Hey guys! I have a ton of replays thanks to streaming some epic siege battles on my Facebook. Today at 5pm EST I will be playing someThrones of Britannia Siege battles! I hope you can check it out and/or join me on the battlefield. facebook.com/pixelatedapollo/
In history Sparta didn’t have walls like other cities and when a Greek king asked the spartan king at the time, the spartan king pointed to spartan troops and said these are the walls
The roman players were incredibly bad on this game... No synergy between teams, attacking on one single point so they could easily be blocked, commited their troops down the wall way too soon without correctly protecting archers, no coordination between the armies when they were launching an attack... I mean, damn, so much mistakes, it's pretty obvious the game is "unbalanced" in those conditions...
You can never win a siege battle because you were better. If you win as a defender it's because defending is easy. You just camp in great positions and there is little the attacker can do. If you win as attacker it's because you had more money, hence better army, and the defences don't even help that much.
@@johnpescatore7968 I think what ville is saying is the rhetoric people use as an excuse. That the fact you can make some excuse for both sides. Which means at the end of the day it is in fact all about skills
I have never played total war myself, but even I could see the roman's first attack was very dreadful. At the western wall, just mindlessly charging your romans in such a tank unit as the spartan spearmen, is not unbalanced, it's unrealistic and to be honest pretty stupid.
@@commanderraynor6117 Or just didn't comprehend that the Roman troops were only good when working together. They're not master swordsmen. They're trained infantry.
3 years ago, but eyy you still might see this lol, you’re right that most were starved However walled cities have existed for thousands and thousands of years, and many many of them during ancient “times” so like 200 b.c. To 5,000 ish b.c. We’re actually besieged and fought over, this was actually practical at the time because of such large forces, I.e. a lengthy siege would starve the invader faster then the defender, they did that or if an army was confident enough like the well known battles by Alexander the Great they’d sally out and fight a pitched battle, thinking it would actually be more advantageous then fighting in close quarters, which the size of the armies at that time is agree with they’d be better in the open
Surprised that you even need 10 min to see that. I mean that, when you see the reactivity of the Roman player when he get charged frontally by the cav, it’s a good indication of the level of the player
@@kevintheroxor9390 Well yeah, it took me quite some time to realise I admit😂. I just hope apollo finds some good players to go against in the next videos
The Persians didn’t break the Spartans line they flanked their back through a passage that was used for goats or cattle *NO ONE BREAKS A SPARTAN WALL!*
Okay I know this is 3 years ago but cavalry broke spartan walls and romans too as Spartans were known for there bravery but not tactics so it was easy to break there formation.
Looks like you guys wiped the floor with the three Roman players. Maybe they did lack experience... Why didn't they use every siege tower and opened more breaches on the walls? You won't beat Greeks like that... EDIT: my god, they are attacking just like the AI...
I’m new here and I love what I see. I love how good you are at explaining the tactics use. It’s super helpful to someone who’s just getting into this game series. Keep it up man!
Awesome battle. Some very good micro-tactics. Historical fact:When an athlete won an Olympic game his City State would tear a hole in the wall for him to get in and at times of War he would protect this gap with his shield 🛡. Of course it was a symbolic seremony to honor their fellow athlete who exelded
Y’know what I think of when ANYONE stands up to the Romans? “Far from their land As they made their stand A disregarded demand It’s surrender or die And the stakes are high They live and they die There’s no time for goodbye Weapon in hand As they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply They would rather die Broke through the blockade They were finally saved!”
There is a high change this is the harbour city of Piraeus. A key city. Piraeus was of extreme importance, because it was a great way to supply athens without protecting the surrounding area. Between piraeus and Athens was a small corridor, wich could be easily defended, so supplies could reach the city via the harbour, through the corridor. This battle for piraeus is a key battle, because taking the city means sieging Athens was actually useful. Note: this is probably not piraeus, it's just a fan fiction :)
Great battle! One thing I learned quickly while watching your videos is to think strategically. Of course it doesn't take a military genius to know it's stupid to use one choakpoint to attack a city.
While I love to see those battles that are like chess, with each player standing a chance, sometimes, I just really like to see the tactics and strategy of one person COMPLETELY wiping the other player off the face of the map.
if i was a teacher teaching kids about seige battles i would say the exact same things in the exact same order, and then one random kid would say "Hey teacher did you get this from pixelated apollo?" and i would say ".............................Maybe....................."
At 40:51 you reference Sun Tzu. Thats known as "death ground". A situation where you have to be careful to get soldiers in a position of do or die. Typically they will fight far beyond their abilities.
"How perfect would it be to be a spartan archer" Ancient Spartans had no such thing, or if they did, they were vastly outnumbered by what the Spartans believed to be the superior Hoplites.
13:50 The reason defenders are being passive is not a mistake, the reason is a habit from a single player where you usually defending some unprotected (or kinda semi-protected) outposts on frontier, and you know (keeping in mind) that attackers have more than one army, so if you’ll be too aggressive then even if you’ll win there is no guarantee that you’ll withstand a next siege. So many prefer a solid defence rather than an aggressive defence. And the thing is that it does make sense in a single-player campaign.
@@PixelatedApollo1 I agree..but then I was introduced to Mediaeval II first so my decision may be a bit biased. Rome's engine seems a bit awkward for me, but still awesome for cinematics nonetheless.
16:33 that has to be Alexios/Kassandra giving a good spartan kick to that roman. Could you imagine playing this as one of those Hybrid games, going down to play as one of these soldiers.
Congrats pn 500k subscribers Apollo! May your awesome videos continue to thrill us & may you gain more subscribers & supporters over your legendary years on UA-cam.
If the Roman team used actual Roman tactics, which included ~20% of them in reserve even during a battle, they could’ve easily defended against the calvary.
@@minhvo8009 Meh. Knowing a few tips from an advanced player can get one a certain headstart such as not committing the same mistakes noobs are known for in certain total wars, etc. Help from veterans to noobs is usually how to keep a game alive with a proper community.
To be honest, Siege Battles are very hard in Rome 2 for attackers. Because of the many chokepoints and good defensive troops, its really hard to get through as attackers. I played Rome 2 for 400h and I can say, that siege battles are unbalanced for attackers. Even in village defend, the defenders have a huge bonus. Taking walls in Rome 2 is pretty suicidal, since you will lose about half your troops to arrows while fighting on the wall.
Absolutely not. People just aren't very good at it. People don't use their archers properly, the don't use their siege equipment properly, and don't use their ranged siege properly. They focus on singular chokepoints and don't spread the defenders out. The defenders have less money for troops, a cap point they *must* defend, and cannot cover every wall in the settlement. Even then, they cannot cover every flank they have. I have lost my life to Rome 2, with over 2k hours, because I love this game. It has its faults, but the ones you have cited don't exist.
IF you had siege equipment, knocking down walls and turning it into a field battle is actually a fairly easy task. Another way to avoid archer spams is to deploy your own archers to keep their skirmishers busy while moving up your troops, however this could be difficult for the romans as they don't have access to cheap meat shield archers. At least for me, always rush the enemy if you are the attacker. keep up the pressure with your better troops and the enemy will break.
@@commanderraynor6117 Even in close to every total war game, you can kill tons of troops while they are on the walls with archers. Sure its not true for every settlement and defense in Rome 2 especially in the bigger ones but for the smaller ones, with more players, you can hold close to all ways to cap points. The archer bonus doesn't work/works bad at barbarian sieges, since breaching the walls means you are in the city itself, while in Roman/Greek/East Cities you now have to either climb down the walls or even break them.
To paraphrase Clausewitz: The defender has a substantial advantage in every situation as the attacker has to break through while a defender only has to hold
40:56 The Art of War is more on conquering and holding territory, history has shown that beaten armies will usually either surrender or join the opposing army once the battle is over. But during battles it is imperative to kill as many as possible so that if they do chose to continue to fight later they will not as much strength (imo, and also this is a video game)
The total war series was never balanced, it isnt about balance its about enjoying a good clash where you try to do your best with what you have. Im a very competitive player and i do appreciate some competitive games where you have identical sides, chess for example. But sometimes i just want to have fun and play a game where i can roleplay as a general in a dire situation. War isnt fair, why would this game be? Defenders do have the advantage, why would they build those huge ass static fortifications if it didn't offered a clear advantage? So the attackers must counter that with greater numbers and as apolo said, overwhelm the defenders. I do agree the defenders have the edge, but the attackers have one big advantage that is to choose where and when attack, and they did that VERY POORLY. This video is a manual on how you should NEVER attack a defensive position.
If I was a roman legionaire and had to charge something akin to what Pixelated Apollo showed at 37:07, a breach full of spartan pikemen, I'd just look at my commander and ask him: "How about no, sir?"
Wow never expected to see Apollo do a vid of him stomping inexperienced players and gloating when they get mad :D Rome 2 is a great total war game, hope to see more^^

In history Sparta didn’t have walls like other cities and when a Greek king asked the spartan king at the time, the spartan king pointed to spartan troops and said these are the walls
At one point an attacking army marched right by a city thinking it was a town, because it had no walls
Eventually they build wall tho, just far later than the haydays.

Yeah they were bad and made mistakes, but my bet is they were new players so don't be too harsh on them. Everyone has to have a chance to learn. ;)
@@Immort4llity possibly, that's true, but I higly doubt that an experimented player like Apollo would face some noobs.
They look like they have less than 10 hours on Rome 2. What even was that tower movement.
@@farmacerhaiden7979 They did play like noobs, so I'm guessing they actually were noobs. Guess Apollo didn't select them beforehand. ;)
