Rome Total War - Rebel #1 - United Anarchy

I begin the most ambitious of Rome Total War campaigns... The marvellously bonkers Rebel Campaign. Will anarchy reign as history is rewritten? Or will the rebels soon be wiped off the map? Join me in this most unusual exploration of old total war game mechanics. Oh it's good to be back playing Rome Total War.

I'm loving the Medieval II and Barbarian invasion seires but I'm excited to catch up with this one. Nothing beats the classic that is Rome Total War.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Oh indeed! Hence the epilogue series for this campaign. Can't stop loving Rome Total War!

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH I think we always need the joy of a little RTW on the channel :D

[@hannahneal1601]

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH I guess there's 2 or 3 epilogues left at best... 😢

[@julianusofcrete3729]

I expect my humble peoples can support your cause! You can always count on us Cretans!

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Oh the Cretan Archers are surely set to be the real heroes of this campaign...

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

In retrospect it is clear that our great leader Akas shall never travel without your band of great Cretans dear Julianus!

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

For a first youtube video, I'm not hideously embarrassed by this. 🤣 Though I think it's fair to say I've improved at making them since!

[@youseffsalib4459]

Most channels have a far more dodgy opening video. The quality stands up, I think you have simply gotten tidier with your commentary and edits.

[@richardtaylor215]

Tidy opening turn... I'm excited to see where this challenge takes you!

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

If you lose that opening at Damascus I imagine this campaign would be horrendously tough. Always keep on the front foot as the rebels!

[@richardtaylor215]

One of two untis with experience in the east are invaluable. Don't let them die at any cost! @@ToNerdistoHumanTNH

[@PatriciaRocha-kr7ut]

The best rebel campaign. Congrats on this great job.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Why thank you Patricia! Not much competition for that accolade but i'll certainly take it. :D

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

A few rebel campaigns by other youtubers later and I think it's fair to say this campaign is still the best! ;)

[@iainhansen1047]

Glad I found this series! So few good Rome total war rebel campaigns!

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Yes indeed! I had been looking around for some and there wasn't a lot out there, so I thought I would just make my own :P Gald you like it. Also, you are officially my first commentor on the channel! Thank you, sir!

[@iainhansen1047]

To Nerd is to Human TNH my greatest achievement! Seriously though it is great to see a new rebels campaign, thanks a lot! The only decent one I could find was one done by bradenlord but he never finished it since he did it on stream.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

@@iainhansen1047 I'm sure I have watched that some time ago, but I don't remember how it ended; perhaps it is simply that it was only the first few hours. Anyway, It's great to get some feedback... and fear not, I plan to complete this!

[@noraandersson7822]

Ooooh. The rebels are my favourite campaign, this should be fun.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Absolutely!! You've got 30+ episodes to catch up on.

[@raized943]

Just found your channel, this video was awesome. Imagine world conquer with a bunch of peasants, oh what a dream.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Thank you! Oh the peasant campaign is a whole other thing entirely... but the rebel anarchy is certainly the dream here.

[@raized943]

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH Do you ever plan on 'expanding' to other total war games? Your narration is quite nice.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

@@raized943 Thank you! I plan to finish up with my current barbarian invasion and medieval 2 campaigns. After that I may well move onto another one but I'm not 100% decided in which just yet.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome mind you!

[@raized943]

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH Empire Total War with Darthmod and Causa Belli is one of the best I've ever played, to be honest. Especially when playing a minor nation.

[@Blooticus]

You have an incredible ability when it comes to entertaining let's plays. Please keep it up!

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Thank you ever so much! This was my first youtube video so i'm glad it's not too hideous in retrospect!

[@KWyzel]

I know this is odd to say, but this is one of the reasons I love the older Total Wars. You cant do this sort of thing in the newer Total Wars, the closest thing that comes to mind is the Pirates in Empire. However! I also love the variety of nations available in newer Total Wars I enjoyed giving the Etruscans a go in Rome 2. Also you deserve more subs, love your channel.

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Thank you comrade!! I love all the little factions in the later games but I do feel sad that the old rebels aren't around. Though the yellow turban rebellion in the mandate of heaven looks like it has a lot of retro style rebel mechanics with the fervour.

[@KWyzel]

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH You should give the Etruscans a try or even a playthrough on Rome 2 with a few Unit Expansion mods. They're quite challenging, starting off at war with Rome and all.

[@markopaabel6446]

Just started the series, united anarchy!

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

Welcome to the Anarchy!!

[@IvicaArmanas]

*Any plans to make Slaves playable (Spartacus, Krixus,...)? March on Rome would be so sweet...*

[@ToNerdistoHumanTNH]

That could be fun! Perhaps a few of history's great revolts could be represented.

[@IvicaArmanas]

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH *Specialy because Spartacus and his crew (veteran gladiators) were closer to bring Rome down then any other faction in the game except Carthage or Gauls in early days...*

[@Sksk27547]

Why have or need a faction capital as rebels and slaves?

[@Sksk27547]

Why cant you build watch towers and hire mercenaries?
