Time Commanders - Battle of Gaugamela

[MrSemajtoyou]

Those people saying didn't the persains have chariots I think u r confusing this battle with the first of the major 3 battles between darius and Alexander there was a chariot charge in that 1 but it was easily repelled

[TehLawnmowerMan]

I feel like the person controlling the Persians went a bit easy on them. The real Alexander had to devise ingenious and innovative ways of attacking the Persians to win Gaugamela, these guys won with a failed cavalry charge and a thinly spread frontline... They didn't even use any hammer & anvil attacks... I'm calling bullshit on this win.

the emperor is dead lol

[TehLamzaks]

I would laugh my ass off, if I would hear something about gold/gold upgrades xD

[nuckingfutsguy]

they're playing rome tw? respect

[Tareltonlives]

This is a key example of a good plan overcoming bad execution

[innit27]

they missed out the persian chariots attack

[PhalangitePower]

these guys suck...but at least they won

[guilemaster147]

@PhalangitePower Games are a lot easier to play when you are directly giving orders. They have to relay the plans to others, which makes it 10x as difficult.

[PhalangitePower]

@guilemaster147 ehh true. at least they won lol. thts all tht counts.

[PhalangitePower]

these guys suck...

[Odysseus1ful]

why are they missing chariot

[masterninjaman1]

Whats with the greek hoplites?

[masterninjaman1]

@masterninjaman1 The macedonian phalangites were different

[PhalangitePower]

@masterninjaman1 in the battle of gaugemela alexander did have some greek allies and mercenaries.

[WoWHaZ51]

Wow that presenter is a right twat isn't he :/ other than that this was a amazing show and i have always loved it ^_^ nice vid mate thanks for uploading it :D

[davidwie]

didn't Darius also use like 300 sythed chariots?

and didn't alexanders squad actually attacked Darius' squad when he fled?

[emperorfrance]

are they fighting the AI? there very into this game arent they?

[BloodiestMargie]

@emperorfrance Considering the way the AI tends to play, I highly doubt that.

[puchy110]

@emperorfrance actually it's a modified AI that's programmed to behave like the real enemy commander would

[emperorfrance]

@puchy110 if it's so smart they should put it into the actual game.

[puchy110]

@emperorfrance well this was a game engine the programmers used, not the actual game, and Darius III was actually an idiot in history

[stucar92]

They used Rome Total Wars soundtrack x).

[Atomnyul]

Hm... It's true that the Diadochos states mostly survived until the Roman conquest, but battling each other, lavishing their strength in those fights, finally weakening themselves seriously enough to be destroyed by other nations. I don't think it's the way he wanted things to happen. But then again, who am I to guess what he thought? :) So I think we are both right, from two different points of view.

Anyhow, thanks for uploading this video, I enjoyed it very much. :)

[BloodiestMargie]

@Atomnyul Doesn't change their status. That's like claiming the Roman Empire ceased to exist after 476 AD. In fact, the "Roman" Empire technically survived until the 1400s AD (though we tend to call it the "Byzantine" Empire in retrospect)

My point being, I'm obnoxious

[stucar92]

@BloodiestMargie very true I agree with you.

[IAmSmokingDank]

are you from the UK?

[BloodiestMargie]

@IAmSmokingDank  No

[BloodiestMargie]

Youtube blocked my video of the Battle of Gaugamela from "Alexander" for a "worldwide" audience, while still technically "public", Someone check to see if you can view it, and from what country

[Comptech224]

Wow, they got Alexander killed? Jesus, how would that have changed stuff. My god.

[Atomnyul]

@Comptech224 From the viewpoint of history, it would be a great change. From Alexander's it's only a matter of 8 years. He died, his empire fallen apart anyways. Changing the history forever, I must admit. :)

[BloodiestMargie]

@Atomnyul His empire didn't fall apart for another 300 years
