yea im pretty surprised... assassins creed always proudly announced their research in history and loose adaptation but also historical facts.

Also Persians didn't have slaves, but spartans did... hell, what was i expecting of the new assassins creed when i heard it would focus on leonidas...

Maybe the spear of leonidas was his apple of eden. And gave him extra powers

[@airanator1212]

Amatheon yes there were roughly 7000 other troops from other city states, but that’s it. Leonidas historically sent those men home to sacrifice himself and his own men, however. That’s where the tale comes from. Allegedly some soldiers from the other city states stayed as well but I forget where they were from.

[@chronisthan6753]

One important thing to note is that the king or leader of the phalanx would always stand at the right side of the formation. This was a position that showed bravery. The reason for that was the fact that a hoplite wold hold his aspis (shield) on the left hand an his dory (spear) on his right, that means that if you stand at the right end of the formation you would completely expose your right hand since there would be no other hoplite on your right side in order to cover it with his own aspis.

[@TheSaintArmando]

cho tube actualy the reason why the most experienced soldiers would be places at the right side is Because a unit unconsciously move gradualy to the right, it takes alot of discipline to counter this that is why experienced units are at the right

[@chronisthan6753]

Armando Loos Ok thanks. I really have never heard about this explanation before. That's good to know.

[@TheSaintArmando]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx "Each individual hoplite carried his shield on his left arm, protecting not only himself but also the soldier to the left. This meant that the men at the extreme right of the phalanx were only half-protected. In battle, opposing phalanxes would try to exploit this weakness by attempting to overlap the enemy's right flank. It also meant that, in battle, a phalanx would tend to drift to the right (as hoplites sought to remain behind the shield of their neighbour). The most experienced hoplites were often placed on the right side of the phalanx to avoid these problems. Some groups, such as the Spartans at Nemea, tried to use this phenomenon to their advantage. In this case, the phalanx would sacrifice its left side, which typically consisted of allied troops, in an effort to overtake the enemy from the flank. It is unlikely that this strategy worked very often, as it is not mentioned frequently in ancient Greek literature.[8]" I guess we are all right

[@THEBIRDMAN9412]

Was very excited at the start of the video to see an accurately depicted Leonidas. Nice detail with Dienekes being in the game, he was an Officer and thus wore a transverse crest on his helmet to signify his rank. He is the soldier credited with the classic "Then we will have our fight in the shade" quote. All of these are good details, but I must say I am very dissapointed that Ubisoft decided to rip off 300 instead of depicting the battle in a historical context. The Spartans were accompanied by 7000 other Greeks from various different states, with which they rotated out to prevent fatigue from overwhelming the small force. Also very dissapointed they showed Leonidas throwing his shield. That is very insulting to Greeks to depict him this way. Even a King would have been shamed for this. Also, historians wrote at the time that the bodies of the Mede's after the first day of fighting were so tall that the advancing Persian forces had to climb over them to get to the Greeks, yet in the game only a few are scattered around. I understand its just a game and isnt meant to be 100% accurate but they least they could do is accurately represent many peoples heritage.

@@VRichardsn so? Then they still don't want to become slaves themselves. Our food system is dependent on farmers, do you actually want to become one?

[@VRichardsn]

No, I mean for sure they didn't want to become slaves themselves. I was thinking more from the point of view of the game developers, as to the angle they want to present. Perhaps I am overthinking this, but for the common man ancient Greece is this paragon of democracy and moral values, while it was really more of a mix. Sparta had kings and it was a particularly nasty place for slaves, unlike Persia, which appears to have outlawed slavery on religious grounds (although we so few sources about Persia that none of this is confirmed) So Assassin's Creed is just perpetuating the myth in a sense. Making Leonidas old (like he was at the time of the battle) is a nice tough, though, and tells me they did their research to a degree. Edit: _Our food system is dependent on farmers, do you actually want to become one?_ Depends. In developed countries, being a farmer is a very profitable activity.

The strange part is Spartan working together with Persian on peace treaties with Greeks city states know as The King's Peace.

[@nobblkpraetorian5623]

You know the Persian Empire isn't as bad as the Greeks say. They abolished slavery and gave their vassals semi-autonomy. Oh and also Sparta worked with Persia against Athens in the Peloponesian War.

[@lokisg3]

I forgot to add but when Leonidas said that the Persian will make them slave, I was like "dude, your Spartan nation use Helots(slaves) to produce your food and equipment". The funny part is that they more afraid with their Helots than the Persian invasion.

[@NoRegs30]

The thing is that the only written history we have about this moment in history is written by a Greek who hated the Persians and there is a lot or evidence that Persia was the most safe and populated place to live in during that time Also it was the Spartans fault that this conflict begun because... I thing it was that they decided not to be part of a peace treaty or something I’ll have to check again but it was something along those lines

[@ishmaaelbloodreaper6395]

Looks like AC made the same mistake as Zack Snyder in 300 The 300 (actually with allies it was a few thousand, but they were still way outnumbered) managed to hold of the Persian army for so long because they exploited 'force multipliers': a combination of training/discipline, use of terrain, and equipment to mitigate Persian numbers. They did not succeed as long as they did by throwing shields, fighting several enemies single-handedly, or even 'slow-mo sword twirling' that the movie loved to shit out. Don't get me wrong, seeing stuff like that is cool in the movies and video games, but for once I would love to see a proper command of a unit, and actual demonstrations of strategy and tactics. Hollywood bullshit is, well, feeding us bullshit.

Bro they never even formed a phalanx..... They were in a roman transport formation....

[@Mezha07]

From what i learned of spartan battle formations and tactics All three parts of the body extension was important the shield represent the ability to not only protect oneself but his brother beside him if you are unable to use your shield then you are unable to protect your brother, the spear an extension of your arm to avoid breaking the phlanax formation in tight combat and the sword for when you are unable to use your spear the sword shall be used as a replacement, ofcourse if there's anything i've ever learned in historical combat any army that utilizes a shielded vanguard formation of any kind is deemed strong and should be feared in combat for out of all the fighting style i learned about, a combat style that utilizes the shield in any way is deemed more superior than most combat style aside from gladiator combat which is a complete free style of moves which is more of moving to your survival than moving to kill someone, a vanguard and rearguard will be deemed useless if it cannot protect itself in anyways just look at the past battles that didnt use shields as vanguards they got literally ripped apart by a frontal attack

@@stepienmaximilian They could've just called this a new ip instead of leeching off the AC name, tainting it forever now. That way, they can fully commit to making an amazing Spartan game. Not some half assed Greek game with Assassins Creed elements trying to cling onto this game, holding it back from its true potential. I don't want assassins in a Spartan game. Either go all the way, or don't go at all. Ubisoft has just completely derailed at this point, lmao.

Yes!!!! And also it is a castle under the regime of a mad man who wants a magical apple to control the world; it’s a Venetian man fighting the pope and his family for another magical apple; it’s alternate timeline where presidents become kings and has the ability of morphing into animals; it’s earthquakes beings caused by spiky things; it has always been weird

I understand why people are complaining about the fake and fictional parts of during this historical event in Greek history. However people are right about this, who knows 100 years from now , people will say oh the movie 300 told everything about the battle of Thermopylae, or how this game picked on how King Leonidas threw his shield like captain America. Who knows..... ignorant people will believe this or even young kids will be believing every little detail about this too. History gets “re written” every time and it screws us sometimes. I’m not complaining because ik it’s just a assassins creed game and ik all others that are complaining are too. But if this keeps going on , even Hollywood related or video game or even historical tv shows. People will think back the past 80+ or so years and agree to disagree what’s real and what’s fake or what’s forgotten/re written fictional history.

[@aikaterinikatsakiori3907]

You know original Leonidas didnt even said this is Sparta he said Μολων λαβε (molon lave) can be translated if you have courage come and take them so yes Hollywood twist our history everyone now knows the this is Sparta

[@Plzcheese]

Spartans weren’t actually warrior hungry and meatheads. They were super smart and believed in bettering themselves in every way, physically and mentally. They studied so much they rivaled the Athenians in regards of knowledge. Etiquette was a important as fighting. They knew how to dance and be perfect gentlemen. They had a simple government system that was literally community ran and required spartan citizens to attend. Their “slaves” were treated so well that slaves from surrounding nations ran to their borders to be taken in as their slaves. They did not sacrifice kids that were defective. It was a exaggerated “monster under the bed” to scare motivation into their offspring. They didn’t believe in indulging in luxuries of the world but in efficiency And finally they fought together, there was never a lone spartan warrior. Phalanx formation for life. They literally were Europe’s samurai. If you don’t agree I’m willing to dispute my claims.

LMAO I like Spartans but stop with the bullshit. They were brutal savages who were thoroughly brainwashed and institutionalized to serve in the Spartan war machine. Their final test prior to becoming a soldier was to murder an innocent Helot (slave farmers who outnumbered Spartan citizens 10 to 1) without being caught.
