Ultimate 15K Man Siege of Londinium

[@roccocardinale6786]

All these scenes showing just the unfortunate individual soldiers are really gripping. Just seeing a Roman soldier trying to get up with an arrow lodged in his chest or a barbarian trying to crawl out of the fire. Really makes it that much better man. Really awesome stuff. Keep up the good work and I hope to see some more great content!

*"Most Generals stand idly and watch at the back, look at the battlefield from a far, but today men! We will not stand and watch, we will not let men die for a general they cannot see! Charge!!"* - Battle of Londinium

[@alceushunterx]

+Vincent Rogers there's a reason why some generals do that. Some are effective as commanders but really shitty as fighters. If the main commander goes down fighting, it will do some seriously morale damage. But some are fighters/warriors. Meant to go into the fight. They can lead their armies to victory while fighting but not while their life is in danger. So the general fighter must have co captains who follow the plan. etc etc, a general fighter fighting in the front lines can SERIOUSLY boost up the morale, but if he dies, that's it morale at 1%. But I love the speech, something a spartan leader would say to mock the persian armies.

[@vrrdragon]

alceushunterx just made it up to make it epic ;3 cuz it felt like the general did that when he charged

[@alceushunterx]

***** le interesting

[@alceushunterx]

***** was it fun? lol. I like learning about war mostly the ancient side or medieval sid of it

[@alceushunterx]

***** yea sure!

[@TheShakey99]

This is how this game is supposed to be played. And this is how it's supposed to be recorded and shown to people. God damn. Epic.

[@samthestoner479]

The music was perfectly timed, each skirmish was shown in full dramatic sequence, and the defenders won for once! 10/10 would watch again

[@louischamayou5386]

Really good movie !!! really good music !!! all is good !!! It's just the best machinima on KZbin.

[@batesBeckham]

+chamayou louis thanks man, check out the 18k siege too if you liked this one.

[@NicNac1707]

+bates Beckham what is this music ? i like it

[@anaga6049]

Very rarely do I enjoy watching other people play games. Keep up the good work.

[@jerryle4042]

And so the Romans fought valiantly against all odds. For they they knew what they were fighting for: their homes, their families, and their honor. Word of their brave sacrifice at Londinium will spread like a wildfire. Touching every true Romans heart.....

[@slothfromthegoonies8201]

jerry Le Word of this brave defiance will reach all corners of the Empire. The moral of our people will be lifted, perhaps all is not lost!

[@affiqzulkifli8956]

Sloth from The Goonies And all those who speak of defiance will bow down agai to the emperor when rome's legions crush these rebels and return victorious.

[@iannartea6394]

Rome forever!

[@urubutingaz5898]

It's a shame that the roman troops just fucked off and then saxon took over...

[@amishshogun2709]

Hey, So I been having a craving for watching Machinmas. By far I have found yours the best. Thank you for taking the time to produce this! I look forward to your work in Warhammer! Keep on recording :D!

[@4382520479025261]

Nice video man. I always found it more interesting to watch battles like this. I always like how two armies would just run in towards each other. Imagine the adrenaline you had running and screaming towards your enemy with thousands of others surrounding you doing the same. Must have been thrilling and frighting at the same time.

[@batesBeckham]

thanks man...I did a much larger battle and uploaded it. 18k man siege of edessa. check it out :)

[@turbotim129]

Mate i could watch these all day, amazing video. I liked how you labelled each unit so people who don't play it could understand what was happening at which part of the city, and who was who. Epic video mate, keep em coming, maybe add story lines to them explaining for example, why the battle took place etc, could be fictional could be based off historical events, either way i don't think it matters too much, but giving it a small story line would really give the audience an even better idea. just throwing ideas around. If you made more videos just like this i'd be very happy, it must take ages producing em. Keep up the good work man. Peace

[@batesBeckham]

thanks man...17k siege has an explanation and my 18k siege is my best one check em out :)

[@fatboyjoe9668]

This was better than most films of this genre

[@jonblankenship8363]

i've seen two of your video's now and i must say well done on the putting together the replays. i fell as if i was watching a movie sometimes. the only thing that have a slight complaint with, and i dont even know if id call it a complaint, but it would be awesome just to get a bird's eye view in the sky over most of the battlefield just to see what each army has and what it has to fight up against.

[@batesBeckham]

Steven KaCey, I am unable to reply to your comment directly, so i hope you see this, I will check out some historical battles and see what I can come up with. I built my pc, its an i7 4790k overclocked to 4.7ghz with an h100i corsair closed loop cpu cooler, an ASUS ROG mobo, with an ASUS ROG GTX 980 Matrix Platinum, 16gb of corsair vengeance ram at 2400mhz, 2 samsung evo SSD drives, ASUS Rog overclocking front panel, and some corsair fans of different sizes through out my case which is a corsair something i cant remember its one of their micro atx cases. the 3 something. oh and corsair 1,000 watt PSU. I thought about a commentary but, i dont know what I would really say. lol I might just stay behind the scenes for now, unless I do a historical battle, then I will do alot of research on it and list facts throughout it.

[@ArcticForged]

bates Beckham About how much did that pc cost?

[@vrrdragon]

bates Beckham could you like list the statistics after? like how many deployed, how many killed? like you know at the end of every Rome 2 Battle, it posts the statistics?

[@TheDarkProdigy]

bates Beckham Dude thanks for listing your specs, now i got a new goal.

[@17Scumdog]

bates Beckham great job on these rome 2 vids bates! you have a knack for capturing especially epic scenes in the battles. keep up the great work!

[@liampark821]

you should show what the whole battle field looks like before it begins , so us noobs know what is happening and where thanks 😀

[@jeffadams8957]

Had to subscribe at 5:10 just a great scene, music, and camera angle. Well done!

[@Ibrahana.]

Enjoying this? Toss it a like please, i never knew there was a section in the city called that!

[@randymasser6165]

Dude these battles are so epic please keep making more

[@mcpuente7923]

Good work with the cinematic, i almost believed to have been seen a movie in a cinema

[@Mordred1337]

epic. theres no other word to describe it. 11/10 ! love your videos

[@hyo3884]

Gotta say my favorite thing about this video is the music.

[@139gohan]

Very good video man; so good to see how much work u did for presenting this

[@isaacmikola1338]

Oh my gosh, 14:58 and the music. Very epic, much enjoyed

[@Daftpanzer]

EPIC!!! I'm sure you've heard this alot, but I'm really loving what you've done with these battles. Its like watching a film, only better :)

[@GeneralSantucci1st]

Very well done ! That was a lot to capture and you did more than capture , you told people what part of the wall they were looking at . 👍🏻👍🏻 up

[@batesBeckham]

Thanks man, Hope all is well over on your channel, I am a fan.

[@wildman473]

Love watching your videos their so epic, like watching a movie. Keep them coming!

[@mitchelllescallett7818]

dude you videos are awesome, watching this makes me want a PC

[@JustMyOpinion-]

absolutely love the shimmer of the Armour and helmets

[@pooyajafari100]

I could not imagine how much this game could be exciting. But with this video manipulation, i really enjoy watching it. Im sure you like it more when you watch the video after game as I do.

[@danieldavalos2054]

hey, the final its legendary ,very good video

[@FrankyFes]

hehe you are about to make me buy this thing, with your awesome videos. i am very reluctant after the fiasco with Rome 2

[@batesBeckham]

FrankyFes Rome 2 was a mess, A HOT MESS!!! lol it took over a year before they straighten that out. Attila in my opinion is what Rome 2 should have been. Whatever kinks they had at the start of Rome 2, they learned from their mistake. My first battle was with 10k troops and that was without a single patch. Something I couldnt do in Rome 2 for 8 months. Its more demanding then Rome 2, because graphically its beautiful, if you got the hardware, it will run. i JUST finished a 17k man battle. I will be uploading it after i do all the editing stuff. Probably take me a couple weeks to turn it from a replay into something like the above movie. But its comming!!

[@sethhogberg3620]

I love these videos so much, excellent music choice, good view of the whole battle. I know how hard these things are (Total war games are among my favorite) So I love the fact that we can view these. I would like to ask if you are going to do some total war Warhammer videos?

[@pokerkid8338]

Nice videos. I'm sure you can't wait until total war warhammer comes out

[@TheGoldennach]

Epic beyond words, man!

[@hellenictech]

Amazing work man!

[@MrJacobpetersen]

Will you do us the honor and make 15k+ soldier battles, when Warhammer total war comes out? Great videos btw! Maybe take some eastern factions and use elefants.

[@batesBeckham]

+Jacob Petersen oh i plan to!

[@thomasalvarez6456]

+Jacob Petersen sounds amazing!

[@LiamRedmondVideo]

Really good video. Only tip I have is that even though I like the camera angles a lot it gets a bit annoying when the camera keeps shaking all the time within those shots. If you did less of that it would be a lot better. That was the only real gripe I had though so keep up the good work.

[@batesBeckham]

+Liam Redmond yea man I had a broken mouse...that doesnt get fixed until the 18k siege of edessa. In that one...Mouse scrolling is fixed.

[@Zoccs]

After looking at all of these cinematic sieges I have learned something, never let Bates take control of your archer units...

[@mrxxxNBKxxx]

Enjoyed it a lot, keep it up !

[@Halal.Snack.Pack0]

That was epic man! Great work, the music fit so perfectly. Just 1 thing, is there a way to smooth out the panning? Maybe reduce mouse sensitivity just for the replays? Or would that be too slow? Other than that, it was solid, loved that ending too! Ah, nevermind. Just saw a descriprion on your massive battle vid haha.

[@batesBeckham]

PhappingCamel LOL yea. i am looking at changing that though. I realize i may have to make my movies on a smaller screen. Because after awhile it does bother me that the scrolling isnt smooth. im having a change of heart.

[@xXraider007Xx]

This was f*cking epic and my computer would die then come back to life and die again from trying to run the game at the levels you are using.

[@batesBeckham]

xXraider007Xx LOL

[@HieroIIofSyracuse]

These are Great, good work

[@brentreimer6411]

You should definitely do something like this when TW: Warhammer comes out!

[@НемањаСимић-р8о]

Great job man!

[@ryoutaren5510]

Awesome vid *even thou heads flying around XD* anyways 1 new sub for you . Keep it up.

[@JowenbraMC]

Hey man love these videos. I have a suggestion, you should look into lowering your mouse sensitivity for some of the shots to make it more smooth and less jerky, would be more cinematic. Either way great videos and keep it up man!

[@JowenbraMC]

Jowenbra The endings are also a but abrupt. Not bashing just some constructive criticism :)

[@batesBeckham]

Jowenbra hey man thanks for the tips. I am currently trying out a new mouse, so over the next couple videos i should hopefully get less jerky. ( i was using a roller ball mouse, thats why its so jerky) Also the second you win or lose, the battle is over. If you win you can click keep fighting and run the defeated army off the field. But if you lose. It abruptly just ends. :( so im working on some solutions. I appreciate the time you took to give me your constructive criticism and I will be attempting to fix them and if I win again, i will try to add more of an ending. Thanks again.

[@JowenbraMC]

bates Beckham Alright man, haven't played the game so I didn't know. Maybe a fade out would be better? Keep it up man!

[@yasaskaushal8114]

epic gameplay bro

[@gailspencer4451]

Loved it and found it realistic and exciting but couldn't figure which siege it was....the Danish invaded London many times, which is why The Tower of London was built. Boudicca successfully burned London to the ground, but was unaware of a siege of Londinium defended by the Romans. Great work though and fantastic soundtrack.

[@pranavrao11]

This is soo well done.

[@emelianemelianov8982]

Just 1 more masterpiece :-)

[@hubertaubriot94]

Nice video I like it :D

[@stevenkaceykacey1]

Awesome video. Would love to see you recreate historical battles. A commentary would also be nice. Great shots capturing the action. What in the world is your pc made out of? Could u give specs, I need one =)

[@Condobius]

Is the Slow Motion a mod, done in editing, or a real feature? These battles are really cool man, keep up the good work!

[@batesBeckham]

+Connor Keeley In the replays of these battles you can fast forward play at normal speed, or do slow motion. So from time to time, I go into slow motion to make it like a movie.

[@chrisedrev9519]

Awesome video! Do you use any overhaul mods or battle mods?

[@LiamRedmondVideo]

Please tell me you got the idea for subtitling the different areas of battle from Alexander coz I really liked that when I saw it first.

[@batesBeckham]

+Liam Redmond I did actually! I am finishing up a new siege by the way, it will be uploaded within 48hrs.

[@McDylan1990]

I honestly couldn't tell who was who, and what was happening, and who won?

[@ktulu911_6]

Awesome. Are there any beach type invasions?

[@batesBeckham]

+Ronnel Farol kinda, if i had an actual enemy player over an AI opponent i could make a beach invasion similar to the movie troy

[@marianotirelli4937]

+bates Beckham maybe you can ask some suscriptors to help you?

[@aryan2687]

Really great vids, though I think more wide/birds eye view shots would be good once the battle started. Was a bit disoriented because everything was zoomed in point of view. Keep up the awesome work though.

[@Andy-go7dk]

The madness of mankind at it’s finest

[@wchu5518]

The veteran Roman troops seem to be doing very well. :)

[@ronniewong8719]

Would you tell which side was which !

[@justincellar8013]

Plz help I'm a ps4 gamer and normally play bf4 and the division. I have heard those games are better on ps4 but I would also like to play games like this and arma what type of pc and monitor would be best for games like those?

[@TheHawk3r]

You really know how to get someonse blood pumping man :))

[@toastermanstrikesback9339]

Haven't. finished. the vid but by god its really. good

[@sarenareth689]

Too bad you can rarely have such battles in campaign. When you storm at an enemy city with 2 armies or more, they either all run away from the city meaning you'll have a boring easy fight, or they attack you straight away meaning the battle will take place on an open field.

[@strategikgamer5971]

Excellent!!

[@anthonysunseri1996]

7:09 Unexpected, but awesome!

[@ketilflatnose4930]

Why are the Eastern Romans doing in London? Cool video.

[@batesBeckham]

Ketil Flatnose just doing random custom battles at the time. No real reason for anyone to be anywhere. Just like the Romans and wanted to try out that map.

[@Sagerb0mb]

lmao this video is awesome. funny stuff.

[@jadonpugatch9351]

Hey, do you mind telling me the music you used in the video?!? I loved it.

[@RcKTvBsnooks]

Sapientian I don't see it in the description.

[@RcKTvBsnooks]

OK thanks! I appreciate it.

[@tabergg]

That stupid, stupid general. What was he thinking? ... I probably would have done the same thing.

[@ordohereticus478]

6:17 "Ah, shiiiiiiiit...." *SPLATS!!!*

[@mrtonybelo1]

Love the video and your work. What was the name of music used in this video?

[@hsgsyshegsusush4704]

Idk who the bad guys and the good guys are I'm just having fun seeing them getting be headed

[@cannibalcheese]

amazing talent man

[@batesBeckham]

thanks man, I have quite a few of these check out some of the larger battles, my biggest is 19k

[@cannibalcheese]

I watched that earlier whilst in the bath Lol keep it up man ☺

[@batesBeckham]

+cannibalcheese haha you rock!

[@FilipMoncrief]

Man...Attila is awesome

[@TheJoystickJunky]

Well done sir.

[@daveotuwa5596]

Who won the siege? The Romans or the Huns?

[@morecopemorerope4372]

Dave Otuwa the romans.

[@karelleet]

Can you make a list of all the songs you used? I love the music!

[@maxdartnall8146]

This vid is awesome, you should have 344,000 subs not 344, well you have 345 no anyway!!!

[@mr.manlyheartguy6792]

how'd you get people do walk around the city at the very beginning? is that a mod or did i just overlook the feature in the base game

[@batesBeckham]

Mr.Manly Heart Guy its in the base game, you just overlooked them :)

[@DanDol321]

Did you use any mods in the making of this? If so what were they?! 😄😄

[@dukedunac]

Dan Dolly He uses a few unit packs but I don't think mods.

[@timpyrules]

Am I the only one who get'sannoyed by the incredibly ease heads get severed in the Gore DLC

[@batesBeckham]

I think some of the animations are a little over the top too. I liked the more realistic ones.

[@ohyeahyeahohyeahyeah6771]

Same,there should be more of a strian in the model.

[@thedrunkus9792]

anyone know the name of the first and third song, btw bloody epic video man.

[@KaiReel23]

I like your videos. Maybe you could try to move the camera a little less, finding a perfect spot. Because camera in total war does not move smoothly. Or you can "follow a squad" or "take control over unit", i dont know how this option is called, when a camera follows a squad. I believe this will improve your videos. Good luck with your channel.

[@elbarbarooknov6641]

a question What this game you made with your pc? and if so could you tell me pc has, it would be helpful thanks :D :D

[@twojastara3325]

great assembly generally all sweeps . name of the song from the beginning?

[@StefanS-ig2rm]

Would have been better if you added some over the top epic music lol

[@EvilMota]

Don't make just the movies (they are great by the way) play with toys, build the castles, everithing and play. Much more fun than just watch.

[@TNEMORAWIN]

Это великолепно!\It's perfect!

[@fsamaeli9792]

Do another EPIC battle

[@MeowingWhale]

Which graphical settings did you have on

[@batesBeckham]

ArchdukeOfApricots everything maxed out except shadows set to medium, and AF set to 4x. The reason for the shadows is my nividia card bugs out on shadows, there is something seriously wrong with the shadow rendering in this game for my 980. Even on medium i cant get the shots i want half the time because its all over the place. Its not my card, and my drivers are up to date. I may post a video showing you guys what im talking about...its insane.

[@MeowingWhale]

Thanks, would my rig be able to run that well? CPU - Intel i7 4790k GPU - GTX 780 Ti Mobo - Asus Maximus Hero VII RAM - 8 gb DDR3 (to be upgraded soon) I also have another question; are the 970 and 980 better than the 780 ti performance wise? I'm thinking of upgrading around Christmas time. Thanks again, and keep up the great work. Your videos are awesome!

[@eleonahjanestories]

nice battle

[@GodLikeGamingRBG7]

is this how the game is when you purchase it?? or do you need to buy something extra too

[@batesBeckham]

GodLikeGaming YT the base game doesn't have any blood. So if you want blood you can buy the blood and gore dlc for a like a dollar or two. however the game is significantly modded. And I'm sure there is a blood and gore mod in the steam workshop for free. I don't know your PC specs but most gaming PCs run battles around 2k to 7k troops. this is 15k troops and I even have larger battles than that. I custom built my PC solely for this game...every part and brand chosen by how well it ran total war games. So I wouldn't expect you to be able to buy it and have it look remotely this large in scale. check out some of my other vids I have a 17k siege, an 18k siege and even 19k siege. it's insaine. but to end the question you asked..you could in theory recreate this without purchasing anything extra like a DLC. I am running custom battles. this is not a campaign or multiplayer match. it's just me vs the AI, and I chose every single unit that would be on the field for both teams.

[@GodLikeGamingRBG7]

bates Beckham oh..ok, as long as i get the blood and gore im fine lol, thanks!

[@GodLikeGamingRBG7]

bates Beckham thats insaine that you built your own computer

[@batesBeckham]

GodLikeGaming YT it's actually really easy..or at least I found it to be. it was alot of fun to make.

[@GodLikeGamingRBG7]

bates Beckham did you use a tutorial of some sort becuaee it would be pretty cool if i could build one, or did you just do it on your own

[@RobertoY94]

excellent!!

[@batesBeckham]

Roberto Yepes thank you!

[@annalou4603]

7:09 dam that was deadly

[@samuelfortini8275]

you must have a op computer in other to run this game. what are the specs, if you don't mind me asking

[@BeowulfTheBountyHunter]

Can you try and do these types of battles in Third Age Total War?

[@batesBeckham]

Dark_Wolf6211 i am going to do that, with Attila, they are recreating the third age for it! very excited

[@Tab00li]

What mods are you using?

[@dvittur91]

Generals to the last. They gave their men a chance

[@smutje7775]

Which Mods did you use, please?

[@reef_hood_killz330]

nice music for a war
