NORTHERN INVASION - Lothlorien - Third Age Total War Divide and Conquer | Part 8

[@alabaster6117]

One thing for sure is the lack of Song Halls. They're fairly necessary for elven economies. I do them asap. Upkeep is a huge drain on elven resources.

[@KTM55100]

I don’t mind the small repeated battles 🤙🏻

[@KTM55100]

Also I wouldn’t mind a Vermintide campaign again. Just saying.. 😏

[@CodeBlue1327]

Gotta love these battles indeed!

[@OrderoftheSilverCross-ir7ip]

The Ai outplayed Apollo 🤣 It sent false attacks in the east to hite its invasion from the north.

[@RAID3N_2013]

May I suggest sending a second general to your military hub village? So that way, when you move out your army to invade, you have an administrator to look over the town and keep it's happiness and public order up.

[@frantictoast3741]

What others find tedious I find interesting. I like the back and forth between the elves and orcs. It feels like a war and not just a player steamrolling

[@raizensmuscoo381]

Apollo that fountain will increase your pop growth by 0.5%. You need that cuz you exterminated on capture and you want that to be your "military hub", that building will help you with that. Also lvl 2 Song Halls increase pop growth.

[@alabaster6117]

Also diplomats need to be hustling all around the map for those trade agreements.

[@mikkebullansen7461]

and sell map info. one settlement is worth 200. so if u have 2 settlement u should get 400 from selling map info. 5 settlements =1000 and so on. And if their bankrupt u can get 200-500 it depends. cause the ai can never go in negative. they will everyturn have atleast like 1000 or something

[@nikolamilinovic1230]

Apollo please make these 3-4 h long. I am invested in this campaign.

[@anarionelendili8961]

Yeah, I was waiting for this to happen... While PA has been slowly managing to get the economy going, he has basically been in a standstill for a good while now, while Dol Guldur and Gundabad have ravaged through the Vales of Anduin. Now Khamul the Easterling can finally turn his attention to those pesky elves of Lothlorien. Erui is pretty much guaranteed to fall, unless there is a miracle, and those three generals with it. Still, all is not lost. The doom stack will spawn (I think if Caras Galadhon falls), and if PA plays his cards right, he might be able to use that doomstack to beat Dol Guldur back and even take Dol Guldur itself. It might not be enough to win the campaign, I think PA is probably too deep in the hole already, but at least it will be a more glorious end.

[@sameleiren1233]

doomstack doesnt spawn for the player

[@anarionelendili8961]

@@sameleiren1233 Thanks for pointing that out. I had forgotten, since it usually isn't an issue in most games. :) In that case, I am going to downgrade my prognosis to: he is hosed. :P

[@JustARandomFio]

I usually avoid taking villages without a wall when they're exposed and subject to constant attack. It's not worth the effort and money it costs to maintain a decently sized garrison and replenish the subsequent losses. I build a fort nearby, possibly in reach of two towns, and put my combat force there, keeping only one or two units in the walled town. When the enemy sieges I move the fort garrison to the town as reinforcement. Forts hold 4 units for free and can be built by generals after you enable them in the script (disabled by default). You can also exploit forts by building a few around your cities and parking your units in groups of 4 there for free. Comes in handy in the early game at highest difficulty when every cent matters and you're under constant attack. later on you can simply avoid the exploit if things get too easy.

Bro is cooked 29:23

[@OrderoftheSilverCross-ir7ip]

Apollo sent diplomats to the silvan elves to the east. There should be a scripted event.

[@peter-shauntyrell5613]

Yeah I don't mind seeing this battle over and over. It's kind've important and feels realistic.

[@toddyoung913]

Apollo the reason you cant recruit or reinforce is your towns don't have available pops to fill your units. They are elves and you threw your pops away early when you made your archers take unprotected cav charges early in the campaign. I imagine this mod has slow pop growth for elves, so it is even more important each casaulty is unavoidable and at the highest cost to the enemy.

[@sylas1259]

this series is so good daily entertainment

[@rubytuesday2682]

They have the high ground. Obi-Wan must have been there...

[@Christofferhe]

Send your general from the fort to the military hub, extra defence and your ready to move out when time comes

[@jabbynouchet]

Get those episode out whouhou!!!

[@mr.kroket9653]

Hey Apollo, The Elves Campaign is awesome. Maybe another general can help this village on the frontline.

[@Ubrok3mysax]

That rebel fort between your villages, you should take it for a way point and a relief force to support future expansion into Dol Guldor territory. Bc due to expensive late tier recruitment it would be a life saver with both time and expense

[@liamthe5576]

I cant wait til pixelated hits 1 million subs

[@greenlilpanda6941]

omg this series has me so hooked like its a drug, I can't get enough

[@kingarture1192]

Apollo hire another spy agent so that u can have 2 spy's instead

[@StandingWithUkraine]

Apollo keeping us on the edge of our seat!

[@jamesmurphy9375]

You have to rush dol guldor. Then get a diplomat and sell it back to them. Destroy everything in the settlement. You're going to get overrun if you don't push out.

[@simpsundae]

I'd like to see thr family tree again because the last time we saw it was before all of the kids were born, and it would br fun to see which kids belong to who. Also, I think it would be benefitial to build the pool things in the village as realistically, the perks would make sense for a place riddled by attacks (and maybe more things will show up for you to build after?)

[@CameronBoyle-wc8ts]

One thing I love bout how u play is how slow it is, usually I like to play very aggresively but its quite refreshing seeing how slowly u play

[@Kermpit_the_dog]

How r u doing Apollo?

[@StandingWithUkraine]

I'm really enjoying this playground, especially watching it backwards.

[@azadyilmaz7294]

Just caught up to the play trough. Was wondering were part 9 was… dude you left me on the biggest cliffhangerrrrr

[@lukalovric2463]

Celebron in Achnod Iaun: Waiter, waiter, more Dol Goldur armies please

[@hansfabri6906]

If it is a staight up slaugher, go for autoresolve

[@jahnmark2864]

I miss this series

[@GStarMan8844]

I think you need Hall of Music or whatever they are called in all your cities first!

[@anasurimborplantagenet5478]

Love the video, but it is funny as hell that I was linked to this video from Apollo’s video in which he destroys fantasy for the better part of an hour.

[@JorenSnitchel]

Elves are Just too cool

[@DustinGraham-uf3by]

keep the battles in. I like the commentary.

[@jahnmark2864]

Im really confused why you didnt just abandon the city when you saw an 11 unit army approaching instead you might lose 3 generals, or at least send the army from the outpost

[@jtmma6951]

Badass series apollo 🤙

[@Strider5598]

New vid let’s go

[@Clashnewbme]

this is EPIK

[@Mikael-j3i]

Hey i just have a question what happened to that realm of thrones playthrough did you just stop or what?

[@BooneLee-q8k]

I miss them so much please

[@Justbeingweetbix]

I know I’m commenting on this video very late. And you’ve probably got cavalry later into the series now. But I’m so confused why you have a 97 soldier general that’s just be sitting in a settlement for 20 turns and hasn’t been fully utilised… i don’t understand…. You could have sent him to Rohan or north to hire some mercenary cav from other regions. Also it’s so hard to watch you not build a port to increase trade… you need money. Another issue i have is the fortress between your capital and the settle near dol goldu… why haven’t you taken it yet for so long?

[@liamb3364]

love it mate

[@liamthe5576]

I love you pixelation apottle

[@sylas1259]

Anyone know if third age would run on MSI katana 17 ? Really want to start playing

[@tobih9440]

[@kebabeter-c5d]

[@Scott-ed5jf]

❤

[@joshuaiordache6137]

Apollo,I am very annoyed by you since part 1 of this campaign,You first dont pay attention that the archer unit near the capital which you merged was not supported by supplies and it was better to use it for yes literal merging or sending them to a castle😂,Second i don't know how many times you mentioned cav but not once have you started the building of a stable when you had all that gold! Just get that cav already i keep watching your gameplay and mentally begging you to press the stable "DO IT APOLLO,PRESS THE STABLE ALREADY",Anyway overall i've been staying all night and all morning watching this campaign,Im enjoying alot, Excited to see more when you come back!👍🏻👍🏻
