[@nighthawk3305]

​@@redjive_industries3760on god, I was once in a war pretty entrenched there was a complete stalemate, arty was pretty random, but out of nowhere the arty became pin point it was fucking scary

[@Lughrochben]

Honestly, Rome vs. Samurai is a pretty awesome concept. Though you could argue back then it would've been more the Byzantine Romans vs the Samurai, wondering how the conflict would go if Rome had survived long enough to advance their tactics to the medieval era would've been interesting.

[@chuckn4851]

I mean, the East did survive well into the medieval era...for all intents and purposes the Eastern/Byzantine Romans *were* the Roman Empire.

[@purplenurp5590]

the eastern roman empire survived until the first crusades with the fall of Constantinople

[@danscga2487]

yeah, it would be a cool universe to see, Roman in the Modern Era of Warfarm mixed with Melee combat

[@slacksviii9824]

The fall of eastern Rome is what ended the medieval era actually

[@TheBetterBleedingBladesYouTube]

@@purplenurp5590Actually, even further! The crusaders were during the 1000s. The city and the state as a whole fell in the mid 1400s to the Ottomans!

[@planetfromroblox1203]

Actually comes up on my exam lol

[@RubixRaptor]

I’ve once again subjected Ignis to my deranged alternate history schemes and I have few regrets. (Besides all the kit bashed mods wanting to explode our server at every chance it gets). Next time we’re fighting the Aztecs on the moon or something. (Also as been aptly pointed about the intro, the samurai did historically have guns so I amend that to "samurai with machine guns". c:)

Hello, could you make a new video of Resistance Fall Of Man in Arma 3, please?

[@stryderz5494]

hey quick question how do you get the melee mod and ace3 to work together

[@Gearshoot]

Should be fun. Also, can a another Resistance op happen? I kinda want to see the air corps refuse to lose again.

It's like that one combat video of the one Yemeni soldier fighting off 4 Houthis nearly all at once on the peak of a hill.

[@NiskaMagnusson]

the sheer contrast between the highly structured, well-written lore and the goofy memeing and comical editing gives me tonal whiplash, and I keep coming back for more.

[@commanderyew2312]

Watching Jay and his friends become Past-Tense is always a bright part of my day

[@aussieman4791]

Bro it's good to see Shanghai used, I worked on the southern part of the map but it was never fully finished. Amazing to see what you guys have done with it!

[@RubixRaptor]

One of the coolest maps we've seen in awhile!

[@inductivegrunt94]

I really love this Modern Rome style game going on here. It's so cool and seeing the utter carnage going on as they fight against Samurai with guns. This entire scenario and the chaos it creates as a result is so awesome!

[@salvagedude625]

wanna hear a joke? Saying samurai with guns is like saying PIN number

[@rdoozy]

The worst thing Jay can do to a squad is acknowledge their existence because then they immediately get drawn into his sphere of chaos and targeted

[@jimbo3671]

Fun fact: The way to defeat samurai taught to the regular soldier was quite literally overwhelming numbers. While the way to defeat a medieval knight (specifically germanic or heavy cavalry which were often so heavily armored that they were near impossible to harm with the standard line infantry short sword and spear/pike) was hit to them in the head with the pommel of your sword until they hopefully stop moving and pray to God they don't become conscious enough to fight back (or just kill you before you can get close enough)

[@mhmsurething]

Honestly, sounds about right!

[@alexanderthegreat6682]

Another strategy for fighting knights was just to grapple them and hope you can get a knife in the armpit or eyeslit

[@benjaminparent4115]

I mean sure quantity is a good way to defeat your opponent when you don't have quality. But heavy cavalry got wrecked once countries were able to more reliably field organised infantry that wouldn't break formation at the first charge, the pike square is what brought the end of frontal heavy cavalry charge during the late middle age. So I personally would say that that pikes and long spear are more than enough to arm a knight. And even heavy cavalry during antiquity tended to flank organised formation like phalanx rather than charge the front. That's where the hammer and anvil strategy come from.

[@Pellimori]

So best bet against a medieval knight at close range is to just *bonk*. Got it.

[@thelastjedii]

@@Pellimori no no you dont get it it has to be a big ba bonk a donk

[@BLOODANGELS579]

That one man that fought five samurai all by himself, needs the highest award there

[@ZackStormYT]

5:40 props to desrat that 1v4 was actually pretty dang impressive!!!!

[@jamescousins9216]

4:30 "Chowder this wholesome animated found family comedy got me questioning my loyalty to Rome." 4:31 The appropriate response. 8:10 I think that's a cool little detail to add. Even silly and otherwise insane settings can feel alive from little consistencies like that.

[@brairag5744]

*> Machinegun in a superior fighting position:* **Exists** *> Maru, with a sword:* And I took exception to that. c:

[@GenuineGuitar56]

In the first bit of this video before rubix is reduced to atoms from a grenade, I can see him happily strolling down a trench as bullets and artillery whizzes and explodes around him, a cup of coffee in one hand and a gun in the other

[@ironclamp5325]

Yay! More future Romans! I loved the first video and hope to see more from this. The alternate history/universe y’all have made with this is fun.

[@tanks608]

This was such a fun op, had a blast the whole time!

[@Survivor00]

Jay, just wanted to comment and say that you're my favorite content creator on KZbin right now. Every video you post leaves me in tears with laughter, and there's no other KZbinr whose videos I look forward to more. Your editing, friends, and your reactions to the absolute batshit insanity that Ignis gets into are incredible. Thank you for all the laughs, and I hope you continue to have a good year!

[@dantebond8124]

I like the Fun Fact about the Mural Crown. If you continue the alternate time-line, can you add more fun facts? Make it like a tidbit staple for the series.

[@warbrand2]

6:00 - Jamsheed has truly become a legend lmao

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

*Truck used battering ram* *Shinobi used deflect slash. It was super effective*

[@luka_unleashed307]

"they`re powerless without their heads!" just brings to mind that japanese folklore has disembodied heads (wether man or animal) as a type of yokai, while europe has headless monsters, like the medival artistic depiction of giants having no head and a face on their chest, also, the headless horsemen.

[@amphitheremajesticon4928]

Man Desrat needs to get some awards with that quad-gladius kill!

[@epiktom5768]

Romogus should be hidden in every Rome Never Fell video.

[@dakotamartin7745]

I only just heard the legend of Jamsheed yesterday and the reference at 6:03 made me giggle

[@thisisalie-ft8cv]

Ok, we gonna talk about Desrat casually killing four combatants at the same time in melee combat? Like give this man a medal!

[@TheSagaOfGregGetsRekt]

Loved the reference to my boy Jamsheed the Rocket God at 6:03

[@Mentalysilly]

I beg for longer videos. 20 minute videos would be amazing. every video is so good and I wish they lasted longer

Dude....Desrat456 at 5:41 WAS AN ANIMAL!!!!! FOR THE EMPEROR!

I love these videos and I feel it's forever between each one but its worth the wait for the amount of laughter to follow watching,thank you so much rubix ❤

[@TetchyDesert]

This video is complete Ignis chaos and i wouldnt have it any other way! Especially durimg the opening moments of tbe urban battle, that friggin jamsheed refrence was so true. Love the videos my guy!

[@SardonicEffigy]

I said it on the last video, and I will say it on this one. I really love this concept, a sort of story built around the absolute chaos that is these operations. Now I really want to see a continuation to the eventual Fall of Rome. Get us a tragedy fit for the ages!

"Samurai with guns"? So somewhere in this 1000 year vicinity of history :)

[@agentmc7868]

4:31 i already hear that music.

[@warlordmain5084]

I really liked the fact about the walled crown. To show this, I would like to share a Roman fact in return. A Triumph was the biggest celebration a victorious general could get. They would parade down the main road in Rome, show off their army, the spoils of war, important war prisoners, throw gold to the crowd, and finish by offering a sacrifice to Mars. Because Rome also wanted people to be somewhat humble, there was also a guy standing next to the general who’s job was to just say stuff like, “You’re going to die and none of this will matter when that happens.”

[@michaelthayer5351]

Japan vs Rome in many ways is similar to the First Punic War. The Japanese like the Carthaginians are a naval people while Rome a predominantly land power. While the Roman Navy did eventually win the attritional contest in the Punic Wars, afterwards in the Era of Pax Romana and Mare Nostrum the Roman navy became little more than an anti-piracy force and and a taxi service for the Legions, so it is likely Japan would also have the advantage on the sea after the Roman Navy atrophied. For Japan to win it needs to successfully leverage its naval dominance and dictate the time and place of battles and campaigns to make the most use of limited resources, while Rome needs to do what it did to the Carthaginians and bring its economic, manpower, and resource superiority to bear to grind down the Nexus Shogunate in a war of attrition.
