you could've hired from the cart, and consider hiring defenders. Also you seem to be doing just as much friendly fire with your pila and may want to try just sword.
@@evagelospapamixail9139 yes, he could afford defenders. He does not get them though because he wants a full army, sorry if I sounded a bit aggressive with the other comment.
@Preacher but what about late game where he has the money to spent? and when he agreesively advaces to take forts he could afford them (now if u mean it in a buggy way i have seen many other youtuber videos where they buy defenders so i am pretty sure you can access them cuz after all the enemy does have defenders)

I've been playing it for about a day now and each map does present challenges. By the time I made it to this map, I thought I'd solved it. Approach, fall back, let them fight, pilum, pilum, charge. Worked great until green materialized to my left from behind some bushes and dragged me from 19->8, forcing me to fall back. My only gripes have been the standard-bearer insistence on standing in your sight picture, as you saw in this video, and prolonged battles do tend to end with you spec'd out and rolling in cash. Also, in the early maps it's kind of annoying spawning under the stairs of your base.
1. You can hire at the wagon 2. You don't have to fully enter the base to start hiring. 3. A good strategy would've been to let somebody else capture the flag so they weren't close to your base during the fighting. 4. Maybe try using Defenders! 5. You're doing an awesome job and great game :)
I was patiently waiting for about 2-3 days since I first watched your first video on the game and couldn’t wait to get the game. However, I didn’t know that I was going to have to buy it with real money and I’m not allowed to buy them only free games. Now I’m super sad, but also so happy that I have an amazing youtuber to quench my thirst for the game. Thank you so much Apollo.
I beat this map without upgrading anything. I just went straight to the neighbour's fort. Waited for their army to leave and then I attacked that and took it. That wiped out that faction. I then went to the next fort and did the same thing. At this point I went for the mobile flag and died a whole lot of times, but because I had 3 forts I was making lots of money and could just keep on attacking the enemy without a worry in the world. Before long I realised that the enemy kept on running for the mobile flag so I went to the side of their base, waited for their army to go for the mobile flag and then I captured their base. So finally they couldn't spawn in any soldiers and I just slaughtered them. I actually forgot about upgrading at this point and realised I had well over 1000 gold so I probably could have upgraded a few things to make my life easier but I didn't need it.
Hi Apollo. Just observing that you have a tendancy to leave live enemies behind as you move on to your next objective. What's happening is that when your soldiers throw the enemies over with their shields, it doesn't actually kill them. So basically the enemy is on the ground alive and well (albeit a little dizzy) and you're moving away; letting him have his way with your a... behind. So to speak. Oh. And another thing. I tend to go for the forts early on while everyone else is busy with the wagon. That's how I've been winning that particular battle. But your way works too. At least I learned about the gold thing. I missed that one.
I hope that they make it so you can pick which time period you want. Right now you can only play in an early time. For example you could pick a specific battle and that will change the equipment to match the time period. That’s why the legionaries are wearing chain mail like auxiliaries units because that was an early point in Roman history. If you could pick an older battle than the militia would be auxiliaries and the legionaries would wear Lorica segmentation or segmented iron plates like the standard in shield wall. I’m also hoping for more factions and formations.
If I was a rebelling against apollo I would say "Have you ever seen apollo fight shoulder to shoulder with your fellow legionnaire,sword in hand or do you just see him throwing his pila and running. Now men we March for the loyalty to are men to are generals,forrrrr Rommmmmmmme!" It was quite cool when he was getting hunted and didn't suicide
Love how Vercingetorix just appears from behind a bush as the last of his people and takes you all on, embracing his fate with honour. Mind you..it’s his fault for going for a leak leaving his men to get overrun.
@@kubaGR8 This just made me think of a strategy. If you are defending and have the maximum amount of troops, you can kill a few of your offenders and replace them with defenders. The defenders will throw javelins into the enemy. The weakened enemy will eventually break through your gate and attack your offenders. After defeating the enemy, kill your defenders and replace them with offenders for a counterattack.
Was more than happy to pay for early access today and enjoy the three missions multiple times :) I really look forward to what they make of the game in the future. One thing you will find is that a simple loop becomes apparent and that mission 1 is, in fact, the most dynamic thus far. The other two are simpler in that you can always rely on the AI rushing Mid. So use that and get all the bases over and over while they mess around in mid. Cannot wait for pvp. I love humans!!!!
Alliances possibly where two barbarian factions join and the color blends would be neat, as it seems that the player eventually becomes much stronger than them
Many thanks for the videos you have put up dealing with the this game. I brought the game after watching them and hoping to support the developers with this fun game
The gold per minute upgrades only apply to the flag that your standard bearer is near. It says "gold per minute for the flag" and your gold production only goes up when you are near the flag, and it is only for that flag. If the standard bearer dies, no more bonus gold production until he respawns.
Tip for the 3rd map: Don’t go after the moving objective, capture the bases. The other armies will be fighting for the moving objective, giving you a window of opportunity to take their base, that will get you more gold, and less armies to fight, once you have one it should be easy to mop up the rest.
Not sure if you know this Pixie but when you buy the upgrade to the banner that puts the thing on the top, it also gives you access to the horn ability. If you use it right before you charge, it doubles the buff of the banner for like 7 seconds.
hello apollo, ive watched ur shieldwall videos closely, and i notice u LOOOOVE the standard .... , USE THE HORN!!!! , when u use the horn it DOUBLES, the effect of the bonusses u get from the standard. at the end of the game u had +80% gpm, if u use the horn that is for a short period of time +160% gpm, same with the damage and such...

Two Pixelated Apollo videos today???? I love it
Use more defenders they really hold the enemy off and would have helped kind of like when orange took the second fort easily
Yeah was thinking why he still hasn't put defenders on the walls... lol
Ive seen a majority of people playing this game not use defenders...they usually lose forts easily
Yeah I watch other people and get easily destroyed without defenders like to make him see

9:30 Apollo scolds legionary for standing on the cart. Legionary then proceeds to save him from a charging green Gaul.
This seems like one of those games that would be fun for about five minutes but then tossed because it's so shallow.
Mike Wehrer not if the devs keep adding to it, but at it’s current stage it has very little replay ability

supporting since 2016 keep going man u can do it to 1 mill
"I could have used my pila there but.."
Yes, we know. We were all chanting it at our screens.
You can still spawn troops at the middle flag, and defenders will prevent people from taking forts from you you while you aren’t there.
1. You can hire at the wagon
2. You don't have to fully enter the base to start hiring.
3. A good strategy would've been to let somebody else capture the flag so they weren't close to your base during the fighting.

Hey apollo, think you should put some defender in your bases to help you delay the enemy from capping your bases while you're away, late game
It would be cool if you could buy a ladder or some sort of other Siege weapon like battering ram...
You would also need to research it first.
You could hire outside the castle. In fact, you could hire at the flag.
Mr. Night no, you can’t

amazing game, appreciate you bringing this to light. saving for a pc that can actually play it

The best way to play this map is by attacking bases of enemies in stead of the centre. Once you have two bases its really easy to win.
You should hire some defenders
