because words are hard

For all future video's: It is "Prinkipes" in classical Latin. In general the Latin grapheme ⟨c⟩ is the Latin phone [k], which is always pronounced hard as k in sky, never soft as in cellar, cello, or social. ⟨k⟩ is a letter coming from Greek, but seldom written as such and generally replaced by c. Triarii for example would be pronounced with 3 times the same i-sound of ea in easy. Not Triari-eye.

However no one is really 100% sure about this? And the language has been used / changed over 1000+ years. In the beginning no one even wrote down much spelling rules. So it doesn't really matter how you pronounce it because I can be correct ? Does this makes sense?

@PeGaiarsa

@@rubenheymans1988 yeah, I think it makes sense. I think most of the "correct" pronunciation of dead languages derives from the pronunciation of the child languages. For instance: "CH" in Italian always has a "K" sound. It's not irrational to argue that a "C" in Latin would sound like a "CH" in Italian, since Italian basically derived fully from Latin.

@@rubenheymans1988 Of course 100% sure no one will ever be, but there is a lot of evidence that suggests it was actually spoken as I summed up, amongst probably the elite, since there were many dialects as well. After extensive research a consensus has been reached among historians and classici that this is the most likely way it was/is pronouced and so is also taught to students when reading and speaking classical Latin. So there is a general rulebook, since many things are derivable (Isolated communities and dialects for example give good indication, like on Sicily they speak Italian with pronounciation much closer to classical Latin). Check out the Netflix series Barbarians. The classical Latin there is excellent.

Apollo I love your stuff. Could you do a Rome 2 Campaign one day plz?

Good job playing with the romans; the easy way to know if you use well Rome faction, is when the numbers of kills you make is bigger than a hundred kills, no matter how cheap or expensive are the roman units you used, because they have one of the best armys in game.

20:48 -Rome in Carthage, it’s always a good sight. Me - A pretty flattened sight more like

Beautiful battle! Really found myself learning new tactics with this content, its made rome 2 even more enjoyable. Good stuff man

Awesome to see Epirus doing work. I think its rare to see somebody use them so well.

dang apollo your the mvp of the whole matchup ur a excellent player, teammate, and general and i love the fact that you used the romans to victory

This has been one of the better videos you have out out Apollo. This was more informative and entertaining by far!

I am so glad you explained your chooses during this battle as a new player to Rome 2 and having very little experience with Total War games in general thank so much Apollo

That was a clean battle. Good stuff Apollo.. love ya

This was very entertaining, great commentary!

Apollo: Words are hard Also Apollo: doing commentary

I remember seeing this battle live, was really great.

Best game for siege battles gotta say, and Apollo playing rome as he said in stream he did pretty good too.

Good vid man

I noticed a few things about the defenders that might have contributed to Apollo doing so well: Carthage is a new player (he was mostly using fire ammo), Seleucid played passive against Arverni (which led to him being crushed), Sparta didnt help his allies until about 1/3 of the way through the battle, and Macedon got double teamed.

@Adamdidit

3 жыл бұрын

I think Sparta was trying to avoid getting doubled early because the Selucid passivity allowed two faction to hot multiple Spartan forces.

”the p boys“ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So happy he added a higher definition for his videos

I do like how, this, is how the Romans actually did things. Hastati run in, get stuck in with Gusto, do damage, absorb the ammo, all that stuff. Then the Principes smash in and carry the day against the tired and already battered enemies

My firat total war game i got today i was inspired to get it because of you. Thank you its awesome. It may not be rome 2 but i the first rome but its still fun!

Apollo will you make this a series? i would like that

Goodjob apollo i love all of your videos

The hastati that routed at 10:00 were ordered by their officer to run along the walls as punishment haha, 13:20 and theyre still running along it

Apollo doesn't state he's the greatest, but his followers do. He gives credit to his teammates. Plus a lot of videos of TW, show players losing with Rome. This was a cool video of basic use with the faction, and how to keep the initiative in tactics

I really liked how you commanded your hastati centuries.

I was waiting for a siege battle where Apollo controlls the attacking force. My prayers have been heard!

I really enjoyed this siege for some reason. Couldn't take my eyes off it the whole time!

I am but a humble subscriber knight and have been loyal to you for years my lord and it is my honest opinion that you should be more popular than you are keep up the great content!

Fakes right, goes left and charge straight into the wall. Job well done cav 😆

It was great I totally enjoyed it

Ngl this battle was pretty cool, it was pretty fair because u have barbarians and rome which is great at attacking and the defenders are also good factions like sparta etc

MATN studied classics and says prinkipes. Honestly, everyone knows who you're talking about. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Great video!

What a coincidence that you play rome 2 total because I just finished installing it

When you have watched so many Apollo videos “Words are hard” slips into your common vocabulary...

Hi, nice video!

Crushing victory. With a huge reserve remaining too. That's how you attack!

Looking at the thumbnail, all I could think of was that moment in the siege of carthage cinematic trailer: Take those walls! AHHH-

another great video

I like how actually play them as if your are a general on the battle field

Well u can take one siege engine and go straight for the centre or capture point instead of fighting head on and it got some advantage doing so like they can have flank opportunity, cavalry infiltration and bringing enemy attention

Few ideas that popped into my head while watching this video! Be good if you could merge units mid battle. Would make for some interesting gameplay if you could betray and turn on allies mid battle! Especially in campaign. I also want to be able to sling in dead bodies and stuff into a settlement to make the enemies sick, like you sling dead cows in Stronghold, haha!

I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but simply standing your Hastati near an enemy unit will have them firing their pila without the need to micro-manage charge orders.

When Sparta is in you side:This is Sparta. But,if on enemy side: meh! Sparta.

its actually weird because even when I first began playing, I always loved being the Selucid Dynasty or Macedonia! I honestly don't like being rome! Selucids have an intensely varied force. My favourite is the Horse Cataphracts. Anyways great video Good job Apollo!

I'd have to disagree. Yes Rome doesn't have the best cavalry unit in the game but it has two very good spear units, Triarii and Auxiliaries, some of the best archers, and that classic medium to heavy infantry that stack bodies like cord wood. While I do see the appeal of Macedonia and the other Greeks, Rome is where it's at to me

On the principes question. Both pronunciations can work. The hark k-like sound is probably closer to classical Latin used in the period. The soft c would be vulgar Latin (mediaeval). Classicists will also pronounce Cicero like "Kikero," or Tacitus "Takitus" for the same reason.

charge the thorax swords with switched off formation attack, put on shield wall after engaging and they will beat the legionaries easily

the pronunciation of principes varies based on how you pronounce your latin in general, the sound of C in latin has changed throughout the years-- if you go by classical latin then it's always a hard c (this even applies to ch which is always pronounced like the ch in chemistry in classical latin), but in ecclesiastical latin it's quite different! basically, your pronunciation of it as "prinkipes" is the correct way to say it in classical latin i think
