Time Commanders: Battle of Chalons Part 1/5

[andresrojas22]

5:25 wtf is that a skirt?

[commandosserftw]

innit27 you penis is dwarf! :D

[innit27]

attila the dwarf!

[hegs100]

I loved this show, too. I got a great tie-in book that came out at the time - "Time Commanders: Great Battles of the Ancient World". Lots of background and analysis of the actual battles. You can still get it new on Amazon, cheap (mind you I got mine as a present, so I'm not complaining!). It's illustrated with 'stills' from the programme, some as if at close-quarters, and some 'helicopter views' showing the battle formations. Great stuff!

[joshtong1234]

Rome is pretty much the best Total War I played. Only TW I havent played is Med1 and Shogun1

[xXRoNinBBBXx]

Guys Atilla was not that cruel. Most people who call Atilla cruel are some christian "scholars" of that time.

Atilla may not be as chivalrious as Cyrus The Great from Persia or Alexander The Great from Macedon, but still he was not that fucked up as the so called "Scholars" want him to apear.

Read some books about him and you will see! Btw Huns where a tribe from the Xiong Nu somewhere in Mongolia. They where close related to Turks. Hungarians are another people who setled there later.

[slydessertfox2]

i personally like Decisive Battles better

[Rattienose]

I remember this show, i used to watch it when i was ill and off school. I could never remember what it was called but remember the cool battle scenes and strategy moves. Yogscast reminded me and luckily, there was a link to the show on the right :P

[chocoman45]

state of the art tech eh..... more like an award winning video game for me.

[Pawnbroker00]

@chocoman45 time commanders was recorded using a beta version of rome total war, which is a lot different to the current version. They also used beta versions of barbarian invasion expansion pack for some of the later episodes like the battle of hastings episode.

A lot of stuff is still hidden in the game files too, some i have activated for my own person enjoyment :)

[oOJONNY12Oo]

Watching this show with shogun 2 on a HD tv would be amazing, that games graphics look amazing, And I would love this show back :(

[Luolapeikk0]

Goddammit. I want Time Commanders back... This time with EB. :O

[FsimulatorX]

@Luolapeikk0 what happend to it?

[SnakusViper]

Everyone, search petiononline . com, there is a Bring Back Time Commanders Petition! :D

[djjosh34445]

With ETW, M2TW, and pretty soon Shogun 2 Total War this show could remake alot of battles.

[joehamshere1]

this reminds me of being young:D

[Tareltonlives]

You'd think a bunch of runners would be a lot less stationary in that battle.

[bthang1]

KILL THEM KILL THEM ALLLLLLLLLLL!!

[piratelover64]

havnt played rome total war yet, im playin medieval 2 total war, the kingdoms expansion and a mod called third age total war, deciding between rome total war and napoleon total war for my next game, anyone want to help me out

[MrJJJames]

@piratelover64 well Rome total war doesnt have any gunpowder weapons or sea battle's but it does have a large number of ancient civilizations to crush under the wheel's of Roman progress and 3 roman factions to control. Theirs also the expansions of Alexander the great and barabarian invasion(don't remember the name but it had barbarian in it.)

[skarules111]

@piratelover64 Not a fan of Napoleon total war. Pre gunpowder wars are always more interesting.

[stump229]

@piratelover64 you cant go wrong with rome total war if you havent played it youll notice its alot simpler than medieval 2 but its alot more fun and immersive in my opinion if youre gonna get one of the newer ones get napoleon because its alot better than empire im still playing napoleon its really really fun empire was fun too but it had alot of bugs and didnt look quite as good

[ColdRicki]

@piratelover64 rome was before medievil 2, napoleon is the latest. rome the first i played was a great game to play but it would dissappoint you as in med 2 all the faults in rome are fixed in med. You should play napoleon though you need a good computer to play it as alot of people complained of the miniumum requirements needed. rome would not be a good idea as you would be going backwards. Napoleon ! Go For It!!!! xD

[CrazyManiac007]

Why did they ever cancel this program?

[leafkiller300]

rome total war is fun but not super realistic if you ask real experts

[hammerfall4thewin]

The rts in the show is rome:total war

[Addybattler]

I find it funny that they say "state of the art technology" and than on the other hand "computer games are bad and ruining our children".

Computer games rule! (Especially Rome: Total War ^^)

[PowerHungryKitten]

Haha. "Using state of the art technology, we will refight this battle." That's got to be an old episode then. I wouldnt call Rome: Total War state of the art.

[jethyy]

@PowerHungryKitten Must remember this is from 2004/2005, same year Rome Total War was released and the graphics were pretty spectacular back then.

[MisterGamer43]

For an RTS? These are STILL pretty spectacular graphics. That's probably because, sadly, the only other major RTS to come out since then was Halo Wars, which got no actual effort to improve the genre at all.

[Shack11]

@MisterGamer43 World in Conflict.

[MisterGamer43]

@Shack11 I stand corrected. I didn't know Sierra was still making RTS games.

I might have to hunt a copy of WiC down.

[DarkAsSilver]

@MisterGamer43 What are you talking about since Rome we've had Age of Empires 2, 3 more totalwar games (Napoleon, Empire and Medieval2). While not famous Sins of a Solar Empire won several game of the year awards. RUSE is due to come out in September. What you are talking about is from some FPS view if you really did play strategies you'd know just how wrong you are.

[gopconservative78]

but the French wanted to surrender though

[gv1955]

By French dont you mean Franks?

[greenydude014]

they're still French

[Justinian43]

my friend later after attila's death the huns would become rome's ultimate aid as foederati helping belisarius and justinian reconquer africa and italy

[John4700Deere]

Time commanders what a show!!!

[Justinian43]

at first i thought theyw ere playing rome total war but later i realized it was a program

[ArcaneAzmadi]

@Justinian43 It IS Rome: Total War! Modded, of course.

Interesting to actually have military people in command for once, even if they're not exactly real soldiers. For the first time, I'm actually confident that the players will win from the beginning, or at least avoid making any obvious blunders, although this looks like it could be a somewhat more difficult scenario than usual.

[frankiedetorie]

this is one bad ass program

i love it

BBC must bring it back

[Reuzekabouter]

Thanks for the uploads. Its a very interesting television show about ancient warfare and my favorite game series (Total War series).

5 Stars.

[SimonAshworthWood]

Even Attila the Hun can be made upset:

"...Attila the Hun would be horrified at the team's defensive mentality so early on..."

Heheh! :P

[deathpunish2]

why does these guys look different from other ( the host and professors)

[Laranzava]

Dude don't say that.

[Ironzealot7531]

"everyone get up on the hill"

[avm1004]

what is whit this show ??? they play rome total war in all episodes of the show or only in this???

[relentlesssinner90]

all of them

[kazaboy921]

all of them

this game only uses rome total war and it was shown before medeval total war 2 and empire total war

[TimiHendrix195]

its like that but family's and friends recreate famous battles in history to see how they do. it was quite good as a tv show

[YiddoBobbins]

It's a shame they haven't done a seperate series of this for each of the Total War games since Rome - they'd look steadily better with the regularly improved graphics, and offer an interesting variety of time periods and warfare types.

[djtimowdjmartyn]

they have to do this with empire total war

[lxgiwylgta]

when does this show was or is on air??

[TheAssist]

It was cancelled after the second season.

[solignak]

the truth about the roman general was not that he was held hostage, but was an ambassador of rome as child, and a peace child by being raised by the huns

[puchy110]

actually we don't know the truth

[MudkipBlackieChan9k]

god i love this show. They need more shows like this.

[Sodomodo]

yep sme

[XcowboybuttsexX]

@MudkipBlackieChan9k unfortunately....there isnt

[mjallan123]

No, that's Telamon.

[tiddleto2te]

what game is this there playing

[gv1955]

Rome Total War

Barbarian Exspansion

[Ironzealot7531]

wow you're dumb

[willypete2171]

well, although you are a bit direct in your observations, i have to agree with you. they neither look like soldiers or act like soldiers.

[Tareltonlives]

Thanks for the upload!

The second time military men took the field in the show, it was an initial sucess and a terrible defeat. I wonder how these guys will do.

So far it doesn't look good

[Tareltonlives]

No. It wasn't invented until the 16th century. However, it was a major wine region even then, and knowing the Huns and Goths, there was probably a few cupfuls before the battle. Eastern Europe and Central Asia are even today famous for hard drinking.

[gv1955]

This is the worst team EVER!!!

And they are from the army.

lol

[gv1955]

Thanks

Good to see this video.

Hope to see more = )
