  • oh my god........age of mythology all over again,,,but with romans

  • what game is that i need it

  • this is the best strategy game of the all history

  • Scipii.... for the win

  • this was a great game..and it still looks great..

  • To all those who love Rome as i do join our "New Rome" group. We are dedicated to bringing back Rome in all its Glory. Please message me if you wish to join us. May the Caesars watch us with Pride.

  • Ancient Rome was a thriving civilization that grew on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 8th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea and centered on the city of Rome, it expanded to one of the largest empires in the ancient world.

  • In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an aristocratic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate Southern Europe, Western Europe, the Balkans, Asia Minor, North Africa and parts of Eastern Europe through conquest and assimilation. Rome was preponderant throughout the Mediterranean region, and was the sole superpower of Antiquity. Even today its influence survives.

  • Rome was undoubtedly the central power of Antiquity. The Romans are still remembered today, as Julius Caesar (a military and political genius, symbol of Roman power), Cicero (a master of oratory) and Horace (the greatest poet of the Latin language). Roman culture and history was also praised by great thinkers and philosophers like Machiavelli, Rousseau and Nietzsche.

  • A society highly developed in military and politics, Rome professionalized the military and created a system of government called res publica, the inspiration for most of our modern republics like the United States and France.

  • By the end of the Republic, Rome had conquered more than half of the then known world: its domain extending from the Atlantic to Judaea and from the mouth of the Rhine to North Africa.

  • In the Empire, Rome entered into its golden times by the hands of Augustus Caesar. Under Trajan, the Empire reached its territorial peak, but began showing signs of fatigue. The republican values started to fall in the imperial times, and civil wars became the common ritual for a new emperor's rise.

  • Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century AD. This splintering is the landmark historians use to divide the ancient period from the medieval era and the "Dark Ages".

  • The Eastern Roman Empire survived this crisis and was governed from Constantinople after the division of the empire. It comprised Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt. Despite the later loss of Syria and Egypt to the Arab-Islamic Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire continued for another millennium, until its remains were finally annexed by the emerging Turkish Ottoman Empire. This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the empire is usually called the Byzantine Empire by historians.

  • Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" together with ancient Greece. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to government, law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology, religion, and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.

  • I used to play this when I was about 8 years old and I've just stumbled across this video accidentally while looking for Rome: Total War videos!

  • whats the name of the music theme

  • Ave , true to Caesar ..

  • what game? pretorians?!

  • what game?

  • Jugen Rome total war supera mil veces a esta mierda es mas realista , Uno se puede asercar ala pantalla pa ver la pelea , Aka si sirven las cargas de caballeria -.- , puedes rodear al enemigo , En praetorians todo falso

  • loved this game

  • i heard that the Creative assembly is working on a game based on Alien franchise which really sucks to me because i have no care for Alien games i want a ROME II TOTAL WAR its the only total war game execpt Empire and Napoleon to have a sequel and it could benefit SO MUCH from it we could have naval battles which is something i really want to see COME ON CREATIVE ASSEMBLY BRING ON ROME 2 TOTAL WAR

  • @MasterBattle2000 Id rather have a Mediveval 3 but Rome 2 would be acceptable. Creative assembly needs to learn from the modding community and not make the economy so fricken easy and diplomacy not retarded

  • @MasterBattle2000 I'm waiting for this too!!!!!

  • ALREADY 8 YEARS? TIME IS FLYING :|

  • This game still remains one of the best strategy games ever.

  • well its been 8 years that one foo undeneath me says 6 but it is 8th Rome total war still is an always will be the Surpeme Ruler of the Roman gaming world it represents Rome in a very spactarular way SPQR

  • play it online with gameranger! We are a lot in there

  • Lol the Praetorians where created by Gaius Julis Caesar Octavius Augustus to protect the emperors of Rome. But history has shown us that they have killed more Roman emorerors then they have defended. :P

  • @VictumRoManius actually they were created in the early republic, to guard the Praetor of each legion. Mark Antony resurrected them and Octavius used them after he defeated Antony

  • @pawnypj Woot? I read that in a book. But yeah i might have misunderstood the book.

  • @VictumRoManius its fine, just fillin you in lol

  • @coolasacoldsummer If you are refering to the one north african emperor then yes it was ruled by a black african for a period. but to argue that the entire civilisation is black african is quite unrealistic. PS, capitals to not make you cool

  • egyptian makes you so many armies

  • I have to admit RTW has good graphics and your able to do alot more,but Praetorians to me actually feels like your in the game,it draws you so deep with its scenary,missions,actual story line,and the pride of a Roman.

  • rome is better for sure

  • I downloaded demo, but RTW is beter

  • @TheRomanRuler ofcourse rtw is better!!;) i have this game too, i stoipped playing after 1 day; i finished it and it gets boring))

  • Only good thing in this game is movie cut scenes!!

  • It's been 6 years and still Rome: Total War makes every other Roman game look like shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @leeham991 Exactly hahaha!

    I can't wait till Rome Total War 2

  • @TOTCD ok. now theres a rome total war 2. Dont wanna be a 5 year old child but, oh boy oh boy i cant wait

  • @MexicanHater22 CA never said anything about a Rome 2: Total war, but loads of people seems to be getting their hopes up after they made a shogun 2

  • @htejt yes, is it confirmed? i dont mind whether or not there is going to be a Rome2 (as a die hard fan, i love all their games :P). But asides from rumours about R2TW, there are also rumours of a "Nation Divided TW", during the Amercian civilw ar. check otu its steam group.

  • @leeham991 I hope you know that this game is older than Rome Total War.

  • @Prof1989

    I didn't know that. But my point still remains if you look at newer games.

  • @leeham991 Holy words!!!

  • @leeham991 hell yea

  • @leeham991 exept for grand ages rome (i think there tied) :)

  • @shaunblake101

    Then ROME TOTAL WAR 2. :)

  • @leeham991 first ur wrong... second thing...praeto is 9 yrs old....much older..lol rtw sux...i tried to have fun playing that game...its just boring...spqr mod made designs bit better...but game isnt that much...its lights which made all its performance sucky...

  • @SpartiuS94

    Wait what? 

  • @SpartiuS94 lol rtw is strategy game not action game.if you have a little patience then it will be fun.and of course it makes it look like shit.just fight withoutstrategy,then you will see what i mean.and,it doesnt matter how old it is but i agree the light effects thing.

  • @XXXprisonguardXXX lol atleast we agree on sth xDD

  • @SpartiuS94 :D lol

  • @leeham991 they really need to make an updated version after their new shogun

  • @leeham991 yeah, I was craving more rome games so I go to the wikipedia and they had a list of every game set in ancient rome and everysingle one was shit

  • @leeham991 This game was released before RTW.

  • @naq29

    I'm pretty sure I was told this by 27 other people during the past year.

    Anyway my original point is still valid. No Rome set games have been released since RTW that bested it.

  • @leeham991 this trailer s from 2003. considering it's a game from 2003 this is looking quite good.

    although graphics don't mean everything. gameplay s also important. not sure how the gameplay is on this game, never played it, never even heared of it before.

  • @Xon0sc0peoX i dont think he gives a shit lol but dont be jealous of his 37 thumbs up

  • Muy bueno

  • fuck this

  • Romans don't need no introduction! At least not in that time.

  • Looks very Warcraft-ish. :)

  • @Agent1W nah more like a lotr bfme 2 type

  • I got this game when it was released and played in multiplayer with my brother, fun as hell!

  • @Nefus2 yh i loved this game. the gladoators and the trojans were the best

  • you guys should get rome total war, it's better

  • i think the praetorians have a fearsome name (my opinion)

  • ótimo jogo

  • is this game worth buying?

  • @benja1709 if you are just starting this kind of game yes

  • @benja1709 you see it 2003 0_o

  • its a decent game with a very good campaign mode that follows Julius caesars 's lifeline from wars in goul to defeat of pompei . its all about battle with almost no resource other than population of villages you control - which can be used to create units.

  • not to mention caesars british campaign

  • @benja1709 you'll be much better off with Rome: Total War and a great RTW mod : Rome: Total Realism

  • WOW! lol i just found this game on an old pile of mine. Such a good game i remember. One of the best RTS games and with very advanced concepts for the time it was released, which was 7 years ago.

  • Im going to see this great movie again tonight ! Watch it on 123hqmovies (dot) $com$

  • the most powerfull formation was the macedonian phalanx... the pikemen were the most well trained soldiers!!! cohortes win her...just because their commanders where wrong...under the rule of alexander...nobody could phanxise her!!!!

  • The phalanx used spears , but the roman short sword was devastating agains the phalanx because that formation could not manouver , could not turn and the romans came on sides and cut the greeks to pieces .

  • actualy the greek army got 2 units the first was the phalanx and the second ypaspists. The ''idiot'' new commanders did not use them correctly... they was the power of phalanx not only the phalanx... but they put hypaspits into the uniot of phalanx and they could move to the sides... so it was very easy to a heavy unit like cohort to break into...but if hypastists were free to move COHORTS should not win the phalanx

  • But the phalanx had many flaws , it couldn't be very well used on difficult terrain , it was very fragile , i mean it could break down if it was formed with poor soldiers , it manouvered very hard , the soldiers would have to be unified in actions and movement , so it was probably used by veteran or profesional soldiers , also the general's tactics mattered more .

  • exactly my friend... alexander was the best man to command the phalanxes.... he used well even if the terrain was difficult!!! in these terrains he used more the hypastists... he was unbeatable !!!! if he fights with romans he should have crushed them!!!! dont forget that the romans used his strategical movies...not units but movies

  • Nothing compares to the romans . Usually a crushing defeat would break a normal nation/kingdom but to win against Rome you would need a war , lots of victories and luck . Look at Hannibal , he crushed the romans many times , 3 times he destroyed entire armies , yet the end of the war saw Rome victorious and Carthage wiped out of history . They were master soldiers , superior to anyone in all asptecs of warfare.

  • I don't think alexander would have beaten julius cezar or other great emperors .

  • alexander has proved to everyone that is the best commander in the world... dont forget that he was destroying armies 5 times bigger than his... come one! dont think silly! who is julious ceasar front t alexander? read the book '' rome must destroyed'' the author explains ( and he is not greek) if alexander will not killed so young, what he was preparing to do with rome... he explains how easily rome could destroyed from him!!! perfect book!

  • hey hey greek patriot alexander was macedonian not a greek :P so dont be so so proud i mean its not your country hero xD

  • @scholtestom Macedonia is Greek moron

  • you are moron alexander was macedonian and he conquered  greece and raped grecs

  • @scholtestom Oh you are retarded, you should have said so before

  • so you see my friend you sad macedonia is greek!! are you retard you should say in that time greek is macedonia SO STFU AND GTFO

  • @scholtestom All ancient texts city names human names. Their religion their architecture practically everything in the Mecedonian history is Greek. I take it you are from fyrom then? You are just brainwashed and refuse to see the truth

  • oh man sorry no i am not from fyrom =) i know that greece is very old :D

  • the greece cities were alot a hanful of nations almost like how the gauls had it once alexander fell the once mighty nation split up into its own nations to try an be the next alexander that day would never come...

  • Legionnaire Cohort!!

  • urrrrrrrrrrrban cohaart!

  • urban cohort were better than praetorians

  • Better? Dude you must stop playing games :P

    They were just later...

  • bloodninja5 i think you've been playing too much rome total war

  • @bloodninja5 I support the guy under me, and even if they were at the same time, there is no way you could meassure which one's the "better". Since we don't know all the historical facts we have today to be true, they are just extremly likely to be so

  • Shut the fuck up and enjoy the video, stop spamming the comment sections with your bullshit.

  • too late......... they are already are ^^

  • ya got that off total war center, and got it wrong at that

  • ya got that off total war center, and got it wrong at that (i meant the bit about the special olympics

  • @bikbikboktaschereau its "retard".. kinda defeats the purpose of saying special Olympics doesn't it..

  • @bikbikboktaschereau You got that from a picture you noob

  • @nicemikkel10 if you mean he didnt invent a world famous quote, then yes u r probable right. but im sure the original quote doesnt come from a picture, moron. plus he didnt take credit for it, so stop insulting ppl!

  • @fuckcapitalism666 Fuckcapitalism666?... fuck your mom

  • @nicemikkel10 Fuck you

  • Comment removed

  • @bikbikboktaschereau Its retard lol

  • @bikbikboktaschereau Maybe, but it sure is fun.

  • after the marian reforms? more like during the principate. moron. and they only existed in rome and were quite insignificant compared to the praetorian guard.

  • ok college boy. there was no such thing as "town watch" you're accusing people of getting shit off video games and "town watch" is straight off a video game. romans never used "town watch". in every province they had trained non-citizen soldiers, not some fucking peasant with a spear.

  • and "urban cohort" from rome total war where all dummys get your historical reference from didn't even actually exist. (not in the way that game puts it)

  • taweeyzz ur exactly like me - im 15 and love history especially romans and thier history they ace

  • Not really dude.. Praetorians were the emperor's bodyguards, usually veterans of the legions allowed to continue service, but with a larger influence in politics :p. They rarely fought in wars either, so meh.

  • Haha, I bet all you guys learned your information from Rome:Total War. What you say is almost the exact same words as the unit information in the game.

  • asingus do you think Rome: Total War just "invented" those formations for that game? lmao They are all Historically accurate trust me I have studied the Roman Empire A LOT.

  • I never said Rome:Total War invented those formations. I just stated that what people said is exactly the same as what Rome:Total war said.

    Please don't put words in my mouth.

  • the modern interpertatinons for romans:

    Urban Cohort= Secret Sevice

    Pratorians= Delta Force

    Legionarries= Army

    Peasants= Police

  • dude the peasants weren't police they were lower rank then that

  • the peasants signed up or were recruited to be town guards so yes the peasants were like the police (not the band)

  • if your saying like that your right

  • what are you talking about? are you dumb? this sounds like you ripped that off rome total war. the "peasants" made up the legions. and the "police" were the praetorian guard. there was no fucking town guard in rome, and all the other cities had real non-citizen soldiers.

  • there was a town gaurd in the early- Republic retard

  • basically the townwatch were the police, peasants trained enough to defend their homes and creates some order in the streets

  • lol...

  • uhm ok.

  • Urban cohort is better.

  • praetorians was alright for the year it came out

  • bo,pos qe cosa

  • i personaly i like the legionary cohort much better

  • in real life, urban cohort were like the police, higher in the ranks than town watch but they kept order, not like rome total war, they were the best infantry in the game. praetorians were actually better in real life, but they were actually just body guards. but they were very elite.

  • arcanis= elite

  • God I hate CGI

  • ah quanto m'è piaciuto sto gioco =)

  • rome total war is a great game but praetorians are better

  • honestly rome total war is the best strategy game ever in history of videogames! i love this game!!

  • hey can you tell me how much this game costs and if you can buy it at a regular game store?? thanks :)

  • u torrent?

  • If you like strategies, only one answer, Total War

  • @aynanoman So true..

  • @aynanoman yeah only if you have a really good computer otherwise your stuck playing rome total war or for me medieval 2 but when empire comes out you try and play it all glitchy and Im not gonna buy a god damn brand new pc to play a game

  • @aynanoman

    RTW - Great game, but almost as bad as the movie 300 in terms of historical inaccuracy. Download RTW-Europa Barbarorum for a true historical experience.

  • @aynanoman unlucky starcraft is more papular...

  • @aynanoman what are you part of the maketing team? play what ever you want. its all just a laugh.

  • Comment removed

  • Rome: Total War is the best strategy game.

  • shit this looks great game , i love Roman praetorian, i'm gonna get this game asap. right now i'm playing RTR its awesome & i just unlocked the praetorian cohort & they'r great & strong :)

  • what is the best age of empires 2 or Praetorians?

  • the praetorians i'm just getting into it & age of empires 2 i haven't played it. All i can say is RTW, Alexander & medevil 2 total war r blowing my mind :) they'r awesome.

  • I play these I recomendastes.thanks

  • I loved this game, lost my cd tho:(

  • what is the game called

  • Praetorians

  • to make more people you must have a village and a centurio,chef,or officier .This guy ru into the village and you must only click how guys you wanted.

  • take village to build units

  • how make you more people in this game?? i cant made wich me horseman (the hero)

  • Really good game! It is very interesting to play it in multi a lot of tactivs to choose from!

  • its a great game

  • Praetorians is one of the best strategy games for me. It is old but it has very good graphics, for that period at least. I remember that I would sit in front of my PC for hours playing it! Another game with Romans that I like is Rome Total War.

  • praetorians is a different and original game, all other games are a copy of clasics as warcraft or age of empires 2 (extract resources, build and fight) but this is a new concept, For example: You do not have pickers so we can concentrate on military tactics, and most novel: the ground affects the battle, a detail that is very realistic!.MIXO

  • one of the best tactics game ever.

    if u compare it with "imperium", or some strategy game trying to get you into the roman legions, you can easily tell praetorians is far better.

  • i have this game its realy cool

  • I don't even care about the graphics of this game, perosnally I think that it is EPIC.

  • no graphics? you are stupid, the game have a lot of years, and is made by a little work team of spain, the same of commandos, a lot of game makers with more money and people doesnt do better things, go to play barbies!!!
