Hey guys! Sorry for the late video I had some processing problems. This is a glorious battle that comes down to the wire. Also, I will be streaming at 7pm EST tonight! www.twitch.tv/pixelatedapollo
1:12 Seven Electorates not six. These seven electorates were: 1.Archbishop of Mainz 2. Archbishop of Köln(Cologne) 3. Archbishop of Trier 4.Pfalz(Palatine of the Rhine) 5. Sachsen(Saxony) 6. Böhmen (Bohemia) 7. Brandenburg
98marcis No there were originally seven, Hanover was added later, so by the end of the Holy Roman Empire there were 8 electors, and at one point there were 9 until one was removed.
Salad Ass Wow i thought we wouldnt have that much diverse climate in the balkans! And despite bein northern, you got warmer weather lucky you hehe have a nice weekend my brother, thanks for replying!
Smarsha alemarsa don't get me wrong here is cold too. They are saying it is going to snow In a couple of days. It's just that u forget about the cold while I'm doing something interesting. Now I'm laying in bed under the blanket and I'm freezing. Greetings to you brother. :)
That's cool, I live near Trier :D And yeah, it is said to be more than 2000 years old and the oldest city of Germany. The way you pronounce Trier is on point, it's only pronounced "in a more German way" with a harsh r and a louder i if that makes sense
Epic battle!!!! Let's just say I watched the whole thing and plot twist the next day a whole tierish? Army showed up and killed the attackers with 40 casualties, that's how close it was
33:25 actually this was a common tactic, although it was done the other way around. Doppelsoldners where sent through their own pikemen against the enemy when they got to close in order to keep the distance and mantain the effectiveness of the pikemen at it's top, but perhaps the most famous (or infamous) use was during the dreaded "push of pike" when two units of pikemen engaged in close quarters combat, and both units would try to break the enemy formation sending doppelsoldners or, in the case of Spanish Tercios, Rodeleros (armed with swords and round steel shields). There is a great scene in the film Alatriste that portrays this moment very accurately.
For curious people, there were 7 electorates in the HRE, since the 14th century. In 1444, they were the king of Bohemia, the prince-archbishop of Trier, the prince-archbishop of Cologne, the prince-archbishop of Mainz, the margrave of Brandenburg, the Palatine Count of the Rhine and the duke of Saxony.
This has been the best damn scenic environment in all the videos I recall seeing so far. DAMN! Everything was down right worthy to become a picturesque painting. If I had a choice I would suggest Bob Ross to do the landscape and other environmental images while a renaissance painter comes in to create the figures fighting on that painting.
The saint on the heraldry of Trier is Saint Peter and the crossed keys are meant to refer to the metaphorical "keys" to Heaven that Jesus gives to Peter in the Gospel of Matthew. The belief during the Middle Ages was that Peter, as the head of the Church, had appointed Saint Eucharius as the first bishop of Trier and given him his crozier (the traditional bishop's staff) as the symbol of his office. This connection to Saint Peter, the "Apostolic origins" of Trier, were emphasized heavily by the various bishops of Trier in order to increase the archbishopric's prestige in relation to its rivals Mainz and Cologne. I had to write a term paper about Egbert, Archbishop of Trier (10th century) for one of my medieval history classes. :P
Tfw you go out to watch your go to channel of middle earth and napoleon battles and suddenly your hometown is under siege O.o (And actually it's snowing outside right now) Cheers from germany, keep up the good work mate PS: Like somebody allready said, the man on their amor is St. Petrus the patron saint of Trier
Hi Apollo, French fan here ! Just wondering, what music/song are you using for this wonderful siege ? 'Cause I love the music that is playing during your battles… Or is it Attila's music ?
The saint that you see on their tunic is Saint Maximinus of Trier. Like many cities at the time, they would be holding a key to represent the communication with God. Simmarlary to the Papal States which had two keys to heaven as coat of arms.
Hey Apollo, great siege! I wanted to suggest doing another battle with you playing as Scotland. It's a classic faction that is challenging to play as and no one has any videos on Scotland. You could do a historical battle like the Battle of Stirling? Or redo your bannockburn battle from m2tw in 1212ad? Or you could do a siege and just play as them lol. I'm just really wanting to see more Scottish content. You've played as England and France and all the other classics plenty but you've shown no love to Scotland lol. Please take this into consideration 😁 ALBA GU BRÀTH!
when you upload long battles what me and my dad do is we wait till mom isn't home. we get the projector out get te ining table out get our goblets out, put our log burner on and make a feast of bread and meats
I think the Saint is Saint Peter with the key for the gates of Heaven. Also, there is a St. Peters church in Trier... so... :) Could also be ST. Hubert though since he's mostly depicted with a key. ;)
Hey guys! Sorry for the late video I had some processing problems. This is a glorious battle that comes down to the wire. Also, I will be streaming at 7pm EST tonight! www.twitch.tv/pixelatedapollo
1:07 THERE WERE 7 ELECTOR STATES YOU HISTORY NOOB!
DEFENDERS NEVER WIN! EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!
Pixelated Apollo I'm interested in getting total war medieval 2 what mods would you recommend me getting?
Pixelated Apollo apollo you can get your videos reviewed for monetization.
You can't do stuff about the Nazis in your comments Apollo, can you? It's just a bit disgusting...
Knew it was going to be a good battle when Apollo says a German city correctly :p
Been to Trier irl. Can confirm that it is a frozen wasteland.
" Get some hot coco and a blankie " like + respect 100
11:05 "Heh, doo doo" + Respect 100 + Humor 100
The atmosphere of the battlefield just made this video epic!
It was very surreal.
More of these!
1:12 Seven Electorates not six. These seven electorates were:
1.Archbishop of Mainz
2. Archbishop of Köln(Cologne)
3. Archbishop of Trier
4.Pfalz(Palatine of the Rhine)
5. Sachsen(Saxony)
6. Böhmen (Bohemia)
7. Brandenburg
Manuel Müller
Lawl I said the same thing
Benny Biggums 😂
Originally there were 6 though. Bohemia was added later.
98marcis
No there were originally seven, Hanover was added later, so by the end of the Holy Roman Empire there were 8 electors, and at one point there were 9 until one was removed.
Benny Biggums there were seven, then first bavaria and then hannover got added
I believe the saint Appolo is talking about, is Saint Peter holding his key. The same keys displayed on the Papal coat of arms. The key(s) to Heaven.
Max Dijk, van yep, trier was a theocracy I think. A bishopric
I was today in Trier - and it was snowing this morning.
And there were 7 electorstate - and 3 of them were no nobles but archbishops.
Hi
i just realized that I'm sitting in a shorts and t shirt in the room with open window
Salad Ass If im not too rude, in what country do you live? here in Athens, Greece it's freezing cold :D
hey I'm just north of you in Serbia.

Salad Ass kod mene na jugu Srbije vec pao sneg pre 3-4 dana,sad kisa pada kao nenormalna ne ide mi se u skoli xD
It's St Peter on the Trier unis
beachp23 yup, the key to heaven
Yeah, I wasn't sure if Apollo was sarcastic or not
I was gonna say the pope with the key to Saint Peter's.
St Peter is basicaly the janitor/receptionist of heaven, he holds the keys and checks reservations...
Apollo should've gone to catholic school
That's cool, I live near Trier :D
And yeah, it is said to be more than 2000 years old and the oldest city of Germany.
The way you pronounce Trier is on point, it's only pronounced "in a more German way" with a harsh r and a louder i if that makes sense
Pixie poo! You blasphemous heathen! That's saint peter, with the key to the kingdom of heaven at 1:55
6:18
“And now they’re just kind of SITTING DUCKS!!”
-Lord Apollo, this November 30th, on the year of our Lord 2017
''They're using their shields, like some kinda defence'' ... jesus, u there?
OMG!!! One of the best battles that I ever seen!!!! Great content men you are the best
One of the most epic climates so far. Its too bad the mist moves with the camera
Snipingfool Yeah probably coulda turned it off to see the units better, but eh...
I like the effect, its just very unimmersive
Apollo-Sets up background for one of the most epic/cinematic battles ever - First move by defender's cavalry is the dumbest ever in total war history
"It's always a full moon, it's never like half a moon, you know it's it's ah... Anyways here's a Catapult!"
best way to dodge a bullet
Went to trier this summer, absolutely beautiful
Holy sh*t! the thumbnail game is on point!
best total war shots 2017.The battle in the breach looked like a trench.Amazing
That was one hell of a battle. Wow.
Epic battle!!!! Let's just say I watched the whole thing and plot twist the next day a whole tierish? Army showed up and killed the attackers with 40 casualties, that's how close it was
that was good as it is cold in U.K and trying to snow too in places
This is my favorite Total War Attila battle I've seen yet! Thanks Apollo!
48:35 The little eye-symbol on the unit banner shows that they are hidden.
**Still no Snow in Southern Sweden :( **
Same here in Northern Wisconsin
Swedistan***
Such edge, Much original
Soon man we Will have it soon
Well, but there is a lot of snow here in southern Germany actually
33:25 actually this was a common tactic, although it was done the other way around.

Jorge Allthedrums great history’s
Do you know who all Trier fought during the medieval times?
Epic Background music. Rhythm with the swords!
Thats funny I live near Trier like half an hour away
mr. Toasti as do I, where do you live?
I currently live in Trier XD
mr. Toasti best get your armor on! I hear a Brabantian army is headed your way. It's going to be a long, bloody, frosty winter.
Apollo you do really bring the sense of the battle to the viewers. Great job. Nice to be one of you're knights of Apollo.
“End Them Rightly”
-Skallagrim (2015)
What suprised me is that both players are so depending on Crossbows, while I usually don't use any missle units at all when playing MKTW...

Battles have always reminded me of chess game, but this one particularly did !
Apollo, you deserve so many more subscribers, I love watching you.
30:40 explaining what Bannerlord is, 2 years before Bannerlord.
Never a good idea to expose yourself during battle, especially when it's so cold out!
I haven’t seen one of your battles in a while, but I can truly say this was a great great battle. Well fought!
This is 7 years old, yet I think it's still one of the best replays to this day
This has been the best damn scenic environment in all the videos I recall seeing so far. DAMN! Everything was down right worthy to become a picturesque painting. If I had a choice I would suggest Bob Ross to do the landscape and other environmental images while a renaissance painter comes in to create the figures fighting on that painting.
After a bad day, nothing better than a Pixellated Apollo's Video to get it better!
Wow, a real heart-in-mouth end. Great video!
this made me realize how much we need a total war medieval 3, imagine this on a new engine...
Ahhhh... This never gets old!
Arrzen Fox couldn't tie his own shoe laces.. Let alone send an email.
Ouf
hahaha
hahahhaha XD

This battle was so tense.. I held my breath for so long I choked!!
#defendersneverwin

Never been so early :D now LETS GIVE THE COLD KNIGHTS SOME VIEWS AND LIKES
Hey Apollo ! I'm from France, and today is the day I turn 18 ! I must give you my deepest thanks for you're videos, love'em !
I would assume the saint with the key is Saint Peter? (just the guy who holds the key to heaven xD)
As one army said to the other: "Don't be so cross-bow"... I'll take my leave
Aye, it is cold.... because I live up north! (Of England) So if it’s not cold and/or raining there’s something wrong
Meh Dad says that north peeps are scum? true or not?
K lol :)
Hi
@@jackkirkwood6309 they'd kick your arse son is what they'd do lol
If it can rain then it's not cold lol
During the 2nd half of the battle i thought the defenders would win this one but the attacker did a great job !!! ;)
what an epic battle, Apollo!
Tfw you go out to watch your go to channel of middle earth and napoleon battles and suddenly your hometown is under siege O.o (And actually it's snowing outside right now)
Cheers from germany, keep up the good work mate
PS: Like somebody allready said, the man on their amor is St. Petrus the patron saint of Trier
You rock! I love your channel!
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen
Lmao "warm me up with your views and your likes", great videos btw, really enjoying watching these battles.
One of the best I've seen. Very good battle.
Hi Apollo, French fan here ! Just wondering, what music/song are you using for this wonderful siege ? 'Cause I love the music that is playing during your battles… Or is it Attila's music ?
30:50 - mount and blades bannerlord
The saint that you see on their tunic is Saint Maximinus of Trier. Like many cities at the time, they would be holding a key to represent the communication with God. Simmarlary to the Papal States which had two keys to heaven as coat of arms.
Seriously I forgot that this was a mod and was just a stand alone game😂
Hi, the saint some of them are wearing is the patron saint of Trier. It is Petrus (St. Peter). Legends say he really visited Trier....
A saint holding a key? That's Peter.
1 hour and 11 minutes of pure madness ! I forgot my name during the battle. I was so in ! :D Thanks a lot ! #proudtobeaknightofapollo
1:05 There were Seven Elector states, and as you said religious because most Imeperial Free cities were ran by an Archbishop.
I’ve been in Trier, it’s a nice looking city
That ideal game is coming and is called Mount & Blade: Bannerlord :)
the intro music makes me think of some ww2 movies
Hey Apollo, great siege! I wanted to suggest doing another battle with you playing as Scotland. It's a classic faction that is challenging to play as and no one has any videos on Scotland. You could do a historical battle like the Battle of Stirling? Or redo your bannockburn battle from m2tw in 1212ad? Or you could do a siege and just play as them lol. I'm just really wanting to see more Scottish content. You've played as England and France and all the other classics plenty but you've shown no love to Scotland lol. Please take this into consideration 😁 ALBA GU BRÀTH!
Watching this in 2021. When Apollo says that Trier is there to protect the vote, I got some PTSD
It is saint Peter because he has the keys 🔑 to heaven
Cup of steamin hot coffee? Check Big fluffy blanket? Check
SkyHighGuys I got a warm ass room and a big fluffy. Blanket
when you upload long battles what me and my dad do is we wait till mom isn't home. we get the projector out get te ining table out get our goblets out, put our log burner on and make a feast of bread and meats
7:54 automatically subbed

Congrats on 400k btw i've been busy :D
That thumbnail is amazing
Coco check, blancie check, comfie checkerino im readyyy to figh... watch
Don't kid yourself, Trier threw away their cavalry
I think the Saint is Saint Peter with the key for the gates of Heaven. Also, there is a St. Peters church in Trier... so... :)
Could also be ST. Hubert though since he's mostly depicted with a key. ;)
Love the content
Pixy, can you just not have the best openings ever.
my body can only handle so much adrenaline
.
Apollo you wouldn't fight with anything less than a full moon generally because it's the only time you'd have enough light to fight.
love your video!!
Looks like summer over there.
that is st. peter holding the keys to heaven
but people allready wrote that, sorry
Omg 2nd time I go for defenders and they lose. I’m so pissed now.
24:17 soldiers be like... "aw f*ck!"
