Great battle, well done. This game is awesome, remember me the good old times. And it´s really difficult and complex. I remember one time, i was making an beatiful city, suddenly an earthquake separated the city in two, and ruined everything hahahaha

[@Turkisshh2]

I still remember enjoying the F out of Mediolanum, even giving it a multiple playthroughs. Mind you, back in the day, I sucked pretty badly in Caesar 3, so even this mission(#5, was it?) was ULTRA CHALLENGING for me, which only made it all the more fulfilling to play, and I was also enthusiastic for all the Punic Wars history. Not to mention that Mediolanum was my first encounter with building a Victory Arch in C3. All in all, Mediolanum is by far my #1 C3 mission to this day.

[@Stephens_Rocket]

I think this is my favourite too, for the size of city needed and the epic battles.

[@EngPheniks]

The battle music is awesome

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

+EngaPheniks Have you heard the "Pharoah" battle music that one used to really shit me up as i knew a massive army of the Sea peoples would be landing near my settlement lol

[@EngPheniks]

​@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- All simulation games of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Caesar 3, Pharaoh, Zeus-Poseidon, Emperor: Rise of Middle Kingdom were my favourite. I grew up playing them.

"Да здравствует Цезарь!" So cool! 😎

[@mal637jb]

Dude awesome tactic of using the ranged to slowly fall back while weakening Hannibal's army. they didnt attack directly so there were low casualties. you even used them to attack their flanks to cover the other group falling back. you even made it like 300 where u funnel them into a small opening. and if they pushed u back far eneough they would have to go through the arrows xD haha that was pretty epic. awesome times in caesar III. i wonder if i can do that for caesar IV =)

[@Frank_Lee_Terrible]

You can just build 6 forts of Jav and lure them forever. No towers or weapons needed

[@yuripantyhose4973]

defeating this battle on hardest difficulty was very satisfying

[@singhanianilesh]

i like layers of towers with very small army, always works.

[@punknhead23]

I always feel bad when the elephants die. LoL

[@JulioAvi]

Incredible batle, I'm going to play this game again. It's courius, but many battle cry listened here was taken for the red alert theme.

[@Forgotten_Foods]

nice microing with those javelings =D

[@yaaroslav]

@Kolashov Have you provided them water(well or fountain near house)? Have you provided them food: build farm, granary and market near the place where the people setled?

[@Thierry889]

I did a similar thing, but instead of lions I let gladiators march in a zig-zag manner. Then you can use the army for Caesar's request without worrying that you might have send too many or too few cohorts.

[@Pei_Bo]

still playing this game

[@janithgladius8039]

It's a very risky strategy but finally u manage it. soldiers health and moral will suffer

[@lotrringereras]

omg hannibal just kicked my ass and now im watching your vid :D

[@Houseplanman]

I'm so jealous....I need to get this game again!

[@yaaroslav]

I used HyperCam 2. But it didn't record sound so I placed the sound by using pinnacle Studio Plus 11

[@CHADarK758]

Love this game havnt played in years though

[@gaiusscipio]

There is a way to defeat Hannibal that results in 0 casualties. I use a similar method but I have built bridges and gatehouses in the north. I use the javelin throwers to lead Hannibal's troops across the bridges onto the small islands. This creates a set of choke points that is perfect for ranged fighters but makes infantry useless. The javelin throwers fall back leading them to the city gates where I have a road system filled with Gladiators and Lion Tamers which I use as a defensive line

[@Kolashov]

@Yaaroslav i have. not EVERY house has a fountain though :p

[@TheRafaspartan117]

nice i can hear the Red alert 2 yell

[@yaaroslav]

@Sam178888 is it principal? if enemy atacks in front - would it make less loses?

[@brunochavesanimais]

You city is beautyfull

[@1290001]

This was my faviorte battles with Hannibal because of the Elephants that I just Slautred like flies!!!!!

[@matthewsteele99]

it always seems to me that when i fight, wall guards, prefects, gladiators, lions and ballistas balance out the favor towards me, if my legions have softened up the enemies

[@bad4ever2001]

@bad4ever2001 Nevermind, figured it out. You gotta have ppl in the city first for the reseviors to work. But GAD DAMMIT, those wolves! They ate everyone! >_< How do you counter them early?

[@Shorts88898]

Who’s watching this in 2020

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

2021

[@pakimafia276]

I played this gane a long time ago but the one in looking for is the older version of this at start u get limited amount of money and you build your own city and you have archers workers and stuff i cant remember can any 1 please please tell me what its called and where to get it from thanks

[@Azzinoth104]

nice battle

[@misamiguiz]

good

[@gaiusscipio]

@bad4ever2001 Slow the game down or pause it when you start the scenario. The wolves are in the top right hand corner of the screen. Wall them in and when you get a legion of Javelin throwers send them to stand outside the walls and they will automatically kill the wolves.

[@A350Airways]

Somehow, it made me think of the Mumakil in Return of the King.

[@Volound]

its spelled hannibal btw not gannibal. nice vid and good strategy, i think i might upload a battle as well. what do you use to record the game?

[@bad4ever2001]

Hell, I cant get the reseviors to pump water, is this a bug on this map? I placed them right next to the river and everything.

[@yaaroslav]

Just imagine youself: all this sounds, SFX are didn't were there - they were added throw the damn video!

[@yaaroslav]

@LIEBMEIN go to the panel "Senate" click on "army status" then, you'll have 3 options on each of your cohorts: go to the screen where soldiers of this cohort are now being, order: go to the fort, and order: "Imperial serve ". Click on the cohorts which you want to send for Caesar - be warned: to small army will not stand against the enemy, to big army - which you will send will make your city vulnerable for the attacks of barbarians. Then: go to Caesar panel: and click: "send army"

[@lobbotekka2019]

Correct me if I am wrong but, doesn't Caesar stop attacking you and your favour rise if you are able to fend him off 3 times? I seem to remember that or am I mistaken?

[@minka866]

Bester fase ever!

[@brainwasher9876]

i know, right? I can't believe that the guy actually managed to micro with such a limited combat system.

[@UAUAIOAIIAAOOA]

There is a trick! The souds and FX efects - are not correctly starting in the same time shown. It seems that sound were falcificated:)))

[@Zamolxes77]

Too many legionaries, too few javelins, not enough towers and walls.

[@LeChouchou]

it's a WAR!!!!!

[@bunker931]

no need for those scorpion turrets in this level though...

[@darius-hollard]

@Yaaroslav plz with what did u record ? cause i have fraps but the dumb shit dont recognize caesar III as a game xD

[@Pgraci]

The battle is awesome but I guess I'll just stick to caeser IV

[@rukus100821]

interesting tactic. i love the video but i can't understand Russian, but i don't think that matters since you showed how to over come the enemy army.

[@ArAtoSoW]

immortal game.

[@hortonfuturecentre]

Much better to build towers to block off the two narrowest points on the rocks and on the little rock 'islands' - let the towers do the work so your soldiers dont have to. BTW it is fun to piss Caesar off just so you can kick his ass (and YES I have done that and gone on to win the level!)

[@fykDice]

@Yaaroslav incorrect, he actually is stopping to attack you after you defeat him several times tried it by myself and it worked

[@Volound]

hahaha nice job

[@Nabizat]

@Dragonguy68 yeah, its shareware (or whatnot). just google it

[@lobbotekka2019]

@Yaaroslav Really? I have forgotten a lot about the great game unfortunately. I remember pissing off Caesar just to take on the might of the legions. Great stuff.

[@xDarkDice]

anyway i can get Caeser 3 for free?

[@CptSchmidt]

Why do you have a huge hole in your wall? Use a gatehouse...

[@TorturedXeno]

@Coveredfire01 I was playing the game just now. :)

[@yaaroslav]

Looks like real yeah?

[@yaaroslav]

@lobbotekka2019 No Caesar wouldn't stop attack you after 3rd time. He will continue attack you endless. The only the way to stop attack - to increasing his favour by satisfying his needs or paying to him a present.

[@Volound]

DIE WAFFEN... ... LEGT.. AN!!!!

[@OptLab]

Roma Victor!

[@RolandTemplar]

Heeeeeyyyy

[@high-voltage9547]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@MisterL2_yt]

Prosperous city? You ahd 25% wtf you cruel thing! Edit: and you even take the caesar income of 100 instead of the quaestor income of 12 which you should take... greedy...

[@cincrlatko]

i usually make triple wall its make city invulnerable :)

[@user-sx2xk6tr1u]

ААААААААААААаааа!!!

[@patrick-sprachenmusikstudi5351]

Carthaginem ceterum censeo.

[@yaaroslav]

Да

[@aszkanfederation28]

@Racecars721 more to you i think .

[@yaaroslav]

@dermenker It is russian version

[@hoonooka]

i had fendded an small amy off with prefects

[@duderseb]

@aszkanfederation28 How old are you, kid?

[@Multibjarne]

Played this level today. I don't use soldiers as much as you do. I block the entrances I don't want them to enter and make a "maze" of towers which usually kill so many that the sonofabitches bail out

[@darius-hollard]

oops sry my faul, didnt saw the "undregistred hypercam" :P

[@Sam178888]

@Yaaroslav MUCH less. the enemy must attack the front AND the legions must not move

[@Pi10sco]

i survived caesars army like 4 times

[@5mwa]

Do you guy know the lions from lion house can fight too? They are better fighter than the legionnaires. I built like 30 lion houses and build a colloseum outside the city walls. Just outside your city walls, build a zig-zag manner road, so all your lions walks out to your city wall, the whole city gate entrance will be filled with lions. Your lions will tear down the elephants and enemy army. I won the battle without using a contingent of army. You can try it just for pure entertainment.

[@manupainkiller]

Lol I can't believe this works to defend yourself...yes I know lions can fight, but to defend only with lions ? That is crazy !!

[@bunker931]

this is actually the easier level to play. you should fend off the first wave with your god's help. then use 3 footsoldiers with 3 lancers tactic.

[@AAAAAAAARRGHH]

MEDIOLANUM IS GREAT!!!

[@Sksk27547]

Funny

[@Kolashov]

i don't understand this game.... why the hell are all my civilians living in tents ? any1 knows? :p

[@seriousdemon222]

@aszkanfederation28 its over 13 years old -_-

[@matthewsteele99]

lol i survived it over 10 times and ill survive it more than that

[@johndoeman9187]

I always found Caesar III annoying. Zeus and Emperor are so much easier. I don't know how anybody actually wins Caesar III with no road blocks and the fact that if your houses are too close to businesses it kills the scene, too far and they don't get access to labor.

[@matthewsteele99]

gatehouses are roadblocks

[@TheRobar2]

Ты русский?

[@darius-hollard]

IN SOVIET RUSSIA... wait we are in soviet russia xD

[@yaaroslav]

Hi Wact my new amaizing video search: "re push to drama"

[@uy-mdcccxci9834]

I've never seen such a terrible strategy, come on! Legions must not move, they must all be in the turtle formation and waiting, though the javelin legion can do what they did. The loses would be less and I woudn't fight so near the city

[@Stephens_Rocket]

The point is to fight them where the towers are since they're the best things for taking out elephants.

[@xdeser2]

this was such an awesome game but to be honest.....the combat was complete ass
