Thermopylae , poem by Constantine Cavafy Honor to those who in the life they lead define and guard a Thermopylae. Never betraying what is right, consistent and just in all they do but showing pity also, and compassion; generous when they are rich, and when they are poor, still generous in small ways, still helping as much as they can; always speaking the truth, yet without hating those who lie. And even more honor is due to them when they foresee (as many do foresee) that in the end Ephialtis will make his appearance, that the Medes will break through after all.

[@michaelrusso9809]

This is an interesting approach to telling history. I enjoyed it, and I imagine you're still refining this series, so I have a little constructive criticism: I think it would help a lot if you ordered the units to stand ground, since watching hoplites break formation to rush at Persian infantry is a little immersion-breaking and doesn't make much sense since it nullified their actual tactical advantage. A little more narration during battles, with some background information about the hoplites, the Peloponnesian War, more quotes from the participants, etc., would be nice too, so we don't just hear Persian death screams x1000. On that note, I might also lower the game/replay speed a little since everything is happening incredibly fast, and the noise and motion is a little overwhelming. I would probably boost the health of the Persian infantry, too, since even though they were far less effective and well-trained than the hoplites, they wouldn't have been that bad, and no one in their right mind would continue to throw themselves into battle after watching their brigade take 90 percent casualties - they would probably rotate out, or fall back and attack again in waves. I would have liked to see more uncertainty and frustration in their ranks, like individual soldiers saying "screw this" and peeling off the attack. This sort of thing would be hard to get right, so I don't know if you do this alone or work with a second player, but it seems to me like having two "opponents" communicating together off camera would make this work fluidly. That being said, I subscribed, and I think this format could be a lot of fun to watch for famous battles like the Siege of Troy, the Battle of Megiddo, Yarmouk, etc.

[@historyforgamers]

Thank you very much for your extensive comment and such good suggestions Michael. You are right about the movement of the hoplites, but trying to put them in "hold position" they let the Persian units pass to the side without attacking them and it was quite strange. I guess more micromanagement would be ideal but it's hard to do it myself using 2 computers at the same time, which is how I do it. Anyway, I keep polishing and improving the videos and, over time, I'll probably redo some. I'm writing down the battles you've mentioned. Thanks again!

[@SkeletonAngel_]

First of all I would like to thank you for considering my suggestion and dedicate some time and effort for it, I really appreciate that Second Don't take this as a suggestion for a video it's just an idea and I think it will work with you why don't you make the real life battles that happened in the AoE2 campaign or scenarios In this way when somebody is searching for the campaign/scenario he will find your among the people but not as a gameplay video rather as a fun twist (for the outsider) You don't have to do the whole campaign for sure because that will be much more than an experiment but you can do the famous ones I admit part of that is inspired by "Spirit Of The Law Campaign Vs History" in which when I watch I wonder how the battles really happened (i.e John of Arc: The Siege of Paris) (i.e Saladin: The Lion And The Demon) I think you already thought about that but I said to let you know if you didn't

[@historyforgamers]

Yes, I should focus on making the battles more famous, even though they have already appeared in the game's official campaigns and that way I could reach a larger audience. That's what I'm going to do from this video. Honestly, I didn't know Spirit of the Law had these kinds of videos. When I have an idea and I start with it, I don't usually like to see that someone has already done it, I prefer to think that I am the first and that motivates me. But come on, almost everything is invented on KZbin so what I do is fool myself to stay motivated 😅. Thank you very much for your suggestion and for watching the video.

[@bobboberson2736]

the Greeks had a cultural belief at the time that ranged warfare was for cowards, the Greeks had some ranged skirmishers but not very many; it's just not how they typically fought. It might seem foolish but ancient peoples didn't see the world in the same way modern people often do. If they just hid behind the wall the Persians would climb over it and fight them on the other side at some point anyway, a line of Lacedaemonian shields was about as good as any wall. The Greeks were making good use of the choke point until the Persians went through the goat herders pass, also keep in mind this was a mountainous area by the sea, it wasn't easy to build things there especially when a massive invading army is arriving soon and you've only marched up there with your war gear and some food.

Nice video~ It does drag a little bit in parts, but not that big of a deal. I am rather interested in the half myth, half accurate version of the tale. Of course in reality, Sparta didn't want to help the rest of the Greeks and Leonidas went purely as an advisor with his bodyguard of 300. He and his men didn't really engage in much personal fighting until they were outflanked and killed. Spartan propaganda at home spun the story as a legend of sacrifice and heroism.. in reality, the scared Spartans were just caught with their pants down

[@heavenbright2342]

Controversial but I assert that Persians did not outnumber the Greeks at Thermopylae and suffered lower casualties.

[@heavenbright2342]

Ancient melee combat was not destructive and rarely, if ever, produced meaningful casualties on other side. High casualties start when one side panics, turns around to run, and gets killed from the pursuers from behind. This did not happen at Thermopylae. Instead, the combat was very low intensity between at most 100 Persians and Greeks who could realistically try to attack each other at a time, producing very low casualties. What we know from ancient battles was most soldiers just stood in place, shouted at the enemy, and cared more about not getting hit than actually fighting the enemy. The Persians overall had more men than the Greeks at Thermopylae, but most simply didn't fight. I assert the majority never even knew a battle was happening. The marching troops in the back would have just been told it was another break and rest in the campaign like any other. Finally, when the Persians got around and the Greek lines broke, they would have been the ones to cause mass casualties.

[@historyforgamers]

I certainly agree that only a small part of the great Persian army saw action at Thermopylae. Surely, the magnitude of the casualties of Xerxes was not as high as is believed, we already know that History, especially the ancient one, tends to be very benevolent with the side where the data comes from, in this case the greeks.

[@GothPaoki]

The most moderate historians put the Persian numbers to 45-50k not including several thousands of greeks who were assisting the Persians like thebans , argians etc. The greek numbere were at the most 7-11k. So it's still a big difference and that's taking into account the most moderate estimations . Yes Herodotus numbers are overblown but your assertion is completely fictional including your claim that ancient battles were not that bloody which might fit the criteria in the case of Thermopylae but it's a completely irrational argument to make if you actually have knowledge of ancient wars and battles not just in Europe but also in the east mongol - chinese - japanese wars etc
