  • Romans.... they stole the Greeks mythology, then both religions were killed by Christianity and catholicism

  • i like both i am not against any of them cuz i love italians and romans .I'm just against the turks lool x

  • Φίλε, μήπως έχεις κάποιο πρόβλημα με το ότι οι Ρωμαίοι μας γάμησαν τελείως κατά το τέλος της αρχαίας περιόδου; Πέραν πάσης αμφιβολίας, οι Ρωμαίοι ήσαν ουδέποτε Έλληνες. Πάρε τούτο σα δεδομένο, μη κλαίεις εκ τούτου....

  • @ComradeMing well dont believe everything about spartans.spartans didnt left papers behind them and most of them are athenian propaganda (like that they were killing babies but it is proved that the dead bones belong to adults) or that they loved war also not true.they didnt like it but they were ready for it.however homosexuality was an OK thing back then.we didnt care that much about sex.in athen the man could have his wife and a female slave that he could fuck.well romans changes shit...

  • whats with everyone calling them pikes ,,its either sarissa or spear,,, the name pike only came from the middle ages

  • The true battle of superpowers every other empire besides british would fail in comparison to what romans and greeks accomplished.

  • is this rome total war?

  • @ah0410 Of Course It is !

  • one cuestion: the name the game???

  • @elmanudelnew this is total war: rome.

  • i hate it when people bitch that the greeks suck and all but look at the romans at teutoburg forest the germans ripped them an new asshole

  • yeah victory to rome !!:D

  • it's very easy to beat the greek phalanx:

    -charge with infantry from the front(you will lose many soldiers)

    -archers pour down fire arrows

    -cavarly makes a wide circle and atack them from the back

    As we know a phalanx is good from the front.......from the sides and rear it sucks

  • WHAT GAME IS THIS SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!

  • @drbadn3ws this is total war: rome.

  • This is SPARTAH!!!!!!

  • Greece is just amazing at war...

  • I think ur forgetting the part about spartans never surrender or retreat in like all of what they do

  • The Greeks didnt had a chance against Rome.There were no chance to get united as long as the hate its other more than any other people.In addition Romes legions were flexible very well armed and trained.They used heavy and light cavalry and war machines in order to offer a deadly blow to anyone who stand in their way.Romes glorious fate was decided after the military transformation in 237 BC.(For the record i am Greek)

  • 8:48 hey guys wait for me!!

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­w

    

  • Wow cool video but just a pity that the Greeks had fled. Were the Spartans were not allowed to me is 5

  • i cant choose over rome and greece

  • can't believe that we lost....

  • you should''ve exploited the gaps between the phalanxes and sorround them

  • The Romans and Greeks didn't fight over Greece...it was Rome and Macedon.

  • The Romans fought the Corinthians, destroying their city and enslaving the population; the Achaean and Aetolian Leagues, as well as sieged Athens and sacked it. I think the Romans and Greeks fought over Greece.

  • No, the didn't "fght" the corinthians. The corinth's low-minded people insulted the rome's senator(i don't remember) and then the governor of macedon destroyed and burned it.

  • Pretty sure the Corinthians fought back. I would consider that "fighting."

  • @DrakeVonDeath yeah yeah shut up now

  • @benandjohnnyfans

    I'll shut up when you have an actual argument.

  • and put in your mind that greeks didn't lose because they were unlucky,but because romans were stronger...is there something more simple than this?i don't think is too difficult to understand...

  • huns faced,losing,only the roman armies of the decadent late roman empire...huns never faced the powerful republican and early imperian legions...Gauls weren't united?ahahahaha...romans didn't won because they were lucky,but because they had the strongest army of antiquity(surely stronger than the greek one)...if you say that romans won with luck,then you don't know roman history...

  • rome didn't saved itelf because of hannibal's indecision...but because romans had 80000 of their best men in rome,while hannibal had 20000 men...it was simply impossible for him,to conquer rome...romans won won the majority of times against germans and parthians(think that the parthian capital was sacked 3 times),but their regions weren't rich enough to justify a roman conquest...

  • the reason of the ''divide et impera'',it's the classical excuse used by greeks,but it's false...romans used divide et impera,but in greece they faced always the main forces,no matter if some cities didn't participate to the war...no matter if romans had greek allies,or you really think that rodians really helped,with some slingers and ships,the romans against antiocus?and i remind you that romans were outnumbered in greece,as well as in macedon,as well as in turkey

  • at least here there are also informed people,who really know history...

  • yes Greeks were rich and they were not in Crisis but they lost because they were not united. Romans would never defeat a united Greece. Romans used the divide and Conquer tactic.

    And Romans always had as allies the Achaeans against the other Greeks.

  • part 2

    btw I love Rome but I have to say they have been very lucky

    1) Hannibal waited one day to attack, this day saved rome

    2) Greeks were not united

    3) Gauls were not united, if they all followed Vercingetorix, Romans would never prevail

    Whenever Romans had no luck they always were beaten, Look at Parthans and Germans and Huns.

  • but i have to admit that what really entertained me is that they said that romans used the numbers and greeks were in crisis... everyone who knows history knows that greece wasn't in crisis...on the contrary macedon was rich at that period...and about the numbers,romans were outnumbered in all the wars against greeks,macedonians and seleucids...in reality there's a lot of things to say,but i think this is a waste of breath...there's nothing worse than an ignorant sure of what he's saying...

  • they are all saying impressive things...they said that the greek hoplites were more mobile and stronger than the macedonian phalanx...they confused the parthians and the sassanids with the achaemenid persians...and they said that romans losed to them...and for those who said tha contrary...romans have beaten pyrrhus...and a lot of things that are unbelievable...

  • there are two kinds of people who don't accept the military superiority of romans over greek:the biased(greeks who are generally irrecoverable,and more brainwashed than the germans in world war II,or lovers of greek history who know all except greek and roman warfare),and the ignorant(people of all nationality who saw 300...and now think they know history)...all these people are a concentrate of ignorance...

  • by the time the romans had gotten around to fighting the successors, the greeks were in decline. the reason why the romans beat the greeks was not because the greek system was inflexible and rigid (contrary to popular belief), it was becuase the greeks did not have enough funds to support a decent arm of heavy cavalry, which was needed to support the flanks of the phalanx.

  • if the greeks had been able to use heavy cavalry to decisive effect in their battle against the romans, there is little doubt that they could have won.

  • Comment removed

  • the greeks didnt have pikes that long in reallity. the used 9 feet long spears (doru) not 16 feet ones as portrayed in rtw.

  • The Macedonian phalanx used the sarissa that was sometimes over 18 feet long.The older Thebes plalanx also used long spears (unknown length) and beat the Spartans with those.You can't say "Greeks didn't have pikes that long" cause some did,but not all

  • @immortal4942 they had 5-6 metres pikes

    macedonians had sarissa

  • @immortal4942 That's not absolutely really, the Northern Greeks (Macedonians) were using 16-19 ft spears to perform the Macedonian phalanx called the Sarissa.

    The Spartan an the other southern Greeks used shorter pikes beycause they carried bigger shields than the Maxedonians.

  • @immortal4942 true but they did go on to get 16 and 18 Foot long pikes later in history

    BTW dovlex nice job on the movie!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i wish the world stil faught with swords and stuff..... would be way more awesome

    if the world was also in a state of war just marching all proud with a sword and sheild or spear or a bow

  • i haven't played rtw in 2 years because my friend borrowed my cd and didn't return it and my dad sold the cpu with the rtw game inside XD

  • are the romes the gold or the silver

  • The romans are the ones in dresses, the greecks are the ones in the skirts :). and please, know you're history and you would know.

  • Ooor, you could say, the greecks have the mohawks and the romans the pony tails :)

  • nice movie...really felt realisctic. Love the soundtrack

  • The big thing the Romans brought to the table at this era was the use of quicker smaller formations, and phenomenal swordsmanship the Greeks couldn't hope to match. It's interesting to see how this cycle would later be repeated by the Spanish sword and buckler men who were devastating against pike formations.

  • i thought a onager rock would hit the last hoplight that would of made my day

  • I think if it were a battle concerning smarts, the Greeks would win. But like Demandred and I continue to stress, they weren't united, so if they had been I think they could of put up a pretty darn good fight. Hitman is right though. It is impossible to say how the Greeks would fare against Rome's five good emperors. Truthfully, the only ones I like are Marcus Aurelius and Antoninus Pius. There are admirable qualities to both but I like the Greeks more.

  • good jab camera man ,very well done

  • job*

  • I agree in that their military power and strategies were a lot better but that argue that their empire lasted longer is a thin one.

    Also that greeks were to girly? and gay?

    The Greek weren't an united country that's why they weren't such a huge empire.

    Also just like Jwmocha said, the romans copied their gods from greeks and many ideas they just changed their names and few minor things.

  • @Demandred02 Homosexuality in Ancient Greece has nothing to do with the current notion. Today we live in a society were women are equal in numbers and rights with men, hence only those that are born feminine become gay. Back then women were restricted to household and were forced to cover their heads (apart from Spartans) like in modern day muslim countries. Men were absent for very long time periods waging war against other cities, living in barracks with other comrades.

  • @tevang2 There homosexuality was forced to strengthen the relationships between soldiers and be more united in combat. Also the fact that they usually didn't wear any clothes was a means of motivating them to develop a good physical condition. Imagine yourself being raised in a barrack full of naked boys and no girls, and your mentors trying to convince you that having a sexual affair with another man is right...you would become gay. I know is sick. I just don't agree with the term "girlie".

  • @Demandred02 actually, rome was a greek city state, much like alexandria, one of the many outside Greece. The "Greeks" also had many large empires, just with fighting amongst themselves as well as others, they didn't last. The empire of Alexander the great for example was one of the largest in the ancient world. Macedon was also a greek city state. But most empires lasted only one or two generations. The Athenian empire, lasted only 50 years.

  • @Demandred02

    There was no such thing as Gay or straight in antiquity those are modern concepts, The only distinction was Top, bottom the dominate and the passive,The ancient Greeks sexual norms were not unique or any different then their contemporaries and it was almost exclusively the elite that engaged in pederasty ,Effeminacy was met with greater hostility in that period of history then in our own contemporary culture because of the level of misogyny & Machoism.

  • @Demandred02 the greeks werent that big as an empire? gay? everywhere were gays and read more history if u are about to make this kind of comments

  • @number11jaanz are u a dumb ass the greeks were taken when they were about six years old and basically tortured to become the amazing warriors they were... so ur callin greeks gay but the fact is u really dont know anything about the greeks they had SPARTAN warriors which were one of the best warriors in history so take a spartan shield and hits ur self in ur balls and head.... trust me it hurts motherfucker!

  • Sorry, but the Greeks were original. The Romans took a lot of their ideas from engineering, architecture, art, and military weapons, let alone their mythology. Some aspects of this game are unrealistic. They give Rome too much of an advantage. You have to remember that back then, the city-states of Greece weren't really united, so it obviously would be easy for the Romans to conquer them. Don't get me wrong, Romans are my second favorite of ancient civilizations.

  • Roman vitcory!

  • and you should not take alot of deaths unless they have siege equipment if they do send caverly to attack in hit and runs they should leave them to fiht the caverly

  • one of the ways to win campagin as greeks is have an army with spartans and archers and the best caverly you will use the archers as the enemies march towards your phalanxes and the spartans will do the rest then use the caverly to do a mop up of any surving troops

  • Wow

    Perfect Camera!

    That was very good

    Waiting for the next one^^

  • the game is rome total war??

  • really nice camera work roman victor!

  • Wow. today they only use buttons and missiles.

  • OMG!!! This was GREAT!!! AMAZING camera work!! And good historical accuracy! This is exactly how the Romans defeated the Greeks! I'm not sure if you knew that or not but it is. Pester their phalanxes with javelins and arrows then CHARGE!!!!! Lol XD LOVED IT!!!

  • if G vs R its better to have more troops then other.phalax is hard to defeat from the front but sides are vunarable and they have no other heavy infrantry to protect their sides

  • Sick Game =]]]]

    Carthaginians Own always =]]]

  • if you can't win without ussing elephants sht up, please? ussing elephants is easy

  • Brotha i dont need elephants to win =]]]]

  • well then that alot better =P, i prefer seleucid empire, they got huge spears hehe, one solid infantry block and some heavy cavalry, victory is mine

  • fuck yea the seleucids own too =]]

  • Seleucids own even more!

  • oh MAN! i thought you were playing as the greeks there for a second.

  • when i play this game i can only play as theromans and i hate playing as the romans how do i play as a different faction plz get back to me

  • This is a custom battle. You should be able to play the greek cities in a custom battle. If you have done the roman campaign you should also be able to play the greek campaign. There is also a cheat or something to be able to play all factions but i don't know how that works.

  • you can easy unlock the factions ;) just look in your folder from rome total war or download the RTW tool :) have fun ;)

    gleke

  • you have to destroy the faction that you want to play as WITH one of the roman factions. to play as the greeks, you only have to capture like 4 settlements... it ain't that hard.

  • dude wars back in da day were sooo much cooler!! lool its stupi now adays like u push a butten and sum1 dies halway around the earth!! lool sure war isnt worth it no matter what but still

  • wtf u cant say anithing u americians have wot 400 years worth ov history mate i dnt no anithing bwt dis stuff aniway all america is is 1 big plce wer foreigners move 2 so ders no such thing as puier americians u sound lyk u shud learn more stuff man lol

  • you should learn to spell before you insult someone

  • Sorry, i didn't understand anything you wrote there buddy.

  • no pure americans? wat about indians huh dude you need a history book

  • ahahahaha the greek guy in the end!!! so funny XD

    cool video

  • That's a joke lol... when I was greeks I fucking smashed the Romans. Eygpt and Macedonia were the only hard factions I faced. I've won battles with 5 groups of armored hoplites against 15 tripii (don't remember how to spell it.

  • Rome kick Greece

  • youve read your history, notice the roman checker board formation

  • wow nicely put out vid of this battle

  • guys is the seluciad empire playable??

  • Yes, but you either have to defeat it or win as a non-Roman faction first - either that or do a bit of simple modding.

  • I would pick the Greeks everytime over the Romans

  • same here

  • well the greeks or any other of the diodachi factions but yes, same

  • when is was playing greek i kick the roman ass so badly

  • cmon greece and italy fucking brothers!!!

  • when i play this game i alway play as greece cuz of the falanx i alway make a circle and i u do it right u cant lose a battle even if outnumdered. someone try it and get back to me

  • yes somthing like my tactic but when egypt attack me they have so fucking many archers and i must attack them every time.

  • @KELZO1984 You do know that if you go into the game files you can let other Factions have those units

  • Rome f***...W the Greek!!!!

  • Romans were more.If romans atack the falanx,you DONT MOVE the falanx,you just wait so the half roman batallion dies instandly.Also the Greeks were better and if you putted to them some support troops also,they would have win

  • yes only in game, when play agains computer.

    Greece are asskick but selucid is stronges faction in game.

  • selusid are also a Greek kingdom after Alexanders death.

    Also friends listen this:Let the political propagandas aside,and don't let the south slavs convince you that Alexander and the macedonians were not Greeks.Just let you know

  • they were another nation idiot.

  • @Galuadan its phalanx

  • @Galuadan Yah like Dovlex said...In game when your agenst a computer....And anyways...In RL....Greece had NOOO chance agenst Rome...Or atleast in the ancient times when they were both powerful

  • how did you do that with the camera

  • ROMAN S*** :D long live the german tribes

  • It looked like Rome was getting demolished, but then they came back!

  • Hey guys do not forget how many times WE the greeks fought between us.. Athens vs Sparta vs Megara vs Korinthos.... One city state always wanted to have the control of all Greece.. What's an important reason how we fell by Macedonians and Romes.. Besides city states were the reason who defeat the great Persian Empire.. And under The Great Greek Macedonian Alexander Greece was again unites.. 2 times WE fought as Greece and were enough to leave our mark:)!

  • Hey, guys just remember how Greece fall by Macedonia and Rome... The only thing WE used to do is civil war. Athens vs Sparta vs Megara vs Korinthos vs Crete.... Simply one city-state wanted to have control of all country... Besides a city states have stoppen The Great persian empire... one of the few tinmes Greeks were united.. and again under The Great Greek Macedonian Alexander... 2 times of the greek union were enough to leave our mark..!!!!!

  • Man, that's a shitload of units on battlefield!! How you did that?? Is there a way to break the fucking unit limit? Great video though!!

  • You should do a vid with the Macedonians against the roman legions. I always played with the Macedonians and even on the hard battle settings I always kicked Rome's ass, even if I was outnumbered. The phalanx, if used wisely, is just an amazing weapon!

  • well done

  • etc. So in the end, both were great. I prefer the Greek history but still I loved the Roman empire. Sorry theres some errors and that it went on forever, and I know theres lots more, but I don't want to keep you reading.

    ~Sensi

  • They would've been repelled. The greeks didn't take italy as a threat, even Alexander considered trying to conqueor to the West after taking Babylon. However the Roma area was still uncontrolled and considered nothing to be feared, and so it was thought as nothing. I would've loved to see some-sort of memorable war against Rome and Greeks. However all good empires come to an end. Eventually the Romans well into the same trap as Greeks, they split into two, feuds, rebellions....

  • often in the centre line. They wen't on to great things and were the greatest empire of all time. However could've Greeks/Macedonians conqueor Rome if they were in there prime? There would be a good chance. Greeks didn't just have phalanxs, they also had Hypaspists who were in many ways a fighting force, they were just as strong in many aspects and could've, but Rome hit them when they were weak, if Rome had developed 200 years before they started seiges on Greeks.

  • When they invaded Greece and Macedonia, it was an easy taking, most of Greece was taken over fairly easily and Macedonia still wasn't anywhere near fit for a fight. Rome in a way gave Greeks freedom and let them keep there cities, but there was some rebellions, but they were easily squashed. Rome wen't on to conqeuor much of what Alexander had conqueored and even more, they also adopted the Phalanxs formation as-well, but it wasn't as popular as the Testudo, but it was still used, and used

  • town/small cities for land. They eventually a large area of Italy and versed many barbarians from the Southern area, they eventually won, took all of Southern italy and started to build up there armies. Eventaully they started there campaign, making a small 'human' wall across the Northern part of Italy as outpost of attacking and defending legions. They got inspiration from the Greeks in their architecture (sorry if I spelt it wrong) and then started to create large fortifications.

  • It then took Thrace and killed there king and even made plans of taking over the Persian Empire, sending fleets to clear a path, but once again the Greeks turned against him on the worst possible time and sent there armies over to the Persians as a sort of alliance, even though they were once ruled by them.

    Alexander wouldn't have gotten where he was without Philip.

    Rome was still developing when most of this was happening, and they were originally farmers towns which fought with other...

  • Macedonias Phalanxs and even get the original lands back from his surrounding nation. He then went on to get more of his South-East land back from the Greeks who were currently city-states. Created alliances with Athens and then take over all of Greece except the reluctant Sparta (will need to research if they did or didn't take sparta.) and then created a new foundation for the greek states so they were still 'not ruled' by 'Macedonian Barbarians' but as Philip as a representative.

  • The topic of the Greeks and Romans has been a debate for many years. Greeks could've ruled the world and Roma if they were so stubborn. Instead of holding the loose nation together after Alexanders death, the generals fought for succession and eventually broke apart. I love Philip, Alexanders Father who ruled before him. He took the throne of Macedonia when it was in the worst possible state, when Thracians, Ill. etc were on his back and he still was able to defeat them, reform the milita of....

  • that was sweet

  • greece is now greece again and rome is well italy

  • lol i've pwnd all greeks after four days

    first day i didnt destroy any faction

    second day i destroyed macedon and thrace

    third day i destroyed greek cities

    fourth day i utterly destroyed selucids

    this is the fourth day :b

    ps. its on hard.

    even though i destroyed all these factions i can only play as some af them. and no i didnt just outlast them i destroyed them. its the second campaign in witch i destroy macedon. why can i only play as some of them???

  • I have to say that was a great simulation of pre-marius warfare. Nice overall camera moving to!

  • Romans wiped out the spartans guys...lol

  • dude what is this game i want it !!!!

  • Rome total war. An awesome game, but maybe go for Medieval Total war 2, the graphics are EVIL!

  • rome total war

  • plus why dont you give the Romans some Urban Cohort and some Praetorians instead of Hastati n shit.. You used the Greek Elite (Spartans) so why dont u use the Roman Elite

  • the Spartan sticked to traditional forms of tactics and the Romans adapted to more modern conventional means, which is why Greece got OWNED. they hardly put up a fight or else it would say more in the history books about it. since Carthage actually gave Rome a challenge its noted alot in history text books.the Last Samurai for example. the reason why the samurai got pwnd is cuz they stickd to traditional warfare techniques while the other army adapted to modern, efficient tactics//techonogies.

  • omne thhings ibve notices works if you set your hopilites up lite /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ your flanks stay relativley secur and if any ifantry charfe you one of thier flanks it automaticly opened up to the other side of the V

  • Another thing is the reason the romans infantry is kept so spread out like that is so you can have room to move around and flank with that set up something ass simple asn haveing one unit halt 10 feet behind the other would give you an opening in the phalanx to sweep through and cause chaos with

  • Roman strategy was blow the shit out of with artilery and archers then send in infantry to clean up survivors

  • both empires are good at warfare..But no empire lasts long..both greek and romans had their downfall at some point of the time..And in my own opinion, if the greeks and romans will have a fight, i bet the romans will win..why?coz the greeks dont USUALLY sue archers but slingers instead and they dont have much artillery..unlike rome, they use a massive amount of archers and artillery which they have as an advantage..and the phalanx formation wont work on the romans..

  • the greeks didn't have an empire until alexander the great walked in. before that it was all independent city states.

  • the spartans may have started fighting from an early age but they stuck to much to tradition and didnt modernise their warfare style which led to their defeat many times not only to other greek city states such as athens but also to the romans. the phalanx was obsolete by the time the romans came along

  • The palanx sucks. It's inferior to a Roman turtle formation which allows a chance for more flexibilty even while heavily covered.

  • the phalanx was 1 of the greatest formations in all of greece. The testudo is the weakest formation u dumbass!!!!!!

  • The testudo allowed more flexibility rather than standing like a retard statue with the phalanx. No wonder the Greeks lost to the Romans. Stop watching 300 and open a historyh book. Asshole.

  • obviously i've read more history books than u have b cuz the greeks were THE GREATEST WARRIORS IN MILITARY HISTORY!!!!!

  • The greatest warriors were the Romans. If the Greeks, were so good, they would have beaten Rome, but the Romans beat the Greeks when they Greeks were at their best.

    So learn history again fagboy.

  • if the romans were so "good" then y did they loose against the weakest race of all time - the persians?! who's the fagboy now bitch?!
