Total War: Attila - Greek Fire beach assault!

Turns out Greek fire ships can shoot at land units... those crafty Byzantines!

They have Greek fire... RUN TOWARDS THE SHIPS!

[DaredeviIGR]

I read somewhere that once Constantinople was saved from an invasion of 1000 ships due to 4 (maybe not 4 but 100% less than 20) ships containing greek fire (υγρον πυρ) while the autocrator was away on a campaign . Fact is that the ships moved towards the enemy formation unharmed since the Russian (if i recall correctly) commander saw them as fishing ships . When they got close, almost all the ships were caught on the fire and the invasion army was forced to retreat to a beach in the near area . When the autocrator came back, he attacked the remaining invaders and in the end their commander's head was decorating the gates of Constantinople .

The greek fire was the most well kept secret of the Byzantines . The recipe is still unknown . It is said that water could not stop it and the only way it could stop burning flesh/wood/etc was either till the substance burnt out completely or (that is not certain) from piss or sand

Yer lordship, I have an idea

What is that Thomson?

Well, ya know how we stand on the shore and run into these here flamethrowers?

Yes...

Mayhaps let's not do that, and instead stand a few feet back?

Thomson, that's the worst idea I've ever heard. You are standing in the front line next battle.

*sigh*. Aye lordship

Lets gather around the campfire
And sing our campfire song
Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong
But it'll help if you just sing along

Patrick:
Pam Pam Pam...

SpongeBob:
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you dont think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong
But it'll help if you just sing along

C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
Patrick!

Patrick:
Song! C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E...

SpongeBob:
Squidward good
It'll help
It'll help
If you just sing along!
O Yea!!

[knstantinost.]

Who is planning to come to greece for vacation this summer? Make sure you go to the bitch! Take some sun cream it is really hot!

[barbiquearea]

Can somebody make a mod where we can get land based Greek fire throwers, like the ones in Medieval II Kingdoms?

[majorearl]

I wouldve loved to see as units got broken and shattered the soldiers splitting from their units and running for their lives with weapons left on the ground and guys walking on fire screaming. Imagine how personal and dramatic that would be.

[Kodomeat]

this video type is super cool, intrested to see what you do with this next. 

[raymondbenjamins]

Good job on this! You should do more of this kind of videos. It looks really cool and I almost prefer them over the regular online battles. Almost.

[ninhkhang]

Watching this while listening to Whatever you like sung by Anya Marina. somehow it feels like everything fits.
