Rome was on the rise, having just subjugated Egypt and expanded their control over the Mediterranean. However, this did not sit well with Kush, who was a long time rival of Egypt and even assisted Rome in their conquest. But when Rome failed to honor most of the deals they made with Kush about land consolidation, Kush decided to get back at Rome. To do this, they sent an offer to Carthage for help, who was more than eager to deny Rome more control in the Mediterranean. They also beseeched the Ardiaei for help too, who's pirating of the naval shipping lanes are being choked out as Rome expands more. Rome soon hear reports of a Kushite and Carthaginian armies marching towards them with an Ardiaei fleet sailing along the coast and staying close to the Carthaginians. Knowing that they need help, Rome call on their vassals of Athens and Nabatea to come to their aid, and they all meet up at the port city of Alexandria. As the Athenian forces finally landed and all forces gathered, Roman troops on the walls can see the armies of Kush, Carthage, and Ardiaei on the horizon. As both armies make siege preparations, it is clear that the fate of Rome's control of Egypt starts here.....
I do love how all these battles show you, why battles didn't happen in real life when people were that evenly matched. Cuz so many casualties on both sides. Attackers would just wait outside for a few months
I'm shouting you out in my steam review. I loved this game, but I never really understood why my battles were always close or why I would lose battles I had the advantage in until I started watching your siege battles. Keep the content coming.
Love your videos Apollo. You got me back into playing OG RTW agaib and I opened a game where I was playing as the Greeks...which I thought was cool considering your new playthrough on the remastered. Keep em coming.
How does this dude not have 1 million subs!?!? Please share! this is one of the most worthy you tubers! also more lotr please? I have been watching Pixalated Apollo since he started, gata love this guy!
Love the battles more than playing them on my self 😅I sent you a battle to on mail and I know you would love it! Thanks that you are still doing that;)
Pretty sure Apollo would be an amazing general in the old days. Humble enough to know that Kush helped him out, and Smart enough to point out exactly *how*.
Apollo here is a little tip for Hoplites when you charge them into combat or hold position put them in Hoplite Wall so they last longer and harder to kill and they can get like 100, 200 or even more kills
If you wanna flank make sure you have another unit cover the back of the flanking unit if you have with what and olso space for it and you definetly had
Apollo I really think you should do more Divide et Impera content, some of the units and changes that mod makes can create interesting battles. Please consider this :D
Please leave streams on the chanel after they end.
Look at the very bottom of my channel main page. I have a playlist called “Live Streams” you can find the video there

Awesome man!
Absolutely beautiful
35:30 "move up!" "Oh you should have just said so" *unit moves up* perfect timing
Yea and he didn't say anything about it lol.

Attackers would just wait outside for a few months
It did happen, it was just very rare, and in this case casualties were horrible, but especially on the attacker side
Look up a video about the Siege of Jerusalem by the Romans (If im not mistaken) gets you a good image how bloody and desperate sieges can get.
Ah you missed my super cav charge in the back, killing like 200 archers. You can see them die at 27:55, thats why i didnt look at my pikemen.
he also failed to comment on the hits his units took at the very start lol
I enjoyed playing this game so much!!! Perks of being an Apollo Knight
Knight

33:11 Athenians not fighting in formation Romans fighting in formation and one leaves the formation
The Centurion:Pulo get back in formation
Had to watch it like 3 times but it happens
Get back in formation you drunken fool
Pullo! Single formation!
26:18 that romans shoulder got literally obliterated and it exploded with blood but the guy is like 'tis but a scratch
Apollo start insulting the helmets of my ancestors
Me: why are we here just to suffer
This doesn’t even make sense
@@RESIST_THE_GREAT_REPLACEMENT Im sure its just your minus IQ or lack of common sense.
Pixelated Apollo: look at this combo
soldier headbutting: yeah!
Pixelated Apollo: Romans and Athens cool!
Soldier headbutting: ohh *cries*
This battle helped demonstrate Apollo’s Insane FLANKING job, great battle well fought!
I love how humble you are when playing or reacting replays.. keep it up apollo, you are doing great!!
By far the best gameplay I’ve seen you do Apollo, 11/10
Nice video man sorry I missed some your videos been hella busy but I'm glade to have time to watch this great video
Rome II never gets old
Love the use of the sections easy to follow the battle!

Great to see another quality vid from pixie
Apollo immediately finds the trees glitching out so funny 😂
I just love these napoleon 3 Two kingdoms gameplay 😇
My favorite videos are your Rome 2 videos
Love your videos
Love you man
"But most importantly...it has...floating...palm trees" ahaha
Woooow what a cool fight

You forgot to add pharaoh to that god like list and great vid Apollo keep up the amazing work!😃
That was a good battle nice and messy with the armies mingling together in a fighting blob
That was an awesome battle, almost makes me want to play Rome 2.
Let's gets this man to a million subs by new years. He deserves it.
Pretty sure Apollo would be an amazing general in the old days. Humble enough to know that Kush helped him out, and Smart enough to point out exactly *how*.
Good work Apollo with the Ardiaei is one of the more challenging factions
Epic video! Definitely go with potato helmets...that works. 😆
ahhh so relaxing And apollo Im with my Siege pants.
LOL the trees
The thumbnail never leave me disappointed
Was fun playing with you Apollo :)
Nice vido bro
Pls make more Rome 2 siege battle ❤️❤️💯
I enjoyed watching the game on stream, now I can also hear it!
All hail the floating palm tree , may you bless us for a good video
Apollo: get flanked romans
Romans: uno reverse card
Apollo: I don't care another unit flank them
Damn end of the clock win nice
That floating tree omen is right outta Macbeth.
It's time for ROme
0:3 yes am ready!

Crispy siege battle
Soldier: General! The trees!
General: Are the gods trying to tell us something? Are they laughing at us?
Me:
Marian and Pre-Marian Romans in the same battle. What a chaotic joke.
I caught the stream, epic battle!
at 35:28 one hoplite is like
hey apollo
All hail the floating trees of wisdom and battle!
I love yesterday siege battle apollo playing Sparta
Finally we see Attackers winning
Yo apollo I was kush in yesterday’s last match had so much fun playing with you❤️
Love this game ! And I don't even have it just watch Apollo .
been watching since 09, i still love it
His first vid was seven years ago what?
@@roguenugget242im pretty sure it wasnt
Go check my guy it was seven years ago
@@roguenugget242 my bad, but the point i was getting at was that apollo is still amazing from the first time i watched him
Ye
Journey to 1 million is real!
finaly some game sound
If you wanna flank make sure you have another unit cover the back of the flanking unit if you have with what and olso space for it and you definetly had
apreciate apollo for playing Illyrians for the first time in his videos
You are the best
Subbed❤️
You may have outflanked my outflanking! But I outflanked your outflanking of my outflanking!
35:20 audio line up perfectly
I love Rome 2 !!!!!!
When I see that one side is Rome i already know who is going to win
Greek campaign please! Been waiting haha
Would love to join in one of these massive battles but man I think I'd be rusty, more of a hinderance lol.
I’d like to play in these siege battles so bad 🙂🥺
I love Rome 2
Idk why but I've never seen those seige engines
35:20 that's why they always scream there orders
Apollo I really think you should do more Divide et Impera content, some of the units and changes that mod makes can create interesting battles. Please consider this :D
the amount of Uno Reverse Card in this battle is baffling
30:52 lol
"We're at Alexandria"
Okay. That doesn't narrow it down as much as you'd think.
Alexander named like 10 cities after himself
Don’t be a smart ass. When people say Alexandria everyone thinks Egypt
I'm rooting for attackers as soon as I found out that Apollo is Ardeei
You gone spear tactic in this stream
