100% Historically Accurate Romans in Warhammer 3. 

The Illyrian Vampirates were huge problem for the Romans.

@@anmerpozzoas were the Cilicians (Caesar remembers), and many others

well done@@anmerpozzo

very true, lol

You mean 100% cannon Yes, I find out myself

"GO FOR THE EYES! GO FOR THE FËRSCHUGGINËR EYES, YOU RANDY BASTARDS! IF THEY CAN'T SEE YOU HACKING AT 'EM, THEY CANT STOP YOU! SLASH, YOU WASTRELS! STAB! HACK! KICK 'EM IN THE FORK! KILL! MAIM! DESTROOOYYYYY!" -some sergeant, somewhere, sometime ...

So glad to see that’s still being remembered

"Engage the enemy ship with your velites, and keep a safe distance from its legs" -Belli contra piratas by Julius Caesar

In this context it's like saying: "oh look, how fat are Jabba the Hut's arms!"

Romans DID exist in Warhammer Fantasy. They were the Reman Empire. They basically were Fantasy Rome and would have all the things you woukd expect of the Romans but they also made extensive use of halberds

​@@catodes1295i love when modders add THAT level of detail when making factions! To know that means they did their research to fit it into Warhammer, while making the faction fun for history nerds like me

@@catodes1295 "reman" not knowing a lot about warhammer lore, something something romulus and remus.

@@StarshadowMelody I suggest you look it up lol

Not exactly, we haven't seen famous battle when Julius Caesar cut Archaon's head

As a Spaniard I can confirm it's 100% a lifeless wasteland indeed

Even down to the small details like Caesar knowing lizard magic

it's lack dragon though, everyone know the Roman slay dragon when fighting Carthage

You shouldn't listen this dirty gallic propoganda, they didn't exist #GloryToRome #RomaInvicta

They're called Gotrek and Felix in the Old World.

There is a WH Fantasy mod for mount&blade warband called Warsword Conquest. And there is an Ogre companion named Ogrelix. Get it? He looks like Obelix with iconic blue and white pants, red hair and super strength

🤣🤣🤣👍

@@kraeutemall you're no school trying to correct old school. Shush, child.

Tsun-zue (or some guy) best win is win without fighting

​@@giganticbrittle "just win lmao." - the Sun, Art War

Sun Tzu: " Just win." Okay and how are we going to accomplish that? Sun Tzu: "... . Just read Clausewitz!"

@@udozocklein6023nah theyre on about snu snu

Brooooo someone else gets it

All jokes aside, I notice an uptick in Roman-themed Undead factions in various games in recent years. Dominions 5 has Ermor, Battle Brothers has the Ancient Undead (who even have pseudo-germanic and pseudo-celtic undead Auxiliaries), Songs of Conquest has the Barony of Loth, and the tabletop wargame Conquest has the Old Dominion (which also has some Byzantine stuff in their roster, like Cataphracts and Varangians). Not sure where that came from, but I'm not complaining. I'd love to see more Undead Romans.

@@moriskurth628 Hmm... With the exception of Battle Brothers I haven't heard of the others. Might have to have a look. I certainly can't say no to more undead factions.

​@@Caldaris As a certified Dominionsologist (Don't quote me on that), I can tell you that it is the Dwarf Fortress of strategy games. The amount of unique Factions, Spells, Craftable Items, and strategies is without equal. You want to lead an army of sapient Magma humans clad in the heaviest armour possible? That's a thing. Wanna wage war with Japanese Oni as semi-divine Angels governing over armies of monkeys? Thats possible. A lot of the factions in the game is based on real life mythology, Mixed with tabletop games and some such. Fair warning, You should really watch a tutorial series before playing the game as it is incredibly complicated and detailed, And it does not teach you at all :D

I'm gonna add the Empire faction from Fantasy General 2 in that list too.

yeah, he did MASSIVE DAMAGE to took him down %)

Considering roman history it will burst out into civil war anyway xD

Ah yes, the Romans. A people famous for not starting civil wars.

I cannot imagine a worse idea for reducing civil wars, I'm pretty sure Rome must hold the world record for civil wars.

Malekith already thought he had a hereditary claim to the elected office of Phoenix King sooooo

@@AndreaFasani Just learn to write.

Just added it to my list, thanks for the rec!

Damn I already made a comment mentioning Codex Alera before I saw this. But hello fellow Codex Alera enjoyer!

@@lazylonewolf hello, friend. Wish there was more like it 👍

i like how in typical roman fashion they travel to a new dimension and immediately think ok lets conquer it

@@todorminchev2123 in their defense they didn't exactly run into friendly natives when they got there so not much choice if they wanted to live. It's actually a pretty insane feat they managed with only a single legion but it's heavily implied that they had Julius Caesar leading them so it checks out I guess. Would have been cool to read his book about that campaign.

As a roman fanboy i can say with 100% certainty that the commenter above is 100% an ancient roman, so if he says this video is 100% historically accurate then it 100% is.

A man of culture I see

What u mean nonsense? Everyone knows Julius' dragon Tommy

I was about to say.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but isn't the term "French" derived from Franks, as in the German tribe, the Franks?

@@jorvach9874 i think so but gaul in roman times was on modern day french territory so

Magic would be a problem. Not to mention the physical resistance too.... Oh darn it, I suppose they can go along with the Maleficent 1 scenario. Make silver strong against all fantasy creatures.

@@URKCEHinoSuu I figure it wouldn't have magic, it would just be fantasy in the sense that it combines all the iconic factions from historic Total War, except Fall of the Samurai because that would be too OP.

@@hedgehog3180 so in theory we can have roman legions supported by spainard musket squads

Considering how often they either put curses on others, or sought protection from curses, this is entirely believable. So many curse tablets...

"Reman"? As an Elder Scrolls fan, I am obliged to say: "I AM CYRODIIL COME" ...even though I haven't actually looked into 2nd Era Tamriel lore very much so I don't really know what that means.
