Omg the Scordisci tribe - they literally lived in the area of my hometown in Serbia..few years ago, my town built small settlement which replicas celtic village, so people can learn something about the Scordisci and their history.
Just because its in serbia doesnt mean its serbian, they were celtic not slavic/steppe like serbs. The serbs migrated in the balkans with croats in the 7th century
So I (Scordisci) sent the video, the battle replay was right until the Parthian general's charge. We charged the seleucid's gen out of desperation but the units I had left had scare effect. When the parthian cataphracts charged in the Seleucids general broke together with the parthian one. But the scare effect was also affecting the seleucids units who suddenly broke, giving us a victory but most importantly an extremely fun battle. Reason for the replay to be broken is either the small Rome II update or Larger Battlefield mod missing in the load order (larger battlefield is mandatory for dei since the units are massive lol)
We have one rule. Actually DEI is pretty well balanced and the pikes are super expensive and they need a ton of micro, positioning is a nightmare and there's also game mechanics messing up the formations and so on. Literally the only rule we use is no dogs, cause dogs can be let loose and kill 800-900 or even charged to the general, go through the army and kill the gen.
Love the videos lately Apollo sorry I haven't been able to catch ur streams go alot medically going on hopefully get this surgery and be better soon 🙏 keep videos coming I'll need them in hospital
@@PixelatedApollo1 thanks man I am going to the cooper Hand and hip center next week, for a hip and knee replacement consultation and to repair my flexor tendon in my fight hand I fell and it snapped so my finer is stuck out straight and can't bend, on the bright side I can point way longer than anyone I know lmfao 🤣🤒
16:43 I think the main issue with introducing something like pike-waving is that, from a gameplay standpoint, it would strengthen pikes against one of their main counters, concentrated ranged attacks. I love the idea of it as a historical reference, but I think even a more grounded, "realistic" mod like DEI has to make some compromises for the sake of balance and fun. There are also game engine limitations (I assume) preventing them from implementing penalties for (or outright stopping) tight formations of hoplites/pikes stacking on top of each other, or losing cohesion due to complicated maneuvers and rough terrain (something the Romans exploited to break up Macedonian phalanxes). So as much as I'd love to see those things modeled in a game, I'm not sure Rome II is that game, sadly.
The battle which Apollo was talking about took place in my native mother land called Punjab the battle took place between Alexander the great vs King Porus even though King Porus got defeated but still he inflicted such huge losses to Alexander army it was a costly victory

Yes, I know what you are saying, and it dose! Pikes are difficalt to maneuver, and the get moral penalities if charged from side of behind, actually every unit dose moral penalties in that situation..
It's so hard to play rome 2 multiplayer battle without chat (especially with randoms) since you can't communicate with your team.. and they dont notice signs/pings... Can't really find any groups to play with either... 😢
Dont mind the mispronounciation of the crazy weird celtic serbian units (it's part of the charm of the comment), but I still hope sometimes Apollo will decide to pronounce "Hoplite" correctly (hoplee-tay)
Het Apollo, I dont know if im exaggerating but your voice sounds a bit more “timid” i suppose you could say than usual. I dont know if you are sick or feeling unwell but i hope you’re doing well.
Apollo if you where a squirrel going about your daily business gathering nuts i doubt very much you would find pikes and hoplite fighting in the woods exciting,,jeeez man spare a thought for the helpless peaceful woodland creatures who live there,,really i expected way way more from you,quite shocked tbh🤭😀
@@ForestBlue7 yes. Its basically the same mechanics and what not, the phone game is a port of the first game. The footage in this video is the second game, which came out like 9 years after the first. But the first is still fun as heck. You still have big army’s of individual units in the battles you can control independently. There’s the campaign, all the factions. It’s 10$ on IOS. Idk on android. I think but it’s a full game no micro transactions at all

you guys should put a limit to the pike units used. theyre so op

Nice, more DEI battles plz!

finally some DEI
Yeeeeees FINALLY!! A DEI battle! I just started a DEI Pontus campaign
Pontus has a great roaster and start location , very enjoyable
dei makes vanilla so much better. well worth a try if u haven't yet
The divide et impera is best game to play and very much more to doo, battle sometimes can last 56 mins ❤
ApolloTroops scale is 300

Nah my pc would explode as soon as I hit the download button for this mod

I have not played this game in years but I love these videos.
Love dei. Give us more!
I am back! Glad to see another great Apollo battle! Keep this damn work up you hear me!?
Other than the skipping and lag for some bits it was still a an awesome Battle
Finally a BATTLE!, the sieges are cool but you already made too many and always end up in desastrous ''victories''.
when you hover over a unit there is the english translation below the unit name
DEI? LET'S GO!
Ye I get what your saying there should be some friendly fire system when using pikemen
Would you consider baldur's gate 3? It is very well made and I believe you might like it! Also the studio is extremely pro consumer.
Hey Apollo! Any news on the tournament?
check the unit cards next time pixie, they have the english tranlslation. Nice DEI vid would love to see more of this mod!!
It's so hard to play rome 2 multiplayer battle without chat (especially with randoms) since you can't communicate with your team.. and they dont notice signs/pings... Can't really find any groups to play with either... 😢
Can't you play like with your friends and communicate with them over discord
Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's very (very) keen on Hellenistic warfare I hotly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series on it
brah. just stop
LoL
I'll guess Scordisci is pronounced "SCORE-di-SIE" (last syllable rhymes with tie).
Or in Latin "Score-DEE-Skee"(?).
Do I hear a DEI campaign coming...?
what other mods are u using? The flora and effects looks a lot better than my DEI experience
The native names are so hard to pronounce, I'm glad they have the english version under them
@T90GoesBrrrrr👍
So much Diversity Equity and Inclusion in this slaughter!
What happened to the tournament did u make it to playoffs
I don't think so... 😭😭😭
They didn’t
No
Dont mind the mispronounciation of the crazy weird celtic serbian units (it's part of the charm of the comment), but I still hope sometimes Apollo will decide to pronounce "Hoplite" correctly (hoplee-tay)
Rooting for Greeks as always!
nice DEI battles
No hill advantage on Rome 2?
Het Apollo, I dont know if im exaggerating but your voice sounds a bit more “timid” i suppose you could say than usual. I dont know if you are sick or feeling unwell but i hope you’re doing well.
very good👍👍
Please, do not turn off visible missiles. Please.
Apollo..do a new Rome 2 campaign playthrough.... it's the right thing to do...😊
I got so happy when I heard my country name serbia where can I get this mod??
Really amazing mod but this will be so laggy most wont play it
Apollo, what’s the update on the tournament?
Love the content👍
Yoooooo!!!! DEI, let’s gooo!!
why do we never see pikes in sieges? Banned?
GOAT
What happened to the twl tournament vids? Please dont stop those

Is this game playable via mobile?
Sadly not my friend. You can get a game like it is nothing compared to Rome two on pc
This is Rome 2. Rome 1 is on mobile. I’ve played it on my phone. It’s obviously nothing near pretty like this. It’s like a 2000’s game
@@LispyJesus but you’re able to control separate units and the like?

Try ROME II HD it’s more realistic

Serbiaaaaaa 🎉🎉🎉
CA Should just copy DEI or MK1212 mod and make real historical title again and whit no heroes who can go 1 vs 100 (Or 1000 like in warhammer)
❤ the vids
DEI is so much better
DeI!! :D

Shielded troops carrying 10ft pikes? Lmao no, that’s not possible. Pikes need two hands for very good reasons.
The shield is strapped around the arm,so the hoplites' hands are free to use their pikes
@@mayeulcarpentier4100 Oh, I didn't notice that. Seems innovative, but the weight must be exhaustive after some time.
@@rm7338 If i'm not mistaken,they grabbed it (in reality,not the game) at about 1/3 the length to have some good counterweight,making it way lighter
@@mayeulcarpentier4100 Yes most certainly. In this game it almost looks as if they're handling it at the bottom 10th of the pole lol
