Rated awful, deemed an unmitigated disaster, and accused of single-handedly stunting the growth of an entire genre, we lovingly embrace The Fall of Rome. 🕰️ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:36 First Edition (1973) 2:58 Simulation Solitaire 7:35 Second Edition (1997) 10:08 Playing by the Rules 11:42 Scenario Setup 15:56 420 AD: Revolt! 37:52 421 AD: March on Rome 58:42 422 AD: Syrian Slaughter 1:16:35 423 AD: Treason in Egypt 1:32:15 424 AD: Invasion of the Huns 1:53:52 425 AD: Enemy at the Gates 2:08:34 426 AD: Fall of Rome 2:25:44 427 AD: Barbarians Rising 2:35:32 428 AD: Gallic Wars 2:41:44 429 AD: End of Empire 2:51:30 430 AD: War and War 2:59:55 431 AD: Eternity and a Day 3:10:23 Final Discussion Join this channel: https://youtube.com/@hopelessstream Twitch: https://twitch.tv/hopelessstream Instagram: https://instagram.com/hopelessgames Facebook: https://facebook.com/hopelessgames Hopeless Games dive into the weird and wonderful world of niche gaming.
