Sorry I missed a big cav charge that Macedon did against Rome. The charge killed the Roman general. It was pretty important to the battle sorry I missed it.

[@Poshboi.]

Your my favroite youtuber and i almost punched my tv when you said carthrig(sorry if i miss-spelt carthrig)

Don’t worry Apollo you’ve got nothing to be sorry about it was a big beautiful battle

[@ODgoon]

This was such an amazing battle, I was the Egypt player and even though we lost I knew I had to submit this. Kudos to the defenders for literally fighting to the last man.

[@mynamejeb8743]

im gonna rewatch your battle for the 2nd time today

[@ODgoon]

@Qwerty 1234 Sorry bro, but why you reading comments before watching the vid haha

[@Royinszki]

Im pretty much a rookie player and i keep asking myself, Why didnt anyone defended the walls? Isnt it easier to defend walls than fighting in the open space inside the town?

[@ODgoon]

Roy Campbell it’s harder to defend the walls in a barbarian settlement since the walls are not elevated on the defenders POV, but you have more opportunities for troop movement to get small flanks on units because of more space

[@user-rs1gb1bp8b]

I am so angry I scrolled through the comments and saw this and I was still watching!

Idk, everything I saw made sense to me

[@jadanielnegrete]

I always thought they knew what they were doing, I just don't realize how it was going to work.

[@RoulicisThe]

It's normal : in big battles like this there are so many things going on at once that it's hard to keep track of everything and things tend to get pretty messy. So yeah : both attackers and defenders knew how to handle a siege battle, but with everything that was going on it got messy pretty fast, it happens all the time in Total War sieges, especially a big one like this

[@Historyfan476AD]

@@RoulicisThe Kind of like a real battle in a way, i like that about Total war it can become chaotic and hard to run the whole battle sometimes.

[@Blisterdude123]

Honestly, I think Macedon deserve the most kudos for standing against, and bleeding dry, Rome, on their own. Allowing their allies to concert their efforts against the rest of the attackers. The temptation is always to team up on Rome, focusing your power there, and while that makes sense, it would also have left them outnumbered against the superior numbers of two other attacking armies. So Macedon basically fought a desperate war of sacrificial attrition to stall and blunt their deadliest threat.

[@dredgenforlife6871]

Attackers: *You won, but what was the cost?* Defenders: *Everything...*

Technically not everyting....it cost you ALOT, but you still have....like.... a few things.

@@luthercampbell3058 holy shit i forgot about this comment

[@Dangelboyd]

The reason why my pikes had moved without the general at the end was because the attackers were on and capturing the victory point, I had to move quickly. I knew the risks but had to keep them off the point and buy time. Jist thought it needed justification, you and others seemed confused but the move was somewhat deliberate. It's a shame you did miss the cav and the attention to detail of my archers, but you cant capture everything, thanks for covering

[@justinfanter3620]

Made Rome your bish

[@PixelatedApollo1]

oh thats weird. The capture point wasnt near the big tree?

[@Dangelboyd]

@@PixelatedApollo1 It was not. Where my pikes died was the victory point Dont worry though! The replay doesnt actually tell you where the victory point is, you couldn't have known! You still covered the battle really well

Awesome replay bud!! Thank you for covering it, we defenders had a LOT of fun with this defense!!

[@mikebrown5819]

Great battle and tactics love it! I think the the reason carthage kept holding that forward position was to keep the enemy from revealing those hidden troops in the middle

[@jo15xyz]

I cant believe I just saw this now, you earned yourself a sub from me since I really enjoy these types of games and battles that kinda involves some history and some past solid military forces in the world. Hopefully I see more of this!!

“You’ve never lived to you’ve been bodied by a horse!” Most of the attackers right now 49:11

[@pavlenikic9712]

The battle was amazing, but nothing will ever beat the one you showed us when everything of the 2 armies that was left were 1 spearman and 1 knight and they killed each other in a direct duel. Nothing can ever ever top that one, though i cant seem to find it without rewatching 1000000 of your videos :)

[@PixelatedApollo1]

that was Heir of Carthage. That was amazing

[@raynanrosales5604]

My first thought is that the attackers will receive victory but then it was so amazing that the defenders played it well. The defenders did it, and they really deserved victory because of their amazing tactics and strategy. Job well done defenders! Thanks to Apollo for making these "total war" videos, I am also playing these games especially Rome 2 and three kingdoms and your videos gave me a lot of ideas on how to win a battle efficiently and easily.

[@viniciusmarchetti6924]

I'd say that Egypt is the best "faction" on RTW2, cuz I've defended so many town with only the base garrison (Egyptian Pikemen / Egyptian Infantry) , that has pretty much no armour yet I conquered so easily enemy towns, becuse the heavy infantry has good stats, and even on open field battles, a combination of Thorax Pikemen + a general on chariot and both being covered by Nubian Bowman, makes really easy to destroy even the heaviest Roman Troops. It they have no big enemies and have a large amount of territories... And if everything goes wrong, U still have the Elephants to cause havoc on the battlefield.

[@Historyfan476AD]

Not trying to knock you or anything but in Single player any faction you the player are using is nearly unstoppable, the AI just can't cope against Human players without some bonuses added to it. Now Multiplayer is where we have to judge Factions on how great they are.

[@viniciusmarchetti6924]

​@@Historyfan476AD Still, I'd would say that It's probably the best "faction", There ain't much that can be done against Hellenic Royal Guard on tight Phalanx formation if there is no missiles forces around or elephants. Add some Royal Peltasts and Royal Thorax Swordsman with Nubian Bowman and thats game. 2 Expenssive? No prob, keep the Phalanx unit and the Nubian Bowman but instead of Royal Peltasts and Royal Thorax Swordsman, just take Thorax Swordsman and Sobek Cultits. To deal with archers just trow some low cost cav followd with Scythed Chariots and this works not only with archers but pretty much with any troop that does not weights over 3 tons... For sure Egypt is not unvencible, but I ( I ) think it's the best faction on game.

[@tasteofgenius4285]

Hey instead of following a Random soldier one thing you could do is follow A unit you know will make it to the end that way we can really see the action on a whole notha level. I love the soldier series so One suggestion I had with that is you could fast forward through the end of a battle and pick a cool looking soldier from one of the units that seen a lot of action and follow him because you know you will get all the bang for your buck!!!

[@TheStrossicro]

Layered defences in Total War multiplayer in general are suboptimal strategies in my opinion, and that is due to the meta. Attacks are almost never layered (i.e. piecemeal) hence the defenders of a layered defense will almost always be outnumbered. But games where you feature a layered defence I find much more enjoyable and entertaining!
