Sorry I missed a big cav charge that Macedon did against Rome. The charge killed the Roman general. It was pretty important to the battle sorry I missed it.
2:05 i was licking my fingers of red hot funyuns when Mr. Apollo gave me a lesson in moderation...11 years in military taught me to eat fast, sleep whenever you can, and watch PA!!!!
This was such an amazing battle, I was the Egypt player and even though we lost I knew I had to submit this. Kudos to the defenders for literally fighting to the last man.
Im pretty much a rookie player and i keep asking myself, Why didnt anyone defended the walls? Isnt it easier to defend walls than fighting in the open space inside the town?
Roy Campbell it’s harder to defend the walls in a barbarian settlement since the walls are not elevated on the defenders POV, but you have more opportunities for troop movement to get small flanks on units because of more space
It's normal : in big battles like this there are so many things going on at once that it's hard to keep track of everything and things tend to get pretty messy. So yeah : both attackers and defenders knew how to handle a siege battle, but with everything that was going on it got messy pretty fast, it happens all the time in Total War sieges, especially a big one like this
AMAZING battle! Caught me on the edge from start to finish and even found me cheering and shouting at the screen at that end! Oh what an end !! Amazing, thanks to Pixie and all the players for this masterpiece !
Honestly, I think Macedon deserve the most kudos for standing against, and bleeding dry, Rome, on their own. Allowing their allies to concert their efforts against the rest of the attackers. The temptation is always to team up on Rome, focusing your power there, and while that makes sense, it would also have left them outnumbered against the superior numbers of two other attacking armies. So Macedon basically fought a desperate war of sacrificial attrition to stall and blunt their deadliest threat.
Defenders return home, "wives in waiting"?"" Sorry this is all that's left. On the other hand, the attackers were never to be seen or heard from again.
Imagine being one of those last few soldiers that held, walking around your city to see the bodies of nearly everyone you cared about. Your brothers in arms... Just... gone...
Carthage and Galicia: we held out as long as we could! We are preparing the inner defenses now! Meanwhile on the Macedonian side: the Romans are so scared they’re doing the Conga!
When the galatian general charged the elephants Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas!
do you think two armies have ever annihilated each other like this? I know, when the numbers start piling up you fall back and try again for another day. but history is a BIG place....somebody had to be stupid enough to push for it all.
The reason why my pikes had moved without the general at the end was because the attackers were on and capturing the victory point, I had to move quickly. I knew the risks but had to keep them off the point and buy time. Jist thought it needed justification, you and others seemed confused but the move was somewhat deliberate. It's a shame you did miss the cav and the attention to detail of my archers, but you cant capture everything, thanks for covering
@@PixelatedApollo1 It was not. Where my pikes died was the victory point Dont worry though! The replay doesnt actually tell you where the victory point is, you couldn't have known! You still covered the battle really well
49:45 *Barbarian general:* WE WON THE BATTLE, THE SIEGE IS LIFTED! *Macedonian general:* that's great, we have to celebrate that tonight! *Egyptian general:* so that's a party for like twenty men, right? *Barbarian general:* sigh, yes, all of our fellas are dead on the field. *Macedonian general:* one single suckling pig on the roast should be enough for all of us, as well as one barrel of honey mead. *Egyptian general:* I need to go and find my body guards first, though. they ran away, eventually. those pesky elifents were op af.
Wow, this was an AMAZING battle. I was confused by the first half of it and not understanding much. But the second half was epic! Some dusts even got into my eyes when the last cavalry was doing their final charges. Amazing!
GREATEST SIEGE BATTLE EVERRRR! OMG. BRUH THOSE CAV CHARGES AT THE END WERE GETTING ME PUMPED!!! #WhateverItTakes #WhatEverItTakes !!! Loved how the 2 generals took a last stand fight against the Beast of the Ancient World Elephants! The Carthage general dies and his Allie stays and fulfills the Generals dying wish.. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!
Great battle and tactics love it! I think the the reason carthage kept holding that forward position was to keep the enemy from revealing those hidden troops in the middle
This was the greatest siege battle ever! Thank you so much Apollo! I felt like saying “I Bid you STAND! MEN OF THE WEST!” at the final part. Awesome! I am filled with emotions of excitement now so I am not going to say any more. SONS OF CARTHAGE! DO YOUR DUTY!
I've noticed Apollo often gets very into talking about some tactical manoeuvre that might occur later and basically ignores what's going on. E.g. at 8:17 there's a huge amount of Macedonian cavalry outside the walls, just completely ignored. edit: again at 12:45 the Macedonian cav is about to rout the roman general, but he's still talking about how elite certain roman units are and when they should be used. Like jesus dude just look at what's happening on the screen, then you might pick these things out and we'll get to see it properly.
@@akshaykumarjha9136 Oh yeah, I wouldn't want him to stop speaking about these things, but I feel he maybe spends a bit too much time talking about what the players could be doing, instead of looking at what they are actually doing.
My first thought is that the attackers will receive victory but then it was so amazing that the defenders played it well. The defenders did it, and they really deserved victory because of their amazing tactics and strategy. Job well done defenders! Thanks to Apollo for making these "total war" videos, I am also playing these games especially Rome 2 and three kingdoms and your videos gave me a lot of ideas on how to win a battle efficiently and easily.
Those thorax swords never moved. They held that spot until they broke. Rome simply managed to push on other fronts just enough to be able to get around them
That was soooo intense!!! At the start i kinda was doubting the defenders, but they pulled through nonetheless. There were lots of mistakes done on both sides. But in the end it went down to the last 4 units. Nice one guys, you made a very good battle!!
I'd say that Egypt is the best "faction" on RTW2, cuz I've defended so many town with only the base garrison (Egyptian Pikemen / Egyptian Infantry) , that has pretty much no armour yet I conquered so easily enemy towns, becuse the heavy infantry has good stats, and even on open field battles, a combination of Thorax Pikemen + a general on chariot and both being covered by Nubian Bowman, makes really easy to destroy even the heaviest Roman Troops. It they have no big enemies and have a large amount of territories... And if everything goes wrong, U still have the Elephants to cause havoc on the battlefield.
Not trying to knock you or anything but in Single player any faction you the player are using is nearly unstoppable, the AI just can't cope against Human players without some bonuses added to it. Now Multiplayer is where we have to judge Factions on how great they are.
@@RomanHistoryFan476AD Still, I'd would say that It's probably the best "faction", There ain't much that can be done against Hellenic Royal Guard on tight Phalanx formation if there is no missiles forces around or elephants. Add some Royal Peltasts and Royal Thorax Swordsman with Nubian Bowman and thats game. 2 Expenssive? No prob, keep the Phalanx unit and the Nubian Bowman but instead of Royal Peltasts and Royal Thorax Swordsman, just take Thorax Swordsman and Sobek Cultits. To deal with archers just trow some low cost cav followd with Scythed Chariots and this works not only with archers but pretty much with any troop that does not weights over 3 tons... For sure Egypt is not unvencible, but I ( I ) think it's the best faction on game.
I cant believe I just saw this now, you earned yourself a sub from me since I really enjoy these types of games and battles that kinda involves some history and some past solid military forces in the world. Hopefully I see more of this!!
Dude i subscribed for ur channel 1 year ago and i feel so happy every time i got the notifs for this game videos .... so i'm upgrading my pc by Dec this year and i wish i can join ur battles ... btw i played rome total war 1 for 3 years .... so u will find that i'm experienced
Fun Fact: The Sacred Band was an elite unit build up by Alexander The Great. This Unit was made of gay pairs and when one man died his 'boyfriend' fought just wilder. They overran the Spartans.
The battle was amazing, but nothing will ever beat the one you showed us when everything of the 2 armies that was left were 1 spearman and 1 knight and they killed each other in a direct duel. Nothing can ever ever top that one, though i cant seem to find it without rewatching 1000000 of your videos :)
Also, dude I love your channel so much! Your narrative is always epic and he just make me want to keep watching my one fear is that you’ll stop LOL so please don’t ever stop! Also, don’t let those butt holes to know it all stop you from being you! Keep on the Phenomenal entertainment and awesome narratives
Hey instead of following a Random soldier one thing you could do is follow A unit you know will make it to the end that way we can really see the action on a whole notha level. I love the soldier series so One suggestion I had with that is you could fast forward through the end of a battle and pick a cool looking soldier from one of the units that seen a lot of action and follow him because you know you will get all the bang for your buck!!!
I alreddy saw this battle a while ago, saw 1 big mistake in the beginning of the fight, the pikemen who didnt used their pikes. and for the rest I saw a incredible siege ! it was a thriller to the end !
I think the Carthage defence was meant to look bad. So it looks like a trap or something, but to delay the enemy and buy time for the defence and to allow allies to kill as many enemies as possible, also to confuse the attackers and have them rethink their strategy
5:32 Sobek cultists? Is this battle modded? I don't remember seeing that unit when I beat the game using Egypt. OH! I know this map! I had a really awesome battle on this one recently. Ah it was so cool, it came down to just two units on the entire map! (similar to this) mine and the enemies. Agh i wan't to submit it but i don't know how to.
Layered defences in Total War multiplayer in general are suboptimal strategies in my opinion, and that is due to the meta. Attacks are almost never layered (i.e. piecemeal) hence the defenders of a layered defense will almost always be outnumbered. But games where you feature a layered defence I find much more enjoyable and entertaining!
The Romans should have sent that cavalry to help the elephants, if they did that they could have won the battle. For me, it didn't look like the attackers had any communication, meanwhile the deffenders apparently had.

@Qwerty 1234 Sorry bro, but why you reading comments before watching the vid haha

Roy Campbell it’s harder to defend the walls in a barbarian settlement since the walls are not elevated on the defenders POV, but you have more opportunities for troop movement to get small flanks on units because of more space
I am so angry I scrolled through the comments and saw this and I was still watching!
When you said it was going to be the greatest siege I doubted you and I now regret that. Amazing
Love the koala
I thought it was clickbait...hes done this before.
if you play Rome 2 imo this type of battle happens quite often tbh
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!!!
Yooooo he’s before the actual youtuber
For some reason i found the defenders performance incredible but yet awfull and confusing, still an amazing defense
Yess
Idk, everything I saw made sense to me
I always thought they knew what they were doing, I just don't realize how it was going to work.
It's normal : in big battles like this there are so many things going on at once that it's hard to keep track of everything and things tend to get pretty messy.

@@RoulicisThe Kind of like a real battle in a way, i like that about Total war it can become chaotic and hard to run the whole battle sometimes.

Meanwhile on the Macedonian side: the Romans are so scared they’re doing the Conga!
This is the most thrilling battle I have ever seen man!!!! Goddamn what a victory
“I Bid you STAND! MEN OF THE WEST!”

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!

My favourite part of every siege video
1.Attackers finally made it into the walls
2.Defenders Falling back
3.Defenders Last Stand
Lol, you did'nt notice roman general being annihilated
Makedon screwed up really big with the pikes in the end though
That was sad i noticed it
