Thpitfire

can already see spartan commander's "old school old fashioned, morale based" roman army

gg wanna see you play pikes in 31k xd

ggWP yeah the lag was unfort especially in the cavfights

What kind of thumbnail is that man? Is that Kronos?

10:30 hwhat trrick is that to make archers less vulnerable, i must knowe

gg

whats the archer trick? 10:00

classic bh battle, i wish i wasnt perma banned from this fun

BH games are fever dreams man literally anything can happen

A stunning battle

I get why you’d be into the brutii and their cashflow if you’re paying new york rent. I’m in a southwestern town myself, so I mostly play Thrace.

great speech xd, and where is rome in the tier list lol

best way to win phalanx formation is put medium infantry sword unit in lose mode and basically surround phalanx formation from both flank & make sure you not charge to phalanx walk and turn on guard mode

Love the Armenia unit roster, my favorite roster in OG Rome total war.

i loved this game but personally i think rome 2 is better

Hello! You should submit to a leaderboard? Have you consider?

Looks dope but I am nowhere NEAR good enough to compete in a tournament lol

Amernia Legionaries is good unit, if you can rush Rome before 240 BC . If you kill Rome it will be the best all around infantry in the game. You can have an all cavs calvary or a hybrid heavy armor army of 5 Heavy Spear, 5 Armenia Legionaries and 4-5 Cara HA , 4-5 HA . Exellent on both siege or field

Another Troll Noob Box added to the collection

Why naked fanatics instead of the armour protection of bull warriors? Plus they have pila. Edit: grammar

I've always had a soft spot for Armenia

in 2024 still using noob box to win battles im gonna lose xD

The discord link doesn’t work

Dis is gayest shit iv ever seen

I don't really get the logic. Don't chariots hard counter all melee cav? It's like saying cataphracts are trash because they die when they run into pikes. Or archers are bad because they get hunted down by fast cav??

Some comments why not. If you have a unit that can form testudo, there is a very shitty tactic ultra effective which consists on taking an unit, put it in testudo, make it walk upon one side of the phalanx(frontally, it doesnt matter), but don't click the unit, click past the unit so the testudo keeps trying to go forward. It works best the higher the defense, but basically what happens is the testudo compreses against the phalanx, really tiny. Then you click to undo the testudo, and as it does, the fucking game moves everything out, undoing the phalanx and basically delivering legionaries or whatever to the heart of the now shittyswordsman-hoplites-falangites. This is shit because it's obviously a fucking glitch or bug or unintended consecuence, but it is stupidly effective and the utter disbelieve it made me feel when it first happened in multiplayer many many years ago still makes me want to bash whoever it was. Regarding the making of boxes, you just have to leave a phalanx unit as reserve in the center, if the enemy uses the concentrated attack described in the video, when the breaking it's happening, take that, in phalanx formation, make it walk clicking past the enemy and when it has made good contact, just stop them, clink clink clink clink ensues and soon enemy units, which, being concentrated, have a hard time really pressing the numeric advantatge, get decimated as usual. If you have enough units, you can just double phalanx it in all sides. Missiles can be an issue, but you are using Heavy Phalanx or similar, the enemy needs too much missiles, to the point that you can just form a line of battle and steamroll them instead of using a box.

Ahh, the old Tercio Tactics, exept the the lack of bucklers (Rodeleros)

I'm sorry, the Internet was turned off, it rarely happens, the time is late, I went to bed.

Can I play as the Chad Emperor Aurelian on this game?

ggs u should won that last 2v2, maybe i need to upgrade my internet i think xd

Wow I played this competitively in 2004-2006, can't believe it still has a competitive scene. People tried noob boxes back in those days, but infantry were severely underpowered in the patch versions I played in, and boxes were easy to break.

My eyes were bleeding from watching the games with the chinese guy. Lag was pain

Imagine a real world general rage quitting a battle in real life kuz the Russians are corner camping?🤣🤣

100k views well done luke :)

Can you make a video on how to use missile units properly, and how to negate them. As well as skirmish mode

2:15 “we are talking about a dude from Azerbaijan who can’t even kill Armenians 😂😂😂😂😂”

It's crazy how much better the combat was in these old games compared to the new ones lol

Chariots? Elephants?

Damn, I'd absolutely love a tier list for each RTW faction. I have no interest in online play, I'm just here for the nostalgia. There were so many units I thought were awesome that are probably total trash in reality.

Assaulting that with cannon is a dream come true

We all know that the best unit is: TRIARII (Sorry)

A big thing at Carrhae was not that he had a decisive strike but that he had infinite missile superiority. Roman heavy infantry always struggled against mounted archers and the box strategy just left them toothless and defenseless. Ive used it for fighting Huns in Attila and it works there because, eventually, they run out of arrows on testudo formations and you can fight them conventionally

Is it easy to transfer replays from the disc version to the steam version?

This guide was actually useful for me. I'm basically a noob now in terms of how to set the game up it's been so long since I've played.

Germans are my favorite high money faction but I might have to put praetorian cohort in 5th instead of zerks. They don't get used because of urbans existing but they are technically almost as good of a unit. I guess it depends on what rules you are using. Sometimes 30k used to be played on TWPL rules which were max 6 same units. Praet cohort became way more useful then.
