@McCoolVIDIO the battlefield between romans and for example gauls was terrefying. there was a lot of blood in those ancient fights. blieve me, you don't want to be there.
funny, they never included those animations in the final game. I would have liked to see soldiers hide behind shields against incoming arrows instead of standing there like a bunch of idiots.
actually the testudo was used in close quarter combat, but only when the barbarians were charging RIGHT at them, but the phalanx ruins mobility and usually didn't work well in open terrain. Unless you have many units
It can't be, I've seen this before there even was a SPQR mod! I'm sure it was used by the devs of SPQR but the people who created it were the people who made the game.
Dude this is the S P Q R mod intro in rome total war !!!! u havent changed it a bit ( ok those annoying slides are done by u but overall this is the intro)
@TheNeoton it is rome total war (barbarian invasion), but not the normal trailer... it is an extra download, you can see this by the better graphics, and the fact that units are mixed...
@brightonhamster yeh the Romans were Hellenistic influenced... Rome was first around in about 740 BC and had first encounter with Greek states quite early (Greek states had cities in Sicily) so... they didn't really copy the etruscans - and 'where' means a place it's FUCKING 'were'! Ge'ez
Romans where probably the ones who where the best at war, not the fighting it self, but preparation and strategy. Of course they where good at fighting as well, but not the best. Awesome video by the way!
@Bidmartinlo What you are saying is maybe that the Romans where more strategical and Tactical, but not the "best fighters" and therefore won their battles. That might be because the Gauls and Germans allowed themselves more room for individual combatry, and because they more than often where stronger than their opponents because of individual strength and normal barbaric way of life, rather than packed formations in which the Greek nations and Romans where so efficient at.
@Bidmartinlo So, fighting is rather an individual skill which is maybe more natural to the barbarians since they where more fierce and stronger due to their way of living.
@Einareen Yes, that's correct! Germanic and Gaul tribes where at war with each other before the Romans decided to conquer! Although the Romans didn't win all the time, especially against Germany.
@Venethor your right, although their was a formation they did when heavily out numberd, form a circle with the shields in layers. ( not put above head though ) i forget its name =/ its going to bug me -__-
@Venethor You shouldn't be, because a powerful infantry or cavalry charge can easily break down the testudo. Unless you have a Superman-style shield arm, you can't stop powerful momentums!
@Venethor ya i could see a incomplete testudo in close quarter fighting thought. Dont want your reserves to be killed by missle fire while waiting for their turn to fight.
@Venethor actually was pretty effective if you could maintain discipline cause you couldn't jump over it like a standard shield wall formation that the legions more generally used
@Venethor yeah it was but it was also used when the romans were outnumbered, so they just lifted there shields and stabbed. exactly like in "300" but with rectangular shields and gladius'
The 'scutum' shield was not taken off any designs other than Roman ones. Each have adapted with different styles i.e. the shield 'wall' with overlapped circular shields. Designed so you stab your weapon from above down on your enemy, the romans had their's..shield went up covering the soldier completely and the sword went up through the belly and up under the ribs. The kite shield later on provided protection from this and styles changed again. adapt i guess..
@brightonhamster They made no fucking ring. They made walls of spairs to maximise the damage made to the front. The flanks had to be overlapped or protected by other type of melee infantry.
1:12 he farted, thats the reason that he made this face
and frustation, actially, testudo, in colse combat, when used good its pretty powerfull, you can literally break the enemy lines loosing 2-3 mens and killinf 30 mens IF well made.
