Methrast is an island south of dol Amroth key to its defence as it is the frontline with Harad and Umbar

[@bane9933]

Pixelated Apollo loves my comment

[@simonplimon]

Nope. It's just a city/castle south of Dol Amroth. You're probably thinking of Tolfalas.

Pixelated Apollo, I want to thank you for all of the content you've published throughout the year. You've done so much for the Total War community and I really enjoyed watching your channel grow from a few thousand to the hundreds of thousands of subscribers you have now. You are the only KZbinr I watch (along with Jackiefish of course) and you always brighten my day. You will always have me as a faithful subscriber. Best of luck to you in 2017.

Keep up the great work! Your the reason that I ended up getting Medieval II, Just so I could play the LOTR Total war and haven't stopped playing it since!!! I've always loved the Total war franchise but they can be hard games to get into and play, but you show people how fun it can be and how tense the game leaves you feeling. Looking forward to some more of your videos yet to come!

[@TheAUTcheker]

Jeez the Gondor riders look absolutely stunning, also huge props to darkcloud, that cav bit at the beginning was excellently coordinated!

[@aidenweber7530]

I think the Calvary force outside the wall did alot of work that would help the defenders out a little bit, but the defenders do indeed lose in the end, 2016 year of defenders not winning.

[@gideonhorwitz9434]

I spent a long time looking for a total war you tuber for thegreat massive total war carnage that I felt was lacking on most total war KZbin Chanel's.

[@eightcelticnations3640]

Hey Apollo, I have enjoyed the battles and your narratives immensely! I watch them at work when I have some time off--especially the LOR based ones! As a huge LOR and Star Wars fan, I find the backgrounds you give and other information you provide very truthful, accurate, and informative. Your voice and manner of describing the battles is soothing, funny, and entertaining. I hope this New Year brings you 500,000 more subscribers, health, love, and happiness (not in that order lol). Anyway, may the force and all the blessings of elves, dwarves, and all free folk be with you and your family. Namarie...

nice camera work on the cav charges Apollo xD im really enjoying this vid so far haha for reals xD oh, and congratz on that totalwar youtuber of the year award ^^ well deserved" xD

[@lucas_pbd]

Mate, you are the reason I got back into total war a few years ago. You deserve this!!!!!

[@joebob7483]

I think defenders always lose because of the inbalance of good and evil troops. To keep it short, evil might have quantity and little quality, they have enough quantity to overcome quality. Evil has cheap cost of troops plus more troops per gold. Add in the bonus that you can fill more gaps with more troops and attack quality troops in gangs. Evil also has relatively cheap shock troops such as savages, trolls, and elites such as many Haradrim addons and Black Numenoreans that can destroy quality troops regardless. Another bonus to quality is artillery. Would you rather lose ten good troops or ten bad troops. Obviously ten bad troops, and this is why artillery is more effective against good forces, because even small hits are always fatal to good forces. Along side this quality VS quantity inbalance, evil is getting many buffs that make it even harder to win. Quality might have the advantage of better choke points, but this hardly counters all the advantages of bigger, cheaper armies.

[@jessemacaspac443]

Well don't rule out the players either. Often times you see their high quality archers waste ammo on low quality troops that can't fight. Or throw away their cavalry.

I was on the edge of my seat the entire battle and I started naming each Haven Guard soldier that stood their ground, and everytime one went down, I'd scream, "NO! BOB! GET BACK UP! JIMMY! NO! YOU ARE THE GUARDS OF DOL AMROTH! YOU WILL STAND YOUR GROUND!" Apollo, you are the only KZbinr that makes me this attached to the battles. Thanks again!

[@patrickrogan8100]

Please, Pixie. Tirith Eye-Arr. Great video other wise. 2016 was a great year for you. Happy new year, and thanks for the great content

[@benandrew21]

The cavalry at the beginning were absolutely beautiful. And holy crap Haven Guard are amazing

[@lightatmidnight808]

I'd like to see a series of battles that follow a storyline. Doesn't have to be historical, but something along the lines of following the armies of Morodor as they ravage Middle Earth. Or a war between elves and men, with an uneasy alliance between Gondor and Harad or Rhun, and the elves calling on dwarven support.

[@lightatmidnight808]

Mordor*

[@ragingpacifish161]

Pixie, you are a great KZbinr because of your hilarious and fun commentary. I also absolutely love when you get really immersed in the battle and you seem so into the action. Listening to you is a true joy. You are becoming my favorite youtuber.

[@snowbrogaming2257]

The defenders did extremely well in this siege battle BUT quantity overwhelmed them! I would say it was a victory for the defenders as the evil faction's troops are now bufffed and just as good as Gondor's troops. Gondor should have been allowed a reinforcement army to support them 15min in.

Why do people care if the defenders win so much?
