Hey Apollo! Hope your doing well man. I’ve watched your videos since 2014 when I was in college, now I’m an old man(30 haha) and still watch your videos. I can’t play TW as much as I used too (yk family and all that) but man your videos bring it all back. I love history so I really enjoy your historical battles. Thank you for what you do, many a long night spent falling asleep to your epic battles! Appreciate you good sir
I figured out the faction alliances: The Arverni wanted lands belonging to the Nervii, and so France invaded Belgium. The Nervii and Iceni have a long-standing alliance by marriage, with English troops already stationed in Belgium. The Arverni call upon their French allies, Masilia, to join the fight. Macedon had previously warned the Greek exclave of Masilia not to make any hostile engagements, and joined the war on the side of the Nervii. Predicting over-extension, the Seleucids join the fight to weaken Macedon, for an impending conquering. Seleucids bring with them their Bactrian ally. The Armenians, possessing such resentment towards both the Seleucids and Bactria for genocidal atrocities, send a contingent of volunteers to aid in the war in Belgium. It was World War -1.
Thanks for posting this video because it gave me a chance to watch this battle that I missed in this battle and what me and my team did wrong. But was also nice to see what the defenders and my team was doing.
GAME RECOMMENDATION!!! Hey Apollo there is a game you have not played on the channel called “Yes Your Grace”. Brief breakdown… it’s a game where you are the king and make decisions for your kingdom with your decisions leading to your ending. Seeing as your are the best role play UA-camr on the platform you would make this story and game so amazing to watch. Please check it out and hopefully one day we’ll get a play through!
also i'd never use archer ammo on arrow towers at the first layer. Only in the inner rings cuz it's the choke points they are defending, but they seem to give up the walls at some point so, bit of a waste
Pikes are not worth the cost for the attacking forces, but as a defender it's not a terrible idea to have at least 1 unit in reserve at the final point to hold a chokepoint, the attackers will have likely used most of their ammo by then but it's still a gamble.
As an old hardcore multiplayer before chat got removed from the game this battle wild lmao. You got multiple arty, wild tactics, push throughs, pike stacking and mf deployables! Would have had everyone quitting before the battle even began back in the day lmao. Bringing back lots of great memories
Great video! Pikemen are good lads if you know how to use them, they're just support troops used in siege defences helping from behind another unit or defending on high ground
I love the idea of Baktria backing off from that first wave offensive to regroup , remind me of realistic war where it would be multiple waves and battle would last for several days
I've been on a minor bingen of your videos lately - mostly 1212 AD and Dawnles Days - so your new video, is most appreciated. Just one note: I always get salty when you say things like "archer-fire". Archers don't fire, archers let loose :D
the defenders win ... what a shocker :) there was a lot of micro management mistakes on both sides . cool content though , rome II battles are fun to watch . siege battles are just too dull to play and they take too long , not to mention defenders have huge advantage if not nerfed by rules .
@@franciscocardenas4774 well nowadays the standard is to release a cheap dumpster fire and put it out over the next 10 years until it's just a charred dumpster
Only way to win on defense is with strong faction good map and incompetent attackers decent attackers are the norm for the player base! But thabks for the good video always enjoy
Good on defense and attack if used right it’s just most rules allow only 2 each game max and archer or pika will destroy them in seconds so the best is to use em for last and hope there is no range units with ammo anymore
Which faction in this battle is your favorite? Thanks for watching!
Please, get mutt
I personally like the selucids more😅
Bactrians , Team Alexander the great
Hmm all and FYI I’m waiting for shogun
Armenians, I love the cav from them
I don’t know how new this intro is but I like how quick it is we just get straight to the battle
Fr
I loved the new style of intro Apollo and I am so glad that you are doing Rome 2 siege battles again. Cant wait to see you hit 1 mil, cheers!

Missed these videos after a long while! Shoutout from your international followers from Congo!
This was like in Braveheart when the Irish fake charge and become friends. 6:25
I love the intro of the terrain and factions. Thanks for the video Apollo!

Beautiful battle. A great watch, and a wonderful display of tactics.
Love the new intro, helped me understand the game more as a new person

Be quiet 😂😂😂
That last group of Celtic warriors was pretty much the Steiner's offensive
The change is great, awsome intro, epic music. Congrats Apollo on another great video!
Been watching for atleast six years on different accounts and I still love the videos
Can already tell this will be Good keep it up apollo ❤
My boy back at it again with another banger they didn’t disappoint
GAME RECOMMENDATION!!!

While everyone appreciates your new intro, i was always a fan of the old ones too! You’re pretty cool man!
Thank you so much for the video I love your Rome 2 vids

me, having the video on background, looking at time to time, then i got confused. 12:11
I love the new intro!
Video is awesome as usual
This was a good battle to watch

Im ready for an ancient struggle!
It’s so great to see Rome 2 again

Yes! ROME 2 gameplay!
Its so much more intense playing it compared to watching it for years i just got into multiplayer battles very demanding
Props to the Arverni player
Thx 😊
@@henryvandeweert289no. Be quiet
Great video! Pikemen are good lads if you know how to use them, they're just support troops used in siege defences helping from behind another unit or defending on high ground
the times Iverni used the move order glitch to get past enemy inf is crazy
Rome 2 is such a beautiful game :( I wish they’d kept up with it more
those were some sick screenshots.
My second favorite GA 🍑 after Herschel Walker. Lfg Apollo!
Pikeman can be very good in defense, but they should always have sword backup nearby because they cant maneuver well.

I really missed tw battles commentary. Sad that navy is not getting developed further in tw i really love these half naval half land battles
Even in sickness we're still putting out bangers!!!
Another W video from Apollo loved this battle and the attackers have my skill level in Rome two LOL 😂
Seems like we’re on the same level then ( I played arverni )
lets goo he's back to rome 2!
You had me at Shrek
Hi Apollo I’ve been watching your vids since four years ago and just keep doing what your doing it’s really helping a lot of people
The new intro is 🔥
Hi Apollo! Hi everyone else! Please be safe and I hope everyone enjoys their summer!
nice editing
I know why no Lusitania/Iberian tribes but it doesn’t make me any less sad that we don’t see them often.
Love the content hope you feel better in no time
Haven't been keeping up with my boi lately G but aye we back with it bed time lullaby type shid.
Been waiting
I think the more edited style for youtube is a much better option.
The stream was fun yesterday, first time I've been able to catch you live Apollo! Also, H.T. Wells is my favorite writer 🤣🤣🤣
It was fun to play hopefully he uploads it
Yes , this is how to open the weekend with some great battle
Great battle, would it be possible to put attackers and defenders at top of screen as have trouble remembering who is attacking and who is defending
Please more ETW! I already asked you earlier during your last stream but I neeeeeeeeed iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
I could swear ive seen this battle before.
the defenders win ... what a shocker :)
there was a lot of micro management mistakes on both sides .
cool content though , rome II battles are fun to watch .
siege battles are just too dull to play and they take too long ,
not to mention defenders have huge advantage if not nerfed by rules .
will there be the same tournament as last summer even this year? That was super fun
Luv you appollo ❤❤❤
Baktria certainly didn't feel like the attacker this game
I know and it lost us the game.
i remember way back in ancient times when new games would come out that werent complete garbage.
Wasn’t Rome 2 like an absolute dumpster fire at launch?
Yes it was

missed so much the twr2 videos
I love Apollooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
the mistake players make when using pikes
using it as a line
use it as a square: works much better
Rome 2 is back 🎉🎉
Man, I have missed watching these types of battles. I'm 3 mins in and I jizzed in my pants. Keep them coming 😂 and thanks for the throw back game
Weirdo
Looks like the meta has really changed since the chat removal
i noticed you said push thru, is that banned? when i play with mates we always self rule that u cant spam click to force thru lines of men
Rome 2 🙌
I thought pikemen were good for what I had seen in his previous videos. Can anyone with experience tell me if they are any good
Good on defense and attack if used right it’s just most rules allow only 2 each game max and archer or pika will destroy them in seconds so the best is to use em for last and hope there is no range units with ammo anymore
Mycelia was just full charge all units in the center
Apollo, how you feel about KCD2?
Did I leave the country for two weeks only to come back and see two new Apollo Rome Two videos? Yes yes I did
Rome 2!!
What mod are you using?
is this from the live because i was planning to watch that later otherwise.
Nope
wow
Where is your Azu Campaign in Shogun 2 Toltal war Fall of the Samurai
defenders used wooden stakes. Not a fair fight for the attackers
Bring back the army comps
Hey where is mount and blade 2: Bannerlord (big fan too)
He posted a thousand Bannerlord videos and when he takes a break for a few weeks y'all start hassling him 🤣😂😂
Is Rome 2 worth it even if I already have attila?
Yes 👏
Im sorry to say Apollo but most of the armies from the dlcs are op af and thay is why they are bamned in most games
What is the name of this map?
Yes, we're on the defensive, why?
How can I play this game
Is Apollo mutating?
Armenia got pikes and elite archers?as i watch it I also see Armenia axes
Sus
I'm so dossapointed how bad pikes are in this game. :(
i dont think pikes are useles, you just need to know how to use them in battle
RAHHHH FIRST
First, and i love your videos man
Hi

You could add mods to it to make it more interesting.😊
First
