Rome Total War HD Campaign Commentary: Greek City States Part 10

[nikosgeneral]

navy walls ???????????????

[eagleeye7295]

it seems to me that everyone backstabs everyone

[Sparta63129]

The reason their generals are "over powered" is that they fight you with their family member generals. And the AI is a lot better at fighting on hard, they might get a small bonus but you tend to over exaggerate a lot. like this so he can see

[Anaryiros30]

How do you get to choose which empire to start off with? I wanna be the greeks but i start off with the Roman Empire (The Green ones)

[Dev22100]

@Anaryiros30 You have to complete the game first then you can play as greece

[hermanuslinssen]

omg that voice brrr really hate it sorry XD

[NoobSnoopy]

Greek hoplites

best defense units in history of Total War games

[rat14841]

ur awsome

[samsan9]

i think its funny how u hate on the computer

[milke29]

what is the defernce between all the romans

[thejoshknight]

@milke29 just a few special units, and different objectives, but besides that, not much.

[aventaes]

appolonia and thesalonica r the 2 citys

[clonecommando07]

sweet

[RingingFall]

when are u makeing part 11 because i really like these videos and its almost been 2 months

[MrIrishfan1171]

Umm, he did. Part XI

[wolfcity100]

you know whats weird on my greek campaign the enemy renforcements always got to the battle late

[urmomable]

have you made part 11yet

[KingSaw100]

I love these campaigns you make Heir, I am currently trying one as Egypt and they seem very good, they make a lot of money very fast, they have a very good selection of troops and they have a few island settlements, which can be very useful later in the campaign.

[HeirofCarthage]

Egypt will own most factions early in the game because of their archers and what not. The AI always recruits nothing but Pharaoh's bowmen...drives me nuts.

[matthewnut1]

when r u gonna continue the carthage and greek campaigns

[pyromaniac1223]

@HeirofCarthage

yeh after i had won the long campaign with the brutii, i basically had all of europe except for britian, and the egyptians pounded me again and again and i eventually gave up, their ai is freaking insane, theres no way they can make so many units so fast :(

[TriceraTiger]

The name of that Macedonian town is Thesselonica.

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea I went blank

[TriceraTiger]

I get all my campaign ideas from you.

Yesterday, I started a campaign with the Macedonians. Now, even though I took Athens, I lost Corinth, and all my cities are besieged. Also, I am at war with the Greek Confederacy, the Roman Republic (headed here by the Brutus family), and the Kingdoms of Thrace and Numidia.

Any recommendations?

[Averagegamer100]

Sally forth in your besieged cities.

[HeirofCarthage]

I usually try to focus my attention at the beginning, then as my power and money build I will open many fronts. As the Macedonians I would get the Greeks of the peninsula as soon as you can and that will close one war, then push the Brutii back to Italy.

[xAngryGamer]

WOW :O

[HeirofCarthage]

Glad you liked it.

[debuxman]

Nice man. Got me hyped for the next one. Keep it up! I actually thought you were going to corner camp but you did a bold thing there. 5 stars! (actually, I know I can put 5 stars before seeing any of your videos, because they are AWESOME)

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea I will usually only corner camp the AI when I want to win a battle with minimal losses.

[Bismark129]

great vid I remember a similliar seige battle agaibst SPQR when taking rome they had an army inside the city and outside the city I stoped the army outside by capturing all the gateways and they were powerless to stop me from taking Rome

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea I love taking Rome it is usually the high point of any of my campaigns

[GaiusJuliusCeasar97]

another cheap way to win agains the computer is a noob box

[HeirofCarthage]

yes that can work

[aced1592]

please invade Rome.

[HeirofCarthage]

I will take over the Brutii area in Italy soon.

[pwnedyou888]

i cant belive u won that battle i would have ran away probobly when i saw the odds.... i always get scared when they have missle type units and i dont

[HeirofCarthage]

There is always a way to beat the computer I find.

[MrUnclepeanuts]

the only phalanx unit the hastati can kill easily [at least from my experience on my campaign] is militia hoplites

[HeirofCarthage]

That and spear warbands.

[MrUnclepeanuts]

yh lol its ashame the first parts of roman campaign you have to use those heir do you know a cheat to get legionares instead of hastati?

[dcsmith5100]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that has to be the largest slaughter iv ever seen. Stupid Romans

[romanphoenix999]

play a RTW campaign on hard/hard

then the AI has huge armies, but is still not quite as "effective" as a human player xp

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea I hate hard settings because the AI still uses the same sucky tactics, but just has cheatingly high levels of morale for its troops.

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea it was nice.

[sprogmcjob]

what diffucality is this campaign being played on?

[HeirofCarthage]

medium or normal what ever. When you put the PC on very hard they just give the AI units extra morale and their tactics still suck. So then your whole army usually chain routes because the AI has ridiculous morale. I quit playing on very hard after a battle once where a unit of legionary cavalry plowed right into the front of a unit of my sacred band infantry and instantly routed them whilst they were in phalanx mode.

[sprogmcjob]

ya i usally play normal or hard i got sick of hard on campaign playing as romans or creeks because the eygtions have lots of armys just gets boreing and auto manage battles are lame (u lose) at least they are improveing the ai sowly over each game

[sprogmcjob]

what diffucalty is this normal/hard/very hard?

[HeirofCarthage]

I think it is just on normal settings. The PC cheats enough on normal.

[WRH90059]

Great slaughter mate lol it cost half your force but itll be easily replenished

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea one of the Roman generals bodyguard units plowed right through the front of my phalanx and kill half my infantry before they died.

[PatSan1984]

great job heir. However, I think the computer is no match for you. Maybe u could start a RTR VII campaign with carthage, in honour of ur name. It would defenetly be a more challenging and entertaining campaign to watch and plan!

Anyway, good vids

[HeirofCarthage]

RTR campaign is fun, but it is harder than crap not to go broke on it. So right now in the campaign I am having to cheat.

[Knubbgas]

Nice job with the positive income in every city :)

[HeirofCarthage]

Yea I think I am just lucky, that doesn't always happen for me.

[justino4567]

crap ton? that is new...

[HeirofCarthage]

Yes I am pushing to get it addes to the SI unit system. :)

[justino4567]

i will back you 80% dont worry

[6621790]

sick dude hahaha

[pwnedyou888]

I think those equites  standing at the gate were to keep the gate open for the roman renfocements.

[wbdix13]

wooooo 8th viewer!! :p

[As0peY]

Eheheheheheh.
