[@jopdiederen1538]

9:10 thats actually true XD i stil remember the first total war video i watched, it was third age and my mind was blown, believe that was like 6 years ago XD

[@JordanR]

Oh hi! I've been waiting for this to come out.

[@thesilentspectator927]

JmonsterTW hello!

[@xlexcz6830]

Your channel is awesome JmonsterTW!

[@JordanR]

Thanks dude!

[@JordanR]

Hiya :>

[@toxicswedes6355]

[@filipsipic2186]

Finally a new episode of Third Age total war.

[@SynnoftheDarkCloud]

snack and drinks time"!

[@f1boii826]

Synn of the DarkCloud Those javellins/throwing axes, They are really good, maybe a little nerf?

[@copgamer6806]

Synn of the DarkCloud good one

[@f1boii826]

Synn of the DarkCloud 😇

[@joanmasdeu4600]

Synn of the DarkCloud woop woop

[@R2D2xC26]

Love total war.... especially LOTR

[@irish-emperor-naberius443]

Good god, Rhudar is but savage in terms of combat. The troops may not look elite, but as they say dont judge a book by its cover. Despite the lack of armor on them, they can still pretty much wreck lives and take names. Im beginning to like them as a faction

[@djeng4733]

pixie, just want to say that today is my anniversary of watching your channel, this is 4 years now thank you for all you have helped with.

[@jamaly77]

I've been waiting for somebody to upload a snackworthy video, thanks Apollo :)

[@stzsurge2250]

Third age total war videos like this one are the reasons why I watch your chamnel

[@benjaminmcclelland2464]

Exactly what happened to me. I saw an epic battle simulator video first. Clicked on a third age video. Now, about 6 months later, I have medieval 2, empire, Napoleon, attila, and mount and blade with all the dlc. Pixie led me to a whole new world of video games.

[@WardenNFG]

So, What I have taken from this is. Rhudaur: needs Pike nerf, Maybe lower the number of throwable axes and javelins. Arthedain: Better Pike defense, Stronger Dismounted knights (however they went against pikes so cannot know for sure). Cardolen: Bodyguard could have a little increased attack and (if applicable) Missile defense.

[@JordanR]

People tend to read too much into these scenarios. If this was 2v2 the Arthedain/Cardolan would have won with 40-50% remaining. The mod is balanced for multiplayer generally, not individual scenarios which are usually made with entertainment in mind.

[@Thongger]

I think MTW2 engine has a bug where pikemen dont preform well when fighting down a slope. This may explain why the elite pikemen got so soundly beaten

[@WardenNFG]

Jmonster, I am well aware that I am doing the same thing, however until I see a field battle/more even battle I wont be able to know for sure, I have merely listed out what I think are some viable changes based on what I have seen. Thongger, I believe so, Its a shame but they dont seem to do as well in other total wars on even ground either. Its Just a pikemen thing. Also to both, did the "good guys" have any spearmen?

[@EdnaStudios132]

Before I first found your channel, I always wanted to watch a LOTR game that could really simulate large scale battles. And then I saw my first Third Age video, courtesy of Pixie Poo. It felt like I struck gold because it was exactly the game that I wished was out there. Today, I still love Third Age and will soon be able to play it once I finish building my PC.

[@joelvermeulen1155]

I would like to thank you for being such a awesome youtuber! sticking to what you love. Im going through a hard time in my life and watching these epic battles distracts me from it. Thankyou :)

[@jopdiederen1538]

Bro please do more of these scenarios! This was beautiful

[@fa1th122]

Who needs sleep when you have Apollo? :D

[@sassyoprahtires5951]

I absolutely love your medieval crusader battles from a historian's standpoint it's amazing to have a visualization of the battles I've studied. I was wondering if you could do some more ;)

[@dawson1787]

Do a third age video on a battle between gondor and rohan

[@texasfuneral4787]

Five years have past and i wonder if he likes the series 😂😂

[@MrOrc-ym9do]

My god, I would LOVE a show or movie on the civil war, if done well

[@kevind824]

You were so right in what you said about finding total war games I only bought a desktop so I could play third when I don’t regret it one bit

[@sealions660]

this is a very epic battle, i just wish there were more tactics other than charge in and die

[@brattlready2314]

This could fit into the story line, before the fall of the Arnorian kingdom, there was a civil war, between the two sons, though they fought for years they were watched by an unknown foe... when the civil war ended the armies were weak and small, thus the end of the arnorian kingdom came to an end... as the unknown foe sieged the castle, slaying every last arnorian spotted...

[@jackdavis4317]

I love watching your videos pixelated. They always make me think as if I’m playing the game myself

[@League_Femboy]

I don't know which one it is but that early arthedien defence was destroyed almost instantly so either buff the arthedien or nerf( which I think is better) the rhudar

[@sirjmen5939]

Thank you for being in the calltoarms event today , it was fun , looking forward to play more!

[@chrishartley5831]

Hey Pixelated Apollo, they actually have released the timeline for where the LOTR tv show is supposed to take place if you're still curious about that. Apparently, it's supposed to be after the Battle of the Five Armies and before the Fellowship.

[@marioschr8181]

hahaha Third age was exactly how i found out about total war in the first place, over 7 years ago!

[@afisto6647]

The shields on the bridge looks like Gallic shield less Roman.

[@davidshepherd1634]

Classic Apollo..... "and then we got... Oooo look at these guys."

[@sitah3658]

I love third age total war reforged

[@robotycznerecords6290]

Apollo said this one is going to come down to who has more ammo towards the end. How extraordinary of him:)

[@martyboyer7661]

Epic and well-rounded, indeed. Most fulfilling, my good sir. I commend you and the various players.

[@BasilHagens]

archangel is in my shadow of war fellowship last time I checked... I don't play much anymore tho Also, I love that idea for the TV show

[@luish8834]

I've been binge watching all of the TATW playlist since Friday.. 😃💀... Officially obsessed.

[@CyBromancer7562]

The correct pronunciations for the three provinces of Arnor are: Arthedain (Aw-erth-eh-dine), Cardolan (Caw-er-doe-lawn), and Rhudaur (Roo-dow-er). For Arthedain, Arth is like the name Garth, the e is like eh, the dain is like dine as in dining out. For Cardolan, Car is like the vehicle, do is like doe a female deer, and lan is like a green lawn. For Rhudaur, Rhu is like roo as in rooster, and daur is like dour (as in grim personality), or sour with a d.

[@dcthoma3119]

I love your videos man, they are so great. Also you look like the single track sampler. Keep up the good work.

[@snakehead4213]

I read in one of the books that Rhudaur came under the control of a hillman who allied himself to the witch king

[@creepyhater5677]

Nice video pixi I really want a rhun and silven Elves and dwarves vs high Elves and gondor and arnor A Battle of the infantry and skirmishers Rhun: Heavy armour and nasty weapons, Tuff halburds, good archers/crossbows and HEAVY NASTY cav Silven Elves: just an OP Faction with op archers Dwarves: nearly best infantry in whole game strong goats Nasty crossbows and strong Pikes High Elves: Elite infantry and Elite archers also heavy armoured good fast cav Gondor: Nasty infantry and archers with beautiful range and nasty cav Arnor: strong and tuff infantry also with dunedein Rangers and very strong cav

[@heftywombat7238]

Great vid apollo every time u upload my day gets better keep up the great work

[@leipezeeolifant1276]

So happy that you made vid like a late christmas present

[@capotosixk]

Yea another great video!! Keep making the third age videos Apollo they are the greatest ever on KZbin

[@jaredreaman4972]

LOVE watching your videos apollo, the commentary is exciting and the replays are always awesome. All I could ask for is some more GoT stuff Please?

[@Chap2960]

Apollo, you are my favorite youtuber! I love you so much!!! Don't stop making vids.

[@raziasultana8437]

Wow Apollo u just tell the world about how I figured out total war just like this ur vids the first one battle of Helmsdeep the other third age vids then warhammer amazing then skyrim wtf amazing and other

[@SWATFletch]

I would legit love it if the makers of Total War actually contacted the developers of Third Age and got the rights to make a proper Lord of the Rings Total War (or even helped work on the mod). This needs to happen :D

[@_potatodude_542]

Hey, Pixelated Apollo! I was wondering what Camera settings you use and buttons? Since I am having a couple problems with it... :I Do you have a discord channel or something where you could post photos or something of them? Or just tell me here. :D

[@_potatodude_542]

Oh, found your discord :D

[@rossmartin2484]

Love your videos I'd like too see more Dwarven battles and unique scenarios like this one you could do a campaign with the arthedain,cardolin,and rhudaur

[@Ricardoslips]

My girlfriend left me and im now an alcoholic, but your videos make it all go away.

[@rider2273]

I guess I’m not sleeping

[@b-radwilliams5075]

I'm using my wife's KZbin lol but I've never played and watching game plays and how you get into the fight along with the information it's pretty awesome you make me want to play lol

[@toniculper4872]

Great job Apollo keep up the great work

[@theblackjack9924]

Some information from Tolkien gateway... The eldest, Amlaith, claimed Kingship over all Arnor but was reduced to only ruling the region of Arthedain as his kingdom, while the other sons founded the breakaway kingdoms of Cardolan and Rhudaur. Arnor was refounded de jure by Arthedain's king Argeleb I, when Cardolan placed itself under the suzerainty of Arthedain.

[@FilipWizard]

Im orc.I'll sue you for being orcsist. Great job btw.My God every video of third age you upload,is masterpiece.Happy hollydays bro ❤

Can someone pleasse tell me why when i click helms deep and do the teams as soon as im doing my troop roster it crashes and exits the game. Help please

[@gordo7951]

"Who will you be fight for?"

[@xanderbrand405]

I’m sick and I’m supposed to be recovering and sleeping... Instead I choose to spend my time in bed watching Total War by Apollo, I’m not complaining as much anymore that I’m sick.

[@tomromain8783]

I've heard that the tv show may focus on Aragorn's life, which would be epic, as we would see Rivendell, Eriador, Rohan, Gondor, Harad, Umbar and Rhûn. That would make an incredible multi-season tv show, but I would be quite upset if it doesn't stick with the Jackson universe.

[@matti7301]

This battles are just so EPIC man!!!!!!!!

[@erikallgren3260]

Hello, I'm a huge fan of TATW Reforged and been trying to play it online for some time now but nothing seems to work. All online matches are incompetible, if anyone has any tips or fixes i'd love to hear them.

[@gamble9437]

Awesome video, really fun to watch. Felt the scenario could have been slightly better balanced thought, defenders never really had a chance.

[@leomancilla9582]

More Third age total war , I love this legendary game !!!

[@benz888]

I love you Pixie, thank you for another great video.

[@gabrieldelaby560]

I think Cardolan is more a southern faction based on trading and merchants while rudhaur is more a northen faction who lives in the mountains. ( I don't know the lore)

[@chupschupslollipop9520]

Uruks have names like ,,the Unbroken" and stuff, what would Apollo be? The Slaughterer of Names?

[@lewistaylor2858]

they should make the Arnor civil war into a trilogy, including the war with Angmar and the eventual fall of Arnor, could also show the elven kingdoms in the war

[@BeowulfTheBountyHunter]

Arnor is an underrated faction in my opinion that should get more love.

[@aysseralwan]

Dark_Wolf6211 it's arthedain now :D

[@Robin-vz2nr]

Recently bought my first Total War game (Medieval II) any tips? I kinda suck...

[@wookieegamingvrmore]

My intro to total war was this game and i thought this was a stand alone game spent 8 months looking for the game in shops and stuff

[@Thatguy-ue4wx]

Merry Christmas Apollo

[@shadowgamer1598]

Love the video pal and loving your channel. its a shame i am having trouble with the mod no sound, i love lord of the rings

[@kungapalzang4720]

Yeah I first saw third age total war and from there I saw all the other total war games

[@giorgioguagnini7962]

great video as always! love your channel so much :)

[@leogames1597]

please make more third age

[@henryjames1513]

"I think its all going to come down to the last final stand" No, its going to come down to the 4 horsemen.

[@fionnfitzsimons3500]

pixelated Apollo what did you use to install reforged submod? I have install third age 3.2 but cant install reforged because all of the description videos have different files to the ones I have downloaded so I get stuck with them. Can anybody help?

[@007NowOnline]

Fun video. Just wish that it was a fight to the last man standing and that no troops retreated off the map, since the defenders only had 30 soldiers remaining.

[@neoronova9943]

You read my mind I started watching third age total war first then total war war hammer both I and II then I watched a bit of Medieval II

[@juanmanuelborrero2250]

Apollo, let me put it this way: my steam account says I have 1589 hours on MTW2, not a single one of them on the main game. All of them were played for Third Age. I simply bought the game so I could install the mod.

[@enuffsaid7310]

Apollo when are you gonna do more battles from Rise of Mordor mod? They were sic af!

[@kchgamer1788]

They said they plan on going in between the FOTR and the hobbit. I hope they cover good ol' Tom Bombadil

[@ashishsood9075]

Does TATW: reforged also have a good single player campaign?

[@noobstomper2485]

Hang on if the leader of arthadin has the claim to the throne and synn of the dark cloud was controlling arthadin then correct me if im wrong but *synn of the dark cloud is the rightful heir to the arnorian throne*

[@MPaz-kw1rt]

Dude I loved the battle top notch stuff man keep it up btw can we get more holdfast

[@wk2337]

Shame on you Synn, for not giving Pixie the new Cardolan icon

[@kinggrorsonoffror780]

Rhaudar I think is pretty good but I think there's some fixing to do.

[@imswivle2152]

Keep up these great videos!

[@mayalackman7581]

This was posted on my birthday, but I just found it.

[@LordDarkhelm]

If you're talking about what I think you are, I think you're talking about when the Witch King of Angmar invaded Arnor, during this invasion he recruited the Rhudaur to help him fight against Arthedain and Cardolan.... but maybe I'm wrong. It could be an actual civil war as Rhudaur was already at odds with Cardolan and Arthedain when that happened.... so eh. Lol, you just said that.

[@JordanR]

There's at least 1 instance that comes to mind where Rhudaur fought directly against Arthdain and Cardolan that resulted in the death of the king of Arthedain.

[@LordDarkhelm]

JmonsterTW Okay. Good to know. :) Great job in the video by the way.

[@yanzhongtan4449]

Dang those axethrowers slaughtered the dunedain knights

Of course you do :P

[@VivekPatel-zz2dr]
