I don't know if you could be interested but I like to try to remake ancient battles using modern total war software so I did this

I enjoyed watching that; thanks, Andrew.  Quite an impressive spectacle.

Is there a reason why the Roman reserve did not move left into what looked like a very vulnerable gap on the Gothic right?  My impression is that they could have cut the Gothic right in two and then rolled up the whole Gothic army.

maybe, but being a custom battle for YouTube winning was not the main thing, as to make a good video.
