Heir: "Ya know, I'm not sure if Rome and Syracuse ever historically went to war." Archimedes: "Am I a joke to you?" 😂

Somewhere in Elysium, Archimedes was lamenting the historical defeat of Syracuse, but cheering this defeat of Rome, albeit in a game, all while wooing like Ric Flair... Wooo!!!

RIP to the spear gladriatices, well done by the hippeus

Rome sacked Syracuse. "Do not disturb my circles!" is the famous quote.

There has been conflict between these factions, the siege of Syracuse!, famous for Archimedes' defenses

Yeah, and for many generations the Tyrant of Syracuse caused all sorts of political strife around the western Mediterranean. The city-state was never really strong enough to dominate all of Sicily but was constantly fighting with or against Rome and Carthage in an attempt to maintain control over nearby sea routes.

​@@howitzer551 for some time they were a force to be reckoned with but that was before the rise of rome mainly during the 5th and 4th century when Carthage was dominating a big part of Western Mediterranean

Those Praetorians fought like lions. Caesar himself would be proud. The Syracusan cavalry was just too much and they won mostly by weight of numbers in the end. Some Cohort units in place of Triari probably would have helped Rome win this battle. The Syracuse player did a good job supporting the infantry with the cavalry. Interesting and very close battle. Thanks to Heir for sharing it with us and thanks to both players for a fun battle.

Hey Heir! Thorax hoplites are quite good for their cost. They cost the exact same as Thorax swords but beat them pretty handily 1v1 when they charge each other, even if the thorax get a javie vollie off.

I think he was mixing them with the thureos hoplites which do actually suck

The frost… sometimes it makes the blade stick

great work by both teams!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing kind sir.

That was awesome😹😹

That's a good point! It would be great to have a general in a pretorian cavalry unit. The Legatus by itself is not good.

Naaah they Will Just end up backstabbing him for habit

First, damn, cool. Great battle. Would watch again 5/5

2:33 Heir your answer to why the General does not have a Praetorian 'Body Guard' lies in your preface of how backstabby they were?

They weren't always backstabbing, even the game explains the historical accounts of it being towards the later life of the Empire.

Hello heir, I have some cool replays I could send to you. A real roman brawl, a short but very intense 3v3, and so on.

Het @heirofcarthage do you ever play or cast Troy? I recently bought it, it's much fun!

One thing that bothers me is army's whete BC and AD units are mixed together. Also the two most historically powerful factions (Rome and Carthage) always seem to lose. Great reply however and thanks to Heir for posting these

for such an op faction rome loses alot, but at the same time i hate seeing rome win so i am tourn between the win rate of rome

Rome wins most of the time. They are really OP. They have everything in multiplayer except chariots and you can't go wrong with Rome. If a player lose as Rome ,then it's an absolute shameful display. Imagine using cheat code and still losing against the AI, that's basically the same as using Rome and a player still lose against other factions.
