This game was such a huge step from the first medival and shogun games, total war has never stepped that high between games again, and probably never will, that's why this game will always be very special to total war players.

Typical legend.
"Erm, i will use mostly military to be more historical accurate".
5 minutes later : "Horse sandwich motherf*cker".

Wait you can hand over retinue to other generals?! I've been playing this game for 12 years and I never knew this? What?! WHAT?!?!?!

I'm enjoying this series so far. Thanks for the entertainment.

You know you're too used to Rome 2 when he says "The gates are open, but that's not great for stone walls" and all you can think is why it matters because autoresolve seems to ignore walls

Looking forward to this let's play, good to see you playing for fun instead of proving a point. May I also suggest for an additional challenge, use the cheat codes to get a couple hundred thousand denari and then gift that to the other roman factions to increase there expansion speed for an epic map wide civil war

A tip for using pikes aggressively: run them into position about 4-5 feet from the enemy and click "phalanx" or whatever it is while they're still running. They will immediately stop and throw down pikes, which (if you're really close) will knock back enemies for a quick stun. As long as you have them in a fairly good rectangle (no crazy maneuvering, trees, rocks. etc. in the way) with not too many stragglers in the back, it works very well.
Pikes are legitimately they best units in the game.
Technique is called "phalanx charge" and I think Heir talked about it way back when, but I used to use it for all my Greek, Seleucid, even German playthroughs.

Yes love rome total war and this campaign has always been the most difficult of the roman families to try and do. can't wait to see how legend does it. and love the idea of these 90 minute episodes

[danielbalderrama]

Well, nice to see that you got back to rome total war. I like your campaigns. I classify you as the campaign expert and prince of macedon as the multiplayer expert.

I’ve been listening to this in the background of me playing through the Scipii for the 5th time this month. RTW is truly addicting, especially when you haven had a computer in 3 weeks.

[WurstWasser]

Nice to see this game still being played

[tomwors]

3 years later, watching campaign for first time. Enjoying the content and format, no idea what you have done since.

[dunadan]

FUCK YEAH! I don't think there ever was an actual full Scipii campaign on YouTube. Not a legitimately good one anyway, which is a shame, because Scipii campaign is the most challenging out of all the Roman campaigns and IMO the most fun out of all of them(especially if you let other factions build up).

[burntbread]

There was a ad for a yt channel that was a full 11 minutes long. I watch'd it all for you legend <3 and it was bad that ad was so fucking bad

[stefanmusikic]

I am shitting my pants out of joy! RTW was my first grand strategy game, and I loved it! my first game I played as the scipii and I loved it so much, I named my steam account the blue legion. im so excited for this playthrough!

[geordieny]

I love the first battle when your men were being pushed backwards by the charge and push of the general. It's so cool. Something that's still missing from modern TW games. It's such a nice detail.

[sean]

Rome total war campaign? Fuck yeh! Great to see you heading back to total war titles that you enjoy, much more pleasurable to watch. Can't wait for the huge civil war.

[jasonmccarley]

I have probably played 1500 hours of this game, and had no idea you could drag retinues to another general. Blown away.

[davidmcmanamy]

Brings back memories my friend, I bought thios game the day it was released and played the Scipii my 1st game! Wish I could give you ten thumbs up!
PS- I still play the original TW:Shogun to this day, and still have my hard copy of it on CD. God only knows how many hours I have in that one. lol
