  • during the battle of Zama there were no legionary cohorts with the lorica segmentata & praetorian guard, u should have used hastati in the 1st line, principes in the 2nd & triarii in the 3rd, supported by cavalry & velites.

  • Scipio opened gaps in his formation that the elephants ran through, then he picked them off using velites.

    Also why are you using imperial legions? Where are the hastati and principes?

    And what's with the crappy Mexican music?

see all

  • Hannibal knew to get the vicotry,but no use it (Maharbal) no Scipio

  • The Romans throwed spears at the elephants....right? fail

  • @sorrypom

    He lost quite a bit as well, not to mention the morale of his men. They simply lost momentum here, and it was the starting point for the downfall of Alexander's empire.

  • the music killed it

  • Yes it was truely a shattering defeat for Hannibal and the Carthaginians.

  • @HptmSteinhauer Except you forgot to show the Roman cavalry chasing off the Carthaginian cavalry, then coming back to slaughter the Carthaginian infantry from behind

  • I read about this battle, and then rushed to RTW to play the historical battle of it, now that I knew what tactics were used by both sides in the battle, but then realized that they didn't set one up for Zama. Pretty cool vid

  • I did a reinactment too :). Nice job.

  • brilliant vid, good music and class the way you used rome total war :)
