the battles are epic but i mean the gameplay is bad,the good forces had battle advantage and stronger troops and they still lost because they allowed to be flanked,it was painful to watch really lol
arnor really shouldnt have abandoned gondor. that was a really strong line, it only broke because of the flank. If they were going to withdraw, it should have been together. Also, an all cav reinforcing army is pretty useless when the attackers know exactly when its coming
@@MrDave1468 Yeah but the charge of the Rohirrim was super unrealistic. Horses don't tend to run straight into heavily armoured people. Cos it hurts like hell. They weave in between gaps allowing the riders to cut down people trying not to get hit by a horse. They also don't just hit person after person without losing momentum. In real life that charge would've been halted maybe 10 rows deep (if they would've done a suicidal charge in the first place).
lol years late but yeah it’s kinda bs… It’s basically just the enemy team getting free meta game info to prevent the cav from doing anything altogether. Feel bad for defenders. They got faked over…
Before watching---> Defenders gonna lose and apollo as always is gonna say that they don't Edit : for late arrivals, note that the comment is written in the first few minutes of the video and that it's just my expectations.. so it's not a spoiler cause it's not guaranteed..
THE DEFENDERS ALWAYS LOOOOSE! JK Apollo. I've seen a lot of your videos to know that defenders don't always loose. Plus it's more epic to have the odds stacked against the "good guys." Great video Apollo (despite hitting your mike twice). Also, as always, great scenario Syn of the Dark Cloud.
he was trying to sneak unnoticed and to come from the back of the blob causing a chain rout. personally i think it is a good idea, cav would be useless in the fort defence and defenders have infinite morale. Calculated risk
As always a great job is done to third age. These kind of battles with rules, like the cavalry allowed to show up later, give extra entertainment to the battle, because something new is coming you want to watch. Amazing commentary with some humor. Love to see battles like these during my homework :D
WUT? An hour of pure third age siege is it my birthday? (Ps birthday in 22 days sooo hyped apollo could you upload a long siege battle on the 27th of November- it would be nice, love your vids- hoping to make vids soon on total war, please like so apollo can see this :)
Apollo is in denial ! Total: 59 Siege/Defense Battles more or less, i might have missed counted a few. Defenders Win : 14 Battles Attackers Win : 43 Battles Draw : 2 Battles The Defenders Win 23%~ of Battles and lose 73%~ The Attackers Win 73%~ of Battles and lose 23%~ One of the draws the defender manage to run off with one horse that's why it was a draw and not a loss... So yeah Defenders always lose! Love you Apollo but you wrong.
Pixelated Apollo Defenders "Almost" always lose would be a more correct statement, but yeah the defenders lose... a lot.... I agree with you on the last siege video that the Trolls are the saving grace of the Orc armies but that applies on 1v1s with equal number of troops, while as you can see in the last minutes of this battle the orcs easily managed to push past the defenses with sheer numbers alone, the trolls made it waay easier to just silence much needed archers and catapults without actually having your army break through the enemy lines, just send the trolls and keep clicking them there, they can run past any unit blocking them, at least this is why i think they are completely unnecessary in siege battles with overwhelming number of attackers, maybe Cave or snow trolls are okay but definitely not Olog Hai
Son of Imladris You sure do bro Lol It's just the fact that when the odds are heavily in favor of one side, it should make it epic for the other to win.. but when it just does not happen and the odds are too much you kinda lose faith in that expected heroic winner even before watching the battle Love watching your battles though They're awesome Keep up the good work along with the other guys
33:33 Actually there is another way to attack, sending in one unit of heavier soldiers at a time to preserve the majority of troops and tire out the enemy, reducing their overall fighting capability. It gives the catapults less targets and thins out enemy ranks in the end.
Idk for this mod, but smaller elite units usually can do better face to face against larger low quality units of the same value, so to be more specific the elite line should be wide enough to allow all it’s soldiers to attack but at the same time containing the enemy in front and avoiding being outflank.
I remember a year or so ago when you did a bunch of medieval 2 sieges and everyone complained about the attackers always losing. How times have changed.
I tried to make my general useful by letting him be able to charge, he would have been useless in the town center either way. But they noticed it. #defendersneverwin
Apollo omfg i love you so much you're probably my new favorite youtuber. I was just looking up some crap on youtube like a month ago like "Huge battle WW1" or something like that, and I found a video by you about a Verdun fight in Total War, and it was awesome, so I saw (saw is was backwards oh shit whadup) other videos by you on the game and they were awesome so I'm like omfg this game is the best and you're the best and it's legit perfect omfg i have been so satisfied ever since I started watching you and I won't stop being so
Sorry to comment late, But this was the first Pixelated Apollo video I watch and got addicted to it, Thank you Apollo for saving me from boredom and please continue to post more Third Age Total War videos for I love them, keep up the good work and thank you Apollo... #KnightsofApollo
Mary Pusineri, Its because the players who have been defending always suck. All the defenders have to do is wait for attackers to come through the choke point, and then sandwich the incoming troops from left, right, and center with 3 elite units, and add some overhead archer support from hill behind, add one catapult in the front line, and you have it. With that defense the attackers would need to outnumber them at least 10 to 1 to even have a chance.
The defender's most fatal flaw was it's massive defensive line. If you look at the map. Defending the hilltop where the trebuchet and archers are with a multiple lines of soldiers whilst simultaneously defending the long stretch of land between the main plain and the castle would have made much more sense. The beach landing turned out to be a brilliant offensive rather than a distraction, which didn't help, but still. As soon as one unit thinned out on the main front, the entire front, all of those archers and trebuchets... were fucked.
So, rather than a long line defending both the hilltop and the pathway to the castle, individual fronts for each would have made collapse of the main army impossible.
actually the only reason the defensive line was formed was so the trebs could start firing immediately after getting safe, the defensive line was abandoned once the trebs ran out of ammo and got destroyed, trebs are very slow, getting them up the hill may have beena good idea, but at the time i just wanted to get them firing asap
Reasonable, but unwieldy for such a massive battle. Getting the trebuchets to fire all of their shots rather than firing a few quickly- eh, hindsight is 20-20
yea but also i wanted to have the option to retreat forces to the city, once the main line goes down, it was a decision i made, perhaps it was not the best decision, but then again its hard to tell when its a new map, and when up against unpredictable players. perhaps the evil forces could have just walked past the first hill and ignored it making it even more worthless... in my opinion we did what we could and tried to make it epic while doing it ^^. the only position i think we truly did screw up was not putting a U formation around the last chokepoint, and we should have had the catapult there instead ^^. but it was a hard call at the time. sometimes these ideas only come to you when u watch it from an outside perspective too. i cant say im always playing my best either... im not really trying to win as much as having a good time with my friends in these scenarios ^^. but i appreciate the debate on what may have worked, its always good to debate these things and improve from them if necessary. ^^
this is what keeps me coming back to Total War. The size of the battles. Last time I saw an army that vast I was watching starship troopers and the arachnids were swarming. Sorry Apollo, when you mentioned ants that's what I thought of.
agreed, i didnt expect the attackers to be that anti cav oriented really screwed my cav over this battle, perhaps i should have just kept them back till the very end, but i fell for their trap fair and square in the end ^^.
Synn of the DarkCloud maybe get another player to control a little bit larger cav force if you do something like this some time, because you seemed to have trouble micro ing the defense and the cav making it not as effective
Most of the times when the defenders dont win is when they also historically didnt, so its supposed to be hard for the defenders to win. There are battles where the defenders win, they just arent uploaded yet.
HappyMeal I'm not saying I have a problem with the defenders losing all the time. I enjoy the epic battles. But it is a little silly to act as if its actually a balanced W/L ratio, because it isn't. The attackers win far more often. That isn't a criticism, it's a fact.
and the thing is good forces had battle advantage and stronger troops and they still lost xD because they allowed to be flanked,as if one batalion of swords and 2 archers could hold back an entire army of harad,they got destroyed and harad immediately helped their team heavily
you were supposed to hold the lines where the dunadain archers are located,right bellow them.....and your team should hold back the harad army otherwise you are going to get fuqqed from 2 sides from where they chose to hold the lines,where they chose to hold the lines should had been their "2nd level" if they were losing
Sauroman..the greatest and most vile creature in all of Middelearth. I mean who would not be terrified by the unholy combination of Sauron and Superman ;)?
It's understandable that the attackers usually get more money, especially when it's the evil armies attacking, but I feel like the people doing these give a little too much money to the attackers.
may i know if all your awesome scenarios will be in third age reforged, otherwise is there anywhere for people to download them? same goes for kurogurochan
Great movie, I liked it a lot. Just one question, why someboby would use million tonnes of stone and mortar to build hughe walls, and then do not use it at all? Is it not possible in this scenario?
It makes easier for ranged units in the back to hit the mass of enemies. The melee units aren't supposed to deal a lot of damage, they're here to SOAK UP a load of damage. Just look at how much kills the catapult did - now imagine several catapult units and half a dozen archers units, all firing at a concentrated mass of enemies who can't get anywhere and who don't have the walls to protect them from projectiles. It's a kill zone, as Apollo said.
you have a large army from the right and a small army to the left that has serious arrow damage,they chose to take them both head on which was a bad idea for the reason that they were going to get sandwitched with harad heavily backing up the hordes of orcs....you have to hold 2 lines so those 2 armies never meet each other and make the most of each other,you are supposed to hold 2 lines instead of one
The next time they do this scenario, they need to work on Minas Ithil. It would not have had that sick, greenish look we now associate with Minas Morgul in the LOTR trilogy movies. Wasn't it supposed to be one of the most beautiful in Middle Earth, with its white marble stones seemingly radiating with moonlight?
I think another thing is that Mordor gets around the troll-restrictions by using troll catapults. If the rules state no more than 3 units of trolls, then troll catapults should count to that number.
@@OceanHedgehog ikr the troll units make siege battles to easy. They reck cav the destroy archers, catapults and pike men. They smush infantry and can push past any unit in the game. And troll catapults are op they fire catapults and when they run out of ammo you then have to deal with 5 to 6. Angry trolls. Even if you destroy the catapult they still have trolls to reck you with
I really love and enjoy your videos Lord Pixelated Apollo. c: Every Third Age total video I just watch them in the mornings when I eat breakfast and my breakfast lasts more than 1 hour. When I do homework and projects. It just makes me smile. :D When u said "mini orclings and Orc Lives Matter..." I lost it xD You are hilarious Pixelated Apollo. Regards, Your fellow Sub Jim
Haha you bring up a great point about the cosmetic outpost. Itd be great if you could garrison them with a number of units, similar to towers and castle in games like Battle for Middle Earth, and AOE.
Motherf...............................! Awesome work! Your's is the first channel I have subscribed to! Keep up the good work! If you can focus even more on middle earth and CRUSADES! Awesome
Hey Apollo, if you ever do a scenario like this in your own time I would add a force of Rohan horsemen set aside that can only come out when the attacking force reaches the last defense of the city, to give it that "Rohan saved the day" feeling hahaGood video though but I would have had my archers and trebs fall back to the city as soon as the battle outside was going south. And for the cav that came in 15 minutes after; if they would have stayed back and not attacked (because let's face it you said it yourself they just didn't have any opportunity to do anything) they could have had the save the day feeling when the attacking force was down to its last few units and had the cav charged in you could've gotten the outcome you wanted and the defenders would have seized the day haha BUT A GREAT VIDEO!!
Pixelated Apollo Apollo, I was almost in this battle. I ran into PaladanBob and dark clouds but couldn't join their game because I didn't have this map downloaded. I am so mad now. I will be in one of these videos soon.
Trebuchet master : "I don't understand... What fortification are we supposed to attack? Wait, hold on. Troops? We... Sir, with all respect, do you know the whole point of a damn trebuchet?!?!"
Greatest quote ever from Apollo "They uhh.. They are fighting"
In a fighting video game!
What's harder, keeping up an interesting commentary for an hour, or pronouncing the names of these troops?

wait, so when they lose im just like. "Nope they won i dont care what happened they won"
Pixelated Apollo
Lol
I love that you talked about that in the video
Hahahha
apollo dont made third age 1 -2 months made medieval 1212 ad or medieval 2 cihad battles or ancient empires
the siege battles always end the same way. I rarely watch them anymore. I watch the open battles.
Fellav Ttt fu
"Orc Lives Matter" hahaha this is the best youtube channel. Wholesome, cool, nerdy, funny and just plain fun. Bravo sir. you are a true delight

Apollo is in denial !
Total: 59 Siege/Defense Battles more or less, i might have missed counted a few.
Defenders Win : 14 Battles
Attackers Win : 43 Battles
Draw : 2 Battles
The Defenders Win 23%~ of Battles and lose 73%~
The Attackers Win 73%~ of Battles and lose 23%~
One of the draws the defender manage to run off with one horse that's why it was a draw and not a loss...
So yeah Defenders always lose!
Love you Apollo but you wrong.
"So yeah Defenders always lose!" notice how you said "always". If they aways lose than it would be 100% Attackers win :P
I knew someone would say that :D
Managed to make you answer *.*

Rodolfo Silva I think that just makes it even more juicy when the defenders win
Rodolfo Silva you will see next
Where was Arnor when the flanks caved in? Where was Arnor when Gondorians fought for their lives on that forsaken hill? Where was...
Hey Apollo, guess we have to send you a victory for the defenders for once or they won't stop complaining :D
I guess so
Son of Imladris
You sure do bro
Lol
It's just the fact that when the odds are heavily in favor of one side, it should make it epic for the other to win.. but when it just does not happen and the odds are too much you kinda lose faith in that expected heroic winner even before watching the battle
Love watching your battles though
They're awesome
Keep up the good work along with the other guys
Yeah lets see some great defense when the good guys win for once
Son of Imladris the bad guys shouldn't have experience in their units except their elites..that should balance thing out the outnumbered defenders..
The battles are still great it's just that I want to see the good guys win for once.I'm sure others do to.

And you were the one that scrolled down to the comments

not with on our two good catapult shots and lots of archers
Im so glad you upload third age great custom scenario really :)))

Every time I don't see a dwarf army, I just watch the battle of the Five Armies and see the dwarfs kickass

can we just to a battle of one unit of orc raiders vs 30 units of dismounted swan knights?
its always nice when you stumble upon a old pixie video you haven't seen before

JVAAWESOME Why do you call yourself JVAAWESOME? Also he's most likely in a different time zone then you, making it seem like he uploads early.
Apollo : "this is a battle". Yes and this is a great description of it too.
I was thought up of an idea for a divide and conquer "custom scenario" (
Yes what a video! Love the series keep doing them. And wow am I early!
Wish I could see only a video where Gondor and Arnor unite together and kick the bottom of Mordor! Please, DO A VIDEO LIKE THAT APOLLO!
Great movie, I liked it a lot. Just one question, why someboby would use million tonnes of stone and mortar to build hughe walls, and then do not use it at all? Is it not possible in this scenario?
Forming V-shape at the final point - stupid idea, cuz you waste more infantry on bigger square, instead of using only one unit to defend smaller spot.
It makes easier for ranged units in the back to hit the mass of enemies. The melee units aren't supposed to deal a lot of damage, they're here to SOAK UP a load of damage. Just look at how much kills the catapult did - now imagine several catapult units and half a dozen archers units, all firing at a concentrated mass of enemies who can't get anywhere and who don't have the walls to protect them from projectiles. It's a kill zone, as Apollo said.
you have a large army from the right and a small army to the left that has serious arrow damage,they chose to take them both head on which was a bad idea for the reason that they were going to get sandwitched with harad heavily backing up the hordes of orcs....you have to hold 2 lines so those 2 armies never meet each other and make the most of each other,you are supposed to hold 2 lines instead of one
and they could had taken advantage of the choke point that was on the beach to reduce the arrow damage
That lone Knight actually killed someone,you could see the corpse of a Haradrim in the gateway
Really wish they made a Lord of the Rings Total War instead of Warhammer...
Finally! I live for these moments! =D Custom scenario - one of the best entertainment there is ;)

Maybe Apollo should rig the next battle? Hide a couple thousand infantry in some trees?
gandalfthegreatestwizard And don't forget catapults and archers
Ian Fadrillan I think he was being sarcastic
Adam Buckley Well defenders do need to win, they've lost too many times, and the win the dwarves had defending the blue mountains wasnt enough
I was only being half sarcastic, I need to see those Oathbreakers again... :P
The next time they do this scenario, they need to work on Minas Ithil. It would not have had that sick, greenish look we now associate with Minas Morgul in the LOTR trilogy movies. Wasn't it supposed to be one of the most beautiful in Middle Earth, with its white marble stones seemingly radiating with moonlight?
mordor always has too many troops
I think another thing is that Mordor gets around the troll-restrictions by using troll catapults. If the rules state no more than 3 units of trolls, then troll catapults should count to that number.
@@OceanHedgehog ikr the troll units make siege battles to easy. They reck cav the destroy archers, catapults and pike men. They smush infantry and can push past any unit in the game. And troll catapults are op they fire catapults and when they run out of ammo you then have to deal with 5 to 6. Angry trolls. Even if you destroy the catapult they still have trolls to reck you with
I really love and enjoy your videos Lord Pixelated Apollo. c:
Every Third Age total video I just watch them in the mornings when I eat breakfast and my breakfast lasts more than 1 hour. When I do homework and projects. It just makes me smile. :D
When u said "mini orclings and Orc Lives Matter..." I lost it xD You are hilarious Pixelated Apollo.
Regards, Your fellow Sub Jim
WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!
Im just gonna say it you're the best youtuber ever!
I looked at that row of spears and pikes and i thought to myself,that would work against mexicans.
lol
They work well even with africans
Love the videos, keep it up man.
I hate this castle. very glitchy and buggy
Without a doubt best THIRD AGE TOTAL WAR video from you GG👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👍🏻👍🏻
The defender never wins :(
So predictable :-(
DarkEl _ Don't watch if it is so predictable :/
awesome third ages as per
these videos have become addictive and make my week
gratz for 227 k subs I am subscribed since you had 25k
Haha you bring up a great point about the cosmetic outpost. Itd be great if you could garrison them with a number of units, similar to towers and castle in games like Battle for Middle Earth, and AOE.
Motherf...............................! Awesome work! Your's is the first channel I have subscribed to! Keep up the good work! If you can focus even more on middle earth and CRUSADES! Awesome
When he was talking about the cosmetic castle, all I could think was 'it's only a model'
OMG this is the most fun i have had watching a battle video
Hey Apollo, ever thought about making a "Life of a Soldier" with those units that appear where they shouldn't like that orc at the end?
Popcorn+Mountain Dew+Third Age best combo ever
Apollo you made me become addicted to the italian wars mod. Damnit i need to study apolo
AMAZING Video I loved it man!!!
This battle was one of the best, so epic how the gondor defenders hold the line
I love your third age vids they are so awesome
Again a nice vid keep up the good work
Hey Apollo, if you ever do a scenario like this in your own time I would add a force of Rohan horsemen set aside that can only come out when the attacking force reaches the last defense of the city, to give it that "Rohan saved the day" feeling hahaGood video though but I would have had my archers and trebs fall back to the city as soon as the battle outside was going south. And for the cav that came in 15 minutes after; if they would have stayed back and not attacked (because let's face it you said it yourself they just didn't have any opportunity to do anything) they could have had the save the day feeling when the attacking force was down to its last few units and had the cav charged in you could've gotten the outcome you wanted and the defenders would have seized the day haha BUT A GREAT VIDEO!!
To be honest I saw a LOT of your videos... like dozens really... and I saw perhaps 1 defender win? And I am not sure if even one :D
Apollo's comment is so passionate. Love it.
hey apolo it is great to watch your videos and inspired me to get the third age total war mod
Pixelated Apollo Apollo, I was almost in this battle. I ran into PaladanBob and dark clouds but couldn't join their game because I didn't have this map downloaded. I am so mad now. I will be in one of these videos soon.
Subbed In /0 seconds, that's how you know you're good
Great battle bro I love it 😊
noticed the cavalry in the north inching ever so slightly forward before the 15min marker. well played >.
I always wonder how it was taken by the witch King and now I'm witnessing how it was fallen thank you for this video and this battle.
Trebuchet master : "I don't understand... What fortification are we supposed to attack? Wait, hold on. Troops? We... Sir, with all respect, do you know the whole point of a damn trebuchet?!?!"
