Goes to show how terrible this game's design is! He's conquered all of this in less than 4 hours worth of game time! That is just insane... He could potentially own half the map at this point if he was blitzing this! Between the broken auto resolve, the broken campaign AI, the broken diplomacy, and the broken movement system...this game is just terrible. Not even mentioning the countless other problems this game has. This series is only strengthening my hatred of this game.
El Monstero29 to be fair I would argue that this autoresolve is just as bad as the old games were just in the opposite direction The old games were insanely punishing I would lose 1000 elites taking a city garrisoned by 300 levies I would lose 5/1 odds battles because the enemy had a 1 star general It was insane what the old autoresolve could do to you. I had entire offensives put on hold for 10+ turns because I autoresolve one settlement (that and my ocd about having full strength armies) The series has never had good diplomacy (becides wierdly enough I have a good experience with empire diplomacy), it was just unnoticeable in shogun 2 and to a lesser extent Attila because other faction's generally expanded at the same rate as you so it kept momentum, (or in Attila's case the whole map was Roman so that cut out most of the map to interact with and stuffed it in two factions) and dont get me started on pre-warscape at least these guys give you a few turns warning before breaking the multi generational alliance on your unguarded flank. Like if you got alliance breaking in DAC you would see aragorn besiege imladris and the rohirrim murdering boromir that's what the diplomacy of the olds games is like As for the rest yes this is true. While I wouldn't call the game terrible (I have too many hours in divide et impera to do that) it certainly isn't the series highlight and is saved only by its time period
Absolutely true that the older games had problems of their own. But that only strengthens my argument further! The fact that these problems have plagued the series for so long and yet they still haven't resolved them is a damning indictment of CA's problem solving skills. As you rightly point out, auto resolve is broken in the older game, just in the opposite manner. So, instead of fixing their system, they instead swung the pendulum the opposite direction. And now, you can win the game without even trying! At least Med 2 requires you to actually fight battles in order to win. I much prefer an auto resolve that favors the AI than one that favors the player. Ideally it wouldn't favor anyone, but that is asking too much it would seem. Diplomacy, again, yes, it's just as dumb and broken in the older games. This is what they implemented to "improve" it? That is just plain dumb. Literally the only improvements they've made to the series since "upgrading" to the warscape engine revolve around graphics, sound, and animations. The campaign map and battle map grow ever prettier to look at, but also they get simpler and more dumbed down with every release. Even the battles in Rome 2 feel goofy and arcadey. Sieges are just as bad, if not worse than Med 2. Naval battles?! Oh god, don't even get me started on that garbage. It's perfectly fine if you enjoy this game. I also tried to do so with DEI but I just can't. There are too many fundamental game design issues that no mod can address.
LegendofTotalwar 4 hour campaign = Conquered half the map Me 4 hours into a campaign = Just leaving Italy. On a serious note, you play manual battles pretty averagely lmao. Plenty of times you could have turned that battle into a slaughter. Why do you always hit them head on. Use your number advantage and swing around.
Maybe you should try to manually resolve battles between 20-75% of auto-resolve, that way you skip the very boring battles but we still get to see at least 2 battles per episode. You skip the very boring battles and people stay hooked longer because they got their battle dose. I know you already finished this series but maybe for the next series of the modern total wars, still keep the good job with the rome 1 vids, those are great.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that formation attack is really useful, especially when defending. Those units fighting multiple enemies might have taken less damage had you not taken them off that. Not certain on this tho :p Great video btw! :D As someone said in one of the other videos, really liking new "have fun" Legend :p AND the new format :p (all dat edits :p)
i got so unlucky I didn't even to 30% Influence before Civil revolt happened to me, and its hard as fuck to gain Junia faction member now cuz it appears they upgraded the AI last november changing how the whole game plays out. The game wouldn't let me build mass Junia members, and for every Junia statesman that was available to get the game would say -5 senators along with it, that includes Raising Armies Generals as Junia. Also, I was trying so hard to NOT lose senators. the AI literally forces you to choose other family members. The version this guy is playing is different than mine, as Junia you are a Republic and there is no way to change it to a Monarchy where you can adopt other members of different factions. Even the Lay out in your political Window is different, they've removed so many Options. I'd like to know the Version he is playing? I play the Steam version with no mods.
11:00 just use own house generals for battle, im around turn 50 and have over 75% constant. and using lvl 1 for generating isnt bad either. a general will get 70 gravitas just sitting in rome his whole life.
You can get the same attack and defense bonuses just by training up your army with the warrior... save a couple of slots for more public order... food production... wealth etc {wink}
That was a bit of a bad battle. Hopefully he gets used to fighting again, didn't quite understand why he let his left flank get swamped while he just stood there with his men.
Perhaps it's intended that you start a war, level a general a bit, then when at peace (unlikely if you're Legend) you swap him out for an 18 year old or something so he can gain a few turns' influence
man I don't know how you make so much money, I am playing a similar campaign and I am conquering pretty much the same provinces, also playing in normal difficulty so I don't need to spend money on public order buildings. however I am getting about 7k per turn and here you are at the beginning of the video with 22k... how??? same for food, you have about 3x than I do
I'm at 40k per turn and i've only been playing since last week. 300 food is really easy to get there are certain cities in every faction that give 30+ food, upgrading your "Tech" in agriculture provides extra food, and allows upgrades to your farms, cattle also provide more food as well as fishing on your docks "looks like a fish". Industry building in every settlement mine, diamonds, coins are strong gold earners as well as denomination TECH. He's also turned up his tax rate and has set his edicts to Max tax, the more imperium you generate you get more edicts for the regions you control.
I disagree with this approach. First unify Italy, then go for Carthage / North Africa, than with Greece / Macedon and then South of Gaul and Hispania. Later go for Asia / Egypt then the Antioch.
...why do most people's that make TW vids about campaigns, even when they have enough gold to make Midas look poor, never or rarely use it to help people decide on shirt like trade deals. I know some just never say yes but most if you say, hey! We give you money and we offer an alliance then boom alliance. Can someone explain that to me...i just don't get it.
Connor Quarmby You have to realize that most of the time even if you gift money or whatever to the ai they'll betray you. I've played most of the total wars and I can think of maybe 5 times giving money to an ai for a deal was useful and didn't bite me in the but a few turns later. Also if you want to see it as do I give 2k for a trade agreement that might last or do I spend 2k on internal money making methods or troops.
Phelan Lawson I guess I'm lucky then? Not really a problem for me and I don't have a mod that changes that, if anything I'm the one that usually brakes the treaties XD

Early game the public order in conquered regions is a problem but late game with all the global bonuses it is just too easy to steamroll
Play with mods. Much more fun and more of a challenge

Just found out your channel and I really like your playstyle, very aggressiveness and very roman.
im loving this series legend! all honesty rome II has to be my favorite in the series so thank you for doing this one!
Legend of total Hastati Spam here.
I don't blame you though. If there was a unit in med 2 like that for auto resolve spam id do it too.
I enjoy the longer video format a lot more, it provides more good quality content :D nice job, keep it up
Hey Legend, I really enjoy these extra long episodes you've been creating, keep it up.
Maybe you should try to manually resolve battles between 20-75% of auto-resolve, that way you skip the very boring battles but we still get to see at least 2 battles per episode. You skip the very boring battles and people stay hooked longer because they got their battle dose.
I know you already finished this series but maybe for the next series of the modern total wars, still keep the good job with the rome 1 vids, those are great.
Leif Henriksen agreed
I really enjoy your new fun-based campaign co tents. the challenges were fun enough, but this is really cool. Keep up the good work. :)
who needs oda blitz when you have this lol
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that formation attack is really useful, especially when defending. Those units fighting multiple enemies might have taken less damage had you not taken them off that. Not certain on this tho :p
Great video btw! :D As someone said in one of the other videos, really liking new "have fun" Legend :p
AND the new format :p (all dat edits :p)
Formation attack is only useful when you are defending a choke point, and you have to stretch your lines thin and only having them 2, or 3 lines deep

Wow auto resolve is so broken in this game. just auto resolve everything and the ai never wants to fight in the open
Civil war this episode, yeet
A classic series
legend u are the best youtuber I ever seen since 2014 I see u play wrath of sparta was my favourite campaign
In my campaign I've taken most of current france and almost all of spain
What's france?
qwertyuiop he means gaul
You will have Auxilliary Noble Horse if you have a tier 4 Auxilliary barracks in Ankyra!
Not to mention Gallic Hunters, and gallic light horse!
Shame the game crashed, but I'm happy he's devoted to providing quality entertainment

I'm missing something here - how do you have so much food?
I think the gravitas adds influence if they are generals or statesman. Doesn't matter.
Side is pronounced as like you said. But not like Si:de, just Side. It's a county in Turkey
I was watching this in the background and heard this 14:19 and I got extremely confused for a second.
Just liked to say I'm loving the 60 fps.
11:00 just use own house generals for battle, im around turn 50 and have over 75% constant. and using lvl 1 for generating isnt bad either. a general will get 70 gravitas just sitting in rome his whole life.

that 140p vid better be a Minecraft series dammit then the quality wouldn't be fucked as much
Yes!
best game civil war soon looking forward to it
That was a bit of a bad battle. Hopefully he gets used to fighting again, didn't quite understand why he let his left flank get swamped while he just stood there with his men.
holy shit! 1 view!!! NEW NEW RECORD!!!
damn
I was like... the second before Jerec 12
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)3rd then
when i got here i was first comment but i didnt refresh
yeah, I saw it
Dunno why but im realy enjoying this series.Maybe rome 2 feels a lot better when u play it.
Perhaps it's intended that you start a war, level a general a bit, then when at peace (unlikely if you're Legend) you swap him out for an 18 year old or something so he can gain a few turns' influence
I would love to see a heavily modded campaign where legend just fucks around. No restrictions or goals more than for the lulz.
If Rome takes Cyprus, does Rome take control of the fleets stationed there?
Hey, do you use an external harddrive to back up your files?
I was hoping for a badass civil war so disapointing lol
Westeebs, Westeebs everywhere
Hey Legend, keep up the great work. Would you recommend Rome II or should I keep to Medieval II.and earlier?
But I love the early game battles :'(
If you provoke a party, and it was successful, is it also considered a civil war? Because there was no video of a civil war when it happened.
i cant even see anything properly below 480p
140p April fools day blitz XD

Rome Total War is better than Total War Rome 2 any day.
Sentenza1138 for real. No debate needed!!
You really need to try Rome 2 with the new DEI 1.2 mod.
Sentenza1138 I kindly disagree with you.
HOW DARE YOU!!! No problem it's ok.
The real solution is Europa Barbarorum 2 mod for Medieval 2
when is the next one????
I disagree with this approach. First unify Italy, then go for Carthage / North Africa, than with Greece / Macedon and then South of Gaul and Hispania. Later go for Asia / Egypt then the Antioch.
