you don't really know the whole story. I can barely watch this unfunny nonsense myself. Go watch the 2nd punic war series by historymarche for better historical videos
@@johnnyjoestar5193 that might be why the channel is called "Oversimplified"...
@@golianxzoriginal9974 so?
@@johnnyjoestar5193 These videos get people who are interested to dive deeper into the topics and then watch vids by the in-depth channels.
this guy is the only person whose sponsors i never skip
SAME I LOVE HIS SPONSORS AND THAT THEY COME IN FUNNY MOMENTS
Yeah, that and internet historian
Same
I bet why he took 6 months to post a video is because it requires a lot of time for him to find creative ways for the sponsors
I fast forward
4:47-4:52
That name looks similar to a servant of The One Who Waits in Cult of The Lamb
cant wait for the 2nd punic war coming in 2026
2nd punic war already came out
@@oliverTheoilyolive no that's the 1st Punic war, 2nd part. The 2nd Punic war is an entirely different series of wars that took place approximately 50 years after the 1st. The 2nd easily has to be the most famous one as well.
@@oliverTheoilyolive no it didnt?
@@OldFarmerJoe1 part two is out
@@oliverTheoilyolive share link then lets see
I remember checking his channel literally just yesterday for any new videos. Was super disappointed when I didn’t find any. Happy to see OverSimplified read my mind and used his omnipotent power levels to form an entirely new video out of nothingness.
Literally did the same thing
I’m not the only one
Ok don't read my name.🤨😜😏
And another

Part of being an oversimplified fan:
Getting hyped when he uploads then forgetting he exists for a while
So trueeeee
frrrr
I rewatch way to much to forget this great man
He just forgot his password.
It’s worth it
I love how the Roman response to not understanding naval warfare was to turn it into ground warfare, which they were actually good at.
Who else rewatching before the newest vids
