Rome Total War HD Campaign Chronicles : Greek City States Part III

[MegaHypnotoad]

I really enjoy watching your campaigns for RTW because you seem to be one of the few who know how to play it (:

[94sjolander]

A thing you can do too not forget to build in a city is to jump to all cities through the Construction Report. If you had all your cities building you can just jump to the cities that has finished building

[SUNSET7900]

once there was 1 single generals bodyguard and i had 348 menand i autoresolved it abd guess what CRUSHING DEFEAT wtf???

[lewisgunner1]

where did you get the Green hoplites they look so kool Just like you and your videos

[BBxTerra]

@lewisgunner1 they're called Mercenary hoplites which I think they are just slightly better then Regular hoplites, if you have a character in the Greek/Eastern Europe Areas, or in Sicily its possible to recruit them as mercenaries, though I would reccomend removing them after they accomplish the job you wanted them to achieve as they and any other mercenary unit in the game have ridiculous upkeep and are expensive to buy.

[lewisgunner1]

@BBxTerra thanks oh and which is better the Vanilla mod or the Europea Barbum I want one that has Triarii that look like Hoplites but with the Scutum

[BBxTerra]

@lewisgunner1 If you're looking for historical accuracy I would pick Europa Barbarorum hands down, it also has much more substantial AI then Vanilla does.

[Crazyscott1710]

why they heck did CA not patch roman generals in campaign?

[Barnsper]

heirofcarthage... guess what? you are great!!!

[WarGamer21]

my cities always have loads of squalar (sorry for bad spelling) but yet i always have the top healthcare i can how do i help lower squalar without just healthcare

[Siegertypus]

@WarGamer21 you have to keep the population down. Recruit troops and/or let the city revolt, retake it and extermnate population.

[darksatan877]

dude i remember i was playing as the greek city states and i sent 200 troops to a city guarded by 2 units of hastai each one had like 20 or 15 men in it and that was after a huge battle in front of the city and the romans beat ALL 200 OF MY TROOPS WITH JUST 30-50 TROOPS i was pissed liek hell and i almost never auto resolve battles now >.>

[haddikillz]

You are so funny in a weird way!!!

[DJYC21215]

He is right, on hard mode and very hard mode the computer isnt any stronger but there units are like 3 times stronger. In one battle i had 20 units of hoplites against 2 chariot units and some eastern spearmen, the spearmen got close to the middle of my line and 7 units routed before they even got hit o_O, the only thing that affected morale was chariots, but because i never got hit i dont see why my units routed when i outnumbered them 4 to 1...

[showfire100]

the roman general ARE overpowered and i agree with u they charged in to my mililta hoplites and the routed when i had lost about half of the unit

[L33T798]

Nice video HeirofCarthage. Your good with the campaign and commentary.

[MrDeano324]

Hi, what are the requirements for playing this on max settings? Thanks for any help.

[kakaka1k]

hey man do you think i can play without lag if my laptop is 2.5g

[emilio124567]

@kakaka1k depends on your proceser not ur hard drive space

[Dannyekimyan]

AI in any games are just plan STUPID 

[rkhale02]

youll know when pontus decides to attack.... they always offer trade rights first

[ernadmahmic]

how do u rotate you units srry I'm kinda new

[rahmanroni]

@HeirofCarthage Can you tell me the difference between RTW and Rome Total Realism. I know its suppose to be more realistic, but thats about all i know.

[thesleepsterz]

@rahmanroni A lot changes in RTR. The AI becomes "smart",compared to the idiot in RTW. It also increases the graphics. The Campaign becomes hard, and it's also historically accurate. They also added a crap load of troops and factions. And the campaign map is increased. A lot is better and it's WAYYY better than Vanilla (Non-modded).

[rahmanroni]

@thesleepsterz ty

[Chaxar]

I find campaign very interesting. especialy how different outcomes can rise. like your waiting for the Parthians to attack but when they do attack it could be at a bad moment.

[kovamdrmakavez]

I like your playing style. I always build economy buildings first and after army.

[HeirofRome]

what do you use to record this?

[timkingioo]

hmm, i just noticed rome total war is insanely similar to medieval 2...

[CluelessPictures]

i just realized the same thing lol

[timkingioo]

that's what she said.

[Bleachrebellion]

if im not wrong RTW came first came first

[timkingioo]

yeah ur right, i just noticed how medieval 2 is thus copied directly from rome... its funny, because the same thing happens with napoleon total war and empire total war, and medieval 1 and shogun.. so you have like series of 2 games :p

[IScorchUKI]

@Bleachrebellion Your forgetting Shogun and Medieval I.

[JoanneStarFruit]

NO DUH! the same company made it -.-

[daCheckervomNecker]

MrIrishfan1171 is right!

at 4:10 you see the phalanx mode is inactive thats the reason why you had so many casualties in the battle in part 2 in front of Messana.

When the phalanx mode is active there is no chance for a single cavalry unit to break through even not for a general unit

[MrIrishfan1171]

Oh, Heir, you forgot to put you hoplites in phalanx mode! they dont really use their spears very effective out of it! That might be why on normal roman generals beat hoplites for you.

[sidwidle]

I have not played this game for a while now, but are ports and traders more important than farms and roads cus I havent seen him build one?

[aventaes]

i think it depends on the nation greek citys really rely on trade for money barbarians rely more on farming so basicly as greeks id build farms for pop growth only

i mostly dont develop farms too much as i read it would help slow down pop growth once you got 24k people you dont want more people cuz they just get more tempted to freakin revolt

[MrIrishfan1171]

Definitely ports, as they bring in much more money. Farms help, but you should never build past the second level of farms in a city if you expect to try and reach the end of the game. You end up with ridiculous populations that do nothing but revolt all the time. And you can't destroy the farms. For me, traders are the worst, while roads are really useful, almost as much as ports

[markusthefarkus]

@MrIrishfan1171 a solution...let someone take it and then take it back and kill everyone in the city....

[timmu234]

as greece training alot of ships is a good and possibly the best idea to protect ur income because umm.. there are alot of rebel pirates that are gonna attack you and also the romans(all kinds of) have strong navy too , so sooner or later you are gonna face romans good idea and ships is a very good idea , im saying because I have like 27k denariis income every turn and I really rule with greece

[TheAsharedhett]

I would not consider the Militia Hoplite a crude unit. I conquered all of the near east with them and the weak cities could train them immediately.

[flubr123]

Arrhhgg ... Im sorry to say this but sometimes ur voice hurts my ears xD , not your fault ofc. =P

Nice video!

[Halofanatic227]

how do you play a sea battle

[HeirofCarthage]

All you can do is autoresolve.

[Herpkid56]

@HeirofCarthage they should fix that IF they make a RTW2, play the sea battles like ETW, it would be cool

[Halofanatic227]

not onl that but it wont let me do like open formashon, fire at will, or skermish, how do I kix it?

[HeirofCarthage]

Again I would ask Creative Assembly.

[Praventore]

@Halofanatic227 haha ;)

[Halofanatic227]

my game is messed up becuse the genral does not do anny more speeches and it doesnt show the info where it said if there tired, and it doesnt say what there thinking like if there eger, happy or what can someone help me fix it.

[HeirofCarthage]

Odd...I have never heard of that. You should ask Creative Assembly I think.

[dallaskathy]

And not to harp on it Heir, but one on your cities happiness was over 200% and another was like 180%. you could easily go from normal tax rate to very high tax rate and still be in the green on happiness. Just make sure you lower it again if your governer leaves.

[dallaskathy]

444, i dont know if you started with syracuse but the best way ive found for public order is to exterminate the population when you take a city over. It will take longer to upgrade say from a town to a city, but you rarely have to worry about uprising and takes way less troops to keep them in order.

[dicksucker444]

Im having alot of problems with Sycracuse, no matter how many rhines i build people are still not happy. If i want them to be neutral (blue face) i have to have like 20 units of Spartan Hoplites in there. Is there something i can do?

[Tatertotz1337]

could someone link me the online battle where HoC plays PoM...been looking for it for quite a while now

[HeirofCarthage]

It is in my favorites. Look in my favorites on my channel.

[SwirlingGlass]

Great campain videos Heir, I'm enjoying them alot. For the next installment can I suggest you go into detail on generals and governors?

Btw did you have a cold when you did the audio for this video?

[LieutenantDan726]

I'm surprised you haven't taken Corinth yet (even though it is 264 B.C.) The Statue of Zeus can be incredibly helpful, and you clearly have the manpower to take it. Your strategy so far has been solid; I was just wondering.

[xAngryGamer]

sweeeeT! =D

[MrUnclepeanuts]

people tell me you cant play as spartans in Greek campaign

[EHEHEHEOIL]

no u can't "play as" any 1 unit in the game but u can have spartrans

[sausages566]

great video i have been looking forward 2 this

[AdrianPetersonFan369]

"the insane nation of pontus will attack you with low quality units." lmfao. nice vid dude.

[KingSaw100]

I was wondering when you would upload the next set in the campaign, I personally like the Carthaginians and Greeks the best with campaigns I hate the romans because the senate always wants you to do this and that... I'm rambling aren't I? oops

[HeirofCarthage]

The Senate is annoying. i just use them to get extra money.

[alexsaw298]

lol same here

there actually a good thing to keep you going like the missions that want you to besiege settlements

[MrUnclepeanuts]

nice battle I was wondering when you're gonna make more campaign videos theyre very good

[Bismark129]

great vid

[aceblazer25]

In city battles with phalanxes, I usually find its better to spend the time to form up instead of attacking the units. That way its easier for them to stay in formation; then manually move them into the city little by little.

[HeirofCarthage]

This is indeed good advice to follow. Though one can imagine Phalanx's werent the best in tight quarters.

[aceblazer25]

Here's a tip...in order to make sure you build all your buildings, look at the "Buildings Completed" list and press the magnifying glass to instantly go to the city.

[HeirofCarthage]

Sorry for the skipping and audio skipping in a few spots, I don't know why my computer was acting up last night. It actually froze right after I made this video.

[frozensparten]

thats why i always fight the battle myself.

Good Video.

[1989dman]

I normally move the phalanx into the position I want them to go and they will stay in phalanx formation while in the city. Just make sure they aren't chasing after the enemy.

[AchilliestheGreat]

I would go east to get some two of the eigth wonders or have controlled the most part of Sicily.

[1989dman]

As the Greeks I took out Rome and Macedon as quickly as possible because for some reason they are hard when they have their high quality troops. But as Carthage while defending from Rome I'd go for all the islands in the Med sea because of the income I get :p

[HeirofCarthage]

I definately can't let Rome or Macedon grow too much, or they will be a pain to beat. Problem with Rome is they spread like a disease and it is hard to snuff them out quickly like other factions.

[1989dman]

I usually take out at least two factions of rome cuz for some reason I don't like destroying them totally lol I rush Macedon first as the Greeks to get rid of close battles. I like Rome Total Realism mod tho everything is much harder but more balanced. You might wanna try that mod for campaign

[Grant12345331]

nice vid.lol'insane nation of pontus"

hope to see more vids.

Grant

[WRH90059]

in pergamum i didnt get attacked by pontus they asked for trade rights.That city gets alot of income to.
