@@stretchchris1 Hey I dislike their ads too but to make quality content you need money. So I deal with it.

[@Stickyrolls123]

@@IPendragonI This. Fucking edgelords acting like content creators should work for nothing.

[@HistoryMarche]

@@IPendragonI Thanks for understanding. Firstly, I personally like the game and really don't see what the fuss is about, although I play casually. Secondly, as you mentioned, making these videos is a full time job, with 150-200 work hours going into each video - I work 10 to 15 hour days with barely any days off. It's a job that I love doing, but a full time job nonetheless, and everything from music licenses, books, software, various subscriptions for texts, artwork, sound effects, different graphics, as well as paid artwork, etc. all cost money, and on top of that I got a family to feed. Thirdly, if anyone hates the ads that much, instead of complaining about free content they can actually help support the channel with as little as $1 per month and watch my videos ads-free on Patreon.

Its been reported that after hearing news of Uesagi Kenshin's death, Oda Nobunaga announced in triumph: "The empire is now mine".

[@andychang5888]

Oda and Tokugawa are very accomplished and legendary generals in their own right, in their battle strategy and empire administrative. During the rise to his power, Oda once defeated armies over 10 times his own by attacking in the night. Kenshin is legendary in his ways of war, the bulwark to Oda’s goal.

[@achmadtitofauzan3809]

[@leth3143]

How could anyone forget about a battle where God of war used the power of a river to crush his enemies.

[@charlesransom4546]

Credit to Kenshin using everything to his advantage. Even more credit to Oda Nobunaga deciding to bite the bullet and retreat with most of his army intact rather than doubling down on a losing situation and losing the rest of his army.

[@NoyNoy-xb8td]

Even more so when we know that Takeda katsuyori did the exact opposite and lost his army in the battle of nagashino. The finest calvary in the empire. Just commit more man to volley of fire gave away the mobility of horseman even though the first charge proved ineffective.

[@anathardayaldar]

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em

[@rockgamiasedes677]

Uesugi Kenshin and takeda Shingen were the masters of their games. The tactical genius of these two was unfathomable. Their 10 years long clash of sieges and counter sieges and maneuvers against each other were beyond brilliant. Honestly speaking by sheer tactical genius there were none at the time to counter them except each other. This battle was the only time Oda Nobunaga went against one of them and the result was apparent. I would call him extremely lucky that both of these generals passed away before any of them could move against him and was succeeded by idiots.

@@hannibalburgers477 I prefer Nobunaga’s Ambition. Uesugi always has an easy playthrough if Kenshin is the daimyo

[@DavidSaintloth]

That decoy maneuver was straight brilliant.

[@nomooon]

It speaks volumes that Uesugi Kenshin only allied Takeda after their crushing defeat at Nagashino. It shows that Kenshin did not expect Takeda to get crushed so easily. Seeing how he handled Oda here, shows that he thought Takeda could've at least stalemated the Oda-Tokugawa alliance.

[@roberthicks6527]

The poem that Kenshin wrote at the end was so beautiful, "Year in year out all but a dream" gave me goosebumps.

[@kshetushthegreatdragon1709]

i wonder if Japan could've been united if Kenshin and Shingen lives werent taken away by disease. Nobunaga was so lucky in this regard)

[@TorahScholar]

I don’t think Kenshin had the ambition for unification like Nobunaga did. He was still loyal to the shogun. He probably was more concerned about just protecting his province

@Noujoud Beauty why are you replying that on every comment?

[@vkaivos]

Im pretty sure night attacks are pretty normal

[@YMZaki]

@@vkaivos I'm pretty sure Uesugi Kenshin didn't attack at night on both Kawanakajima and Tedorigawa. He did use the night to his advantage, but he didn't attack at night, and that's what makes him unique. On Kawanakajima, he used the night as a cover to move his army from the mountain to the plains. On Tedorigawa, he used the night as a reverse psychology at Oda by sending a small number of his army to the flank in order to make the enemy think that they were launching a night attack on them. Pretty genius in my opinion.

[@1987MartinT]

@@HistoryMarche I'd like to see one about Raimondo Montecuccoli. He's one of my favorite 17th century commanders. He was one of the few people who could on equal terms with Condé and Turenne. So while the French under Louis XIV were immensely powerful their efforts were often hampered by Montecuccoli's actions. Eugene of Savoy is also an awe-inspiring leader. His teamwork with Marlborough during the War of Spanish Succession, while ultimately unsuccessful, helped put a stop to nearly half a century of French expansion. And Eugene's victories in Italy are amazing. At the end of the day I think it's a shame that both these men go unremembered. They changed history.

Uesugi's battle plan is a masterpiece. The decoy served its purpose brilliantly and a too eager Oda Nobunaga felt into a perfectly planned and executed trap. I do wonder what would have happened if Uesugi and Takeda would have attacked Oda Nobunaga.

[@Lightingwarrior]

Odds are Nobunaga would have been pushed to the brink as together the Takeda and the Uesugi would have proven to be a formable force for him, even with Takeda in its weaken state and if they had united and attacked it is likely other enemies of Oda would have rallied to them and attacked, putting him in a difficult situation. However had Kenshin lived and if Shingen had still been alive and they had united their forces, those two together would have steamrolled Nobunaga without question

[@romelnegut2005]

[@shadownight9956]

I really, really like this one. Great lateral thinking by Uesugi, to use 'living' battlefield like that in order to sidestep his tactical weakness (not to mention Oda's advantage) and snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat - and, presumably, inspire Tolkien to apply similar terraneous trickery while dispatching the Nazgul =)) Very moving ending also, truly life passes swiftly, and increasingly feels like a dream..
