THE GREATEST BATTLE YOU WILL EVER WITNESS - Total War: Rome 2 

Big Fan of those 4 armies of the same nation vs 4 armies of the same nation...they really do justice to the scale of these ancient battles

"Their army is gone." "Our army is gone!"

.... No one won that battle. The handful who survived will be forever haunted by memories of that slaughter.

Advisor :My king ive got good news and bad news King:tell me the good news Advisor:their army is gone King:thats wonderful ,What are the bad news? Advisor : Our army is gone too *TO* *BE* *CONTINUED*

**sound of snacks and drinks being thrown from fridge and cabinets onto couch**

That was an insane fight. Definitely the closest battle ive ever seen. Literally came down to the last unit.

"outmaneuvering the maneuver that was originally outmaneuvering my outmaneuvering maneuver" - Pixie

In one of my campaigns I was playing as Rome and one of the barbarian tribes declared a surprise war, and two full stack armies attacked my 15 stack army so I was outnumbered almost 3 to 1. I put all my infantry and archers on the very edge of the map, but scattered my cavalry throughout the woodland. What followed was an hour of sending individual infantry units to try and tie up multiple enemy units at a time, sending my archers around to surprise them from behind, and a crap ton of charge cycling with my horses. Thankfully I managed to take out one of the generals early on, and when the final general fell it caused their last two units to break. I used my last cavalry unit to mop them up as they fled back across the map, wracking up a crap ton of kills. In the end I had my general's infantry unit and one unit of cavalry totaling about 100 men between them. The enemy lost one entire army and their second one had four units totaling about 300 men remaining. I then brought my 20 stack up from the south and tore through their kingdom in retribution.

Definitely one of the best pitch battles I’ve seen ANYWHERE for Rome 2! Awesome job! It’s absolutely, in my opinion the best one you’ve ever done Apollo! Great stuff man!

Dude, I was trying to cut down, but you pushed me off the "snacks" wagon with this one. Historical TW all the way!

12:20 "My elephants are trying to sneak by" this makes me crack up😂😂😂

5:50 me 9 years old Playing lego Star wars

Dude, ur posting every single day (not now since all the moving stuff) and u only have 520k subs. Like, i know people that post once every second month and have like 5 million subs. U deserve so much more dude keep on with the good stuff!

I agree Apollo that to a degree you shouldn't send troops in waves but what that does do for you is to keep your troops fresh while tiring the enemy, just something to think about

This is the textbook definition of a pyrrhic victory

This battle is the best I've seen you play.. EPIC!!! Great start with the cav. and what a finalé.. I dont think I have ever seen a total war battle that was this much touch and go till the very end.. You have my applause.. Well done sir. Apollo

great way to begin 2019!

Oh man, I bloody love u. You're so upbeat and excited about everything you post! High levels of amiability.

this was amazing.Loved the king of the hill style in the beginning and perfect teamwork. And THOSE CAV CHARGES!!

I love all the total war battles Apollo does, so right when I clicked the video and watched an ad, I clicked the like button without seeing a bit of the actual video

I don't usually watch your battles with any snacks and drinks but I just happened to have some close by today and I realize that I may need to do this more often... This was hands down one of my favorite battles so far, especially the seamless assault on the left flank at the start. 10/10 will definitely watch it again. Live that is...

Man, let me tell yousomething.. that was a great battle. Your tactics are great, I usually dont like watching this kind of stuff just playing but damn man you really kept me on edge of the seat really interested. You just gained a subscriber for it. I'd love to see more open field battles like this on massive scale just like this. Badass man

This really is the best battle. Wonderfully narrated. I've watched it three times.

Excellent as always. I love these huge clashes.

Just wanna say you are the man. These videos do these games justice in a way my very amateur playing does not.

That was the best battle ive seen so far on these simulations, great job fellas. On both sides.

Great battle again! You did excellent with the elephants and the pikes! Don't doubt the pike skills man, hell of a job winning that battle. I seriously can't wait to try and get a chance to battle with or against you lol. Don't be so hasty with those archers next time bud. They can still do some great things besides hunting down other archers. Keep up the great videos!

Can you do like the top 10 best battles you have ever reviewed and quick give a briefing on what happens and shit. That should be like a happy new years kind of thing. Or a thanks to your subs. Love your content btw x

Balearic slingers were extremely skilled units. Very fascinating I find them

Watching these total war videos makes me think about how terrifying it would’ve been to have been alive in these sword ages, and fighting up close shield to shield, sword to sword. The courage you would’ve had to conjure up would’ve been immense.I can’t even imagine

That was fricken intense bro. Good job. I was on the edge of my seat at the end.

I enjoyed every moment of this battle, Especially the end forced me to applause this magnificent closure. Thanks

Another wonderful video created by Apollo!!! Love the content👏👏👏

Your videos are a great help to me in playing total war! I learned so many strategies.

This was sooo good! Loved it!

Mad respect to everyone involved. I got myself some Total War games and its difficult af, but so satisfying to decimate the enemy with hard earned troops.

Great battle, that pike manuevering was on point, you defeated a Pretorian guard! Maybe next time you'd get the Seleucid Egyptian rivalry into a big battle like this one.

Imagine if Carthage had won The Punic wars. How different a world without Rome would have been.

Epic!!! Awesome commentary, Pix!!!

Great video bro! I love the fact you explained why you did what you did👍🏼

Every vid I watch of yours I make some popcorn and grab a coke. Super entertaining, action packed, and as good as a movie!!

Really great battle. I watch till the end. Your strategy was awesome.

Apollo! You are my inspiration for these total war games!

Damn this might be the most epic battle youve ever done apollo, goodjob!

I love the 4 v 4 with the same nation but i think it would be cool that instead of having each army be a small individual army you guys should get each of the 4 guys on the same team to have 1 act as the overall general, and the others like generals of a certain portion of the force. Each would have 4 players 1 overall commander (he has authority on the BF other generals listen to him): you could do real scenarios/battles with real generals or just custom make the scenarios but have each like army specialize in something: For ex. Persa vs Macedonia in the Battle of Gaugamela Macedonian Army: General 1(Alexander): would be full of Companion clav, some lighter cav and skirmishers General 2 (Parminion): Comprised of mainly hoplites with some cav and skirmishers General 3 (idk): middle comprised of almost all phalanx with some units of shield bears on the flank. General 4: same as general 3 or no one because the Greeks were outnumbered. Persian Army: General 1 (Dorias): Some chariots and a lot of powerful infantry and a unit of elephants General 2 (Mazius): A lot of cav (heavy and light but mostly light) and some light infantry General 3 (Bessues): Same as general 2 General 4: a lot of light infantry from all over the empire.

That was definitly awesome! What a glorious battle loved the commentary as well Apollo "gotta run those archer bastards down" 😂

Fantastic battle, we need more Rome 2 massive battles Apollo!!!

Epic battle, nice tactics ! Keep up the nice work! Big thumbs up.

That was an awesome battle! Good to see Rome II is still getting some love.

Absolutely great battle Apollo!!

I was really quite impressed by every player here. All of you did fantastic, especially the Praetorian Player.

Pretty damn god Mr Pixelated Apollo. You keep reminding me how good this game is. Thank you.

I just don't understand why PA still hasn't reached any amount of subscribers he actually deserves. Who doesn't love medieval war simulator ?

That video was sic!! Keep it up Apollo!!

I love the aggressiveness your team always seem to have. Honestly at first i thought you guys had it but it just gradually turned against you guys as it went on. At first I was like "ho i this the greatest" Then i understood

Crazy how a gigantic battle involving thousands of troops, in the end, comes down to a group I could probably fit in my living room.

Any battle from Pixelated Apollo is great!

Bravo Apollo! I enjoyed this one. Awesome maneuvers! I also suck at using pikes.

I liked that very much thank you for the video man and keep it up!

amazing battle and one of the first time every player really played together... especially with the cav

I LOVE IT SO MUCH... 42 mins very well spent THANKSSS

it was the greatest battle ever I've seen, nice job, I can't imagine that can I control a huge army like this or I can't.you did well👍

Who would dislike such a beautiful piece of art? Nice video, i remember when you had only a few thousand subs and im happy to see you're getting more recognition but i wish you would get more luv u pixi ( no homo )

This was awesome. Good job Apollo

happy new year apollo, lets have a good year 2019!!!!!

Man, an Apollo video makes my day, new or old, however bad that day was!

One of the best battles I ever seen in a Total War video. Congratulations for your performance. CARTHAGO DELENDA EST!!

I love your streaming videos on these epic battles. Really well done and I like your enthusiasm for the historical value that this game provides. However, this is without a doubt one of the bloodiest pyrrhic victories I have ever seen. This battle is like Okinawa, Gettysburg, and Cannae all rolled into one disastrous bloody battle. It was definitely an exciting battle to watch because the outcome was in question right up until the very end. But one thing to consider... If this battle were the real deal, your entire army would have been decimated and left with very few men remaining to defend your country with. As if that wasn't bad enough, your general is laying dead on the battlefield to boot. I don't know too many governments that would consider that a great win lol. The fact is, you saved your country from utter defeat and that's what counts, but you would have been left with basically no troops to take advantage of the win. I know one thing is for sure, I wouldn't want to be the one writing all the letters to the families. Carthage Military HQ To whom it may concern, (Please fill in any applicable family members. More than 2 will qualify you for a family pack bonus) ** We regret to inform you of the tragic passing of your ___________________. He fought valiantly to defend his country and we can all be proud of his valor. Although the win was a costly one, I am sure we will prevail and overcome our difficulties. God bless Carthage. Baal Hammon for the win! General Hannibal (Oh wait....shit he is dead on the battlefield!) General _________ (Soon to be promoted from the janitorial staff) PS..We are recruiting!! Join the Hoplites today and be the first kid on your block! (or the only one....since we have no troops left...)

That really was one of the best battles I've seen.

Top notch, Apollo!

Man, it was amazing! The best battle i have ever seen! Yay!

this is indeed the greatest battle i've ever witness, gg man.

Epic as always!

I like that you're doing a pitch battle as you normally do a siege battle

That was some incredible maneuvering!

It has been a good time to find your channel... Great content.

22:47. That is a BIG bird! o.O

Amazing adventure and a great victory!!

Rome 2 battles are the best videos on your channel!

Epic. Fun battle and great video.

Is there some kind of a ranking system in multiplayer battles so new players don't get rekt all the time in the beginning?

Amazing fight Apollo.

That was fun! Thanks for posting.

THIS. WAS. AWESOME.

Loved this battle, Carthage is a badass faction Greatest battle I ever witnessed was either the battle of weather hills, or that one battle in your skaven campaign.

Why am I addicted to these videos

Pixelated Apollo: get your snacks and drinks Me:gets dinner ready
