@@omri6938 True, I would rather hoping they can fix some bugs and issues of current Shogun 2, and even make some graphics update. Just my dream tho lol...
Aah man these battles are criminally short, i agree. So much awesome carnage and struggles in 20 minutes. Its like joint vs billy. The devs like "yeah, i can't role.. so"
General Advise for Siege battles in Shogun 2: 1. On the first half of the battle, Attackers will usually start off with a skirmish battle. This will help to soften up the Melee defenders in the settlement. This is because Units inside the castle have very strong morale compared on being on the field. That is why you don't see them charging their units very early in the game, you'll need to kill 200/200 before moving on to the stage, and this will be time consuming and risky as you're gonna get skirmished by the defenders on the upper levels. Even if you have quality units, it doesn't matter if they don't have enough men to kill. Even the weakest unit for the defenders will have infite morale in the castle center. You should start climbing latest by the 10th minute of the game, any later than that will lower your chances of winning. 2. For defending, Your job is to stall as much time as possible. You have a smaller fund compared to the attackers, this will only allow you to field lower quality units. That doesn't matter cuz you have infinite morale anyway. You need to have enough Melee troops to defend the last stage of the battle. Guns will be most effective unit for inner defence as they can bring down enemy morale and kill armored units faster than bows. 3. Defending Generals are not the most useful in sieges (you have infinite morale inside the castle). Unless you have good buffs/debuffs skills to use, use your generals sally out as much as possible.
Hey I was in this one! (OoFaMisM). I was the one who told Man of Culture 69 to submit it to you. I used a lot of police force because of their strength in melee so I can charge them in while still having many guns.
"What just happened?" Yeah thats what happens when the walls explode from artillery fire. "What is that artillery" Naval Bombardment by the looks of things?
Apollo! I used to watch you every day in grade 9 10 and 11, and im in my first year of college and just started watching again! Keep up the good work brother 🙏

I honestly love the shogun2 resurgence. I also watch heir of carthage but after he started making lots of warhammer content ( u mentioned him once) I stopped bc i like historic but now I'm STOKED! For all the shogun2 content
I too have some awesome replays from Shogun 2, I have sent them in your discord dms, one of them is super close while other has a good use of tactics, also if you are liking Man of Culture's replays he's there in both of those replays, you would love them, Apollo. Thanks Suggestion- after ending replay and in results screen, you can press on kills so that it shows descending order kills, thereby showing most killing units on top for all players
Wait...I know u. U r the HACKER that Shogun 2 Chats talking about recently aren't ya? They even showed your cheating units' sceenshots lol. Dud stop posting your dishonourable replays to PA SHAMEFUR DISPLAY
I like how you said " 20 mins in the GOOD total wars is not much " Def historical TW series are way coolers for me and I wish we could get some more of them.
didnt know this video existed till now. haha, this is MR Charge, or ``mr change`` as u called me 😁 i wish our last team mate played a bit better, but very fun game in general
I just got shogun 2 and am playing my first campaign as the Oda clan. After conquering most of central Japan and half of the north all my vassals, allies, and other factions joined with the shogun and all declared war on me. Now I’m fighting alone against all of Japan and I’m losing territory fast including my capitals. If anyone has any ideas let me know
Spam ashigaru units. They are cheaper and stronger than those of the other clans. Use massive armies of yari ashigaru in yari wall. Let them march against the enemy formations in that formation and they will kill every other unit in melee. For Support you can spam ashigaru archers and a few naginata samurai or something like that to protect your flanks. But ashigaru are the way to win the game.
Don't rush your Early-mid game Economy. Just before the realm divide(RD), Hold your conquest and do not fill up your fame by not taking any more settlements. A mistake that most beginners do is that they just rush everything to the end. During the mid game before RD, You'd want to build up a very strong economy that does not rely on trade. Use that time to build up relationships with other factions and gain capital from them through trade, cuz you wont be trading with them later on. This might be boring as you won;t be fighting a lot this time, but it will ensure that you would be able to build up enough armies to hold off invasions from various factions. You would want 2-3 strong naval armies holding off each side of the map. You need to have at least 1 professional army, 1 mixed ashigaru/samurai. and 1 half stack army to support. You may need to train a temporary army if the enemy somehow lands their army via sea. In short, NO RUSHING, BUILD YOUR ECONOMY FIRST, SECURE FLANKS, AUTO RESOLVE your way to victory.
Remember my first time getting realm divide, I’d say keep the provinces that you deem important by having a garrison and keep an eye on the Map since the enemy will try to invade by landing units on the shores.
@@asiankoala8465 my first Shogun 2 campaign was with Hattori. The most difficult clan because I did not read the description. The realm divide had a massive impact because of the more expensive troops of the clan. I managed to conquer enough provinces to get a stable economy back and managed to conquer all of Japan. But because I was caughed in surprise by realm divide, it took me over 200 turns. Later with the Oda, I had build my economy compleatly around the realm divide event and conquered all 68 provinces in 60 turns. Now 2000 hours, of the game, later, I still don't like to play Otomo or Date but I will forever love the Hattori and Oda for the two best total war campaigns I've ever played.

‘in the good total wars’ made me crack up
Love shogun 2 and Fots, the way they mix meele (rome style) , gimmicky and ranged combat is awesome.
this is honestly the best battle replay i've ever seen of shogun 2.
Apollo! I used to watch you every day in grade 9 10 and 11, and im in my first year of college and just started watching again! Keep up the good work brother 🙏
I love seeing and hearing your passion for the game again
Man , the attackers still had a ton left after conquering the whole castle , with the general cav just watching by far .
Battles like this make me want to go back to shogun 2(except the weird blood effects) but then when I do go back, I almost die from boredom.
In NTW3, 20 minutes... Is just the skirmish phase.

@@zeroa6m782 also I have played with Apollo already on stream and defeated him honorably despite his team having much superior players
His last shogun 2 video 😞
THE ANTZ GO MARCHING ONE BY ONE HOORAH, HOORAH!
We will give them hearty welcome
the unit that was used to general snipe was the hand mortars ( it happens around 11:00 minuets in
11:23
I like how you said " 20 mins in the GOOD total wars is not much "
Def historical TW series are way coolers for me and I wish we could get some more of them.
Did anyone else catch the name of the General's Hashimoto unit that did the sally-out at 3:40?
I've been hooked on shogun 2 cuz of apollo's videos lol
Good stuff! Quick bloody, and awesome!
"ah i see you're a man of culture as well"
Says “In the good total wars” as I’m playing warhammer 3
Shogun 2 is actually so sick
Pixie knows about the Seahawks but not the Sounders. Interesting.
isn't that most people?...
@@thekillers1stfan not me, I know about the Seahawks the Sounders (huge fan by the way) and the SeaWolves, the 'new' Rugby team in Seattle.
Oh dang this new I was just looking for this total war
Thankyou for the great video as always
I hope one day you can do another shogun 2 H2H Apollo!!! I enjoyed your one against Jackiefish a lot.
Also the cavalry sally out at the beginning was the general. Not a very smart defender lol.
The troops have infinite moral anyway so you don't really need the general in a siege battle as a defender
@@one_vegan_boi1097 Wrong, only one the last level.
Hey Apollo could you please tell me what your graphics settings are on Shogun 2? Tysm
Looking for a gaming laptop to play total war games mainly. Any suggestions
BURNING EMBERS is my FAWKING METAL BAND Djuu Djuuu *tsk tsk*
is there a way to mod the time? cuz 20 minutes sucks
You can only modify it in single player mode(campaign), and yeah that sucks tho.
didnt know this video existed till now. haha, this is MR Charge, or ``mr change`` as u called me 😁 i wish our last team mate played a bit better, but very fun game in general
