CONQUERING The CATAPULTS! Craziest Castle Siege Yet in ShieldWall!

baron give me back my legions that's basically me talking to myself about two episodes ago in the shield wall series where i encountered the greatest opposition we've ever had the battle of durackian here now it's kind of over here and like modern day i guess it'd be like albania or thereabouts but this battle brought in catapults and i've been playing that mission the same way i've played all of these glorious victories over here so it's like i think part of the reason why i was defeated was i played it the same way so one of the things that we are going to do here is a keep in mind the catapults we need to always keep in mind those pesky heat-seeking catapults they kind of fire like trebuchets but essentially they're gonna fire and they're gonna try to anticipate where we're gonna be look at that that actually worked out very well and by the way testudo does not block giant catapult rocks that should come as no surprise to anybody but they're gonna try to anticipate where we're moving to so i'm gonna try to keep as many of my men alive as possible against them there's blue army over there all right two incoming giant catapult shells do we can we capture this flag real first but basically normally i try to defend a flag if they're going at it i i fight at my flag and try to destroy as many enemies as possible that way to make it like cost them a lot and me be able to reinforce but the issue here is we simply don't have the funds to fight that way we cannot afford direct action so what we're going to do is try to avoid it at least for the beginning part oh that catapult his way off i'm very thankful for that but you can see basically purple is pompe magnus i'm julius caesar we're encountering one of the many roman civil wars here and blue's this like greek a random hellenic faction and i'm not entirely sure why they're here but they are oh there's pompe magnus over there he's probably gonna come in here and hit me in the nuts if i was to stick around and fight him anyway so let's try to make sure we avoid whoop yep i thought that thing was coming the giant catapult rocks and where is this blue guy leonidas he's not late nights maybe he's like one of his great great great great great grandsons or something like that he's a spartan and he's trying to really be a jerk out there there he is so we're two minutes in we have a few flags purple and blue haven't fought each other just yet whoa and we really need them too they're the outer walls of pompei magnus's fortress here walled city oh that's bad oh that was a big one a lot of guys got hurt there man i'm getting two flags captured at the same time oh and by the way watch out for that this is like one of the new little secrets or collectibles you gotta find them in all of the levels the old like greek urns or you know pots let's see if we can't use the catapult to wreck some of these spartans here if we can take them out that way that would be ideal or if we can lure them into a purple base that would also be ideal because with them having three flags it's not likely that we'll be able to take a flag from them and eliminate them although purple is kind of helping oh my god there goes all my army well i think we're gonna have to fight them here i wanted to avoid this as much as possible but they forced me to do it so i got my throwing spears and i got their heads in front of me let's see we'll let guys watch out for that stone now blue and purple are fighting over here that's finally working out well we fought another battle here and that was actually successful so if purple can do the job and capture all those flags that'd be pretty cool because blue's almost out of out of money let's see if we can't capture and hit them before they take this flag there we go we'll capture it real quick you've got one more oh my god i wasn't paying attention those tank catapults but this is a little bit better of progress than we've seen in the past and we've got a decent amount of gold and one of those rocks there's blue again dang it blue just give it up will ya i love throwing spears look at this boom oh god it's pompe magnus this is gonna be do we have the gold yes we do all right surround them hit them from all sides and maybe the catapults might just help us nope they're gonna be focused on me naturally incoming oh my god it's a three-way [Music] let's have blue and purple fight it out a little bit so i've just destroyed two if it wasn't for those catapults man okay we gotta get on gold capping now let's see we are here do i i gotta go for blue i gotta go for blue just because they they just messed things up now they're going to be over here so if i can intercept that army there we go there we go hey hey leonidas the fifth all right boys all right so he's got enough money for a few soldiers no i got hit by the catapult oh wow my soldiers still went in and won and leonidas the younger just got hit by a catapult shell which is one of the things that i've been forgetting to do but this is this is very good this eliminates them from contention so now with blue gone it makes this far more manageable so d is getting taken right over here i don't think we have the soldiers or gold to get in the pitched battle we're doing a lot more pitch battles than when i said earlier hey guys we're not going to do any pitch battles so with blue knocked out we've got about half the gold and there's pompe fighting behind us okay there we go this is working this is working let's see where is purple's patrol leaving them now at some point we need to conserve the gold so we can upgrade gate crashing as well as have a few extra gold here because i've noticed that they kind of retreat back to their fort every now and then all right so pompei's coming out let's see if i can't i want to get the catapult to hit them but it's actually just kind of sticking on me still that didn't work out did it it did not work out at all incoming okay we're spending all of our money on reinforcements they have a standard bearer yeah i'm bankrupt but we defeated them so that'll buy us a little bit of time to try to take the last flag and then now starts the siege wait pompe you're not supposed to be there what are you doing there pompeii all right well i'm gonna hide in these rocks here and maybe they'll miss and every man that dies i'll just buy a new one it sounds it's so so insensitive to my roman legions but remember baron wants to get back his legion so that is what we're doing and that actually that was a nice little spot here because it absorbed most of the dang it it absorbed most of the stones i'm wondering should i get like my respawn time i just don't i can't afford the gold that was a very untimely demise but i guess most demises usually are especially when you're a general who's supposed to be leading an army oh god that's a good one so where's where's pompei oh there's all of his soldiers right there he's gathering his forces i need to capture this one and hopefully bait him into attacking here if he attacks the one i'm in that's awesome biscuits all right there we go now if we don't see him in his fort he's moving to the other one oh gosh that's gonna be a few men he's moving to the other one so we gotta get there before he does no he's still back there okay we'll we'll fight in front of our flag then gentlemen oh gosh oh gosh so what we need to do is is we don't want him we want him to come fight in front of our flag see this is where like the conventional strategies that i've used in most shield wall battles can take place now one of the things i'm going to do is i'm going to increase the number of units so i have a few more soldiers maybe hopefully than he does and i'm gonna stay close to the battle because then the rocks go that way use the catapults against them beautiful and what we do is upgrade great crashing and i've gotta conserve gold a little bit a little bit hey get that standard bear out of here but look at this okay he's sending in another army now i don't want them to go on patrol and take a flag hello pompe your stupid catapults are really annoying and i hate you now if i take the gold now i get 617 because my gold rate is 30 and then the base amount so i could wait a little bit more maybe after fighting this one it'll buy me the time right in your face oh that guy blocked it with a shield oh i shouldn't have bought those soldiers [Music] but i did all right i say we take the extra gold because what we're gonna do is buy the standard now we're gonna customize him to have the standard main sign and we're gonna choose flag capture speed this is key now this poor first wave is not gonna enjoy it so we do have gate crashing which means we'll attack gates much faster so this first wave is truly well it's the vanguard and most of them already died right there incoming pilum and incoming catapult shots all right attack the gates oh my god look at how many pilot throwers there are over there the the other gate is not as well guarded oh my my standard got taken out but look how much gold i have like 500 okay well if if you insist look at everybody everybody's porcupine and i'm gonna die there's a few guys left i guess and they were throwing spears let's hide behind these rocks now i've got 600 dollars we're gonna send endless waves at these walls anyway so what i need to do this time that i didn't do the last time is attack after the catapults have fired it buys us a little bit of time okay there's one oh god that one's a good one that one was a fantastic one we lost three men now we dodge the pile of moving in as best we can we send all of our men into attack out i took a pile i'm dead but my guys should continue fighting so that's actually fine because i should be able to build up a third wave so this is the siege yeah now they go in and fight you're so brave you guys are so brave now i'm gonna get this second wave here or i guess it's a third wave technically all right the number of units has been limited out well we're gonna need more oh he's coming to us charge boys no no no i said charge oh i didn't do i didn't do it there's like four guys left all right well why they fight i'm gonna get the reinforcements i wonder if a button that could be like by maximum number of soldiers would be pretty cool oh they got pilum now look at you all fancy like all right we're gonna hide here they fired all their pilots so let's see how the catapult stones do now they're they're bouncing off the rocks because they're trying to seek on me this is the perfect spot all right boys look at him he's he's back already all right so if we participate they should charge right whoop yeah the catapult helped me kind of all right reinforcements they're gonna hold the bridge eh oh pile of man catapult that was that was pretty nasty but the catapult hurts them too and i can get some head shots every now and then all right boys all right you brave survivors i think what we should do is switch up where we're attacking from this gate is pretty well defended we're gonna try the other one now hopefully i guess if they do come out and attack we'll get by them easier so we are going to take a little bit of a detour and some of our men that'll be the last detour they ever take you can see point wise we're finally catching up in almost looking like we are going to surpass the purple romans of pompeii magnus now on the way here we're gonna pick up some reinforcements that are much needed due to catapult fire see this bridge is much more forgiving now i think pompey may have left the fort eat it eat my spears no he's still there now they're hopefully cleaning some of them out now what i need to do is run back and get the reinforcement wave and then i think we need to bypass the army and try to take the flag skirp it's so much easier to dodge when it's just me but when i have a full army chances are a lot of them are gonna die all right so both catapults fired we might have time now the gates will be open there goes a few of us and they're kind of sticking near the flag so all i need is my standard to be alive don't don't go near the flag don't do that you jerk oh that catapult all right here we go that's what we wanted we wanted them off of the flag now they're running at us so what i do is i need to blow the standards horn i've got 13 men this should work see look at that the fast cap does it work almost well it almost worked we'll we'll probably need to do this a few more times hey where'd you come from of course you're the reinforcements aren't you but see that's the idea we've got five minutes well i guess technically we have 11 minutes to do this don't go out that door pompe actually do it because i'm going in the other one never mind i spawned here why all right so pompey charged in that was a good one all right i'm barely alive but i am alive so that's gotta count for something okay we gotta wait for the two stones while pompey's getting his army back where are the catapults where are the catapults dang it pompe don't clog that bridge bro don't do that if it goes on we're going to win i just i just want to win the other way i think they're going to rearm in time yeah i can i can see him knocking right now get behind the walls because this flag is worth like 180 gold oh god they're behind me aren't they it's got like nine health i died to take that but that's fine i guess we did distract them long enough so we've got what 600 gold we'll have a uh a pilum and maybe a hero respawn oh wow we're outta i shouldn't have bought them all man all right this is it this is it i don't know if it is actually i'm just hoping it is don't don't don't block my flag bro oh god we'll throw some back i can hear the catapults knocking i don't have my standard bearer all right you guys fight i gotta get out of here i have an idea i'm not sure if it'll work but what we need to do because i have to dodge the catapults making it very difficult i wonder how many times in this video i've said oh we gotta dodge the catapults what i want to do is come in from the other side but i want my respawn to be over there too dang it there goes my standard bear the eagle cause there's a lot more room to maneuver over on this side and unfortunately the catapults are alternating fire they're not firing simultaneously so i'm gonna help here batter this wall down and i really really wish look pompei's out see one of the flags has been taken so i think once we where did you come from pompeii you can't do that you are hacking there we go i respawned at the right one though i might need to upgrade to legion no i wish there was another way in that one actually we were able to dodge a decent amount of them so they're probably going to throw a pile them right yep don't worry about them boys don't worry about the guys trying to kill you is my standard no my standard got stuck here we go we'll use we'll use pilot throwing so that they chill for a little bit oh my god we almost got it we got to win this one and i don't think we have the numbers notice how i'm fighting by myself right now all right i got the standard bear this time he's right behind me so this is it the quick standard bear attack and capture it's not the time i thought it was the time it's not i wonder how many times i've died now are the gates defended i think so incoming one minute left whoa boys i need you to attack this gate because he's out oh my god i i almost i just glitched through i've never had this happen before hey you're not supposed to be here oh god the whole army's here my whole army's dead but if you look at this points i've almost got ten thousand they're at almost eight thousand so we weren't able to capture their fortress but man did we get close but we did achieve victory in mission number eight and i'm so so freaking happy about that i still think these capitals are a little op and can be toned down they shouldn't act like trebuchets all right boys you know they're going to throw testudos i mean they're going to throw a pile so let's test tutor it up oh jeez my net worth was always crumbling because my armies got destroyed look at the level of upgrades they got i mean who are the local greeks why were they here were they really there i mean i don't even know the catapults player slayer catapult shoot the player at first yeah but we won the battle of draquium it's technically a victory it's not a perfect victory but now all we know is we should be able to do a battle here and go to dyracium and then i think can i i want to be green catapults smart target catapults shoot the winning enemy at first or they can shoot the closest target or they'll shoot at a random target all right we'll restart and see if random is random they're looking at me guys wait one no one's looking at they're looking a different direction yay oh my gosh the catapults oh thank the heavens above well anyway guys if you want to see more shield wall let me know i'll be waiting for more updates but if you want me to do any of the custom battles that are available let me know pull the trigger and like button if you did enjoy the video and i'll see you guys in the next one thanks for watching
