When was the last time a game was considered so great that a two TV shows used it to talk about history?

@johnmcaree7298

I love how the contestants truly embraced Rome with the in- fighting, bitterness, egotism, and grudges that probably are still being held now.

@tinnedtuna8242

The same 4 mistakes get made in almost every episode.

1. An overly complex battle plan with too many elements
2. Failure to present a solid battle line
3. Underestimating the difficulty of manoeuvring mid-battle
4.  Overreacting to enemy movements

It's like von Clausewitz said - "War is simple, but in war the simplest things become very difficult"

@TheTerrainTutor

I love this programme for so many different reasons, and this playlist has both series on it. That's me sorted till the middle of March :oD

'And you can't turn around quickly when you're carrying a 21 foot pike.' You've clearly never played Rome Total War mate.

@charlesw5919

THIS battle showcases the resiliency and combat effectiveness of veteran Roman legions. Even with the most incompetent command, command incompetent enough to have them facing the wrong way in the middle of a battle, they still have a chance to prevail.

@mnkyball

Just found out about this show, I wish would've know about it back in the day. Great concept, well edited, great informational value, just all round interesting and engaging. Gonna watch the rest of the series!

I saluted the horse trainer. Normally horses refuse to run into a wall of pointy objects.

@MightyJo2

is this show basically an average adult playing total war?

@Hobbyrepubliken

That general guy really destroyed his captains initiative.

@benfryett8228

As a total war player,  this is torture to watch

@yalezhang8831

Stopping a cavalry charge in front of archers @11:20 is the worst blunder I saw. Had they not stopped, the cavalry would've mowed them down like grass! Cavalry attacking pikeman is also suicidal but they did achieve surprise by attacking from the rear.

@Joker-yw9hl

TIME COMMANDERS + ROME 2 TOTAL WAR = YES PLEASE

@marshall886

 Craig doesn't  have a clue. He can see the screens, what is his problem? He is a distraction, the other girl  is just watching passively as if it she is watching telly.
 He has not done us guys proud.

@Lawliet2494

The technician on the right is having a battle of his own...,

@georgemorley1029

Shamefur dispray!

@Heligoland360

I came here from Lindeybeige

@napoleoncomplex2712

The captains did a brilliant job, and the basic strategy; to focus on one flank and destroy it before the other forms up, was solid. They failed to support their cavalry properly, but that's a common rookie mistake. Not a bad action by the team here.

@xxmush5362

I can play Total War and get flirted with? Where do I sign up for the new series!

@commonwombl

No wonder British politics is in the state it's in....
