Hope you enjoyed! If you were the Roman commander, how would you have dealt with Hannibal's elephants on the battlefield?

How were the carthaginians able to supply feed for them in the middle of winter? Attack their supply and let them starve.

You guys should use some mods like divide et impera. The units look a lot cooler(and historical) than these base game ones. Something that you guys should also do that apparently isnt being done in the recordings of unit movement is to synchronize large clashes. I keep seeing one unit at a time charging. It looks cooler to pause the game and synchronize a mass coordinated order and then unpause the game so all orders happen at the same time(I am sure that pause can be edited out) instead of units arriving one at a time.

Really enjoyed this Louee and Luke, might be worth a minute or two to describe the contingents iand equipmenty they used before the battle begins. Like the Time Commanders vibe. Would like the Battle of Asculum next up in Ancient theatre, or Isandlwana in 19th century if possible.

Great video, love the series. I'd like to see you tackle the Battle of Cunaxa (401 BC) which was fought between two Persian brothers, Cyrus the Younger and Artaxerxes II. In Cyrus' army were a force of 10,000 mercenary Greek hoplites, and their exploits and adventures getting back home after the battle were recorded by Xenophon.

Which Rome 2 battle map did you use? It looks like a fun river crossing to play!
@agesanderas32502 жыл бұрын
For anyone who is interested, I believe the map used was the Akink river crossing in the Season Winter, on a dry day, where the Romans are the attackers and the Carthaginians are the defenders.
@agesanderas32502 жыл бұрын
This is my best guess (you can look for it on the danube river in the grand campaign river crossing presets).

I’ve always hated that quote about Hannibal not knowing how to use a victory, like he was supposed to siege Rome with a battered force, no siege weapons, no support, and no ability to hold it if he even was able to take it. An attempted siege of Rome would’ve left all of Hannibal’s army in a mass grave outside the city.

More than likely a child sacrifice was involved in Hannibal’s oath to always be Rome’s enemy. Carthaginians loved their child sacrifices. So much so that when the Romans sacked Carthage they were appalled at what they saw.

It's true, the Carthaginians migrated to north Africa from modern day Israel. They were the biblical Canaanites. En child sacrifices wre part of their _religion_ the bible mentions it

I believe the confusion comes from the fact that only one Asian elephant (Surus) survived the campaign in Italy, but most (23 of 37) appear to have crossed the mountains.
