GREAT SIEGE OF UMBAR - Third Age Total War Gameplay

Apollo can you please review tsardoms mod battle beta for M2TW,I think it would be a great mod and id like seeing it geting more attention.

[@gavinm6739]

Pixelated Apollo can you PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS do a guide on how to micro fast. i just started playing and my micro is way too slow.

[@daltonportwood2087]

Pix I would LOVE to see in your next video the good guys defending and winning

[@jannelaakso2192]

Pixelated Apollo what are your pc specs

[@seanmaguire8538]

Apollo, the Dismounted Black Numenorians each got between 200 and 350 kills. And to answer your question from the start of the battle. We didn't move because paladinbob gave us 3 minutes to take a look at the map but we forgot the Tribesmen for a moment so they got some kills.

[@jayeshmarathe3204]

Which one of the players was you ?

[@jayeshmarathe3204]

Are you the Son of Imraldis?

[@gusmcgranahan9779]

My favorite Apollo video. A true MASTERPIECE. 6 years on and still gold.

[@Uberdude6666]

I like how the black numenorians held out for so long. Like a corrupted, evil version of the heroism of the Dunedain. As in, even after having turned to evil, they still have those same ideals and strength. ...and the Black numenorians, decendants of the followers of the true kings, stood alone against the onslaught of the West. And in them was again the might of Ar-Pharazon the Golden, and the great armada, and their swords were keen and their wrath was terrible to behold, and between themselves they slew many Elf-friends, and many dwarves, and many of the first-borne of Illuvatar who still had long years of song and joy ahead of them... (Yes alot of "and" in the same sentence but if you read Tolkien's lord of the rings you see that there is a lot of "and" in there as well :D)

[@kinggingernator2964]

juiuffophiguo yea I would play evil factions just for them. they are these corrupted ultra elite unit that can slaughter even the proudest of units that any good faction can field.

[@Uberdude6666]

I wish that the cav-unit wav recruitable and not just generals bodyguard, and that there was an archer unit of them that used the hollowed steel-bows of Numenor... And that also harad (and haven of umbar if you play DaC) could recruit them! Possibly also Angmar/Gundabad

[@kinggingernator2964]

juiuffophiguo my absolute favorite unit of all time is the dunedain steelbowmen of northern dunedain in divide and conquer. They look awesome and in terms of double sided effectiveness in both archery and melee they slaughter.... 16 attack 20 defense rivals even the most elite elven bow units

[@paladinbob1236]

my thanks to Apollo for doing this replay...some of the other great cities of middle earth have a lot of history and backstories to them and umbar is no exception...but I know that a scenario with large cities and lotsa extra trimmings do take there toil on recording ...so a big thank you to Apollo for putting in that effort to finally bring this scenario to light!..

[@Klingoncodfan]

RIP Sneaky swan knigth, we will remember you

those black numenorians man, wtf... hold like 4 or 5 waves of elite infantry

[@PixelatedApollo1]

haha yeah crazy!

[@abcdc197]

Vampire Count They were same or stronger then gondorians and arnorians... They are same people acctualy if u have read silmarillion

[@apereex5173]

yeah their very op

[@Gr1nd0r]

Riven RivenRiven Actually they're not the same race, Gondorians are just Descendants of Numenorians and a more mixed kind, while instead the Dunedain are direct descendants making them technically still Numenoreans, the Black Nunenoreans are corrupted Actual Numenoreans from Numenor itself

[@thevillelova93]

Gr1nd0r Are they actually black though? Like their skin? Is it darkened and more sinister looking because they have been turned evil and corrupted? (In no way was I trying to sound racist) I meant like according to the LOTR Lore.

noah fortner and I'm pretty sure I know its the internet

[@Gr1nd0r]

It's a shame they can't do this in Divide and Conquer instead, The corsairs have their own faction there and Gondor and Dol Amroth could do the siege since they have tons of Marine-based units like The Haven Guard and the Coastal Wardens, The Lebennin Marines, the cooler looking Pelargir marines and all that

[@kinggingernator2964]

Gr1nd0r yup divide and conquer is so nice... agreed it would have made this battle even more epic

[@patrickrogan8100]

Bob. Synn and Kuro are true geniuses. Love the historical scenarios. Big fan of the lore. Keep 'em coming Apollo!

thanks and yeah big thanks to those guys for making battles like these possible

[@DirgeOfCerberus111]

Hey there Apollo, how about this as a Third Age scenario? Just a rough idea. The defenders are in a extremely advantageous position, not necessarily bottlenecks so no boring Thermopylae situation, but are just difficult to reach, and are composed solely of elite units. The catch is that they are outnumbered by the attackers 10-to-1. OR... Another idea. Orcs are laying siege a city. The thing is that the attacking Orcs are actually outnumbered by the defenders rather than the other way around. The Orcs are made up only of elite units and the defenders, while much more numerous, and made up of the absolute lowest tier units possible. I don't know how that would play out but it seems like something interesting enough to worth a try.

[@bloo6639]

DirgeOfCerberus111 all fun and games till you see an all gold chevron army because the troops are cheap as hell

[@Tribune_of_Italia]

Anyone remember when PA made a video without an all caps title for the name of the battle? I don't

[@MasonBryant]

Is it a problem?

[@martinlopezhowe]

Staffaynu It isn't even ALL all caps.

Many years ago the mangonel was released, oh the great destroyer of dreams and its flaming barrels of justice (apollo you should celebrate the mangonels birthday)

yes it came with kingdoms.

This is normal Third age or DAC or MOS?

[@TLAKDesigns]

I really enjoyed the fact that you were well informed in lore/total war tactics and could explain it without wasting any time. As a person that has only watched the movies and read the hobbit (and felt satisfied) leaving that world, and never playing total war. I was kept interested with what you explained without being overwhelmed with knowledge! A very rare skill! I am now subscribed! keep up the good work!

[@jvaawesome]

DAAAAAMN PA, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE 1 HOUR UPLOADS!!

[@serbianfanatics9315]

Apollo, your videos are so much fun to watch! I lose track of time every time i stumble upon your channel.

[@azentra7560]

I like how Apollo never realised that the Black Numenorians holding that on choke point and killing multiple elite units were actually 3 different units of Black Numenorians. Still impressive, but 3 units of them killing 2 units of Swann Knights and 1 unit of Dwarves is a bit less impressive than 1 unit doing all that😅

[@sentinal2337]

I cant tell you how much your commentary makes the game something lots of us look forward too. Keep up the good work Apollo, more Elven battles when you can...Thanks again..

[@vampirecount3880]

im buying medieval 2 total war just for this mod, it looks awesome

[@Wexxor]

Vampire Count i think its just a custom map, havn't seen this in the regular mod.

[@durrrhurrrderpderpderp9932]

True, but the mod itself, together with all of the submods are fucking awesome!

[@brunokopte1347]

You won't regret it. After you get tired of it, use the Divide and Conquer submod, with a lot of extra factions, custom settlements and so on.

[@will2777]

it's only $2 on G2A

[@durrrhurrrderpderpderp9932]

And don't forget the Massive Overhaul Submod, Fennas Drunin (iir the name correctly, search on TW forums "third age submods"), etc... They're all awesome and great.

[@stephencardamone7578]

The best one in a long time ! Love all Apollos videos

[@looking4dad517]

Imagine if a movie trilogy was made on the history of Umbar .

[@looking4dad517]

the first movie would like Gondor sieging umbar . the second ,harad tries to retake it .finally the third movie would be the civil war and plague within

[@BlackKnightTWBG]

Wow! That battle was amazing! Especially those black numenorians made an epic stand!

[@fellavttt2675]

I didn't watch yet, but That's why the defenders lose when they are the good guys.. Unlike this battle, they are always heavily outnumbered.. Love you Apollo

[@SynnoftheDarkCloud]

nice scenario there pbob ^^ looks very umbary xD

[@paladinbob1236]

my thax[bows]..perhaps another city battle [dale ..might be on the horizon..fingers crossed :D]

[@lennartmackies2064]

what i don't understand: the corsairs that can be seen in the movies and their ships look much more like a mix of asian pirates and mongolians. The haven of Umbar in this battle on the other hand looks so clean and "gondorian". I can understand that the mod does not have the assets to bring a movie version of umbar to life but it is a shame nevertheless :/. Or maybe Peter Jackson took a high amount of creativ freedom and Umbar was not as cool looking as they did in the third movie.

[@NiekGAE]

At this time it was still (Black) Numenorean, despite obviously having a population of mainly Haradrim its lords were Numenorean so the building style will mainly be Numenorean as well. As Gondor was Numenorean as well its logical that the two rather look alike. There's obviously plenty of creative freedom in the movies to make the corsair ships look all evil and such, but also its in a different time.

[@pawezdziech7120]

Synn - how about Command and Conquer submod? Wanna download and try. What do you think about it?

[@MrVictor1227]

That battle should be played in Third Age:DAC there are the Faction Havens ot Humbar,Who is a very solid faction,sad we didn't see they

[@brothersmakingmovies]

Let's see: A awesome battle of titanic proportions? Beautifully designed map and units? Inclusion of the deep, rich Middle Earth lore? Engaging commentary? A photo-finish ending? The good guys emerging victorious? It's confirmed: This battle had it all. You've got yourself a new subscriber :)

[@michalrojas1206]

Personally: when I see videos or stories of gondor fighting the corsairs and Harad, it always make think of Athens vs the invading Persians

the way I remember the time frame of these battles before or after the war of the ring is one quote from the movies Bilbo invites Gandalf in for tea and offers him a drink saying "laid down by my father, 1296 almost as old as I am" (concerning hobbits)
