  • HOW MANY FRANCE VS BRITAIN BATTLES CAN THERE BE.

  • It takes a good general gains respect through his victories, a great general gains even more respect through admitting his defeats. Good game POM

  • did you ever try luring some of his line infantry into 2-3 squads of skirmishers,from the history books i know that this move can win entire battles,like mongols,they use this manuveir every time,chaching with light cavalry and leading the enemy to the main force,like at the battle of tanenberg (Zalgiris)Grand duke Vytautas used this to crush the teutonic order (for people who don't know)

  • wow he actually lost

  • Btitain all the way. Yoeeb is well good

  • christ the prince got beat

  • Hopfully this guy has no life and is only acting in this way of boasting to gain some self confidence in his life.

  • I believe this might be the same guy I played one time, on the same map. I won, however, he made a lot more mistakes in placing his army then he did with you. then as i was winning he said "got to go" and claims i wasn't winning...*sigh* its like really man, chill, its a game lol. anyways, know how you feel man :) great gaming

  • It was funny. One day i let my eight year old cousin play this while i went running for wrestling, and when i came back he had gotten a close defeat against yoeeb. Later, i got a message from his saying that he destroyed me, and that he was the best general ever. I told him that he had been playing my eight year old cousin and he freaked out. It was rather amusing.

  • wat a camping faggot

  • id love to see prince and yoeeb on rtw

  • You at first were doing great. Very nice tactic. I just got this game and im always the french. I used the tactic but I didnt keep any in the center. I sent half my force to the right and the half to the left and just closed in. I was fighting my brother and I totally killed all of his men.

  • @bowiebackyard I believe that tactic is called double invelopment? or something of that nature

  • i talk french

  • Hes still new at NTW, I bet if it was on RTW he would have won.

  • I think if you would have token out his artillery earlier in the game, your line infantry would still have full pop in them and they would have been able to fight better

  • Finally I found one of your videos where you failed. Found this really interesting :D . You are fallible.

    It's interesting to dissect this fight because your opponent was definitely at least comparably matched. Seeing how things went was really fascinating.

    Good to see! You're a good sport about the loss too, I could tell it hurt a bit at 7:34.

    I find it hard to play competitively in this, losses and failures always seem so dramatic!

    Good to see though.

  • Wats the name of the parady?

  • They shouldn't add flat maps, a good commander must be able to adapt to his circumstances. You're good but no flat maps please.

  • Adapt and lose :).

  • lol the parody of this one is sooo funny you gotta c it

  • you should face austirefidelis that would be a REALLY good video

  • but how can the enemy not see them?

  • in this battle you show up in blue but in others your in red why is tht anyone please reply i kno he wudnt lie

  • yoeb DOES seem like a pesty rival/fan XD

  • how can some guys be hidden?

  • they hide in tall grass

  • hey prince. i love that video response XD! did u watch it?

  • Cheap strategy on Yoeb's part but saying he sucked is a heavy exaggeration.

  • He should have done a mass charge up the center

  • This is the Anatolia map right?

  • Errm I have a few questions to ask here; When a player camps why is it best to open up his defences???, if you have infantry superiority, why not just go for a massive charge and defeat their infantry??? and last question, how come its harder to attack than defend??? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers :D

  • because if you open up his defenses, you can split the battle into different sections and relay on those specific troops to do their job, then attack another section from the flank. and its easier to defend because usually you can get the first shot off your opponent and you can fortify your troops in a number of ways to make it harder to break for the attacker

  • well in the "massive charge" as u suggested, you're gonna incur massive casualties as u move ur guys into position.

  • Q: When a player camps why is it best to open up his defences?

    A: Because if has deployed intelligently, facing his defensive army head on without manouvering means you'll usually lose, from the hill disadvantage, and better preparation.

    Q: If you have infantry superiority, why not just go for a massive charge and defeat their infantry?

    A: That is what you should do. But as yooeb had a slight hill advantage, the PoM decided to go for the artful approach and outplay him on the flanks.

  • Q: How come its harder to attack than defend?

    A: Simple, attacking requires you to do more manouvering.

    So the pressure is on you in the battle, making the first move, management of your forces as your less-than-pretty formation breaks up in the attack, prying open your opponents defences, doing all these things....while the defensive player, and this is even more exaggerated on a hill, can just sit there and w8 for a good counterattack moment.

  • Would be cool to see you verse yoeeb on the new grasslands map. Even though he abused imbalanced map terrain, it is clear he was a decent player.

  • Well, I'm a complete beginner at this game. And he still had a hard time winning even though he had the terrain advantage.

    I don't care if people camp, though; but his poor attitude after the game is what drove me nuts the most. He sent me private messages talking about how he "annihilated" me, and that he's a "great general."

    I didn't care for his arrogance, and I didn't care for his camping tactics.

  • @PrinceofMacedon hey, i was going to buy a Etw game, should i get rome or empire?

  • Great Battle, like a mini Waterloo.

  • no offence but the parody of this is hilarious

  • don't take it personal but this is the first battle I even seen you be deafeted but it was a good game and I think your opponet desevse a victory from you : )

  • I suck at Empire Total War. Anyone can beat me at this game. But Rome Total War is my specialty.

    Also, all he did was deploy his troops. He didn't move them after deployment. This is how all of his battles are. He deploys, and then he sits there. And afterwards, he sends you private messages about how he "annihilated" you, and how he's a "great general." No joke.

  • @PrinceofMacedon

    I just faced him about 5 mins ago and he beat me since he was hill camping and didnt move a single inch i hate this kid he did the exactly the same thing to me as he did to you in this video i normally dont hate people who camp or what not but its been over a year now and he hasnt change his tactics not even slightly and after the game he sent me private messages saying i destroyed and he was the "Worlds best general" man i hated him now i see why you never did aremacthwithhim

  • @PrinceofMacedon u say u suck at empire yet this and 30 are the only battles if seen u lose

  • @PrinceofMacedon And so the First World war lives on. It's hard to find somebody willing to use manuever tactics in a Napoleanic theme war. You're excellent at this game, and he forced you to play to his advantage by being cheap. You took risks, and made a DAMN good video out of it.

  • I hate playing yoeeb everytime I did he just got about 7 or 8 ferguson riflemen 4 or 5 cavalry then 2 or 3 like and 2 24 pounders none of my army was effective but I was a noob and this was like 4 months ago

  • in war there are no rules camp or not camp dont cry

  • Yeah, But this isn't war, it's a video game, and video games are pointless if one player is given an unfair advantage.

  • Prince had a pretty good run there. First one I have seen him lose : ( oh well. The other guy didn't realy win in my opinion cause he's a fat camper

  • whats with the guy at 04:31

  • This just shows the overpowered repeating rifle light infantry, ferguson rifles and windbuche jaegers. They are basically IWIN buttons since they outclass all other rifles by a huge margin.

  • yoeeb looks like a good player but come on defending for 3 games straight thats pathetic

  • if all he does is use light infantry, just make an entire army of cavalry and artillery

  • Thats a mistake bro, from what I know of the imperial era, when useing cavalry in this time period, they would be mowed down by the infantry not to mention your oppenents cav and art are always a waverying factor not to mention the hill advantge this guy has, artillery would be effective but do to slow movement and loading they'd be a cost effect. Of course I haven't played ETW but from playing others and being a history buff I can make a good guess as to what would happen.

  • hmm maybe? maybe not?

  • Is there anything i realy need to buy extra for this game oh and rock on prince ya i want to play you when i get this game so look out!hahahahahahahahahah

  • its funny tat people would hate comment,i personally think its a joke and funny poeple defend there gaes to much,nerds...........

  • What!? thats obscure but funny so whatever!

  • how computer do you actually have??

  • don't say noob, if you were in their position, during a REAL LIFE battle I bet everyone would camp. camping is a very very effective strategy, but if its the only strategy you use, then yeah your a noob.

  • its not his only strategy. but i agree. except for one fact where the term "noob" is a more offensive term of "newb" which is a less offensive term for newbie meaning new player....yea.... anyways. its called STRATEGY people. a lot of commanders would rather defend than attack. defending gives the possibility of having time to stand still and see how the opponent attacks using hgih ground is also strategy. @the POM fans: dont insult Yeoob just cause POM lost to him. its strategy get over it.

  • lol i was expecting to get bashed by one of his fans first XD

  • I think the attempted flanking maneover significantly weakend Prince's army. It was too much to hope the Yoeeb would not have noticed. The flanking would have worked only when the armies were distracted.

  • you should have resevered ur calvary until the end i think u would have won then

  • I don't know the guy had a hill advantge with a solid line of infantry so I'd assume the worst for the calvary but heck I can always be wrong!

  • YOU CANNOT DEFEAT THE BRITISH EMPIRE!!

    especially not with the french man I mean come on

  • But you can defeat Poland...

    Just kidding.

  • i think yoeeb is a noob camper

  • Plus, with higher ground Yoeeb, managed to destroy Prince's cannons, and severly damage the troops.

    There wasn't much he could have done.

  • true yoeeb mans have greater range fire and he didnt move his man.

  • what map is this???

  • looked like you tryed to do what napoleon did in waterloo... cut of the enemy army and take them done one at the time.

  • mate u forget...

    napoleon lost.

  • Can any one tell me what graphics card i should get for my laoptop to play this.

    Hp pavilion tx 2000 Notebook pc

    AMD Turion(tm) 64X2 Moblile Technolagy TL-60

    2GHz

    2gb RAM

    32-bit operating system

    By the way i dnt wanna break the bank so can it be as cheap as posible

  • you need a good processor and much RAM for this game.

    graphics card is more important for first person shooter like crysis.

  • no dishonour loosing to a defensive player who has such high ground

  • that's a very big reserve

  • love that my reserve lol!

  • i think Yoeeb played extremely well, so did pom

  • I agree with Prince, would it kill the developers to put in a grassy plain

  • honestly, people are not using cavalry to their full extent. a single spoiling attack to the front would take out the skirmishers and a pincer movement on the counter-attack on the right and the battle wold have been his...

  • This is cool! I'm going to buy this game tomorrow. Cool online mode! You have very strategic battle plans. It's cool; like a real war lol

  • its now where near real war

  • good strat, though you underestimated the enemy's forces on the right, and you need to protect your general

  • Looks like you overestimated the strength of your right flank and got caught with your pants down when you deployed nearly your entire reserve to the left.

  • Odd how every battle he loses he makes a complaint. 'Needs more flat maps.' or, 'British Guards are OP.'

  • u say that but do u even have the disadvantage or do u always take the advantage terrain

  • no flat maps would make any online games more fair and allow either player to test their manuverability

  • well learn from your defeats macedon

  • 40 year olds? No job? Only posts wins? I play 1 game every 2 nights. It takes me 30 minutes to make a video. When I upload it, I'm either sleeping or I'm out of the house.

    You obviously have no job or life or girlfriend if you're posting this shit on all of my videos. Seriously, get a life. I feel sorry for people like you who get jealous over someone who plays videogames. You must be the most insecure person on this planet to feel so threatened. I pity you.

  • Way to show em.

  • what do you fo for money no trying tpo making an argument just wondering

  • Hey prince i tought u did great game video u deserves to win because yoeed didnt even move and u always have great strategy.

  • All strategies have weaknesses,,,

  • yes but when u camp Ur a NOOB

  • then id guess whenever you fight someone you decide to charge them straight off instead of having your missile units shoot them first? using your missile units to fire would make you a camper, in the end everyone camps. and if yeoob was a noob how come he beat POM? and dont say cause he camped.. thats a strategy commonly used. if yeoob is a noob he should be an easy beat so why dont you go online and fight him. that way we will know.

  • have u see all the other video of yoeeb is only strategie is to buy lots of light infantry and wait for the ennemy to come to him he wont make a move until his ennemy make a mistake. Thats call noob camping. even if u are the best Empire total war player u cant win if ur opposant is waiting for u on a hill with TONS of light infantry.

  • yes i have seen his videos. and personally i still think its strategy. if whoever doesn't think so maybe he should get some powerful cannons to screw up his opponents formation and then take advantage of the opening. every strategy has a weakness and POM didn't find Yeoobs. which apparently as i see it is simply using some cannons. i know camping may seem pathetic. but light infantry have a weakness. and everything has a backside

  • are you saying hes a 40 year old man or a kid lol

  • do you pay to use fraps?cuz i got it downloaded but i dont understand it at all...

  • Even though you lost i think if you werent out numbered you would of won with your strategy :P

  • 2to1

  • What kind of computer do you use when you play this game?

  • his 1 video where he actually moves he almost gets wrecked

  • Oh and also USA tried to free us from british empire, but it didn't work.

  • However, France helped you to gain your independance against England and we fought on your side too (French Canadian/Québec). To say that french or any other people speaking french are cowards or surrender is completly false.

  • pardon my broken english :P

  • Pourtant la France vous a aidé à obtenir votre indépendance face à l'Angleterre et nous aussi l'avons fait, nous nous sommes battus à vos côtés (Canadien Français/Québec). Et dire que les Français ou tout simplement que toutes les personnes qui parlent français sont des lâches et des déserteurs, c'est complètement faux.

  • Je ne sais pas pourquoi c'est si à la mode d'insulter la France ou le Québec. Vous vous sentez inférieur à ce point pour faire cela ?

  • Comment removed

  • because some americans hate the french. why? i do not know.

    parce que quelques americains detestent France et le peuple de France. pourquoi? je ne sais pas.

    pardon my broken french lol

  • Is your new account Heer69??

  • hi i love ur vids

    I just have a question what program do u use to record ur voice? thanks

    Check my vids plz

  • BrilliantGame,, BrilliantCommentator lol i am gettin the game today YEY best game on computer ever :D

  • He has shown his losing vids before

  • hey StefanRamsen learn how to spell.

  • this game dose not suck! The makers cant be perfect! And if you dont think its finished, then make a better one! I would be happy to play it! And the cannons in the game are diffrent, the ones in this particular battle are very accurately designed, so read up on your history before you start making stupid accusations!

  • learning a bit of grammar wouldn't hurt you any.

  • Rofl if you dont like the great game get your ass out and play bad games...try playing Ready to Rumble on Wii.

  • Muskets don't allow you to go prone, idiot. A musket is one step up (or down? I think up) from an Arquebuiser (sp). They're not Mosin-Nagants or Springfields, not AK-74s or M16A2s, but muskets with a range of, what, 150 yards?

  • TOSSER

  • Sorry, Half you`re words were spelled wrong and i could`t understand what you`re going on about.

  • he lost those battles: 21, 28 and 30

  • it would be cool if fire was a factor. so if you know and enemy was in the forest, you can burn them out. or you can burn grassy plains. it would make you think how to avoid the fire and out-flank you opponent. that would be cool

  • I'm also a little disappointed that the trees are not susceptible to artillery fire. In the American Civil War, for example, it was common for batteries to combat the presence of enemy troop in a tree line, by aiming for the tops of the trees, or sending explosive shells into the forest in the hopes of destroying their cover, and scaring the bejeezus out of the men.

  • i have never seen prince of macedon lose damn

  • la french are cool ppl

  • lol "i opend his defense, so how i did that , see how i made his guys go 2 both wings " so funny to me

  • u are great at using tactics some stuff i culd not think of lol but always retreat your men when defeat is certain cuz fightin to the last man will only cost more money to reinforce retreating will allow your men to fight another day for revenge but 5/5

  • it is multiplayer battle ! not campaign battle so...

  • bijcie sie! :D

  • Are there no online maps with these houses that you can use as a defencive position?

  • pc specs

  • yoep aint that hard i beat him like 3 days ago good game though

  • You should have pressed in on their centre when you attacked the flanks, which would have prevented him from defending each flank simulteanously and crushing your army piecemeal.

  • Classic French vs English

  • you playing good player= fun battle

    rolling victories aren't as much fun to watch ^__^

  • i love watching your videos your the best

  • hey PoM... what do you use to record? please pm me or somthing... i just cant get hd vids

  • wow i watched some of ur clips, ur really good

  • thanks, but keep in mind that I suck at Empire Total War. Rome Total War is my specialty (where I'm a top online player).

  • Hate when people abuse terrain.

  • some people it "smart," but these are the same people who corner camp in Rome Total War and Medieval II.

  • prince wer do u live and how old are u?

  • prince have u ever thought about startinghell for flat maps in the empire total war forums?

  • I already did. Also, keep in mind that a lot of people see my videos here.

  • still love ur vids; definately the best on youtube; especially as u dont rely on camping and so are probably the best strategist here, but at least the most interesting.

  • glad you enjoy ;)

  • Historically and for obvious reasons defending was much easier than attacking. A reason the British had such trouble in America during the French and Indian War, 75- 83 war and 1812 war. The British were almost constantly having to dislodge defending armies.

  • Apoligies, I typo'd *terrain*

    Again, great video :)

  • Prince,

    Love all your videos. Really enjoying how you comment on the units, retrain and occasionally history of the units.

    PS

    I hope that if you two meet again, you are able to pummel him!

  • thanks, man, and I beat him in #29 where he didn't have the terrain protecting his army

  • Love all of your videos, keep up the good work!

    Yea, it sucks that he got the hill but it was still a good match.

  • glad you enjoyed

  • There should be an option to give the "attacking force" more gold/units. Thus you could also play battles on favorable terrain which would be defended by the weaker side.

  • ye, you're right it should't be any flat maps.

  • That makes no sense. All of the hardcore Rome Total War players always played on flat maps because it stressed maneuver. It also took away the power of camping.

    Have you played online yet? People are getting 100-0 records due to them hosting maps, and camping on mountains, hill, plateaus, etc. It's funny how none of this existed in Rome Total War or Medieval II Total War because of the existence of flat maps.

    People should have an option between playing balanced or imbalanced maps.

  • When I played Shogun we normally all played the 'TERRAIN HEAVY' maps in non-Honour mode so you gained nothing from winning. It was good fun. The map was Yamato I think, very hilly, but great fun to play on.

  • all im saying is that terrain had a big effect on battles in the gunpowder ge; battle of waterloo revolved around the 2 farmhouses of la haye sainte and hougoumont, so to take that out completely would insane; it could easily become just 2 lines shooting at eachother. i think that the houses and walls should resolve around a more 'take and hold' ethic; whereby it is impossible to camp in order to gain the terrain advantage, by puting things like walls and houses outside the deployment zone

  • i hope by flat map you dont mean a map without any terrain advantage, because if so then i disagree. i think there must be advantageous terrain that can be exploited, but not in the deployment zone, the player should have to move to gain control of it, making it a game of maneuover, not camping. otherwise, the maps would be barren and boring, as is the case in rome, not saying that rome was bad, just that the maps are almost featureless

  • In Rome and Medieval II, you had a choice between flat & balanced maps, and the gorgeous (yet imbalanced) maps. Empire only offers imbalanced maps.

    You would not believe how many people have achieved impossible skill ratings due to them hosting on maps where they get a superior terrain advantage.

    Some people prefer balance for their battles. That's why myself and the other hardcore RTW players always played on flat maps. Camping on terrain just means you got lucky in deployment.

  • i disagree with koroshiya978; as in real life you could only camp if it were a way to achieve your strategic aims; so if you were trying to advance into enemy territory then camping would not be a viable option, so it would not always be valid. also artilley only did more damage when in musket range; using grape shot.

  • all people who camp should be shot

  • Dont worry about it yoeeb is a pussy in all of his matches almost

  • He's a poor-mannered, arrogant player as well. Creepy especially.

  • its cavalry not calvary.

  • at least hes not like that russian commentator who pronounces it "cavalary"

  • i for one, like to camp... just not in fps games, because camping in fps games is pathetic :P

  • by the way, thanks for posting these vids. Theyre some the best actual gameplay footage on youtube

  • glad you enjoy them

  • I think some people are being a bit unfair to yoeeb. In real life "camping" is a valid strategy and artillery killed a heck more people than muskets. I think it does show that E:TW still has many flaws and that TW needs a new way of doing maps. Perhaps adding capture points that force people to split their force up and if someone camps they lose if they don't take any initiative at all.

  • This isn't real life. Also, in real life, both commanders did NOT start off with an equal of resources to work with. If a commander camped on a strong defensive position, the enemy commander would've had more resources at his disposal to uproot him. Here, I have equal money for attacking his defensive position.

    Also, Yoeeb was a bit harsh to me off the battlefield. He's lucky I didn't report everything that he said to me. The only thing I mentioned about him was that he was stalking me.
