UNLEASHING GREEK FIRE! - Epic Medieval Battle! | Medieval Kingdoms Total War 

The Zagwe dynasty (or kingdom) was located in modern-day Eritrea and Ethiopia and lasted from about 900 to 1270 AD, when they were conquered by another Abyssinian (Ethiopian) kingdom. They weren't especially well-known to Mediterranean (let alone European) kingdoms, but they had some loose cultural and economic ties to Egypt and Jerusalem.

To help a bit with the german word Soldritter: Sold is the pay of warriors and soldiers, Ritter is the german word for knight. Soldritter was a term used to describe knights that had either paid off their debt/bought themselves out of the fief to their liege and then fought for payment rather than because they were obligated to fight a specific amount of days a year for their liege, kinda like mercenaries, or they were the later born sons of knights who wouldn't get a share of the inheritance, so they too fought for payment and to maybe gain some land or something else for themselves.

Love how there's a war about to happen but the pigs are the main attraction till they cross the river

Apollo: “Horse archers are not scary” Elongus: “Ooh horse archers go brrt”

14:28 A soldier, being burned alive screams in pure agony. Apollo: "Thats so cool! *o* "

The cheirosiphōnes hand-held siphon soldiers projecting "Greek fire" would have had very short-range, with a single "shot". I've not seen any evidence of portable containers for re-loading the syringes on the battlefield. Think of a brass garden syringe full of petrol. Range about 20 yards.

Apollo the Prussians are adding artillery on our new map! I have been trying to get videos of it but the staff are wanting to surprise people. Loved the video and keep up the great work!

Apollo-Horse archers aren’t that scary Mongols- am I a joke to you?

I joined this Chanel when you had 20k subs I miss the old third age videos… you’re great videos are a big reason I got a pc to play these epic mods!

That was impressive of the Zagwe player. Even though he was defeated, his low tech tier soldiers had the edge on empress. I think those two had a vicious engagement. I don't mind Apollo's "squirrel" moments. If I dont like it I fast forward.

Though they might not have been extremely effective, it still stuns me to think that the Greeks had flame throwers. Speaks a lot about Greek innovation of that time.

I felt a real connection when you completely dismissed the giant battle about to ensue just to check out the critters 😂

Man , the Greeks just lit up the battlefield .

" idk, my German isn't really that good. Neither is my French or my English". Lmfao xD

5:27 jinx Apollo. You owe me a coke haha

I love that little slip up, “The lighting in the most recent total wars are just dogshit”.

It’s always a great day when Poxlated uploads!

Thousands of men marching to their deaths: Apollo: 'PIGGIES!!!'

Its crazy, invicta posted a new vid on Greek fire a few days ago. If any of u r interested, I highly reccomend u watch it. It cool

"The lighting is just dog s**t" "oops sorry"

Woah, the update completely changed Hellenic factions

Life of a piggy next video ;D

Apollo: "Piggies! Are those piggies? Awwwww."

The UnHoly German Confederation was neither Holy, Roman or an Empire.

Man I wish I could send you a battle from 10 years and 2 PCs ago on Rome total war. It was a 2v2 Rome vs barbarians. My teammate played the defensive stance I went aggressive. However, I leave 2 cohorts to help try and curb his enemies flank for him. I take heavy losses but my men fight through the barbarians and I am able to swing my army around. My teammate however lost, and I was forced to fight. This was a wooded map and I had brought a scorpion… what I thought was a mistake turned into brilliance! My enemy and myself were down to a couple of units, me a half dead legion and a single scorpion, he with 2 barbarian heavies. I ran my legion in a circle around his army while my scorpion shot them in the back, I killed one unit of his but almost lost my own…. Things were dire. I tried to kite him with my legion so my scorpion would shoot him as my men could not take his. He goes for my scorpion and I flank him…. At this point it’s a scorpion crew and a handful of men against melee infantry and my men broke. He chased the legion and I put my crew back on the scorpion, he realizes his mistake too late and the crew shoots them down as he tries to re engage as I pull a victory from jaws of defeat!

Pixelated Apollo > any other youtuber

That was a pretty good cav charge at 22:44 just wish cav was more effective

I expect many things when I watch Apollo's videos, but I really did not expect a Little Nicky reference.

Shu-tup' Shu-tup' lol

The medieval Greek armor looks dope

1:30 - Church Lady!

Apollo: *just imagine stepping out of you house looking like this, i mean, come on! the fish scale armor, the cloaks, the gold trim!, dude what, looking awesome* meanwhile me: huh, lemme try wearing that *living in a tropical country* oh god... its so hot,... its hard to breath..,

In the very early days of battle simulator games, there was a game called General Chaos on the mega drive, and I seem to be the only one who remembers it. Just wondering if there's anyone else out there who remembers playing it! Cos I'm starting to think I imagined the whole thing!

i have a question... what is ur favorite one of these games?

much more chill than usual apollo, keep it up don't pressure yourself

A good unit to make is a Gamer brigade. Big guys rolling along in unison on their computer chairs and recliners, armed with Lysol, lighter esc flame throwers.

apollo i love u bro these are the best

Its always good to see a Roman brother out there

Yesssss another day maker. Love you Apollo!

1:40 Oh Apollo.... As a medieval history nerd I have deal with that all the time(

Alexandria… sounds like Alexander the Great named it

McLovin it.

Nice vid

Nice video i love ur history knowledge I know much history thank u

*Very Early Proto-Colonisation by Europeans in Africa Colorized* Native africans: What is this sorcery? 😱

Imagine an army of flamethrowers taking on the whole world. Now that be chaos

When you started to talk about the pigs I thought this video was going to be a boar.

One I hate with a vengeance about 1212ad is how they stick shields on everything even when hugely inaccurate. It destroys my immersion.

I’m one of those that agrees with the “it was neither holy or Roman” 😅😂

I'll make sure to tell those Holy Roman Empire haters to "Shut Up" Very Holy Sooo Roman And Definitely an EMPIRE!!!!

Mk 1212 ad again yeahh

Hey Apollo! I have been watching your channel for a while. What total war game do you suggest to people?

I only came here for 3:02. Great battle, again! Apollo4eva

1:40 Based

awesome to see you make videos on the Medieval Kingdoms mod for Attila Total War, also it's awesome to see Epirus (would still be awesome if it was Nicaea or Trebizond), fight alongside the HRE, reminds me of that replay custom battle from Medieval 2 Total War that you did back then ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99QjqX_glzg.html anyways, the Zagwe Dynasty is basically an African faction close to the Ayyubid Dynasty, they didn't do much but they did trade such with Egypt (Ayyubids), plus since the age of Christian Rome, they believed in the Monophysite type of Christianity which is believing that Christ is both Divine and Human instead of believing that Christ has two forms 10:45, nope, not Varangians, Varangians use two handed axes, the "Vardariotai" use maces

Yes apollo yes!!

Is the CAMPAIGN also working for co op/head to head? Or was it not implemented/buggy still? :O

Damn, this is gonna be epic!

Ah I thought it was Med 2 content at last :( either way nice content.

That Greek fire is so cheese

Is this a mod and how do you get it I have seen this mod all the time and I wanna play it so bad ? 😁

Dammmm

How much for a pc that gives this good graphics?

Could you watch newer player's games and give them tipps? Being a new player myself, I know the basics from the game threw your videos, but not how to do the small movements, what to do against a lot of missile cav, etc.

This is cool

The holy roman empire is epic

I have the Miki mouse Princess Leia hair cut 😔

hmmm medieval 2 looks weird

Greek fire more like friendly fire did yall see that 12:52 rewind from there and watch the greek fire rounds

Zagwe is an Ethiopian realm.

What’s the game

I wish Apollo could play hoi4

Hmm, must re-install Attila tw and play this mod, Now!!!!

YES MORE 1212AD

Boar carried

Awesome video!! Always annoyed me that Rome, Attila, Medieval ++ uses same horns, voices, shouting etc...
