Man say Rome bad

Well Pyrrhus did defeat Carthage so...

Depends on how much you know history

It’s… it’s not?

Me

Nah just you

The Roman dance of integrating the Etruscans, Venetic etc in the early game and then betraying them later on once you don't need the levies.

The key is to marry her off to Demetrius, then hope she produces a daughter, then marry her and that way the heir of Pyrrhus can carry the blood of Akaios, Antigonos and Argeaids.

@@Marcoz588 This is the way.

Guy even didn't know about Magna Graecia.

He did so to protect Greek cities on the Italian Peninsula, which were threatened by Rome and Carthage. And had he won decisively, he could've likely earned prestige as "protector of Greeks" to subjugate Macedonia and Greece more easily.

@@starhalv2427 That is a romantic and not a historical view of Pyrrhos and listen I love the history of the man but realistically he was overly ambitious and was not strategically adept enough to even control and administrate Magna Graecia and you have to remember: he invaded Macedon and the Peloponnese where he betrayed Sparta , where he proved to be already tactically exhausted and after the death of his son Ptolemy, personally as well. It was on the streets of Argos that he was ended by the hand of a Greek woman. He would never be recognised as the protector of the Greeks. But instead looked upon by the people as another pretender to the claim even if he had conquered succesfully in Italy.

@@IncontenentiaButtux Protecting greek cities was the official reason he went to Italy, I didn't claim he had no ambition beyond that. And there are lots of examples in history, of people crafting an image of themselves that allows them to basically subjugate entire nations without a fight.

@@starhalv2427 I didn't say you did I just corrected the romanticized view of him that you presented and its fun to have such views its what gets us into history, no ? Yes there are plenty of examples of such deeds but the situation in the Greek lands was incredibly complex and not as simple as it isusually presented with the statement that Alexander united the Greeks. In fact it's the strife at "home" that drives many of his generals in some aspect to prompt Alexander to return and show that he is "Greek" to the people. Pyrrhus would encounter heavy resistance both from the nobility and the general population of much of the regions that we at this time call as the land of the Hellenes. Putting the crown on your head is one thing, but to be it is a world far detached from romantic fantasy that we like to create when learning about history at a trivial level. But there is nothing wrong with that, everyone has to start somewhere and it is that seeming romantic nature that drives most of us to learn more about it.

Actually, he did try to conquer Macedon and occupied it temporarily before getting kicked out. He then turned west when that failed. Never has a man failed so hard at everything he tried to do, but is still remembered as a great general.

Now that’s a fun fact

He needed tercios for the -30% shock damage received.

Should've just slackened, smh what a noob

"LAITH, DID YOU PUT YA NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYA" Pyrrhus asked calmly

The hell ?

@@joundii3100 sorry, got a lil bit too 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 👅 typing that comment

what does blood have to do with ability to rule?

Pretty sure it's just Sparta and Epirus with the serious military buffs. Sparta in particular has incredible bonuses to discipline.

yeah it annoyed me quite a bit

It makes me laugh how different history might have been if he could have just stayed in one place for more than a couple of years (and also not make everyone hate him)

I hope he never does it...

@@gawkthimm6030 You got a hundred more videos till he does, most likely.

oh gods I hope he never does...
