Video Summary
AI GeneratedHadrian leads a Roman campaign in Civilization 6, focusing on the systematic conquest of Alexander's empire and the strategic expansion of his own. By balancing aggressive military sieges, such as the capture of Pella, with meticulous urban planning, faith production, and economic optimization, he ensures the long-term dominance and sustainability of the Roman Empire.
Hello Legion, this is Hadrian. Thank you for being here. Let's play some more Sid Meier's Civilization 6 in our glory of Rome series
So we are moving on Alexander's capital right now. He is capital of Skokji, which is just all kinds of wrong
That might have leveled the Spearmen up. Thanks for that guys. Yep level the Spearmen up. That's perfect
Now we can give them a promotion that'll help against melee units
And they have some archers here that these legions can hit do some damage
All I ask is a good ship and a star to steer her
So we are now we're in a very good position now as we enter this episode and let's see
Let's go ahead and hit these guys deal some damage. Definitely promote these Spearmen give them thrust
Extra combat strength versus melee units. It's gonna be very very important to have and then let's go ahead and move the
Various other units I have
Here into place. Let's move these archers up. We'll have these other legions come in to surround the city
Kind of from the side we just we'll need to be careful about Budapest there, but should be okay
All right, these archers might even get a promotion from killing this unit off. Let's see
Please get a promotion, please
Yeah, just shy of it. So one more combat and they'll be good. Oh this legion from this legion is promotable to very nice
I didn't notice that so we'll do that next turn
So that'll give them the ability to defend a little bit better against the ranged attacks
Let's go for currency so we can have more reasons to get gold
I do want engineering so I can have the bath district in the catapult
But right now I feel like we don't need it as much as we need the money
To ensure our economy stays strong
Meanwhile, we are building a bunch of farms in the area of medial on them
So many Alana is finally gonna start growing faster like some of our other cities
All right this builder
Yeah, why don't you come down here and improve those fish for Corrales?
Corrales is going to be quite the Roman city
It's already positioned to grow very quickly be a production and economic powerhouse
So I'm excited about that. We're gonna found that city there and there's some citrus. That's perfect actually
So let's go ahead and give that order
It's a bunch of mountains nearby so we'll be able to have some nice science and holy districts and such
Alright, so Arabia is scouting out this area
They might be thinking about settling around around here and there they might have some settlement south of Carthage
I don't see anything yet, but they might
All right, unsurprisingly
They tried to attack my legion. Oh
Crap, I did a lot more damage than I thought it would. Oh
All right, we're gonna have to back them off
Whoo, I'm glad they lived that was close
Okay, Alexander is getting more and more desperate. He realizes what's happening
Sure
so Gilgabro
Wants some of our
Wine he's giving us gold per turn for it, so we'll take it and our gold income should now be above 10 again perfect
All right, so we definitely need to swap these guys
All right, let's give these guys support us
So you can defend themselves a little bit better Pola can't quite purchase anything with faith just yet
But we'll be able to soon ish. Let's go into a granary there so we can grow faster speaking of growing faster
Let's go ahead and yeah, we actually do want the city to literally grow faster. So food focus for you
Let's make sure all of our cities are in good focus at the moment
Masali is not but again, there's not much of a difference being made right now given the tiles that it owns
Rome is on food focus, which is where I want it Corrales should be on food focus. Yeah, there we go
Yeah, you need to improve those fish
That city is just gonna be amazing
Let's move you down here and move you out. So that unit's gonna take a little bit of damage as well, but that's fine
We're gonna heal that archer up in Praga and leave them there. That's a good defensive measure
I've got some truffles down here, too
So there's actually a couple spots we need to colonize along the south and that's best part of our territory
We need to take anyway for our victory objective
So we'll try and get another settler down there pretty soon
We can't build it in Rome though, because we need Rome to hit 10 population so we can build the entertainment district
It'll suck not to get the Coliseum. I
Always get mad when someone beats me to it on this map
Okay, so he has cannons now. We definitely need to take him out
But we'll be able to pretty soon because these legions will be able to do a ton of damage to the walls
I'm surprised he has cannons early. It is 1500 BC. I
That allows
The player to you know
Make the calendar sync up much better with the ages of history and such because right now no such thing exists, and it's very frustrating
All right, let's go ahead and get some additional experience for these guys
Let's finish off that warrior with this legion
Finish off those archers with this spearman and that way I can move these legions in
So this is gonna be a pretty staggering defeat here for this legion matter of fact
I'm gonna wait until we can attack with more units at once because right now
They're gonna be able to do a good amount of damage to me next turn
So I'm gonna have them fortify so they can take a little bit more heat
We haven't really needed another spearman yet have we I
Guess I'll train one more just to be safe. It'll pop up up there, but
Just put the batting around to sleep don't need to do anything
Move you there, so you can't get fired on again, and what do you have?
That's right. I'm still exploring so we can use that unit to explore for a good while
Let's get our Scout back out
Excellence corollas is now growing
even faster
All right, that was our last charge with that builder though, so
Need to keep building builders. There's still plenty more tiles that I can improve in my territory
Okay, it's got a tyroid that just popped out
But the tyroid is gonna be right next to my this spearman unit here, so that's perfect placement to do some damage to him
Couldn't be more perfect
So that unit
So I'm gonna have to fortify them and hopefully they'll live
The spearman may actually be able to finish off the tyroid this turn. We'll see
Yeah, they're gonna do a lot of damage
You really chose the wrong unit to attack them you put your units right in the path of spearmen in their cavalry
Why would you do that?
That was a really dumb move just saying
All right now. I'm gonna hit the capital so they can't fire on me anymore
And it should fall next turn. I would imagine
I'd be shocked if it didn't
Now I can actually
Let's just see let's have this legion fortified because I want to see if I can get them to survive
I I think I'm gonna lose this legion
I don't know if there's a way around it. Let's have these guys fortify as well, so they heal up
But at least we're taking Alexander's capital. We are doing more damage to him than he is doing to us
You try oh shut up
Ostia has been founded is that the correct city name for that spot?
Not really this is more like
You know I'm looking at yeah, this is this is not Ostia. That's not right. This is Icosium
Done go ahead and purchase ancient walls, but I don't think I need to I'd rather go for
What is the granary gonna be ready 160?
Let's work on the monument and then buy the granary with faith there in a bit
Yeah, we'll keep you on food focus for now that city needs to grow
I'm gonna use this squadron to kind of see what Spain's up to because it doesn't seem like Spain is being all that expansive
Spain might be easy to conquer
Which is fine by me
Might be an easy target after I finish with
With Alexander and hopefully I won't lose too many units
Will they survive
Actually, they might know
They didn't get a promotion, but it looks like they might survive
yeah, they didn't fire with their archers for some strange reason and
Scope you can no longer scope cheese scope you Harvards pronounce can no longer fire on me
So let's go ahead and continue to attack with our archers
Let's move the Legion down a bit so they can
Feel be out of range of anything that can hurt them
Fortify the spearmen and then
This would be a major defeat if we attack this turn, so we need to wait a bit
But we're gonna wear down that city pretty quickly. I think we need to get it surrounded so it doesn't actually regain health bill
Don't have any horsemen yet
Encampment training great general points
holy side prayers
Yeah, let's do in camp a training give us some great general points if we can get a great general a little bit sooner that
Might be might be best all right Massalia definitely gonna build a harbor here put it right there
It'll be a plus three gold Harbor now that we have the option to build those
And remind me actually
They made some changes in last in the last patch to make harbors a lot more
Yeah, this adjacency
Yeah, plus one trade art capacity if the city does not yet have a commercial hub district
So yeah, that's that's one of the major changes. They made to make Harbor cities much more effective
So it doesn't stack with commercial hubs, but it definitely gives you additional trade route possibilities all right
And then I want you to come down here. We're gonna explore in that area and see what else we can find
By you I'm referring to to that quadrillion speaking to the units individually
I want you to do this and you do this and you go over here and you to conquer this Empire and such
Germans in a little bit of trouble now
Matter of fact if they continue to focus on that experiment I might lose him
It's unfortunate all right, so we just had a new
I'm pleased to see the great minds the world prefer our empire here screw you Russia
I'll make you regret that eventually
Money if it does not bring you happiness
Will at least help you be miserable in comfort does anyone else giggle every time that quote starts with Sean being just going money
Every time that just makes me laugh all right, so let's see if we can finish off these hits high Roy with our archers
As much as I want to keep hitting the capital
I want to make sure that we wear down any units that they put in the area that could do additional damage to me
Let's definitely get these guys in position and hopefully the archers will back off of it. I could hit
Yeah, I'd rather have them fortify. Yeah, we're in a bit of a dicey spot
I don't want to lose any units, but we might not have a choice
Let's see about getting
Now we need to get these archers into play to defend this line a little bit better
Horseback riding should be next yep. You don't have any horsemen units
Yes, we haven't really needed them, but we will soon as our territory expands. We need military units that can move rapidly
It's definitely build a shrine in Praga so we can produce additional faith
Same in Anna ponds, so it looks like both of our holy sites finished around the same time there and an additional envoy
Oh, this is perfect. So now look we've got four trade routes instead of one
So we're gonna be building some traders next turn and that's gonna change the game
Actually wait we need to go back is that you never know that could be an actual that could be a goodie hut there
Can't tell you how many times I've skipped going over a single pile like that and later found out that there is actually a goodie
Hut so just for the record. Oh interesting Greece actually has a religion going the deck of the honor
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun. Oh Alan so true all right, so let's let's see
Alan Watts was a amazing man, so let's see
I don't I don't really producing as many units, so I think I'd rather go for the holy side adjacency bonus thing right now because
Having additional faith from all of these holy sites. I've built is going to be so so helpful
So this is twenty six point two now, but give it a second to recalculate yep
37.6
Nice little 33% increase there or no. No that's actually more like a 50% increase nice all right, so
military training raid
Veteran see one on boy nice great person who great scientist
We're also closest to getting a great general
Omar Khayyam yeah, let's go ahead
Him your knowledge of education has advanced considerably very nice. I do need temples. That's for sure so let's go ahead and
Start building those and we have an additional envoy as well. Let's go ahead and put an envoy in with mohenjo-daro because
We need the additional culture in our capital. It's not gonna show this term. It'll show next turn
Okay, there's some gold not a goodie hut, but at least some gold so we know it's there
Yeah, let's swap these guys because I don't want to lose that spearman
And then I suppose we do need to surround the city
So I guess I should start moving these units down a little bit
There we go. We've got it surrounded
Just lowered his religious influence a bit
Alright, so now the city can't actually recover
Per turn it's gonna fall probably this episode. I would imagine
so we've got the Eureka for medieval fairs and
Astronomy and stirrups not bad having the Eureka for astronomy is never a bad thing ever
Having this quadrillion to scout the rest of this area is gonna be good
Can finally see more of Europe. Oh
crap
Yeah, I forgot we're in range of Bucharest now
He's getting pretty desperate. He knows he's in trouble, but nothing he can do about it really
Thing is his capital
Stop it, dude. I really couldn't care less what you think
The thing is his capital is not that much more powerful of a city compared to his other cities
So it's gonna be a bit of a slog taking all these and we might eventually get our catapults ready
So we can do a little bit more damage
all things considered
Fire with you this turn. I'm going to put this experiment in Pola for now. Oh
And we were gonna purchase I think here and I cozy and we were gonna purchase this granary with faith
that
This pattern ramp can just go to sleep and we need these legions to rest
we can hit the city pretty hard, but I want to make sure that
Actually probably need to get these guys in here
We'll do that next turn
We can hit the city pretty hard
But I want to make sure my you my legions don't get too weak in the process because then if another nearby Macedonian unit attacks
I could lose a unit. So I'm trying to be careful here
I want to make sure my units get promoted get stronger and just get trained up in general
You need to get through the lettuce waters, but the lettuce got a lot of units in the area
So it's gonna take a little bit of effort
I'm hoping to get a great general when this encampment training finishes
Whoo archers interesting
These guys need to fortify so they can take some hits. I'm not gonna move them back to Bucharest though
they'll promote in a second and
Next turn that should get a promotion of those archers fire again, so it would be okay
All right. So this point there's that
fire fire and
It would appear there are some additional hits. I right
That's actually not good. Don't really have units in place to defend against them
I'm just gonna keep these guys fortified and hope that they can take the hits
Can you move there? Yes, you can move there move there and then keep scouting perfect
It's good to finally be uncovering a little bit more. Yes. Spain has done. Nothing. They're not expanding. Not sure what's happening, but
maybe there's a an AI agenda that is um
Like they're not expansive or something like that
These guys are taking a pounding but the entire I did too. There's another hit I write in scope, you know
so and it's fully healed a
Man on a horse is spiritually as well as physically bigger than a man on foot
That's where the stable and we have the horseman
Let's go ahead and just keep it keep you fortified and then we can fire on
This guy with the archer
No more damage can be done there
Good another promotion for that guy
Which should also happen for these other archers in a bit at least for this one
Let's move that spearmen there will eventually get the spearmen up close to where I can do a little bit more damage at those
That's high Roy come out
Okay, what do we got mathematics?
Let's go for engineering so we can get the catapults and the bath district how to be good for Rome because you know
It is kind of a Roman thing
Let's go for a temple so we can have a couple of cities that are producing more faith as well as giving us access
to Apostles
Let's do in here too
Why not just start working on it because we're getting so much faith right now and we can
Improve our cities faster by building all these additional buildings
If we have more faith production, so it's good to go ahead and focus on that
Also, I think our religion has Jesuit Jesuit education, right? I went with that. So
yeah, it totally does for for library districts and
No, we're fine dude, we're gonna have more traders soon actually forgot I need to build more traders
Don't I only have one trade route set up?
It's fine that I'm doing the for the reasons. I just explained it's fine that I'm doing the temples first
But we definitely need more traders soon
All right, this archer needs to be given volley
This archer also needs to be given. Oh, yeah, definitely send the areas
nice
Alright, so I would imagine if we can get these guys healed up for another turn or two
We can probably just send them all into the city in the next turn or two and be good
In the next two or three turns rather let's do
What do you think? It's hard 63 faith. We're gonna be able to buy a watermelon out right there pretty soon
Yeah, just build another temple. Let's work towards building up just a ton of faith as rapidly as possible
Let's actually start scouting up in this area, too. Let's see what England's up to
Doesn't seem like they've expanded very far either
It's 1320 BC turn 135
Okay, we've got a tyroy that's moved up here
So we're gonna need to move this spearman out and do some damage also just to make sure he doesn't hurt my archers
Let's go ahead and fire on him a little bit here as much as I hate to use my archers on anything else
What are you doing guys other combat animations still loading one second?
There we go and pull it can fire too. So can you go ahead and finish them off?
No, but you can do some damage. So let's do that
I'm gonna protect my units to the best of my ability
And I can't pillage that trade route for some reason
That's not giving me the option but I can't pillage the the cattle if I wanted to I'm not going to I want to try
And keep this city in good shape
So it can transfer into our control pretty seamlessly
Let's have this guy four to five
Minor defeat we can probably hit scoping next turn. I think
Just trying to be careful about my units
maybe a little bit too careful, but
Aha, look who we have down here. No, wait, that's actually that's Arabia. So where's Egypt?
I know from what people were telling me in the comments a few episodes back that Egypt is in the game
There's a there's some rumors that I missed
Because again, I don't find that system is presented very well at all. Ah
Big surprise they're attacking the archers with their Hittite riot in town
It's just got a little bit more experience though. So no problem with me
He's definitely trying hard to keep me from taking the city. I gotta give him credit
This unit actually got the die
Good another archer promotable
That's actually three level three archers that we have now, which is great
It will make taking the rest of this pretty straightforward
Yeah, let's do garrison just in case it's needed
Let's finish off that
apostle
Switch places there
Yeah, I'm gonna start hitting the city because we need we need to do some damage to the city given that he's doing a good
Enough job keeping my legions from healing. We're going to use this legion to attack
fortified
So that's gonna do a lot of damage once we have catapults in the fray
That'll be a little better, too
So this capital is gonna take a while to fall, but I think the future cities will fall a little bit faster
Fortify you up can't fortify you just yet because we need to turn to pass but we'll get there
Yeah, where's Egypt? This is Arabia?
Egypt might have been conquered
So they have an additional
That's high road. It's just trained up in scoping. So they're they're trying hard
credit where credit is due and
That might get a promotion for that unit
Awesome. Oh
Crap, oh crap. I might lose that Spearman refused deal. Ah
Man, okay, they actually have finally produced an effective defense force. What took you so long, dude. I
Mean, I guess he does have other cities that he can produce unison
So I've been taking so long to take his capital that right good Spearman is promoted
Let's go ahead and give them additional combat training. It's cavalry because they are about to get charged
Meanwhile pulla can fire on these guys
These Spearman can come in that direction
How much health do they have left because I'd rather use my archers to fire on the capital and try and take it this turn
Yeah, let's do that. And then looks like I can fire on these guys, but they're pretty weak
Let's just hit the capital
Stalemate if I attack with these guys
Hmm. I want to get the weakest Legion into the capital so it's protected
So maybe if I hit
with this one
first
I'll be decisive victory as we go with that. Well crap
in that case
Hang on. Here's what we're gonna do instead. I'm gonna actually take I'm gonna hit these guys
Hopefully thieves won't be strong enough to finish off that Legion. I just want to get these guys a little bit further away from harm. I
Can't remember if pillaging pastures
Improves health the way the same way that pillaging farms does
Could have pillage that trade route there miss the opportunity
Yeah, let's go ahead and take the capital
So that didn't quite go according to plan. I was trying to get my units healed up
I wasn't expecting him to finally produce a viable defense force
I was comfortable with the fact that he hadn't managed to do that yet
Thebes may be able to fire on me there. I doubt that because there's hills
Okay, he's gonna be tough to beat
Because he's gonna have a lot of territory in Central Africa that probably no one has really competed with him for and yes
We're gonna keep the city. We're also going to rename it
well
That is the appropriate city name. I think for that area hang on. Let's let's have a quick look
No, but this is the capital of Macedonia. Let's let's set history straight. This isn't the correct location for Pella, but let's rename it to Pella
Because I agree with that suggestion from the comments
And then also we do need to looks like I can go ahead and purchase ancient walls with faith. Let's do that
so Pella is better defended and
So Wow
There's the Cathedral because of the religion of Pella was the Cathedral do there's yeah room for great works of religious art
Why don't we go ahead and just do a granary for now though?
Because I need that city to grow when it's in better shape
And in this trader, this is the one that was in end up on so I want to keep you trading there
trade with
Actually trade with Pella because that's gonna bring in a little bit more gold
Our temples are almost done so we'll be able to start building those additional trade routes that could not come soon enough
We really need that badly
Scout can stay there quadrille just scout out all right, so this is Ireland here
All right, so we control Pella. We need to hit Thebes next or maybe Bucharest or Budapest. I don't know
There's all these cities. We need to conquer
This Spearman could be in trouble. Yeah, he's gone damn. I knew we were gonna lose at least one unit there
That's a shame, but we're off to train up another one once we get the additional trade routes going
We'll have the income for it. No problem those who in quarrels insuppose must often wipe a bloody nose the progress towards divine, right?
Oh, so it's quarrels insuppose must often wipe a bloody nose
30% production towards in Canada stricts and buildings for that district, okay?
That's not bad, but I'd rather have conscription right now
Plus two gold from all trade routes could be better than one of these things
Honestly because we're about to have a bunch of trade routes
Let's not do it just yet because the trade routes aren't established, but I might want to move towards that later on
Let's do tortoise for that legion
for obvious reasons
Let's give you have a promotion as well. Let's do
Battle cry for you
Any other units promotable that are lying to me about it. No
But I do want you to fortify so you can hopefully
Be spared some damage. We need to move forward a little bit
Hmm. Yeah, I don't want to move that archer forward just yet because he could be in serious danger if I'm moving forward
I don't want to lose any of those level three archers if I can help it
Let's do defensive tactics next we can get the mausoleum at Halicarnassus and hopefully build it. We'll see
Yep, traitor and medial on him. Absolutely
Traitor in Massalia, we're gonna build those as soon as we can
Need a harbor before we can do a traitor in Corrales, let's go ahead and do that
Nice
Again, that's gonna be a hell of a city for us. Now. We have an additional envoy
Additional faith through our mock or our mog or however you pronounce it. So this would be
plus two faith in the capital and then the next stage would be plus three plus two faith in every holy side district and I
Have a lot of holy side districts
Their cities have full housing from water as if they were all next to her, but that's a nice suzerain bonus
Let's go ahead and go for
The faithful because it looks like they want us to train a legion as a quest and if we fulfill that what's the other quests?
Religious conversion send a traitor out to Valletta send a traitor out to Hattusa
so we can get another envoy with Valletta just by
Fulfilling that quest battering ranch and sleep
Legion can actually you know what?
Let's move them back to where they're protected
Is there one of our weakest units in the area?
Okay, so there's our mock
And they just want me to train a legion
I'll get an additional envoy with them
So I'll work on that in Rome actually Rome is about to get its 10th citizen
so we can before I do that, let's build the entertainment district so we can work towards the
Coliseum which will go there on top of those horses. It'll suck to lose the horses, but
Man, come on guys. Hold it together
Hold it together
Okay, he's willing to give me a good bit for open borders. I don't want to give him open borders though
No, sorry, man, that deal wasn't really useful to me. Not sure why you offered it. Tell you the truth
Okay progress towards civil service has advanced considerably let's go ahead and swap
places here
fire on these archers with those I
Can fire on just those guys right now, but that's enough for me
These guys there
So thankfully Thebes was not able to fire on me because of all that terrain difference
you guys will fortify up as will
Can't I don't want to move them in just yet. We'll have them stay fortified and yeah you fortify, too
Okay entertainment complex in Rome
You build it
Yeah, just put it right there. We've done in five turns
Production focus would still be five. So let's keep you on the food focus
So we can start moving towards that wonderful wonderful wonder
And definitely have that region heal up
Okay, so this is Russia's territory. I need to keep the scout going this way because again. We're not going to find goody-huts over here
Here the dark brown amorphous bustle, so we've got Giants causeway, so here's Glasgow
England doesn't look like they've expanded too far
Catholicism is extending its reach ooh and a pond is actually and Praga have been I'm gonna need to start an inquisition soon
We have temples now so we can train apostles probably need to do that so I can improve my religion as soon as possible
All right, he's willing to seed Pella, but I am NOT willing to make peace with him yet. I'm gonna conquer him
That's just gonna happen
We need to keep moving. It's already 1220 BC. We don't have a whole lot of time and turn 140 for that matter
Not playing with turn limits normal people believe nice if it ain't broke don't fix all right
So that's the bath district, which is unique to Rome and the catapult. That's handy. Let's go ahead and go for
Mmm. These are both tempting crossbowman. Yeah, let's do crossbowman next having an advanced. We're relying so much on our archers
I want to be able to improve them in whatever way that I can
Bath district would be nice, but before I do that
Let's train another traitor because we need to have we actually have five turret capacity now because our harbor finished
this spearmen
Definitely a lot of religious activity happening at the moment
Why can't that oh it's a hill and a forest so they can't move?
And these religious units are actually blocking me from doing anything about what's happening here, let's
Plunder that trade route get some gold from it, and let's see about that Apostle shall we
Yep, 300 faith, so that's our first Apostle, and we will improve our religion with that and we're actually getting a good amount of faith return
All right, so what about what are our trade routes right now and upon stapela?
Let's go ahead and out the harbors done in Corrales. Let's get this traitor down in Corrales first and
Then I guess we'll take I guess the next best city to take would be Budapest. I guess that's the right move
Let's go ahead and start moving in that direction
You guys can heal up for a little bit. You definitely need to heal up for a little bit as
Do you?
I'm not gonna have a use for this quadrim until we're ready to attack thieves
But I'll go ahead and move them back to Roman territory, so they're safe
Actually, let's use them to scout down here first
That's the smarter thing to do
Here's Iceland up here, and I'm going to let this turn cycle here, and then we'll
We'll see what Alexander does ah
Thieves finally counterattacks well, don't worry you should counterattacks. I'm about to burn you to the ground
They've got a holy site district in themes, but I don't care that city's gonna die. I won't run dizzy a man
Then we can build Athens there
We can we can they can be on top of stone so we can still have a city in the area just one tile
Further over all right this Apostle needs to evangelize Billy
I'll try not to forget about my other Apostle because I sometimes do
religion choose a belief
Stewardship would be pretty good science and gold because we're playing pretty wide
Plus plus one rule for a bit
That's now let's go for a stewardship because that's gonna give us a science bonus in addition to other things
So we have one more benefit we can get after that
Let's go for a lighthouse when you go through this turn really quickly, then I'll stop
Ancient walls and I cozy and would be nice, but we're not under threat there right now, so just go ahead and build a water mill
And keep on chugging repair the monument and Pella
So this guy's gonna take a little bit of a beating is to get in a position
But we need to we need to move on Bucharest. It just it needs to happen
Yeah, let's keep them fortified there on that road for now all right Corollas very good
I need yeah, Rome looks like the best trade route unless we wanted more gold
In which case we'd go with Pella
Yeah, check with Pella instead a little bit more gold. It's never a bad thing
Massalia I okay with you having a trade route you need to you need to grow pretty quickly
So maximum food in production, I'd say Rome is probably the best
Now you trade with Rome
Now we have three of our five trade routes set up
Okay, I'm gonna let this turn cycle, and then we'll see where we go from here in future episodes
Yes, please give my units more experience as I prepare to continue attacking your Empire. You're helping me Alexander. You are only helping me
He's being smart. He's trying to target the spearman where he can
and the archers
Spearman's actually needs a little bit of help
Should be able to finish this a tyroid from this attack. Oh wait not quite. Oh
Yep, there we go. I
Was wrong so that had Tyro units gone and that unit might level up
Perfect, so they are gonna try and send up additional unit up that road, which is what I was hoping they would do
You need some catapults. I think before we attack anything farther, but I've got some some gold to do that most likely
So let's see if we can purchase one in Pola
360 old so we're not quite there actually great person great general perfect
Medieval and Renaissance era land units, okay?
That's not gonna help us too much yet, but we can form a core out of a military land unit if we use else it
So we're gonna use that
We're definitely gonna use that where's our highest level legion?
You're about to become a core. Let's not actually transfer him to Pella
And then let's see what we can do all right. I've got to stop this one here. Let me do these promotions really quickly
Cry and I think that's it yeah, we're just gonna keep everyone else fortified
But yeah in the next one we're gonna give this level to legion
He's gonna become a core and that'll make it even easier to take the rest of Alexander's territory because we're gonna have a frickin core
In the classical era we're almost in the medieval era too, so we're gonna pay attention to
We're gonna keep focusing on Budapest we're gonna get Bucharest thieves in the next episode
I think we might even be able to get all three if we're lucky because I'm starting to spread out and get a little
Bit more maybe that's a little bit too ambitious to say, but I would like to try
And hit those as quickly as possible
And then we'll continue expanding in this direction once some of these other districts and specialty buildings are done
We're gonna be able to build the Coliseum in Rome pretty soon, too
So stay tuned for that because that'll be awesome. Thanks for watching if you enjoyed it
