- Epic Siege of Tricks and Traps! - Total War: Rome 2
The year is 46BC, the largest and most beautiful of all cities, Pulpedeva now glints in the eyes of General Marcus Terentius Varro Lucullus. Younger brother of Lucius Licinius Lucullus and proud supporter of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix Dictator Legibus Faciendis et Reipublicae Constituendae Causa (Dictator of Rome). General Marcus is keen to make his mark for the glory of the empire and his family and cement his name in stone for a millennia.
Rome has presented an indomitable force of 20 Cohorts of 10,000 trained professional soldier and proclaim that Pulpedeva must be subdued and forced to submit under glorious imperial rule. Supported by the elite Pretorian Guard, Rome’s legionnaires have no time for walls, flesh or mercy. Rome will have what Rome wants.
The defenders, the oh foolish defenders, an army of mercenaries, lost barbarians fighting for food, desolate slaves choosing the sword over the whip, the adept gorillas of Lusitania all paid for by a wayward Egyptians seeking to expand beyond the harsh seas of sand and death have been charged to fight and defend Pulpedeva.
This battle will not be about winning or losing, just holding and surviving

Wow that was one of the best siege battles i ever seen
Thank you 😁😁😁
Vitaliy Wolf you bet it was
Agreed.
So it would seem
Vitaliy Wolf the calv could have been used a bit better but overall the defenders did well it was def fun to watch
THIS! THIS IS A SIEGE! The best I have seen in ages. It required risky tactics, diversion (placing Egypt's defenders in that walled corner which you had to admit I thought was the VP) the ambush was just epic and since then Rome just struggled against the Kush. What a battle! Great fun.
This Siege was absolutely epic and your commentary was amazing keep up the good work! ;-)
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I'd just destroy the city and make it farmland, cause DANG that will be some FERTILE land.
Nyxion lol
Were ur ancestors vikings or mongols😂😂
This seige was real illumination of how traps and tactics are applied.Keep up the good work
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed
This is honestly the best siege battle I have ever seen
I am 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% terrible at total war myself (the small percentage I do know is “pike good at chokepoint. Cav good at flank. Archers good at kill pike. Pointy stick good against horse” and “archer on hill good with infantry at bottom”
As u can see I am not very experienced as I just got into it but I have actually learned a LOT from these vids
10/10 (no sarcasm)
Fuck that's more then me I just click and watch my men run hajahha
Lmfao
Yeah thats pretty much it
This is the most I speak in riddles and answer in rhymes battle I have ever seen
Apollo's most used sentence by FAR: "Lusitony..? LusiTAHNI, excuse me.."
How many times can one make the same mistake yet still never learn.. 😂😂
this was the greatest siege video you've uploaded. Such team working and strategic tactics made the hole video just gorgeous.
If you'd like to join them join his discord because that's what we (defenders) used to use voice comms
@@jamesminter70 thanks mate!
Excellent, probably one of the best siege battles ever. Action right off the bat and did the fighting did not pause at all. Action from start to finish literally.
3:02 some guy poor Lustani warrior got body slammed 😭😭
I seen that to😂😂
AfghanKid top nfl trucks of all time
Jajajaja epic
and you sawed that too lmao
Best siege for a long time, and loved the way the defenders worked together and just cool calculated strategic moves all the way through. And hitting the enemy before they expected it, really did a strike to Roman Moral. Great battle and Defenders do win
I think I just am naturally inclined to root against Rome
That's usual I think. My best guess is just how history is told. It's like the kid with a massive ego writing its own story. And then getting his shit clapped. *Every one liked that* even thousands of years later.
The romans are actually the only faction that I root for whose game name is based around. In Napoleon I root against France, and in Attila I root against the Huns.
I'm the opposite
same, also UK in NTW3
Legit. Also cause they're so fkn op as a faction so its boring to see them win everytime. Nothing like getting rear charged by naked warriors to put them in their place lol.
Kush is anti-Rome in Rome 2 as they have the shotel warriors which are armor-piercing
Ironfist20 And some anime like unrealistic big Bow Bow.
yeah, the Kushite general unit also has an extremely high melee defense. I wonder what would've happened if he brought armored shotel warriors
The cultists also Kush is just countering rome hard
You and your kushite slave spam
@@rrabbits4164 Armored shotel are good, but expensive. If its high funds i bring 2. Rest shotel, and kushite archers. Its a really good faction, but the units are expensive.
If they bring rome or a very good defensive faction, I bring Kush.
“The poor lions they had to wear to kill that”
Go home Apollo, you’re drunk
Hahaha I about died
No, you're drunk.
30:30
@@meadknight1127 i think he said that earlier
Shaso 1008 He said “Those poor lions they had to kill to wear that” YOU should should go home because YOU’RE drunk.
don't let the Kush, loose, aboot your hoose.....
The defenders relly put new mening in the phrase "the best defense is a good offens" xD
Just binge watching dozens of your videos. Still think this one is the most fascinating.
Hands down one of the best siege battles you've posted
This entire battle we didnt think we could win until the last 5 minutes we had hope. #UNCLUTCH
James Minter i thought for sure rome had it
36:00 that horse just standing in the middle of that infantry fight 😂
This reminded me of a battle I played yesterday. Defenders were insistent upon night and fog settings. I deployed as Rome on the other side of the settlement, while my allies deployed together. Immediately when the game started three armies of barbarians come out of the fog and I had 0 chance
The action did not stop for this battle. One of the best replays ive seen :D
28:40 i made that mistake too and learned it the hard way. I just assumed that the "inner Keep" must have been the victory point so i pushed all of my men and woman into the keep and defending it and gave it a great shot at certain victory, untill the enemy captured the victory point. i was so mad!
been there done that, allong with ignoring the chat were my team mates were trying to convince me from otherwise xD
lets just say you play that map, make that mistake once and then never again xD
I don’t think they have any female characters in this game..
@@Mister3Pac jup they have. Rome has some Gladitrices.
That was really a epic battle, probably one of best siege i seen, i love this video so much.
When you see an entire army get slaughtered and there is still 20 minutes left
That sally out was epic! Too bad they didn’t stick it through, that could have been a major early win. Overall best siege battle I’ve ever seen...
Good old days when Appolo was still uploading epic sieges of rome 2, those days are sadly past
yeah, sorry I dont agree where CA is taking Total War. I just cant support the company anymore.
I hate seeing the Averni player not counter charging. He is nerfing his own units but not availing them of there large charge bonus .
Of all the videos I've seen this is still one of the wildest sieges ever.
The artillery missing that huge blop of praetorians was so frustrating
Probably the best battle Ive seen yet tactically, great job by the defense.
I guess I’m reinstalling Rome 2 again, for the fourth time.
Amazing turn around from the defenders. Love these kinds of battles!!!
This is now my favourite Rome 2 a Total War Battle.
Ahhh good old siege week with amazing tricks.
Okay I love this battle. This is the first one I could call movie level epic.
After watching your Ryse Son of Rome series im happy the Praetorian guard took casualties at the start but sad the general got "melted" thinking of Varias (probably spelt wrong)
Egypt and Kush showed exceptional skill. First there was that ambush at the beginning. Then Egypt used their cavalry very well and avoided what was strong while attacking what was weak. Then they used that small walled in area as a military fort, which, due to its proximity to the victory point, made the defense stronger. Kush meanwhile was defending the victory point and used their strengths to hold choke points. Both players also used their cav to hit their engaged enemies in the back.
I’m pretty sure that artillery in the beginning killed more friendly targets than enemy...
It was really pissing me off, it’s like the AI was aiming for its allies
ok, let's just stop sending lusitAAAAAni replays to Apollo. It's really not funny anymore xD
35:10 Oh don't even bother mate :P
EDIT: Amazing battle from start to finish. Only the second day of siege week but the bar has been set very high.
Drinking game. Drink a shot of vodka every time Apollo says "Lucitoni" instead of "Lusitani"
Have fun
Lets get some Rome 2 with a reinforcement siege
Thanks pixe I have been watching your videos since I was in 6th grade now I am in 10th grade and your videos are still great
Lol the elites of kush coming out
*very light infantry
They are elite, low damage but high attack, they need a meatshield to protect them and they get tired very fast but they do very well and getting kills in
Nice win, for a tiny second it looked like the attackers might win, but the defenders did a great job over near the victory point. GG to everybody in the video.
You are the best
That was an incredible example of defeat in detail. Bravo
I love your commentary and the battle was epic I can't wait to see more thank you for all of the epic battles Apollo
This makes me want to get a Rome campaign going
Amazing Siege battle! Never a dull moment
I am at 0:23 just gotta say i have never seen a youtube video where the defenders won, without the attackers doing very hard mistakes.... hope this vid will turn my mind around ._.
This reminds me of my first siege battle ever. Had a huge support army, ready to play, and got a sally out and was completely destroyed
That was intense from start to finish!
unbelievably cool battle! More like this one please
Excellent defense in depth and recycling of units. Also cav getting skirmishes early and then waiting til Rome forgot about them to come aid in the end.
At this point, Apollo has me saying “lucitoni” as well 😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the coolest battles I've seen in Apollo's channel
Thats the most aggressive and the most claver strats i ever saw
Wow just wow what a battle such intensity I didn't see a battle like this in at least a month the defenders played almost perfectly and that ambush God that was so cool and I think that ambush has decided who the victor will be the attackers still should have pushed a lot harder and sooner anyway love your work man continue on with the good job I am hoping to start doing what you do in a couple of months after I finish my studies I will love to talk to you on Skype or line if you prefer and get some tips from you if you're willing 😊😊 really admire your work
Thanks man glad you lived the battle!
He who seeks to win all battles looses every war
Nice
I like to see players suceed with factions that are not that common. Good one!
The opening to this was a good tactic. Especially since you had 3 good armies still within the walls. The Lusitani did great with going out and damaging that Roman army.
The defenders definitely used everything advantage they could get.
Oh yea one thing tho. When playing as Rome and using praetorian guard against pikes, put you unit into attacking testudo formation it will increase their defensive stats and will allow you to hold a bit longer. I’ve done it many times using Rome in a head on fight with pikes.
Then get another unit to flank. Trust me it will work.
That really great sir apollo the fight is everywhere and surprise attacks this siege was really awesome sir i really love it
best. siege battle. ever.
Glad you liked it man!
I came back an watched this video and when he Said that he didnt know kush for being OP i was laughing my Ass of🤣🤣
Well, that was an amazing victory against the odds I'd say, & I so love seeing Romans coming to grief against these kind of faction confederations :)
You better think twice before say the "dumb" words, just because they're not going according to your brain, the defender proven to be the one who won
Thanks man, he hadn't noticed but my luisitani forces had to buy time for kush to set up in the streets. It was a risk but one that had to be taken to buy time for us to set up.
@@jamesminter70 yeah James, so much for reminding peoples to keep comments respectful, but the D words, just easily slipped his easy ill pronounced tounge, I'm always going with the underdog. Keep up the good play James
@@christianantony4271 thanks man!
Apollo please post a crappy siege. How are we supposed to pick a favorite when they have all been awesome so far. Love it!
Intense battle. Pikes and heavy shotel warriors are godly
That was the best tactics I've ever seen from the yellow army. Genuis player
I mean I wouldn't say genius. They were just clever enough to play off of two of the Roman player's massive mistakes and constant screw-ups....not genius at all.
One of the best siege battle i ever seen so much tactics here
One of the best I've seen....brilliant tactics from the defenders
Thanks grant 😁
Excellent battle, I thought they were going to lose against Rome. Winning a battle against a massive army of roman units is surprising.
the guy with all the pretorians just ran through all that oil after burning down the gate, spent half his army just going through a gate...
Hey @PixilatedApollo dude this is easily one of my favorite battles in your catalog, cuz you never knew until the very end who was going to win! it was always hella close.
When we were playing we didn't think we'd win until the last 5 minutes
One hell of a siege. I've found that Kush can be an incredibly potent faction, especially in sieges and against Rome. Great archer units, good cavalry, and the Shotel Warriors are armor piercing, which is great against Roman Legions
Yeah they're OP as all fuck
We’re not running away. We’re advancing backwards!
If you're wondering, Apedemak was the Kush warrior god, who was depicted with a lion's head, and that's why the Disciples of Apedemak wear animal headdresses.
Another awsome video pixie poo keep it up
Still loving your videos.
testudo, this mysterious one.
more like this mate it was awesome
I watch the whole video and eat some snacks. It is worthed. Epic, totally epic
That was intense, another classic battle.
Running trees? Man, Rome 2 has ents 😂 Jks! Respect Apollo!
Those praetorian guard just running through the boiling oil made me die inside
Too many noobs do this
@@ragnartwrii744 true the praetorian player made so many mistakes
All the Rome players played hesitantly and made mistakes. They didn't time their attacks on multiple fronts. Too easy for the defenders. Looking at the army comps at the end, it should have been easy.
Pixilated Apollo: that’s quite an interesting strategy, it’s really is genius.
Roman players: If we THROW enough pretorian guard at their PIKES maybe we’ll finally have a brake through!
Awsome Battle Pixie
You guys should watch the greatest Three Kingdom battles. They’re all incredible but one of them is literally a battle between Gods
The chad shotel warriors, the virgin praetorian guard
I love the Rome 2 videos👍🏼
Thanks my dude
The best battle i R2TW, I've ever seen
Thanks

Just subscribed, are these regular multiplayer games? If so I’m getting this game immediately.
It pretty much is a singleplayer and a multiplayer. Recommended if you try playing the singleplayer mode first
Turn on subtitles it’s so funny ..... apparently the sounds of roman soldiers attacking a city being killed and killing , are ‘music’ and ‘applause’
Completely undersold this siege
