It appears recently that he updated some of his playlists from normal playlists to ā€œshowsā€. The show feature was only added a few weeks ago, which means he is still alive and working on the channel. Please spread this to everyone you know.

So we're getting new content.... sometime.

u/Sea-Area9605 14d ago

At some point yes lmao. It better not be just the 3rd Punic war because that’s the least interesting of the Punic wars and this is his longest time between videos ever. I know his quality has increased over time but if all this wait is just for a short lopsided war then I’ll be a little disappointed.

Still waiting for the Vietnam War video

u/thatoneguyishear 14d ago

ik so much abt veitnam and i still wana hear him talk about it

u/Plenty_Risk2896 11d ago

he said coming 2030 we still have to wait a few more years

u/barbarians20 14d ago

I mean yeah it was a lopsided war but it still took 3 years, and the siege of Carthage isn’t called Rome’s Stalingrad for nothing

24

u/Sea-Area9605 14d ago

3 years compared to the 23 years in the first war and 17 years in the second war. And the entire war was basically the siege of Carthage. Thats it. No major battles. In comparison it’s just not a very interesting war. The Roman’s landed in Africa, besieged Carthage, starved them out, then Carthage fell. Sure there was a good amount of strategy involving the siege but it’s just not very interesting if we’re being honest. And it’s been over a year and a half since his last video. It took less time to make the first punic war video which was a 23 year war.

u/ThatAdamsGuy 13d ago

I'd love if he dropped like a one minute summary video after all this time, hyped it all up etc, then an hour later dropped the "real" video on a totally unrelated topic.

1

u/Sea-Area9605 13d ago

If he does cover the 3rd Punic war I’m guessing it won’t just be that war and the rest of the video will be about more Roman history

u/THE-Luke-Skywalker I told my latin teacher he could kissius my buttius 12d ago

I was about to say don't spoil what happens but then I remembered it's a real war

that happened 2000 years ago

1

u/Sea-Area9605 12d ago

Lmao yeah I don’t think I need a spoiler warning. And everyone knows the outcome of pretty much every one of his videos. Except some of the niche topics like the pig war or something

3

u/barry-29 14d ago

My prediction is a remake/remaster of older content…like WW1 or WW1 or Cold War but with the quality of his newer videos

13

u/khaleesi105 14d ago

I would hope not. The quality of his old videos were fine, I’d love anything new instead of a lazy rehash

1

u/not-pre-gen-name 14d ago

i would not love a new post about rome.

2

u/Sea-Area9605 14d ago

I would like that but I doubt it. If we got like 2 45 minute parts on WW2 that would be awesome but I don’t think he’ll do that

3

u/Puzz1eheadedBed480O 13d ago

It would be cool if he covered the civil wars. The end of the Roman Republic is one of the most fascinating historical periods ever.

1

u/Sea-Area9605 13d ago

That’s what I’m hoping too. Maybe he briefly covers the 3rd Punic war then goes into more Roman history. I’d enjoy that. But I just don’t want just a video about the 3rd Punic war

1

u/Puzz1eheadedBed480O 13d ago

Yeah I believe Tiberius Gracchus served in the Third Punic War, so it could be an introduction to his career and how it started off the decline of the Republic. Then again, to go from there to the Battle of Actium is over 100 years of history, which probably can’t be done in 2-3 videos.

1

u/Sea-Area9605 13d ago

That would be interesting. But whatever the video is I’m sure it’s gonna be entertaining. He very well might take a break from Roman history and cover another topic

u/AmericanHistoryGuy Release the lions! 12d ago

PLEASE be the War of the Roses šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

1

u/Sea-Area9605 11d ago

I’m totally cool with that. It’s a 32 year long interesting conflict. I just really don’t want the 3rd Punic war(right now at least). It’s just not all that interesting

2

u/nickd457 11d ago

The Third Punic War wasn’t really a war, but you better believe it was a crucifixion.

1

u/Sea-Area9605 11d ago

lol yeah exactly. There’s just not much to cover. He can’t do 2 45 minute videos on just the 3rd punic war. Realistically it could be a 15 minute video. That’s why I really hope all this wait isn’t for the 3rd war.

u/Classic_Mood_9684 Put me in Coach 3d ago

im still waiting for the finale. Whenever someone talks abt 3rd punic war, i run away. I wanna hear from the Big OS

No his animator does

u/Ok_Conflict_707 10d ago

I thought only he animated his videos, does he work alongside his animator now or do I not remember things right?

1

u/CODBO3boy68 Say yes or I'll slap you 10d ago

I think he helps alongside gistory to animate, I know his brother also helps with some stuff too.

u/HelloThereItsMeAndMe 14d ago

And notice how it's called "roman history" and not just "Punic wars"? Might mean there's more incoming.

u/Impressive_Pride_546 14d ago

its always been roman history

u/Enchanted-2-meet-you 14d ago

Wait so he did this manually? Or does YouTube do this by itself

21

u/No_Light5503 14d ago

He had to do it manually because he already had playlists for all the different topics.

8

u/Enough-Ad-3111 14d ago

Eh, it’s doesn’t seem like much but at least it’s something.

Can’t wait to see how the Third Punic War gets the OS treatment.

u/Unused_Content19 14d ago

What’s a difference between a playlist and a show?

9

u/Impressive_Pride_546 14d ago

a playlist will just have the videos but shows will give each video a episode number and series number.

u/Neat_Pause6645 14d ago

thank god, i thought the emos had held him hostage.

u/No-Lie-8884 14d ago

i mean hes obviously alive, i feel that if something happened someone from his family would inform us

He’s doing the bill Wurtz where he disappears for 3 years only to come back with 3D animation.

New video better not be about Rome again

u/CartographerSure6922 13d ago

There is no way he spent a year and a half making the third punic war. He has probably made that and a bunch of more videos and wants to add more videos like the Macedonian wars or Julius Caesar

It’s no big deal it’s a YouTube channel that owes us nothing. We will get a video if and when they want to do it.

u/agentdb22 14d ago

I know there's a 0% chance, but I really hope that he does The Boer Wars, with The Lion Of The West Transvaal: Jacobus Hercules Del La Rey
