they are, its just while theyr moving, it seems archers have trouble hitting them half the time... ive seen them get melted by archers too, so its really a situational thing..., i think we might remove 1 hitpoint from them to nerf alittle...
lol i wish xD, and nono kurogurochan found chariots hidden in the files lol, probably werent implemented because of the glitch of the guy floating in the back xD
Rhun had the smaller, less elite army, and they were forced to literally sacrifice their best unit along side some of their cav, just because... And there were not even good choke points to hold or a place to retreat their crossbowmen (who got chewed up by gondorian archers and light infantry) , or so it looked like it from your POV. I had no reason to believe that Rhun would have any chance of winning this, even from the start and after seeing those OP chariots. #Rhunlivesmatter
A small lore correction: You said that there was an alliance of Rhun and the Wainriders. The Easterlings weren't a single kingdom, like Gondor or Arnor. The easterlings put simply, are all men east of the sea of Rhun. There are several different clans there, but of course we'll never know. The wainriders were one of the more important of the easterlings in Tolkiens universe; but still: they are easterlings.
Pretty sure the Haradrim don't count as "easterlings". I've always viewed them as being a seperate people, as well as that they've been influenced by black numenoreans. As for Khand, yeah I guess. It's a shame we'll never know more about the easterlings and the east. For all we knows, the Dwarves of the orocarni may have been fighting them themselves, or there may be undiscovered civilisation still around hildorien, or even in the dark lands and the lands of the sun, (assuming the land of the sun still exist after the reshaping of Arda).
Pixelated Apollo I have two suggestions for battles 1. Battle of Fords of Isen, where Theodens son died 2. Battle of Osgiliath but when boromir retook it before going to rivendell
Just noticed that one of your videos the great war already got over 1 million views. Been a sub when there was only a couple thousands subs. Just want to say congratulations and continue what you are doing. All the best and may the god of the siege Bebolaapi provide you with views of wondrous fiery balls of death to enjoy.
Kind of nonsensical for the Easterlings to "have" to attack the Gondorians though? I mean, shouldn't it be the other way around? With the Easterlings desperately trying to defend their camp from the attacking Southern Army? Cavalry and chariots desperately trying to gain some mobility advantage, clumps of troops on either side falling prey to archers, low-tier but highly veteran units on both sides to represent scraped-together Gondorians experienced from fighting off the Haradrim and the Joe-schmoe Easterling settler with some fighting experience from slaughtering the (if I remember correctly) larger Northern Army? Sorry if I seem kind of whiny here, it's just that the intense rivalry between the Easterlings, the Haradrim, the Black Numenoreans and the people of Gondor in the mid-Third Age is one of my favourite aspects of LotR lore. Just my two cents :P
Aaah... That makes a lot more sense. Still, I was hoping for the Gondorians to rush the Easterlings from the start and in general be very aggressive :)
hey Apollo you just earned another knight i was curious about total war games and the commentaries of battles you give are awesome good work and keep it up the real life applications are questionable with these games but use of real historical tactics are amazing i only know modern tactics myself but you made a fan out of me and my sons if you need us we will be binge watching the rest of your library lol
ah nice u did the battle of the camp xD, btw, did u see the dead marshes behind the camp? i was hoping u would see it, i should have probably mentioned that to you in the mail lol :3 was just a little immersive touch to this battle. but yeah always fun to watch your commentary, you seem to love thirdage, which is whats important i think ^^.
You can't always focus on the breathtaking scenery my friend......because nothing outreaches the beauty of death....well maybe a dancing soldier in the face of death....
+Synn of the DarkCloud I have a one little questeion for you and your crew. From where can I download this mod for an actual Steam version? I played it years ago and I want to return to the game. All versions I found are out of date or does not work. I'd apreciate if you find also a Polish translation if it still exists.
...That was actually pretty accurate. In the lore, the general of the retreating Northern army, Minohtar, was slain in Ithilien right before the South army attacked. Faramir's death accurately reflected that.
+The Elven Centurion "The Wainriders were people, or s confederacy of many peoples, that came from the East; but they were stronger and better armed than any that had appeared before. They journeyed in great wains, and their chieftains fought in chariots" (Tolkien, the Lord of the Rings: Appendix A, iv Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion).
There is mod for mtw2 named medieval 2 battleaxe.I like it because some factions gets access to a gunpowder unit called GUNNERS. The cool thing about them is that they actually fire their guns like we want them to.They are OP.
11:22 Bill Clinton impersonation is on point right there - also, if youre interested in more LotR "historical" battles, check out the battle lore videos of Arachîr Galudirithon (yeah thats his channel name), theyre perfect to listen to in the background, very podcast-esque
Hey guys, I was just wondering what submods you would recommend for Third Age. I'm mostly looking to play the campaign, which I would like to run with minimal crashing. I was looking at the 'Massive Overhaul' mod, but I couldn't find anywhere mentioning if it fixed the campaign crashing if reinforcements joins a siege battle. I'm hoping someone can help me out, thanks!
MOS offers a lot of nice scripts that are quite enjoyable but i prefer Divide & Conquer which offers more factions and nice units. But you could give both a try and see for yourself.
Kreddi The turn times in MOS can take a bit due to the amount of scripts i think but i never really had problems with crashing. DaC also offers a stable campaign. The only issue atm is the battle AI but i think they'll soon release the patch to fix that problem. Other than that i really enjoy it.
Son of Imladris DaC sounds more like something I'd enjoy. If the issue with battle AI is it's kinda dumb I'm fine with that, it can still look cinematic, even with stupid army movement.
Man brilliant, beautiful wonderful fight. Also I giggled so hard at the idea of Bill Clinton in the shire. "I did not have sexual relations with Belladonna Took."
those chariots are absolutely ridiculous, they would break upon the first charge through the lines, they simply ignore all force and seemingly kill all they touch
heavy chariots were used like heavy cavalry at one point in history, which these chariots are semi- modeled after, however i do agree that we made them too op, well have to nerf them ^^.
hey man, third age is getting a little old, think you could spice it up a bit with some divide and conquer, Beginning of the end times, vanilla medieval idk
Hey Pixelated Apollo theres this new free game on steam, its pretty muvh like if mount and blade had an adopted asian sister, it called Tiger Knight: Empire War, i was thinking that it would be cool to do an episode on it or even a series if you like it
PA, show a one sided battle wheres theres no hope. But the losing side makes a maracules recovery and wins. I've watched alot of your video's, but can't recall any. Thanks
Yes. The southern army defeated the Haradrim and marched to the north after their victory. If you want to know more about the battle i suggest checking out Arachîr Galudirithon's lore videos on the battles. Quite interesting to watch.
My day is never complete until I watch one of Apollo's new videos, keep it up! pretty much my favourite gaming channel on TH-cam
The next scenario will be huuUuuge!
KuroGuroChan expand please ;)
KuroGuroChan can't wait.
Chariots OP as fuck
1 jawelin unit reks them in pieces ;)
Xavier Linnebank hmmm good to know! Thanks!
Greg Evershed where do you download this mod?
SMG GAMING No idea probably Total War Center
found it, thanks tho
Thank you for releasing videos everyday. It fits exactly into my lunch break. You're my favorite TH-camr. Thanks for all your hard work.
The chariots should be more vulnerable to archer fire.
they are, its just while theyr moving, it seems archers have trouble hitting them half the time... ive seen them get melted by archers too, so its really a situational thing..., i think we might remove 1 hitpoint from them to nerf alittle...
wait synn did you make third age? O.O or is the chariot just some kind of sub mod you made for third age
lol i wish xD, and nono kurogurochan found chariots hidden in the files lol, probably werent implemented because of the glitch of the guy floating in the back xD
oh ok :C i thought i was being smart for once feelsbadman
Герасим Си
3 good videos in 1.5 days OOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH, thanks PA i just can't play anymore you give me hope man :')
wait 1.5 videos in 3 days? how do you make half a video
nooo i mean in 1 day and a half he made 3 good videos :D
oh rip
Rhun had the smaller, less elite army, and they were forced to literally sacrifice their best unit along side some of their cav, just because... And there were not even good choke points to hold or a place to retreat their crossbowmen (who got chewed up by gondorian archers and light infantry) , or so it looked like it from your POV. I had no reason to believe that Rhun would have any chance of winning this, even from the start and after seeing those OP chariots. #Rhunlivesmatter

The wainriders were one of the more important of the easterlings in Tolkiens universe; but still: they are easterlings.
oh ok cool!
Makaveli Yep, the Haradrim, the Khandians and the Rhunic Tribes
Apollo's reply get's more likes than the correction: that's how you know the fanboys are active :P
Pretty sure the Haradrim don't count as "easterlings". I've always viewed them as being a seperate people, as well as that they've been influenced by black numenoreans. As for Khand, yeah I guess.

Makaveli EVERYONE SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT
Great video! I'm always glad to see your lotr historical battles! Also I was glad to see Gondor win...finally...
I enjoy watching the great siege battles you put on but seeing these shorter videos is amazing as well
Can we have divide and conquer soon? I really want to see more factions
i dont have any replays unfortunately
Pixelated Apollo you missed out the name of the new king on bottom of screen
Pixelated Apollo I have two suggestions for battles
1. Battle of Fords of Isen, where Theodens son died
2. Battle of Osgiliath but when boromir retook it before going to rivendell
Pixelated Apollo Ok sorry.
Uploaded this video on my birthday!!! Thanks Apollo!
I always love these custom scenarios. They are very interesting. Keep up the good work Apollo :)
I love the background beginning music and I love your vids Apollo!
Just noticed that one of your videos the great war already got over 1 million views. Been a sub when there was only a couple thousands subs.

Just my two cents :P
it was the easterlings chariots and cavalry subjected to that rule, in order to buy their main army time to form up for the battle
Aaah... That makes a lot more sense. Still, I was hoping for the Gondorians to rush the Easterlings from the start and in general be very aggressive :)
the flanking forced did exactly that, and the main force had to hold strategically against the cav... i get what ure saying, we tried ^^
Ah, Third Age. Always a pleasure, thanks :)
great video man, love the chariots!
Think I'll have a look at this video and then continue trashing Rhun in my Dorwinion campaign lol #goodevening
you are my favorite youtuber and good job in everything
this was not fair
hey Apollo you just earned another knight i was curious about total war games and the commentaries of battles you give are awesome good work and keep it up the real life applications are questionable with these games but use of real historical tactics are amazing i only know modern tactics myself but you made a fan out of me and my sons if you need us we will be binge watching the rest of your library lol
+Cody Stottlemyre thanks man :D
Pixelated Apollo your videos are awesome. Keep up the good work. (suggestion) do the Battle of the field of Celebrant.
ah nice u did the battle of the camp xD, btw, did u see the dead marshes behind the camp? i was hoping u would see it, i should have probably mentioned that to you in the mail lol :3 was just a little immersive touch to this battle.
but yeah always fun to watch your commentary, you seem to love thirdage, which is whats important i think ^^.
Synn of the DarkCloud same hahaha
You can't always focus on the breathtaking scenery my friend......because nothing outreaches the beauty of death....well maybe a dancing soldier in the face of death....
Synn of the DarkCloud how do you guys make these awesome scenarios, if I may ask?
uhm.. by enabling the scenario editor in the files. i advise u google it if you want to learn how, too much to write on a TH-cam comment for me...
+Synn of the DarkCloud I have a one little questeion for you and your crew. From where can I download this mod for an actual Steam version? I played it years ago and I want to return to the game. All versions I found are out of date or does not work. I'd apreciate if you find also a Polish translation if it still exists.
omg yes awesome battle and finally a battle where gondor wins in on of your video do more with gondor in battles love their gondor infantry
If you attack the chariots from behind with Calvary then you can easily take them out. I found that out fighting Egypt in Rome Total War😜
lmao this guy Became king 'Happy Meal"
I need more of Third Age!
...That was actually pretty accurate. In the lore, the general of the retreating Northern army, Minohtar, was slain in Ithilien right before the South army attacked. Faramir's death accurately reflected that.
The music was epic !!🙌🙌
Historically chariots were not in the battle in the words of Tolkien himself
?
KuroGuroChan in the books Aragorn talked about the battle and chariots were not present according to Aragorn
KuroGuroChan either way good work
+The Elven Centurion "The Wainriders were people, or s confederacy of many peoples, that came from the East; but they were stronger and better armed than any that had appeared before. They journeyed in great wains, and their chieftains fought in chariots" (Tolkien, the Lord of the Rings: Appendix A, iv Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion).
Aragorn was born 1000 years later Wainriders were defeated.
could you play Tiger knights? That would be awesome
Pixelated Apollo: "Hmm, I sounded like Bill Clinton there."
That line alone made this entire video even more enjoyable. :D
hahaha
hi
There is mod for mtw2 named medieval 2 battleaxe.I like it because some factions gets access to a gunpowder unit called GUNNERS. The cool thing about them is that they actually fire their guns like we want them to.They are OP.
Their are actually lines from the movie spoken by Boromir in the background
one hell of a battle but those chariots were ridiculous
In the actual battle it was 30,000 gondor vs 40,000 easterlings- interesting how the scenario creator gave about 300 more men to the gondor.
That back story is in the "Unfinished Tales" novel
Legend has it that if you reply as early king Apollo will reply!
Need some Dale love! They are so cool!
We did a scenario but i think Apollo had problems recording it. I don't know if he got it to work but i also hope to see that battle one day :D
siege battles dont work for me,when I pick a map it doesnt load up only the countryside..please help
you said there would be links in the description for more info on the battle.
Those chariots may be a smidge OP. :-P
what's the music at the start?
i wish that you could do a 1 hour third age battle.
Although it is a historical battle once more defenders defated. But to see good guys attacking after for a long long time was nice.
awesome video
Are you going to try out Tiger Knight: Empire War?
can u do some battles of the seven kingdoms mod for game of thrones sometimes and still do third age
name of the song at the beggining?
very nice video:)
ahhh its all ways nice to come home and see a custom scenario, 20min!!!! FUUUUUU
11:22 Bill Clinton impersonation is on point right there - also, if youre interested in more LotR "historical" battles, check out the battle lore videos of Arachîr Galudirithon (yeah thats his channel name), theyre perfect to listen to in the background, very podcast-esque
Chariots are way too good, they wiped out half an army with 3-4 units.
Hey guys, I was just wondering what submods you would recommend for Third Age.
I'm mostly looking to play the campaign, which I would like to run with minimal crashing. I was looking at the 'Massive Overhaul' mod, but I couldn't find anywhere mentioning if it fixed the campaign crashing if reinforcements joins a siege battle.
I'm hoping someone can help me out, thanks!
MOS offers a lot of nice scripts that are quite enjoyable but i prefer Divide & Conquer which offers more factions and nice units. But you could give both a try and see for yourself.
Son of Imladris Do they both do well when it comes to stability? I'd gladly sacrifice a few units or factions if it meant a more stable experience.
Kreddi The turn times in MOS can take a bit due to the amount of scripts i think but i never really had problems with crashing. DaC also offers a stable campaign. The only issue atm is the battle AI but i think they'll soon release the patch to fix that problem. Other than that i really enjoy it.
Son of Imladris DaC sounds more like something I'd enjoy.
If the issue with battle AI is it's kinda dumb I'm fine with that, it can still look cinematic, even with stupid army movement.
Man brilliant, beautiful wonderful fight. Also I giggled so hard at the idea of Bill Clinton in the shire. "I did not have sexual relations with Belladonna Took."
can you please show off more ambushes like this?
were these chariots reskinned ents, and thats why they made the sound of ents? were they behaving like war elephants?
It would be cool to see a custom senario of a Gondor Civil War or something.
its actually not possible in a custom scenario to have the same faction on different teams... with the way its encoded.
Synn of the DarkCloud Oh, bummer. Thanks anyway
But we can have a scenario pitting two good factions against each other... Blue Dwarves vs Sindar Elves in Doriath anyone?
apollo cant you do a live match in third age please ps love your videos keep up the good work man.
nice video appolo
I wonder how good swan knights are.are they as good as lule gamp rim ?
The Chariot much more frightening than the elephant.
plizz make one video of installation of third age+ medieval 2 total war ...
Hey Apollo don't forget about that stainless steel general who took out like 24 men with only 4 body guard.
rise of modor?
i doubt that will be out anytime soon
Dhananjay Sharma where is the links for info pixe
Hey Apollo,whens more of the Seven kingdoms mod or even Divide and Conquer,would love to see them again.
what the red colour over the units mean?
Those Chariots were insanely OP, completely ridiculous sorry Apollo
those chariots are absolutely ridiculous, they would break upon the first charge through the lines,
they simply ignore all force and seemingly kill all they touch
heavy chariots were used like heavy cavalry at one point in history, which these chariots are semi- modeled after, however i do agree that we made them too op, well have to nerf them ^^.
yaaaaah another third age total war 👍👍👍👍
The battle starts 5:32 everyone
if I get charged by Rohan it would look awesome

It is an awesome mod, but In my opinion there is just too much of it
wait my friend wait for it
honestly there is no way to make everyone happy, so im just going to upload what I want

awesome apollo
Some balancing issues with the chariots? Those things are op as fuck
Hey Pixelated Apollo theres this new free game on steam, its pretty muvh like if mount and blade had an adopted asian sister, it called Tiger Knight: Empire War, i was thinking that it would be cool to do an episode on it or even a series if you like it

Loved it.
What was the kill count for those chariots?
Wow I just read about this before I saw this
Guys i need help i start third age but if crashes

Do some of you guys know if this was the time where the Haradrim attacked from the south at the Same Time the Wainriders Came from the east?
Yes. The southern army defeated the Haradrim and marched to the north after their victory. If you want to know more about the battle i suggest checking out Arachîr Galudirithon's lore videos on the battles. Quite interesting to watch.
OMFG the charriots are op af
The war chariots are OP.
