Knights, Lay siege to the Like Button. THAT'S AN ORDER!!

Apollo a few years ago : * Spends 10 minutes explaining the structure of each army and talking about how some of the units work, also praising the way some of them look. Apollo now: These are all mixed armies, with some special units, lets get into it

To be honest, pitch battles are starting to grow on me. Loved seeing all the tactics today by all the players!!

Apollo, the siege battles are good but a bit samey. Would enjoy seeing more battles like this one.

Man that first cav on cav charge was awesome. I agree with the other commenters I would love to see more pitched battles!

It's an excellent pitch battle in all sense. The way that Epirus kept their line against three enemies armies and at the same time still manages to survived with some units until the end, is very respectable; congrats to that player. =D

Some great maneuvers in this battle. I love it when you zoom out, gives a good perspective and makes the battle that much more real and easier to follow.

Y'know what I'm thinking happened with Syracuse was he had that cavalry and had two choices to make: join up with Pontus, or distract Rome and Epirus long enough for the rest of his team to regroup. He had to make a quick decision and decided distraction was the better option. By the time he realized it wasn't, it was too late for his cav to make any difference on the other side of the map, so he followed through with the original strategy. ^That's the only thing I can think of that makes sense of why Syracuse did what he did.

Despite my now almost constant dissapointment with CA's products I have got to admit that being able to witness a battle this big on a computer game so immersive is amazing. Not even close to the proportions of most real life battles but still pretty crazy. Also I appreciate Apollo's capability of keep focused in the game for so long and always having something on point to say. I wonder if he speaks alone a lot

love this kind of stuff would love to see more historical reenactments like the HRE one you did a week or 2 ago

The moment I saw Rome and masaesyli together on the same side I know it was gg

Oh wow. It seems like all generals lost control of they're troops and every single unit said "screw orders charge!!!"

0:40 showing us good old pontus, as he proceeds to kill his own general with a chariot

I love how chaotic pitch battles are lmao.

Well well well Rome is back huh?

Big fan my guy, since Isengard campaign lol U the reason I got into total war 👍

I ate an unfathomable amount of popcorn watching this one

Awesome, thanks Apollo. Could you do more pitched battle scenarios? I love siege battles as much as the next guy but I feel like you post so many of them they loose their luster

Hyped for this one then

Ah, the classic spaghetti line Rome 2 pitch battle.

Oh yes. Bring on the chaos.

That's what I love these games for. Big huge pitched battles like this history documentary aboout Gaugamela I watched as a kid at 2am on a weekend. You should also try this in DEI. the battles there feel like Napoleonic 3 realistic except with the French being naked not all fancy in uniform.

That guy in the beginning burned all his skirmishers😂

Everyone: Endgame is the most ambitous crossover ever Apollo:

5 minutes after you explained the teams i forgot which team epirus and pontus were on already

This battle was amazing! More pitched battles please!

More 4v4!!! Your 1212 ad and Napoleon do the best!! Pop em out bro

Yay! Starting with the "Blue Pyjama People" from the OG Rome.

That thumbnail gives me memories of 2016 clickbait KZfaqrs.

2:38 "and here's his infantry.... Noble horse" ;)

Amazing holding play by Epirus, love the final charge!

We love you man. I want you to know it. My brother and I have been watching your channel for years. Keep being you my dude. 🙏

The center is always the most important part of the fight in pitch battles. If the center wins then you will split the flanking armies up, and then the two armies from center can help on flanks, and that’s exactly what we saw with the winning team.

I have been playing Rome 2 online pitch battles with big army for years and I have to say that "Rome factions" give their players a huge advantage because they always win infantry clashes, I mean... if you change "desert Rome" and Rome in this battle with other factions they probably wouldn't have won the flank with so much infantry still alive.

These huge battles are awesome! More of these please!!!

Great video man. Just for general knowledge, the cav unit at @3:00 is pronounced thesàlian( th as thrilled, e as the first one in escape, s as Spain, a as American, li as literally and an as anthropology).

Dude really enjoyed this battle pls make some more. Rome 2 battles

Epic battle!

I am addicted to your total war videos xd

I'm surprised the guys on the wings didnt bring in more horses. Could have done some serious hammer and anvil strikes

I love these pitched battles

This is Cinema. -Martin Scorsese

The start of this battle reminded me of the Battle of the Bastards.

The guy who played epirus was obviously very skilled player. Enjoyed watching him getting out alive from 1v3 situation

YO man are you doing okay outside of youtube? I was watching another video of yours from a few months back and you seemed super excited and loud. Here you seem super tired or stressed, maybe im thinking too much. Hope youre okay man, we love ya

That cav commitment is brutal. Wouldn't have done it personally lol.

Keep up the great work Apollo! Still waiting for another third age scenario battle

fiunally a pitch battle

I really liked the commercial trying to sell beer to lesbian health nuts. Let's see how the strategy pays off.

Love the Rome 2 man. 2V2 Bridge battle might be sick.

great content. keep up the good work!!

Yeahhh boiiiiiiii

Amazing battle, but let's be honest: In terms of faction quality, this was never an even battle

post notifacation gang where you at

please more pitch battles these are amazing.

Nice vid

bro amazing stuff, i also like the fact that you did a field battle, there is a but tho. i understand its thousands of npcs so it lags, but i expect better from the best.

This battle paints a pretty good picture of what Total War is today. Massive battle with 8 players, 20+ minutes long. You hate to see it

I really liked the pitch battle, don't see those too often I feel like

wow Love pitched battles !!!!

Love the pitch battles.

Finally, a field battle.

i want a historically accurate pitched battle, when can that be set up

Oh yes

Cool battle, but I really hate when you introduce different armies and you always are showing us their backs xD I mean come on, let us look at their shield arts! Other than that, keep it up!

I've always enjoyed pitched battles much more than sieges. Sieges always just felt like a repetitive grind fest to me.

took long to get a pithc battle

Is there a discord to join for battles like this?

Actually the averni player did very good, after arevaci and galatian defeated they lost so many inf so they didnt have enough men left. Well play from both sides !!

i like your videos

Gotta love Rome,gotta love France!

Apollo I no WE need you do to a battle with at least 1 Pictish faction or simply a Scottish faction

Nice bois

Yep

That’s what she said

do 4vs4 rome vs other barbarian

Pitch battles are my favorite. I feel like each siege looks the same

lets get thissss

Please!!!! Do more pitched battles

Knights, if you like mount and blade like games you can play Gloria Victis. It's pay to play game.

nice

Awesone

BBC PA BATTLES

I live pitch battles

Wow red arrow, exaggerated title, emoji. This is such a 2015 title but eh, good days.

gg

Middle-imperial units with middle-republic and late-republic/high-imperial units... puah 🤢🤮🤮

**POTENTIAL SPOILER** So I'm 5 mins in and I'm gonna bet that the roman/Numidian side will win. Will come back and edit my comment with the results. Yeah, they won. Romanesque troops are too good.

What about bannerlord

7th?

imagine commenting first
