Feels like I’m watching a well made documentary and excellent mix of the AE and Rome 2 footage

It could be a newsreel from the front.

If only words could describe how professional this looks.

This battle convinced me even more of the genious of Hannibal: with a much more tired army and most of his troops recruits, he was able to go so near to victory again. He was defeated only because his cavalry didnt follow the plan and allowed romans cavalry to come back from the chasing. But under tactical point of view, Hannibal outsmarted Scipio again: all Scipio lines were tired while Hannibal had 15 k veterans fresh for the final clash. His defeat isnt due to Scipio "genious" but rather luck and bad timing.

You’re wrong. Hannibal commanded the greatest strongest most experienced army at that time. Scipio however was only given the shamed and exiled survivors of Canae.. and raw recruits. Scipio was a genius.

@@RecoveringAhole no you have "studied" on garbage and I laugh for your lack of knowledge on the matter. Now, read carefully: only his third line were veterans of the italian war (33% were composed of foreign mercenary who werent trained by him on his tactics and the 33% were young recruits), he had elephants but untrained. Scipio had the veterans of Cannae who were trained soldiers and even trained them more in Sicily for a lot of time. The rest of his army where veterans of the war both in Spain and Africa. Where did you get those info? 😂 So in the end, Hannibal had more men but way more untrained. Plus more, if you stop being a fan you would notice that Scipio was tricked again, because none of his tactics played well in Zama. Without Lelius and Massinisa he would have been wiped out. This is something TONS of historians agree with.

@@gioilcreatore3547 I know all about the battle. Yet again.. Hannibal’s veteran army was the most experienced army at that time. Scipio had raw recruits. Sorry

New subscriber,job well done! One suggestion though, love the epic music throughout the vid,it only overwhelms your voice a bit,and we're here for the facts!

This video provided an incredibly detailed account of the Battle of Zama, surpassing any others I've seen. It offered a deeper understanding of the battle's intricacies, from strategic maneuvers to key figures involved. Overall, it was an enlightening experience that enhanced my appreciation for ancient warfare

Thank You so much!

What an amazing and transcendental experience, after the video was over I was still in awe of the incredible production quality ❤

Scipio was participating many battle against Hannibal with his father , now he knew all tactics what Hannibal always used to . I only Scipio this genius roman general , because Carthage was the block that Rome must exterminated .

This is such an amazing video 🔥🔥 keep it up bro.. you're gonna be very successful

Great video! Really liked it! Thanks!

I thought scipio spaced out his ranks so the elephants would walked right through and get attacked on both sides

Scipio knew how the animal instinct worked! The elephants would never charge on the Roman Walls if gaps are present and the velites luring them by running infront of the beasts can be compared to running in front of an angry dog charging at you, both the elephant and the dog will focus on the running object than anything stationary! We can however expect that some of the Romans in the lines may have shot a few of their javelins but it’s a question of army discipline! If Scipio had the lines ordered not to engage with the elephants they probably would not have engaged with them, considering the time they spent under Scipio’s lead! And multiple sources suggests that the Velites took the blunt of the Elephant charge and finally tacked the beading however incurring huge losses themselves ! Considering the social segregation of the time, Scipio would be more protective of the elite Romans! If the elephants can be lured away from the main lines then why waste the more elite Roman infantry, the Principes and Triarii ranks fighting the elephants?

Zama was the duel between the best generals of their era. With the exception of Alexander.

Would have been a bit better if the background music was turned down some. Had trouble understanding everything because of it.

Bro did you use unit size mod with the replay?

It’s interesting how apathetic rome was to Carthage. Many years later after Hannibal’s defeat. The politicians in rome decided to invade Carthage even though it was wrecked economically from Hannibal’s blunder and was struggling. Rome invaded and killed / enslaved everyone there and destroyed the capital and thus ended Carthage.

Pure revenge and politics!

Am absolutely excellent 👍

If the Romans didn't win I don't think Carthage would have fallen in the Third Punic War and history as we know it would have been much different. Both sides were fighting for their survival and the future of the world and history itself.

I don't think Carthage would had prevailed even if it ended Winning at Zama. In general in the 2nd Punic war if Hannibal was not there the Romans used to prevail. Simply Hannibal genius could not be everywhere. And Romans would probably simply avoid Hannibal and hit any other Carthaginian army led by any lesser officer.

Far far superior with all the camera angle shots mine is nothing

I still don’t understand how Hannibal and the Carthaginians won numerous battles in a row yet only lost the battle of zama n lost the war?

Certain factors come into play: 1. Loss of more experienced Carthaginian troops 2. Loss of allies 3. Inability of Hannibal to effectively use his military victories for political gains! 4. Internal political instability 5. Gradual decline of Carthaginian economy and military spending 6. Loss of good and trusted commanders in Hannibal’s Army 7. Romans have learnt from their mistakes and became more experienced than ever! With a thirst for revenge the Romans under Scipio gave all in! Ps. I call the Battle of Zama, the Waterloo of that era! Was Wellington much better than Napoleon- debatable, likewise Scipio had the favour of the Gods and it could have very easily been the other way round!

The music drowns out the narrative!! Thumbs down;!

Yes Sir, that was a mistake on my part, I made some changes just before rendering it one final time and it somehow ruined the narration with the loud music! I have however been more careful to not let this happen on my next video henceforth! So sorry for the inconvenience!
