Hey guys, here are just a few things I want to mention. The GOT Bannerlord playthrough is still going, but I am putting it on pause, because I am working with a really talented artist who is making the thumbnails. So I am giving him time to catch up to the current episode. Also I am looking for one more game to play, so we can have a three game roataion for the let's plays. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching!
Hi PA, I assume your "Let's Plays" rotation does not count the live stream series which is currently Evil Henry (b/c then that would be 3)? Since you have Shogun 2 (turn-based strategy), the Steevin Ironborn Bannerlord mod (strategy RPG?), how about something open world? Witcher 3? Starfield? Red Dead?
Absolutely love that you hate the TW: warhammer as much as I do. I suggest a pretty good one called Last Train Home. Thanks for all that you do, keep it up partner!
Japanese pronunciation is actually simple, a lot of people not familiar overcomplicate it. There are only 5 vowels and one distinct way to sound out each vowel. a=ahh, i=eee, u=ooo, e=ehh, o=ohh. If you remember that, you can pronounce anything because Japanese is basically just all vowels modified by consonants (a, ka, sa, ta, na...). Take for example "katana". All the "a" are said the same cuz theres only one way to say it. So slap in your consonants and you have it: ka-ta-na. So a name like Aizu is sounded out as Ah-Eee-Zoo. Or using some english words sounding the same, Eye-Zoo. So if you remember theres only 5 vowels with no crazy exceptions (like we see a ton in English) then you can pronounce anything easily. Hope this helps
You know in all honesty I’d watch you play anything. I really liked your live streams, I hope it was good for viewers and such. Your narratives and story lines are what keeps me coming back. And when I do catch a live stream it’s always something interesting you’re talking about. Thanks for keeping me sane in the hard times the last few years grinding through school in my late 30s and working full time. Thanks for being an internet friend in the lonely and hard times.
I think when you mix things up like you have been, it's you at your best. I hope you enjoy doing it. I also hope that it helps with getting burnt out on repeating games.
Aizu is an interesting shout. Those traditional units can give some cool play styles. Of course having your Eastern flank up against the ocean can be good for safety as well.
Hey Apollo I know you made a few videos on it 4-5 years ago but have you thought about revisiting Imperator Rome? Recently there's been an attempt to try and revive the game and quite a few Paradox youtubers have been making videos on it this past month or so. If you do decide to play I recommend the amazing "Invictus" mod which greatly improves vanilla and helps balance and add loads of flavor to regions that were not really touched before.
A few tips, if I may: Send the agent ahead of the way so you'll discover hidden troops in enemy territory. This way you can prepare for an invasion on the enemy. Build as much buildings that make money. More money = bigger army. When you offer millitary alliance, offer trade agreement and millitary access (infinite), so your ally can move into your land in time of need. Sometimes try to bait the enemy to your castle/settlement. If you have enough spears and guns, you can defend pretty easily against an attack and destroy armies. I have more tips, but let's see what happens in the next episode!
Him: "Do not pursue! Do not pursue!" Me : "We're leaving Luoyang immediatly! Xiahou Dun, Xihaou Yuan... Do not stop for anything! Listen carefully... Do not pursue Lu Bu. We must focus on escaping here alive!"
bro apollo ur amazing lol, i remember watching ur AWOIAF vid on warband a WHILE ago and was just amazed at ur dedication your channel has grown sm and is well deserved
What is amazing about Japanese history is how quickly japanese scholars, engineers, metallurgist, smiths, and so on learn nearly 50+ years of western technological advancement within 10 years. Japan did have firearms and muskets for centuries, but it was the US who ended the use of muskets, the more affective cartridge rifles. Best game ever tho, I sunk hundreds of hours into Shogun2, and FotS. I always chose Shimazu clan because of the geography advantage, and unique western connects.
Hello apollo idk if your seeing this but can you give a try to kenshi, its an open world rts in post post apocalyptic world, there it doesn't have any limitations of what you can do in the world only your omagination and the engine (because its made in OGRE 3D) and there is a sequel underway on its development, its a hidden gem i think anyone would love it.
This is great!!! Loved the shogun’s TW, the most beautiful of the series really! For the third game, would love to see you play helldivers 2, which is more action focused and pretty sure you would panic as I do while playing it as well hahah
for your third game some ideas: - a difficult game about climbing (good game you can play on stream as well) - batman games (arkham asylum, new suicide squad game, etc)
Remember Apollo. This isn't you playing for us. It's us, watching for YOU! We love your content, Apollo, no matter what you post. Don't worry bout that occasional internet karen. They're going to be crybabies no matter what you do. We watch for you, not the content.
I come to catch up with the content on your channel, I like the choice of playing a Fall of the Samurai campaign, since due to time constraints I have never been able to play that expansion beyond Avatar Conquest (which, by the way, in the 2020 I was lucky that you published a replay of one of those battles I did in the FOTS); So, it'll be great to see you play this campaign with a Shogunate faction (in the past, I've only seen campaigns of Imperials or factions achieving a Republic). P.S: I would like you to do a Knights of Honor 2, Crusader Kings 3 or Company of Heroes 3 campaign.
A bit behind on this so starting from the beginning, it’s awesome your doing this campaign especially with Aizu, I always got my shit stomped on theirs
Try, Star Wars Empire at war. It is definitely different from what you normally do, but I really think you would like it. If you look into it, check out the different mods for the specific eras that you enjoy. Steam workshop works great.
You should check out a game called Battle Brothers, you run a mercenary company in a low fantasy world. The combat is turn based and its a very enjoyable game.
Don't always help your ally as if one of their settlements are captured by the enemy you could always reclaim it for your self and own it(Totally not a bad ally)
I would like to see you play red dead redemption great story.. or maybe kakarot also different and great story. Open world on both so ya love ya man keep it going ❤
Are you gonna make me wait 1 week for the next bannerlord video ? Haha, just joking around, can't wait to see the next video from the new series. Shogun 2 is fire as well !

Possible Divide and Conquer campaign? Been binge watching the Gondor livestream campaign

Kingdoms and castles again?
YESSS! I have been on the Shogun 2 grind and have been yearning for an Apollo campaign :) I will love every second of this vid

Over the years, I've begun to realise Shogun 2 is the best TW ever made.
Great video!

Now this one I really did not expect but hot damn did I want this for a long time!
Turns out, today is a good day. Thanks Pixie
How dare you end the bannerlord campaign.
Very much kidding. I love this campaign. Thank you for the great videos!
NEWWW CAMPAIN>>>>>>> PIXELATED HAS BLESSED USSSSSSS. new game as well which is nice and fresh. WE LOVE THISS. thx mate
Love the Fall of the Samurai series!! Thank you for all your hard work!!
Nice!!! This is a real breath of fresh air from the typical YT stuff I watch. I’m here for it, Apollo. thanks
Wheres Bannerlord? You're giving up on it already? 😏
My man did it already

Hey man, I really appreciate these let’s plays and your commentary/personality. Keep up the good work
Consider putting troops in guard mode, if you don't want them to pursue.
Love the idea of multiple campaigns!
Him: "Do not pursue! Do not pursue!"
Me : "We're leaving Luoyang immediatly! Xiahou Dun, Xihaou Yuan... Do not stop for anything! Listen carefully... Do not pursue Lu Bu. We must focus on escaping here alive!"
I expect nothing less than TOTAL AIZU VICTORY @PA!!
Yoooooo Japan! Lets goooooo!
CRUSADER KINGS 3 CAMPAIGN 💪🏼
Let's goo . I was waiting for this
bro apollo ur amazing lol, i remember watching ur AWOIAF vid on warband a WHILE ago and was just amazed at ur dedication your channel has grown sm and is well deserved
OMFG FINALLY IV BEEN WAITING THE DAY
I had a feeling you are going play Shogunate. can't wait to see this campaign.
Already loving this keep the series goin
Sweet, love this campaign idea!
Literally just got this game and now you are playing it. I can learn from the best now.
yaaasssss! something good! thank you so much!

Best game ever tho, I sunk hundreds of hours into Shogun2, and FotS. I always chose Shimazu clan because of the geography advantage, and unique western connects.
apollo keep giving us banger vids this month
Let's gooooo boy !! Finally a FotS campaign
Play away Apollo!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this for 3 years
This is like a blast to the past we have a shogun at campaign and we have another brand of lord campaign. This is gonna be awesome few months.
this is soooo goodd man keep it up please!!
I’ve been waiting for him to play this for so long.
Im playing a shogunate campaign right now, i was just thinking about how i would love to see you do one after the shogun battle you posted, hell yeah!
You just made me revisit Fall of the Samurai ❤
Excited for how this is gonna play out!
Some shogun content - knew there was some good in this world
Pumped for this Shogun 2 campaign!
respect for metioning mr.smartdonkey, dude is a legend
sure I prefer base Shogun over FoTS by miles BUT I am happy that Apollo is playing MY favorite RTS
I need more of this Apollo

I just finished my Aizu campaign! They're a pretty good faction, you should definitely consider going Republican if things are going too easy.
As far as other games you should play, I think StarSector would be a great one. Not many people know about the game but I think it’s hidden gem
Also it’s not on steam, it has its own
Can’t wait for this series always loved shogun 2
for your third game some ideas:
- a difficult game about climbing (good game you can play on stream as well)
- batman games (arkham asylum, new suicide squad game, etc)
Pixelated Apollo and MrSmartDonkey, what a crossover
This is a great idea for a campaign!!
Remember Apollo. This isn't you playing for us. It's us, watching for YOU! We love your content, Apollo, no matter what you post. Don't worry bout that occasional internet karen. They're going to be crybabies no matter what you do. We watch for you, not the content.
I sometimes forget how good this game is
Yoooo new Shogun series finallyyyyy🎉
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING
good luck long live the shogunate
Digging the game. It's a nice change of pace
Imagine getting gunpowder loads to the face and your general says youre trash lol
So hyped for this series! Would be a miracle if he actually finishes it lol
Roleplaying videogames 👍🏻 I like that, a lot.

P.S: I would like you to do a Knights of Honor 2, Crusader Kings 3 or Company of Heroes 3 campaign.
Go for We Who Are About To Die I’d love to see you play that and I’m sure you could pick up a good amount of views
Maybe stellaris or civilization
A bit behind on this so starting from the beginning, it’s awesome your doing this campaign especially with Aizu, I always got my shit stomped on theirs
Apollo play the halo games, I know your already experienced with halo but it would be cool to see you replay them.
Pixie you should continue Rome two battle like you used to I am a fan that has been watching from when I was six love the video
Do you play civ??
Have you seen the new shogun tv show
Try, Star Wars Empire at war. It is definitely different from what you normally do, but I really think you would like it. If you look into it, check out the different mods for the specific eras that you enjoy. Steam workshop works great.
Could you also do more Shogun 2 battle reviews?
I like when you play games you wanna play man good luck.
@PixelatedApollo1, for the third game, would you like to play Alone in the Dark? It came out a few days ago and really caught my eye.
Still doing the kingdom come play through right???
don't know if you ever played anno 1800, you should give it a try, it got a little bit of war a little bit of city building and much more.
Shogun is on FX so def appreciate.
Apollo you only need 69 k more subs... Nice!
You definitely should try Hearts of Iron IV. If you do, I'll forgive the burp
If you like civil war games "Ultimate General Civil War" was a fun game
Can u please make ur Hud /UI more zoomed like less resolution cuz i cant see nothing in bottom right and left in super small🙏🏻
Yes, RDR 2 would be a great 3rd game. It's early 20th century and has wild west vibes
You should check out a game called Battle Brothers, you run a mercenary company in a low fantasy world. The combat is turn based and its a very enjoyable game.
If you can wait, play Manorlords for the 3rd! Different mechanics from the usual you play, but same theme
How do i fix modes out of date? Is that the reason why its not letting me load any save games?
Don't always help your ally as if one of their settlements are captured by the enemy you could always reclaim it for your self and own it(Totally not a bad ally)
I just started a run in OG Shogun 2, what a coincidence!
Age of wonders playthrough?
I would like to see you play red dead redemption great story.. or maybe kakarot also different and great story. Open world on both so ya love ya man keep it going ❤
when exactly will manor lords release? I very much like when you play those types of games. What actually happened with farthest frontier?
I want more game of throne
Me too
Patience
Good vid
Post more episode its a great historical series
I'll always watch your awesome playthroughs. How about Baldurs Gate III to challenge you?
why didn't you just load the auto-save if you didn't mean to end turn ?
Are you gonna make me wait 1 week for the next bannerlord video ?
Haha, just joking around, can't wait to see the next video from the new series.
Shogun 2 is fire as well !
Hey I just started a modded Aizu campaign. Kinda gave up on it though & went Nagaoka instead.
Crusader Kings 3 would be interesting to watch
