  • @JHANNIBALDABEAST AN HANNIBAL WAS NEVER FOUND...IF HE WAS MY BLOODLINE WOULDNT BE HERE 2DAY

  • I also made a video on RTW about this battle, have a look on my profile for a nearlly historically accurate version :P.

  • So was Hannibal a good general or not so good? Over all I mean?

  • Amazing! He goes down in history as one of the greats! Read Harold Lamb's book Hannibal: One Man Against Rome. Great read! Explains so much, goes very deep, just like all of Lamb's books.

  • Thank you, I'll pick up Lamb's book.

  • But as he explains here, it did not end so well for him..

  • Lol, ok so I'm not happy with my explanation. Basically the reason Scippio won here was because he understood Hannibal so well, he anticipated everything Hannibal was going to do. Also, he had the Numidean Cavalry which had formerly been under Hannibal's command.

  • Hannibal was a very good comander, personally I do think he did you to much , treachery (Trebia) and ambush (Trasimene) to be the best. He was able to win battles not wars. Crossing the Alps plus Cannae LEGENDARY STUFF

  • Battle interrupted due to a hungry cat XD

  • Your presentations just get better and better.

    I'm off to play the game 'Rome total war'. Now I know how to defeat those pesky Elephants. Keep up the good work.

  • Thanks and ofcourse goodluck with the elephants !

  • By the way, thapsus also featuring disastrous elephants

  • Aha! I was just watching that. I got stomped on. I ain't no general.

  • My advice on Elephants, use them as transports or as food , no battle duty only if you really really have to. I guess in games the Elephants aren't the scarred animals they are.

  • Yes i play Rome total war.

    i got a great tip for you when it comes to elephants.

    Use flamming arrows or spearmen.

    makes them go crazy and trample their own troops! :D

    good luck!

  • Oh cheers for that! I'm a rubbish general. I think I'll do a Caligula and go and collect some seashells:-)

  • very nice video

  • Grazie Mile !

  • He beat him once, and with far superior soldiers. I'm looking at their track record overall. Scipio's record is solid but has no legendary strokes of genius like Hannibal's Cannae.

  • Ilipa is a good example of his military brilliance. But I agree, Hannibal is the better general, considering he was fighting Rome basically by himself, at least in Italy. Just imagine what would have happened if Hasdrubal joined up with Hannibal.

  • There's always the debate over who was the better general, Hannibal or Scipio. I still think Hannibal. It's seems like Scipio had better quality troops during the battle of Zama. Did both sides have ample time to prepare for the battle or were the Carthaginians taken by surprise. It seems like they weren't very prepared for it, too many militia grade troops.

  • Scipio might be considered better since he managed to understand hanibal's tactics and come up with a counter tactic to them

  • Well, it's not as if it's that hard to do something like that considering Scipio had been watching Hannibal for quite some time. He'd come to understand Hannibal eventually, and most of what he learned was from Hannibal himself. Hannibal on the other hand did not watch the Romans to make specific strategies against them, he was just good. I suppose I'm being bias, but eh.. >_>

  • Oh nice great job mate...i watch document about hannibal and this is i heard his last battle ..great stuff mate..didnt know how he lost in this now i get to watch it
