BATTLE OF ALESIA - Legendary Difficulty - Historical Battle for Rome 2

- Historical battle of Alesia for Rome 2 on Legendary Difficulty. Played on the final patch for Rome 2 with no modifications.
These battles are not fought to be historically correct, but rather to win at any cost. Most of the Rome 2 battles have become insanely difficult on Legendary difficulty as of the final patches.

Ahhaahaha
Lol
Rome to taste revenge

As Mattium burns
The Rhine in Roman possession
Onwards, to Teutoberg!
To liberate the final frontier!
bro 2 years later and im still dying over this xD
🤣
I love how the victory points in Caesar's camp are in the exact fucking part of his fort that he temporarily lost to the Gauls during the battle.
LoTW better than Caesar confirmed?

*also guys please share this video around if you can to like reddit and such. I'm sure a lot of people want to know how to do this battle and the steps i took are repeatable.*
It must have been difficult for Caesar considering he was stuck in first person cinematic view the whole time. Couldn't see his cursor to give proper commands. And don't get me started on his problem with pathfinding.
Then again, there's a reason he was top of the leaderboard in 44 BC. (Fucking Brutus and his hacking!)
The Gauls technically also had a hard time, all of their troops had shit morale.
Arguably one of the most outrageous victories in the classical era
wtf i cant even beat this on normal
I almost did, then my game crashed in the last wave ):
Yey, I won on easy with mods. Barely...

You pirated the game.
apparently there's nothing in Total War world you can't beat
It is said that long after the battle of Alesia, Emperor Legend would stumble through his palace yelling:
"Creative Assembly! Fucking Creative Assembly! ( 16:06 )!"
Caesar would be proud

The Legend of total war, people its 101% official now.
only 101%?
The Gods be praised! The Gaulish dogs are dead! Fear makes a home in our enemy's heart!
The gods smile upon you today.
Well I agree with you - in my opinion Historical battles should be accurately modelled in the game and the "challenge" of these should be how efficient to do them, not how much the odds are stacked against you in the form of artificial buffs to the AI... I hate this system, not only because I suck at cheesing the AI to your level.
that effort deserves a triumph bro

You actually made that look easy, Beast of TW. Gratz mate, well deserved.
Absolute fucking beast. Legend I have know clue what to say you are just awesome.
Why not do this as a replay next time so you can use the slow motion/pause to explain what your doing?
You made that look easy
Well done Legend, superb work there. Really enjoy these Historical battles series too, always interesting to see it done. :)
Think how good Caesar was to do it in real life with one go at it.
he didnt have to defend arbitrary victory points, he got to deploy how he wanted before the battle, his enemies didn't get legendary buffs, in fact his enemies were less effective and less disciplined than his legions, and the entire thing was fought around the entire fort not just one area. this isnt to say it wasnt incredible what he did, just that the game doesn't mean anything with regards to real historical events.
You could argue that the arbitrary victory point was the entire fortification. And the historical sources say Caesar had an army of around 54,000 and the gauls had around 300,000. Now before you all pull your PhD's in keyboard warrior out, I know historical sources cant always be trusted. So from CA's perspective I can understand the logic behind having to defend certain points in the fort, it was to try and emulate the massive disadvantage Caesar faced, but I agree it isn't the most historically accurate battle.
Vuvuzela haha you're so fucking STUPID everyone knows that the best general in history was actually anime, it has done way way damage to the world than any other general
Vuvuzela brah Hannibal would have annihilated Caesar if he was commanding at Alesia
Peach It's debetable you know. We could argue that Alexander was as good, or Scipio, since he won against Hannibal( I know the details on the Battle of Zama, Scipio was a bit lucky, but still). You can not really say who is the best general. Hell, even Caesar suffered a defeat( not crushing) at Gergovia, in 53 B.C if I am not wrong( correct me if I am).
Thanks to this video I managed to beat it on Normal difficulty. Lost like 1300 soldiers. There are main 3 key points to achieve victory. These points are: block Vercingetorix forces with one unit while bombarding them, kill all gallic missile units using cavalry as soon as you can, keep your own missile units alive till the end and properly use them. Remember to shoot gallic missile units when they are far from you and use heavy shots to inflict maximum losses on the gallic infantry when they get too close.
How did you get so many soldiers in mine I only have about 800 soldiers
@@gavinlatunski6782 I had large unit size. Maybe you played on normal size? I dunno if this setting works for historical battles though.
The video that introduced me to legend
The victory point makes sense. Ceasar had to keep the people inside encircled. If he had abandoned a section of his wall Vercengetorix could have escaped alessia. And then the war would have gone on for several more years. So ceasar had to keep him in and the others out. In reality he lost control over a segment for a short while, but managed to recapture it with some hundred men.
he said in the video how much easier it would be if the second VP was just a little closer, not that it needed to be in a completely different place
are you kidding me, they just fucking keep coming
16:16 you know things are bad when you need to use your archers to fight.
YOU'VE DONE IT SIR. Congratulation you've earned another subscriber and I'm going to keep this video for life and share to all my friends who play Total War.
so..did you share it?
10:02 it is interesting, but in one of my tries, this went so well (sending a legionary unit up to the gate, and bombarding them when Vercingetorix attacks) in normal difficulty, that almost nobody reached my wooden wall from the top! yep. only around 200 men in 5 or 6 units. and this number was so low, that actually they didn't want to attack my fences (which - what i've found out - actually triggering the next wave), so the last wave did not come!:D i conquered the third victory point which was great, but nothing happened, so with holding all the 3 victory points, and having around 70 % of my troops after 3 waves, i lost...
just happened to me wtf
Do you wake up in this mood EVERY day?😅😅 Take it easy man, you get to play games for a living what's the anger for
The victory point makes sense historicly. The battle of alesia was an atemept by the gauls to reliave vercingetirix in the fort. The victory point is positioned in the gate...wich makes sense if there trying to get the people inside the fort out theyd whant the gates. Ik ur saying the victory point is unfair from the point of view that your not give enohgh troops but thats a diffrent point. Historicly the vp makes sense
I keep coming back to this playback. It was such a well done battle.
Pray the Gods, truly the Legend of Total war and the Caesar of our time
Quick Tip:
If you pick your arty and press alt you can manualy target specific area on the ground so you won't hit your own units
I was doing that the entire battle. Targeting the entry points of the breaches in the wall.
Huh... haven't noticed :/
and that’s just one section of the battle, the whole battle was the Roman where entirely surrounded, you have to admit Caesar is badass
Bloody hell that looks frustrating
Okay, I concede. This battle isn't impossible, but it is fucking ridiculous.
No they made it physically impossible with a later update

im watching you
Khorps *EXCUSE* me?!
Finally beat this today after watching your video blessings
Great job legend! Would love to see more series like this.
Incredible work man! Just goes to show just how much of an Incredibly smart and tactical general Julius Caesar was to be so unbelievably out numbered and still come out victorious him and Alexander are the greatest!
Can someone explain me why archers and javelinmen have full ammo at the end of the battle while using ammo for 20 minutes and racking up 500+ kills?
probably they were stationed and well-prepared for a big fight?
Towers give unlimited ammo
Well fucking done man! I do a standing ovation to you.
I still need to know how he stretches a unit so thin like that and also how do u select multiple units of the same kind so fast with what seems to be just 2 clicks
Hot keys and fine mouse work
i think this battle depends on your unit size settings^^ i have every unit on 120 men and i cant stretch them wide enough to hold any of these gaps.
How could archers kill 1000 men lol. They dont have enough arrows and damage for that.
Because the same reason why oathsworn shred everything in sight.
how do you spread the legionarys so thin? mine wont let me extend them that far, they stay 3 ranks deep or so.
By getting good
Yep, I've noticed this aswell ...
A patch released after this made it so you can't apparently. It also made a lot of the tactics Legend uses here obsolete: for one, archers in the first tier will start shooting the legionaries you send up to bottleneck the gate, and the enemy will send spears to counter your cav, making it difficult to hit their missile units.
These battles are ridiculous . I don't know why they are so hard ? Could be AI? ALTHOUGH it's also buffs because I'm pretty sure I had 4 units of citizen Cav on one unit of companions in the raphia battle and lost .
Vlad Buiac citizen cav is bad tho
Caesar droped a tear from up there.
Legend of total war, you are a fuckin legend. Well done man, seriously well done! This is my favorite battle from history. Loaded the battle up on normal for the first time today and thought theres no way I can win this. And here you are beating it on very hard... Bravo
correction: Legendary difficulty!!
Jupiter bless you!
Today I have learned that you can focus fire with artillery.
really well played. fantastic control and tactics
it is sad I can't deploy my men into 2line formation......minimum is 4line.....it was changed in some patch?
I know ur not a fan of Rome 2 anymore but now that u cannot stretch formations this battle has gotten even more difficult
Caesar would could go bananas, if he saw an eagle cohort defeated;)
how do you make a balista shoot in spot instead of at a unit
just came to check if this was impossible or not because this thing just rips my soul. spent so many hours trying to win this fucking battle
caesar had still an army after that fight...
You try this then.
The Romans one because of booby traps and punji sticks and obstacles the Barbarians could not get past.
IF you had a way to get into the fort slaughter the enemy and take that position than you wouldn't need that impossible second one, but NO, by the time you get there you already lost the second point and by the resources you've invested there you just let the first one surrounded too.
This is just CA trolling us, I can't imagine another reason.
Also the problem is that by the time you start to get some results you're already so frustrated with the game that you start to commit irrational mistakes.
I mean after being "defeated" so many times.
battle of alesia isn't designed poorly, and the lose condition of those points aren't arbitary. IRL the Gauls never got a hold of ANY position within the roman fortification, and if they did they would have won. Those 2 points are simply 2 points the Ghauls are targetting right now, if IRL you lose them the besiged army and the relieving army can link up and you are lost! I know you want to abandon positions, attack elsewhere outflank and all, but Ceaser couldn't do that and because the game has it's limitation it needs to force you to not do that either.
Ceasar won the same way you did, franticly giving orders, forcing his men to fight all day and repell an endless amount of attackers, wave by wave, hanging on to a small chance of victory by the thread of a needle. So much can go wrong for you in this battle wich means you instantly lose, guess what this is how it actually was, if any of ceasar's units would have performed less than at 100% of their capacity ceasar would have lost.
Good work, dude!
How many times did you record and did a commentary on this?
how do you put your units in a long line like that?
because I can't do it in my own game it's just a thick line of units
I cant seem to win this game. The last wave didnt seemed to appear and I controlled all victory points with vercingetorix dead as well.
Great skill..
Just got my ass beat on normal difficulty for this battle, lot of stuff here (sending that one legion all the way up to the fort blows my mind) I know to do now
Let them gather at the victory point then order your ballistas from the hills to unleash hell muahaha
Hello @legendofTotalWar. I enjoyed watching your video and what makes this level very difficult is because in reality Caesar charged with loads of horsemen and it scared the crap out of the Gauls, here they fight back?
I copied your tactics and was able to beat this on legendary! But even with your tactics, there's still a huge job to be done.
As you said, everything has to be perfect, you also need some luck, the AI has to completely expose his missile units, even one unit of Levy Freemen is enough to prevent your cavalry from killing his missile units
Excellent deployment.
very useful skill!! thank you guy.
How did you get your units in 2 lines or less. I only can form 4 lines and then I cant protect all the walls cause they are not wide enough.
when i finally manage to do this level i dont know wtf else im going to do with my life
I put my eagle cohort outside of the gate to hold of vercingetorix and we ended up killing his entire army before the second wave was scripted to launch so I had to surrender :'(
Why did you surrender
Why?
so i blocked the gate of the inner city so good that all the units died and i took over the victory point of the city and i didnt win the map^^ because appearently the units rushing out of the city trigger wave 4 and 5 to attack you from the outside. and taking the victory point doesnt make you win, defeating all the armies does. contrary to every other scenario in the game. ridiculous^^
Yo why is my man Julius looking so old.
Stress from the workplace.
Only beat this once in legendary, very hard to do it again.
absolutely insane
Obviously every player will just run away or just let it die in auto-assault if you encounter such force in campaign mode
Lol I just had a lionheartx10 ad on a lotw video :D
3:57 how can ı use ballista like that. I wanna bomb the area but i dont know how ı can do it
Hold down the alt button
At least 1 saving grace is the infinite ammo the archers and skirmishers get
pretty sure legend is the best total war player in the world
i really want to see this battle from the perspective of one soldier
Dude, you have to make the body count numer lower, so you wont have this much lag!
You would have been the legionary that all the others hated!
**"in my professional fuckin opinion" aahhaha keep it up man, good to see a fellow aussie getting big xx**
I can't get it to work. The scripts aren't sending in the last wave
Bruh same
fucking CA they never fix their fucking bugs
@@Spoontamer4 not only that but they changed the unit stats making it insanely difficult
@@tier1solutions28 I literally put it at 3x speed and just waited for like 1h but nothing happened. CA does really good trailers but their games always turn out to be as disastrous as my past relationships
@@Spoontamer4 glad I'm not the only one thanks for the reply
Do the same for other games!!!!!!
this is the toughest battle in rome 2
How come when i play I have 1680 men not 2240. Wondering why it is so hard
That doesn't affect it really it's just if you play with max settings then you have more troops
God, I wish CA would actually improve the series. No work has been done in like 10-15 years really. Just minor tweaks here and there.
It wasn’t poorly designed; it actually was that difficult and impossible. If they broke one point in the wall, it’s done.
its like watching a god control this army.... have my children
no more spagetti lines...
You make it look so easy
can i ask ur pc specs?
Divide et Impera mod team did MUCH better with the historical battles, and quite frankly the entire game, than Creative Assembly did. Try the DEI historical battles they are way way WAY better and more fun. Also, men dont die as fast so you actually have time to make tactical movements.
