GONDOR LEADS A MASSIVE ATTACK - Lord of the Rings Siege Battle - Dawnless Days 

This battle breaks my heart. The abomination alliances are too much for my heart to handle, poor Gondor and Rohan and Elves and Dwarves fighting each other just to satisfy the bloodlust of Apollo and his friends... End this madness!

0:33 - "Bring him down, Legolas!" "Oh, you got him, well done, let's go home." - Missed quote opportunity!

I remember this battle, I was the Gondor player, when looking back on it our biggest problem was the lack of holes in the wall with the sappers not working and my trebuchet getting destroyed quite early on, but all in all the battle was very enjoyable

Every time I see these videos I get reminded about all the third age scenario videos from a couple of years ago…. Ahh the nostalgia

I think the Dwarves being spread out was a good move, simply because every section of the walls had a couple of solid units which wouldn't easily break and would chew up most opposition. It stiffened the entire defence, rather than just making a bit of it impenetrable.

0:40 take them down!!!take them down!!!

The Dwarf commander kicked ass. He basically destroyed Gondor with like 1/3 of his army spread throughout the map

Apollo as always, I just wanted to say your a big inspiration and so hope you can get to 1 million, and as a Lord of the rings fan that has watched the first movie, I just wanted to say this video is epic!

This is cool, love the new name of this mod. Outstanding battle!

All the armor of the different nation in LOTR are amazing .

The dwarves be like :- We are not even gonna let these filths enter our city .

Dude that first minute in is so tense 😂 epic

Hey man please don’t ever stop making these videos. I’ve sunk countless hours into watching your commentary. They really make my day, very entertaining.

When Théoden King Charged, I fucking cried. And you know what? I understand nothing of this game or its mechanics. I have watched this channel for a couple of years and that is it on my knowledge of Total Wars. But I do believe, and it was looking grisly for the defenders, that the tide turned when Théoden charged the Witch King of Angmar. One thing is certain: I did not see the Witch King anymore after that one! Cheers Apolo, for the Middle Earth content keeping the Tolkien lore alive and healthy!

those dwarves were like flex tape

2am and I cant sleep. Wondered if apollo had any new lotr videos. Didn't disappoint. Gotta catch up on the fallout playthrough too. Love your content. Got hooked after the Scotland campaign

Yessssss. I missed the Lord of the ring mods videos you make I love them bc I’m a huge fan of LOTR.

Plus I love how the defenders help the walls as long as they could😬That was some real edge of your seat stuff

Apollo going after John Madden was absolutely hilarious :D

The unit models look absolutely incredible I’m blown away

As the Gondor player said, there just weren't enough full openings, so I think the winning play actually wound up being sallying out the dwarves to harass the battering ram for a quick laugh. When it comes to zerg vs. quality, there's really only two moves: flanking and concentration, so the Mordor player absolutely made the right decision to push with Gondor's attack instead once he figured out the Olog-hai weren't going to break the dwarves at their gate; however, like it was said before, because of the lack of openings, they got choked out way too quickly and the defenders were able to meet that concentration attack with their reserves. Surprisingly, the Isengard player, intentionally or not, somehow managed to "counter-quality" the defenders and had two to three of their units stuck fighting one of his in a couple of places, which probably gave the attackers a lot more time. I think this would have been a very different game had Fred, the last Uruk-hai sapper, not left the instruction manual to his bomb back at camp and Isengard had opened the wall in the middle; for so long as the Mordor player ignores the temptation to try to squeeze into the one Isengard opening and still go across to the Gondor side, I don't think the defenders would be able to meet two concentrations, even with Gondor losing their trebuchet.

Finally, something worth to watch!!!!

What a great battle! I can't remember the last time I saw a LotR siege in Rome 2.

When you try to scare your kids into being good for Christmas: 25:40

The defenders played towards their strengths you didn't hardly see any dwarven archers and you only saw handful of Elvin soldiers

Man the music of the movies is included in the replay I love it

Thanks for the Dawnless Day content !!!

Such a good video, made my morning.

33:32 the music could not have been better for the clash of the generals

I love you apollo been watching for a long time keep up the good work

Gondor was always corrupted with evil and greed so until frodo and gandalf came so it actually makes perfect sense for them to be with mordor

love the battle keep it up!

Always assumed the Rohan was just the aussies hahahah

Fun fact my half brother played as a Rohan soldier in the lord of the rings, in the scene where Théoden's son is being buried.

I was like how is this medieval 2, but i realised that you tagged the wrong game haha. Anyways, loved the lord of the rings themed video:)

nice to see more lotr content

I need More dawnless days battles

Defenders finally win!!! You need to upload more LOTR siege battles. Theyre the best

Gondor looks really so truly good.

yoooo lets go the replay made it i played easterlings

Shoutout to the elf at 45:43 who decided to do a stage dive into the orcs and then just disappear into thin air

yessssssss! Thank you for listening to me apollo

I just finished watching lord of the rings and the hobbit for the first time. Then you post this , what a coincidence lol.

love what you do man :)

Nice video keep up the good work

Pikes rushing through the wall was sick scene!!!!

awesome Battle

Never thot I'd see the day where, I come up with the word, Gondorc! Or Isendor, Rhuhan, hack Dwelves!!!

can anyone tell me how to get this mod? it was taken down from moddb for copyright. Is there another place or a time in will come available again?

gondor on sauron annd sarumans side that is very confusing and complicated

I think the attacker did wrong is that Mordor didn't attack the elves but support the side against rhun Rohan and dwarf the defender side it all thank to the dwarves ( my favorite race) who smart hold the line in the outside and spread everywhere in the wall to support Rohan and rhun

Dont think the attackers could do anything as the defenders did not pull back to inner city....gg.... enjoyed watching.

Woooo more rise of the rings!!

Sucks to see units like the Sappers and the Olog Hai basically not working

GET THIS GUY TO 1M SUBSCRIBERS

How do I download this on steam apollo ?

Alright Lord Apollo we are ready for today’s battle!

I wonder if they modded one of the Warhammer games would it be easier to add in special units like elephants and nazgul

More Dawnless Day's por favor! 🙏

Held the walls You write You write Apollo Words are hard

@10:36 Aragorn is that you ??

I already saw this battle on another channel a while ago

The last alliance of men and orcs

"Dwarfs are natural sprinters very dangerous on short distances!"

Wooooooo! My man

Let’s be honest Apollo if Theoden fought the steward the steward would get thumped

Do you think you could do a napoleanic battle series?

Great video, I enjoy your battle videos as well the rpgs But I also looking for your second channel you mention sometimes May I have it name ot smt ?

What game's mod is this? 00:17 Total War what? Tilla? Does that mean Warhammer II?

Bro I remembered watching this on pope’s channel

best youtuber

The Isengard player was so incompetent

I would really love to play this but Attila is still full priced even this day.

Can they blow up the walls?

The dwarfs got a unit with 507 kills hol*

How you get the mod

The dwarfs are like the romans , praetorians idk . They are strong af

LotR content woooo

For Attila or for TW Warhammer II ?

Early! Keep it up, mate!

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf what about side by side with a friend

No they want to fight

Wait I'm confused Why is Mordor considered as Gondor?

words are hard

LEGOLAS and GIMLI

I love how people are getting killed in front of us and Apollo is talking about accents.

corrupted gondor

How do I get this game ?

Can you try Red Dead redemption 2 Again as a break from total war. as it is one of the best games rpgg games.

Plz make some total war shogun video

It hurts my eyes bad guys should be with bad guy and good guys with good. Don't let this diabolical thing happen again. Please and thankyou

Nobody in lord of the rings has American accents. Lmao

Kinda irks me with this mixed allegiance battle. Always light v dark. or better yet. make a corrupted version of elves, man, dwarves etc.

i love the way you talk total nonsense

i just don't under stand how this game is so laggy, it's a replay not a live battle the game already knows what the troops are going to do?

Can you play Total war : rome 2

Just saying

Thats Not original.

Ok ok I apologize Apollo I’ve been dogging you al morning for total war, and I got one this morning. But pleaseeee makes an a separate channel for your playthroughs

MAN! I Can't WAIT For the CAMPAIGN!!!!! @Pixelated Apollo
