THE WAR FOR THE NORTH! Total War: Rome II - Rise of the Republic - Rome Campaign #9

[@bdegeorge8634]

I can just imagine Spurius and his wife sitting down in their Villa and Lionheart keeps coming up every afternoon and poking his head in the window asking, "Hey, did you two have kids yet? We need them for Rome."

''Cursus honorum: the Ladder of Politics'' - Chapter 3 First of all, I am very sorry for the late post and I can, unfortunately, not afford it to elaborate very long. I am in a bit of a hurry due to college starting up. Wright not, however, for I will be back next episode with the topic of consules! So, today, a brief story about the office of Aedile. Aediles are, very basically, the money-spenders of the Republic. Now, you might think: ''Dear Bas, didn't you say Quaestores spent all the money of the Roman Republic?'' Well, yes, I did say so. I am not right -- of course, heh. Whereas Quaestores spent public money, Aediles spent private money. Basically, they bankrupted themselves by organising and hosting lavish public games, supplying the Roman grain-doles and supporting public events. The aedileship was not a step a politician needed to take in his career. It was, however, the step that made you popular. Hugely so, if we look to one of Rome's most favourite and most influential politicians -- none other than Gaius Iulius Caesar. Caesar bankrupted himself quite badly by hosting the biggest Ludi, ''Games'', Rome had ever seen until that time. Caesar was only able to maintain his position on account of his political backers (most notably Pompeius, or Pompey, the Great and Licinius Crassus). Caesar, now bankrupt, could rely on the biggest backer of all from henceforth: the Roman mob. Conclusively: being an Aedile was about spending, spending and spending, whilst making yourself popular. Senators often disliked you, but hey; ain't that just politics? Til next time!

I hear chaos is also a ladder.

I hope you see this Lionheart! I just recently broke up with my girlfriend and I'm feeling down. In just wanted to tell you that your videos are making me happier. I've probably been a subscriber of yours since 2012.

[@lionheartx10]

Glad the videos cheer you up dude! :)

[@mexieboy1]

Maybe its worthwhile to look into, there is a tech in the millitary tech line that gives you 3500 GOLD PER TURN😱

[@leedanielbrown5714]

Loving the series it’s literally my favourite on KZbin right now , I would love if every episode was an hour special

[@notyou6942]

I loved your Roman campaign from 4 years ago

[@jacobhacking285]

I find for the spy taking menace is good, especially against smaller factions because you can starve out their armies by stealing their food allowing you to walk through otherwise annoying single province factions

[@certifiedcoolguy583]

hello there lionheart: *GENERAL CLIFFJUMPER*

[@laitilulu]

Doing ban van de vens job today, nothing you can do about it. The cursus honorum: Aediles Last time he covered the the praetorship who ran the roman judical systems and sometimes even lead armies. Today we're taking on aediles which actually was lower then the term of praetor, but what made it special was that it was an optinal step for amtious politicans. It was also mostly taken by ambitous reformers and populists. Some parts of the job of aediles were the upkeep of temples (Even though aediles can literally be translated to: "temple builder") . The upkeep of temples were more importantant then you maybe think, as the literall gold supply of Rome was stored in the temple of Saturn and the senate house was also a temple. They were also responsible for the public baths which were a GIANT part of Roman social life, as most Romans went there usless they were really poor, they would even incloud; Boar games, dice games, restoraunts, shopping centers and more. You might now understand why this was such a popular term for populists, as most of the job would be with the normal citizens. They were also responsible for the aqueducts, grain import to Rome. Now, one of the most important parts of the aediles, running the festivals. Aediles would plan up the festivals/holidays of the Roman Republic. It would later on become more common for aediles to also use their personal whealth to have enough for more wild festivals. This could make you really popular with the masses which was a dream-come-true for any populist. As the other terms, this one would be for a whole year. Their would be elected 4 each year, but you had to be atleast 35 to run for it. Well i am done here! See you next time when Ban will cover the: "Consuls"! See you next time! Suck it Ban >:)

[@WarlordX7]

02:30 love the way you say "gifted husband" are you trying to say he's got a big one?

[@Guilhermejow]

Yup

[@Guilhermejow]

Biggus Dickus

[@colinvandervoort8047]

Maybe time for a fleet?

[@AlphaScorch]

I think reinforcing your allies would be a wise option. That way you're still moving forward and making progress instead of just sitting there waiting to see if they can actually take their territory back. I also think that you should do all elite units in your southern army and keep him at your border in case the southerners get rowdy. Though I'd like to recommend going with a couple more swords, two cav units total, and then spam those javelins. They do have less ammunition and range, but in an elite army that should last a long while, their armor piercing will be helpful against other factions with higher tiered troops with more armor. Just a few thoughts. Never given them before but felt like why not. Love your videos man, keep it up.

[@josephinerandhawa]

On fleek my man . My fac series out of all ur other episodes

[@Davidos03]

[@dillonhonore3579]

*FOR THE GLORY, OF ROME!*

[@rinmathews9337]

Yeah Boii!

[@carnifexgobrr]

Always loved this content, I know you have a few series going but wish this was a daily upload! 😢 Keep it going mate, much love from a Northerner

[@BenjinWS]

Sorry about the desync between the General and Politician appearances for Important Characters - it's one of the things I'll be fixing in the coming update. By the way, I noticed that the your mod collection link in your video's descriptions only links to the "Rome: Total War Music" mod?

[@laitilulu]

probably just forgot it

[@bramvaessen1576]

Doesn’t he only have the mod Rome 1 music? And nothing else? Can’t quite remember he said anything about it in the first video

[@BenjinWS]

No, he's also using my AAA Generals: Rise of the Republic mod - it's how the generals change appearance based on their rank + age.

[@bramvaessen1576]

Oh forgot about that one!

[@warbi4449]

Long live the mighty Boii!

[@The_Centurion_YT]

Make an alliance with the Viesul if you haven't already. They are +99 with you, and I think they are allied with your allies. :)

[@paytonmain5862]

I'd recommend killing off the family head as well because in my playthrough Camillus actually ended up becoming the head of a rival political party which started to cause problems later in the game

[@leedanielbrown5714]

I feel like the south would be a much better option because it would be easier to hold than the north

[@stragiculous9849]

No change in "Food Surplus", neither at 200, nor 250, thus not likely any higher rates at all. ;)

[@noahriley9717]

Keep that eastern city Lionheart. No reason to let it go to hell. Could be very cool to see you worrying about an entirely new portion of the map. You could handle it. Don’t worry.

[@matthewpaddon3895]

Yea the Boiis!

[@joshlangston4605]

I still think some client states are needed the low cost levy troops easy on your income and you could either use the "foreign legion " to be defensive or aggressive force the bonuses form client states are numerous plus all the role playing elements

[@johnlandon8741]

get some of that good old roman cav.

[@whitelightning9460]

NIce Gollum voice!

[@Jnb21]

Dude you had it made with that hill. Shoulda posted your ranged and horse on top and created a circle just a bit lower with infantry either in shield wall or just charge downhill. Just my 2 cents great video though

[@craigunger1546]

Hey brother i think you should swap strong units with your main army and then bring lucious back and upgrade the traded units because the south hasnt riled up yet but your about to war with all the barb factions

[@wilkescude5682]

I had 3000 food in one campaign, and lost it all somehow in less than 5 turns

[@skvalparn]

MAKE THIS DAYLY UPLOAD

[@SkyGuy4991]

Why are you still recruiting slingers when javelin throwers would be much more effective?

[@brynndavis1818]

range

[@zeppelinled3967]

range + more damage in the long run, while javelin thrower can decimate 1 unite,it becomes useless, basically without amunition it's a mob unite soo

[@st1ckman456]

Near the end of the video, you were given a settlement. I think you could've held on to it very easily, because the faction that gave it to you was protecting the only border in and out. It appeared that settlement was protected by mountains and sea on all other sides.

[@AlucardDracula1000]

He also had no quick way to fix the public order and protect it from the rebellion, that's why he gave up on it

[@erez87xp]

Raze? I always pillage, money is good.

[@thispleasesthen.u.t.8334]

Money is not the reason he razes

[@jokerpersona01]

Lion heart like this please

[@brennanglascock9123]

Pls make yourself strong In the sea

[@kaptainKononeil]

How do you check units stats.

[@nationwide1371]

MORE!!!

[@zeppelinled3967]

hmm.. guys i need help.. was playing egypt in campaign where rome is divided into 4 parts(dont remember the name of DLC sorry), i had 10 armies and 8 armies had 21 unites out of 20.. do you know why? :D

[@laitilulu]

Empire Divided or Imperator Augustus?

[@zeppelinled3967]

the one with cinematic where dude is getting lectured by his mother about how people loved caesar and how he wanted this dude to be his heir

[@BigWinna18]

zeppelin led sounds like imperator

[@spinspir1741]

Set an ambush with Camillus out of Ariminum and have Spurius follow him. The Umbri can manage to reclaim their territory, so no need to worry about them. Last, you should probably make an effort to hold over Tergeste and recruit a General over there, better yet an Admiral.

[@cadehall6491]

Could someone tell me the songs in background please? Link me something please

[@darthjarjar1557]

It's the original Rome Total War soundtrack

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

Seems like kind of an arrogant thing for us to give the Romans English accents, instead of their more accurate - fruity-sounding - Latin ones.

[@prussianmenace]

It's Etruscan league, not Etrushcan league.

[@laitilulu]

E-trash-an league lol

[@forrestkey9132]

A Trash Can league

[@kaypeters8828]

Would be nice if u had a FPS counter

[@lionheartx10]

Game is running well in excess of 60fps at 1440p 99% of the time. OBS for some reason doesnt seem to want to show the fps counter from shadowplay so don't have a way to show one in this game.

[@mrentrep]

not you. you need to make some babies. (lol)

[@felixbriseno2144]

Hour special plz
