  • Rome have a dumbass player

  • The Equites were easily his downfall, however, the onagers did little to help as well, he should have forgone both and spent some extra money on heavy cav or an upgraded urban cohort which is really the only Roman unit that could contest his spartans.

  • The Roman army in this movie is very clever, apart from that the Equites (Roman cav in this movie) sucks balls, they are only good for chasing archers and swift manouvering.. a little heavier cav, a little less on the generalunit and the match would have been tighter.

  • Hm..he shouldn't have used cavalry like he did i mean think about cavalry and spears aren't going to work.

  • wow, i tought people in REAL FUKIN life would think well, greece has lots of spears n stuff better not have alot of horse men. arrows would be better. BECAUSE ALL THE FREAKING AI DO IS SEND ARMY's of 1000 HORSE MEN towards my hopolites and spartans what retards.

  • The problem he had was this-His cav were generally uselsess. Light cav wern't great unjits at all. And he didn't seem to know how to play all that well-He didn't use his army to it's most effectiveness, he didn't use his cav in pure-fast paced game.

  • Dear Rome Total War players, I ordered rome total war, and I didn't get an online code, can someone please help?

  • Equites are probably the biggest joke in RTW. I've seen them rout against peltasts.

  • I would be shaking my head after that battle

  • Great job? How about get a job you fucking nerd

  • @54dann How about you get a life you fucking troll.

  • @54dann dude im guessing you lost to this guy and lost your boyfriend, i mean girlfriend cause of it?

  • @54dann your just a gimp that fails at trolling in all regards

  • You are blessed for commentating!

  • Great job. But i have to disagree with the out come truthfull the romans would win if this was real, Main reason they lost was because he is modern player much smarter. Great job though :P

  • I would have beaten you with that Roman army. Palamandros played like a fool...

  • i like that u teach us history at the same time seems like u r smart ;D

  • @jakzine540 because rome invaded Greece at a right time when macedon was at war with Greece.the Romans won a battle against the Macedonians at cyoncysplae.I think I got the name wrong.therefore,rome seized Greece and becam the empire lol.

  • the best units against spartans units it's maybe triaria or archers. maybe a combination

  • Spartans=over powered

  • were the spears really that long?

  • what game is that?

  • @Jason75374277 Rome Total War

  • OR WHATEVER THIS MAP IS !?!

  • THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OMG THAT GUY SUCKS SO MUCH DICK LOL

  • spartans kick ass !!

  • THIS IS SPARTA !!!!

  • spartan's are so badass that they go to war when they wana relax

  • @klaykill Spartans rarely fought.

  • @DiomedesStrosMkai roger that captain killjoy

  • No prince was good, but his oponent didnt play well. HE HAD ADVANTAGE with those cavalry, but he got too excited and ruined that

  • i love hoplite infantry

  • Wow those are seriously amazing skills. I used to think it was impossible to win with only spartan units without anyone to guard their flanks but it looks like I'm really mistaken.

  • Your opponent had no chance in hell of taking out 5 Spartan units with that pathetic army. Hell, he would be hard pressed to take out one unit, let alone 5!!

  • he just got pownd

  • I dont understand how you killed so many but he killed little.

  • @newgangster18 he use the spartan hoplites. one of the most powerful unit in the game.

  • my fav roman general is Julius ceaser but my fac colour is the skippi... why so hard choice :(

  • did the greeks really get taken over by rome?

  • @vuvuzela691 corinth got sacked, macedon lost its monarchy (i think) and the rest became vassals (protectorates?)

  • @vuvuzela691 Of course, ever heard of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Byzantines. Once Rome fell, the Greeks were the only ones perpetuating the once might Roman Empire.

  • @vuvuzela691 when rome became the mighty power of the world they took over many countries, egypt suffered the most.

  • Only spartans would survive that first hammer and anvil strike from that many calvary (Even thought they were all equites :P)

  • the three hundred

  • You realy need to get a Rome total Realism battles but you Rock

  • Why would he use cavalry against Greece!? D:

  • @holypilgrim90 It CAN work. Just DON'T ever fight them on THEIR ground. The phalanx was well-suited to Greek geography and general features. But on the open areas, it doesn't work out so well. Phalanxes can be easily outmanuevered, if the commander is skilled enough and has cavalry. Phalanxes were also very unwieldly in faster pace warfare. Horse Archers were a BIG problem when Greek troops engaged other armies. Try out flanking the phalanx and come in from the sides and behind. VERY nasty. ;)

  • @jakzine540 Oh yes, I agree. It's just that somebody trying to out-smart PrinceofMacedon on the battlefield is just plain silliness. He's not one of your simple AI, you know :P

  • @holypilgrim90 Of COURSE. ;) Skilled Greek commanders, as Prince points out, COULD use the phalanx well in open ground, but you had to be careful. Discipline, tactics, and bravery count for a lot, especially in those days. How did Rome become an Empire?

    And yeah, Prince is a tactical GENIUS in this game. I've NEVER seen him lose, and he's posted, like, 1500 videos of this game?!

  • @holypilgrim90 Rear.Unless you don't respond quickly,you're f***ed.

  • @holypilgrim90 TO GET ADVANTAGE AGAINST THE SUPER SPARTANS?

  • @holypilgrim90 flanking or hitting a phalanx in the back with cavalry can obliderate it completely sometimes. your comment is old i know baring in mind ;)

  • @Brotherhoodbikechief ye he should have asked why did he use light cavalry against greece

  • @Brotherhoodbikechief Not Spartan hoplites, elephants cant even hit them from behind sucessfully. Well if way outnumbered i guess it could work, but its a long shot. Spartans in my opinion are the best troops in the game and will probably kill just about anything. i killed 800 British chariots using 81 Spartans lost 19 men and they had me fully surrounded.

  • @holypilgrim90

    Will in my opinion cavalry vs greece are important cause you can charge there spearmen at the back that will help

  • @vladak47 Hitting Spartans in the back is just as bad as hitting them in the front, normal hoplites that works against. Spartans only real weakness is to shoot them and even that takes a very long time.

  • @disturbed10kfists roman pila work really good against them, test an 860 denarii ubran cohort vs a 1200 denarii spartan hoplite unit, let the urbans throw pila and see who wins .

  • @deadlycatthefirst Yes i know urban cohorts will win if they throw the pila at the Spartans. I meant calvary in a single unit charge. No calvary unit in the game can take on s Spartants who are not already engaged no matter where they charge from.

  • Comment removed

  • @disturbed10kfists to my knowledge, no cavalry costs more than spartan hoplites. Elephants are an exception. Spartan Hoplites are phalanx troops, so i suppose killing cavalry should be in their blood.

  • @deadlycatthefirst Yeah, to test the theory i put 760 British heavy chariots in vs 81 Spartans. I won loosing about 50-60 Spartans. Not really sure what would have happened had i put them in with elephants, ill try that next. But my guess is Spartans would win with 60-70 losses.

  • @disturbed10kfists i just did elephants vs spartans , elephants won with no losses.

  • @deadlycatthefirst For me elephants won as well but with like 100 losses, well mainly because armored ones kept shooting. Tried again, 300 Spartans vs full army of armored, they won again but lost most their armies.

  • @deadlycatthefirst Normal elephants however got beat every time.

  • @disturbed10kfists

    Uploaded and added it as video response to this video so u can find it easily.

  • @holypilgrim90 because with his inf at the weak end he had no choice but to do that noob

  • @likeworldable woah, woah, woah. I was just making a fun comment. No need to call me names. It's all fun here ;)

  • It should've been heroic victory

  • HEY how much RAM

  • @GAYSpartanSenator7 sparta is gay haha  i bet you didnt kno th-

    oh

  • @funnyguyagency

    your gay im from there 

  • @chosenonecp wat?

  • Get the mod for the spartans so they look like how they did in history

  • @fredsucksbutt124  nude?

  • @funnyguyagency bronze armor not the 300 kind but like the deadliest warrior kind

  • And this is the idea of Spartan spam came from

  • How do u play online with out getting "failed to connect (GS)" error?

  • And btw, good game, you did good. Congratz.

  • No disrespect to pom or anything, but he is not the best player. If you actually play the total war series games, you will find pros that play in tournaments etc. Just saying. pom is pretty good, but on a higher scale not "the best" as many people would say, and again i mean no disrespect to pom im a big fan.

  • @iPoTeNcYy True, but he is one of the best Public players. He doesn't play in Tourny's as far as I know, so he doesn't know all of the tricks and such that "pro" players use.

  • It is a shame though that whoever designed the spartan units never bothered to even glance at historical text or images to make even a cursory effort to design them accurately.

  • does each team get the same amount of troops?? like i have never played this game so yea don't know anything..lol

  • @StatiusMw2

    they have different costs, so no, they don't have the same number of units sometimes

  • @midgetydeath but do like they have the same amount of money to buy their units?

  • Did zou upgrade youre spartans

  • Hey you princeofmacedon!How did you loog online I tried it but I could not do it

  • jERKY in reality the romans would crush the spartans

  • HEY JERK DONT SAY GREECE SAY MACEDONIA. MACEDONIA DEFFERS FROM GAYREECE. JERKY BOY.

  • ive been watching a lot of ur vids an i gotta say man, your good lol real good

  • Spartans and Spartans and Spartans, Epic Spartan Time

  • I want this game soooo much! is the multipayer community still up?

  • @TheDARIEN54321 yes. 

  • a technique would be to put the spartans in a corner of the map...

  • @jayc342009 Yes, but by doing that, it kind of spoils the fun of the game and you also waste the other player's time.

  • @jayc342009 If he did that the heavy onagers would of ripped the packed Spartans to pieces unfortunately :/, but yes, if the onagers weren't there that would of been a good tactic.

  • Spartans > chuck norris

  • i hate rome ! not only on rome total war.. but olso to reality .. people screw the history ! killing with no reason ! bastards ... its something like today americans ...

  • @grculturefun The Romans had very sophisticated building techniques and technology, and a lot of cultures and language and such was adapted from them. They were a humungous advancement in everything, and without them a lot of countries could still be in low technological advancement. Also, what you said about America is hugely stereotypical.

  • @Recruitsoldier whatever rome made, was a copy from greece... the same philoshophers said that ... they just made a copy, and thats why their empire after many years, was greek again ... thats why there is no difference betwen greek and roman buildings... even cohorts are a copy from greek turtle... the thing i said about america is true ... first of all, is you are american stop speaking. then think why america makes war... for terrorism? of for oil?

  • @grculturefun olso ... the same thing happens to rome ... their soldiers thought they were fighting for rome, because roman politicians make their population believe that romans are true people, and barbarians where not,,, so they were killing other tribes for this reason, but the true reason was territory ... the same like america

  • @grculturefun Yet, the Romans did not make direct copies from Greece. It was more like, modified to be more efficient. Also the Romans had a lot of things the Greeks didn't. Also, America cannot be compared to the Romans, because they don't go on enormous conquests and take huge portions of countries. They liberate, not conquer. Even though this is not necessarily a good thing, you still can't make the analogy that Romans were like Americans with warfare. The Nazis would be a better comparison.

  • @Recruitsoldier

    America doesn't really liberate. they started a war for oil. but u r right in that America is not like Rome. but America is falling apart

  • @aceofspades477 Where did you get America is falling apart from? I haven't heard any news regarding this.

  • @Recruitsoldier

    u can see that it is. look at the signs. huge gap between rich and poor. bad economy, bad foreign relations.

  • @aceofspades477 Yeah but that doesn't mean it "falls apart."

    It's not much near a Great Depression, either, and even if it was, we came out of it just like we did when the first one struck.

  • @Recruitsoldier

    america only got out of the great depression because of WWII. but there is no sign of a huge war. not in this day and age. america is falling apart. it will be split up in at-least 50 yrs. which is a good thing because america is to violent. countries shouldn't start wars because of oil.

  • @aceofspades477 Whatever, I don't want to have this conversation, because I know nothing about it and I'm sure you don't either. Also, people always get aggravated when they see these enormous paragraphs that have nothing to do with the video. I'll keep your comment in mind and wait 50 years, and I sincerely doubt what you said is true.

  • @Recruitsoldier

    Ok np. but i believe it will happen. not saying it should because it will leave the country in turmoil.

  • looooooooovvvvveeee your vids they are so awesome :D

  • whats so good about this game ? protect your flanks with cavalry attack your enemys with your cavalry, strong center with spears and archer and siege in the middle and maybe use some skirmishers before the main battle what else is there to these battles???

  • @zerker12568901 It doesn't work that easily. Timing and micromanagement are important. You have to have knowledge of what your advantage is, whether it be infantry, cavalry, or missiles. If you have an infantry disadvantage, you have to get your cavalry into the rears of their infantry to win. But, if you don't get your cavalry there in time, you pretty much lost. You also have to know the weaknesses and strengths of your units and the enemy units. You can't just use a basic strategy to win.

  • wow u are good. I thought u were gonna lose from the start

  • @MrZcat101 U can defeat spartans by attacking head on with ur inf unit and then flanking them with cav and they go bye bye.

  • SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

    rules

  • how did u record that

  • are ther steel alot of peole online. because i wanne buy this game.

  • pretty much the only way to deafeat spartans is keep them busy in the front while doing flanking assault

  • thumbs up if u saw alot of his videos

  • thumbs up if u watched a bunch of his videos

  • thumbs up if u watched a bunch of his videos

    

  • they look like jammy dodgers

  • not even an urban cohort can defeat spartan hoplites in a head on battle

  • ummm i was wondering when you are picking your slodiers and on the top left it shows how many slodiers there are well my question is when that turns red and i try to play the game it freezes y does it do that

  • i dont think you can defeat spartan hoplites actually they are just to good with sword and spear only with many many javelins and then very good javelins @MrZcat101

  • How do u beat hoplites? they are impossible to beat.

  • @MrZcat101 Head hurlers, javelins, and are easy to out flank

  • some nice little trivia here P.O.M - do you still play Rome online much by the way?

  • the romans were more or just as organised

  • BITCH THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Very very good tactics. I want to play u. I don't have the game but I beat my cousin and he's beaten craps load of people. If I get the game, maybe I can play ya princeofmacedon.

  • Nice win, but that was a terrible opening move by your opponent. Why would he commit all of his horse in one charge? Such a waste, nice job is wasting this guy.

  • spartan says "fuck your variety!"

  • I've always been a fan of your vids,but this especially i gotta say I'm impressed,he outnumbered and out variety'd you,and you still managed to out manouver him,even out manouvering light cav with heavy infantry.very impressive indeed.

  • I like this game ,but ya'all know where to download it?

    Contact me on Messenger aziz_steam@live.com

    Nice video

  • @McOxigen cant download it you can buy it its only (i live in Europa 4,50 euro

    so like 6 d

    

  • graphics may be out dated but this is by far the best total war game there is until rome 2!!!!!

  • @ThePunker4life you know, unless you play on mac, where the phalanxes are glitched and you cant pass their spear walls, so all of a sudden if urbans cant use their pila they lose to militia hoplites... sadness

  • @samtheshow39 oh dude thats the gayest thing ever!! i have a mac boook pro but this is my art comp then i have my bad ass pcp for gaming so all is good haha. but wow thats a serious bug !!

  • @ThePunker4life agreed - would be great if they could add the great graphics of mtw2 and the gameplay of rtw in rome total war, maybe add some more tactical and graphic details on the campaign map from the empire total war and napoleon.

    and change the captains to generals in costom battles! ^^ rtw ftw :D

  • @ptccashmoneymaker Look up Roma Victrix.A mod for ETW thats remodeled for Ancient melee combat.Focus's on Rome after the campaign of Gaul with Julius Caesar

  • @ThePunker4life We can also download new skins 4 units :)

  • @ThePunker4life wrong mediavl 2 is the best until there a mediavl 3

  • @ThePunker4life THIS IS ROME TOTAL WAR!!!

  • Just waiting for battle

  • 19 people lost to him

  • THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what denarii was this battle? I'm wondering because the roman army was pretty weak to what it could be around 15k

  • @AMAURIS966 lol I was wondering why they didn't look like the armored hoplites but with capes.

  • I thought Spartans remained shirtless with their plateskirts and had the upsidedown V on the shield they carried....I had to do A LOT of research on Spartans back in school. I am just curious why they're dressed in red shower robes.

  • @AMAURIS966 actually spartans had a very heavy armour. Similar to the one of armoured hoplites in the game but as you said with the upsidedown V (which is a lamda, greek letter that starts the word Lakedemonii. Lamda is pronounced as L). They would wear all red because they didnt want their opponents to notice blood on their skin.

    finally POM's point that they wouldnt pursue fleeing enemies is not true. They wouldnt go far away but in every battle they would hunt them for limiting their numbers

  • For a tactic-lover like you I'm surprised you used an all-spartan army.. really, they're just like tanks that you don't have to do much with to win

  • Spartans would also die in Training, they are some crazy BA SOBs

  • haha i have no idea how u win every time

  • @heynowjustchill He has the ability to command his entire army at the exact same time. Perfectly.

  • yo prince when i first started watchin these i thought u were white and im like wow didnt expect that and my friends like wow hes a loser and im like na hes cool just wanted to say that idk y

  • yo prince when i first started watchin these i thought u were white and im like wow didnt expect that and my friends like wow hes a loser and im like na hes cool

  • What i love about your videos is how calm you are while u command... thats a sign of a good strategist

  • WTF their helments look like gold bowls :D

  • long live greece good job prince u know how 2 command troops

  • holy shit for a minute i thought even the prince cant win this

  • I know this has been spammed millions of times, so 1 more won't hurt any.

    THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!

  • Your an awesome strategist and quite knowledgeable about Greek history. 

  • you should do a battle of greece and scipii at syracuse and beat the crap out of them

  • what rome total war is u palying

  • At the start I thought you might lose the battle but that guy wasted his cavalry

  • how did u win that !!!

  • spartans roooooooooock

  • my teacher said that according to College professors (and other people who study history) 300 spartans actually could win a successful battle against 1000 persians

    because a Spartan's life was devoted to defending the city-state and war so they were trained generally by the age of 5 and the couldn't mary until they were in their mid 30's

  • did you know that when spartans died in battle they were carried on their shield

  • @animereviewdude no shit dumbass have you not ever heard the quote come back with your shield or on it?

  • @psn246 yes i just wanted to know if other people knew and you dont have to call me dumbass
