CivilizationEx For How Long Are You Going To Keep Doing Game Of Thrones Videos

[@CivilizationEx]

Forever pretty much, lol, until the books are all finished and everything is explained.

[@rajc2257]

CivilizationEx u should do fan fiction. U should make better and more descriptive depictionions of eastern essos

[@Brandonhayhew]

@@CivilizationEx Thank you for making Volantis. Do you think volantis is like Constantinople of East Roman.

[@franciscomm7675]

@@CivilizationEx with the release of fire and blood, will you continue to do more videos about the new information?

[@olavops1000]

Valyria is Rome, with it's mighty Empire long gone. Volantis is COnstatinople, once the true sucessor and center of the world, now decadent and fading. Braavos is Venice, growing and prosperous, looking to trade where Volantis looks only to subjugate.

[@Brandonhayhew]

Wonder what the future of Volantis holds? Constantinople was taken by Ottoman Empire, will Volantis collapses on its own, or will it be conquered by another foreigners?

[@ManoCraftas3]

Then what is Quarth?

[@vit968]

*I see Valyria as the Alexandrian Empire and Volantis as Republican Rome with it's admiration of Valyrian culture and its strong republican/triarch tradition and rejection of kings and triarchs-for-life.*

[@hasifbinsaeed1055]

@@ManoCraftas3 maybe Baghdad🤷

[@BronzetheGolden]

@@ManoCraftas3 Qarth is Baghdad. Strong and fortified and Wealthy and Ancient

[@adamfigueroa1063]

Wow, this video was loaded with so much information that was unknown to me. Great work Civil Ex!!

[@Brandonhayhew]

Volantis, The Constantinople of Eastern Romans of ASOIAF version.

[@headhunterreborn]

only in the west

[@headhunterreborn]

@@Brandonhayhew all i am saying is that it was west of valyria chill

[@rolandorodriguez4504]

Except there weren't slaves on Constantinople

[@Brandonhayhew]

@@rolandorodriguez4504 They did had slaves but later more free people and they enslaved Muslims or held them for ransom?

[@demetriosavdalis5574]

@@Brandonhayhew yeah nah

[@marjoe32]

The quantity of good content and the pace you put it out is breathtaking

[@madambutterfly1997]

Technically Volantis isn't truly suffering loses from Dany's conquest of slavers Bay. Especially if they have other forms of economy that bring just as much if not more income than slavery

[@TheOtario007]

Well, technically now they would have a monopoly (or closer to it) in the slave trade, so they might even be richer. They probably went to war because they were afraid of what a person with the power of the ghiscary cities + 3 dragons + unsullied could do to them since she already broke slavery in one place (they are on the path to Westeros).

[@Queensage77]

Another great video, this is why I love this channel

[@kekero540]

Volantis is basically the Byzantine empire of Planetos

[@rodom303]

You have done your realm a great service.

[@hansolo4017]

Yet. Other outstanding video keep up the good work

[@xjdjaws]

So basically Volantis is Byzantium I like it

[@abthedragon4921]

Oh good Volantis. Could you do Myr or maybe Qohor next?

[@donwilli]

I am triarch for life. Come at me Dany. #SaltKing #AsaltAhai #MyNameIsMyName

[@CMAzeriah]

After the night king is destroyed and the last bastions of magic finally begin to fade from the world, a black powdery substance that burns hotter than even wildfire is discovered at the citadel in old town and a new age begins

[@Brandonhayhew]

Gunpowder and age of discovery that would later lead to the Renaissance Westeros. After Winter apocalypse, many people migration to cities.

[@headhunterreborn]

no it would be better if magic had an outburst and mages became more common throughout west essos and westeros and a new magical age begins following the death of night's king

[@Brandonhayhew]

@@headhunterreborn Martin has no planning of sequel but that is just IMO. Prequels a lot of them in the spinoff.

[@headhunterreborn]

@@Brandonhayhew but surely the army of the dead is like the black plague and would damage westeros thus it would not make sense if they suddenly got their hands on a substance like blackpowder also guns and the like would just ruin asoiaf

[@Brandonhayhew]

@@headhunterreborn IRL gunpowder first came from China, it was invented to drive out Mongolian rule of China, Then it went to middle east, later to late 14th century of Europe. In mid 15th century, the invention of rifles and new navel fleet technology navigations and Christopher Columbus discovery. A sequel should take place, a century after the apocalypse winter.

[@madambutterfly1997]

Shouldn't having the Valyrian features be proof enough?

[@adamfigueroa1063]

Hasan Wilson I’d bet that using the features of old Valyrians is exactly how they proved their blood lineage.

[@Brandonhayhew]

They also probably had to do inbreeding cousin marrying cousins. Or buy a wife from Lys, with Valyrian origins.

[@TheRedname]

There are many noble houses in Westeros descended from Valyria who do not have the common features. The Baratheons, for one.

[@Brandonhayhew]

@@TheRedname Because they don't do inbreeding like the Targaryen who are serious about pure bloodlines Valyrian, and so does the Volantis tiger party family. Even Lys Valyrian blood in its people.

[@TheRedname]

@@Brandonhayhew I know. But the point is there are many who are of Valyrian descent that, if they want to become a triarch, must prove it in other ways.

[@marcostargaryen4181]

I hope Daenerys will take volantis in the books

[@bigoof8391]

Volantis declares war on Meeren so ya

[@lillypharaoh5945]

Doesn't that mean that there may be people in volantis with dragon blood more powerful than targeryan blood (the 39 other houses with more dragon power than house targeryan which was a minor house)

Gotta give it to Volantis they did try

[@pyeitme508]

WISH THE LAST SHIP IS GOING BE INSIDE YOUR VIDEOS!

[@RizaLazar]

Thors origin

[@juanjosesilvero5750]

Dany, please don't destroy the Largest City to the west of the Bone Mountains🙏 seriously, idk why but I want Volantis survive and even regain some or all the power them had as some kind of Capital of East for the Targaryens... wait a second-

[@Xerxes2005]

So, basically Volantis is the Roman Republic.

[@Xerxes2005]

@@hagrid1123 Why no? The Triarchy elected each year is similar to the two consuls of Rome. The requirement of being of "the blood of Valyria" reminds me of the requirement of being a Patrician to be in the Senate in Rome. The Tigers and Elephants could be like the Optimates and the Populares. The dragonstone wall makes me think of the pomerium. The division in Western and Eastern Volantis on each side of the Rhoyne is like the Transtiberim (Trastevere). You could even say that it is similar to the division between the Patricians and the Plebe.

[@Brandonhayhew]

If you want a Volantis world come to life then study Roman Republic and eastern Roman's way life and politics.

[@TheStanFTW]

Did the Rhoynar use slaves?

[@suumcuique4530]

The political parties of Volantis kind of resemble US parties. The Elephants being Democrats and the Tigers being Republicans. Or the other way around if you will.

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Volantis made a mistake, one they will regret. 🔥🔥🔥🐲🐲🐲🔥🔥🔥
