Obviously, the only way to make the defenders win is to make Pixie one of them.

"May I talk to you about our Lord and oppressor, Melkor?"

"Guys I know that you hate when I say Harad instead that Rhun but, hey, they are really similar, I mean maybe Rhun is more elite but Harad have giants elephants etc... 20 seconds later: "So guys Harad is pushing true the street" I mean, seriously Apollo?😂😂

Nah, Morgoth would crush them all and turn them into orcs. :D

Should I watch this or do homework? Edit: 5 years later I can confirm I did watch this instead. Still got to uni though.

nice, snacks and drinks at the ready ^^

And to think this whole battle could have been avoided if the black numenorians has just Apollo-gized. Ehh? Ehhh? I'll get my coat.

All I can think about is during that one part around 22 minutes where Arnor is using their first series of troops during that downhill charge and how it must feel to be one them. "Dust rose from the ground, sticking to the sweat that had begun to pour down my brow, blood running into my boots and further staining the dark, tainted earth in which I stood. My sword was ready, but I was forced to stand and watch as my fellow people were fighting these new foes. All I could hear was the shouting of men and the whistling song of the arrows played on bows as a violin would. It was a dark, yet ethereal and spiritual in it's bloody and gruesome massacre. All I could hear now was the constant whistle of arrows, sometimes felling my brethren and pulling out their last cry and breath toward the unforgiving and merciless sky above me that threatened at every death and stain of blood to fall down and smother what hope I had left. I had come to fight orcs, but man stood before, taunting me and plaguing my mind. It could not be man, as the Easterlings and Haradrim that had fought before for this Dark Lord, of whom I had staked my life into defeating, but a dark abomination that had to be put down. I cried in challenge at this cruel, macabre scene around me, challenging that same sky to do it's best, to strike me down with all it's supposed power. It answered back with a ball of fire that astonished me in it's quick and decisive answer, and soon I was taken away from that accursed battleground of death."

"words are hard!" "*something,something* of JUSTICE!" "and this is it!" "he should not waste his ammo!" "Look at this armor! it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!" "it is gonna be a big issue..." "aww and the catapult!" just some sentences we hear and love in every video of pixiepoo. Love it every time!

laughed when Apollo went on a rant about Rhun/Harad, then immediately calls them Haradrim. #Elvesneverwin

Finally Black Numenorean diversity!!!!!!!!

"I gotta watch what i say" a few replays later: "2 in the front 1 in the back"

And so it begins... Rest in pieces me, rest in pieces.

holy hell thats a large battle! rooting for the defenders! Black Numenoreans all the way

Elves always get the short end of the stick, ELF BIAS!

This battle has me pumped! Keep up the great content Apollo!!!

It's sad to see what Miles did with the High Elves. Shame! Shame! (Imagine the nun from Game of Thrones here)

ok pixie your killing me this battle was AMAZING!

Easily one of my favorite battles. Talk about a battle for every street with surprises around every corner. I think I really enjoy these better than the new TW titles...until Rise of Mordor of course :)

@34:42 "Melkor will be very happy... and give them extra chicken legs"

Who do you think has the best armour? I say the noldor elves...what do you choose?

Wow this looks great!! Cannot wait to watch this!!!goob job APPOLO and players who made this happen

I love your videos man, congrats!! It's nice to see someone keeping Third age alive, and doing it very well!! Greetings from Brazil!

Today we should ask ourselves who are the evil ones here? Arnor and the filthy elves invaded and slaughtered hundreds of Numenoreans based on their religion and belief system. Have the Numenoreans ever done that? The Numernoreans are extremely accepting people. While other races in middle earth hate and slaughter orcs due to their birth defects, the Numernoreans accept them as part of their society and even give orcs a chance to serve and lead Numeronoreans in battle. Furthermore, Numernoreans and the servants of Melkor are the only people who appreciate the trolls and the poor spiders who just want to be accepted. The servants of Melkor are also courageous yet compassionate. In Numenor's hour of need, Rhun came to support their friends and died fighting along side their Numernorean comrades. Finally, the courage shown by the lone Temple inquisitors and shadow guard archers prove that even if they are surrounded they will keep fighting to defend their homes, cities, families and future. As you can see, the Numernoreans are not the evil ones they are merely defending their right to live in a world where no matter your race or religion you can live without fear. MELKOR PROTECTS!!!!!!!

Miles the terrible suits you well! kappa

The ideal total war video consists of pix's commentary, players of the likes of synn, paladin, Kuro, miles, son of imladris with an epic third age setting. Been waiting for this for a while buds glad you uploaded

These custom scenarios man... I can't believe how good they are. Probably the most entertaining battles I saw in any TW game!

Really enjoy how you break down the army compositions before the battle starts. Great scenario as always. One caveat- once I saw Rhun as a reinforcement army I knew attackers would lose. 3v2 would have been a closer finish or maybe make the reinforcement army orcs for balancing. Thanks for the upload.

Now Pixelated Apollo, what did you learn? That's right , when your given a chance to defend a easy position your going to take it.

Who’s watching this in 2019

Enjoying my throwback to your old Middle Earth scenarios. Awesome video Apollo

They should make the battle:Dagor Dagorath

This Temple of Melkor looks very eastern.

apollo i think you should make a civil war orc scenario, that would be great :D

These are the kind of battles that made me fall in love with this game. Thanks keep it up Apollo

The film got Rhun pretty mixed up, they guys in gold armour marching into Mordor matched the description of Harad from the books, and the big giveaways was that they were flying black serpent on a red background flag of Harad.

50:45 - 51:10 ohmygod i laughed so hard here 😂😂 youre the best !! Apollo !

Long Live MELKOR

if I was the elven player I wouldn't have attacked the black numenorians, I would have set up a defensive position to specifically destroy the rhunic army

Apollo's baby burning commentary was so freaking hilarious!

Where was Gondor?

RHUN HAS APPEARED IN THIRD AGE REFORGED I'M NOT GAY BUT SOMETHING GOT VERY HARD AND BURST THROUGH MY CEILING WHEN I SAW THE GOLDEN BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RHUN HAS FINALLY GOTTEN SOME LOVE!!

that Olag Hai I was like i want to see something else bit also him dying, and when he said lets watch something else I was like NOOOO hahaha

Funny fact: in france in XIV century a pig was hanged

Hey pixie you're awesome, been watching for two years now, always a pleasure. Can you please tell me which music you usually put in your vids? They're epic. Greetings from the Netherlands!

Miles doing justice to his name :p

A little bit of lore on this temple. just because. Sauron had ben subjugated by the numenoreans Massive armies, so he gave up and turn himself in as their prisioner. Using his cunning with words he slowly gained the King's trust and slowly convinced him to build a Temple to Melkor. In this temple they offered human sacrifices to Melkor.

You were cracking me up in the middle, talkin about how the trolls are endangered and how the soilder will tell his grandchildren what it feels like to be kicked by one "not good.. Not good" 😂Love it!!!

*Welcome to the Temple of Melkor. This is a custom Scenario made by Synn of the Darkcloud! Thanks for watching and Enjoy :D*

Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about the dark lord Melkor?

Who still watchs pixelated Apollo's old videos when it's already 2022 me I love his old video's

OMG YES THANK YOU PIXELATED APOLLO!!!!!! Awesome battle of Mordor having an entire elite army of Black Númenóreans!!! Definitely my most favorite unit by Mordor besides the Nazgûl

0 dislikes yay good job pixie I am a straight not gay I just always wanted to say pixie

i liked that you pushed out, that made the battle way cooler =)

His old third age always have a special place in my heart

The amount of times you described a defending unit as nasty was truly off the charts :D

The part - "Why am I still talking about burning babies?" is awesome. :) You have pearls of wisdom I never heard before. Many thanks to you Apollo.

Hey, i just found your videos yesterday and i ended up bingewatching the LOTR themed ones! Thank you so much :D

after 44 days without wifi, first thing im doing is watching your vids....lots of catching up to do.... great vids man lots of love from the netherlands

You always upload videos that you win the battle in, so we always know the end the result of the battle before its begun. There's no surprise factor in it.

When Pixie said Maybe they burn little babies, I laughed my ass off

I learned from this video to never trust Apollo with the last line of defense, and he probably asks KZfaq to pay him in chicken legs. Learn something new every day

How have I missed this one ive watched so many of your lotr battles and I love rhun there like a more fancy elf faction so beautiful

That Olag Hai was the champ. Given the opportunity i like to pull back my depleted forces if i know their gonna die anyway

53:50 this cracked me up haha, when he turned tiny i couldn't stop laughing

I never normally watch 1hour plus videos, but i always do when it comes to these third age videos!

this battle was great!!! miles sucked a "little" but thats ok he was already screwed when they started. And in my happymeal i whould like some chicken elves and french anorians and as surprise gift some black numenoreans with trolls. apollo was good (like most of the times)and synn did a great job defending the first layer and joey i loved watching same as happy meal just because they where arnor!! with this being said lets wait for the next battle in middle-earth and wait for my happymeal

I have seen screenshots of this (on synofthedarkcloud's profile) i was hyped and knew it would be big as soon as i saw it :D

Let's make a game. Everytime you hear : Hammer and anvil : drink a shot Losing there ammos on cheap units : half a pint of beer Nasty trebuchet shot : 2 shots Frendly fire : give a shot to someone. Let the batlle begin !!

Apollo great replay, you play this mod as a fine general, despite what some say about defenders and good guys never winning. You and the other player did your job to the best of your abilities and that's all we can ask for. The attackers did a great job and put up "Such and end! As to be worthy of remembrance!" - King Theoden. Thanks again Synn!

dude I am your number one fan. keep doing your third age battles

instant like😊 love it when you do battles before third age. love stuff from the silmarillion etc. 😁

Elves ever get helped. Always regards playing with them lol

Those steel bowmen are something else alright. they mowed down everything that got in their way. Both at range and in melee.

Not sure why but i love the part of the video where you introduce the armies. It's my favourite bit.

GG what a fight, i genuinely watched the whole thing, as opposed to using it as a background thing (to game and watch youtube at the same time), it was amazing :D

>Tfw Pixelated Apollo realizes most of us don't even have friends so he reminds us of the discord group xD

54:28 that soldier is my hero! 😊

Apollo, you and your allies fought very good, BUT this AMAZING Fight from Arnor against Rhun, Orks and your Elite troops WAS JUST AMAZING ! :D ---> I LOVE THIS BATTLE

the way that you apollo say at end about defenders win is so .... so .... words are hard today haahah

Huzzah! Melkor grants chicken legs to all!

New drinking game: Take a drink every time Apollo says "butchered".

It seems Arnold always good back n never fights until their allies are dead lol

Thank you so much pixey for third age!!! Love u!!!!

This ambushing easterlings just jump trougt the windows. This is fair

awesome video!!!! unfortunately i'm sick but now i can watch all of your videos! i won't sleep this night

Main theme of the battle : "baking babies" ;D

I love how the elves are in that formation. It's cool looking

41:58 Just in case anyone was wondering, Khamul isn't the reason the Easterlings worship Sauron. They were corrupted by Morgoth almost as soon as they appeared in Middle Earth, and since the departure of Morgoth they worship his second in command, Sauron, as a God-King figure.

Another Third Age siege battle... This is what I have been waiting for. Thank you!

His abos are still growing thats nice.👍

Je suis heureux que les méchants gagnent! Je suis tout le temps en train de les soutenir :) Great video!

I would like to see this siege replayed and more epic. Thank you for all of the amazing videos

Two in the front, one in the back Unfortunate catapult shot, LOL

"Melkors ultimate fantasy paradise land" Does not sound that bad actually.

You and sin the dark cloud playing on the same side is like a cheat code. 💯

amazing work Pixie keep up the good work, I recommend more dwarves

40:20 "Two in the front, one in the back!" What kind of porn is Apollo watching?

Facing Pixelated Apollo, that's no easy task ❤

"2 in the front 1 in the back"lmao
