Great vid and great game. To bad a player couldn't jump in and be a soldier here and there. Now that would be interesting.
Yes liked and comment too
You can win a battle or two against the Romans because they too are subject to blunders, but in the long run they come back at you and destroy you completely or punish you sufficiently (Skipio Africanus, Germanus, respectively).
I think it was this battle , where it was said that the Romans were pack so tight that a soilder couldnt raise his arm to fight.

That's correct
Yes, it was.
That’s what they say
@@cwtsang6756 HANNIBAL not Hannah. Yes..I translated what you said.
OK....Spielberg it ain't, but this is the best recreation of an ancient historical battle that I have seen. This really recreates the "feel" of this ancient warfare. Thanks and Bravo!!
scale of budgets,when looking at that its a masterpiece
Potentially because of time, Rome 2 may never provide me the nostalgic feeling that Rome 1 does, but I've got to say: Rome 2 is the most visually appealing TW game I've ever played (as someone who has been playing since Medieval 1). These cinematic battles are such a strong reminder of that 💪
Not that im trying to start an argument but what about Total War Shogun 2?
@@iklantloin4593 Not trying to start a fight, but i think shogun 2 kinda suck.
A splendiferous account of one of history's greatest battles studied down thru the ages by military strategists.....never tire of people's interpretations of it...
g
The fact that Rome suffered 3 titanic defeats in their homeland and still ended up winning is a testament to their constitution and citizen soldiers. Carthage suffered one defeat in their territory and collapsed, Achaemenid Persia suffered three and collapsed.
Tl;dr Rome Stronk
To kinda explain more.... Carthage had zero ways to besiege romee SO while Hannibal could beat the roman forces in the open battles, he had no way to actually hold or capitalize on his victories. While the tactics he used was genius, his overall strategy was rather idiotic.
You have to realize furthermore, that the 2nd punic war diplomatically is what destroyed the Carthaginian empire. as the roman senate had full say in all matters concerning border disputes and such.. which rome ruled in favor of the non-Carthaginian party _heavily_.
When the 3rd punic war started, it was almost solely just the city of carthage, which had just lost a massive battle with Numidia a couple years prior, and by the end of the 3rd punic war (which was literally just the siege of carthage) only 50,000 estimated carthaginians survived.
So, your comparison to the 1 battle loss opposed by 3 battles lost is nowhere near an equivalent one to make.
@@htennek1 If the Carthagenian Govt. supported it's mi;itary.it most l;ikely would hAVE DEFEATED ROME/.
كان جيش حنعبل في أسوأ حالاته في المعركة الأخيرة له لهذا السبب سقطت قرطاجة ليس غريبا على الإطلاق
الأمر يشبه نوعا ما خسارة الصليبيين في حطين أمام المسلمين بسبب حاجتهم للماء
@@htennek1 You’re underestimating the amount of sway one substantial battle holds. Confrontations like these happens months to even years apart and would take a long time to recuperate from for either side. Rome couldn’t just keep levying soldiers forever so defeating their armies on the field was enough to capitalize off of on its own. Carthage lending their expertise in engineering for the siege engines would’ve just been the cherry on top.
No carthage suffered half a dozen defeats before it made peace. Battle of ilipa 206 bc, battle of utica & battle of bagrades in 203 bc then battle of zama 202 bc, thats much more than 1 defeat as it could take a similar beating too. Dont present carthage as weak.
The two comments before me speak the absolute truth and I couldn’t agree more. Informative, entertaining, and artful.
The narration just made it 100× epic...God Mode!!
I've just caught up with this marvellous videos. Narration, cinematic volume and mad sound is truly great. I am not even going to comment on the analysis, which is perceptive and revealing. I cannot imagine the amount of work that went into this. If the general public want to understand why some of us are obsessed with the military tactics of the Middle Republic than just show them this.
Thank you to all involved,a fantastic way to showcase historical moments.
Cheers

Rome vs Africa and Europe
Great video, fantastic work! Hope this gets the attention it deserves.
Absolutely loving your channel HOLY HELL this is like visual CHATGPT for my history enthusiasm
Great video of a legendary battle. Well done
Any other nation of that time would have simply collapse after those huge human losses after Trebia, Trasimene and Cannae but Rome was build different. It did help that Hannibal had no siege engines to go besiege Rome but still.
Hannibal had siege engines. They built them when needed. Read Livy or Polybius.
Freaking great work as always!
Muito bom!!!! Excelente vídeo!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow Make more of this video it's so Amazing and informative👍.
Love from Philippines😘🇵🇭

Even one of the greatest generals of all time had a micromanagement problem and forgot to press "halt" button on his cav units...
Danke sehr gut in Szene gesetzt interessant gespielt. Die schlacht war so faszinierend aber auch grausam hat mir sehr gut gefallen🙋♀️😍😀🙋♀️🙋♀️🇩🇪 i historisch sehr überzeugend produziert ein Lob dem Team💐💐🙏🙋♀️🇩🇪🇩🇪
Liked and shared, you deserve it . Keep making videos
Much appreciated!
Well done here. 👍
This is GREAT! The only thing, which is different, from what I read in historic books is, that the Romans didn’t had that much space to fight and to move. Their rowes and lines stood so close to each other, that they were killed slice by slice. If one row was too tired to fight, it was their end. There was no stepping back, because they were pushed to the ones behind them, which were the next ones with the fate of fighting until the definitely death - fatal fate! You can‘t see that in this animation, but in the end it is nevertheless fantastic and at one point the voice from off tells you, that they had to fight shoulder to shoulder … and exactly that was the truth. That was their way of fighting in the last minutes of their lives. As far as I read, the total battle lasted eight hours and never before or after so many people lost their lives in acts of war on European soil in such a short period of time.
That was amazing, a work of art; I watched it before the notification bell came up
Thank you! Cheers!
Battle of Cannae so epic🔥
I always like to learn new things, and all these wonderful creations on RUclips do not let me get out of the house! Oh, the dilemma!
This is an honour to me. As an a Roman, this gives me goosebumps
All of the Roman Empire's successor states have collapsed. Not a single nation can directly trace their past to the Roman Empire. Not even Italy.
As a Scot, we remember you and those walls you built.....nice job...too bad it didn't quite work out.
وأنا فخور بأني مسلم عربي العرب هزمو الروم والفرس والفيكنج و المغول ☠💪
Great video
Great Video thanks
Hi man.. Please create video for the Alexander Vs Porus
Your quality in videos is outstanding, sorry about the YT shit
Wonderful 👏
Very underated channel
really good
Oh! So good
Magnificent
Awesome battle !
So cool
Great battle
U should reach 100k
Divide et Impera is an amazing mod. That is what Rome 2 should have been upon release.
What a gread Video 😳👏
Appears Hannibal was ahead of his time in tactics.
The bloody humans! That's your history.
Don't forget the Celtic horsemen who also surrounded the Romans after the cavalry clash.
Can you do one on the ancient Israelites during the time of David? Or can you do the Roman-Jewish bar kochba revolt?
Buen trabajo 👍
That voice in the background that yelled "His peni in my anniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" was hilarious. I seriously doubt that was part of the script the video creators were given. Artistic license, ha!
🙌👌
Or The Battle Of Marathon?
Who else saw the nazie symbole at 3:46 in one of the shields on the bottom left?
Epic music 🎵 at 12:00
Such an overwhelming victory seems unlikely: Romans - a highly experienced fighting force - losing more than 10x the number of men.
The Romans at cannae were hardly a highly expierenced fighting force. The Roman army of the mid republic was not of the same quality of the late republic, although they still better than most armies in the ancient world. At Cannae half of the Romans are fresh troops with no expierence and less than 8 monthes of training. To be fair, Hannibal's gallic troops aren't that expierenced either but still, his Spanish and Libyan troops are likely superior to the Romans in quality. Hannibal also has the cavalry advantage, which is important. Most importantly Hannibal is a far superior general to Varro/Paulus.
5,000 is a lot to lose even for a victorious army. I can see why Hannibal was becoming more desperate for troops when Rome didn’t surrender and when his brother kept getting stopped back in Spain
Hannibal should've used Archer's against the Roman calvary and then he could've utilized his own Calvary better
Cavalry. You're not 6, are you?
The Carthaginian Achilles Hell in this war was their lack of a navy since it was destroyed in the First Punic War. Hence they could not prevent Scipio from landing in Africa.
What is the soundtrack at the start of the video?
The background music 🥹good memories RTW
One of the consals got away and you forgot the hidden reinforcements of Hannibal !
14:08 "The legions break with nowhere to run!" Legions start running.
meaning they have nowhere to run from cavalry that will chase them anyway. duh
Roman on roman violence at 7:49, no wonder they lost
I am wondering how many hours did the battle last? I have read the Romans had their faces into the sun and the dust and wind was blowing into their lines that day. I wonder what impact that had? I have no idea what kind of stamina that takes to fight a battle all day long like this. The exhaustion would undoubtedly lead to guards down and then a death blow or a severe wound might come about and then the death blow.
funny part..2000 years later a man inspired by hanibal would create the trap of stalingrad for the germans.
ita why stalingrad is also sometimes called panzer cannone
What Mods you use ?
13:50 lmaoooo
Incredibilis
60,000 was about 20% of the adult male population. By rights that should have been the end of Rome. Why didn't Hannibal just take the city?
no renforcements food supply or aid from carthrage iits hard to feed 400000 men horses and oxes
It is reported after the battle that Roman men dug holes in the ground and stuck their heads in, suffocating themselves to death. It's a story that can convey a little of went on there that day. No one can possibly imagine what is what like to be a Roman Soldier in the middle of that. Even if you somehow survived, you would be cuckoo for co co puffs.
Hannibal was blind in one eye by the battle of Cannae
What happened to the Roman Cavalry? This was never explained. At the beginning of the battle they were pursuing the fleeing Carthaginian Cavalry. Later in the battle the Carthaginian Cavalry returns.
Well historically the Roman Cavalry on the right (Carthage left side) was engaged by Hasdrubal commanding the cavalry and had persuade them through the vast field till the Roman Cavalry fully routed and the Roman Cavalry on the left side (Carthage right side) had been pummeled by javelins and Varro the command of the allied Roman Cavalry on the left cannot see the cavalry on the right so he expected that the right cavalry must have routed and not wanting to face an army bigger than his own cavalry he left the field.
The Roman cavalry were the ones fleeing, not the Carthaginian
@@WarAndHistory. Thanks for clarifying this. This is clearly stated at 5:32, but I misheard the commentary the first time I listened.
Both Roman consuls did NOT die, only Aemilius Paulus. Varro fled with a small part of survivors. A young Scipio (future Africanus) was able to save his father and lead the retreat of less than 1000 soldiers
Yeah true the Romans lost this battle
But in the end Romans made sure that Hannibal was killed
His army destroyed
And his entire civilization burn to the ground !
the battle of a genius of antiquity
How to mod this game? I wanna mod cinematic kill. Btw, my Rome 2 wasnt download from steam. Pls help me
As the 9600 Roman Triarii were left to guard the camps, there were no spear armed Roman or allied Italian soldiers in the battle..
Muy buen video y comentario añado un comentario sabían que solo un general Romano llevo al gran ejército romano y Aníbal barca por su parte hubo pricioneros de soldados romanos y en el campo de batalla hubo soldados y senadores muertos y la cifra fue de hay el dato algún día narraré la batalla de Cannas en un video la verdadera y auténtica cifra y también hubo soldados romanos que escaparon de la trampa y la cifra fue también de hay el dato
This is well and good, but, someone could get their eye out.
How many soldiers are in roman and carthigian soldiers in this game you have taken ?
Using swords, spears, stones and shields, how long does it take to chop up and kill (80,000) men? Apparently the answer is about ten hours, if you execute Hannibal's very efficient plan.

How Come I Do Not See The Battle Of Kadesh In TotalWarBattles?
Wait... two consuls dead?
戦場で前後左右を敵に囲まれたら絶望するしかない
quick question, are the roman shields made from metal?
Wood
Badhia
Didn't this stay Rome's greatest defeat in their history? (If you answer this question at the end of the video then sorry for asking lol)
In numbers probably but it was not a decisive defeat like Carrhae, Teutoburg forest or later Adrianople
Hướng dẫn đàn bài bethoven virus đi ạ
Yes, a specular Carthaginian victory. But of course, Rome did win the war.
How long to kill 80k Romans with sword and spear? about 6 hours.
Picture them fighting from horse back with no stirrups. Unwieldy at best.
More Hollywood than history
It’s a Video game 🤦
@@Memes-du3fp Then stop calling is "Historical."
13:52 JAJAJAJA
How sad that a video purporting to teach about Cannae claims (12:15) that "both the roman (sic) consuls" were dead. When someone goes to this much trouble to make a video without doing such basic research as to know Varro survived, one can only wonder how many more inaccuracies there are in the video. The makers obviously didn't do their homework. And the mistake matters. Varro was the Consul in command that day (incredibly, supreme command alternated daily between Varro and Paulus -- and Paulus had not wanted to attack Hannibal's position).
This video could have been 5 minutes
Must have been really shitty to be a roman soldier in this battle...
I enjoy this channel and its presentations....but this presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Hannibal's strategy in this battle was far more complicated and nuanced than the narration indicates. In fact, how exactly does it vary from the battle of Trebia (am I spelling that correctly?)....or for that matter, the Athenian strategy (minus the cavalry) at Marathon? And since I am whining, I might as well complete my screed by mentioning this is not how these armies fought; there is too much attention being shown of individuals fighting as opposed to trained, professional formations, which do not deliberately break rank. But it does make for a better visual show.
i will redo this battle properly at some point
@@WarAndHistory. Please do. I echo the sentiments of the OP.
@@WarAndHistory.
To be fair this battle is pretty poorly understood despite our fascination with it. Even the reason for Hannibal having a convex centre is debated, I've seen at least 3 different ideas. My favourite is that it exists to funnel the Romans towards the centre thus making them more condensed which combined with Hannibal's Libyan flanking them squeezed them into a position were they weren't able to fight effectively. Exactly how the Libyans flank the Romans is unclear as well, are they concealed behind the rest of the infantry and romans surround themselves by pushing so hard on the centre or they move up and then to sides to flank the Romans?
The reconstruction is not accurate. If you have the chance of visiting the place you will have the feeling of what really happened. The manouver of Hannibal trapped romans against the hills occupied by Hannibal troops. It must be said that at the top of one of these hills there was the city of Cannae, occupied by Hannibal before the battle. Where are the hills and the city of Cannae in this reconstruction?
Did you read the beginning or not ffs?
Miltiades at Marathon 490 BC. G 5 times less than C P 5 times more than R to the leadt
Who won?
You did
This is not accurate, do you think there would not be combat in order lines, why would cavalry give up their advantage in mobility to fight infantry? Don’t be silly
