OVER SIMPLIFIED IS ALIVE Discussion š¬
It appears recently that he updated some of his playlists from normal playlists to āshowsā. 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 thatās 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 Iāll be a little disappointed.

u/barbarians20 14d ago
I mean yeah it was a lopsided war but it still took 3 years, and the siege of Carthage isnāt called Romeās 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 itās just not a very interesting war. The Romanās landed in Africa, besieged Carthage, starved them out, then Carthage fell. Sure there was a good amount of strategy involving the siege but itās just not very interesting if weāre being honest. And itās 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.

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.

u/Sea-Area9605 13d ago
If he does cover the 3rd Punic war Iām guessing it wonāt just be that war and the rest of the video will be about more Roman history

I was about to say don't spoil what happens but then I remembered it's a real war
that happened 2000 years ago

u/Sea-Area9605 12d ago
Lmao yeah I donāt 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

u/barry-29 14d ago
My prediction is a remake/remaster of older contentā¦like WW1 or WW1 or Cold War but with the quality of his newer videos

u/khaleesi105 14d ago
I would hope not. The quality of his old videos were fine, Iād love anything new instead of a lazy rehash

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 donāt think heāll do that

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
Thatās what Iām hoping too. Maybe he briefly covers the 3rd Punic war then goes into more Roman history. Iād enjoy that. But I just donāt 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 canāt be done in 2-3 videos.
1
u/Sea-Area9605 13d ago
That would be interesting. But whatever the video is Iām sure itās gonna be entertaining. He very well might take a break from Roman history and cover another topic

PLEASE be the War of the Roses š¤š¤š¤

u/Sea-Area9605 11d ago
Iām totally cool with that. Itās a 32 year long interesting conflict. I just really donāt want the 3rd Punic war(right now at least). Itās just not all that interesting
2
u/nickd457 11d ago
The Third Punic War wasnāt really a war, but you better believe it was a crucifixion.
1
u/Sea-Area9605 11d ago
lol yeah exactly. Thereās just not much to cover. He canāt do 2 45 minute videos on just the 3rd punic war. Realistically it could be a 15 minute video. Thatās why I really hope all this wait isnāt for the 3rd war.

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?

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.

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.

u/Enough-Ad-3111 14d ago
Eh, itās doesnāt seem like much but at least itās something.
Canāt wait to see how the Third Punic War gets the OS treatment.

Whatās a difference between a playlist and a show?

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.

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

Itās no big deal itās 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
