[@ImKibitz]

Let me know if you have any custom map ideas! If you want to see me play more check out this playlist: goo.gl/Md6Znb

[@slayerofthegalexy9245]

i fell like youtubers have better luck i get 50 snipers on the map and 2 ballista's at every wall the 70th wave / day kills my ps for me if the vod is close to my base i build to it and use 1 sniper or 2 rangers and slowly take it down

The Hard Path to Victory: One hero Lucifer must make it to one end of the map without dying. Most of the map is filled with spitty boys... use whatever expendable men you have, BUT DO NOT LET LUCIFER FALL. That's my idea anyway.

[@pooto9321]

how about a literal billion wave *a literal one*

[@MyNamesJeff493]

17:08 That's the ones running away before. You called them fools, but, they were the smartest of them all.

[@ImKibitz]

OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

[@SparkNo37]

You were betrayed!!! Someone told them about the hidden path!!!!

[@MrZevv]

@@SparkNo37 Its written in History that this happened :)

[@andrewlachica7153]

Even those sneak attacks are historically accurate. That’s how the Persians defeated the Greeks at Thermopylae. Very naise!

[@gouldbowman]

The Giants taking down there own troops helps in that tight mountain pass. They kill 4-6 of their own with each swing. Great Map!

[@player95]

Awesome. Loved it ❤️

[@poplarsilverwolf2651]

Now I want to see 1 billion walker zombies vs Thanatos and Lucifers. It looks amazing just mowing them down with Titans.

[@elementalgolem5498]

Thermopylae, oh what a beautiful battle. lasted multiple days too, 3 to be exact. it started off with roughly 7000 greeks, and estimates ranging from 170 000, to 1 700 000 persians, depending on how much of the invading force made it to the battle, and how large the invading force actually was. on the third day only the 300 royal guards of king leonidas and king leonidas himself, aswell as 700 thespian allies stayed while they sent the other 6000 greek allies (the still living ones that is) back home to prepare greece for its united stand against persia. king leonidas and his mens sacrefice bought greece the valuable time needed to gather a force ready to fight off the persians. a realistic estimate is that the greeks were outnumbered 3 - 1 in the war. so thermopylae where greece only had 7000 total warrios might very well have looked exactly like this video.

[@JamesIbis]

Love your TAB vids man! keep it up!

[@sashasoltys5805]

The Zombies attacking from East could be like the ambush in the film when they attacked them from the narrow path

[@jakeoconnor2014]

Should have done this with Lucifer’s (they are the shield men) and either snipers/Thanatos (archers) like in 300 😂 great video 👍🏻

[@adrgs12]

Maybe you can do a map shaped as an X, where in the middle if the x you'd have your command center and the zombies will spawn for every direction every time, following the every stick of the X. Between each stick you could have resources uthat can't be reached by zombies, this way you focus on defending the command post alone

[@manuelalvarez5679]

Dude there are lots of maps just like that.

[@adrgs12]

Well thats good to hear I'm still waiting for the official workshop tho

[@Hallswaymarketing]

Can you do more walkthroughs of the custom maps. It is not so user-friendly. I have had problems a few times

[@godalmighty207]

It was actually not greece sending the 300! I learned this recently but king leonidas talked to the oracles and they predicted spartas failure in the war. Leonidas ignored them and took his personal guard to hold the hot gates. They actually put a large dent in the persians winning sparta the war

[@domenboh]

yeah, and it was not 300 spartans only. It was 7000 soldiers from all over greece. The spartans only covered the reatreat, and they had 700 Thespians, who fought to the death alongside them. If you get your information from the movie 300, you might aswell make up something by yourself. The movie is pissing all over actual history.

I'm gonna try and remake a favourite Red Alert 2 map of mine, can anyone guess which map...i realise probably not that many people will know much about RA2 though haha.

8:25 lul the Giants can friendly fire the other Zombies

[@kahuna_6424]

Those snipers gave the titans time to tale position. They saved you

[@Doubldra90N]

I think you can take on even bigger waves of zombies in this choke if you set up a proper concave so all your units can shoot at the same time

[@donkeysunited]

The purpose of the 300+ at Thermopylae wasn't to significantly weaken the invaders. It was to hold them long enough for the main Greek and Spartan armies and navies to mobilise. I believe they managed to hold the gap for 7 days before the small defensive force was overrun and massacred. I've loved the tale ever since I read the book by Steven Pressfield.

[@NoOne-xb3jo]

and I believe it was 9,000 soldiers plus, until the last day when the soldiers knew the Persians found another route to around the area they were defending and would be attacking from both sides. Knowing they would all die most of the soldiers retreated except 1,300 which stayed and died. Out of those 1,300, 300 of them were Spartans. That's why the 300s were so famous. This is totally inaccurate

[@benburns9505]

Do it again but with 50 or 100 thanatos

[@Beef1188]

why not just use 300 mutants and amp up the waves even more? Yes, I'm a psicho!

[@pooto9321]

there wasn't mutants in the game then

[@FlameHawke]

Opinion- Place assets in the wider places, and force hostiles into the narrower spots? Would that be worth a re-do? Also- it *looked* [and I could be totally wrong] that if you had waited those missing baddies might have word-wrapped from the east- it seemed the first group to 'cheat' was the one that retreated. Very curious to learn how the game handles pathing boundaries-

[@diego8300]

How many zombies you killed already ? I mean that achievement counting zombie killed , bcs in your vids you kill them a lot xD

[@maryarian864]

What's the music you use Kibitz?

[@jacyjohnson8636]

Not to be negative but the Spartans weren't the only ones there and there were 4-5 thousand foreign troops allied with the Spartans 300 troops

[@ImKibitz]

Yeah I wanted to base this off the movie depiction since I thought most people would be familiar with it.

[@jacyjohnson8636]

Makes sense :-)

[@Grimmsborith1992]

@@ImKibitz try to not base something good on something terrible, because it will be at best meh xD but a cool Map idea :) Would love something like the black forest with gigantic patches of Forest forming small Chokes, but also with very little space to build. Maybe have very few circular niches in it. You will be overglowing with wood and maybe food, but space and other ressources should be hard to get.

[@jeewonjung2506]

@@Grimmsborith1992 Don't know how you can say that the historically accurate final stand of 300+ Spartans, Thespians, and Thebans can be considered something terrible considering that you haven't done anything nearly as epic or brave. Don't make me laugh man. XD

[@Grimmsborith1992]

@@jeewonjung2506 i meant the Movie. Not the Deed. It is agreeable a great achievement to hold of an Army that dwarves your allied forces. Even though the Poets of Athens were advised to exaggerate it(very propable) it is still a great achievement. The Movie though spread misinformation, created a wrong depiction of the Soldiers (which would die rapidly if equiped like that), shows stupid battle tactics (rushing in and going 1vs1), wrong locational setting (it was between the sea and a mountainflank, not between cliffs or in a Canyon) and the lack of Athenian Battleships (preventing surrounding from sea). Also depicted the Persian as pretty hard assholes. They were actually more liberators from local warlords than Conquerors, getting everything under a not so harsh book of law instead the will of a single. Also: Jelly-blood (bad CGI-blood).

[@Anoninchains]

0:36 actually the greeks 7,000 units, 300 of which were spartans.

[@Spoon80085]

Prussian Mapping and it was to slow down the Persians, not weaken them (he also pronounced it wrong)

[@mark9152]

True, there were 300 Spartans. But the total number of Greeks there, based on modern estimates, is around 7,000 soldiers.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

Of which, 700 Thespians (ever so often forgotten by history) remained along the 300 Spartans to hold the line while the other 6000 or so redeployed.

[@cristianofalvo2561]

23:35 zombi expert kkkkkk

[@Rookie-0117]

What if you made a maze like map littered with zombies and towns of doom?

[@ant.ng0]

I hope you know the total overall amount of greeks who defended the path were to be believed to be between 6000-7000 greeks including the 300 spartans reason being it was a coalition effort.

[@death299]

the part of the battle that is immortalized only had 1,500 men on the greek side 700 thesbians 300 spartans 400 thebians (who didn't die and claimed to be against their will..which would make sense given they later marched with persia) and some helots who were mostly there as support had the 6,000 remained the battle wouldn't have been immortalized in the first place, as they may have been able to hold out as was the initial plan until the holiday's were over and the real force could march

[@ant.ng0]

@@death299 Thanks, the more you know :)

[@hircine92h]

how do I play on a map that I created on the editor?

[@Runetrantor]

The perfect 'guilty pleasure' map would either have to be a corridor flanked by titans and thanatos behind fences, or a straight corridor with lucifers at the end just like a firewall.

[@Misterkill800]

it was 300 spartans with thousands of allied greeks against a army of hundreds of thousands persians.

[@pandi7668]

how many kills???

As an Ancient History student your explanation hurt me pretty bad... but you're still okay I guess. 💖

[@MrCorey389]

Mate you don't need to be a ancient history student to get hurt by his lack of knowledge about the battle of Thermopylae, i only learn Greek mythology as a random past-time and it hurts a little to listen to his intro.

[@nqkoi159]

Hi. Do a map where you have only one unit and you have to run around and clear the whole map, which has like a maze or something, and also you can maybe help the unit with some limited number of walls.

[@ImKibitz]

Hmm 1 unit would be meh, however a small squad of units having to run through a zombie maze could be VERY interesting!

[@nqkoi159]

OK, however you can make it work :)

[@nqkoi159]

Oh, and also finding resources on the map here and there, protected by zombies, and using the resources to do stuff that make you stronger somehow if possible.
