I'm not familiar with English translation of the Sapkowski's books, but I read orginal version more than a few times. You make huge mistakes in the description of the battle of Brenna. According to your point of view Coehoorn was an idiot, but in fact he was not. The Nodlings right flank was ordered to support centre, not to withdraw, due to the fact that Alba Divison was a great challenge and there was a huge risk of collapsing centre as well as the left flank. The allies formation was very close to disintegration and there were huge breaks between allies centre and flankss. Elves attacked through those holes on the rear area of the Nordlings. Alba was still fighting durings Scoia'tael charge. The Nilfgard right didn't manouver like you described. During Redanians charge part of them still fought with the Nordlings left flank units. They were strong enough to use part of the force to stop/delay Redanians attack. When Coehoorn decided to use his reserve there was still fight on whole battleground and there were no clear victor. Btw Foltest reserve infantry was conscripted, but they were trained pikemen with high morale.

Considering shit that has been happening in norther realms I always viewed nilfgaard an tolerant empire under which people loyal to it can thrive and prosper in peace regardless of their identity ideology and race. Hence why I went full nilfgaard on w3 getting this exact same ending. Why suffer for the simpelton idea of "freedom" when you can indeed submit but perhaps live a more free life under a single empire.

Would you mind making a full series on the Song of Ice and Fire? First one or two episodes could be about the Dawn Age, then the Age of Heroes, with the rise of House Stark, their wars with the Boltons, the unification of the North, the rise of the Lannisters from Lann the Clever, the wars of the Storm Kings of House Durrandon and Kings of the Reach of House Gardener. Then the Coming of the Andals, a remake of Aegon's Conquest?, The Dance of the Dragons and the Blackfyre Rebellions and Robert's rebellion, until perhaps considering remaking the War of the Five Kings? @Wizards and Warriors

There you go, Witcher and Dragon Age as case studies.

I feel like this series understands the nuances of geopolitics, especially with magic involved, better than 95% of fantasy. A lot of people focus too much on the petty squabbles instead of real world analogues for why cultures overtake or consume one another. It's pretty simple: if you have the money and/or military infrastructure you dictate your own terms, and similar sized polities constantly work with and against one another to gain any advantage.

@@alejandromaldonado6159 I meant that I'd change that. It never made any sense for Dijkstra to expect Geralt to stand aside and let his friends die. And after their first violent confrontation in the books there is no chance in hell Dijkstra would risk fighting Geralt in person (and only bring like 10 men). CDPR were crunching the last parts of the game so the ending of that questline never made any sense. So I'd do a version where Dijkstra waits for Geralt to separate from Roche, Thaler and Ves and only then sends assassins after them, and not Geralt. That way he doesn't put a very angry Witcher on another kingslaying mission. By the time Geralt found out Dijkstra would be in Tretegor surrounded by an army.

1:10:12 As for this part, I think that the most "canon" version is Geralt saving Triss and Roche saving Anais, but without Geralt he's always too late to make it to the summit and affect the fate of Temeria. In this scenario, Vernon will choose to become the guardian of Anais instead, hiding her in the countryside until the end of chaos. This would explain the meager resistance of Temerian Army during the Third War - its nobles lacked the unifying symbol to rally around.

Am i the only one who's feeling how EERILY similar the Nilfgaardian Wars are to the Ottoman Empire's incursions into Eastern Europe are? All this bickering and back and forth between the Northern Kingdoms, Nilfgaard attempting to play all sides against each other, it's uncanny how similar it is to how the Ottoman sultans tried for decades to bring down the kingdoms and principalities of Transylvania, Moldavia, Wallachia, and Hungary in order to get to the rest of Europe.

The same kinda happend in the last book, he cornered Geralt, Ciri, and Yen after they had beaten Vilgefortz, then ordered Geralt and Yen to chose between death by his soldiers or mutual suicide all the while planning to imprison/marry Ciri. A few suspenseful moments and a bit of soul-searching later, he changed his mind and let them go.

@Gr8sc0tt This is why I always had a soft spot for Nilfgaard, though the slavery is still not cool. Or the elitism of those born in the heartland to the conquered provinces. If the empire could iron out those issues they'd make the northern kingdom look like savages.

Like the fact that you described Nilfgaardian victory in the third war. It was always canon for me. Not even because it is better but because Redanian victory seems very unrealistic in the given circumstances.

Love the video, I respect the freestyle ending, however, personally I've always found the Ciri Empress ending the least logical one, given her story, but again, the Witcher universe often leaves endings open for imagination so props to u :D

scoia'tael are called squirrels because they would tie squirrels tails to their caps it's literally said in "Blood of Elves." I don't know where the climbing trees and eating nuts came from, but that's not canon.
