For the OGs it was "defenders never win". For the new comers it became "Romans never win". But today, with this JUICY battle, a new glorious rule is born: "Defending Romans never win"!
@@JL.T. I beg your pardon. I usually read and write comments only after the video ended, and I thought everyone else does that too. But evidently it's not like that, so I'll change it right away 😅
Apollo you should do a custom scenario where there are 2 armies on 4. The 2 armies (whether factions don’t matter) are heavily outnumbered and they have to hold out until a third army 100% cavalry comes in like Rohan and saves the day. On Rome 2 of course
Hey, thank you a lot for this great comment ! It was really great ! I am the guy who sended you the replay (Sah quel plaisir) and playing as Epirus. Everyone played so well, a perfectely balanced battle, i'm so glad you enjoyed this one ! :) Ps: i'm so happy, i have my gold minute of glory in a video of Pixellated Apollo with my cav charge on archers x)
Pierre Le Lay yo dude I’m the one who just played that one hour long battle with you a little while ago. I just watched the replay you did great. If macedon just flanked the guys fighting you instead of squeezing through to get archers or trying to hopelessly fight cav with deprleted units, you probably could’ve won
@@nathanhull8302 Yo man ! thank you very much, the battle we played yesterday was very fun also ;) I think the better thing to do here was to charge the archers because in Rome II, archers so destructive, and they need to be destroyed ASAP, especially in siege battles ^^
@@mwkoala Yup thank you man ! You did great u too ! To be honest, just after you massively retreat to the city centre, i was pretty sure the victory will be ours, this battle was a lesson to me ^^
Here’s your scenario: two rival Roman generals are feuding, and both hired mercenaries to try and prevent Roman deaths. But once the battle ensued, the battle lines were drawn and it no longer mattered; victory must be had at all costs.
Kinda pissed you only showed my flubs with the cav and not the stellar charges I got with the cataphracts, but still stoked to see my one of my games on your channel.
I'm having the best day ever, I finally convinced my crush of three years to be my girlfriend, me and my old best friend finally got back into contact, and I just had through an hour-long pixelated Apollo video with popcorn Gatorade and fruit snacks!
@@isaiahbraddock everything basically the same but now I have a different better hs gf, I actually forgot abt this, reading this gave me a laugh, thx man
Yes! Finally a genius strategy from Rome! If you fight yourself; you will always win! Glory to Rome! Finally!!!! Thank you oh wise Apollo for this mighty Roman victory!
That was such a amazing battle! Not often is it usually this close and the sender actually loses making this unexpected. It was so back and forth and butt clenching
dont tell me their was nothing "major" with the cav when they suddenly jumped over 250 kills. I want to see the cav!!! really disappointed. anyways, nice vid
“Dem Eey-Gip-Shons come from duh south, hee-ah now-ah. I think dey close to liek Nawlins er sumtin naw-ah.” That’s the translation for us Southerners. I reside from the “Non-hipster” parts of Orlando, Flawiduh. Anyways, great battle Apollo! Much well deserved granola will be distributed to all. Great livestream by the way bud. Hope you’re doing well man. I can tell you sound a bit happier bud. Good for you dood. Glad to see it. Much love and many Col-Kisses to you from your Royal Granola Seeker mi Lourde!
Lol. Your comment remembers me of the comment in the Olympics tournaments or Hockey match "the big Macedon push against the Egyptians"..... it's quite the same but about war.
I love Apollo and how he goes through these phases of Total War. So any predictions on what the next total war phase he'll go through? I found his channel during vanilla Napoleon phase some years ago and he has been through a lot and im loving Rome II but also excited to see other titles.
QUESTION.. would really appreciate your opinion. Hey Apollo I know you have probably said this a hundred times but I have total war three kingdoms and thrones of brittania they seem to be the newest games and therefore you would think the best so far. But do you have a favorite I should specifically get next and play?
15:00 "the Spartans are kings in holding choc points" yup but only within a 300 men unit ! btw the Arminians are (not ?) minions of Rome ; at least in sandwich with onions between Rome and Persia.
Im convinced all the dislikes are from that guy with multiple accounts making an ass hat of himself on yesterdays live stream. This was an epic battle!
Whoa! What a game. I tought the attackers got this by controlling the Armenian cav and the street fighting, but WTH with those peltast >:O! Epic players! 💪👌👏👏👏
While they may not be the best faction in Rome II I'd love to see a triple Sparta defensive team. Obviously their range and mobility units will be their biggest weaknesses, but what would they excel at?
Hi man Can you make a video to how install medieval war 2 kingdoms and the lord of rings mods that install on it ?! Please because I cant understand the explain of installation
And how powerful the pikes are too... But I Kinda love Attila more, but prople just want Rome II. My norsen celtics boys from attila won’t known What is like to Fight with tatics against something no brainless. My dog, just running around and back. Got love the Allani.
Please please please do a battle where it could be like a 2v2 and each team has MAXED out units! Like they're all tanked up to the max. It'd be hilarious to watch

“Rome is winning today”
Me waiting for a draw to happen haha
Ah yes “southern-eastern”
Ryan Hinrichs a classic
idk 2143 You beat me to it
Whats wrong?

yes the battle of helms deep but its in rome
Talewyn or the siege of minas tirith
He’s done this before not on a Rome 2 tho it was on like medieval 2
I have a replay like that
But only in medieval 2 I really need to get rome2
Those cataphracts fought down to the last man lol; true heroes in this battle
36:21 "There's a difference between saving it and being a little too conservative..."
Sounds like my dad discussing my virginity.
A-freaking-mazing battle ! Apollo, thank you for presenting us with such awesome stuff !
Anybody else notice royal peltists with 450+ kills at 24:00
Big Boi Joi look at the end. They got 650... freaking nuts
Omphalos_ Daemonium yep. Don’t mess with my bois haha
*"sixty nine giggity men"* 😂

I was the Egyptian player, the moment you charged the archers I was thinking "ok, it's over" - it was a really good move.

"Good news, Rome is winning today." This brings so much joy into my heart.☺
"Do you have a bare disgusting wall..!?"
“If you can’t take a settlement in an hour, you’ve got some problems.”
We’re looking at you Mehmed II taking Constantinople!
And he would've never taken it... If an idiotic captain hadn't left the West door accidentally open
Apollo "Hellenic" Royal Guard means actually "Greek" Royal Guard. 👍
Taxiarchos Kal. Indeed
I had a Juicy beverage while watching this Juicy battle
29:50 when he says 'oh that guy just lost his head' you see a guy flying on the left hahaha
Remember guys cav isn’t useless when they’re depleted. I once had a unit of 9 men get about 50 kills without taking a single loss.
29:50 lol that guy that got yeeted down the stairs. i thought at first that apollo was reacting to that instead of the beheading
Here’s your scenario: two rival Roman generals are feuding, and both hired mercenaries to try and prevent Roman deaths. But once the battle ensued, the battle lines were drawn and it no longer mattered; victory must be had at all costs.
je pensais pas l'entendre prononcer "sah quel plaisir" un jour 😂😂
Well, Pixie, you know what happened after too many Roman civil wars... They actually lost once and for all
You can never have too many Roman Civil Wars
We need more life of a soldier!!! 👌👌👌
Defiantly if we did total war warhammer 2 and did one story about a skaven rat then that would be hilarious
"A little lag there, lotta troops on the battlefield."
-Pixelated Apollo
every video, religiously
Kinda pissed you only showed my flubs with the cav and not the stellar charges I got with the cataphracts, but still stoked to see my one of my games on your channel.
you did great as the cav player, I was the Egypt player :D!
This could be an altenate war of Octavius vs Marc Anthony
I'm having the best day ever, I finally convinced my crush of three years to be my girlfriend, me and my old best friend finally got back into contact, and I just had through an hour-long pixelated Apollo video with popcorn Gatorade and fruit snacks!

Now I gotta know how everything unfolded
@@isaiahbraddock everything basically the same but now I have a different better hs gf, I actually forgot abt this, reading this gave me a laugh, thx man
Think like Sun Tzu: he who defends everything, defends nothing. He who catches everything on screen catches nothing on screen.
I'm so glad you continue to do replays for Rome 2
This was an awesome battle, rare to see such good tactics and such few mistakes from either team
You lied, Rome lost again! >:(
How many times did he say jucy at the start?
Yes! Finally a genius strategy from Rome! If you fight yourself; you will always win! Glory to Rome! Finally!!!! Thank you oh wise Apollo for this mighty Roman victory!
Dude, Rome III is going to be LEGIT.
That was superb!! What an ending, Epharus has so many troops...then.....bye bye..
That was such a amazing battle! Not often is it usually this close and the sender actually loses making this unexpected. It was so back and forth and butt clenching
On god i used to be board asf befo i found you, i always got my snacks watchin this
dont tell me their was nothing "major" with the cav when they suddenly jumped over 250 kills. I want to see the cav!!! really disappointed. anyways, nice vid
what would happen if the one defender player only had archers and the other only melee and javis
another good siege battle, keep it up. i would love to see more
44:34 "That cav unit just died", yes, it did Apollo
“Dem Eey-Gip-Shons come from duh south, hee-ah now-ah. I think dey close to liek Nawlins er sumtin naw-ah.”

Dat sownz moar lik Looweezeeanna dan Ourlandoe
Came for the juicy battles, stayed for the excellent commentary.
Romans and Samnites fighting together is a really neat combo
Really liking the background music Apollo, great battle
Lol. Your comment remembers me of the comment in the Olympics tournaments or Hockey match "the big Macedon push against the Egyptians"..... it's quite the same but about war.
Street of slaughter... Great video man!!
Best youtuber I don't even play total war I come here for the battles and commentry !
Wtf that guy was a hacker 25:00
Awwww yeah another bit of excellent content from a great content creator
Apollo said giggidy😂
Saw an older video of you. You did a Wounded Warrior charity. Thank you. SUBBED!
Restored the faith in Rome 2 siege battles
No matter what I always root for the defenders. I just love an underdog
Macedon should get a bonus towards pikes, and Sparta should get a bonus to hoplites
24:12 that royal peltasts unit got 458 kills damnnnn
Respect for someone sending in a game they lost I count them as a winner great plays from everyone I didnt see any losers in this battle
Ahhh yes, here in the Apollo kitchen he only serves the juiciest of the battles
Another great video keep it up your AMAZING!!!!
nothing better than a rome war seige a sprite and chicken nuggets
I love Apollo and how he goes through these phases of Total War. So any predictions on what the next total war phase he'll go through? I found his channel during vanilla Napoleon phase some years ago and he has been through a lot and im loving Rome II but also excited to see other titles.
Nice video apollo. Juste for "sah quel plaisir", it's a french meme

Joseph Piccione thanks bro I appreciate the reply!
Joseph Piccione definitely gonna try attila
Apollo: rome is holding (most of the units are from egypt)
What are your graphic settings? The gameplay seems way smoother than my rig is able to produce atm.
that street.... "the valley of the shadow of death"
love the quick intro
Very nice Battle, no bad players, really nice to watch...
Hey Apollo, love your content. Today's video was good, just thought that there was way too many ass shots during it.
Thanks for all your hard work.
15:00 "the Spartans are kings in holding choc points" yup but only within a 300 men unit !
btw the Arminians are (not ?) minions of Rome ; at least in sandwich with onions between Rome and Persia.
I love your sense of terminology
Im convinced all the dislikes are from that guy with multiple accounts making an ass hat of himself on yesterdays live stream. This was an epic battle!
Street of death and justice
Maaad props to the winning team.. No spoilers here folks!
"69 giggity men" lol
Why is my rome 2 battles not bloody. Is it the dlc? Or can I activate the blood on battles? Pls reply
You have to buy a DLC for 2-3$. It's because of some regulations - they can not sell a game with so much blood
@@mwkoala a okay thx
Your a legend, keep it up!
Can someone tell me how to have deployables in campaign map?Cos they only seem to be avaliable in custom battles
Hey apollo you have to be a knight to play a game with you??? I'm a man at arms just curious
Whoa! What a game. I tought the attackers got this by controlling the Armenian cav and the street fighting, but WTH with those peltast >:O! Epic players! 💪👌👏👏👏
Just curious, when will you do A call to arms again? I love those vids
Les go MORE APOLLO
While they may not be the best faction in Rome II I'd love to see a triple Sparta defensive team. Obviously their range and mobility units will be their biggest weaknesses, but what would they excel at?
Hi man
Can you make a video to how install medieval war 2 kingdoms and the lord of rings mods that install on it ?!
Please because I cant understand the explain of installation
I love how powerful arrows are in rome 2 compared to Attila
And how powerful the pikes are too... But I Kinda love Attila more, but prople just want Rome II. My norsen celtics boys from attila won’t known What is like to Fight with tatics against something no brainless. My dog, just running around and back. Got love the Allani.
@@hgesler idk i feel like with Attila the battles arent as epic or impactful and they take a lot longer
Juicy battles indeed
23:26 Poggers avenue
New merch? One with ur name on it?
24:47 game of thrones battle of bastards Ramsey pike enclosement
Please please please do a battle where it could be like a 2v2 and each team has MAXED out units! Like they're all tanked up to the max. It'd be hilarious to watch
Dude I'm high as fuck right now and I need your outro song
I like rome 2 and you Apollo 👍🥳🔥
Epirus did great, really wished the attackers would make it. But the defenders saved good units for the end.
I felt like macedon should bring 1 unit of foot compaion!
Lol that one Roman unit survived all the way to the end so Rome finally won a siege 😁
23:35 it is DEATH ROW
Awesome battle
lads how do you get the siege tortoise?
Where is the live stream?
Sir apollo do Total war alttila
(sorry if i murdered the title of the game) and total war rome 2 is the same if its not whats better?
this battle was so good
