Let´s Play "Glory of Rome Remastered" - Kart Hadast 03

Episode 3 of my Let's Play for the Carthaginian Empire. And, yeah, last time we tried to capture Hiro, the king of the Syracusians. And this time we finally are able to meet him in battle. Yeah, nice picture here. Alright, so let's see. He's not the best general or politician. Alright, let's use night battle. Yeah, why not. Anibas Gizko is my commander-in-chief here. So let's join the battle. I pause for a moment. And here we are. Alright, Anibas. I want to give you better weather. Yeah, that's it. Oh, second line of command. My stars. Great moon. Alright. Epic. Okay, so we have a nice line here. Perfect. And my skirmisher line. Yeah, Slinger is behind. Okay, general. Cavalry. Yeah, perfect. And my elephants. Alright. So let's group everyone. And start. Not me. So let's bring army a little bit closer. Just take a look here. Yeah, skirmishers. Counter my elephants. Lot of archers. Hoplites. Peltasts. Alright, he's starting already. Yeah, he's focusing my elephants. Loose formation. I think elephants go this way. The rest of you. He doesn't have that much. Yeah, I could go and do this. Elephants. Yeah, you can shoot now. Cavalry. Go for these. Peltasts. All of you. Forward here. Start. Elephants. General, join the mortars. Okay. Infantry line here. The hoplites. Standing strong. Bring up some elite. This is here. Looser, but I don't want to be fooled. One of you. Yes. General is dead. Alright. Cavalry can focus. The rest needs to be killed here. The king dead. There's no chance here for them any longer. They cannot stand here. Infantry. Infantry hard here. Yeah, so we... Annihilated. One of you. Catch as much as possible. Archers. Alright. Let's beat things up a bit. Skirmishes. They are cheering. Orders completed. Alright. Slingers. You can shoot them. If you like. Where is he? Alright. So... Yeah, let's... End the battle here. One unit. Spaniards. Make a volley. Okay. Alright. Okay. So... What do we have here? Perfect kill. And... The winner... Are the Roundhill Cavalry. And for Infantry... My Sacrament Cavalry? No. Iberian. Oh, Iberian Infantry. Close combat. Alright. And Sacred Band. Close by. But... Those are... Cavalrymen. Yeah. Two. Okay. Nice. I always like checking... The results and... Giving... The golden sword or... Kind of reward to the best Infantry and Cavalry unit. Medieval 2 has a little bit... Better stats in this way. Because they... Differentiate between... Prisoners and... Killed. Yeah, sadly... Rome... Doesn't have the... Prisoner... Function. So this is all mixed up... In one. But, nevertheless... Totally interesting for me. Because... Yeah, I... Like stats. And... Like playing with them. Alright. I will... Wait here a bit. Yeah, sometimes... Loading... Isn't the best. But we can read. To lead untrained people to war... Is to throw them away. True. Perfect. So, let's head... To Syracuse. Armies... Perfect. Strong and... Yeah, but I need... A lot of siege equipment here. Yeah, the advantage is... This garrison is depleted. And there is no... Other... Reinforcing army. Okay. Faction leader... You... Can... Do a little practice here. Let's go for... The units... We are up against... Oh. Right. So... Let's save here. Ah, no. Siege. Yeah. Do a little practice. I just want to... Make the elephants... Do the job. Here we are. Let's start. Perfect weather. Elephants go in front. Right. Move. Yeah. Barbarians. Okay. So let's charge. Ah, dammit. Oh. This was... Not the best. Infantry. I need... To be a little bit more careful. So... I think I will go... Gonna disband those. Oh. They reformed. This... Was underwhelming. Lights and... They are wavering. Ground shield cavalry. Let's... Cycle charge here. Yeah, and we've won. Yeah, the charge... Cavalry charge is... Hammer and anvil. It's one of the best shocking elements here. Even against... Stronger... Spearmen. Right. And my elephant. I'm sorry, but... I will disband this unit here. They are looking great, by the way. The Twosome is... A ram. But in Sicily. Yeah. Settlements with walled... With wooden walls. Somewhat limited. Okay. Yeah, ground shield. Lost a bit. Okay. Iberians did quite well. Alright. So... Victory! Yeah. How much? 280. Alright. Goodbye. Yeah. Back here. Save us a little bit money. And... It's daylight again. Okay, my... Yeah, my... Ships can go... To Lilibeum. You are sieging. Alright, next turn. We storm the city. And... What's about... Lama? Can I move here? Yeah, I should... Go south... For a moment. Or I could use this army... To go north. On the other hand... I'm not sure. Let's merge. Yeah, you... Can merge. Go this way. 9%. Okay. Yeah, I need... A small force here. Just in case. Yeah, you can go... You can go this way. Alright. You stay in the capital. Same as you. Yeah, we've got a little... Ragtag force here. Alright. That's perfect. And let's... Get you... In there. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So we have... Some forces available. I can... Check out this house. I think here... Yeah, we could try to... Match a little rebel settlement here. To secure my... Finances. Alright, let's quickly check our settlements. Corduba. Normal with 70. It's okay. The rest is... In good shape here. Alright. Safe. The dust. And let's check my... Units here. Alright. Let's buy... The... Southern Italy. Take a look. You can... Check this area for me. Yeah. Alright. Nothing. We can talk to one again. Let's check this one. I think I'm... Alive. Alright. Yeah, I see my lines and everything. Doesn't mean much, but... Let's see. Yeah, go and talk to them. That's safe again. And... The next... Turn. I think turn... 4 or something. Anniversaire. You will... Become one of my... Leading generals here. Wow. 2000 negative... Yeah, but with... Syracuse... This will be fixed. Also with... The other... Rebel areas here. I think I can manage to... Get some money. Build up my... Provinces and secure... Some more... Areas. Yeah. Try to build... More watchtowers and everything and... Let's see... Who will come... And knock on my door. Here's some gold. Yeah, I need to build mines at some point. But first I need some money. I should go for trade rights first. Okay. No, I don't want... Anyone at the moment. Town expense. Okay, Cordoba. Right. Mauritania. They're spying on me. Spying. Yeah. Do the same. Counter intelligence. Great one. Alright. Get the armies. Allies. Okay. This way. Also... Allies. Alright. Pretty peaceful here. At least for now. You. Check. Yeah, Tarentum is still... Epirote. The Romans... Gathering troops here and... Maybe go for... Grumentum. Nice. Okay. Perfect spot here. Alright. Yeah. But first, yeah, move... This army south. Ah, perfect.

Okay. And... Storm. A settlement. Night battle. Nice. Hm. They... Have no doubts. On winning. Alright. Let's go for... Some... Yeah. Towers on the right. Two. Don't want to use my ram at the moment. Storm the walls. Yeah, those are... Very heavy walls. But he has no garrison... To fortify them. Peasants. Alright. They are moving. Okay. So. Seems safe. Go back to the... City center. Nice building. Citizens are sleeping. Okay. One unit in the center. Ploids. Alright. And the other... Ploids. Alright. Ploids are... In the streets. Nice. Yeah, so speed things up a bit. Towers are shooting. Yeah, this is my... Need force here. So let's see. Peasants. Yeah. So there are some losses already. Maybe the towers. Okay. Hm. Not sure. Yeah. Those are... Okay.
