Quick Tip: If your fighting a defensive siege with multiple layers, put the musket units on the walls on the inner most layer (the walls give a reload bonus) and stretch them out to 1 man thick (this allows every man to fire). Then place the infantry/ melee units below them in front of the wall, enemy units will charge the infantry before climbing the wall.(Like on the first layer and then muskets on the wall above on the 2nd layer) - This allows the musket units to have a clear LoS preventing friendly fire - Allows them to shoot for longer as they don't get charged - Also makes your infantry more effective and allows them to win against clearly stronger units as the enemy units get a morale penalty as the muskets are constantly shooting them (Hope that helps) Also side note: Units on the upmost layer of settlement are unbreakable

I have been a fan for many a years, from my time in the Army, to my first birth. Now here we are, approaching the birth of our second child; and your videos still bring the same level of joy. From Mount and Blade to Shogun and everything in between, you have been a staple of enjoyment for my entire family. Thank you PA. I know it may just be a job at times, but please.... never forget that you mean more to us than you give yourself credit.❤

"GET THE NINJAS!" Sounds like a new shirt idea lol

No way you won that first battle. Good stuff

Apollo: you help a lot of us keep our shit together. Thanks for making great videos, man.

I am loving this lets play. It feels like you want to play this too compared to say some of your Bannerlord runs at least based on your voice and passion for this series. Just a tip about artillery. Generally if you see wooden guns they are not as dangerous as they look. They knock down men but do not kill that many. The danger is just if you garrison men on a wall and the wall is destroyed cause that causes tons of men to die who are nearby. Otherwise you do not have to worry about the damage they do nearly as much as you might think. If you see parrot guns or Armstrong guns though.. That is when you should be scared. You should get those as soon as you can as they are very powerful artillery.

That first battle was legendary.

Quick tip Apollo, if you are defending in a siege battle you can actually have your firearm units line the walls in a single line rather than two by simply holding right click on a wall and pushing your mouse up!

Maybe a tip: use one your generals to guard your region protecting it from potential invaders, meanwhile you send your main force to the north to destroy the clan up north. Once it collapses you can resend your forces to the south to retake lost fort. Also research into military early so you can unlock cannons

get in waiting forever for this

and when all seemed lost a council of nobles gifted the aizu 2000 gold. then things started to look up.

I can't wait to see more episodes

Havent even watched and i can tell this will be a banger

These episodes always make my day. Keep up the good work!

Apollo don’t forget to take deep breathes when frustrated. Always good to pause and reflect after errors

Keep up the awesome work Apollo! Glad you're in high spirits!

you should spread the ranged troops on the wall. the one shooting is only the first line on the wall, (drag the cursor after clicking on the wall)

I've been waiting so long for this next video keep it up I literally checked your channel everyday for this video

Loving the series Apollo!

Meke a baracks to rifel units and saber cavlary

Don't stop uploading this, or I will come after you

Even though the videos have lost popularity I am still so happy you continue to make content. Keep up the work Apollo, always watching❤

46:43 "Ca ca caw" - Pixelated Apollo

That was a crazy victory at the start, outnumbered and outgunned but they still prevailed!

I absolutely love these multiple campaigns, keep up the good work Apollo!

Nice video 😂

Love the uploads. I’ve never gotten more than a handful of turns into a grand campaign for fall of the samurai. The whole map usually just declares war on me and spams units.

Hey PA just a few tips 1) wooden cannons are really bad because they cant move and they dont have explosive rounds so they can't really do much. They can however take out your own artillery really easily 2) in sieges if the enemy have a lot of guns, put all your guns at the top layer then spears below. Once all the enemy melee infantry are dead you can retreat your spears to the top and then just massacre the guns as they climb up 3) not sure if you did this already but you can keep like garrisons of 5 or 6 levies in each city to maintain public order 4) make sure you have a good navy otherwise in the later games the enemy will just keep landing in your territory so you need patrols 5) if you are going to be a republic then you shouldnt upgrade your police stations above magistrates and dont get any shogunate infantry 6) make sure to make your home privince a recruiting center because the extra accuracy from the gunsmith and a training camp will be great

love this campaign! the Aizu uniforms look sick. definitely recommend using ninjas in armies! it greatly increases their map movement range

I was waiting for videos to accumulate on your channel, to see them all and this campaign is one of my favorites, although it is getting complicated. I think you should focus only on attacking the North and make sure to use double lines of infantry, to be able to defeat the swordsmen and cavalry charges faster (it is very dangerous that you only use a line of riflemen in Shogun 2, learn from the Battle of Culloden).

Man this campaign has been a struggle since the start lol…keep it up! This has been the most entertaining campaign since the Brenin Mount and Blade one! Cant wait for the next episode!

enjoy your vids man! been watching you for i wanna say 10+ years now. better than cable television lol!

I love those series and the thing that you play multiple campaigns at the same time period. (Bannerlord and TW and other games you play) 🎉

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

I never thought this day or this episode would come its a miracle

We not gonna talk about the poor sap that got head shot by a cannonball @20:25 ???

Apollo this campaign is great you should do a standard shotgun two campaign also

Love this series!

Woohoo a new ep!!!

if youre defending in a siege you can spread the guns on the wall by holding right click and push outwards from the wall. you will have more of them shooting at once

We love the vids Apollo!! God bless brotha

Awesome epsiode cant wait for more

Keep up the staunch defence!

Great episode Apollo nsome nailbiting siege battles. Keep it up!

❤️

Quick tip to make your units run a hotkey( a faster Way to do things) is r. So if you Press R your units Will slow Down or run faster.

Please get mut in kingdom come

This is the best, its gonna be sick when you start taking citys back

I missed you i'm happy you are back hopefully refreshed

Apollo, when in firing line and you're suddenly getting charged, don't say that it's just a general/unit of some kind, act. Turn the guns beside the attacked unit around, so you can provide fire support for your troops! Don't leave them hanging in combat, because they're not trained for such a thing. You could get mass routes and that sort of stuff. Tips and tricks... just tips and tricks...

the shortest 58 minutes of my life, need more of them

Thanks!

GET THE NINJAS !!

Love it

Where were you when Apollo won the great battle of Kill the Ninjas?

Awsome gameplay, if I may suggest that you make peace wherever you can. Southern factions don't seem interested in making peace, so try making peace with northern ones. They should be more prone to it, since you destroyed their armies.

Eggs are good for eating. Ninjas are good for beating.

Spread your musket infantry to as thin as possible to allow more of the unit to shoot at the same time and do more damage Hope this helps

Love the series is Shogun campaigns usually this hard? Might have to get it next time its on sale on steam!

"Ya the reports are true sir!"

"Or, or I'm sir"

And i realy like your content every night i watch your videos thx ❤

Hey apollo when will be a nother episode of kcd I can't wait any longer😢 And keep up the good work men🎉🎉

Fall of the Samurai? Looks like you just T-bagging them.

Unfortunately Apollo, there are no Yari Ashigaru in the Fall of the Samurai but it would be nice to have yari wall. If this is difficult, imagine playing on Master of Strategy mod.

Hello apollo hope you see me im a huge fann❤❤❤🎉🎉

Know I've got to wait 11 days again for the next episode 😢

New content!

All of your allies went to war with you because you blocked their path by not allowing military access 😂😂😂

8:47 ⬛️🟧

Hay we seen this map before in one of the replays someone sent you

I love shogun please do it more campaign ❤🎉😅😊

Guys does anyone have any fixes for my and my friends co op on shogun 2 fall of the samurai we get stuck in like turn 30 to 40 its just a turn end freeze. And on my schreen i see that he has a turn but on his schreen it is my turn non of us can do anything like move upgrade ect. And it is consistand even if we set back the save or start a new campain the most we got to was 70 turns and the same problem.

👍👍👍

Please don't get the wooden cannon , it is very bad😂

My steretegy: 4 yarikacy 4 gun 2 cavlary 1or2 artilry

I've been playing Chosu, oon turn 189 ahahah this game takes long

Realm of Thrones coment -----------sorry for spam You get giants from the tavern in Thenn now. There used to be the northern village but now its all from the tavern in Thenn.

47:50. Wut is with ya gunners standing still? Are u accidentally clicking a hold fire button or something

WE WANT BANNNERLORD!

Southern front is collapsing milord. Thats sad sometimes early campaign turn slugfest, but it is what it is. Keep the spirits up!🎉 But fr tho, maybe should consider vassalize new territories or weakend enemy to have us some breathing room and consolidate, even if they betray us, we still got buffer region and 50% of their income. Also sometimes weakend enemy won't take peace even if they have no troopsnis because they not see your force, just show up your army inside their territory, no need to be into the city is sometimes enough to make them reconsider the peace

Once you scouted all of Japan with your ship just cash it in to get that extra income Edit: I was literally at 42:00 when I commented and then I see your ship sink a minute later 😂
