453 AD 

Yeah that's all the playtime he could stomach

I got sent in a few rome 2 disasters. I will have a look at them.

@@LegendofTotalWardo you recommend Rome 2 over older games if a person only played Warhammer before?

@@shmekelfreckles8157 You'll be more familiar with Rome 2 if you played Warhammer only. Anything pre-Rome 2 has a different overworld in terms of settlement building and army control. It's easier to learn it though than trying to learn the new mechanics introduced by Rome 2 that applies to Warhammer.

​@a.trance6997 nah, nothing too hard in rome1 to understand. People who play warhammer have some brain, so mechanics of rome1 would not be difficult to learn. But yeah, management issues are no joke, and interface not so friendly((

Legend where are my legions?

lol nice@@MrTurnBased

Varus, give me back my legions!

We eating good🔥

Is it though? Or is it just that people prefer to play games that were relatively well maintained in the round to the more modern and fissile implementations?

@@robinstacpoole2667 Older TW titles are objectively superior. The newer ones lost features, got streamlined and CA made a big deal of the effects of weather in Pharaoh as if they never did that before.

It always was thriving in the background all these years

@@robinstacpoole2667 Rome I and Medieval II are just fantastic games

Thanks 😂

I think he got this and Byzantine ones dates mixed. 1453 is the year for the fall of Constantinople.

I'm as much a Majorian fan as every other Rome fanboy but people need to stop pretending he almost revived the empire. In fact, I think we need to altogether re-think the date at which the western empire fell because it was LONG before 476. I'm not sure that it even still existed by the time Majorian "became emperor" and went on his rampage. Majorian wasn't even really an emperor, he was Ricimer's plaything, and Ricimer tortured him for days and had him executed the moment he no longer needed him for anything. Majorian restored lands which used to be a part of the western empire but those conquests disintegrated as soon as he died. Majorian used mercenaries for his army because Rome no longer had any legions. When Majorian was murdered the legions didn't choose the next emperor because there were no legions, the senate didn't choose him because the senate didn't dare to go against Ricimer. Ricimer - a foreigner with absolutely zero loyalty to Rome or its empire - chose the next emperor. All that was left of the western empire was Italy, and Ricimer was its king in all but name. HE had an army. HE called the shots. The last time the western empire actually had legions to enforce its borders was some time during the reign of Honorius, but even then the emperor was relying on a half-Vandal strongman to do Rome's fighting for it. I think it fell at some point during Honorius' reign, or possibly a little later during the reign of Valentinian III. Not in 476.

@@Aethelhaldmost historians say the fall of North Africa to the vandals is when the situation became much harder to reverse. So that would’ve been under Valentinian III

​@@AethelhaldI would argue that the Empire didn't even fall, it just transformed. Many European countries today still retain Roman institutions, customs, religion and languages that come from Latin. The Roman Empire still lives on in a different form.

Yep, just an another side note. In my opinion the Western Roman Empire actually survived until the Gothic War (535-554). Despite the fact that the central government collapsed and Odoacer proclaimed himself the king of Italia, Roman institutions and economy continued to function. After him there were some further 're-Romanization' during the Ostrogothic rule. Once again Romans were also serving in the military and in the high echelons of the government for some extent. The Ostrogothic Kingdom spent huge resources to repair aqueducts and other important facilities. Especially this was the case during the reign of Theoderic the Great, who was de facto more of a Western Roman Emperor than the King of the Goths. And then the great Gothic war destroyed the Roman institutions and basically devastated Rome and Italia itself...

I wonder what was with warring barbarian tribes taking up Roman names.

@@WarPigstheHun The history of Europe for over a thousand years was everyone and their dog claiming to be the true claimant to the title of successor/continuance of the western Romans.

@@JB-xl2jc good point.

To batice! 😁😁😁

Or when a couple of reinforcement units get ambushed

All they need to do is modernize those old systems and they would do well

yeah bro, this game is astonishing for its time. And it's so playable even today! And you can add mods to put the game in different perspectives and stuff. Amazing.

yes, you're right i got mixed up

pleasure seeing you here

@@redcrown5154 Haha! No way! Not again!

keep up the based work fren :)@@CKyIe

Legend will need to watch out for Ricimer

@@lopedeaguirre1 Majorian tried, was doing well but got backstabbed... Same for Julian the Apostate. Another great Emperor, betrayed by his own men. He was likely killed by a soldier payed by one of his political rivals.

Units won't kill nearly as much units when you tell them to run through them as they do when you give them an attack command, even if that attack command is on a unit behind the unit you want to run down. It's just a game engine thing.

goth?

476 though

It fell in 476...

You've had a long life.

Save files

It’ll never happen

I don t play Attila. I play 1212 or.ancient empires 😅

The main reason why control groups can be annoying is that they become locked control groups, and unlike in newer TW games there isn't an option to unlock them. It's mostly a personal preference thing though, as LoTW likes to be able to spread his units as wide or as narrow as he thinks the situation and terrain dictate and control groups in Rome 1 don't give that sort of freedom, since whatever width the control group is at when you created it is what it will stay, unless you undo the control group and redo it at the new width.

This way Legend can farm another disaster out of this campaign.

the save file is for the original. you have to ask the person that sent it in

original

I put games that i play frequently in my favourites so they're easy to find. I dont think starfield will remain there for much longer.

​@@LegendofTotalWar i'm very happy to read it 😃 now i can calm, knowing that you are healthy 😇
