EARLY ACCESS - Rome Total War Remastered - Carthage Imperial Campaign Gameplay 

Ya, I’ve already bought it. It’ll be nice to have it be much smoother

Already bought. Take my money!

Hate you Heir, you got Early access? Damn you sir, damn you nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

it will be real for me when I can set up a greek pike blender at a collapsed wall in siege defense.

Ill say this, saw the video, thought it was a mod. Saw the pre-purchase button, fucking creamed myself. I fight for Beloved Carthage!

True ... I almost cried when I see it I played countless hours in rome .. and since that time I literally fell in love with total war and I bought every total war game with all its dlcs

how is it community friendly? it's a half-assed remake made by mobile devs, it looks bad, and they removed rome 1 from the store which is scummy.

@@Pagao-wx2qr Feral is not mobile devs. They have made ports of lots of games to mac and linux for years. Rome 1 is stil on the store, in the collection with the dlc.

@@Pagao-wx2qr feral interactive isn’t a bad 'mobile' dev team at all. They are around for over 2 decades now (since 1996 actually. They ported a lot of games for macOS and started to port games for other platforms in 2013, if I remember it correctly.

@@Pagao-wx2qr I think you just vie for attention, coz if you researched a bit, I think i saw some content creator say that the original Rome can be played by people who already own it and i think those who buy the remastered also get Rome GOLD So you point makes absolutely no sense at all.

Yes the fact that mods will hit the workshop is huge.

Europa barbarorum anyone

The older TWs are great for modding but the infrastructure to access those mods is horrendous. It's been 10 years and I still have no idea how to mod M2TW because the info and tutorials are absolutely scattered all over the damn place. Some modders just throw their mods out there with zero instructions on how to get them working. And if you ask for help some will even have the audacity to say " if you don't even know the basics you shouldn't even be trying mods".

I was introduced to the franchise with Rome 2. Can you tell me if the controls of the remaster were redefined to be similar to Rome 2?! Because that's a crucial point for my decision.

@@victuz not sure if for rome 2 but camera controls are the same os modern total wars since the old controls were super bad..

same!!!!

I am old! :(

@@HeirofCarthage nah, you're well seasoned, just like me ;) (My first computer game encounters was Battleships and Tetris on the 4" B/W CRT screen of an Apple II)

@@HeirofCarthage So are all who remember your begginings:( It's kinda crazy, when I first watched some of your videos, I was like 11 or 12, now I study medicine and you are still dojng youtube.

Same bro 😭

Dang that's dope

No more force rebellions and retake (enslave/exterminate) city

Guess we won't have to do the seasonal mass executions

@@ecargfosreya more like seasonal genocide

It was capped in the original, at 100% Real players can control big cities effectivly and don't ask modders for the pussy way out.

I never had a problem with squalor, i just spammed peasants to deal with it. I don't understand how other people had problems with it

Same for me

None of the enemy soldiers could see him. Smart.

@@bobomob111 Orky Scieunz!

My Lord we can either build a barracks or a granary. It cant be both.

More interesting gameplay, basically. If the correct strategy is always 'build more stuff', then city building is an afk task (which it more or less was in Mediaeval 2 and Rome, esp. compared to the original Mediaeval Total War). All cities are more or less the same in Rome, which makes the strategy layer kind of boring once you've worked out the optimal building order. Mediaeval tried to spice this up by creating two different city types, but this really just meant you had to memorise two build orders. In Rome 2 and onwards you at least nominally have to think about what the actual best building to put in the individual settlement is based on what you want to do with it. As an example of how this was also really stupid - you can't fortify your settlements in Rome and Mediaeval 2 beyond what their settlement level would allow, for example, so your border regions were always more vulnerable than your core regions despite that logically you would want to focus fortifications on borders with tough enemies, which you could do in Mediaeval 1, and which was reintroduced in later Total War games. I did prefer the original Mediaeval system where certain buildings were locked based on what resources were available in the province, recruitment was based on building synergies (including the resource-locked ones!), and you could rush nearly any building tree but the main cost to you was the amount of time it would take to build the thing, so you had to consider very carefully what, where, and if you wanted to build at all. Empire/Napoleon /almost/ returned to this system but used cost gating instead, which I dislike, and which basically every Total War since has used, which reduces strategy in a different way, but to 'spam resource buildings for more money'. I think Troy was a step in the right direction on that front, but Troy also had a bit too much resource availability and more or less the same cost gating issue.

@@therat1117 I get why strategy games shifted to trading off this for that with settlement development. Originally I thought it was a cool concept. Then every single game decided to do a version of it and now they all just seem like math class and their rules are all arbitrary. It's just to roadblock the player with an annoyance, it's not historically accurate whatsoever in most cases. In the time period of Rome some cities really could have all those buildings, and some of them did. They weren't given arbitrary game blockers for the sake of a challenge. I don't know it's just my preference. I think the concept has become pretentious and I would rather go back to a simpler time.

@@chrisgibson8863 I feel that. I feel like you should be able to build massive cities with all the buildings, but have a realistic balance of time and cost to this, and not the stupid squalor or public order sinks. The idea of increasing city size with development is good, but the idea and balance of it is too underdeveloped in Total War rn. I especially don't like gating individual building tree progress behind settlement level - that really is arbitrary.

Same for me. I bet most of us got into it with Rone1 and PoM

I’ll do you one better. I remember following campaigns on some old Rome total war forum where people posted their campaigns using photos uploaded to photobucket (because youtube and Let’s Play’s were in their infancy). I remember following one guys campaigns who went by the username Attila16 and basically did to Rome total war what Legend-of-total-war does with the more modern titles. Good times!

Same

I tried It twice, Gave up on the first week, while in Rome I play for weeks

@@sandroribeiro7644 there is just something about Rome 2 that is off. Idk if its the province system or what it is.

@Exalt Chrom I agree. I liked when we could make mega cities all over the map.

@atombrain111 which sounds like a direction I should 100% enjoy more but for some reason I still enjoy 1 over 2

Hey why you here I didn't know you like Rts games

@@bluey_fan968 That’s where he got his start.

@@SteveSmith-ty8ko sheesh okay I'm not a day 1 I've only been subscribed since 6k

@@SteveSmith-ty8ko And check if you're still subscribed because it just unsubscribed me

Lol 😆

Same for chariots with a full stack back up of inf.

I used to to have armies of heavy armored skirmishers in Greek city states and I would crush everyone

So spend the $30 for a remake. Oh, and another $60 for DLC. " 16X the resolution and it just works". You'll never learn.

@@Primarch19th what??? have you even seen the footage and features you spud

I see ships

You can see the carts and ships later in the video when he's got roads and ports built

It will happen with trade right+ roads/naval bases

Yeah, you can see them at 39:30 for instance!

Does this work with Napoleon Total War?

@@Nigel_Camilleri While it doesn't work with other older TW games. I'm guessing they added in Rome due to the remastered edition. I believe that Napoleon TW came with a steam key. But if you only have the cd key it would only take 5sec try it.

@@visor9916 I actually went to try it and it worked, thanks for bringing it up. Now I'll just find my old Rome CD and get that on steam :)

I really like the BI expansion. It really was great and didn't seem to get much love.

@@HeirofCarthage I'd call it Total War's best hidden gem for sure.

@@frozenlimemix I agree. It’s amazing

the shogun 2 co-op mode should be in every Total War game

Selecuids were always fun cause their roster felt pretty unique.

@@HeirofCarthage Exactly, a little bit of everything! And a somewhat challenging start being so spread out similar to Carthage, but less navy based

*legionaries

He was the original :) It was awesome getting to meet him at CA events. Love his videos.

lololol :)

Mod support will fix this

I have a feeling that workshop support will remedy that eventually.

Full mod support baby, that'll change in a month

Very wise if they were historical they just be another Greece clone

rookie numbers

I remember playing as Parthia and Rome over and over again on EB. Easily thousands of hours were spent in my teenage years playing this mod and it’s still the pinnacle of a mod in my eyes. I love that this is going to come back.

It seems the exact opposite to me. The old UI was incredibly simple, especially in the campaign map. You had everything you needed, in a simple and clean design, and nothing you did not need. This new design looks way more over-engineered, with more crowded panels, more buttons and panels for the sake of it (not saying that some additions are not useful, but most seem less than necessary). The same goes for the battle UI. It was really simple, easy to use and elegant in its simple design. The new design is modern, sure, but it misses what made the original good in my opinion. An excellent example is that they have zoomed the camera out substantially on the battle map, making it much more in line with newer games like R2 and Atilla. This might seem insignificant, but being close enough at maximum zoom to still be able to distinguish individual movement is a big deal for the feel and visceral impact of the game. The fact that you can see less of the battlefield also forces you to take a more active role, zooming around more and paying more attention, thus involving you more in the action. This is where a decenty large and easily accessible UI is important, all things in it should be very easy to access, all the time, because my focus is on the field, not the buttons. Im afraid I also dont find the uppdates very tasteful at all. On the campaign map the soft, subdued colours and mix of sharp and blurred lines with soft contrasts has been replaced by much sharper lines and much more garish colours, making the overall Impression and feel a far cry from the original. The effect is similar in the battles, with bright orange range-indicators with opaque lines (which incidentally also take away the need to pay attention to your units) as just one example. From the trees in the battle around 30min into the vid, they also have not been very thorough in making the game look good, focusing on certain parts only. Overall I dont see a tasteful uppdate, but a clumsy attempt to paste the look and feel of newer games onto the old, with very little respect for what it was, why it was that way and what made it great.

@@gustavchambert7072 I was somehow mistaken thinking this was the work of a mod team. Now I know CA was behind it it does seem less impressive

Only multiplayer battles sadly

@@Speederzzz Hotseat campaigns? They were supported in Medieval 2 and Rome 1 via a mod.

Agreed. Maybe that can add some later. Would be a really cool thing to have.

PoM's channel is still active, too! I just looked him up.

You could really feel and see the units clash in these old games

You can get rid of that I think

This game would be awesome with challenging battles and just better AI in general. I played the EB mod for the historical depth and detail but I could never finish a campaign because it felt so unrewarding with the low difficulty.

Nawh I liked Rome 2. They're both good games.

@@RomeCorgis it could have been had it actually worked half the time

True.

That was part of the charm of this game haha. Never get in a naval battle unless you have overwhelming odds, and even then you can lose xD

Yea it certainly seems that way. The two games did seem closely related in terms of engine and implementation.
