BATTLE OF ALESIA - Legendary Difficulty - Historical Battle for Rome 2

Ойындар

Historical battle of Alesia for Rome 2 on Legendary Difficulty. Played on the final patch for Rome 2 with no modifications.
These battles are not fought to be historically correct, but rather to win at any cost. Most of the Rome 2 battles have become insanely difficult on Legendary difficulty as of the final patches.

    It must have been difficult for Caesar considering he was stuck in first person cinematic view the whole time. Couldn't see his cursor to give proper commands. And don't get me started on his problem with pathfinding. Then again, there's a reason he was top of the leaderboard in 44 BC. (Fucking Brutus and his hacking!)

    he didnt have to defend arbitrary victory points, he got to deploy how he wanted before the battle, his enemies didn't get legendary buffs, in fact his enemies were less effective and less disciplined than his legions, and the entire thing was fought around the entire fort not just one area. this isnt to say it wasnt incredible what he did, just that the game doesn't mean anything with regards to real historical events.

  • @odinsgoat6189

    You could argue that the arbitrary victory point was the entire fortification. And the historical sources say Caesar had an army of around 54,000 and the gauls had around 300,000. Now before you all pull your PhD's in keyboard warrior out, I know historical sources cant always be trusted. So from CA's perspective I can understand the logic behind having to defend certain points in the fort, it was to try and emulate the massive disadvantage Caesar faced, but I agree it isn't the most historically accurate battle.

You can not really say who is the best general. Hell, even Caesar suffered a defeat( not crushing) at Gergovia, in 53 B.C if I am not wrong( correct me if I am).

I hate this system, not only because I suck at cheesing the AI to your level.

    The victory point makes sense. Ceasar had to keep the people inside encircled. If he had abandoned a section of his wall Vercengetorix could have escaped alessia. And then the war would have gone on for several more years. So ceasar had to keep him in and the others out. In reality he lost control over a segment for a short while, but managed to recapture it with some hundred men.

    Thanks to this video I managed to beat it on Normal difficulty. Lost like 1300 soldiers. There are main 3 key points to achieve victory. These points are: block Vercingetorix forces with one unit while bombarding them, kill all gallic missile units using cavalry as soon as you can, keep your own missile units alive till the end and properly use them. Remember to shoot gallic missile units when they are far from you and use heavy shots to inflict maximum losses on the gallic infantry when they get too close.

    10:02 it is interesting, but in one of my tries, this went so well (sending a legionary unit up to the gate, and bombarding them when Vercingetorix attacks) in normal difficulty, that almost nobody reached my wooden wall from the top! yep. only around 200 men in 5 or 6 units. and this number was so low, that actually they didn't want to attack my fences (which - what i've found out - actually triggering the next wave), so the last wave did not come!:D i conquered the third victory point which was great, but nothing happened, so with holding all the 3 victory points, and having around 70 % of my troops after 3 waves, i lost...

The victory point is positioned in the gate...wich makes sense if there trying to get the people inside the fort out theyd whant the gates. Ik ur saying the victory point is unfair from the point of view that your not give enohgh troops but thats a diffrent point. Historicly the vp makes sense

    A patch released after this made it so you can't apparently. It also made a lot of the tactics Legend uses here obsolete: for one, archers in the first tier will start shooting the legionaries you send up to bottleneck the gate, and the enemy will send spears to counter your cav, making it difficult to hit their missile units.

    Also the problem is that by the time you start to get some results you're already so frustrated with the game that you start to commit irrational mistakes.
