That sound and look of those battle lines firing all their guns was beautiful. Than the massive gun powder smoke clouds in the air gave it even a better effect. Amazing video Apollo.
Fabio looked at the Highlanders surrounding him. He looked around, all his friends retreating. He felt a sense of desperation. He reflected on life. He remembered his father saying, "Remember Fabio, if anyone ever a-make you angry, you imagine them putting pineapple on a-pizzeria!" That was it. He felt angry. With a mighty robust war cry, "VIVA ITALIA!" he stepped forth into the Highlander's bayonets. "AAA!!!!!!" he shouted. He would not let his enemies touch his home. He fiercely fought, as bayonet rang on bayonet, he held off 50 Highlanders. Suddenly a Scottish man towered over Fabio. "FER BONNIE SCOTLAND!" he yelled as he pushed Fabio to the ground. Fabio's head rang as he lay there. He yelled and thrust upward. The Scottish man, since he was not wearing a kilt, to a bayonet to his balls. Fabio got up and ran.
@@James-vm2cl I thought that was hilarious. That and when the British General told the other generals that their fathers were hamsters and their mothers smelt of elderberries. Which ended up causing the other two generals to go into a blind rage and attack the British general.
Good fight. Both sides did great. I was cheering the UK on the whole time. The British players did absolutely wonderful. Good army and map awareness, they made great use of formations and using that height ground to their advantage. I love seeing these kind of pvp engagements. Apollo you are absolutely the best total war commenter on RUclips. Very nice replay of a battle that was both entertaining as it was intense. 👍🤟🤘😎
@Pixelated Apollo in one battle, we were massacred on the battlefield, and were forced to retreat with what troops we had left to better positions. Our troops were exhausted, and heavily depleted. The largest units we still had were a maximum of 60 men. There was only about 500 of us left. The enemy, playing as the French, even after the beginning battle was over, had over 5000 men left between them. We retreated to a small town on the outskirts of the map, taking losses as we ran. The town was surrounded by dirt mounds, tall enough to provide cover. We set up behind the mounds and waited for the coming onslaught. Due to the few of us left, the micromanagement had been reduced significantly, allowing orders to be given swiftly to my allies. We were already low on ammunition, so we decided to hold our fire until they came over the mounds, our small fortresses walls. As we settled in, we began to hear the distant sound of drums, and the rumble of thousands of enemy troops marching on our positions. The enemy began to cross the mounds, and we opened fire, cutting down row after row as they climbed into our town. My allies were skeptical of our chances of victory. I focused on issuing orders and defeating the enemy. They came in waves, and we defeated each one. The combat devolving into a desperate fistfight at times. And each time we fought them off. One of my allies had been cut off from our retreat early on, and had been holding a large portion of the enemy at a farmhouse far away from us, which is what caused the “waves”. Now, you may be wondering, why am I telling you this in RUclips chat, instead of sending you the replay. Here is why, just as the third and final wave was upon us, my computer could no longer take the strain, and gave me a blue screen of death.
"Cuz Napoleon was kind of known for like uniting Italy correct?" Yes Pixie, that's the *nice* way of saying it lol. By 1799 he mostly had all of Italy under his control. The Marengo Campaign in 1800 basically sealed the deal and he was the self proclaimed "King" of Italy. I love your commentating. Keep it up.
When you fight till a bloody draw: OOOOFFF, WHY CANT THEY DIE? When your general agrees to fight the other general to stop the bloodshed and decide the battle: THATS A HONORABLE LEADER! LET THEM FIGHT! BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGODS! When both generals die: Well...ahem.... guys... so...do we continue? I heard there is a good tavern in town. How about setting this with a drinking game? After the battle: I KNEW WE WOULD WIN AGAINST THESE SPAGHETTIS CARL! I FUCKIN TOLD YOU SO!
This Total War battle Apollo really reminds me of what an actual 1700s Napoleonic battle would look like IRL especially at the end with the two generals meeting in the center and talks go sour turns into a sword fight
Hello I was one of the players to get into this video I had no idea this was uploaded! BTW The polish player dc'ed during a crucial part of the battle the AI was mostly commanding the remains of it
@@animeyahallo3887 surely some French loyalists will stop him before he can recruit more followers and gain power and be a threat to the European monarchies again... oh, wait
Hey pixlatedapollo, I was in the battle as the polish in the center and yes I might've shot moravex general, but he did get disconnected from the battle and honesty thank you for the post bro!
Warhammer may have the new pretty models but a set-piece, chess-like Napoleon battle is far more exciting to watch. Plus none of that unbalancing magic bollocks.
Apollo: “I’m from Ireland and Scotland, those are two REGIONS” Me: “Ha... regions................” *stares into space for a few moments* Me: “REGIONS!!!! WE’RE FUCKING COUNTRIES!!!!!!” (Sry, had to get that out.)
Hey guys ive recently started playing med2 since 'pollo here claims its the best,been enjoying it very much. But i dont get it what triggers so much rebels since my public order is happy green face. Is it the difficulty setting?? Keep it up Pixie almost 800k!
I just love the sound of musket fire. That polish player was infuriatingly incompetent. When he's not firing his cannons into his own men hes blocking his own lines of fire with random unformed blobs. You can see he's moving his troop at 29:00 but not only does he not clear his lines of fire he doesn't friggin form them up!
Now that's what padme would call agressive negotiations. Honestly the best part of the battle. They're gonna negotiate a truce.No they are just gonna kill each other. It would have been cool if they had all just left the battle afterwards though like you said
From the film "Following my course": '- Captain, what's the most important quality of a soldier? - Tenacity. That, and the ability to follow orders no matter how tough the situation is.'
The Vistula Legion is definitely a cool faction! Napoleon got a lot of support from the Poles for liberating them from Russian and Austrian rule. The Vistula Legion marched with him to Moscow-and unfortunately got decimated as a result, of course.
The part where the British and the Italian general meets, it was like: “So, we good bro?” Italian General “Mmmmmm, nope I rather died” Arther “Yea me too” Italian general
What mod are you using for the larger maps, the unique map icons and I am pretty sure your muskets all sound a lot quieter/cleaner than vanilla. Does anyone know the mods in use here?
12:26 This battle really looks like the battle of borodino. Instead of the Russians defending a hill, it's the British. You even have the wooded area with the poles in there(which historically, the polsih infantry was on the right side of Napoleons army in the wooded area)
21:23 Giuseppe Garibaldi is the one famous for uniting Italy during the unification wars of the 1850s and 60s haha but Napoleon was allied with the Kingdom of Naples I think?
Me & my friend did kinda what they did with the generals, we lined up all of our armies like 2 metres from each other to get a stare down in medieval 2 & then just walked forward
“Three units of units” Me: Well said, well said
The floor here is made of floor

The generals wanted to see who is the alpha chad
We need the Life of a Soldier for that Italian who held off the Highlanders. The absolute Chad!!
32:47 made me legit laugh so hard I teared up a bit
The general engagement at the end threw me. Haha. Great battle. Love the mod.
It's been a long semester but I'm glad I can relax and watch tons of new Napoleon and Third age battles. Just like the good old days :D
And that is why you never mess with the ‘thin red line’.
Dam staright
32:47 why did i laugh so hard at this
I didn’t laugh at this the first time but when you watch it from the time stamp I can’t stop laughing
Same. I'm not proud of how many times I immediately replayed that part.
I wonder how he was killed. Sees another horseman gets blown to bits. ahh...
*Highland foot fighting* Apollo: “The highland foot are at work today” Me: “I do believe so Apollo”

at 11:46 some poor lad got sent FLYING from that cav charge in the mid right of the screen LOL
Love it when he says “get some snacks and drinks” when I have my snacks ready.
Yo, remember when she stole the dome off the Taj Mahal... *and then tried to create dinosaurs in the same episode?*
