EPIC STRUGGLE! BRUTAL SIEGE BATTLE - TWL: Gorilla Boiis VS Wolf Gang - Game 1 

Got my cheese potato, and my apple juice. Time to enjoy one of the best commentators and one of the best games ever. Thank you again for your work Pixelated Apollo, time to be entertained.

Just finished watching the video from yesterday and there is already a new one out. Love this series!

Yea, it's looking like the moment that you let the Gorilla Boiis pick a fight, it's over. You really have to make them play on the defensive as much as possible in order to keep them from maneuvering into the little kill zones they make

If they had used the siege towers at the end they could’ve got a great flank! Great fight nevertheless

you are aCTUALLY a machine ... your coverage of the league is amazing .. the rate of delivery is lightning quick !!!!!

Dear Apollo, amazing Work again on this Tournament. You got me so hooked Back on Rome II :) nice commentary and sooo glad you can loose as well and still get suprised :D although i would enjoy seeing you win of course! Big congrats to all Teams so far, super high Level and only distinctions on the extra Details. I wouldnt stand a Chance with any faction against anybody in group C :D

Hi Apollo!! Love your content! I was wondering if you could do a live commentary on one of your games? Even if you don't talk to us, just hearing and seeing how you play would be awesome. Keep up the great work dude!

Another one!? The man is a replay making machine!

Honestly you should use the Rome I music mod when covering these matches. It’d make it 10x more engaging! :)

I like that Apollo was all like “but I’m lé tired….” And then was all super clicky with his red arrows and sing songy hahaha

The amount of micromanaging involved by Gorilla Boiis is crazy, they really have made harassing troops with missiles before retreating an art form. That coupled with constant feints on the flanks gives their opponents not a moment of peace. It is frustrating to watch though. It's also interesting to see how rather than blob up and get stuck in, these battles are becoming more like chess - troops waiting for the briefest sign of an opening or weakness, then pepper the enemy, flank, charge, retreat etc. The matches look much more tactical but the insane amount of missile/javelin fire involved sort of make it feel cheapy too. It's more like watching Zulu than the opening of Gladiator.

Honestly great video! Keep it up hope you're doing good. The gorilla boiis are like Real Madrid at some point it just gets a bit boring but I am loving this format. Greats from Germany

At the end of the tournament you guys should do a battle where it’s everyone else vs the gorilla bois in a battle lol. Those bois are tough

It looks like the only two ways to beat the gorilla boys are to either rush their front lines all at once going through every gap, or to play with cavalry so that they can't do their little skirmish. The skirmish is their biggest strength, so the only way to win is to deal with it. And even then they're good at other maneuvres, so it's gonna be hard. Credit to them for playing so well!

Don’t worry Apollo, I grabbed my Snacks and Drinks for another amazing video ❤

The attackers could have won that battle, the left side of the settlement at one point only had 2 units if they had sent 1 or 2 Units up the tower to flank them they could have broken through before the defenders sent forward more units

yooo nice timing man, I just finished a TW: R2 game with a bunch of friends, and now we will enjoy this video together. Edit: Disasters battle, IDK why no one pushes on Especially when the Gorilla boys are in Defence, you gotta keep pushing them not give them openings and that siege towers move killed my soul they brought 12 siege towers and used none, Idk man it was a possible victory they brought 2 good factions and didn't use them properly. the worst thing you can do is when you have the advantage and you hold back just like the Austrians against Napoleon in the Italian Campaign they had the numbers and the better gear but kept holding back and maneuvering useless maneuvers and which caused them to lose the campaign against him.

Gorilla Boiis are like the side with 6 units defending including 2 units being mobs going against a stacked attacking side and still yet find a way to win.

1:54 I love it how everytime PA announces that factions name (I have no clue how to spell it) he calls it by 2 different names, every single time 😂😂😂

Good thing I already have my snacks and drinks ready!

Greetings from France Apollo, That was a hard on... ahem, hard earned victory last time !

Yeeeeeeessssssssss I have been holding my breath for this next video. Thanks dad.

Last battle video wasn't so good cause you didn't babble and butcher the names of the factions, troops and everything else, so this is a nice comeback to origins 😁 DO NOT abandon your signature commentary!!🤣 Great vid as always, waiting for the next one

@Apollo do you think some archers and slingers are better via having sheilds? Idk how the game considers them (do their shields still block while theyre firing?) But it seems like skirm v skirm hvjjg a shield would be a huge advantage.

Makes no sense for the Gorilla Boys to play two matches on the same settlement, twice… I feel like this tournament could use a better structure next year.

@Apollo i feel like its better when attacking to try and hit multiple points, rather than group for one area like seems to happen on this map. Your thoughts? Would love to hear your opinion, do you think its better to hit as many points as possible and spread out the deffenders, or concentrate on one area? As an aside i also think its better when sending skirmishers in to melee to have them join in to a fight with other units, and not have them 1v1, would love to hear what you think about these things.

Aren't Wolfgang a veteran team? I'm sure I've seen them in apollo videos before.

PA lots of love from pakistan.....

Awesome content as usual! For their name think about Wolfgang as in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Apollo!

When does season 9 start? And how to I get a spot??

4:48 just wanted to say Apollo that no this wasn’t your worse blunders lmao. You have had ones in the past that would go on for like 5 minutes. A really long time ago. I love your work

Anyone else notice that one wolfgang unit that was somehow in the back of the settlement

decisive victory

I noticed the units are a lot bigger, how do you make them bigger ?? It have more realism when they bigger the units !

Hard on victory 🤔 think I'll use that one 😂❤

Admit it, every time you see an Apollo TW vid you launch Rome II immediately.

Hey pixel you should try games like warno? There alot of big time battle modern warfare strategy games out there that might intrest you in trying and learning

Hey Apollo on your next video, can you show the standings?

Laying back watchin with my leftover McDonald’s here 😌

Gorilla bois be unstoppable

Today was just one of those days I had a Dr appointment and I have to get a hip replacement all stemming back to a infection of hip and sepsis of blood. Which sucks thought I'll be able to walk after it's done and I'm only 30 so I think I'll be fine and heal good, after something sad always good to come home and watch some pixelated Apollo. Cheers me right up 🎉

I don't have a LOT of experience with playing rome 2, however i played the older TW games and have watched a lot of gameplay. Is there a reason no one ever actually uses their towers? In this game, i feel like it would have been beneficial so that they didn't get stuck in that choke point...just an observation.

This was the most intense battle of the tournament so far :O

Yayyy more videos outside of group C

Im sorry to break it to you Apollo but you can manually aim theureos spears if you turn off fire at will

Rock on

Shame they didn’t use the siege towers, I think they would have had a decent chance then, they were doing much better than the other teams so far

Welcome to the slaughter everyone!

we have been playing the same skirmishing game since empire, for real

can someone explain why gorilla boiis got to play the same map 2x??? seems a bit off

Do they lose sometime the gorilla bois? Jeez 😂

I’m so invested

Love your content bro!

Everyone of these videos are a real hard-on! 😘

Don’t quote me on this but I think one team plays one map twice per group… correct me if I’m wrong

Petition to change your team name to the Crimson Cocks after that hard on comment

Wait desert Rome is better than Seleucids? Wow I thought the other way around 😮

What mod is this?

You can't ignore an enemy force outside the walls harassing man come on it's the 1st thing you deal with. You could leave a few bits of siege equipment on the far sides of your army so if you do have to crush or chase them away with a significant force you can potentially turn it into an opportunity. X

yeahhhhhhh! new video! S2

Why selucid didn’t use there towers to flank its killing me

Man I don’t know how you don’t know this after all these years. Normal units with only 3 javelins fire only at the closest unit and you can’t direct where the fire goes. Thureos spears and similar units which have 5 javelins can direct their fire. Proper Javelin/peltast units have 7 shots, which is 2 more than Thureos, not 1 like you keep saying and can also direct their fire.

Why didn't they use the siege towers to flank the entire match they were just sitting there they could have won 😮

Yesss. !!!!

Ur sleep is much more important brotha. Get ur sleep FIRST

🇬🇧

Ive seen acouple unnecessary cycle from attacker,

Couldn’t they have used the towers to outflank the defender

Let's be real crimson chickens ate going to destroy ursas and winged whumsars just go Sparta while on defence cuz they are tough

I’ve being waiting mate

Praying on the gurilla boys downfall for now

LOL Are they cheating, seriously they seem to out range everyone😀

Glad it’s their last game. I want longer entertainment lol

Sonic :3

Hi can you please please please please please play bannerlord

This map is incredibly boring

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. - Acts 3:19 : )

Crimson chickens always have hard on battles, but the gorilla boys beat them off
