Hey, I played Macedon and I wanted to catch the Carthaginian forces off guard. I also had 2 sally outs during that time. It didn’t quit work as well as I wanted but I made up for it in the end.

[@raisedTwIsTeD]

Rome had no plan. He was lined up all nice and pretty looked like he was going to have a tiered fight cycling in and out one row at a time, then he just charged everything in at once and impaled himself on spears.

[@valentinoheartfield2542]

Omg I have heard that warband sound before in your videos and I was going insane wondering why warband music was playing. Now I know.

[@dancingtk]

Talk about the Iceni more. That commander sure knew what he was doing. Highest KD ratio in the game and the most troops left alive. That chariot move was brilliant. Those archers could've been a much bigger problem to his allies pikes later on

At the end of the Battle of Thermopylae there were 7,000 other free Greeks

[@bendeguzborda5902]

Yes, it was a combined force, but when they realized that they are going to get flanked most of them fled. Only 300 spartans and 700 thebens remained. So yeah poor thebens nobody remembers them

[@lucasavelli2945]

@@bendeguzborda5902 Erodotus recounts that the Spartans forced the thebans to stay because they were suspected to cooperate with the Persians, and they did. Poor thebans? The thespians stayed and died with the Spartans though

[@bendeguzborda5902]

@@lucasavelli2945 sorry my bad (altrough there are some speculations that the thebens, who fought were helping the greeks against the will of their city) I tought of the tespians, but I heard this thing long ago.

[@lucasavelli2945]

@@bendeguzborda5902 no problem; it is not very clear what were those thebans doing since the sources contradict each other. Maybe the Spartans forced them to stay, maybe they were thebans who opposed the Theban policy of cooperation with the Persians.

[@TheMHB199]

What's also funny is if we look at it through today's moral compass the Persians were the good guys. They didnt have the same level of slavery as the Greeks. Thier empire covered a huge area and as such had a lot more different races and peoples and cultures. Same for religion and there was significant religious freedom which almost no other empires have ever had to the same level. And to top it all off they achieved in Greece what their military aims were. So technically it was mission successful despite the Greek suicide mission at Thermopylae and the other battles that happened.

I have yet to see one of these games where the defenders don't win. Only 1 game out of the 20+ I have watched did the attackers win.

[@morgoth1179]

I think Apollo missed it but there was a moment off screen when the ranged defenders on the hill killed all the Syrian archers who got too close. Those archers could have made a huge difference either killing the defending range or pikes. Great replay Apollo!

[@jimmydean4494]

The Roman army sure did give that away.

[@raheljamil1001]

One of elephant tactics in incendiary pig or flaming pig were recorded by the military writer Polyaenus and by Aelian.Both writers reported that Antigonus II Gonatas' siege of Megara in 266 BC was broken when the Megarians doused some pigs with combustible pitch, crude oil or resin, set them alight, and drove them towards the enemy's massed war elephants. The elephants bolted in terror from the flaming, squealing pigs, often killing great numbers of their own soldiers by trampling them to death.According to an account, Gonatas later made his mahouts keep a swine among elephants to accustom the animals to pigs and this practice was immortalized by a Roman bronze coin dating back to his time, which showed an elephant on one side and a pig on the other.
