Tunisian man plays as CARTHAGE in Imperator: Rome

That's right, I'm still REFUSING TO LET IMPERATOR ROME DIE, as today we play as CARTHAGE. This time, I know what I'm doing, and I'm not about to play through the Punic Wars or lose to Rome. There will be no Roman Empire today as we ask ourselves, "What if Carthage won the Punic War?". We first need to consolidate our nation before turning our gaze north to the Italian Eagle.

As the Invictus representative, we're very glad to see you've been enjoying the mod and the game in general (additionally big thanks for giving credit to the mod). We put in a lot of effort in order to have this hidden gem of a game reach its potential. All of us have greatly enjoyed watching you play and learn more of the game's mechanics over time. All I can say is thanks and enjoy the game and mod.

Honestly PDX should just hire the Invictus Team and make you guys into a studio to continue to develop I:R xd

[@AkodoAkira1]

What's a good resource for Invictus information? I'm using the mod myself, but I'd like a place to discuss strats and the like.

You should play Syracuse next. They were also pretty important in the ancient world, competing at times with Athens and Sparta for the spot of greatest greek polis, but have been mostly forgotten.

[@empireproductions1321]

Syracuse was 100% the best greek city, please play syracuse

[@dai-belizariusz3087]

Athens with Magna Grecia DLC is also very unique playthrough with great fleet focus and cool sprites

[@Marcoz588]

The most fun one can have with a friend is for one to play Agathokles as Syracuse, and the other friend to play Pyrrhus as Epirus. Ally together and go crazy in Southern Italy and Greece. Their mission trees also synergise well, it’s a hell of a lot of fun! 🔥👌

[@crazyzealots3843]

I really love and appreciate your dedication to Imperator, it's great to see youtubers covering it again with Invictus. Kush is personally one of my favorite tags in the game and they have a unique mission tree with some cool mechanics and rewards; you should check them out.

This is a noble endeavor good sir. May Imperator never die and receive a major overhaul to make a mighty Paradox Legend.

I played those Massaesylia guys next to you one time. I turned them into a migratory tribe and moved to the Rhine river. I like them because they can do naval slave raids iirc even though those raids suck. It was pretty dumb.

Currently playing Imperator Rome while watching this video YOU made me play it :)

[@KurdishTigers]

ah yes, finally some REAL content

[@Alykar98]

Nice content, as always. Firstly - holdings is not position in government or governorship. Its singular province, that can be given. You can do that through clicking on province or through character interaction "Grant holding" Also you can sort out your trade in trade window in the left, you can enable autotrade for exports (you will auto agree) and in nation overview you can enable automatic imports for provinces, if you want. (amphora icon) As always great video, i really want more Imperator Rome here, its such a shame this game was left after what pdx did to improve it. It REALLY has potential.

Ive been binging all your imperator videos lately cause Ive been getting back into this game so its great to see another one! You gotta try playing syracuse sometime its a really fun play through

[@hristinalazarova6871]

the levies map mode is extreemly useful try it out for part 2,it shows you what regions have their levies raised and you can click on a province in the region and all of the regions levies are raised on that province.also i would suggest putting on conversion and assimilation edicts,if everyone is your religion they are loyal(this is the reason everyone is rebelling, they are wrong religion you have to convert its a core mechanic) and if they are your culture you can raise more levies,example:is if you just conqured a region with 200 pops in it and they are all wrong culture you can raise 2k levies but if you assimilate them or intigrate their culture you can raise 20k levies in that region.

[@aut32]

Thank you for reminding me of this game - it was unironically one of my favorite Paradox games despite it being dead

[@HaydenMussi]

Laith to the Imperator player base: "Double it, and give it to the next person."

[@koneser8197]

Good damn I'll be honest I check your channel once in a while but damn some videos like this one are so good. You earned a sub And if you look for some other Carthage-like experience I can suggest you one hoi 4 mod to try, tad a bit wierd...it's Equestria at War, a total conversion mod set in the world of talking horses that every young girl and too many old dudes liked to watch, set in the perioid of industralization and mixing magic with technology, imagine Anbennar but with horses and griffs. Overall the mod is one of the most developed mods on hoi 4 workshop, with over 100+ unique focus trees and original soundtrack. As for the country I wanted to suggest is Colthage (there's a lot of horse puns), which is in general mix of Ancient Carthage and Civil War Mexico, with a great number of paths to choose from. If you have guts and enough willpower to survive the cringe then it might be a real treat for you.
