I can't tell you HOW LONG I've been waiting for you to release this replay! Pixie my man, I've been your fan ever since I've discovered youtube. 5 years ago my dad almost died from a 30ft fall, and I was sent home with a neighbor and waited inside for hours waiting for news of what happened. Instead of going outside or doing something productive, I watched your third age videos instead. It really helped me take my mind off the traumatic experience and my dad fully recovered! Don't ever give up your quality of videos and content!

Hey Apollo, if there is any chance u read this comment, I hope u know : 1. Blobing units doesn't mean they block arrows easier, it means enemies' archers get more killed 2. U can not let Heroes Of Sparta take enemies' projectiles or fight a healthy high tier infantries as Spartan Heroes have fewer men 3. Galation Legionaries, Samnite Warriors, Noble Sword of Getae can put up a good fight against Tribal Warriors and they might win

Love it. The only thing I would have done differently was when you abandoned the square for the final stretch to the "Alamo". Instead of defending at the mouth of the approach, I would have done a typical Spartan tactic and formed up further back so the attackers would have committed more troops in the throat of it, fought until the units were almost destroyed and THEN released the flaming testicles. There would have been nowhere for the attackers to go and more of them would have been caught in it.
