ผมชอบมากคริปของคุณ
Would've been nice to see the Hypaspists of the Ancient Empires mod in combat. The heavy infantry combat scenes from 10:52 to 14:28 didn't have any scene of them fighting.
Wow…a GENUINE leather strap? Lost a sub there on the advert mate.
Great stuff
A deleted scene from a certain Netflix series…
@12:24 every other account of this battle that ive watched or read it was said that Alexander was so impressed by the bravery of the Greek mercenaries that he spared them. This account seems more likely to me. Why would he leave a large group of highly trained disloyal men in his wake? Sweet video. Nice job
Hello, what is the name of the game? (Thanks for your effort)
Nice video guys
1 million times better than Netflix
Stunning video as usual! For the next several videos, you should do the Battle of Kadesh (1274 B.C.E.) and Suppiluliuma vs. Tausret (non-historical) for Pharaoh, the Battle of Watling Street (61 C.E.) and Carthage vs. Royal Scythia (non-historical) for Rome II, and the Siege of Milan (452 C.E.) and Vandals vs. Picts (non-historical) for Attila. As always, keep up the awesome work👍!
η εκστρατεία ήταν πανελλήνια με διοίκηση μακεδονική!
Alexander also executed all the men of Gaza and enslaved all the women.
Which total war is used for this video?
Didnt come here to watch the watch that is almost 20% of the content.
Não demora pra trazer a batalha de isso
This channel is becoming better and better with each video, i like it good work, keep it up
Is This Rome 2 with Divide et Impera?
تو تاریخ هنوز هیچ اسنادی بدست نیامده که بگوید جنگ به چه نحوی اتفاق افتاده بعد شما طوری با جزئیات نژادپرستانه تعریف میکنی گویی یک ماه پیش جنگ انجام شده..روم یونان رو با خاک یکسان کرد ولی 700سال با ایران جنگ کرد نتوانست …تاریخ شما رو فقط خودتون بیان میکنید هیچ کس از جنگجویان یونان حرفی نزده تو تاریخ😂😂
That's a magnificent work!..Hugs.
Thanks for another great video my friend! It has been awhile and I understand that quality takes time. I hope all is well and you continue to provide much needed content to the fanbase. You were the first content creator that I watched that provided historical battle recreations. I will remain loyal and will help support that channel as well. Thanks for your time and effort and I can't wait to see what you cook up next!
Nice video! But can you do me two battles, please:
1. Battle of Ravi/Mongol Invasions of India (2 separate videos) — the Battle of Ravi takes place in 1306 CE. Do you remember the battle of Ain Jalut, that one battle where the Mongols were stopped by the Mamluks and ended their plan of conquering the Middle East? Well 😏, let's just say that the Middle East wasn't the only place in Asia they invaded. They made an invasion plan to conquer India, and to end the Delhi Sultanate in the years from 1221 CE to 1327 CE. It is one of the most iconic invasions that the Mongol Empire has ever done, especially because of Alauddin Khalji. However, the most iconic battle from these invasions of India was the Battle of Ravi in 1306 CE. This battle changed the course of the invasions of India as the Mongols don't want to invade India if Alauddin was the ruler.
2. India vs Persian/Achaemenid Empire, aka the Persian Invasions of India — Do you remember the iconic 2004 movie Alexander, the TOP-BEST favorite depiction of Alexander the Great and my pick for Best Ancient War Movie category (if there is a category called that at the Oscars), the movie that had the greatest battle scene of all time (Battle of Gaugamela)? Well, in that movie, Alexander fought both the Persian/Achaemenid Empire in Battle of Gaugamela and India in the Battle of the Hydaspes. Well, I had a thought in my head, and it's a huge one. Was there a time that the Persians battled and faced the mighty war elephants of India? Well, I did some research on this, and I found out……there ACTUALLY WAS a time when that happened. It was known as the Persian Invasions of India, a huge invasion of India made by Cyrius the Great, and later continued by Darius the Great, that lasted from 535 BCE to 323 BCE. This is literally the best thing we've ever seen out of the Persian/Achaemenid Empire and Ancient India!
And remember this; Alexander did it from horseback, no overhead cam views. On the fly.

Στο βίντεο αναφέρεται ότι είχαν απώλειες όι Έλληνες Μακεδόνες ως ΠΓΔΜ. Αυτό είναι τουλάχιστον ψευδές και παραπληροφόρηση.Ο Αλέξανδρος ήταν Έλληνας Μακεδόνας βασιλιάς και ουδεμία σχέση είχε με τά ΣΚΌΠΙΑ (ΠΓΔΜ).
