Hey there, Seleucid player here! Thanks so much for covering the replay, splitting our armies was a big risk and we really thought we lost it at the start but we got lucky :)
Apollo has been grinding and making videos for us since I was in middle school he tries and works a lot harder than most creators and he is still one of my absolute favorite people and I’ve always wanted to play a siege battle with him
With Rome's conquest of mainland Italy now out of the way, Rome sets it's sights on gaining full control of Sicily. For the longest time, Syracuse has been a client state of Rome and have been able to be protected from larger threats due to Rome watching over them. However, a new king as taken control of Syracuse, and he can see the writing on the wall when it comes to Rome's ambition. Not wanting to be controlled by them anymore, Syracuse has been sending out requests to help them in the event that Rome decides to annex them by force. With Carthage too busy with internal problems and trying to keep their hold in Iberia, Syracuse sought out help from the next best thing: Egypt. With the fear that total control of Sicily will give Rome greater control of the Mediterranean, Egypt's trade routes would be at risk and thus making it easier for Egypt to accept Syracuse's call for aid. In addition to their forces, they were able to bring along a Kush mercenary army to help bolster their ranks. With word of Syracuse's insurrection reaching their ears, Rome mobilizes their forces as well and also call on allies to aid them. First ones to be called were Massalia, a Greek colony in southern Gaul who were trade partners with Rome and an important buffer region between Rome and the barbarians to the north. Also, Rome sent a request to the Seleucid Empire in the hopes that they would want to join in against the Ptolemaic rivals, the Egyptians. Even though they were dealing with Persians on their eastern border, they Seleucids were able to send a sizable force to assist Rome in their war effort. With the pieces assembling for both sides, Rome launches it's assault into Syracuse lands, with all armies meeting up in a coastal fort north of Syracuse. Will Rome force another faction to bend the knee and be crushed by their ambition, or will Syracuse hold on to their autonomy and prove that Rome is not as invincible as they make themselves out to be?
Hey Apollo I’ve been a fan for about 3 to 4 years and RUclips is doing you very dirty as you never came up on my recommended and I’m so glad I found your channel again, great content.
Awesome video but the audio sounds.... weird. It might just be my headphones being off or something but it almost seems like a super small echo or something. Maybe I am going crazy! Thanks for the great replays as always Apollo!
25 second, 1 view, 3 likes... and still counting p.s First time seeing your video in Biggus D**kus gameplay first episode. Since then, I've been following your journey. No matter what content you upload, keep your videos coming. I'm sure your community will enjoy each video you make. To Editor: Love that small notes and simple captions xD
Question, as you know when you destroy the section of the wall where you put siege engines doesnt make a hole in the wall… so why not just build whole wall THAT thick? Bruv.
Hi Apollo, nice video, upload the new ShieldWall campaigns...they are great!!!! We want to see how our trusted youtuber passes the entire ShieldWall Campaign. ^^
any chance of sharing replay file with us pls ?? i want to observe it many times i'am kinda new to the game + i think i'm not doing pretty well in siege battles
SPOILER!!!!
Something I missed at the end of the video!
I Think the Roman Capture the Victory Point at the End!
yeah the point they captured was the Victory Point, the other point the defenders held at the end was that moral boost one
mane why do people stop watching him he's a really good youtuber
Apollo, please play more Conquerors blade 🙏🙏
Good I was hoping they would win
Yeah based by Syracuse's gameplay you can tell that they're likely newer to the game because of unit positioning and overall tactics.

whoa
Did the defenders have significantly reduced funds for this one? there seems to be significantly more premium units on the attacker side.
@@Mr.Anderson__ no they didn't - we played on large funds all round
Man, if Kush actually has Shotel Warriors the defenders would have had a better chance
@@Mr.Anderson__ Defenders may have opted for upgrades and experience upgrades in favor of full stacks.
How is he not at a million yet? This is a travesty
Maybe people should share the video
Because he has kinda fallen off. I love his videos but I will admit it.😢
He plays a bunch of other boring games I never bother watching
@@04vanegas agreed
I know😂
Are you sure the Romans weren’t posted up in the capture point? They seemed very content holding 6 units in the same capture circle.
they were. the defenders had the wrong point
Apollo has been grinding and making videos for us since I was in middle school he tries and works a lot harder than most creators and he is still one of my absolute favorite people and I’ve always wanted to play a siege battle with him
Love the historical TW battles! Some medieval or Britannica would be a nice video!

Biggus Whiffus strikes again, anticlimactic end of battle.
This defense definitely needed Sparta
27:05 whem he is zooming into the blob of troops you can notice that the soldiers are holding their weaponry with open palm hands😂😂

Can you do all Main Roman Factions, Desert Romans, and Spartans Vs everybody else?
Imagine choosing kush and only bring Slave infantry to the Field
I’m had a lesson about Rome in school I think it was one of the best history lessons I ever had

You have Dyslexia or whatever its called, im sure of it after you looked at the Massalia general and read it "Masaesyli"

Hi Apollo, nice video, upload the new ShieldWall campaigns...they are great!!!!
We want to see how our trusted youtuber passes the entire ShieldWall Campaign. ^^
If you don't sub to Apollo to get him to a million, then you are a word that rhymes with baguette
Love the videos
Everyone just left the game at the end. It's very stupid
Could you do one more Rome 2 campaign that you finish Apollo not just gonna left it by episode 4😭😭😭
I really miss more R:TW videos 😢
Epic!!!
What happened to kush,,strange battle
yesss moar rome 2
any chance of sharing replay file with us pls ??
i want to observe it many times i'am kinda new to the game
+ i think i'm not doing pretty well in siege battles
Bro where’s Bannerlord
For the algorithm
1) The attacker sent the replay so I am sure 99.99% that they won
2) Syracuse used 6 Light Hoplites which means he is a noob and will lose
is this a paid or free game ?
paid, it's on steam. But better to get during summer or winter sale
no they lost the VP
Yey I'm early
What about biggus?
# boo
First
Should I buy the game or is it too dead
