i loved this game but personally i think rome 2 is better

Hello! You should submit to a leaderboard? Have you consider?

Looks dope but I am nowhere NEAR good enough to compete in a tournament lol

Amernia Legionaries is good unit, if you can rush Rome before 240 BC . If you kill Rome it will be the best all around infantry in the game. You can have an all cavs calvary or a hybrid heavy armor army of 5 Heavy Spear, 5 Armenia Legionaries and 4-5 Cara HA , 4-5 HA . Exellent on both siege or field

Another Troll Noob Box added to the collection

Why naked fanatics instead of the armour protection of bull warriors? Plus they have pila. Edit: grammar

I've always had a soft spot for Armenia

in 2024 still using noob box to win battles im gonna lose xD

The discord link doesn’t work

Dis is gayest shit iv ever seen

I don't really get the logic. Don't chariots hard counter all melee cav? It's like saying cataphracts are trash because they die when they run into pikes. Or archers are bad because they get hunted down by fast cav??

Some comments why not. If you have a unit that can form testudo, there is a very shitty tactic ultra effective which consists on taking an unit, put it in testudo, make it walk upon one side of the phalanx(frontally, it doesnt matter), but don't click the unit, click past the unit so the testudo keeps trying to go forward. It works best the higher the defense, but basically what happens is the testudo compreses against the phalanx, really tiny. Then you click to undo the testudo, and as it does, the fucking game moves everything out, undoing the phalanx and basically delivering legionaries or whatever to the heart of the now shittyswordsman-hoplites-falangites. This is shit because it's obviously a fucking glitch or bug or unintended consecuence, but it is stupidly effective and the utter disbelieve it made me feel when it first happened in multiplayer many many years ago still makes me want to bash whoever it was. Regarding the making of boxes, you just have to leave a phalanx unit as reserve in the center, if the enemy uses the concentrated attack described in the video, when the breaking it's happening, take that, in phalanx formation, make it walk clicking past the enemy and when it has made good contact, just stop them, clink clink clink clink ensues and soon enemy units, which, being concentrated, have a hard time really pressing the numeric advantatge, get decimated as usual. If you have enough units, you can just double phalanx it in all sides. Missiles can be an issue, but you are using Heavy Phalanx or similar, the enemy needs too much missiles, to the point that you can just form a line of battle and steamroll them instead of using a box.

Ahh, the old Tercio Tactics, exept the the lack of bucklers (Rodeleros)

I'm sorry, the Internet was turned off, it rarely happens, the time is late, I went to bed.

Can I play as the Chad Emperor Aurelian on this game?

ggs u should won that last 2v2, maybe i need to upgrade my internet i think xd

Wow I played this competitively in 2004-2006, can't believe it still has a competitive scene. People tried noob boxes back in those days, but infantry were severely underpowered in the patch versions I played in, and boxes were easy to break.

My eyes were bleeding from watching the games with the chinese guy. Lag was pain

Imagine a real world general rage quitting a battle in real life kuz the Russians are corner camping?🤣🤣

100k views well done luke :)

Can you make a video on how to use missile units properly, and how to negate them. As well as skirmish mode

2:15 “we are talking about a dude from Azerbaijan who can’t even kill Armenians 😂😂😂😂😂”

It's crazy how much better the combat was in these old games compared to the new ones lol

Chariots? Elephants?

Damn, I'd absolutely love a tier list for each RTW faction. I have no interest in online play, I'm just here for the nostalgia. There were so many units I thought were awesome that are probably total trash in reality.

Assaulting that with cannon is a dream come true

We all know that the best unit is: TRIARII (Sorry)

A big thing at Carrhae was not that he had a decisive strike but that he had infinite missile superiority. Roman heavy infantry always struggled against mounted archers and the box strategy just left them toothless and defenseless. Ive used it for fighting Huns in Attila and it works there because, eventually, they run out of arrows on testudo formations and you can fight them conventionally

Is it easy to transfer replays from the disc version to the steam version?

This guide was actually useful for me. I'm basically a noob now in terms of how to set the game up it's been so long since I've played.

Germans are my favorite high money faction but I might have to put praetorian cohort in 5th instead of zerks. They don't get used because of urbans existing but they are technically almost as good of a unit. I guess it depends on what rules you are using. Sometimes 30k used to be played on TWPL rules which were max 6 same units. Praet cohort became way more useful then.

This was the chart I was referring to, well done.

I forgot Armenia had camel horse archers. Pretty useless haha!

I think catas are s tier, armenia is one of the strongest factions because of them. Archers alone don’t make a faction strong like thrace. so heavy cav is straight up better i think

It's very interesting to see unit tier list from multiplayer perspective. Most tier lists that I saw were from singleplayer campaign perspective, so it's nice to see something different. It's kinda fascinating that limited archers rule make peltasts a viable choice. In campaign these guys would be trash, not worth the upkeep cost. But what I don't understand is why peasants are not in the lowest rank? Like, how they can be used to make them worth the cost? I always thought they are just here to make chain-routing enemy armies much easier.

I’ve beaten PA in Rome 2 siege, with a Swedish friend of mine He never posted the replay 😂

Great guide My question is how active is the multiplayer?

I wish I could join this time, but I am going out of town for a few days.

Wonder where the enjoyment in doing this is. Loading up a highly advantageous custom map and then corner camping doesn't flaunt any skill. It's not interactive. It's very boring and wastes time.

While the Spartans are imposing units, they get melted by missiles for their price point. Armoured Hoplites are nearly half the Spartans' price, and are very resistant to missiles due to having 11 armour value rather than the Spartans' 3. Armoured Hoplites are preferable in some situations to the more expensive Spartans.

I was wondering how elephants rank in these contests, I see that there banned in both cwb and 31k but I never understood why. Elephants are strong yeah but I always felt that units like horse archers or heavy cav was stronger. Most stuff that gets banned or limited is just too strong though so it always made me curious

I'm not sure I'd put the Spartans at number 1. Sure, the 2hp is awesome and if you stand in front of them you'll die. But who in their right mind would stand in front of them. They'll get wrecked by skirmishers.

I got too many comments to add on this one 😂 1) would be cool to do an inf list and a cav list - plus one of those tier list charts would be entertaining. 2) cataphrats lower morale and stamina make them below praets imo, definitely so head to head when considering where the defense falls on praets 3) one praet vulnerability is the defense falling higher in def skill / shield theoretically leaving a nice right side hit. 4) multiple units mentioned benefited from AP, so def worth pointing out urbans Pilas are AP

Sunzi also said to leave your enemy an opening to retreat, as men fight more viciously when they're desperate. I don't think TW implements morale boosts for no-escape situations, though (I don't actually know; I've only played three TW games and not very much).
