I think many missed the Arverni archers stationed on the wall who had a nice angle on Spartans. Good teamplay. Lusitani player managed to pull off the classic tactic of making the opponent commit most of the forces into an indecisive stand off and then slowly whittling them down with a fire superiority. Maybe with more aggressive playstyle the situation could've been salvaged by the Spartans.
Yeah. They concetrated fire on the heavy Spartan units. I find it hard to believe that few slingers and a light cavalry flanking would demolish Spartan units like that. Arverni Archers from the walls and the scorpions that was brought outside went out all against Sparta.
Lusitani is actually a pretty decent faction for a sally out usually especially if combined with another cav faction, they got javs on all their units and they are a glass cannon faction meaning high atk and melee stats and low armor which would be mostly irrelevant in a sally out
The Lusitani are my favorite barbarian faction, for someone inexperienced it may seem like a weak civilization due to the low armor of its units (in this case the Arevacis are a more balanced faction and with more options), but at the same time they have the best melee combat statistics of the game, with an attack that surpasses most of the elite units, added to his guerrilla skills; That is why it is spectacular to see veterans like in this repetition using the Lusitani, because in expert hands it is the best faction to beat the most popular civilizations in the game. On the other hand, I think you are underestimating the Iberian Slingers, especially the Balearic ones, because they are the best slinger units in the game and there is no archer that can beat them (added to the fact that they destroy units with a lot of armor); so when you play against the Arevacis and Lusitani, the best countermeasure is to take out slingers too or even cheaper archers, so you can beat them by outnumbering them, since in a confrontation between two projectiles units against each one of Iberian slingers, you can win relatively easily (using expensive archers against them is suicide, as was shown against Sparta). =D
Seeing hastati and armoured legionaries side by side hurts my soul. How dare they cross the timelines! Also the combat in this game is so much better to watch than warhammer fights. Just actual matched combat animations.
The weapon used by the ranged troops is a cinquedea The cinquedea or cinqueda is a civilian short sword (or long dagger). It was developed in northern Italy and enjoyed a period of popularity during the Italian renaissance of the 15th and early 16th centuries.
If romans full charged their brawlomaniac madlads to lusitani and not giving any chance to their slingers to sit back and spraying their pebbles, while sparta and baktria taking on the other two it would have much better chance for attackers
0:31 yea no. Greeks, whom Romans admired to no end, definitely weren't barbarians in Roman eyes, so in this match up Spartans certainly and Bactrians conditionally (leaders, soldiers of Greek origin) would be considered civilized by Romans (officers at least.) Nice to see some Dragon Court action, they really played outside the box creating that causeway for Lusitani!
UA-cam's algorithm finally gave me a notification and I'm glad it did. Was an awesome battle replay being narrated by you Apollo. Been a little while since I got any notifications though and so busy I haven't been able to sit down and really watch.
i love Pixie's battle analytics. "they have to win more." but seriously, great battle and Apollo's commentary made it even better. as always. glory to the barbarian defenders (i don't know the outcome yet).
Those balearic slingers do alot of damage. And they get rediculois with rank. In a 1v1 they have enough ammo to sling the whole battle. Yall all just witnessed proper use of high tier slingers.
Those are high tier slingers with Lusitani: shields to deflect arrows and high AP to bust through armored infantry. It would have been better for Sparta to attack the sally out and force the lesser armored Lusitani to retreat inside.
Yeah Sparta should have been the first in the city attacking and just holding defending as there ally's pored in... Sparta very hard faction to attack with especially in the cell open field... you have to rush your men in there and start fighting... crazy 4slingers Took em down 😢
In the beginning the spartan cretan archers should have keep on shooting those slingers ! those slingers decimated the spartan hoplites . In history on one point the greek city states invested more and more on peltasts because they ruind all hoplites .
Greeks considered everyone else a Barbarian, we just let Romans into the club. They most definately didnt think of us as Barbarians, quite the opposite i believe.
They should have pulverized the sortying army with elements from all three elements and then focused their assault along the walls after the 3rd army has been destroyed or forced back into the city
Its amazing to hear you saying iberians are built diferent when you are an iberian ( besides Im from Portugal wich is where the lusitani faction was based)
That Spartan army got wrecked... TBH tho not much they could've done without help. They were out gunned by missiles. Honestly what I would've done is wait till the Lusitani sallied out, then gather all my cav on the far right to flank, then rush forward with the hoplite units to pin them down. The cav would be able to mop up the slingers easily. Sparta needed help. Better yet, should've swapped positions with Rome. It all went to shit once someone shot that section of wall down...
How can I like do clear wether and day light when I do matches bc every time that I set the settings to day light , summer, clear wether it’s like always the opposite
Its because the spartan player has no idea what he's doing he put none of his hoplites into phalanx formation so they got shredded by the archers so embarrassing
It wasn't really like Romans considered every other nation barbaric, the word "barbarus" comes from Greek (oryginalny "barbaros") and refered to all non-greek speakers who sounded like "bar-bar" to the Greeks. Romans adopted the word and always considered Greeks as civilised, but not always the other way around, at the start Romans as an conglomerate of Latins, Samnites, Etruscans etc. were considerd barbaros up until the Roman conquest of Magna Grecia in 3rd century BC
anyone know why ? my game is crashing in multiplayer sieges i just have the time to get to the walls then boom it crashes but its not a performance problem i have put everything in low exept unit size
the attacking force looked like a complete $hit show. once Sparta got deleted they shoulda called it a day. you almost need a re replay of the sally out and crushing of the Spartans.

I think the Lusitani Scorpion helped as well
Yeah. They concetrated fire on the heavy Spartan units. I find it hard to believe that few slingers and a light cavalry flanking would demolish Spartan units like that.

Attackers: You are besieged! Surrender or die!

YES! a man of culture

Doesn't help Sparta when they shoot at the swordswomen instead of the slingers.
We came to the decision we we weren't satisfied with the gate selections, so we made our own back gate 🤣🤣
Who was playing?
Great game guys
@@calex1801 myself, BillyBlazes, Dairy farmer were defending, I don't remember the attackers
As a Lusitano myself! it made me happy to see you making that tactic work so well with Lusitani xD A bold move just like Lusitanos used to figth
@@Swordsheep lusitani is my favorite faction lol
Seeing hastati and armoured legionaries side by side hurts my soul. How dare they cross the timelines! Also the combat in this game is so much better to watch than warhammer fights. Just actual matched combat animations.
I used to use a flip phone a few years ago and i felt like a hastati surrounded by legionaires (smart phones)
different games different engines different communities no need to claim superiority that's how you creat conflicts
I like the battle replays. I hope Apollo does some gunpowder ones again soon.
Ntw3 would be nice
@Loyal Piper that or Empire 2 Generals (the mod I made that he recently made a video for) there was recently an update with the USA added
I love the size of rome II but the strategy that NtwIII uses is just too good.
@@brenobassocenci6571 it tends to be way more chaotic as well

At what cost?
"At what cost, at what fine and sexy cost?"
~Gilthunder 7 deadly schmucks
Damn Ellington is sending a bunch of replays to you.....good to see you're jumping back into Total War!
I am nearing 300 hours on Rome II and I’m not gonna stop any time soon :D Thanks to Apollo and his sieges 😊😅
Siege battles are the best

Those slingers have shields - excellent anti-archers.

Been watching for 5 years, keep it up Apollo!!!
Same, but I was a young naive child

Great show Apollo - i love cooky tactics
The Spartans, commanded by King Mr. Bean.
Lusetani player mvp by a mile,
Lol that reference of a middle earth watcher over the archers in the end 😂😂, maybe like 3 pit of shades
Cav should always have guerilla foot - just like guagemela
The Roman red, absolute best color I’m glad they chose it
Love the birds eye view
Yeah Sparta should have been the first in the city attacking and just holding defending as there ally's pored in... Sparta very hard faction to attack with especially in the cell open field... you have to rush your men in there and start fighting... crazy 4slingers
Took em down 😢
Another glorious battle!!!
Absolutely love the content Apollo, keep it up chief😎
The successful sally out was the nail in the coffin
In the beginning the spartan cretan archers should have keep on shooting those slingers ! those slingers decimated the spartan hoplites . In history on one point the greek city states invested more and more on peltasts because they ruind all hoplites .
I see that apollo wraca do korzeni
Oh shit thats me playing like trash 😢
This game looks fun but extremely stressful to actually play. There's so much to keep track of
One on one Balearic slingers will kick almost every archers ass in the game
Oh yeah!
Nothing like Apollo on my birthday 💪
I'm glad appollo still make these videos it always a good video one my favorite UA-cam if not my number 1...like and subscribe he deserve it..
Whoever's playing as the lusitani guy he did really good
6:51 Hi PA , i dont know good mechanics of Rome2 , but in real life balearic slingers was a "legendary" units in ancient time. :)
Greeks considered everyone else a Barbarian, we just let Romans into the club.
They most definately didnt think of us as Barbarians, quite the opposite i believe.
I know they wins, probably 50-50, but i love hearing Lusitani as Loose A Ton
Unleash the hounds of hell!
YES im all for Rome 2 videos please do more Apollo so relaxing and great commentary always by you!
Yes another Rome 2 battle
I had a game where we took on 4 Rome armies and I sallied out taking all 4 generals out but didn’t save it. Was a hell of a game
Wow, I´m the first one seeing this video (uploaded 18s ago when I clicked it)!
A “truly captivating” ,as my bot friend said before me, game 😅. No but really, it’s a good one, the commentary is even better though
What an awesome battle.
whoa that is crazy dude!
THE LUSITANIANS, i thought they werent in the game, they are the official ancestours of my people (im portuguese)
1 million soon bro 🎉
They should have pulverized the sortying army with elements from all three elements and then focused their assault along the walls after the 3rd army has been destroyed or forced back into the city
Its amazing to hear you saying iberians are built diferent when you are an iberian ( besides Im from Portugal wich is where the lusitani faction was based)
Please make Cossacks gameplay video

gosh I miss Arena
Balearic Slingers must be OP
sparta sold on this
Dwarven dagger
There was a man in Sparta long ago,
He was big and strong...
Sally outs work more often in the current meta.
Mostly cuz many people don't know how to respond to one, they freeze in their tracks
The Roman? You means Roman’s? Your title says tht
Just wanted to thanks for another awesome video and leave a comment to help the algo
While I like bannerlord, it is nice to see some more battle replays
have you considered using sebidee's mod. Its such a great addition to the game
How can I like do clear wether and day light when I do matches bc every time that I set the settings to day light , summer, clear wether it’s like always the opposite
Sparta played like a potato.
Battle replays will always have a soft spot for me
Hurts watching that sparta player, clearly never played the faction before lmao
You just say barbarian with a hard bar?
I oughta run you through and steal your cattle!
the scorpion kills all the spartans
Always good to see the Romas losing
The Spartans definitely got Miss played. They should have Advanced rather than standing around play Target dummies for the stone throwers.
Another youtuber streamed this battle he played the arvrni 😂😂😂
Fus ru da!!
Its because the spartan player has no idea what he's doing he put none of his hoplites into phalanx formation so they got shredded by the archers so embarrassing
Yep, it's official, this map is not possible to win as the attacker
Oh its 100% possible, that corner is so attacker friendly is not even funny
lusitani gorilas lmao
Romans did not consider Greeks to be barbarians.

I watched this
Apollo can you or anyone who knows how to send replays because I wanted to send one of my replays to you or a freind
ua-cam.com/video/9w-JsnxwMso/v-deo.html
The player used sparta poorly, that was the main issue
Hey apollo we want more Persistent empire please❤️💯
Just know I love you pixo
what game isthis?
anyone know why ? my game is crashing in multiplayer sieges i just have the time to get to the walls then boom it crashes but its not a performance problem i have put everything in low exept unit size
the campaign works very great
Que batalha incrivel
that spartan player was absolutely awful
Yessir
is this a moded episode
the attacking force looked like a complete $hit show. once Sparta got deleted they shoulda called it a day. you almost need a re replay of the sally out and crushing of the Spartans.
When will we see a video of a Roman player win? I feel like everytime there’s a Roman player, they lose.
Ez dub
Dear me... Woeful pronunciation throughout this entire video.
Yessir finally got here first 😂
non barbarians romans and greeks
dude i love your videos, but sometimes you should pay more atention to the outskirts of the battles, you often miss a lot of skirimish
