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
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 gonna rewatch your battle for the 2nd time today
@Qwerty 1234 Sorry bro, but why you reading comments before watching the vid haha
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
I am so angry I scrolled through the comments and saw this and I was still watching!
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.
Your my favroite youtuber and i almost punched my tv when you said carthrig(sorry if i miss-spelt carthrig)
Don’t worry Apollo you’ve got nothing to be sorry about it was a big beautiful battle
Pixelated Apollo today is my birthday and I’m spending my time rewatching ur vids and other TH-cam vids
Pixelated Apollo no worries
U SHOULD BE ASHAMED
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!!!!
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.
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. 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
@@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.
Attackers: *You won, but what was the cost?*
Defenders: *Everything...*
Technically not everyting....it cost you ALOT, but you still have....like....
a few things.
@@mikeshogunlee The city for one. Well, at least for another day :)
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...
95% combat losses for both sides.
@@luthercampbell3058 holy shit i forgot about this comment
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
Made Rome your bish
oh thats weird. The capture point wasnt near the big tree?
@@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
No one:
Apollo: Fancy red arrows and circles
Me:WOOOOOOOOOOOW
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.
More milfs for the men that survived
Awesome replay bud!! Thank you for covering it, we defenders had a LOT of fun with this defense!!
This is the most thrilling battle I have ever seen man!!!! Goddamn what a victory
My favourite part of every siege video
1.Attackers finally made it into the walls
2.Defenders Falling back
3.Defenders Last Stand
So is calling the Selucids "Carthage" gonna become an Apollo meme now?
the 2 generals just return home and everyone at home is like, wheres everyone else?
“I Bid you STAND! MEN OF THE WEST!”
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.
@@mikeshogunlee Ever heard about Pyrrhus of Epirus?
@@Royinszki Thanks a lot! You are the captain!
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
Macedon not Makedon just saying for you to know
@@issa5579 was nearly good
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!!!
Pixie: Macedon is a great defensive faction
Alexander the great: Am i a joke too you?
Apollo you're like my "Bob Ross" of total war channels!
This is one of the best most glorious, best narrator person/ video ever. Thanks Pixilated Apollo u deserve a subscriber, and here u go
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
Beautiful play!!! Carthage player had amazing tactics and the Galatian cav was used perfectly
This is why I like to watch this guy’s videos. Because he is a really good sport on his opponent! Really great vid and battle! :)
Apollo I watched all your recent siege Total war vids back to back! Give us MORE!!!!
Pixolated apollo your channel brings me enjoyment just watching your videos love total war games because of you thanks for the videos man.
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 he says don’t eat all your snacks...so true during quarantine lol
Sickest replay i've ever seen, bloody hell what a great battle!
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!!
that was amazing the defenders maneuvers were so good. Very entertaining commentary.
I’ve always enjoy the close up you do Apollo
Love your videos and commentaries, you are the reason I started total war games.
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
I liked the defenders playing, they were too smart and turned the battel to them selfs by their tactics
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!!
To the wire those elephants did a number such a strategic battle loved this one!!
I haven’t “liked” a video in months if not more. Great battle.
Apollo another fantastic video! Could we get a video of Rome fighting in the open field soon?
"Take your time eating your snacks, don't eat them all in the first 5 mins" Apollo says as I shovel food into my mouth as fast as I can
Just a "wow, that didnt really happen right?" replay lol
Genuinely the best battle to watch during quarantine
A silent moment for the fallen sons in this epic battle.
Thank you for this nice Video Pixie :)
I have watch all of Your seige battle videos ...and damn they are good ...but this is one of my favorite seige battle ever
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!
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 :)
that was Heir of Carthage. That was amazing
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
That cav charge towards the elephants gave back my LOTR ptsd. Oh and sick replay.
1:02 oh give them a break Lord Apollo! It was a really late night and a lot of mead!
This was insane probably a part of top 10 battles that I have ever seen, thanks Apollo this was truly entertaining
Are you actually from Northampton, chief?
Rock Ape sadly I'm not
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.
The ballista at 3:40 though, that fire rate is insane lol
This was a really cool battle! More like this please!
Loved the Rohirrim charge against the oliphants.
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 was destroying some pop corn when Apollo said slow down on the snacks lololollololol
You can imagine the victors at the end with pretty much everyone wiped out on both sides, thinking "was it worth it?" haha great battle
A really good battle!!! Hadn't seen one like this in a while
The way you missed the Macedon sally out...!!! Maddening haha
Crazy close at the end. Great siege battle
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!!!
“You’ve never lived to you’ve been bodied by a horse!” Most of the attackers right now 49:11
I've never played this game but was on my recommendation list. It's really fun to watch
Truly Carthage is an extremely strong tactical player here.
Excellent cav charge again cleaning up cleaning up these troops big time.
The Carthaginian player really pulled it off for the defenders. Over all, a great battle!
So cool to listen your commentary :D You're totaly in^^ Hear ya in the next vid^^ Hope you had a nice Christmas and wish you a good change to 2020 :D Greetings Germany ^^
Apollo, you don’t have to say the siege is going to be glorious, we already know it’s going to
It deserves 100k views. Such a roller coaster of a battle.
Wow. That was a crazy close battle!
Honestly this is the best siege battle I've seen on Rome 2
Almost raged when you said Cartage
Me to brother
Shutup with your first world problems
@@friedchicken894 ?
@@friedchicken894 if you have internet then I don't think you can talk because you most likely live in a first world country
golden xper you are such a fucking moron I wasn’t talking about myself I could care less about how someone pronounces Carthage that was my point
This is definitely my favourite battle, it was nerve breaking!! Omg
I love how he really wants us to be comfortable. Like thanks bro
Wow! What a battle! That was awesome
Unbelievable...Excellent work from the players!!
That was an amazing battle. Props to the players.
Im liking your vids so much man thanks!
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.
@@Historyfan476AD 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.
Very nice battle all the way through
When u talked about snacks had me dead lmao
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.
Cot damn dat was a great video. Definitely made me play this game. What a great battle
I have underestimated your word Apollo that is an amazing battle, you surprise me.
THAT. ENDING!
Wow! GG to all players! It was really down to the wire, with the heroic generals!
damn you apollo. im trying to lose weight but i cant resist when you say snacks and drinks.
Man Gotta Love Pixelated Apollo's videos
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!
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.
Maybe the most intense and best battle I ever saw. Awesome!
😍🤩
PA you are my child hood and I love it when you tl us to get our snacks
Lol. I seen the video was long so I started loading it in and started fixing me ice cream and milkshake and popcorn to on 2 minutes in and I hear. Fix u some snacks, sit back and relaxe.
The best siege ive seen on ur channel
Balance of power: "Am I a joke to you?"
My friend and I have been playing a campaign for a couple weeks and then all of a sudden it said game version differs from host and we couldn't continue the campaign..anyone have any idea how to fix that??
Mand this vid is old but the battle is epic and you're an epic narrator
just a great battle had to watch again
I think this is the greatest, most engrossing siege battle in Rome 2 I've ever seen. Ever.
