Every time I think I've seen the ultimate battle, you come and top it. This siege was awesome, thank you so much for the fun! P.S. Dol Guldur is a pain for defending siege weapons, happens to me often that they just move without being able to fire.
Hey Appollo, I really enjoy this series and the 1212AD videos as well, they're awesome and so cinematic. I look forward to seeing a new one every time it's definitely a highlight of my day. Keep up the amazing work!
really good video pixeleted : ) i like so much your video. continue like this i will continue to follow you. sorry for the my bad english but i'm italian XD. you are the reason why i started to play total war games thamks! :)
I remember how much I love 3rd age now that I've got over 100 hours on Warhammer total war! Good to see there's still a healthy community around this mod :)
This Replay was awesome, one of the best I've ever seen, thank you Apollo ! You played like an Elven Hero (and your ally too btw) ! But that f*cking catapult ! I spent half of the video screaming "Shooooot ! For godsake shooooot" it's unbelievable how bugged or lazy are those Elven engineers or catalpult crewmen :P Those catapult's remains were also a real pain ... so many shots wasted grrrr .... Great video, keep it up Apollo, I really like your channel and your comments about lore, tactics and stuffs !
Your videos are amazing, i really like your ThirdAge and Warhammer total war vids. :d I hope you get to 2M subs because you deserve it, I only found your channel out a few days ago, I watched your videos when I was bored cos my friends wouldn't play out. And I brought snacks. :d
I am wondering if you could won that battle if you haven't wasted two cav units at the beginning of the battle... or better, if you had chosen two infrantry units for the 2 cav units instead.
Apollo you're doing a great job !!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and i watchedd every single video since i joined you and i watched a lot the old ones too. Just everyone of them is beutiful battle action :) What about another "the many faces of apollo" video?! Would be greatGreetings from germany :')
Apollo, I love your channel, you provide such awesome battles with super good footage and angles too. P.S. Elven women are quite commonly soldiers, so saying that the Elves are fighting to protect their women and children doesn't make sense.
Oh yea, Apollo. Not as large as this, but the big war thing you were talking about, with lord of the rings. It's called battle for middle earth mayn. Why does everyone forget that game :( The voice comms for this mod even come from that game!
Really entertaining, do keep 'em coming. And to those who chip in just to criticise this, that, and the other, I'd say is that they should try their hand at coming up with continual entertaining narrative, and see how many people come and view their own efforts. Cheers.😎
Hi there! Something i'd really like to see in third age is a historical battle series with reversed roles of good and bad, for example: Helm's Deep Uruks defend, Rohan attacks, Rhun's cavalry come to save the defenders and trolls come instead of Ents. At Minas Tirith you have orcs defending agains't the hordes of Gondor, with rhunic cav coming instead of rohan and elven archer cav instead of Mumakils, instead of the ghost army coming to save gondor you have a swarm of nazgûls/black nümenorians/mumakils coming as the last ditch effort to save the defenders. I think it would be really fun to see!!!!!
Does anyone know how to fix the units not wanting to form up? So I start a match and when I go to set my army, I right click on a location and begin to drag it out only to get an x saying i can't set that formation there. At first I thought it was just the location, but it does it everywhere. To make it worse, If i do get the game to acknowledge my formation it only does it in certain ways leaving my units in a sideways formation against the enemy. Any help? If needed, I can upload a vid.
Great video man! Like always xD, Apollo, do you know balista is great against trolls? It leaves them useless, you kill one almost every time they shoot, you should really try that out next time, greetings from Mexico!
Good one, PA. If you'd have to do this one again, would you consider taking two units of horsearchers instead of the lancers? Or perhaps archers and/or a catapult? Personally I prefer more even odds as I tend to assume the defenders are going to lose anyway. But props for making it this close.
i'm agree with you, i feel more afraid from the archers than the infantry, i mean they could kill all my army since far away and they won't lost lothing, at least i have or a lot of cavalry that don't di before to arrive to them or have also archers. Again,awesome video, i love see your battles
Pixelated. 45k to 30k is the default moneys that people put for a 3v2 siege. It is the best balanced "standard" that we have in the third age community and it is by far the most common.
um what! No that is not balanced. Maybe a 3v3 that would be pretty balanced. For a 3v2 siege I think 30k to 38-40k would be more balanced. Also it depend on what factions are in the battle
0:30 How it is it not good to be an elf? It's always good to be an elf! They are immortal, wise, powerful and so much more perfect than mere men. Plus, when their body is killed, elven spirit wanders to aman and continues to live, residing in the Halls of Mandos. It's always worth to be an Elf, well at least in my opinion. :P
Hey apollo i sent you replay of a game last night of helms deep elves just wanted make sure you got it and it was a really close and devastating battle!
Ever consider doing the Divide and Conquer submod for Third Age? Bigger rosters, more factions, more units, lots of different uniques. The only issue I recall was something about multiplayer but I don't remember what it was (a while ago I heard that) and sometimes random crashes when in campaign or first selecting custom battles
just wondering, is it possible to place troops on the battlements of the second wall? cos i c a door in part of the wall and a bit where it flattens out and looks like they could get up there? anyone know?
Steam Group of Knight's of Apollo: steamcommunity.com/groups/apollosknights in general with steam version you can play it via normal multiplayer just change the name of TATW folder to the name of one of kingdoms expansion
Yeah, Apollo knows how catapults are dangerous in this map, am i right Pixie ? XD For those who has no clue what i am talking about, check battle - First to Strike on his channel ;)
Hey Pixelated Apollo, your videos are truly amazing, i watch them 24/7 XD and I am getting third age right now but I have the medieval 2 total war kingdoms expansion pack from 2014, is that alright?
+Pixelated Apollo you are by far the greatest total war youtuber ever and my favorite youtuber, keep up the good work and good luck!!!
23:20 That entire troll bit was hilarious! Seriously, your commentaries are top notch, Apollo!!
haha thanks man!
We really NEED Total War: Third Age the game.....I love this so much!
Pro trick: you can watch series at instaflixxer. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Solomon Beau definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for years myself =)
I love battles like these elite units vs hordes of orc great video man keep them coming love watching them after work to relax
Every time I think I've seen the ultimate battle, you come and top it. This siege was awesome, thank you so much for the fun! P.S. Dol Guldur is a pain for defending siege weapons, happens to me often that they just move without being able to fire.
will this mod ever get old.....think not. It's the best mod for a game ever! great video!

Your videos are amazing, i really like your ThirdAge and Warhammer total war vids. :d I hope you get to 2M subs because you deserve it, I only found your channel out a few days ago, I watched your videos when I was bored cos my friends wouldn't play out.
And I brought snacks. :d
nice vid pixal I love third age total war keep up the good work!!!😂
You were so close to winning. That was really close one. Great video.
your the best pixelated apollo i hape you never quit you make mye day better
This was a great battle I couldn't tell who would win until the end
I am wondering if you could won that battle if you haven't wasted two cav units at the beginning of the battle... or better, if you had chosen two infrantry units for the 2 cav units instead.
Trolls are not OP, right!🤣🤣 your commentary kills me dude never gets old!
All of your videos Apollo are the best I've ever seen
Really good "Oh god you cant even see the ground any more" - battle.
yes! been waiting for this :D its really good too been on the edge of my seat for most of the time
Now we wanna see 2 armies of Mordor defending Dol Guldur against 3 armies of Elves :)
Awesome dude!!! Still missing the dwarves but this was awesome
Nice work Pixie ! Keep going ! We will always be with u ! Good luck !
-Cute Potato-
Just so you know, UA-cam can do _italics_ by using _ and *bold* by using *.
I know ...
Cute Potato
Okay! Just saying.
That's ok bro
First thing I thought when he said he was in the battle.... He is on the losing team ;)
This is the most epic siege battle ever!
Apollo you're doing a great job !!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and i watchedd every single video since i joined you and i watched a lot the old ones too. Just everyone of them is beutiful battle action :) What about another "the many faces of apollo" video?! Would be greatGreetings from germany :')
Apollo, I love your channel, you provide such awesome battles with super good footage and angles too.
P.S. Elven women are quite commonly soldiers, so saying that the Elves are fighting to protect their women and children doesn't make sense.
pretty sure there are no actual elven female 'soldiers' in lotr lore
+Tabasco Dragn actually it is
+Tabasco Dragn You just can't tell the difference.
It's like Dwarven women. You can't tell.
"get it? Because they all look the same?"
"We all look the same!"
Loved the question What to do when mordor surrounds you WAIT FOR ROHAN is the best answer ever!
"Okay so he is raming the gate...with his ram...which is what you do with rams" Ookaaay Mr Dimond City Radio
Waiting for that Mount&Blade surprise ^^
lol You will know in about a week or so!
+Pixelated Apollo
....ok then but only week ... xD
And also this is norma Third age without submod?
yeah normal third age
Remember you have 167 hours ... kek
Wait, M&B surprise?!?
I love these types of games especially Lord of The Rings.

Love your videos mate, keep it up!

Really enjoying watching you videos :)
Your*
THanks dude :D
I loved this one like all the others lol thanks for the great videos apollo😀😊☺😆😄😃
pixelated would you mind doing another third age ffa? Also, love your videos please keep them coming out!
Great video man! Like always xD, Apollo, do you know balista is great against trolls? It leaves them useless, you kill one almost every time they shoot, you should really try that out next time, greetings from Mexico!
lol 22:52 nobody told those guys the wheels fell off their catapult xD
keep it up Apollo loving your videos and i wish i cold play with you on TATW one day
Nice dude keep up the great work!
10:29 Holy shit the guy on the left just did a pirouette!
Love all of your vids! Keep it up.
Thanks man!

Great vid PIXEY!!!! I love u!!!!!
Good defense! Very entertaining to watch
God damn, that was stressful to watch. Also, would've loved to have seen the kill count for your ally's catapult. That thing put in some work.
I love your videos, you caused me to buy medieval 2 total war
i'm agree with you, i feel more afraid from the archers than the infantry, i mean they could kill all my army since far away and they won't lost lothing, at least i have or a lot of cavalry that don't di before to arrive to them or have also archers.
Again,awesome video, i love see your battles
"Yep, all the Olog Hai are dead" - pulls back to look at a few hundred elves surrounded by thousands of orcs lol
You hear about the battle of Dol Guldur, but it seems that they don't show the battle in the movies.
i found you a few months ago this was the 1st vid i watched im watching again
This is a replay of the twitch stream and this is awesome
Pixelated. 45k to 30k is the default moneys that people put for a 3v2 siege. It is the best balanced "standard" that we have in the third age community and it is by far the most common.
um what! No that is not balanced. Maybe a 3v3 that would be pretty balanced. For a 3v2 siege I think 30k to 38-40k would be more balanced. Also it depend on what factions are in the battle
+Pixelated Apollo What happened in that lionh earth battle what where thinking with so much skirmish cav when he had so many monster and heavy cav
+Pixelated Apollo do face cam and by the way love your videos
+Pixelated Apollo lol "30k to 38k-40k"
0:30 How it is it not good to be an elf? It's always good to be an elf! They are immortal, wise, powerful and so much more perfect than mere men. Plus, when their body is killed, elven spirit wanders to aman and continues to live, residing in the Halls of Mandos.
It's always worth to be an Elf, well at least in my opinion. :P
10:00 that guy in the green is going in.😁😎
Such a good battle keep on doing this goods and you'll cut your way though 1 m subs
Also pixie can you put your M&B content on UA-cam as well
very good video apollo! can you make live battled from you like in older times?
ah yes, its 2 am in the morning and im watching this nice stuff
Hey apollo i sent you replay of a game last night of helms deep elves just wanted make sure you got it and it was a really close and devastating battle!
Needs to say the Treebeard line in his voice every time the catapult fires. A FINE HIT :D
I will so edit that in future battles
YESSS DO ITTTTT
I WILL LUV YA FOREVS
Ever thought of doing an Age of Empire 3 or 2 video?
Sucha cool game. But he mostly plays total war rip.
god bless us all when sauron one day has the idea of making arrowproofed orcs...
2:10 ahaha he hit a soprano note there ahah
Ever consider doing the Divide and Conquer submod for Third Age? Bigger rosters, more factions, more units, lots of different uniques.
The only issue I recall was something about multiplayer but I don't remember what it was (a while ago I heard that) and sometimes random crashes when in campaign or first selecting custom battles
really great video! keep it up!
pixelated apollo can you tell to me what i must have in my pc to play third age total war ?
you need *battery dies*
just wondering, is it possible to place troops on the battlements of the second wall? cos i c a door in part of the wall and a bit where it flattens out and looks like they could get up there? anyone know?
A huge battle ! How can i find Third Age Team mates ? Can you help me ?
No
+Rogal Dorn L
+Der Der i feel so hate from this comment ... lets talk about... why you hate slavs?
fuck off shit head
Steam Group of Knight's of Apollo:
steamcommunity.com/groups/apollosknights
in general with steam version you can play it via normal multiplayer just change the name of TATW folder to the name of one of kingdoms expansion
how can i play medieval 1212 ad? whenever i go into launcher it says it is outdated and when i enable it it crashes in the loading screen
Yeah, Apollo knows how catapults are dangerous in this map, am i right Pixie ? XD For those who has no clue what i am talking about, check battle - First to Strike on his channel ;)
also pushing the collapsed catapult at 22:50?
i remember watching this on your stream!
was amazing siege battle! was a heroic defeat for the elves
This reminds me of gondolin, my favorite video of yours.
just from watching videos on this game. I think that the trolls really are extremely OP
Life of a soldier please! That is one of my favourite series!
Trolls just seem so op. I know that without them mordor may never break the lines but it's just those elite ones that may need reducing.
if its possible to have multiplayer battles in the Divide and Conquer submod you should deffinetly try it. There are loads more factions and units!
whew that choke point battle wouldn't have been so dreadfully long if mordor still has at least 1 troll unit.
That was so painful to watch as your ally wasted the potential of the catapult
Hey Pixelated Apollo, your videos are truly amazing, i watch them 24/7 XD and I am getting third age right now but I have the medieval 2 total war kingdoms expansion pack from 2014, is that alright?
34:09 that ballista went f##K physics
Not trying to be rude or anything but are. U planing on uploading any WW1 battles
make more elven vs what ever faction vids like this. a good siege with a close call end
I swear Apollo said I am in it so it is very close. Battles aren't close if Apollo isn't in them
no lol It means that Since I was playing in the battle, I know the outcome.
Lol funny
22:50 can someone explain to me what that catapult crew is doing? xD
