Just for a fun backstory in case anyone wanted some sort of story too this. It is the year 1972 of the Third Age. The kingdom of Arthedain, the last remaining remanent and bastion of the former power the Kingdom of Arnor has been caught in a war for many centuries against the Witch King of Angmar. King Eärnill II hears word of a massive force heading towards Annúminas the former capital of the once great kingdom of Arnor. If captured the Witch King would have a means to capture all of Eriador using the broken city as his staging ground. King Eärnill II sends two generals with a massive force to hold the invading force near the North Downs, north of Forenost. The two generals find an excellent location as to where hold their troops in between two great hills ensuring that being outflanked would be very difficult. After days of waiting the forces of the Witch King become present. A great sea of black and twisted metal is followed by the rough weathered looking men of Rhudaur. Eager to begin battle, the orcs march forward unto the long line of silver and black. Orc archers rush to set ablaze the trebuchets that the Arthedains brought. With mere mindless orcs pushing on to the shield wall and phalanxes that their foe have presented before them. Knowing that all their forces trying to take the center could end poorly the Rhudaur general sends his force around the hill in hopes of outflanking and surrounding their enemy. To their surprise however, they met a small detachment of knights. The Arthedains couldn’t afford to have any of their infantry leave the main battle line and instead took their cavalry to stop them by any means they could. While these knights were greatly outnumbered their sheer skill in battle combined with their amazing armor and unwillingness to give up made them a force to be cautious of. The main battle line now though was an onslaught of men and orcs and killing one another. Quickly being followed by trolls who had hoped to break the lines of the right flank. The trolls could easily crush a man in armor with their bare hands, but the men of the west refused to give ground and sent more troops to help those in need. The battle was truly one of epics as one might’ve seen during the war of the Last Alliance. As arrows casted black shadows on their hellish foe and trebuchets swallowed their targets in an inferno to keep the Arthedain land cleanse of such filth. But as battle raged on disaster struck for the men of the west. As an ill aimed trebuchet engulfed one of their generals and shortly following his death, a Rhudaur man took his great axe and hewed the second general from his horse. While truly a great moment for the forces of evil. The Arthedains would still give no ground and fought on in this epic struggle. After countless hours of tiring fighting though, the knights protecting the Arthedain rear was nearly all spent, and the solid line of men clad in silver armor now was a mere string of resistance, while the men of Arthedain had truly slew many of their foe in combat, they were now so few in number and were on the verge of being outflanked. The orcs now we’re down to their last and made a daring push to silence the monstrous trebuchets which earlier had made fertilizer of their fellow orcs. Men of Arthedain did what they could to stop this but the crew of the trebuchet was unable to gain control of their incredible machine. This only became worse as now the men of Rhudaur arrived and began to kill the few remaining men that stood. Only a handful of brave Knights now stood against those they once saw as brothers and made their final charge into their large pikes knowing what their fate would be. The battle had ended. The ground and land was littered with a bouquet of bodies. Swords stuck in the belly of orcs, limbs missing from bodies of the victims of the trolls and both men and orc alike laying lifeless and unrecognizable as their armor and bodies burned away from the hell fire that befell them. King Eärnill heard the tragic events that came of his force and sent word to Gondor in hopes of receiving aid. And while the Witch King may have claim victory that day his force was now too few to move to Annúminas, but he had his eyes set on a new target. That of Forenost the capital of Arthedain. Too any who read through this it is much appreciated. I tired to at least make it somewhat lore friendly. I know it’s not as good as most writers but I hope you enjoyed it. And plz keep making more Third Age videos Pixie. I love them so much and your commentary is awesome.
With your videos Apollo, you give people reason to smile. Reasons to laugh.. Reasons for them to go public and tell them their ideas that normally they wouldnt do in public. You give reasons for people to get together. We say youtubing is an occupation, that youtubers are same entertainers everywhere to get money, but honestly, you the gang of warhammer, specially you. You guys are amazing bunch of people and I hope you bring joy to everyone always. Great video Apollo! Skyrim misses you Pixie :)
that intro apollo was both funny and really nice, I'm glad I subscribed to your channel ever since it was around 70k and it was you who showed me third age total war mod and made me play it and be in love with it xD SO THANK YOU APOLLO
Knock knock Arnorian soldier:whooos thar? Troll : door Soldier: door wh- *SMASH* Troll: A GOD DAMN DOOR Btw apollo don't worry I usually play fpses at 5 to 10 frames usually THATS bad
This is why I love third age reforged mod, the battles last so long, unlike Warhammer which last under 20 minutes usually. Warhammer is still fun though. Keep up the great work Apollo!!!! Love all your vids!!
ya the commentary is great, keep it up m8 we dont like watching other peoples vids cuz they dont say anything, u comment in such a special way that u feel like ur part of the battle
Great video ;) I was kind of sad that Arnor didn't make it but still it was an amazing battle :) It was an amazing checklist and a speach at the begining :v
I could listen to you commentate anything. Literally anything. I cant wait for the future of Pixie Poo where you commentate the news and everything else that ever happens.
5:30 WTF Apollo hahahaah I died man....Like what the hell, god i'm grateful I always look at the army rosters otherwise I would miss little golden nuggets like this
I think the fact you post almost every day and the majority of your fan base watch's you for you're content specifically gives you a ton of room to expand on different types of game's. Nothing against third age but to put it out their is important.
You are just one of the best, most dedicated RUclipsr I've ever watched, keep up the good work Apollo, hope we will have a chance to meet on battlefield one day
Pixie all I could see in my mind when you were talking about trebuchets launching cow meat was the scene in Lord of the rings when merry and pipen are captured by orcs and the orcs start killing each other and one yells "looks like meats back on the menu boys"
Every-time I saw artillery fire in this video I remembered something: "Fire mission, danger close!" "Since when does general Shepherd care about danger close!"
Hey Pixie, you should do a part 2 where the orcs attack an Arnorian fort. If Arnor wins, they should go back to the field, and if Arnor wins that, they take the fight to an orc keep. Kind of like your old tug of war matches.
Apollo, while watching your video I just did not plug my headphones in properly and I was like, "Well! Why isn't Apollo speaking anything?.. Weird" Just wanted to tell you. Anyway love your video. The only criticism I have in this video is this one - 5:31
This has been my number one favorite intro of all time of yours. I had to play back in three different areas to make sure you said what I thought you said. Also will you and Jackie Fish be doing another tug of war using the Reforged Mod. Or even using the 1212ad mod for Attila
I'm going to change my name to high definition Apollo before someone else grabs it.
High Definition Apollo You sir shall live on immortalized from this one moment.. God bless you.
High Definition Apollo LMAO

Dude, you're videos are more often than not the highlight of my day
5:30 WTF Apollo hahahaah I died man....Like what the hell, god i'm grateful I always look at the army rosters otherwise I would miss little golden nuggets like this
I think the fact you post almost every day and the majority of your fan base watch's you for you're content specifically gives you a ton of room to expand on different types of game's. Nothing against third age but to put it out their is important.
great video, great commentary, = hi definition Apollo" i mean pixel.... haha great vid as always Apollo
Synn of the DarkCloud hey synn just wanted to say thanks for all these epic scenarios, you continue to keep me entertsined!
Synn of the DarkCloud lok
Dear Apollo I must say this was the most entertaining intro of all time really appreciate your work keep doing what you love
Loved your commentary, and the battle was awesome (so business as usual, really)
I LOVE the smell of Third Age in the morning!
At 14:12 you can here an orc like “WAUUUAGH”
Idk I just found it funny
You are just one of the best, most dedicated RUclipsr I've ever watched, keep up the good work Apollo, hope we will have a chance to meet on battlefield one day
Pixie all I could see in my mind when you were talking about trebuchets launching cow meat was the scene in Lord of the rings when merry and pipen are captured by orcs and the orcs start killing each other and one yells "looks like meats back on the menu boys"
Every-time I saw artillery fire in this video I remembered something:
"Fire mission, danger close!"
"Since when does general Shepherd care about danger close!"
And after the ammo ran out,
"Seems the meat is back on our menu!"
I really got touched by your wordt Apollo, i restored my faith in life
May have been the best third age battle I have seen.
the quote is:
"romans march separately and fight cohesively"
and those gateguards learn to do one thing in the army: Hold the door
This youtuber had gotten me into the total war series :)
congrats apollo you are close to 350k.👍👍👍👌
make us happy by posting these amazing third age battles
Hey Pixelated Apollo this is so cool. I am from the Netherlands and I watch your channel almost every day. Keep up the good work.
Obie Wan: I have the high ground Anakin
Anakin: yeah but your in the range of my archers so hah!!
Your Third Age Total War videos always amaze me! The effort is crazy!!
Always love your vids, Pixelated Apollo!! Especially the Third Age ones!
Ya'll heard the orc yell at 14:11 right?
Great video as always Apollo - far better than studying!
I like how at the beginning he was like we make it good to we are perfect lol
Great vid mate. Love total war and enjoy listening to you. Have a great day.
LOOOL the snaga archer screamin at 14:10 xDDDDD
1 hour long Third Age Total War battle this is what I am talking about
Those gate guard survived in the front line for more than half the battle!!
" I wouldn't change a single thing on you"
Begs me to get a facelift
Hey Pixie, you should do a part 2 where the orcs attack an Arnorian fort. If Arnor wins, they should go back to the field, and if Arnor wins that, they take the fight to an orc keep. Kind of like your old tug of war matches.
Great video as always Pixel. You're awesome !
My favorite part was when he said that we are the universe and then the nice music instantly stopped and we got the Pixilated Apollo we know.
I don't remember the battle but in the game LOTR conquests for xbox 360 there was a battle near the end that was so badass and be awesome to regreat
Damn that treb hit so many defenders....but got some really good hits towards the end.
Ahh, trebuchets, now that's a proper siege weapon that can fire a 90kg projectile 300 meters
Apollo, while watching your video I just did not plug my headphones in properly and I was like, "Well! Why isn't Apollo speaking anything?.. Weird"
Just wanted to tell you.
Anyway love your video. The only criticism I have in this video is this one - 5:31
Love the video as always man
This has been my number one favorite intro of all time of yours. I had to play back in three different areas to make sure you said what I thought you said. Also will you and Jackie Fish be doing another tug of war using the Reforged Mod. Or even using the 1212ad mod for Attila
My heart goes out to that rudar army who spent most of the battle getting mauled by the cav.
INSANELY FUNNY INTRO, I am logging on to all my youtube accounts and liking your video 6 times
apollo's content of third age is really really good! combination of all elements , big ups to apollo
thank's for mentioning me in your videos. Really appreciate
people who can micro manage several cav at once man u have my respect some of the best players in total war and games cause that shit is hard as fuck.
