NO NEW VIDEOS UNTIL MARCH, READ BELOW FOR WHY

So the latest Shadowplay update completely fucked up the program, and although I've managed to fix it, anything recorded post-update and pre-fix is either highly fragmented or broken. Unfortunately I didn't realise the problem until I recorded 200+ files covering more than 30 turns, which I can't replay/re-record without restarting the whole campaign because legendary difficulty. I'm still making a part 3 covering that part of the campaign, but it's going to take a lot of extra work and time to try and piece together something coherent. I'm also going to Europe for a 2-month-long holiday (starting this evening!) and I won't be able to work on it again until I get back.

I was hoping to have another "How to play..." video finished before I left on holiday, but I also lost some of that footage to the same bug, so it's only about 80% done. So sorry for the content drought, but I'll have something to post pretty soon after I get back. Expect the next upload to be in early March.

Here's the fix I used for the Shadowplay bug, in case you're having the same issues:

Beats entire 3000 men army with 200 militia.
RTW2: *phyrric victory*

[joshuasnow]

Roman soldier: sir they have us surrounded

Roman commander with strange name: good, we don’t need to aim

[bipedleek]

Barbarians: We’ve got you surrounded!


Wre: All I’m surrounded by is fear and dead men

[bullettime]

If a commander actually managed to win battles like these back in they day, they would have ascended into the realm of myth. One victory is a miracle. The rest just show that maybe western rome is God's chosen people.

[MagicBiber]

I think we can all agree on granting this beautiful madman a few triumphs, right?

[Fitzkrieg]

Scout Equites were what saved Rome and her territories in my WRE Legend campaign. Well done.

[yungsouichi]

The air was filled with smoke & memes.

[Identitools]

I came, i saw, i pushed the like button

[HUNTERKILLER]

lmao, "welcome to the limit" and the army is 80% Limitanei xDDD

[nonameguy]

Barbarians: they have just 3 units guarding the city this will be easy pickings

WR : laughs in barricade

[Moorbote]

I knew clicking the bell was a good idea.

[CsStoker]

One of the things I want back the most is promoting remarkable officers from armies or garrisons into generals like the classic total war games, specially fighting so many garrison battles in Attila would have been an extremely welcome addition. I miss the classic historical total war games.

This is actually true
I experienced it several times
I commented long ago a tactic i used in my campaign in another video.
If u wanna win or have it easier, fight EVERY battle. Rome might be in crisis, but different to history itself, u r still capable of recruiting Good type of soldiers instead of barbarians and mercs. Rome's infantry has quality even though it is economically weak. Trust your pila and sword, the thoughness of cluster formations, deployables, your general, light cavalry to hit repeteadly and fire arrows. Different to other TW games and the difficulty of the many hard factions, in Attila, EVERY soldier u have is ESSENTIAL for the survival of the cities. Make your men stand close and hold the enemy push to encircle the barbarians and secure the income!
Roma Victor!
Once u have an actual army, and good quality of troops, u are basically unbeatable, as Roman infantry becomes professional and super adaptable

[kaydos]

So many great memories of legendary western Rome, so many, many, many battles over small cities, and the rebellions, oh the rebellions
watching your videos makes me want to do it all over again.

Virgin Herculiani Seniores vs the Chad Scout Equites

[abaddonabaddon]

I havent seen a cavalry that powerful since Mongols steamrolled my Rus infantry in Medieval II.


Yrridan is one truly blessed by the hand of almighty Tengri.

[saschazaaijer]

I came looking for pillaged copper, but found golden denarii

[Frenzi]

I’ve been in moments where I’ve been outnumbered 5 to 1 and still came out on top and it is always glorious. Total War is truly a gift from the gods of Rome

[Maksymilian]

The use of "Push It To The Limit" was masterfully done in this video. Great job :D
