Yaa dude want to see more Rome 2 campaign. Really enjoyed this campaign and I just got your channel it is awesome buddy..

[@tylorsmith7580]

DEI is bloated trash. AI are dumb as hell in it. At least in the mods I use ai is actually worth a shit

[@balegoferidu9378]

I'm a bit late here, but the symbol on the shield is a lambda. It's the Greek equivalent to the letter "L." They had L on their shields because people did not refer to Sparta by the city's name in ancient times. They referred to it as Laconia. It is only in recent modernity that the polity became synonymous with the city of Sparta. An equivalent example in modern times is if everyone suddenly started referring to the United States as Washington until Washington stuck.

[@thesaurus9226]

you beat me to it - But it was actually called Lacedaemon

[@z_galanistak9192]

U are pretty much right except the Λ standed for lacedaemon (feminine) which is the area of laconia .....a spartan would be called lacedaemon (masculine) but lacedaemonios was more common

[@Hockey-gn2tj]

@@z_galanistak9192this is literally so fascinating where could I learn this type of stuff?

[@bean1127]

I’m a bit late to this, but that’s a neat fact thank you

[@georgethakur]

Another fun-fact -- what you see on those shields is the upper-case lambda. The lower-case lambda is the symbol of the Half-Life games.

[@legioxequestris4202]

Holy shit.... A Total War let's play where the KZbinr dosen't sit on the faction selection screen and talk for 20 minutes.... You sir got a like!!!!

[@legioxequestris4202]

@Challenge 26rus The mod clearly states that it's intended to be played on normal.

[@slxxky4641]

@Challenge 26rus This mod is really hard, even on normal.

[@fourlamb1]

@Challenge 26rus I see you have no concept of the Mod.

[@Gabriel-sy2bp]

@Challenge 26rus I was surprised he didn't choose easy I played the mod on hard and I kid you not I had attila Western Rome flashbacks it was brutal just like in Attila I wanted to cry lmao

[@Gabriel-sy2bp]

@Challenge 26rus ya I have been playing Total War games since Rome 1 yet till this day I can't play either Attila or Rome 2 on legendary

[@obadgoungampo7804]

Hopefully we can have this series for at least 20 episodes

[@mariuss1590]

20? Be thankful for like 5 lol

[@georgecockfield436]

How about 22? Hmmmmm?

[@willnox1]

Sadly never

[@joeharvey2192]

Go east into Asia minor a bit, I always find it fun when Rome is allowed to build up and become a major threat.

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Very nice start to the campaign! Been a long time fan and you partly inspired me to start my channel. Can’t wait to see Part 2! 🙏

[@SimpzyTotalWar]

Thanks man! Best of luck with the channel!

[@arikthewarlord2498]

For me Rome 2 DEI is the best total war. ive been playing it sense release and im still playing it today.

[@Kanenas215]

Yeah normal rome2 just doesn't have this depth that DEI has

[@lock2444]

Other factions like you less if you declare war and attack on the same turn, makes it harder to secure trade.

[@dragonmasterofficial6021]

Btw the letter on the shield is not a capital A but a capital Λ in Greek vocab representing their name Lακεδαιμόνιοι (Lacedaemonians). Sparta was the region name like Athens but they were called Lacedaemonians ^-^

[@SimpzyTotalWar]

cool!

[@dragonmasterofficial6021]

@@SimpzyTotalWar I actually wasn't expecting an answer in a 1 year old video XD

[@sierra6280]

Lacedaemon was a Mythical King of Sparta and Her Wife was Sparta

[@thewhiteboy3212]

744 kills from that horse unit at the first battle was nuts

[@bastiat691]

There was two kings in Sparta, not just one.

[@names_are_useless]

Koinon ton Aitolon means "Aetolian League" in Greek. They existed between 4th century BC-188 BC and were in opposition to to Macedon and the Achaean League (the peninsula of Sparta).

Glad you enjoy it!

What a coincidence I started a Sparta DeI today too.

Good luck!

The Λ is a lambda and stands for Laconia, the province Sparta is in!

Being always one of 4 Matt's in every school classroom going up i promises myself when I have children they will have unique names. My daughter is named after the first woman to win an Olympic medal. She was a spartan princess.

[@SirTravis-vn6yp]

Wow I haven't seen this game in forever, last time i seen it was when I was 10 watching Lionheart lol

[@kiethmergard]

I love it when people get super historically inaccurate with weapons from well known civilizations. It's very funny and amusing.

[@SimpzyTotalWar]

Huh ❔

[@Zachariahs3842]

I just love the way you say Spartan

[@Dexadrinne]

You mentioned that you added other mods. Would you so kind as to name what mods you are using please?

[@deny4862]

Amazing video and nice start with sparta! Can you say what submods are you using or do you have somewhere the list ?

[@TheWolfet1]

I had too comment about the goat in 300 playing the flute thing lmao wtf idk the last time I thought of it

[@CapVel]

Fun fact! Ares is in fact NOT THE God of War, there are 2 he and his sister are both God's of their own respected aspect of war, ares being the God of combat and murder Athena being the Godess of strategies and tactics.

[@jarlnils435]

Ares is the god of war, but I know what you want to say. There is War as a own deity. Not god of war but simply War. His name is Polemos. His daughter is Alala the warcry.

[@carlroy]

Hi would you be so kind to show a link to the HD update texture for the divid et impera unit? Thank you so much

[@RandomPersoneditz]

THIS IS SPARTA

[@Hasahn.]

After the Greek peninsula maybe retake the former Greek cities in Italy

[@kristofevarsson6903]

I once had a spy fail 13 times in a row. I was seriously pissed. The first 13 turns of my campaign and I couldn't do fuck-all with one of my agents. Started as Macedon, went to get Epirus before Sparta got there, we ended up teaming up on their army but Sparta went to the coast to turn into a navy to chase the remaining Epirotes down so I had the city to myself. Spy failed FOUR times. Whatever, I guess. Then I went for Larissa, again my spy failed four more times while I sat at the border for two of those turns to recoup some losses, but I handled it anyway. Athens, three more times. What do I pay you for besides medical bills, you cross-eyed ninja? And the last two were Sparta themselves, and by this point I was well past being surprised and just more and more disappointed. I wonder what the actual odds of that are, or if the Universe says my using Spies goes against the celestial will.

[@04warrick04]

Ok that intro was sick

[@manwlhsgr3490]

first of all i love your channel and as a cretan greek i love your videos i also want if you can to show the family tree in all episodes in the end for a little all members (sorry for my bad English sentences)

[@kmorton54]

I love the DEI mod so looking forward to further videos

[@georgimihalkov9678]

Cool Marco Reus reference 😀

[@loganoldon8924]

The king of Sparta is king of Greece and Athena by literal war. Don’t ask. No one has truely forgotten it. Honestly. The 21st century is something else

Ehi simpzy, if you deploy your spy in enemy territories, you can stole enemy food and increase yours😊

Please continue Roman Lets play DEI with the Roman faction is really nice

[@eRaz0r3]

Why I don't see Antigonidai as same blood on my campaign?

[@cassius573]

Jesus, you really like treating your cavalry like expendable early skirmishers. To the point you don't have numbers to charge the flanks when melee infantry engage. Use the directional buttons of your keyboard to move your infantry line without dissolving the neat formation, it's a neat little trick. I know the fact that you're doing it for KZbin, you're not gonna slow motion or pause to micromanage and this hurts your battle effectiveness. Beyond 8 or 10 units each side it turns into micromanaging hell. Anyhow, my take with hoplite warfare would be pin their infantry in melee as soon as possible with my own hoplites playing defensive. Move lighter infantry around and charge the flanks or the back of their line. If you use cavalry to charge the flanks, be cautious with spearman. By the time they turn to face you, you should be getting out and preparing another charge. I only leave my cavalry engaged with missile or sometimes sword infantry when it's needed. Also, try to make your priority to dismantle enemy cavalry early as they are a pain. Skirmisher enemy cavalry is annoying.

[@theelephantrider8687]

14:10They are barefoot. Ouch.

Hi, I'm new to this mod. I just was wondering if you knew why I'm not able to play as the Greek nations- sparta, Athens, Epirus. Do you know if I need a dlc? If so which one?

Obviously, it has all changed now. When I start the campaign, I don’t see an intro 😭

I've watched your campaigns a lot. I think you should play on hard or vh, cuz you stomp the AI too easily. Like by the 260 BC you own half of the map xD

The problem is dei is balanced for normal not hard or vh. Often campaigns can be ruined by the ai. It's a difficult conundrum.
