[@selder_7]

True, but it’s the nature of total war that the best part is the start up until when you become so powerful that you’ll never not win and all that’s left is slowly but surely conquering everything. That’s all the rest of this series could be

[@ManyATrueNerd]

There comes a point in every Rome campaign where you become an unstoppable juggernaut - either through armies, or money, or both. The Grand Pirate Empire of Dacia & New Italy has now reached that point.

[@LonelyMinnesotan1]

@@ManyATrueNerd fair enough. That really is most strategy games, iant it? Build up until you cant lose then grind down everyone around you until you win.

Watching Jon struggle to create an empire out of a meme country with extreme restrictions was compelling. Watching Jon at full strength roflstomp the entire classical world with no handicaps would still be very compelling viewing. I'll watch every new Rome Remastered series from here to eternity.

"We've retaken the homeland. Unfortunately we are going to need to exterminate it. Because you know what, it's been in Scythian hands for a while - anybody here could be a Scythian spy. So I'm sorry lads, you're going down." One of my favorite lines from any of your series!

[@RevanFan]

One question: Did Jon forget about the magic horn of "nobody break, general fall back so you don't get stabbed"? He never used it once this series, to my knowledge.

That may explain why he keeps getting generals killed

It feels like we just got the first ep, and here we are one the finally.

[@starlightbreaker561]

I always hate it when the AI overwhelmingly targets the player rather then pursuing actual goals that would end up making them a fun threat late game. The worst incident was when I was playing EU4 and an Allie invited me to a defensive war, they didn't actually need help and there were several countries between me and the fighting area, so I thought why not? The AI enemy somehow managed to arrange a jagged military access treaty through 6 empires and kept on running into my massively larger armies while their own home was razed to the ground by an enemy they could have actually challenged. It gets tiring and destroys any immersion.

[@Sondariut]

Eu4 ai will strongly target whichever opponent they view as weaker. Not actually player related.

The Thracian peltasts fell before Cadia... I mean, before the wall did. This was a fun ride; I usually avoided most mercs, but now I have remastered, I might pay more attention to function than whether or not they're the cream of the crop.

Thank you Jon

[@carlhoellein6672]

Loved the attempt at 1:00:30 to completely gloss over the sally where apparently everything went great except the sarmations went from 108 to 8 remaining and all of the ranged units seemed to have lost about half their men. But I see you, Jon. My pause button makes me more perceptive than you can imagine [imagine that with the Obi-wan voice]

[@legostarwarsfan1662]

Especially since Jon's perception, real or imaginable, has a permanent, unfixable, and irreversible -1.

[@usbgus]

The long tradition of Jon paying huge amounts of money for allies and then the allies using that money to buy a huge army and attack Jon continues.

[@RobBCactive]

Phalanxes are easy to beat, just make sure you have 2 units, one light with range to maneuver around as the front gives ground. Similarly have units to exploit breaks in lines as terrain slows part, allows 3 on 1 flank attacks with the front disengaged until they're turning

[@hughfergusson9544]

Again please!

[@TheNamesDitto]

Jon I would be interested in any and all types of Rome Remastered runs like this. Please do more. Maybe you can do a warlike run as Sparta? Declare war on everyone and only raze cities to the ground

[@Roscoso]

I do hope you give Barbarian Invasion Remastered a go. Play as Romano-British

[@the_tactician9858]

IMHO their unit roster is rather meagre, apart from the Graal Knights. But I did enjoy their start. Once Britain is controlled, it becomes a Britons game without chariots.

Just finishing a run of Rome as the Brutii on Very Hard.. For some reason very few people except Thrace and Brittania have been attacking me. Dacia just stopped attacking, Gaul and Spain focused the Julii, Egypt and the Scipio didn't fight but had a staring contest over their border... Was a weird game.

Turns out the Mass Effect remaster was made by people who never saw a PC up close. Hardly any video options, horrendous mouse controls, no fov options, the promised ultrawide support is a joke.... Surprised they didn't go all out and added a 30fps limit to the stack of doom. At least they have the classic unturnoffable mouse acceleration... I bet the controller controls work fine. Gonna sit that one out. In buying and watchng. Played and seen it too often anyway. Unless Jon does a play-blindfolded challenge or something.
