My channel's main focus is on self improvement, bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, culture, gaming, books, politics etc.
I was actually invited by Warrior of Sparta and Rambler to participate in our three-way battle where I'm obviously representing good old Macedon and Alexander the Great.
Warrior of Sparta is, as the name suggests, the Spartans and the Rambler is Rome trying to defend Rome against the vengeful Hellenic factions that are coming to subdue the upstart.
So this was actually the first time I did anything like this, so it was a great learning experience for me.
And obviously they have their channels in the description.
If you're into gaming, I suggest you subscribe to them.
They also have a campaign they do together, which is one is the Western Roman Empire and the other is the Eastern Roman Empire when they sit in Skype and have a good bit of banter and they just play Atila.
So I can really recommend that.
And I also included like two minutes before we actually begin the recording so you can see, because I was quite confused as what goes on before you put on the recording when you make collabs such as this, because this yeah, this was the first time I made a collab of this of this sort, so I hope you enjoyed that bit as well and I hope you enjoyed the video.
I try to make my best to perform in the battlefield and and still, you know, be an interactive.
So, and who am I?
The proud son of Macadon Exox.
So yeah, do be photoshopped.
Yeah, absolutely yeah I've uh, I've spent a good amount of time there as well in the last last months actually yeah, including today, for your Western Roman Empire one yeah yeah, all right okay, I just need a minute.
Yeah, Rambler's just gonna defend the city.
I like this colour match a lot.
I prefer this time of day.
It's more brighter.
I like this.
This is uh, this is good.
I prefer this time that we were fighting before.
Actually, it's nice with with a bit of sun.
Also in other lights mostly grim and dark.
Like yeah, I think the improvement.
When they brought the Emperor Edition out of this game, they improved the lighting on it and the shading a little bit.
It was all enhanced a bit, so this is why this is how it looks now.
Okay cool, it looks very better.
I'll be but a moment, just want to make sure I can respond to any threat threads from the Hellas, certainly.
Oh shit, don't want to do that.
GODS OF Olympus charge, oh brilliant yeah okay, I'm just gonna start in three two one right okay, are you good Marcus, are you recording now I?
I am all set and I am right, I am recording.
I am now on as well, so let me know when you're ready and I shall start the introduction.
Introduction, I am ready.
Good.
Gloria to Macadon.
Okay, right.
Here we go.
And you are a good Rambler.
So.
Always.
Always.
Always good.
Right.
So, three, two, one.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this Clash of Titans.
This has been 2,000 years in the making, and we are here back with Rome 2 for this Battle of Nations with myself, Warrior Sparta, playing as the heroes of Sparta.
My good friend, Alex Rambler, as a defending Romans in the city of Rome.
Hello.
And today, we have a very special guest with us, the Golden One, playing as the proud sons of Macadon.
Greetings, you proud sons of Macadon.
I get to shout this the entire game here.
You will, you will.
So, yes, we're here with the golden one today.
Basically, if you don't know who he is, check out his channel link in the description.
He has a really great diverse channel where he covers Let's Play to Total War, Room 2 and Attila.
You think you do some Skyrim as well?
You've got some blood.
Yeah, I did that.
I did actually do some Skyrim and a bit of everything, I suppose, some book advice and some nutrition, bodybuilding.
Yeah, a bit of what I fancy.
It's a very diverse channel.
It's a very diverse channel because I say this guy's got the physique of Zeus.
Basically, if you look, if you check out his channel, he's got the physique of Zeus.
Thank you very much, Michael.
It's awesome, but that's humbling to hear it.
It's humbling, yeah.
But of course, if you don't know who Rambler is, which I'm sure you do, check out Mr. Rambler's channel as well.
He loves Total War.
He's very good with his mod videos.
And he's just a great guy.
So check out Rambler.
Let's try and picture it.
And it's good banter, also.
It's good banter.
Banter.
Banter.
Everyone has a bit of banter.
So, today we have this setup, as I said to you before.
Rambler is playing as a Romans.
He's defending the great city of Rome.
The hellas we here, Macadon and Sparta.
I'm playing as Sparta, of course.
We are fighting and trying to invade the great city and try to push back the Romans from there.
Well, I'm number two to one, so I don't have that much hope.
Yeah.
To subdue the upstarts.
Like the old Hellenic world aren't looking all too kindly upon the new rise of Rome here.
So we're gonna end that.
End that.
Try to end that today.
Well, Rambler's go try and put up a good fight.
I'm sure you will try.
You've pushed me back to my capital.
Yes.
This is the final stand of the upstart.
Absolutely.
So here we go.
All right.
Glorious of Macadon.
There we go.
Right, moving in.
I'm moving in.
I don't know where Rambler stationed his troops.
I can see a couple.
You're already firing.
Are those your Cretans that already have that range?
Have they?
I don't know.
I swear something was firing at me.
I don't know.
Maybe it's.
I think.
Oh, they're on the towers.
They're firing.
What?
Oh, do they?
Do they actually?
Do you have firing towers?
I don't know.
Look at the golden ones.
Okay, it was my juicy towers that they actually happened.
I'm going to zoom into this now and show the gloriousness of it all.
It's a little ballista that I have up there.
That's really cool.
Glory.
How did that happen?
I don't know.
Realma's not enjoying this.
What's going on?
The enemy is attacking our ally.
Stand firm, warrior spot.
I will try.
I will try.
I will come to your aid.
Oh, it's attacking you as well now.
So, oh god.
Realma's got his flaming shot on.
Well, I don't think I'm even going to take down any towers, am I?
Well, you could.
I think it's a bit pointless.
You can try for the ladders.
Yeah.
I'd rather just kill your archers, though.
Oh, my God.
I think out of anything, they're the more.
Thing is, we're in a bit of a situation here.
We've got.
Because Rambler's sort of got his position, his Syrian archers on this wall here.
They're finding a cross throwing across down into you.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is exactly what I wanted to happen.
Although you're not really losing many of the minute, are you?
No.
Oh, come on.
Kill him.
My music was very low, actually.
I have to put my music back up a little bit.
Gotta have Rome 2.
You've got the music on for Rome 2.
Same here, actually.
I'm gonna do that right now.
Shake it so.
Actually, my best bit was probably to try and hold the walls.
Crap.
Okay, men.
Up on the walls you go.
Oh, yeah, because you're probably hiding down in the.
No, no.
Brave sons of Macadon.
That is and remains the best war shout in any total war game.
Do you want Macadon Rambler?
Love it.
What?
I love how you say Macadon as well.
Macadon!
Macadon!
Glory to Macadon!
Run archers!
Flee!
Oh, I can see.
Yeah, the Golden One is at the walls now.
He's moving in.
He's moving in.
Oh, crap.
Wish I had Alexander here to lead the way, but you just do it in his memory.
Oh, you got one of them.
Hello.
Yeah.
I'm Alex.
Yeah.
You're Alex the Rambler.
Alex the Great.
Oh, I see.
One of my shots on fire.
The Syrian are getting.
Oh, my God.
The Thorax Swordsman.
The Golden One is bringing them in now.
Wonderful.
We're saying before, we're going to be doing hopefully another one he's on Attila, so if we can, then obviously we'll make sure Rambler's got a fair chance.
A fairer chance.
I feel very bad for Rambler now, but he will fight on to the very death.
Indeed, indeed, but he will die with honour and glory at least.
As the great capital crumbles before him, the temples will fall to dust.
Got my Veletes firing into your foreax.
Oh my god, I can see your army now.
What have you got here?
Oh, Praetorian guard.
Here he comes.
He's bringing in the big guns.
Send in the Praetorians.
Yeah.
Son of Savaris.
I will capture our gate soon.
Yeah, good, good, good.
Yeah.
Shield bearers, they are not to be trifled with.
No.
Heavy.
Okay, we're moving in.
See, Rambler's gotta have a trucky situation because he's trying to find two fronts.
Three fronts.
Three fronts.
Oh, yeah, that golden one's attacking from two.
Golden ones, gonna say he's come from the other side as well.
Glory to back it on.
Now open the gates.
Okay, what are you bringing around here?
Oh, he's triari, you're coming in now.
I've got the triarii, because I thought they'd hold where they are.
They're a good unit on this game.
I like triari a lot.
I'm just now admiring how my troops are entering the city.
It was a glorious moment.
Oh, look at this.
I can see them now.
They're coming in.
The shield bears are moving in.
Veletes.
Alright, let's.
Let's move along the walls and help to defeat this Triaria.
Good man, come on.
Oh, epic clash, epic clash.
I'm gonna zoom in on my screen here too to see your little fighter.
Awesome.
Highly glorious.
Just seeing Rambler.
I think Rambler's brought some troops out the back door here.
They're fleeing.
Ignore them.
They weren't flashing.
No surprise the What's up, Wilma?
Oh no, I was just surprised that the Golden One has got his general so close to the action.
He has, he's brought him straight in there.
I noticed that.
He's not.
I brought my Praetorians like front and centre to throw the peeler.
Yeah, but it didn't really work.
Alright.
I noticed that as well.
I won't have him.
Oh, look at that.
Praetorians.
Wow, no.
Ready for you.
Oh, God.
I can see what Golden One's doing now.
Ready himself.
Stop!
The Ospheres have engaged.
Wonderful.
Oh, nice one.
I can see what you've done here, Golden One.
You brought across those units across to support the wall over here.
That's nice.
I like it.
Oh, good damage.
Nice.
Indeed, indeed.
Nice, nice, nice.
We've captured a tower.
Highly glorious.
And now I'm just going to try to swarm in with everything I got here.
Wonderful.
Praetorians hold.
Hold a line.
Thorax swordsman.
Okay.
Did you capture the gate, the golden one, or did you just move in?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I did.
I did.
I love how the ladders have just been abandoned.
Yeah, they were.
Facing the wrong way.
They were redundant.
Yeah, they were gone.
I think you were looking forward to this battle, weren't you, Warrior?
Because we knew it would just be a chance to beat me.
Yeah, because I tend to lose against Ramba, especially when it's siege battles.
It's this thing that usually happens.
Okay, I see, I see.
I've got the golden one on my side today.
Yeah, some help from good old Macedon.
Well, our cavalry has engaged outside the city of Rome.
Thinking about what we should do probably next time, I should have put in a larger army so you could have a 40-stack army, couldn't you?
Then oh, yeah, that would have been better.
Yeah, that would have been a lot better.
My men are holding Idol.
They will, they will.
Love it.
Oh, no, you've got pipes.
I forgot about.
I've held mine back.
I'm going to be a good boy with them.
I'm not going to.
Oh, my God.
I've zoomed in and I'm admiring the action here.
The Romans are fighting bravely, I must admit, though.
They're going to fight for every inch of this city.
The Eternal City will not fall without a fight.
Oh my God.
Golden One's quite close to the capture point already.
He's just charged in.
Oh, my God.
This general to have all the glory.
Dear God, look at this.
I pretend it's Alexander, who is the general.
So he has the lead from the front.
Yeah.
This is wonderful.
I mean, surviving.
Yeah, you're doing well there, the Golden One.
moving in beautifully it's uh oh thank you Thank you.
It's good.
It's good.
I do try.
I want to make a good impression.
Oh, that's nice.
It's my first appearance on this format.
Next time, yeah, Velma will have to have the advantage on this because I like a good, clean, fair fight for him.
Did you kill my Praetorians, or are you...
I don't think so.
You're still working on it.
Still having a good go.
How's the cavalry battle going?
Slow.
Slow.
Oh, the men are wavering.
Where?
Oh, Crikey.
Seeing that your citizen cab, isn't it?
No, it's my unit of Spartan Hoplites.
Oh, sweet.
Praetorian.
Well, I'm just getting tetchy now.
Oh, losing ground.
The battle is turning in our favour.
How quaint.
Just a little bit.
How quaint.
My Praetorians are just fighting to the death, aren't they?
Oh, they will.
They will.
They are the elite, aren't they?
Oh my god, my siege tower is on fire now.
It is now they are fighting like heroes.
I see it right here.
Awesome.
God, I love the Praetorians, they look so cool.
It's a very quick question.
Just off the coffee, the gold of one.
Are you going to be game Witcher 3 by the way?
Because I know you like your sort of role-playing games.
You're going to be game.
Yeah, speaking of that, I actually started playing The Witcher 2 just like a few weeks back because for my Twitch and I was really really impressed by it.
Yeah, I've got the third one.
Yeah, that'd be good.
So I'll play the third.
Yeah, finish the second one and then play the third one.
Really impressed.
Oh god, look at this.
Look at the bit of center here.
This is wonderful.
This is Rambler fighting on to the death here.
I don't want to look at it.
Oh my god.
Gloria Tabakadon.
Oh my god.
Gone.
This was a rather epic battle.
It was epic, but I feel for Rambler now.
We're gonna have to return the favour next time on Attila.
Yeah.
We're gonna have to be to sacrifice them.
You're taking my citizen calf down with pretty much ease, actually.
They have been slaughtered.
Yeah, it's good there.
Yeah, yeah.
It's basically the only thing I've done.
And now.
Okay, now they're breaking the Triaria.
They fought like lions.
Yeah.
Oh, catch the gates.
Oh my god.
Storm.
Storm the gates.
I'll bring everyone I can back.
Oh my god.
But yeah, speaking of the Witcher, I was always so into Skyrim, so I didn't really look elsewhere for it's an open world game like Skyrim, so I thought you quite like that, you see, because all open world Witcher 3 is.
So all explore and discover what you can.
Yeah.
So yeah, it's freaking good.
That sounds highly glorious.
Have you got rid of your beard, by the way?
No, I am.
I'm caressing it as we speak, actually.
Lovely.
I'm having it still.
But I'll have to consult my fair maiden first.
At first, she was very reluctant, but then she's warmed to it, actually.
She likes it now.
Lovely.
Barely taking down any of your Spartans, am I?
You're just walking away from them.
You're walking away from my Syrians.
Oh, God, yeah.
Just seeing them.
I didn't see they were there.
I'm about taking it across to deal with them.
Oh, no, why do I mention anything?
Come on, the Zenters.
Come on and enter.
Come on, Azentis.
It's just ridiculous.
A thing I really like with Attila is the Christian kind of war shouts.
It's so rare with like for God himself.
Yeah.
Because he's used to like for Ares and for Zeus, but then he shouts like for God in heaven and the Saviour.
It's good, isn't it?
I'm thinking about reverting to the paganism with Western Roman.
A lot of people have asked me to do that, and I don't think I could try for the challenge.
It's hard.
Yeah.
Oh, where did you get close?
Oh, for God's sake.
What were we looking at?
Just everywhere.
Oh, God.
Death and destruction.
Versus Praetorian God.
will be a grind for the ages.
And then we have even more.
No, that's Triarii.
Look at his Praetorian Guard.
They are doing phenomenally though.
there yeah my god the blood everywhere It's just ridiculous.
Glory to Makedon.
It has been a bloody... A bloodbath, indeed.
Bloody mess, yeah.
Oh, my cookies.
I love how you've fought your stakes there, Wambler.
Yeah, how about they try and hold you a little bit?
It's more against cavalry than they could.
Yeah.
So much blood going on right now.
Yep.
My general is actually...
Might not survive this.
Ah no!
He fought!
He fell.
He fell!
He fell.
Has he?
Yep.
Yes!
I killed him!
Alexander has fallen.
Oh my god.
It was a worthy death.
To fight in his honour.
I'm the new Alexander now.
That's one general down.
Yeah, one down.
I don't think I'll be able to take out warriors.
Warriors of Macadon.
Okay, look at this Circus Maximus here.
Beautiful.
Glorious.
Let's get a charge on Triariite.
And let's spirit around.
Okay, holding there.
God, you're a toying guard, jee- Jesus Chr.
You don't mess with them.
No, you don't.
One's killed 206 men so far.
Jesus.
Other ones killed 156.
Yeah, I'm holding.
You are?
This is a great combination fact of battle stars here.
fact that you know this elite praetorian guard which when i only on case of course they all do better in technically against the sword units you know they're They will get better attack against the spears.
So you've probably got an advantage there as well.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Yeah.
I also brought some Triari it to kind of try and hold your spears in place.
In case I could have got around to flank or anything like that, but.
Yeah, I'm holding off your Royal Spartans.
Oh, God, that's good, because especially with the Royal Spartans.
My fair maiden, Gemma, I can smell she's cooking my food at the moment.
She's food for the guards.
Food for the gods.
How wonderful.
What I'm having garlic bread and pasta with lettuce, leek and bacon.
Ah.
That sounds like a feast for the gods, actually.
Would you recommend that, the golden one, or would you say that's too much carbohydrate?
No, no.
Carbohydrates are good.
I mean it's a good for building size.
So I'd say that sounds like a good meal actually.
And garlic bread is one of the pleasures of life actually.
So I love it.
It's just good in it.
Let's go.
Were you closely watching our elections last week?
Because I know you quite like your politics, though.
Yes, I followed it a bit Actually, and uh, I was quite satisfied with the, with the results um actually yeah, but I'm not that um familiar with the, with the election system per se so uh, it's quite a complicated one in our country.
Yeah, I've heard as much as that.
It's first past the post so yeah well, whoever gets in in the constituency, whoever gets the most votes, gets the seat actually.
So yeah, it can be, it's a.
It's sometimes a lot of people um, can sort of think it's not right and not fair, but I don't know how we can do what I try to do.
Whatever you try to do, oh well, you can't have cavalry.
Oh god, that's why I set myself up on the bridge.
Yeah, I had no nothing else.
I couldn't do anything else with them really.
So figured, I'd try and do something.
That you see, although the rest of my men are barely holding now, are they now?
Uh, now we got some Macedonian pikemen to contend with.
Oh god, that's not Macedon thing is.
Rambler loves pikemen, he literally loves him.
When he's defending, he gets his pikemen.
I love pikemen as well actually, in an opening, and he's done flipping out.
Your Praetorian guard are just flipping tanks Rambler, that you only see them on this right hand, left hand side.
They're just killing me.
Not killing, but they're just holding against like seven units of Hopper days.
It's unbelievable.
You haven't put them in pike formation.
No, they're not.
These are not.
Oh yeah well, they are actually.
God yeah, these are my pipes, aren't they?
God yeah, i'll take a look.
Formation attacks.
You have that, does it anything?
Actually, there's a thin line.
My men are just desperately like, help, help me.
Um, i'm quite impressed by the Triarii also i'm.
Yeah, they're very good units, they're very good.
Standing up to my Thorax swordsman and impressed by that, oh my god, this is, this is wonderful.
This is like the landscape, the backdrop of the temples looking across at us.
Oh yeah, it is rather glorious.
Hiding from under the gods, like the, the gods of Olympus, are watching their absolutely, the sons from from Greece.
Actually, the enemy have taken a tower, the enemy has taken don't flee, don't flee, don't flee.
Oh, the praetorians are routing, oh no.
And here comes the general and bodyguard and now they go again.
Thorax Pikeman uh, I am speaking of Macadon, etc.
I have often lamented the fact that the Alexander film from 2004 yes, I wish they had made a trilogy instead okay, and that he was a bit more um, a bit manlier, I guess yeah and, and he Faistion yeah, because Heistion was so um, he wasn't aggressive enough like in in my.
In my view yeah, he was very affectionate towards Alexander in that, wasn't he?
I think yeah, a bit a bit feminine almost.
Yeah uh, in the in the book God Of War by Christian Cameron can highly recommend that to to everyone listening and watching.
Yeah um there, he is quite quite brutal and uh, brutal and bloody Heistion is is in that uh, and obviously Alexander is um, quite crazy.
Also yeah, would you and you'd like to don't make it as a trilogy of films, would you, where he sort of, he sort of focused more on his life yeah, basically everything, since it's such um, such a long life uh yeah, not really long, but eventful life yeah exactly, the stuff he did in Egypt as well was pretty amazing and stuff yeah exactly, so you kind of need um, didn't he make himself fairer, I think of eg, of Egypt, I think?
Uh yeah, I think that too, not sure about the technicalities per se, but uh some sort of uh okay look at his glorious charge by Wambler, defying charge, that's amazing to the last.
That was awesome.
I could see him coming across into your pikes.
Oh, look at that.
Now they fall.
The Roman abstosh, how dare they stand against the might of Hellas like this.
Glory to Macron and glory to Sparta.
Oh god.
But the Romans fought valiantly.
Valiantly, very valiantly.
Triarii Praetorians must be saluted.
Close victory.
GG.
Well played indeed.
Let's have a look at the statistics, gentlemen.
Awesome.
Let's see.
I'm a bit nervous now.
I hope I know for myself.
Did actually.
You're very aggressive.
That's so lucky.
So, yeah, I actually lost some more than you, actually.
Golden One Eye actually lost 1290.
And you got less kills.
Yeah, dish.
Look at that.
Look at Selwood Rambler, actually.
God.
Look at that Praetorian Guard, 324.
Beastly.
Whoa.
Praetorian Guard is 2,000 kills with his.
So that was a pretty decent.
Didn't do too badly.
You didn't actually.
You did yourself proud.
I think if we'd had 40 men, you'd have killed us, I think.
Taken us down.
But valiantly fought, Rambler.
Valentially fought.
Yes, it was.
Did you enjoy it?
I thought it was good.
Yeah, it was good.
It was good fun.
I'll definitely do it again.
We'll do it again, guys.
Probably on a tiller.
We'll have a go on a tiller next time and have some burning and blood.
Indeed, maybe we could do like if I'm some sort of Norseman faction and you can be some sort of like British British faction and I can come and feed you.
That would be quality.
Well, I hope you enjoyed it as well, guys.
If you did, drop the videos a like.
