Ahh Rome2 the game where poisoning provisions could wipe an entire stack in 3 turns. Good times.
Or Troy Total War :D
Attila: total war
(That I actually liked it a lot more of Rome 2 even if it was left half broken and unoptimised)
has factions that use poisonous arrows 🏹 as unique ability.
An it will poisons the whole unit, not the single hit model.
A youtuber tested with "controlled fire" and showed that 1 single poisonous arrow 🏹 can kill 34 men.
3 turns? No i used to have 2 spy's and reck everything and every one😂
didn't they revamp that right now? because when I installed it it just reduce the army's MS and you need to have a high lvl spy to have it do the poison thing but it's not that effective now
And thats why i mod out agents, because I want to fight.
You can get at least 80-90% upkeep reduction for mercenaries as carthage, without to much trouble and just have stacks of noble swords, cav and elephants, which is pretty fun
How? Id love to try this!
@@tyrsgothi8991one of the Carthage families has a reduction to mercenary armies. You have to search online to know which one though because CA updated the game but never changed the in game stats to reflect the change.
A 50 minute video of watching stakuyi crush barbarians? Yes please
The celts up in Scotland destroyed the Romans
He is doing God's wor.....Jupiter's work!

Don’t kid yourself, that will eventually happen

31:58 I remember one time my defending army was almost wiped out, but I managed to keep one unit of spearmen and used them to block an alley and then sent a unit of plebs in the other side. It was the only time I’d ever seen a unit of plebs finish with triple digit kills.
I tried that the other day. Had some hastati/legionaries holding an alley. The plebs were chilling so I had them hammer the back of the units engaged with the actual soldiers.
They broke real quick lol
@@wiseman46237 Oh yeah I was 100% expecting the plebs to break after the first hit and was just wanting to take down as many enemy as I could. I was blown away when they somehow managed to hold on long enough to break the final enemy unit instead and then mopped up the fleeing enemies.
@@wiseman46237…The plebs or the enemies?
@@fakjbf3129 cool story bro but that wouldn't work on any difficulty higher than easy
@@kairon5249 I believe it was normal difficulty, it’s been years but I don’t think I ever set the difficulty to easy. It definitely wasn’t hard difficulty.
I’m loving seeing you play total war, these games were my childhood I still remember bricking a family computer trying to get shogun 2 to run as a kid. Super exited to see you expand the horizons of the channel and to get to be here to support it, thanks for making these videos dude
I usually play as the Cornelii simply because of this lol. I love having armies mostly full of the auxilia units with a few legionnaires to soak up that damage.
Using foreign troops as human meat shields?. Bloody brilliant!!.
@@aetius7139 Using Auxiliary units as meat shields is actually kind of a bad idea unless it's the normal or easy AI. They are very specialized units simply because Romes core units are heavy and super heavy infantry. It's best to use Auxilia to complement the legions ability to sustain heavy damage or prolonged melee by either using light infantry to flank and attack the rear of the main line or harass the ranged units in the back keeping the AI and possibly players from knocking out your best units.
Basically, legionaries do the main fighting and then the auxilia harass and then pursue the routing enemy.
@@Mx12bi agree. I usually play on hard and tend to use auxilia to offset the deficiency of the Roman heavy infantry. So I'll have some Gallic heavy cavalry to fight off their cavalry or destroy siege weapons in their rear, a couple cretan archers to suppress their ranged units, and some Greek hoplites to either hold the center while the legionaries overcome the enemy flanks or defend the flanks from cavalry charges. Add a ballista or two to soften up their heavy hitters, and I'll usually win most battles with at most 2-3 hundred casualties. Of course i only give those armies to family members. Other faction characters I'll give regional armies for territory defense, mostly auxiliaries but with a few legionaries to stiffen them, and artillery to force enemies to attack. Autoresolve with those armies are usually defeats, but i manually fight those battles and can usually win even against superior troops. Makes it easy for me when they revolt. Cheesy but it works i guess.
@@Mx12b He was joking. Lol
@@aetius7139 Ah, yes. Spend the Irish.
what a fantastic game you picked so much replayability and cultures it's so fascinating cultures I never knew were real until I researched them, and also it is a good fun game to play not when it first came out we all know those days
Being rome is like: "I wanted to meet intresting and stimulating peoples of ancient culture.... and kill them or turn them into romans. Be it by sword or trade. Well get the job done"
Playing a campaign as the Man the myth the legend himself Pyrrhus of Eprius and retaking the land of Alexander would be a great campaign
I love a Pyrrhus game. I’m always racing to get as much done before Pyrrhus dies so he can see his ambition complete
@@zal7782just use 4 turns per year mod and have fun with your favourite historical commander.
In my playthrough, he died as a sacrifice to neptune. Tried to engage my fleet. So I sacrifice him and whole stack as offerings to neptune.
Take a drink every time stakuyi says simultaneously. Intense 🤣
Yes! Finally found your youtube. Enjoyed your tiktoks/insta stuff. Very excited to check your TW stuff
Started playing this game again recently so this upload is perfect!
17:58 I laughed out loud when they just went around your double army in a hurry there. Peak performance!
Stakuyi is just what I need on vacation
Love the breaking news bulletin, you should use those more Gabby.
I am all for these kinds of videos!! Thank you Stakuyi!!!
The Seleucids are the most broken nation in the Grand Campaign. They can gain so much momentum by demanding tons of gold for peace from enemies and rebelling satrapies that it's almost impossible for the other player to catch up in a multiplayer campaign. And even though the Roman land armies are stronger, it's possible to win the game through naval superiority by blockading the main Roman trade port.
I agree the auxiliary upkeep bonus makes the House of Cornelia 2nd or 3rd, though. Note that Antony has the same bonus in the Imperator Augustus campaign. Carthage is also a contender for #2 because they can just land a single general in enemy territory and instantly train a full stack of mercenaries.
Ah yes. Building an entire army of Auxiliaries.
It's not like that ever went bad for Rome.
this is exactly what i needed! i am really enjoying Rome 2 with the Divide Et Impera Mod rn, cannot recommend this mod enough
The first time I played rome 2, I saw the -50% upkeep from the Cornelii and went "wait that's broken" and played as them... good times
hey man if you havent heard of it there is an amazing mod for rome 2 called divide et impera that adds a lot of depth into the game including supply lines and army reforms like the roman marian reform. it does make the game harder but it adds hundreds of new units and ive sunk another 1000 hours into rome 2 thanks to it.
YES!!!! Please make so many more of these

"Tell the Principes to loose their javelins!"
"But sir, we'll hit our own men!"
"We'll also hit theirs."
I always enjoy seeing different strategy games
I love your videogame taste. Keep up the good work. 👍
19:04 Elephants on legendary vs those spearmen would've been hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Nothing more satisfying than when diplomacy breaks down and your campaign just completely devolves into “they now all must die”
Socrates, the grand tinker of Athens, said to Ion, the Homer reciter."All good poets, epic as well as lyric, compose their beautiful poems not by art, but because they are inspired and possessed by a Muse or God."
Wow I wasn't expecting Stakuyi to come to Rome
Bro I swear every game I buy, the next week all of the people I watch play it, has happened with Rome 2, M&B bannerlord, Empire at war, etc
The funny thing is I do this exact same thing in shogun 2 with the chosokabe and just a mix of Ashigaru archers and whatever the basic polearm is.
Love that you are doing total war as well! Warhammer please!
I didn’t know I need more Rome 2 from Stakuyi
I believe the spiffing brit did this a couple of years ago. he managed to reduce one unit to 2 gold per turn.
Need more Rome 2 content from you please
Can't wait to see more Total war gameplay and a to z
total war empire and napoleon are the best imo. you should give those a try
Total War: Rome II is my favorite TW game by far. I bought all the DLC like 5 years ago when I was 17 and was playing since 15
Also I definitely LOVED playing as Egypt
My man pulled out the good old Russian strat of just throw more men at the lines
Stakuyi a cool idea you could try is do multiplayer total war battles against subscribers
stakuyi: "We'll just be spamming armies."
Well, that is pretty accurate to Punic Wars Rome....
You can stop rebellions by other families by making sure they’re happy with you. You can tell where they are in the family screen. The side bar on the left displays the other families’ members. Next to them should be a number that indicates happiness with your family. Doing actions like “secure promotion” or doing missions like diplomacy raises their disposition. You can completely remove the chance of any rebellions by making sure the other families like you.
I missed how you can stop rebellions
@@trollmastermike52845 basically if I you check the politics screen there’s a number that indicates their happiness. When sufficiently negative there is a chance they rebel.
@@ianperry8557and…… how do you keep them happy because they always get pissed some point which is annoying so I just use the no succession mod
Could you imagine how fun it would be to watch him play Napoleon total war?
I wouldn't mind seeing Stakuyi play Civ 6: there are definitely enough fun challenges to do there, even if the game is not as complex as Hoi4.
have you ever played Rome II with Devide et Impera? would love to see some video's on that
Can i just say i love the new channel icon
Total war now nice!!! keep it up man!
Never seen this game, looks fun!
I started playing again, I played as Bactria and I’m almost made it to Egypt and modern day turkey.
lol I’ve been following you on Instagram for a year wondering what you did for a living, and now I discover you here lol
If you want a bit more from Rome 2, the Divide et Impera mod is fantastic for it.
I know that it's not quite your pace but I still say that you should do some Total War Warhammer 3! I'm sure that the insane mix of skaven, greenskins, chaos, etc would be very much up your alley.
Ahh stakuyi And total war my best Dream
Oh, oh my, my, my, I now has a plan for my next Campaign!!!
That may or may not be my exact House of Rome I play in the multiplayer because my friends aren't as experienced in history as me so they don't know all the tactics that Roman employed so I use my game style to mostly protect them however if I don't want to be super powerful my backup is usually Sparta....why? because hoplite phalanx
Nice, I'd like to try this
i remember spiffing doing the same thing in a video
ill be waiting for the warhammer total war games :D
I've never played more Tham 50 turns as rome, I like the challenge not day one expecting them all to fall to me
You should play divide eat impera I have so much fun using that mod
Stak is finally coming home to Rome
Will you make a total war video on rome 1/medieval 2/napoleon?
Hey, Stakuyi, have you considered playing Rome in EUIV's MEIOU & Taxes 3.0 mod?
How about Civilization 3?
you gotta try DEI mod for rome 2. improves the game thousand times over.
"Keep these units together in a death stack." Ah yes, the Roman Method.
This is so much cheese you could make a Deep Dish pizza with it.
Would you consider playing the Alexander the great campaign from Total War Rome Remastered on the channel?
Ya should try divide et impera and ya will see quite some nice results
Episode 14 of asking Stakuyi to play Equestria at War as Equestria with “Twilight Theory” turned on in custom game rules.
just curious if your now covering other games do you think would would wanna try games like total war warhammer? as you have alot of diverse factions in that series, maybe even try some good scifi strat games like endless space stellaris, sins of a solar empire or galatic civ series.
I'd love to see you play as the Iceni and have the Britons take Rome instead of the other way around.
nice video!
Nobody talks about barbarian bonuses for fight, it is insane.
I know I'm currently doing a run with Athens. Currently made a superpower with Sparta and Egypt. Not sure if that could happen with a run for you. But it's currently fun for me so maybe give it a go for yourself.
that auxiliary tactic is the closest thing i´ve seen to a Zerg rush attack ever 🤷♀🤷♀
You should play some of the mods for medieval 2 like tsardom
I'd love to see a Himyarite campaign in Attila.
Make yourself a Jewish Caliphate and conquer the Ummayad lands at their height.
He needs to try this on the radius mod as that greatly increased the garrison size of everything
Prefer DEI, dont get me wrong. Radious is a good mod. But DEI done it better. Shame DEI cant work with other mods due to tweaks in morale system and unit stamina. But its just soo good. Flanking now really does hurt. Even a sh!!ty unit can really f-ed up your elite units if it gets behind you.
Played this game with DEI that much that I just can’t play vanilla anymore
yeah vannila sucks
Stak you should try the great war mod for Napoleon total war
Hi Stakuyi! If you think it'd be worth it, I think a playthrough of the Youjo Senki Redux mod in HoI4 would be fun to see. =^x^=
44:02 Must be the most polite (very british of you) and hilarious way to rudely ask someone to scram xD
Someone's been watching "spiffingbrit"
did this one but with doom stack of hastatis. never lost a single fight
They also have -50% upkeep of mercenaries.
Baktria's probably my favourite faction: Hellenic, but with good skirmishers. All round combined arms fun, with a mighty sledgehammer in Indian War Elephants.
So I suggest them.
You know what's more fun Romans with guns :>
Total war warhammer 3 would be fun to watch you play!
If your willing to play something other then a historical TW then might I suggest warhammer 3? Play kislev and get full stacks of polar bears with people riding them with gaint halberds/spears and go kill some people or demons :D! However if you are going to play more rome 2 then I might suggest playing macedon and recreating alexanders empire? God I miss those spear walls and just watching the AI run into them so much :P
you need to play the divide et empera mod for rome 2
Rome 2 is one of my most favourite TW games, good choice of making video of it :D
However... Rome as a faction is that OP? I much prefer factions with more versatile unit roster. Rome has only good heavy infantry + cavalry, I like archers and other skirmishers ( maybe too much lol)
u are the legend
Ayyyyyy lets gooooo this game and HOI4 are my favorite strategy games
this would be even more broken if a centurion was used to upgrade the units to gold 3 before conquest
Would love to see you play Warhammer total war !?
You should try DEI for rome 2 it's hardcore but fun
yeah I would like a rome 2 gameplay.
I always play bactria own half the left side of the world in 150 turns or so
More Millenium Dawn Stakuyi
Pretty please 🥺
Ok love the video but i can't help but notice that Tuscany and the etruscans are done so wrong omg i mean the River goes the wrong way and the cities that they pick are not even the biggest in their territory, i would love to play the game if not for that
The day is ours!
