You always find the most creative ways to introduce the viewer to new let's plays and I am here for it!
Yes, I love to see the enthusiasm here! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series

@SorcererDave For the record, I greatly enjoy your slower style. I, too, am a history buff, so I enjoy the context you provide as well.
Small tip: when recruiting agents like spies and champions, you can view their stats before you buy them by mousing over the little gold emblem at the top right corner of their unit card. So excited for this let's play!
Oh my golly. Signed up immediately especially for the historical waffle and the considered pace. Have to say though, that was the scrappiest battle I've seen in a while. Maybe keep it simple. Line 'em up and move 'em straight ahead.
To be fair, Gauls running everywhere miht keep AI disorganised too. I haven't played Rome2 for few years, but sending scout cav slightly to the left used to make whole enemy formation run in circles until exhaustion in every TW game.
This was a great beginning, gladly looking forward to more.
Insanely good intro as always, I should expect it at this point but you always surpass expectations with them.
I really want this series daily. You've got yourself a loyal subscriber. I hope this series is long and you can do more series like this.
Been absorbing Total War since you put out the community question for which game to play.
Very excited for this!
I have been thinking of trying out this mod for years, but never got around to it. Your slow method of doing this will probably help in my decision making in that regard ^_^ Also I like a slow playthrough over a stressful elite experience any day! Looking forward to this one.
Bravo! You're such a talented storyteller, Dave.
After the abortive Rome: Remastered Carthaginian campaign, I thought that was it for
fun and interesting Total War empire building, and yet here we are. Nicely done!
Remember you can always ambush and bait with a smaller army further down the road.
Ai does get some minor economy cheats, but it’s mostly due to the AI getting bigger sum of cash at the start (to prevent them from being too passive). The downside is that they do not have a strategy for saving money so they will keep recruiting until they’re nearly bankrupt. This is less of an issue with larger factions, but smaller ones simply don’t have much else to spend on, so can pretty easily get 1-1,5 stacks if they get enough time.
I really enjoy your slow and thoughtful playstyle and all the history is extremely interesting to me. I had no idea there were Gauls in modern day Turkey. :)
I don't know if you read your comments section but I'd just like to tell you that you're honestly the most interesting, insightful and engaging total war channel I've come across. Blending your love of total war and the history of the period into an entertaining video. Awesome stuff.
What the old narrative Series of officially devin
To be fair to the family if the cousin is the Scipio I think it is he’s going to do a lot of cool things.
Great start! I love the history focus, role play, and storytelling. One small piece of advice though, there several moments during the battle where I felt you could have easily routed their ranged units with your cavalry, and then quickly turned around and charged their spearmen in the flank. Instead I felt like the enemy skirmishers were for the most part ignored and thus lead to more casualties and morale penalties for you
Oh boy, more Total War!
Im so fucking stoked for this. The Gauls were really the Normans of their time, migrating far and wide and making contact with every major culture in the vaste reach of the Mediterranean. While I'm more of a Persiaboo like our narrator, I greatly look forward to your foray into this Total War campaign.
I completely agree. I’m so sad we don’t have more information on the Gauls/Celts, imma enjoy this Gaulic fantasy while it lasts
@@keyboard997 here is that information you may be looking for ruclips.net/video/uOaStDDogDY/видео.html.
@@keyboard997 The Greeks and Persians allied with us and killed all the inhabitants of this people
Cool, always loved their history.
The Apostle Saint Paul (who was from Tarsus in Asia Minor) indeed wrote a Letter to the Galatians. Apparently they still had a bit of a reputation for Celtic/ barbarian thickheadedness. St Paul wrote in one famous verse “You stupid Galatians! Who has bewitched you?”
The Gauls called themselves Celtae; Julius Caesar called them Galli (hence Gauls, or in Asia Minor, Galatoi).
oh goodie!
So glad total war is back
me: oh hey I should check this series out, I'm in the mood for some RTS tomfoolery
Dave: *pulls up with one of his amazing custom intros*
me: oh, or I could get lost in the story and drama I guess
I think this is going to be something special!
Just started on these really enjoy the slower pase of it great content
Glad I found your channel
Yes, that certainly COULD have turned into a horrible defeat... But it didn't so we thank the gods and celebrate for now...
Two kings enter, one king leaves
So right about watching a flawed play though. I actually like to watch longplays where there are stakes and the player may lose! Crazy I know.
When rome 2 was released i did play galacia but i never, thought about politics what faction likes the other faction. Maybe thats why ai defeated me😅
This series is going to be tutorial to me, how you play rome 2🙂
Great mod. My favourite. But I have no courage to play Galatians :D
this is brilliant
HEY GREAT VIDEO
Love your voice dude. You need to do some audio book recordings.
Also, does this playthrough postpones the continuation of your Empire at War campaign?
What the hell you NEED to write a book NOW
hello, could you please say, what pc you have and what settings you used? Thanks a lot
Dave: “Let’s build some warrior lodges in our capital”
Me: *sweats nervously and has flashbacks to the Horus Heresy*
Im sure Horus wont do anything extreme and will always be loyal to the emperor
as long as there isnt a Fucking Erebus around it will be fine.@@animationfanatic2133
I really appreciate all the historical commentary and info, the slower pace is not a problem. Can't wait to see where this new series goes. Thanks for all the work you're putting into this!
Yo Same, I really hope we see more of this!
Found your channel via the Fall of the Republic series, and I love your narrative style. Also wholeheartedly support playing to role as opposed to efficiency, more fun that way. Keep it up!
How fort assoults work in this one? Would sneaking second army into their camp cause autowin? Enemy had movement left, so they would just retreat to the town without loses and brave warrior would be shot to pieces taking the square, but would it put them on timer?
I really enjoy the historical tidbits you litter throughout the video! Do you have any recommendations for reading on the Gallatians or this region durinf the period?
The Ancient Celts (Second Edition) by Professor Barry Cunliffe is the main source of most of my knowledge about the Galatians and the celts more generally. It's a good starting point that is fairly up to date.
Two questions:
A) What do you need to own to run your modset?
B) Is it worth getting them during the (at the time of writing) Steam Sale?
Wow, that was a messy battle... TBF, the moment I saw the enemy sally out of their fort I knew you were in a tough spot but still...
Pitty you couldn't get more close-up shots, but still, pretty interesting start for a playthrough. I do love the way you make a story for the game.
Also: I do love the immage of the soldiers, battered and bruised, returning home drunk of victory and the commander assuring them it was all planned all along and everybody believes it just because everyone thinks this couldn't have been won if there was no plan, but honestly, no soldier can actually explain the plan when asked about it...
Hey a DEI lets play right on, Galatia is a wild thunderdome experience! Good luck, looking forward to it!
Loving this series, thank you! You've actually got me back into playing this again with DEI.
Rome II was always one of my favorite CA games. The political/diplomatic systems were one of the better ones for their genre. I just wish the Family and character portions were just a tad deeper, and not so randomized. Even with their later additions of options, I feel like they were poorly thought out and really unnecessary, and they were just a worse version of what Crusader Kings established.
But, I'm just nit picking at this point.
Please keep this going! You are an amazing content creator. Thank you again.
This gotta be one of my favourite sorcererdave let's play, the historical info makes it so interesting
Yes! I love the way he mixes his knowledge with RP and fiction, it’s like watching a documentary
43:36 Dave I love your content explicitly because of your narrative choice. Never apologies for making your content interesting. Have a good day if/when you read this!
Dave this is the best rts/total war lets play I've seen in a long while. No power plays no speed running. Just fun in the name of narrative, historical accuracy and the rule of cool.
feel like I'm being given an ancient history lesson by some mad history professor.
Hey Dave, I'm really excited for this playthrough! Have you ever considered fighting the battle off camera and then recording the playback of the battle? It would allow us to see more action but I understand if that would be too much of an editing headache.
I'm going to try and take advantage of the "save replay" feature in future to help with this
Oh true I thought about that, that’d definitely help with the narrative side of things
Galacians are one of my favorite peoples of Antiquity. Their tale basically reads as RTW migration campaign: uproot your entire faction and move across half the known world to fight new enemies, rule new lands and get all of the denarii.
They let Caesar slaughter and enslave their people, and preferred to migrate to the Middle East and Greece
Good stuff bro, I definitely like your taking a slower more intricate approach to gameplay. It makes the battles feel for important and personal. Hope to see a lot more👍
So remember you can use the small army to put the city under siege. Then it won’t be able to reinforce the field army
and many times reinforce the attack on the fortified stack. If they retreat but still can reinforce the town, then you have a straight main v main open field battle which if you win they get wiped
Personally i would have liked you play as one of the Germanic tribes but hey not gonna complain.
Always loved your approach to games, Dave. While sometimes it differs to my own, the pacing is perfect. You have personable and constructive thoughts throughout as a bonus. Good stuff, mate 👍
I mean the Galatians did kind of break Gallic traditions when they occupied Ancyra. The conquest of Mazaca isn't exactly that weird with that in mind.
Historical total war is what brought me to your channel in the first place with the Romano British campaign waaaay back in the day
Absolutely loved this. I clicked on the video title saying 'who?' in relation to the faction choice, and by the end of it was totally invested in the story that's forming and the Marco Polo style narrator. Can't wait for more!
I'm really hyped for this series, and that intro was fantastic.
Mhm agreed
33:43 The negotiations were, in fact, not short, though they certainly felt aggressive
Ooh Very interesting ill enjoy this Dave, good luck with the campaign
Just stumbled on your channel and loving it. I recommend that you also try to take over Egypt like they actually tried to do.
You hear that music, and suddenly, you're back in 160 bc
I'm all for historical addendums in this series, even if it doubles the length of the video.
Yes! I absolutely love the RP focused way you play! I’m totally going to check out more of your content
Time to get snug in a blanket with a hot drink and enjoy 2 hours of Dave and Gaulic Claudius.
I have only 10% vision , so i really enjoy the slow and steady, immersive let's play. thanks tons
My first video of yours I have ever seen, I look forward to watching the rest of your stuff. I Absolutely love your knowledge and style.
Love to see more total war on this channel. Always liked watching videos like these. Tried to play it myself for the first time, but the game makes me anxious with its real time battles. That and my ADHD can’t keep up with managing units.
Great cinematic RP moments mixed with the historical immersion, looking forward to the rest of the Galatian's journey
I did really enjoy this, you Just made urself another follower:) Nice to hear the history about these lesser known factions :D keep it up:)
Being outnumber two to one just means more glory and loot
I love everything about this. DeI stands as a pinnacle of total war to me. It encourages players to play as history did and it's fantastic. Also FYI, the buffs/debuffs for "senate" control are dependent on government type. The Rome default debuffs for tyranny are actually specific to the Republic government type, which favors political diversity. Government types such as Oligarchy, Kingdom, and Chiefdom go in the other direction and favor influential control. All factions can change their government type with money and meeting certain criteria, the options available are faction dependent. One of the many things that make me love how just a little tweaking adds amazing depth to the game.
Honestly would love you to do just a history series or even start your own podcast. It's fun to hear you gush over this early history (a topic I love as well, but rarely get the time to delve into)
I'm excited for this! Your narrations at the beginning of these are so hype
This type of slower gameplay is exactly what I was looking for. You've gained a new sub, keep it up
I love the way you play this game; it's pretty much how I would play it as well. No min-maxing and the like, just keeping things as realistic as possible in a game like this. I am so there for this let's play.
I'm glad someone else appreciates this game's Politics and Diplomacy. As always the narrative stuff is captivating and I can't wait for more!
Awesome start to a new series!
You could've offered to Pontos to join the war against Katpatuka, resulting in improving your relationship with Pontos.
You can also start promoting certain characters which will improve their stats such as culture income, taxes paid of army upkeep
This intro made me subscribe immediately. I don't even know how the rest of it went, just subbed after hearing of chad Lentulus. This is going to be a wild ride.
So pumped for this. Mostly commenting for the sake of "engagement" but I'm thrilled with the story you chose to tell!
1:44:05 - the man on the horse in the center of the screen stabs his enemy with an axe as if it was a sword. Love it.
That’s cus the axe is modelled on the sword via the divide mod
Great intro, the stage-fright excites me, since you're likely as enthusiastic about this as I am. Looking forward to what you'll do with it.
This is just the ticket; roleplay, history and a slower pace.
I'm very happy because I've finally found someone who creates content to revive things historically to have fun like myself, rather than someone who tries to doomstack and play to win fast from now on, I am a strict follower of these series
Holy crap that intro was phenomenal. I didn't know SorcererDave played Rome 2.
Bro plays some OLD games, but I respect it
Nice, this will be awesome!
Love it, keep up the good work. Definitely made my morning 👍👍👍
The slow paced deep historical info is great. Your passion for both storytelling and informing is what I think is so great about your channel
I thoroughly enjoyed it.....more please!
Leeeeet's Gooooo!
Loved this so much it finally drove me over the edge (along with the staggering 75% off on steam which helped among other things) to buy Rome 2! Really hope you crank these out fast cause I'm getting the feeling I'm gonna get latched onto this series quick, lmao. As always love the unique sort of narrative jive you got going at the start and am surprised more youtubers don't do that. Like you said in the video it'd be pretty funny if you said the battle advisor guy is the same as Lentulus and would fit the immersion pretty good.
Nice to see a new Total War LP from you Dave. Love the narrative aspects you add to your work.
“where Constantinople is… was”
kinda funny, but “will be” might be more appropriate given the time period.
The introduction to this is some of your best work, Dave. GG.
The rest ain't too shabby either.
This was an awesome watch i can't wait for episode 2
man i played the orignal Rome Total war back before steam was a thing and logged probably hundreds of hours during my high school days, hearing some my favorite music in the background around 38:00 mins in makes me soooo nostalgic i may have to go play some... thanks for the great storyline and and as always fascinating tangents
I love that army is named "The Doompigs"
Those troops deserve a feast! What a fight
