Saving Your Disaster Total War Campaigns - Barbarians at Rome's Gates 

Over 2,600 kills lol. They should be given a triumph!

No one can resist flashy Roman coin!

good catch!

classic RTW

A truce, just stated with more words.

Game: It’s just a flesh wound- Player: A flesh wound?! Your arm’s off! Game: No it isn’t. Player: (points) Look! Game: . . . I’ve had worse- Player: You lie! Game: COME ON YE PANSIE!

If this was real life than it would be dead end.

To be fair he put around 20 k people to The sword by exterminating The population and before that destroyed a few stacks of enemies. That's got to be huge ass power spike

LuNi.Fi I wonder whether AI diplomatics algorithm takes those power spikes into account or just some fixed settlement count threshold. Makes me want to play some RTW.

@@reav3rtm I'm fairly sure it's based on a plethora of issues, including settlements, but not just that. For example, certain factions will refuse peace even after several annihilation battles and massive odds against them, but others will be incredibly eager to fight and go back to peace at a moment's notice. I think the main calculation is based off of the priority of the AI (whether or not it deems you an existential threat or just wants a certain patch of land), the other threats it faces, and a calculation of your cities and armies against theirs, minus a little to make up for any troops diverted against other enemies.

Ximen Ramsay Bolton and his 20 good towers

Totally normal, chill

Hes flying 😂

Damn I guessn everyone was so amazed and thats why they couldn't be bothered to participate in the rest of the battle. They just where: General: "Hey did you my jump?" Bodyguard Tom: "Yeah that was tottaly bonkers" Bodyguard Kenneth: "That was amazing we should grab some ale and make a song about it."

'OMG!!! THIS GAME IS UNREALISTIC FANTASY GARBAGE!!! WATS WITH DA GENERAL POWERS! OMG

same, most of the other youtubers are full of shit.

Legend: "You came to fight me with a force three times the size of mine? YOU UTTER FOOL!"

- Sir, we're surrounded! - Excellent, now we can attack them in any direction!

You racist I'm so offended. human rights violation I'm a victim now. /kappa

Here's when jokes are ok to make: when the people targeted by that joke are not experiencing real life discrimination and hardship based on the stereotypes addressed in said joke. But when real people are suffering and you further reinforce a given stereotype in the cultural consciousness that's when jokes are in extremely poor taste and may in fact be actively harmful to people. You wouldn't make a joke about jews while they were being genocided and you shouldn't make jokes about racial stereotypes that are still used to discriminate against people today. Jokes are never "just jokes" they inform the cultural narrative, what is said in jest for long enough may eventually become accepted "fact" especially since many people who use those jokes actually really believe what they said and use the joke pretense to hide actual prejudice and make it palatable for delivery to a mainstream audience, to sneak their otherwise socially unacceptable views in under the radar. Just my two cents. This doesn't mean you should be punished or stopped from making them. You should choose for yourself to refrain out of respect and social responsibility from such insensitive jokes.

C.F. Gauss I'm glad I read that wall of text, summed up what I thought but couldn't put into words

@@Sercotani Sooory for the wall of text. Should have included a TL;DR. Which is i think basically this: make jokes just don't be a dick to people! Also don't take offense at absolutely every little thing. Just the things that matter.

A men I thaught it was hilarious I actually didn't saw it comming, well in my defense I was only half reading it. :) Or to say it like Legend "I find this suffiently funny".

yeah they are simply like none of the armies is completely routed or wiped out: draw it is then

With touches of gray!

Pucukax it might be, but in all fairness - we all know legend could have easily won it the "normal" way. He basically just saved time. And because of that he had more time for other stuff to do to fix this mess of a campaign.

@@Pucukax Games where you can't use the game mechanics in interesting ways to your advantage are boring. This is one of the many many reasons why medieval 2 is better than all total war games that came after it. It's why old rpgs with interesting quirks you can abuse are better than new ones where it's all so goddamn "streamlined" aka mediocre.

The Duke of Wellington famously used the Noob Box tactic to beat Napoleon on the battle of Waterloo (which wasn't even fought by Waterloo incidently that was just where the Iron Duke had his HQ). So using Cheesy tactics are a well established tradition from rl. Also Marius basically used cheesy defensive tactics at Aquae Sextiae that basically was corner camping, and the sarmatians where deploying horse arches against legend at the battle of rome, Horse Archers are defenitly the most cheesy unit there is. Also in Rome TW the AI cheese you, they'll cycle sally out when you're besigning them and not even borther to come out there wall, so you'll spend 5 fucking hours on doing nothing battles because the AI is fustrating you.

I doubt it’s possible to do this with out cheesy tactics

just win baby

Yup, because back then, no one knew that running general around the city was a legit defensive tactic

fat Dog we’ve gotta crown Legend as the successor to Rome

Their campaign is supposed to be fucked to be entirely fair

1984 is not a handbook WRONG

Turn off anti-aliasing

Definately luck thats how computer programms work 😂

@@spirit959ful You can get lucky because older programmes behave differently on different modern hardware and software.

Id recommend removing shadows and foliage. Theres also a setting for "special effects" like dust and fire. Those were the onrs I turned off as the shadows in this game are really fucking ugly and so is the foliage and special effects.

Wow now that's quite a reference. Long live Star Wars EU!

🏰 😍

Well it would be about as accurate as giving them Italian accents.

u. s. is the most powerful world empire currently , so they just draw conclusions

Their language

Ben Young the Englishman drinks tea the Frenchman surrenders and the German wants to start a war

I was the one who sent it to him. I deliberately fucked it up and I had to literally move the Sarmation armies next to Rome using cheat codes.

Oh, come on, dude...Attila is way better than R2TW in all possible ways!

+Feel Unique i7 and 1070. Actually, I play Attila on i5 and 1060, but I use comparatively low graphic settings.

AI is more likely to target the general than any other unit

ain't that the truth

@@gearsankylosaurus9624 It /is/

He didint wanted to win, only to destroy the faction... The reason why i didint quite got it, but someone may eventually explain it here after seeing your comment and mine :P

Francisco Maia if i had captured the city the vandals would have become a horde again, even though their last family member would have died. They would get new ones. I had to destroy the faction first which mean i had to lose the battle.

@@LegendofTotalWar Wow, I didn't think of that at all. Thanks for resolving our doubt!!

Its a shame ! But to each his own

?

Napoleon is undoubtably the best of the two, but I'd say if you are really interested in that type of warfare buy Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai, it's portrayal of Line Infantry warfare is far more competent than either!

Jasper van Heycop thank for the reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. I ended up just getting all three because they were still less than if I had just got one by itself before the sale.

@@calebsmith7633 Good choice! To provide some context: Empire has the better map, encompassing almost all the world, and probably the best colonial experience but far inferior combat, graphics Napoleon is a vastly improved Empire but limited to Europe, which is perfectly fine in my book FOTS is brilliant at all of these, especially given the context and tying in how you build your clan and armies in regards to it (the fast modernisation and industrialisation of Japan having consequences)

peasants only give half the public order in Barbarian Invasion.

It doesn't interest me. I prefer to just play single player campaigns. I used to do multiplayer but I found it a very unsatisfying experience.

LegendofTotalWar uhmm. I think i can relate about that campaign always put ypy on different situation but as you play ai is always fooled

@@mr.castlelover7057 better than playing against idiots who form massive pike squares around their entire army

Ryo Asuka The Total War multiplayer experience can become quite cancerous indeed, especially against randoms.

LegendofTotalWar Get gud
