That's because some of my audience have problems understanding what I'm saying due to my accent, and average knowledge of English.

These videos are top quality and at least on the same level of bigger, more popular channels in the same genre. I would not say it is coincidence though that the 2 videos with voice acting are among the best watched so when you would use this voice actor more, I foresee more views, more subscribers and more revenue :) Consider going to Patreon e.g. ;) Another minor feedback would be to let a native speaker have a grammar check at the transcript, there are some minor mistakes that can easily be resolved :) Keep it going, I can't wait for more videos of you!

As soon as you mentioned the companion cavalry on the right flank I knew they were going to be swinging around to the back of the center. That's the "hammer and anvil" that Alexander The Great was so good at.

It's a popular misconception that they were called "Immortals" at the time, that was just what Herodotus called them and despite being the father of history he was notoriously unreliable when it came to foreign cultures. Many historians believe that Herodotus's informant mistranslated "Companions" as "Immortals" which sound very similar in Persian.

"Lighter units of hypaspists and peltasts" ? Im sorry but the Hypaspists were the king's guard how are they "lighter" than the standart phalangite ? They were the most experienced troops on the battlefield second only to the Heitaroi (which served as Alexander's mounted king's guard). The Hypaspists even formed up on the right flank of the Phalanx which was the position of honor in Greek armies. Again second only to the Heitaroi aka The Companion cavalry which formed even more to the right signaling their higher honor.

@BazBattles

7 жыл бұрын

Alexander had roughly 3,000 of hypaspists prior to Granicus battle. They had to form at least one "rectangle" on the animated battlefield. I knew that somebody will point out their "lighter" character. What I meant was that they were "light" (more nimble, agile and mobile) compared to regular Macedonian phalanx. I'll try to give them few sentences on the upcoming Battle of Gaugamela to avoid any misunderstandings. Thanks for the comment.

BazBattles As I understand Hypaspistai fought as classical hoplites in the old phalanx formation which was still compact and slow moving ... Maybe its the Peltasts you mean as lighter and more mobile since they were in essence elite assault infantry . Oh and I mean the elite peltasts which were hypaspists or agyaspides (silver shields) equiped as peltasts to serve as assault infantry ... Not to be mistaken with "regular peltasts" which were simply heavy skirmishers. And Thank YOU ! Awesome content !

My desire is to be as accurate as possible, but it's hard to avoid all mistakes, hope this didn't ruin the Issus video for you. Oh, and speaking of mistakes - it's Hetairoi, not Heitaroi :).

Terrific video!⚔️🏹

Great work! I would be delighted if you could look at some of the eastern battles. Maybe the battle of Chibi in three kingdom era?

*15 years* of continuous fights undefeated Capturing the greatest part of the then known world against *superpowers* of his time while being *vastly out numbered* and away from his central kingdom and not capable to have a sufficient line of reinforcements due to limitations of transport and economy of that time doesn't "just" make him the Greatest conqueror of antiquity but *of all time*. His dominance was not only non existed before his time but also not met an equal till the present day. We can argue that in terms of landmass he has been surpassed by other empires such as the mongolian or the english empire. Yet in all the cases we see vastly superior (technological and trained) armies with much better reinforcemt to defeat vastly weaker enemies or tribes.... (example English VS what? native indians? native americans? asian tribes? ) Alexander the Great isnt just the greatest conqueror of antiquity but the greatest of all time none has come even close to his achievements both in battle and in legacy. Legacy which quite plausibly would continue much further had he not fell ill at a young age and died because of that. While as I said we can dispute its achievements comparing landmass as if any piece of land has equal value and determine that there were bigger empires under such terms we can not dispute that the mass majority of the global population of the time was around the mediteranian and asian lands he conquered rendering *2 out of 3 people in the world* being under Greek rulership. Thats why Greek became the common spoken language of the time. Its not a coincidence that his title as "The Great" is internationally accepted and not propagated only by his countrymen (because there are a few kings called "the great" in human history but mostly this fame is limited by their own country people)

Made me realise that Alexander was kind of a dick to Parmenion. Parmenion was like almost alone on the left flank with no support and always the last one to get aid from Alexander and his forces. That is understandable because Alexander are in the far right flank and reinforce the center is more logic. Im actually suprised that Parmenion did survive all the battles :O
