"Archers are key in this battle. (Which is why I sacrificed most of them after 5 minutes)." - P.A., 2020
Ha
Lmao chocked in my coffee
(Apollo joins the battlefield!)
Also Apollo: so this is where i do a costly mistake.

Athenians: Our navy Is unstoppable
Spartans: We about to end their whole career
More like we gonna conqeur you ending that career
Athenians: our navy is unstoppable.
CA: we about to end their whole career
Thanh Tran quite accurate for real life, Athens had a large navy but a Sparta conquered the land and was able to build a better one
Funny joke
@@rhyono020_5 Well, not so much build a better one as much as borrow one from the Persians
We need another siege tournament Pixie
Maybe a Third Age/Medieval 2 or a Attila/ 1212 AD tournament? Just to mix things up.

Honestly I would love to see a Sparta vs Athens tournament. Athens could show off its versatility and Sparta could show how it deals with Athenian variety with their hoplites; it’d be lit lol
Sparta won that war a tournament would be useles as histicly they were better at warfare its their specialty
Delano Van raalte
True, but Athens often had its effective methods, or so I’ve heard.
No mercenaries though
No mercs to be used
Finn Bailey Finn Bailey Finn Bailey what's your argument for that?
They were actually one of the smallest (and arguably the weakest) military forces in Greece, with their army numbering only a thousand, and that was at its peak.
The only reason they're famous and heard of today is because they stood at thyrmopalye against the Persians, as a last stand to cover the retreat of the majority of the Greek coalition's forces. And you know that whole 300 spartans vs 1 million Persians is a lie, right? Firstly, the spartans weren't the only ones there, holding the Persians back-- no, initially there was around 10,000 Greeks at that pass(only 300 of which were spartans), but since defeat was assured; Athens, and some other minor Greek states fell back to engage in guerrilla warfare later on. The spartans and a bunch of thespians, helots and thebians (numbering a total of around 2000) held their ground to cover the retreat of everyone else.
So to sum it up: it's a myth that 300 spartans stood alone against 1 million Persians. And Sparta only had 300 fucking soldiers at that pass-- now compared to the total number of the Greek forces, they are (were) considered a MINOR nation. Very minor. Athens and Thespians made up the majority.
Another thing to note: the Greeks would have lost the war if it were not for the Athenians. Their large navy and army was the only thing that stopped the Persians. I mean c'mon now; they became the leader of the coalition for a reason...
archers:*exist*
Apollo: so you have chosen death
Both sides knew their advantages and disadvantages. That's why Spartans always tried to catch the Athenians off guard before they hop into their ships. And it is also known that when the people of Athens went to the oracle to get advice they were said to never abandon the wooden walls that protected Athens, meaning the wooden ships. And the Athenian general Periklis always said "We will defend in land and attack at sea". Proud to be Greek from Macedon. We came to play a little later. But that's also the problem with us folks till today. We cannot just stick together. If only the Greek states combined strength and never let loose...
Ise ellinas?
Take Back Constantinople 🇬🇷
That should have be done after the persian wars rome macedon and persia would never have be able to take them over

If the Greeks combined, it would have been a pretty neat combination of skillets and overall tactics that may have lead to a later even more unified and powerful Rome as it’s successor.
@@delanovanraalte3186 Rome was greedy they would probably, remember I said probably postpone the inevitable.
''They are hitting me with artillery. That's ok'' *meanwhile, five spartans burn alive*
“Spartans want to be surrounded”
*Thermopylae flashbacks*
Yes
My grandparents moved to the U.S. from Sparta so...my loyalties in this battle are sealed. Nice work as always man!
When everyone has historical reasons for loving Sparta, but you love them because you associate them with John 117 amd the Spartans from the Halo Universe 🎃
@Caleb Knoll battle of 100 dont you mean 300?
@Caleb Knoll its 300
@Caleb Knoll but true, 300 was awesome
I'm simply fascinated by warrior societies. Unfortunately for Sparta, their attempt to build utopia ultimately resulted in their downfall.
@@coyotejohn3101 Utopia? Sparta was a particularly ruthless bunch of slavers.
Hey Apollo another classic rivalry that never appeared on your channel: Rome against the Parthians ... it would be fantastic. Another idea: a 4v4 battle with all cheap troops!!!
Or Macedon vs literally everyone to the east
@@Callsign_Prophet ahaahahah yes
Alberto Sosso those are some good ideas I hope they happen
Spartans when they see arrows flying at them: *"We fight in the shade"*
Our arrows shall blot out the sun
@@Yeeeter all the better we'll fight in the shade
I'm actually Greek and I love when Apollo talks about my countrys' History! :D
Lolzyy
Were you born near where Athens or Sparta used to be?
@@thalmoragent9344 I'm actually from Crete , just like the unit the "Mercenary Cretan Archers"
@@thalmoragent9344 Greece is much bigger than that ._.
@@imperatorcaesaraugustuspri5319
I know, I'm just more familiar with the places near those, and also places like Thebes and the like, but I know Greece is large 😅
Spartans talking to Athens: YOU SUCK
Athen:😮
"Grab your snacks and drinks..."
Me have no snaky me angy REEEEEEEEEEE
THIS IS SPARTA
I would love these type of videos more - the real enemies against eachother (In this case Athens/Sparta)
I'd definetly watch
My mans as much as I love watching you, you should be like a god at this game by now lol
You're really, really good at talking up a battle that you know you eventually lose. I was almost convinced at one point.
This is why I had such high hope for Total War : Arena, its hard to micro manage 20 units, ships, cav, inf, range, artillery etc. It would be so cool to have a 10v10 where each player had 3-4 units or a specific role, but in traditional Total war gameplay
PA u are the best UA-cam ever
Edit: when can u do more third age total war?
You need to do a battle with the spartan anthology mod it adds awesome units for Sparta as well as reskins many units
*doing homework*
me-"Oh a new Pixelated Apollo video is up"
*click*
It's really good to see you back on UA-cam we have missed you
Put the army in the face of death where there is no possible escape and they will not flee,they will not be afraid.
Put them on death ground and there is nothing they cannot achieve-Sun Tzu
The Spartans put this to good use at Thermopylae and Platea and so did those Thorax swordsmen
Sparta may have the military but In the end Athens has the Greek capital
Freaking epic! Hate to see Greeks fighting Greeks but still, a classic Hellenic Age battle.
Beautiful!! MAKE MORE OF THESE!!
Apollo: gotta be careful of firing on your own troops there.
*Apollo regularly risks shooting his own troops with archers and occasionally artillery*
An amazing battle great tactics from you Apollo, and doing great with hoplites vs a heavy sword faction, GREAT BATTLE KEEP IT UP!!!
Yes Apollo keeep it up
Awesome battle! Love the gimmick/scenario type of clashes!
I started watching your warhammer vids and I loved your battles and these siege battles are epic
SPARTANS WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION!!!
I guess "Ahoo, ahoo, ahoo!" is a profession....
War
"Ahou" is how you say it.
Glory!!!!!!
Chronically Unemployed.
That's the best thing i could possibly watch... 🤙
Go ATHENS 💪 (as an Athenian)
Apollo: “And this is a fight we are going to win”
The result at the end: “Valiant Defeat”
😂
A big part of the reason why Athens was so Superior in Naval Combat was because they control the main port and a lot of times they would tax the Spartans and their friends so if you are getting tax then that means that you were losing money and money for sparta wasn't really there thing, they didn't trade too much
Rome vs. Sparta/Athens
I wanna see that battle soo bad. Doesn't matter if its siege or open field i just wanna see the battle.
#NBBC
For the pocket, their general told them to hold the line till their death... And they accepted😭refusing to give up👍 (even against all your soldiers and trash talking)
Watching this battles is more fun than watching a game of the NBA...This channel kick ass!
53:58 when you are fighting, but still have to buy milk before the store close
If I attack u right now I would win and destroy Sparta, ur city wouldn't rise ever again.
Sparta: "if"
MilosO what happened though
@@thejackman687 well when Phillip of Macedon concord a majority of Greece he sent a letter to a Spartan Kings saying thet first pharagraf I wrote up there (maybe not exactly like thet because I wrote thet from my memory I didn't really look it up). Spartans answerd whith only one word "if". Neither Phillip or his son Alexander concord Sparta. But they concerd rest of city states.
MilosO nc English
@@LiewLmao well sorry
Sparta had faded in relevance. Enslaving most of their population has its consequences. Also says a lot that Alexander the great didnt bother with sparta depsite destroying the persian empire, wasnt worth the time.
29:22
“IT’S EVERYWHERE!!! IT’S ON THE WALL, ON THE CEILING, ON ALL THE TOWELS!!! Wait... HOW’S IT ON THE CEILING?!?! AGHHHH!!!!”
Apollo, I honestly can't believe you haven't hit a million subscribers. Your videos are AMAZING keep up the great work
love your vids Apollo
keep the hard work up
Sparta needs a sword unit. Literally one sword unit would make them a good offensive faction.
Baby Yoda right you are
Depends on how much you daily eat
They should have one they were very effective in sword combat💯
Divide et Impera solves that issue; there are no weak factions in DeI. There are strong factions and stronger factions.
TeammateNATE yeah see to me that would have been cool. I haven’t played war hammer or anything, but I’ve seen how they have hybrid archer/spear units. Sparta should have had a hybrid heavy melee/heavy spear unit. So they could swap between sword and spear. Would have been legendary and probably very OP
As an Athenian I am with Athens!
Super!
As the son of an Athenian, I am with Sparta!
Athens will fall by your so called diplomacy or by our spears
Glória to Athens !
Athens suck should be shamed
Thanks for the vids keep it up
LOVED this playthrough
Can you pls do a Rome vs Carthage battle. This likes me really intresting.
(Sorry for bad English I don't speak English)
"unfortified settlement, which means there's no walls"
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
Fortifications (at least in the real world) do not necessarily imply walls.
@@antred11 thanks to your reply i saw my typo in the comment, thank you.
But yes it was a joke about the game :D
@@restitvtor439 LOL, glad to be of service. :D
This is epic man 🤩
Apollo: Glorious!
Me: GLORIOUS!!!!!
Athens mainly due to their navy and decent army
24:00
Hear that Javelin “Machine Gun” fire and again shortly after? Didn’t know the Athenians invented the “Javelin Gun.”
Get it? Like a Gatling Gun but a “Javelin Gun”? Wow. I’m so funny.
My names BeeStrell and I’ll be here all night with granola. Why thank you. Thank you... *applause*
Super entertaining video!
Popcorn and water ready for some juicy rome 2 battles
You forgot the voting ^^
This should be sexy
Edit: I am with Athens
I have to call you out on pike stacking 😂 but great content dude
Pixelated Apollo never disappoint!
Sparta all the way, as you can see it's in my profile picture
No.
To Hades with the Athenian empire they call a "league!"
TEAM SPARTA!!!
You're disgusting, To Hades with spartans. Athenians suffered the invasion of Persia, and Sparta didn't wanna help them take back their colonies in Persia after the sacking of Athens 480. So why are you cheering for Sparta? Sure, they helped Athens win the war over Persia, but that's something I wouldn't say, before knowing the whole story.
@@MelonPython believe me without Sparta city states had no chance
@@MelonPython you're calling someone disgusting over the side they're taking in video game? Dude, it was roleplay.
@@panzerpriest9220 Picking a side, without knowing the whole story yes, It's like picking Germany in WW2 without knowing what they did.
@@taxiarchiskalyvas8198 Without Sparta state? Persia would've demolished them too. There wouldn't even be a Sparta, what choice did they have? It was either move to Korinth or leave Lakonia.
Really cool battle. Make this a Peloponnesian War series!!! Because it would be awesome to see Sparta defend against Athens instead of attack, since defense is what Spartans are made for.
Awesome battle!
Well, i'm with Athens with all my heart, but Sparta, they're more likely to win....
Although I’m sure you know this, but yes Sparta has a good military but their true strength was propaganda. That is clearly evident because the stories we still tell of them today and how exaggerated they are yet still believed.
Factually, the most popular Total War UA-camrs are not necessarily the best ones. However, I personally would LOVE to see a Total War UA-camr's Total War Rome 2 Tournament. No matter the layout I think it would be great to see Pixie, Legend, Heir of Carthage, Jackie Fish, Alex the Rambler, Republic of Play, OfficiallyDevin, and any others I may have forgotten, compete in a Rome 2 tourney. Field battle or siege, single knockout or best of 3 I think that it would make for an absolutely LEGENDARY Total War tournament. One of the best things about all of these Total War UA-camrs, in addition to their skills' is their fantastic commentary. Please make it happen, and if you don't...... please know that I will still love you all nonetheless.
I personally am a fan of Sparta but it has nothing to do with 300. I just love the fact that the Spartan army is so disciplined. Athens is cool to though. I love Ancient Greek and Macedonian history in general.
I love this game so much and your videos!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me to
I love these open city battles
Love you apollo!!
Just the kind of Athens vs Sparta fight I like to see
Oh yeah great battle
Ive actually never heard of athians until I watched u pixelated apollo
14:14 "The flank is opening up"-- it also is opening up to you as well, when you rotate units especially pikemen in a flank, the pikes then create a vulnerability on the enemies side of the line. If implemented right it could backfire.
very good video i love it
Amazing battle
I both teams And I seeing your channel 2 weeks earlier and really you are channel is awesome
We ❤️ You Pixelated Apollo!!!
For your next weird army composition you should do cavalary only except you cant be Parthia.
Your a legend!
are the blood-effects il default or do i have to adjust it by myself?
i haven't been watching on this visual effect so i dont know, if its in the default effects. and i'm too lacy to look after this now
I think the reason to the one athenian unit which was surrounded didnt die quickly was because almost all of your units which was surrounding the athenians didnt break them because they were exhausted!
And the athenians were fresh
In Rome 1 there actually as a game mechanic by which a unit, if completely surrounded would sometimes fight to the death rather than break, so it was a good idea to leave at least a little gap for them through which to run away (you could still mop them up _after_ they broke).
I really hope that feinted retreat was planned near the end there
Apollo, you are a superb tactician.
Hi Apollo I love ur vids best youtuber ever
Very brutal battle
Once team Athens, always team Athens
You should have a series of videos based on these battles
Challenge for you: choose a low tier unit like club levy but don't choose club levy and spam it
Un-walled siege battles are always brilliant, I'd argue the best form of Rome II battle.
It's been a. While since I played (no MP) if you only do land battle with on both side, only hoplite (not even the last tech heavy, and no archer, arti) does the battle last 3hours?
32:37 I think those swordsmen could hold for that much time because they were fresh, they haven't been in combat, not like mostly all of the Spartans they faced.
Apollo:loves athens but goes with sparta
Spartans all the way baby!! Love it pixie. Havent kept up with ur vids in awhile.im sorry! But as always I love it!
So I've been wanting to get rome II for a while to play multiplayer but do i need to buy all the DLC to do that? Will it lock me out of certain games/factions if I don't get them?
