Rome : Total War HD Alexander Campaign commentary Part 4

[GENNAVISOIN]

you know, you can just put around...4 hopolites in each town on the mainland and they will never fall.

[albertriera777]

you got long campaign,right ???????

[dachicagoan]

During battles, use the pause button so you have time to react to attacks. For example @ 12:05 their units attacked your right flank. You could have paused and clicked for your cavalry and infantry to attack them, you would have had less losses in that attacks and you could have attacked them head on. And another thing, you have to always be vigilent of the whole battlefield - the enemy shouldn't be able to surprise attack you like that.

[Slickpc]

I want to see you VS princeofmacedon

[ladner10]

there is a second way to cross the river why you didnt use it for your cavalry

you were able to hit your enemy in the back

[hankock1015]

You are a Macedonian Hannibal from Sparta. you a re a mix of Alexander the Great, Hannibal, and Leonidas.=D

[Chickenwing1313]

Best tactic for the bridge battle is to make a "V" shape with and extra unit at the vertex of the v, that way you get maximum damage.

[way2tehdawn]

The bridge battle reminded me of the song Break on Through by the doors. My one criticism would be you missed a chance to run your cavalry over the shallow point of the river left of thebridge but whatever.

[MrMrGameadict]

heir you could get to the archers by using the shallow water are and attack the archer :)

[TheFallenRedemption]

they die for allah



[yungbergluvr]

this reminds me of 300!

[pokemonmaster894]

what difficulity is this

[nitro112345]

you do know u could of crossed the river to the left of the bridge with your calvary while the persian infantry was held up on the bridge. from there you could destroyed their archers and catch any routing persians

[danbagheri]

Every F***ing game demanises the Persians and glorifies the Greeks largly bc of rasisim

[black00dice]

@danbagheri nothing to do with rasiscm, the Greeks just had better armies and the Persians kings fled if they suspected there lives were in danger on the battlefield

[danbagheri]

@black00dice I dont want to troll but why dont you go study Iranina history. I recomand the book the Iranians. read some Persian sources and than come talk to me. What you say is just wrong.

[black00dice]

@danbagheri no thanks Iranian history is a big no no, i'd be in a coma for weeks

[danbagheri]

@black00dice yes thats why what you say about persian history is so idiotic.

[black00dice]

@danbagheri i never said it was idiotic, ur just putting words into my mouth

[danbagheri]

Every persian king were brave beyond any standards,

[unlucky1353]

@danbagheri Is that why Draius fled so much?

[HeirofCarthage]

@Arvenides It isn't

[HeirofCarthage]

@curevic It is, that is one of the reasons I don't like M2TW, but it is ok I guess,

[jelloball10]

You should make a commentary were we can see you (in real life) destroy your opponents

[HeirofCarthage]

@jelloball10 sorry, but I probably won't

[dachicagoan]

@HeirofCarthage Why didn't you turn your phalanx units to face and advance towards the other enemy formations? @11:45 would have been a good idea to do so. Instead they just stood there and you let a unit get flanked and 4 other units get shot at by archers.

[albertriera777]

@dachicagoan well he could also use the river crossing nearby to blast everything !!!!!!!!!!

[tjet861]

@jelloball10 thats kinda wierd

[cjytotalwar]

Those Mardian Archers have good moral....

[HeirofCarthage]

@cjytotalwar indeed they did

[Eregost2]

At the start of this vid you should have transported your reinforcements via boat. Then you could have killed off the rebels within the turn. Silly mistake to make really :P

[HeirofCarthage]

@Eregost2 I hardly use boats, so I never think of it

[LongyBruun]

At the bridge battle you could have crossed the river on the left with your cavalry. The chariots would still have posed a danger to your horses.

[HeirofCarthage]

@LongyBruun didn't notice it

[rulerdeath20]

haha my name is Darius badass

[HeirofCarthage]

@rulerdeath20 yep old Darius was Alexanders's nemesis, course there were several persian kings by that name

[fty170]

@HeirofCarthage yea but it was the faction leader and the second half of alexanders campaigns were to kill him(maybe im worng but he tried really hard to, i read a book about it)

[Dperk94]

did you know that further up the river you could have crossed it with your cav (its a lighter shade of water) and you could have had off with the archers while the immortals held down the bridge?

[HeirofCarthage]

@Dperk94 I just didn't notice it

[ElMikkino]

It always brings a little smile to my face when an enemy commander is named Arses...

[YOKTES2YOUVIDS]

@ElMikkino not as bad as a gen called "sextus maximus"and yes that can happen in rtw :)

[LeeroyJenkinsstudio]

@YOKTES2YOUVIDS That's better than Bigus Dickus.

[boyxgamer]

@LeeroyJenkinsstudio or Naughtius Maximus

[HeirofCarthage]

@ElMikkino yea it is funny

[WorldChampInfinity]

Instead of worrying about Alexander dying, just save before each battle so you can be aggressive with him. =)

[HeirofCarthage]

@WorldChampInfinity I could do that, and I am aggressive with him, his unit killed darius in one of the battles I fought, I didn't get it on film :(

[nomadballer93]

thumbs up if you were watching this while eating dinner!

:D

[HeirofCarthage]

@nomadballer93 Can't say I was, but it works

[fenrir23456]

Heir, you should definitely field a secondary army in Macedon/Greece and bring em north over the black sea and hit the persians/ barbarians from behind, make the Black Sea a Macedonian lake! lol.

[HeirofCarthage]

@fenrir23456 I need to send one north and one south, alexander right down the middle

[ertyuiopsnake]

was alexander a general/ruler of rome or carthage or greek ect

[Shadowdoctor117]

@ertyuiopsnake he was the king of macedon which is pretty much greek

[clonecommando07]

@ertyuiopsnake He was the king of Macedon and that is greek.

[rboss0]

what is the difficulty? hard-hard? or what. please reply

[HeirofCarthage]

@rboss0 think it is med med

[TheWoodstock2009]

looks like darius's unit is programmed to run away!!that's really realistic!!!

[debuxman]

@TheWoodstock2009 not unrealistic (darius really did it), but real stupid... hate scripted shit

I wonder if harder difficulty avoids that

[Eregost2]

@TheWoodstock2009 Thats not Darius the king. Its just a random general.

[HeirofCarthage]

@TheWoodstock2009 Darius was in one of these battles, and I killed him, didn't get it on film

[kuro450]

4:42 they are not attacking because when you have infrantry units(and behind the cav)they don't attack because of the cav

[HeirofCarthage]

@kuro450 indeed

[CluelessPictures]

the AI actually made a half way smart move! they weakened your forces with archers, fell back. and when you pursued you got ambushed.....too bad the AI is HORRIBLE on the battlemap

[HeirofCarthage]

@CluelessPictures Yea they played ok

[iamrandom123456789]

my goodnees that light can moves fast 10:46

[HeirofCarthage]

@iamrandom123456789 they are real quick on RTW

[iamrandom123456789]

what kind of mic do you use?

[HeirofCarthage]

@iamrandom123456789 I have a logitech usb headset. Cost like 30 bucks

[B0zz3]

exellelente!

[HeirofCarthage]

@B0zz3 thanks

[SkullMech]

The Bridge is not the only cross point in this map. There is a part of the river to your left where you could swing your calvary out to attack the persian archers as your infantry are holding the bridge.

[HeirofCarthage]

@SkullMech yea... I didn't pay attention

[Thereisalwaysmore]

Hey on the first battle I think you could have moved you Cav. up the river. Because there was this one lighted path, maybe it was a shadow or light error but it looked leveled enough that you could have used it to move you cav. faster than crossing the bridge.

[HeirofCarthage]

@Thereisalwaysmore I could have, I just didn't notice it

[spearadollar]

i love how they retreat into the pikes

[HeirofCarthage]

@spearadollar I sure don't mind it :)

[Dspfan123]

been a while eh?

[HeirofCarthage]

@Dspfan123 yep

[Beamer101011]

Keep up the good work!

[HeirofCarthage]

@Beamer101011 Thanks
