A masterpiece of English humour, with a good deal of wit and effort mixed in to ensure a quality end product (even if that ironically happens to be a mass of angry peasants). This is nothing short of art.
From a creative standpoint, this is a really cool video format to introduce to total war games, one that I haven't seen before. RUclips videos tend to stick to a general format with regards to these games(not that's there's anything wrong with that). Ones that primarily center around battles or play through. Whereas you have not only incorporated these battles which are so interesting to us, but dramas and humor, of which you have inserted as narrative for the story that you wish to tell. How meticulously clever of your creative thought processes. Fo real mos def.
Was waiting for a good while for this video, and it exceeded all expectations I could have had about it. Totally worth the wait. I love especially the twists within it (to challenge yourself with using only villagers, show the difficulties you had to make this video and integrating it within the narrative of the video, the flashback into "Barrivendos'" memories, etc). Great stuff! Gonna love rewatching this
I play the game on windows 10 and I never crash on vanilla, just with mods occasionally. For better performance you can get the DX7 DLL and replace the dll in the directory, run Rome as administrator, disable AA in the preferences file, and run in windows 7 or xp compatibility mode. I’ve been playing Rome since I was in 2nd grade, I’ve had to do everything to get it to run correctly. Europa Barbarorum 1.3 on Alex is the best though!
"Does spam email..." "why am i so small..." "do girls care abou..." "worlds shortest p..." "world record appli..." "how to clear searc..." Its the small details that count Phil ;)
There we have 2kliksphilip an adult man who tries to get a girl, is ejaculating after seconds of intercourse and wants to take viagra to help that, beyond this searches for the worlds shortest penis to feel better that his is probably millimetres above the record, and then wants to delete his search history out of embarassement.
Philip's strategic idea: Peasants are cheap, I should attack with thousands of them Philip's RUclips idea: There are plenty of total war games, I can make thousands of videos of them
those a windows and not tabs! also, I'm sure window titles are hidden by default considering he's using large taskbar icons and that he only did it for this video! (no shit ofc, just felt like pointing it out lmao)
Haha yeah I actually paused to read those, for those that care and want to have a laugh: "does spam email..." "why am i so small..." "viagra side effects..." "do girls care abou..." "worlds shortest p..." "world record appli..." "how to clear searc..."
Playing on Windows 8, crashes very rarely for no reason. Bad fps constantly and game freezing when alt-tabbing now and then. Only known major problems I've had with the game
I had problem with crashes. I cant remember the exact fix, but i know i had to run in compatibility mode. I didnt move to any extra folders, but i did find the fix on steam. Sorry unhelpful ass comment.
The ending of this video is just perfect. Well done! Edit: went through the comments and found a whole bunch of easter eggs. This made the video go from a 9 to a solid 10 :')
And so was medieval to shogun. Point is that Medieval II was huge improvement. Really all this game is lacking is proper AI in fights. Maybe it's just me but I go back to Medieval II with joy. Earlier games on the other hand... not really. They're really old and you can see that :/
I love these stories. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I hope that making videos about games you play on your free time doesnt make you enjoy them less.
Flanking is so insanely effective in this game because of how the individuals can get attacked from the side while attacking. In later games it's all 1v1 stuff
Saw this video in my suggestions, and I'm very glad I watched it! I played the hell out of RTW and although I never assembled the peasant army, I often thought of what could be if I had. Now I know, and that part of my mind can finally be at peace. Loved the story, loved the jokes, loved the personal touches. You just got a sub mister!
Your editing is amazing! syncing music and visuals with particular actions and storytelling is terrific! Your commentary in this series of TW videos is great, and the jokes are just right. Some even made me laugh hard. Timing is impeccable! You've more than earned my subscription! I look forward to more great editing and comedy from you.
Incredible that I'm only now discovering your channel. Another absolutely brilliant effort here. The way you manage to bring the game to life in such an entertaining and humorous way is just such a delight.

1:31 - Divinitus starts to play in the background by Angela & Jeff van Dyck, that song reminds me of my childhood and the days and week's on end i've spent playing this game, this game made me like history in general. The songs brings a lot of nostalgia along with it. Great video btw. Thank you.
glory to the peasants! long may they be remembered! nice video and excellent commentary on a old classical game , which is still a great game to play.. :)
aah nice that remembrance of the beloved old game , and tactic of swarms of villager seems working fine , and very nice and funny commentary too was amusing, and the scenes and montage was brilliant wow , cool video
this game somehow still out does every single total war installment that came after, it truly gave the feeling of freedom, you could make army's of anything and play as anyone and still win. not to mention siege battles in the later game just became disappointing.
I was expecting you would just use advanced units. Because even in very hard it is easy to defeat the French. But this? I wasn’t expecting this at all!
This was the best rome total war video I have ever watched! Your comments and way of telling the story was awesome I would like to see more of this in the future. Keep up the good work man!
10:39 ... Nostalgia ... I had the exact same plastic armor(in 2), with the same damaged parts, the eagle on the shields never helds and i lost the shoulders golden things :) But they should still be somewhere at my parents home :,) Ahhh... Goood times ...
Your total war videos are amazing! I hope you aren't afraid to make more (for lack of a better word) "let's play" style videos because of the tech-oriented nature of your channel now, because they're great
I've enjoyed a great lot of your videos for 'bout half a yeah now. Now this is the first, that had me outright laugh in multiple sections. Not that your other content isn't great - merely, that this is a master piece! Great job writing the script on this philip. Keep up the good work
So punish the french for what the independant Duke of Normandy did? Who in turn was a viking descendant, given land in exchange for protecting France from other vikings....
I remember going to this campsite once, and we visited this manor house that had something to do with Robin Hood, so they were selling swords and bows and arrows there (wooden toy ones obviously). We brought them back to the campsite and started this massive "war" with all the other kids, and all they had were sticks while my team had real weapons of war. Fun times.
This was so well done I felt like I was watching a documentary
Edit: The face censors were horrifying tho
GammaGames Almost every kliksphilip video is like that.... That's why i love his channel
They all died after 7 days.

I'm not even sure that it's on "normal" difficulty.

"It wasn't long before the French started running away"
Easily the best quote from the video

try telling them that? who? what? that joke? and why write try and not tried? and why would that make you sad? are you crazy?

When people talk about campaign, they usually mean double very hard, not middle difficulty.

Also: Look at the thumb drive in the bottom left of 2:32.
That smell is the enemy!
Is everyone else just gonna ignore the Chrome tabs open at 4:46? Lol

Brilliant editing, entertaining and very well made. Cheers 2kliksphilip. :-)
Now it's time for the best game in the series... MEDIEVAL II BABY!!!
The best is this one though
IDK man. I do like the time period more but Medieval II was just such an improvement in all terms...
Tropical Fruit i agree
Tropical Fruit So was Rome compared with the first Medieval
And so was medieval to shogun. Point is that Medieval II was huge improvement. Really all this game is lacking is proper AI in fights. Maybe it's just me but I go back to Medieval II with joy. Earlier games on the other hand... not really. They're really old and you can see that :/
ever since going low in csgo i believe this series has beaten it by a long shot - keep these types of vids comin
Finally! Been waiting for this video for ages! Good work Philip!
Barrivendos' backstory has the coolest transition I've ever seen. Even the music fits perfectly
TOTAL WAR more like THIS HEATWAVE IT TOTALLY KILLING ME END MY SUFFERING

All heat and no rain makes me a dull farmer

This game was my childhood. Memories I never knew I had were being dug out of the deepest crevices of my mind the more I watched this video.
I love the Total war videos
I forgot how amazing this game was
I still play it! It's amazing (and the music too)
Ok
This is BEYOND

Excellent quality made short video. I could watch these all day under lock-down.
,,but there were some, who resisted “ I know what you did there !
Absolute masterpiece ❤️
I loved your commentary and unique personality that you mixed into this. Really an enjoyable watch
9:10 "I lost over 2000 men."
You lost fewer than 1300, though... You forgot that casualties can be randomly healed, Philip.
I love this classic Total War content. It makes me feel like I'm a teenager again. Keep it up!
