Rome was on the rise, having just subjugated Egypt and expanded their control over the Mediterranean. However, this did not sit well with Kush, who was a long time rival of Egypt and even assisted Rome in their conquest. But when Rome failed to honor most of the deals they made with Kush about land consolidation, Kush decided to get back at Rome. To do this, they sent an offer to Carthage for help, who was more than eager to deny Rome more control in the Mediterranean. They also beseeched the Ardiaei for help too, who's pirating of the naval shipping lanes are being choked out as Rome expands more. Rome soon hear reports of a Kushite and Carthaginian armies marching towards them with an Ardiaei fleet sailing along the coast and staying close to the Carthaginians. Knowing that they need help, Rome call on their vassals of Athens and Nabatea to come to their aid, and they all meet up at the port city of Alexandria. As the Athenian forces finally landed and all forces gathered, Roman troops on the walls can see the armies of Kush, Carthage, and Ardiaei on the horizon. As both armies make siege preparations, it is clear that the fate of Rome's control of Egypt starts here.....
I do love how all these battles show you, why battles didn't happen in real life when people were that evenly matched. Cuz so many casualties on both sides. Attackers would just wait outside for a few months
I'm shouting you out in my steam review. I loved this game, but I never really understood why my battles were always close or why I would lose battles I had the advantage in until I started watching your siege battles. Keep the content coming.
How does this dude not have 1 million subs!?!? Please share! this is one of the most worthy you tubers! also more lotr please? I have been watching Pixalated Apollo since he started, gata love this guy!
Pretty sure Apollo would be an amazing general in the old days. Humble enough to know that Kush helped him out, and Smart enough to point out exactly *how*.
Love your videos Apollo. You got me back into playing OG RTW agaib and I opened a game where I was playing as the Greeks...which I thought was cool considering your new playthrough on the remastered. Keep em coming.
Love the battles more than playing them on my self 😅I sent you a battle to on mail and I know you would love it! Thanks that you are still doing that;)
Apollo here is a little tip for Hoplites when you charge them into combat or hold position put them in Hoplite Wall so they last longer and harder to kill and they can get like 100, 200 or even more kills
If you wanna flank make sure you have another unit cover the back of the flanking unit if you have with what and olso space for it and you definetly had
Do troops die from falling walls? Also, I've been watching this game for years and I'm still trying to understand how the developers created such a good game in 2013
I've got 600hrs on rome 2 it's worth it for some of the mods alone that overhaul it. I'd invest if you enjoy the time period and don't mind waiting a bit for multi games on occasion
Apollo I really think you should do more Divide et Impera content, some of the units and changes that mod makes can create interesting battles. Please consider this :D
Please leave streams on the chanel after they end.
Look at the very bottom of my channel main page. I have a playlist called “Live Streams” you can find the video there

Absolutely beautiful

It did happen, it was just very rare, and in this case casualties were horrible, but especially on the attacker side
Look up a video about the Siege of Jerusalem by the Romans (If im not mistaken) gets you a good image how bloody and desperate sieges can get.
I enjoyed playing this game so much!!! Perks of being an Apollo Knight

33:11 Athenians not fighting in formation Romans fighting in formation and one leaves the formation
The Centurion:Pulo get back in formation
Had to watch it like 3 times but it happens
Get back in formation you drunken fool
Pullo! Single formation!
Apollo start insulting the helmets of my ancestors
Me: why are we here just to suffer
This doesn’t even make sense
@@TheAurelianProject Im sure its just your minus IQ or lack of common sense.
Ah you missed my super cav charge in the back, killing like 200 archers. You can see them die at 27:55, thats why i didnt look at my pikemen.
he also failed to comment on the hits his units took at the very start lol
26:18 that romans shoulder got literally obliterated and it exploded with blood but the guy is like 'tis but a scratch
I love how humble you are when playing or reacting replays.. keep it up apollo, you are doing great!!
Pixelated Apollo: look at this combo
soldier headbutting: yeah!
Pixelated Apollo: Romans and Athens cool!
Soldier headbutting: ohh *cries*
This battle helped demonstrate Apollo’s Insane FLANKING job, great battle well fought!
By far the best gameplay I’ve seen you do Apollo, 11/10

The bad Omni in the bigginging😂😂 this is what I watch every morning and before I go to bed. Thanks Apollo😅
I love when you make the battles so unpredictable even when you fought in them yourself
Was fun playing with you Apollo :)
Just woke up and never clicked on a video so hard in my life
relateable comment but a terrible username🥲
@@Willoops lol
Rome II never gets old
all siege battles are so OP I love binge watching these

Soldier: General! The trees!
General: Are the gods trying to tell us something? Are they laughing at us?
Me:
Pixel: Oh that's a same unit.
Auxiliary Infantry: Excuse me WTF?
Great stuff man I can't wait to see one mil subs
Love your videos Apollo. You got me back into playing OG RTW agaib and I opened a game where I was playing as the Greeks...which I thought was cool considering your new playthrough on the remastered.
Keep em coming.
Let's gets this man to a million subs by new years. He deserves it.
I watched this battle in the livestream and re watched it in this vid. That's how good that battle was.
I found your channel while looking for some mount n blade now im hooked to this rome 2 sieges
Yo apollo I was kush in yesterday’s last match had so much fun playing with you❤️
You forgot to add pharaoh to that god like list and great vid Apollo keep up the amazing work!😃
Nicely done Apollo, was impressed with your teammates also :)
All hail the floating palm tree , may you bless us for a good video
Excited for the streams this week!
Love the battles more than playing them on my self 😅I sent you a battle to on mail and I know you would love it! Thanks that you are still doing that;)
Wow; excellent quality on the video replay! Thank you for the content.
"But most importantly...it has...floating...palm trees" ahaha
I love watching your videos and rn I can’t do anything since I have an earache so it occupies my time and your vids are the best

Love the vid u r such an inspiration for me and I love the vids and I love your content thank you for keeping us entertained
Love the use of the sections easy to follow the battle!
i watched the stream and saw all the "club levy" comments XD
been watching since 09, i still love it
His first vid was seven years ago what?
@@roguenugget242im pretty sure it wasnt
Go check my guy it was seven years ago
@@roguenugget242 my bad, but the point i was getting at was that apollo is still amazing from the first time i watched him
Ye
Apollo: get flanked romans
Romans: uno reverse card
Apollo: I don't care another unit flank them
Good work Apollo with the Ardiaei is one of the more challenging factions
Epic video! Definitely go with potato helmets...that works. 😆
0:3 yes am ready!
Will u ever play Rome remastered or do sieges on Rome remastered or will u just do the campaign??
Btw love the vids just asking
The multiplayer on is messed u0
Great to see another quality vid from pixie
Apollo immediately finds the trees glitching out so funny 😂
The thumbnail never leave me disappointed
Marian and Pre-Marian Romans in the same battle. What a chaotic joke.
I just love these napoleon 3 Two kingdoms gameplay 😇
My favorite videos are your Rome 2 videos
Good battle
im sorry i love to sleep to your vids its awsome haha
glorious upon glorious siege
apreciate apollo for playing Illyrians for the first time in his videos
Nice vido bro
Pls make more Rome 2 siege battle ❤️❤️💯
If you wanna flank make sure you have another unit cover the back of the flanking unit if you have with what and olso space for it and you definetly had
You may have outflanked my outflanking! But I outflanked your outflanking of my outflanking!
Another great stream PA, love the in depth tactics used😃😃
at 35:28 one hoplite is like
hey apollo
That was an awesome battle, almost makes me want to play Rome 2.
All hail the floating trees of wisdom and battle!
ahhh so relaxing And apollo Im with my Siege pants.
Really enjoyed it 👍👍
Would love to join in one of these massive battles but man I think I'd be rusty, more of a hinderance lol.
Damn end of the clock win nice
Beatifull battle!! Love it
Finally we see Attackers winning
Journey to 1 million is real!
That floating tree omen is right outta Macbeth.
LOL the trees
Do troops die from falling walls?
Also, I've been watching this game for years and I'm still trying to understand how the developers created such a good game in 2013
Love this game ! And I don't even have it just watch Apollo .
I enjoyed watching the game on stream, now I can also hear it!
I love yesterday siege battle apollo playing Sparta
When I see that one side is Rome i already know who is going to win
Apollo: "Are you ready for another Rome 2 Siege Battle?"
Me: "Is the Pope Roman Catholic?"
35:20 audio line up perfectly
I’d like to play in these siege battles so bad 🙂🥺
the amount of Uno Reverse Card in this battle is baffling
Crispy siege battle
finaly some game sound
Woooow what a cool fight
Greek campaign please! Been waiting haha
Love you man
"We're at Alexandria"
Okay. That doesn't narrow it down as much as you'd think.
Alexander named like 10 cities after himself
Don’t be a smart ass. When people say Alexandria everyone thinks Egypt
I caught the stream, epic battle!
I'm rooting for attackers as soon as I found out that Apollo is Ardeei
Idk why but I've never seen those seige engines
Hey, do you recommend this game? Because I am thinking to buy...
