NOOB'S GUIDE to RHESUS | A TOTAL WAR SAGA: Troy

[@MrSarwat]

Does less than Boba Fett, still gets fame like a champ!

[@codybonds]

He IS the Boba Fett of the Trojan War! What a wonderful comparison.

[@MrSarwat]

@@codybonds I can already taste that Rhesus tv series coming!

[@Rukdug]

Rhesus: "I have finally defeated the Scythian invaders and come to help Troy." Diomedes: "And I took that personally." Odysseus: "And he dragged me along for it."

[@Rukdug]

In all seriousness though, the deadliest dynamic Danaan duo are essentially the only reason that the Achaeans win the Trojan War. Need Achilles for a set of prophecies? Pthian Prince Procured. Need a bold night attack? Taken care of. New endless host of enemies that have been hardened by 9 years of battle experience against the bloody SCYTHIANS (who terrified the Achaeans at this point)? Kill their leader and steal his horses. Still can't take down the bloody walls after fulfilling every prophecy and killing Hector? Come up with and execute the boldest plan in espionage and siege warfare to date in the entire Agean sea.

[@randomanonymousperson7582]

IMO, the deadliest Achaean Duo would be Diomedes and Great Ajax. They were the ones who carried the team whilst Achilles was raging away

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

"Oh man, Rhesus has entered the Ring, so the Greeks are REALLY in trouble now! Come on Achilles, the Greeks need you, get back in the- wait, is that Odysseus coming in with the steel chair _again?!?_ It is! He's already taken down the Thracian King! This man just CANNOT be STOPPED!"

[@beisskindlpbeisskind2438]

Ah yes. The man the myth the legend. Getting shanked in his sleep and robbed in a matter of Andy’s after arriving at Troy.

[@beisskindlpbeisskind2438]

Of a day*

[@sceligator]

Those damn Andy's shanking people in their sleep!

[@thomasdaywalt7735]

Though you have to give credit to Odysseus and diamonds being a very epic duo

[@Qardo]

Rhesus was just pissed because someone stole his Peices. So pissed that even 3000 years. His rage of his stolen Peices have never been found and was shanked over them.

[@kanyeedigit9215]

Fun historical fact, We remember rhesus so well today because of his famous invention the "peanut butter cup" and changed the world as we know it

[@AzoiatheCobra]

Diomedes so Godly he decapitates a guy with a roundhouse kick

[@Rukdug]

Like any Mythological Greek Chuck Norris would do

[@dnaseb9214]

Ah, beastmen finaly made it to Saga Troy. Thats how you know the Illiad is real. Because people get stabbed in their sleep before the epic fight. Only in real life can such random events happen.

[@sibanbgd100]

It's commonplace suntzuing

[@trashcanRadroach]

its a shame troy had such a rough start because the devs really put in the extra mile for the dlcs. This new one is rediculous in scale, its almost like if there was a DLC for Warhammer 1 that added both kislev and the southern rhelms in a single lord pack

[@Killer66hitman]

I love the way you put that, "Rhesus is one of the great "What Ifs" of the Trojan War"

[@nedaraid3372]

I was actually looking forward to the Thracians, a shame they decided to reveal them in the midst of the Nurgle + Slaanesh news.

[@codybonds]

Announcing it the middle of Warhammer 3s news cycle was a sure way to see it buried.

[@offensivelyannoying1967]

I don’t even play this Total War but your videos are just so entertaining.

[@ThePanzerKamph]

Thank you that was short and sweet.

[@luskieman]

Now i just have the Reese's puffs rap on my mind..... I got Rhesus puffs in my bowl, Now my chariot on cruise control, I got Rhesus puffs in my bowl, and just like that my campaign is on a roll!

[@ΣτέλιοςΚωτούλας]

As a Greek I have never heard of him

[@Ghost_of_Avalon]

What's your favorite Rhesus? Personally Rhesus pieceus are my favorite!

[@TzvetozarCherkezov]

How did Rhesus end up as DLC for Total War: Troy, you ask? Well, the game is developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and the Thracians (alongside the Slavs and Bulgars) were one of the three peoples that intermingled to create the modern Bulgarians, so it's basically the only way for the developers to infuse a tiny bit of their own culture in the game about Ancient Greece. Fun fact: Bulgarian Antarctic scientists named a glacier after him - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhesus_Glacier

[@TheUrobolos]

Thrace is also in the map, so it was an easy choice to add a new culture

[@islandboyzboys]

Nice video you should do Memnom next

[@mis8866]

Imagine just developing the same game for like 20 years and you STILL can't get cav to actually charge correctly.

[@Dayz3O6]

Love that each factions in Troy have their own unique units compared to WH2 hope that WH3 do the same.

[@greenknightofwar7024]

Isn’t Rhesus the main inspiration for Greasus the Overtyrant?

[@stormsurge2103]

Reject Troy. Return to (Rhesus) monke.

[@codybonds]

That's how you get the movie Outbreak.

[@BlueShiftna]

Great research and presentation but I am disappointed about the way you spoke of the Thracians, as I am Thracian myself. You begin by noting how hard chariots were to come by, as well as reading of the passages written about his golden armor (said to be fit even for the gods), and then you call him a 'filthy barbarian' in the next lines. How could we have so rich in antiquity if we were 'filthy barbarians?' I'm glad you've clearly done your research for this video, however I hope this perception of us doesn't remain We had/ were: - More gold than all the Greeks: so much so that it was Rome's greatest financial victory in history once they conquered us (Dacian wars). They were also great goldsmiths, working with it since 4000 b.c (check the Old European/ Thracian/ Dacian treasures) - We were some of the greatest architects and engineers in history: employed throughout the whole of the Roman empire+ many of Troy's weapons coming from Thrace/ Dacia- also forced the Romans to adapt their helmets in the Dacian wars. - Revered in the ancient world: only conquered peoples to have statues made of them by Rome- they used red marble which was reserved only for emperors and gods, our statues were 7+ feet tall to symbolize a larger-than-life peoples, and many of our statues would be built on top of stands decorated with Roman Gods (extraordinarily disrespectful to place someone you hate physically on par with your gods if you ask me) and were the only peoples sculpted by the Greeks fully clothed aside from their gods (symbolizes a trace of divinity within Thracians, as they wouldn't be sculpted in the same vulnerable, human way the Greeks often did of themselves. - Brilliant fighters: hired all around the ancient world- making up a majority of the Athenian private military of antiquity, a large portion of Alexander the Great's Macedonian armies later on, as symbolized by our Phrygian caps, over 1/3 of legions in Rome were from Thrace, Moesia, or Dacia which are Thracian regions, and more. You also noted our 'barbarian shield-less fighting techniques. Well those are the same tactics used in the Peloponnesian war by the Athenians and allied Thracians. These saw battles in which heavily armored Spartans would loose out to lightly armored long ranging Thracian peltasts. - A deeply religious culture: many Greek gods originate from the Thracians including Apollo, Dionysus, Orpheus and many more. Were also followers of faiths similar to Christianity, with the Orphic and Zalmoxian faiths, and believed "that they do not die, but that he who perishes goes to the god" as per Herodotus. - An early foundation of civilization: research the Old Danubian peoples of Old Europe. These peoples had cities of 20,000+ peoples 9,000 years ago, also attributed to the first use of the wheel, writing before that of Sumer, and the domestication of the horse. The Pelasgians whom would proceed them would be the bridge between Asia and Europe- an afterglow to the civilizations it would foster. - Masters of art, music and theater: Influenced the Greeks, primarily the Athenians all throughout history. Many wealthy Athenians would adopt Thracian fashion, as per its colors and designs. Also popularized the Thracian cap; which was depicted often on art and worn by Greeks in the forms of Helmets- even some Greek gods were depicted as wearing the Phrygian cap. -Resilient to outside forces (still need to write) - One of the highest populations of the ancient world (still need to write) Famous Thracian or partial Thracian figures: Constantine the Great Justinian the Great Belisarius Spartacus Leo I the Thracian Justin I Galerius Licinius Cotys I Seuthes I, II, & III Teres I Amadocus Burebista Decebalus (still need to write) Other peoples related to the Thracians (still need to write) Influences (still need to write) Sources (still need to write)
