"Three victories doesn't make you a conqueror" "It's better than three defeats" Robb stark was a real badass

[@marcbartuschka6372]

As military leader he was quite good, yes. As a lord and politican he was on the other hand really dumb, since he was unable to see behind the masks of many people around him (or hear the advice of those people who had a better understanding of such things), and one time placing honor far too high and the other time far too low. The list of his mistakes is very, very long. His downfall was at least to some degree deserved.

[@El_RibsJR]

@@marcbartuschka6372 he didn't knew any better since he was raised that way he thought everyone would play honourably as did his father. But we both know tywin killed him because he was getting his ass kicked by a man who never saw battle before. Personally Rob was one of if not the most brilliant commander Westeros had ever seen

[@marcbartuschka6372]

@@El_RibsJR Well yes and no. I mean on the one hand he put the honor of Jeyne Westerling high, but on the other hand he tramples on the honor of his own word and on the honor of Lord Frey? I think that make not much sense (and let us not think too hard about what kind of guy goes to bed with a woman of a hostile family the night after he has heard from the death of his two younger brothers). And I would say he was not only the son of Eddard Stark but also of Catelyn Tully, but was far to often not to see that she did know a lot - and while the lady was not without flaws herself, she gave him more than once better advice that he ignored. I also do not think that Tywin was really that much afraid of Robb, at least after he had delt with Stannis and secured a alliance with the Tyrells. After that all Robb could hoped for was some kind of agreement, but the numbers were more and more against him. I mean at the moment Robb was killed he was already loosing the war. He was about to lead his northerners back home to drive away the Ironborn - leaving his "bannermen" in the Riverlands to the "mercy" of the Lannisters. He would be able to hold the Neck, for sure, but he must have known that there was little hope in defending anything south of the Green and Red Fork (and even that border was no longer secure). Here we also see how a curious thing Robb's "honor" was. He was proclaimed king of thr North AND the Riverlands (being half a Riverland-man himself), but always he put the interests of the North higher and was already in the process of abandoning those who had suffered the most in that war (the people in the Riverlands). I understand why he did that to a certain degree, but I think that shows that his honor is much more fragile than he himself thought.

[@Bayard1503]

@@El_RibsJR People underestimate both Ned and the Starks as whole... they became kings of the North by defeating hundreds of other lords, they were ruthless, conniving themselves. Ned was an amazing warden of the North, he wasn't underestimating anyone, he knew how to play them his own way... I don't think anyone put in his position had any chance... when basically everyone in King's Landing was his enemy. There was nobody he could rely on, nobody that was faithful to Robert. As for Robb... he was actually pretty cautious politically, what happened at The Twins is almost singular in the 8000 years of history of Westeros. It's unheard of to do something like that...

[@El_RibsJR]

@@Bayard1503 don't get me wrong the Starks are my favourite especially Robb but who in their right mind would tell the enemy their plan? That's exactly what Ned did and that's what gotten him killed in the first place much like Robb who married Jayne Westerling when he had formerly promised to marry Roslyn Frey. In short the Starks have the worst political mind but the best military one.

[@marctherrien2181]

The Game of Thrones universe is probably the one that is best for the kind of documentaries Kings and Generals usually do. It has all the components of a real conflict, from tactics and strategies on the battlefield and threatens of operations, to politics, personal interests and inclinations of rulers, and even consider the impacts of the war on the economy, and of the economy on the war. I’m looking forward to next videos detailing all phases of the war. I only wonder if the channel will stick to the books, or borrow elements from the show when we reach the later stages of the conflict.

But at the same time it seems like people with great passion having limited budget makes the shows count.

[@rightmunted7538]

It would be cool to see the battles, but the beauty of these battles in the books are how accurate to real life they are. In the show, they'd just do the classic hollywood "have the two armies run head first at each other with no organization until one runs out of troops"

[@CulinVlau]

Suggesting some corrections : - at 6:12 you misspoke when you said "their son's murder" referring to Bran. - Tyrion joined Tywin's army only at the crossroads, and by then Jaime had already won his early victories. Tyrion looks over the body of the innkeeper at the very inn where he was captured; she was brutally executed by Tywin as punishment for allowing his son's capture. - Ser Addam Marbrand is a young man, around Jaime's age, so I suggest changing his icon. - Ser Kevan Lannister is Tywin's younger and only living brother.

And one other thing Stannis didnt flee KL due to being anxious and scared because of John Aryns death,he was insulted that Robert didnt chose him as Hand of the king but instead went for Ned. A string of insults and slights from Robert had hurt him alot and this was the final straw,he knew that he couldnt do anything if he wasnt hand and even if he brought evidence to Robert he wouldnt believe him so he fled to Dragonstone.

[@revanofkorriban1505]

Additional corrections: Forley Prester led the camp east of the Red Fork. The camp whose men formed a shieldwall and fended off Robb's first charge were in the southwest camp, nestled between the Tumblestone and the Red Fork.

Robert's hunting accident was not an accident. After being threatened by Ned Stark about revealing her incestous relationship, the Queen made sure Robert was served very strong wine during the hunt, making him drunk and slowing him down, allowing the boar to wound him.

Quite a gamble to trust a wild boar to show up, charge and wound one specific person in the party. Cersei might've tried this many times in a row and got lucky this time, or it's honestly a really dumb plan if he had to die right then.

[@reaver1414]

A few things you left out. 1) the ambush in the whispering wood they sent a group of horsemen to close the valley behind the Lannister forces to prevent their retreat and the attack started with hidden bowmen firing on them. 2) you could have mentioned how Bolton put the troops of his northern rivals and strongest Stark loyalists in the Frontline during the battle and held his troops and his likely allies troops in the back where they were safe

[@parkbahce100]

Exactly. This was Roose Bolton s favorite tactics, he made sure every Stark loyalists under his command butchered throughout the war.

[@marcbartuschka6372]

@@parkbahce100 I disagree at least at this point. While Bolton was as a commander not very good, I think the defeat there was in no way planned. Furthermore in the battle Riverlanders like the Freys also suffered quite some losses, so it is hardly so that Bolton just put "loyal" northerners into the meat grinder - three "full" members of house Frey and also a bastard were captured by the Lannisters. This demonstrated, that the Frey-troops were right in the middle of the battle. It is possible that Bolton planned some of the later defeats, for example when his rearguard was crushed at the Ruby Ford just before the Red Wedding. But at this early stage he was surely not counting on or supporting a Lannister-victory.

[@parkbahce100]

@@marcbartuschka6372 Bro he literally send his neighbour lord to death, i dont remember the guys name. His widow was heirless so he could claim their lands. I dont quite remember who else died at that battle but you can check the numbers. Bolton army at the time of red wedding almost had no casualties.

[@marcbartuschka6372]

@@parkbahce100 No as far as I know he did not - at least it was never confirmed in the books that he send Lord Hornwood (I guess you mean him?) to death. In the description of the battle there are very few details. Bolton is with no doubt a opportunistic predator in any way, but that does not mean that he always follows a great masterplan from the start. I would much more think that Bolton (and his bastard) saw a chance after the death of Lord Hornwood and try to used it in their own brutal way. Yes, some people believe that Bolton planned everything from the start, but there is no proof in the books for that. And with numbers it is also difficult since we have almost none numbers about which house send how many men and how many were alive in the end. We have some rough estimates how strong the armies were, but even that goes often not into much detail (and it is even harder to tell how much the numbers were influenced by disease, desertion, additional men joining the army etc.). I think it would be far too easy to see everything what Bolton did from the end result. His plans may very well have changed over time.

[@wedgeantillies66]

With regards to two, you are confusing battle of green fork with that of the later battle of Duskendale later on where Roose, totally working against the starks at point, does exactly that to get rid of stark loyalists and allow Tryell/Lannisters toi heavily defeat stark forces there.

@@reaver1414 Bannermen is a generic term for all armed retainers sworn to a given noble (although more often a Lord Paramount such as the Starks or Lannisters). Lords Bannermen are the lords sworn to that noble, but in that phrase bannerman is used _descriptively,_ as in they are vassals who carry a lord's banners. You do not have to be a lord to be a bannerman: landed knights and masterly houses (those who are not authorised to dispense the King's Justice, such as the Glovers of Deepwood Motte) are also bannermen. It is broadly true that bannermen is used to mean vassals of note as opposed to peasant levees, mercenaries, and freeriders, but there's no reason it means to _prescriptively._ All it means to be a bannerman is to be armed and in the service of a lord.

[@Wolfeson28]

22:18 This is my one significant criticism of your channel: it would really help if you paid a bit more attention to how your battle animations line up with your narration. Here, for example, your narration correctly describes Robb Stark as attacking the *western* Lannister camp (which is the same one that just tried to send reinforcements across the river). But your animation shows the Stark forces attacking the *eastern* Lannister camp instead, which they actually never did - the eastern camp is the one with the forces that mostly withdrew safely, and the mercenaries who switched sides. This issue has shown up across your various channels. For example, quite a large number of your animations of naval battles for your main channel's Pacific War series have all the ship models sailing backwards. Honestly these aren't horrendous issues, but considering your level of professionalism with almost everything else in these videos, it seems like it should be a relatively simple matter to double-check these animations for basic stuff like which direction an attack goes or whether a ship model is facing the right way.

Game of Thrones to me is proof that well made low fantasy can be great I agree with James Tullos that too many people learned the wrong lessons from its success

Could you please do videos on the shannara chronicles I love those books and they are perfect for a channel like this

I'd love for you guys to go through the Starcraft games. Plenty of drama there, especially in Great War and Brood War.

Hey I’m new to your page as of today. Great stuff on GOT. What game or program are you using for the images we are seeing? I love it. Thanks

[@RobZombii]

Wonderdraft is an amazing fantasy map maker. I recognize a lot of the icons used in the video.

[@hesamhatami1670]

Thank for your good videos

[@kaisersnider8593]

I wonder how you guys would do like a battle of the citadel of Mass Effect because so much variations can occur because of decisions made. I would love to see it but know it wouldn't be simple.

[@stefanbodina4036]

Awesome video

[@mysteryjunkie9808]

Problem with Robb Stark he was never winning the War. Even if the Red Wedding didn’t happen and if some how beat the Lannisters. He’d still have to try to fight the Greyjoys attacking his coast and Stannis Baratheon the true King would also be coming for him. If the Vale joined him I’d say he’d have a shot. But the North and Riverlands weren’t strong enough to beat the rest of the Westeros

[@boobah5643]

Robb never had "Conquer Westeros" as an objective. His objective was to protect the North and the Riverlands, and convince the Lannisters to trade Ned back in exchange for peace. Mind, it was always going to be tricky to accomplish, because unlike the North's Neck, the Riverlands have relatively porous borders. Mind, fighting with the Greyjoys would have sucked, especially since the navy he had been building was on the wrong side of the continent and moving it was probably more difficult than building a second navy on the ocean side.

[@gfilmer7150]

If Edmure didn't attack Tywin at The Fords, Tywin would fallen for his trap. He'd attempt to beat Robb in battle where the high ground and Robb's force being entirely made of cavalry would've broken The Lannister army. Now, if Stannis tried to invade The Riverlands, Robb can easily withdraw from The West (as he was gonna try and reorganize his force to move back North) and gather all of his forces together to meet him. Robb would move more men, more experienced fighters, and the homefield advantage. Stannis' forces would already be tired after Blackwater, as Tyrion's strategy bled the front of the army. Seeing that Stannis won't allow for Northern/River Independence, Robb would have to kill Stannis which means taking King's Landing (he'd also have to take Rosby to kill "King Tommen") and once The Capital falls, Robb's bannermen may force Robb into taking The Iron Throne just as they did with forcing Robb into becoming King In The North.

[@mysteryjunkie9808]

@@gfilmer7150 yeah don’t see him beat Stannis at all.

[@gfilmer7150]

@@mysteryjunkie9808 I do, More men, better experienced, plus The Blackfish.

[@seiyajin8151]

Actually, he was, the Greyjoys weren't much of a threat, he could deal with them, and they didn't even need to go after them, as long as they took Winterfell back it would be fine. Stannis also wouldn't be a problem either, because Robb had no desire for the Iron Throne, he just wanted his family back, so Stannis didn't have his position threatened, the only problem would be the independence of the north, but that would be the least of Robb concerns, he would easily give up the crown and independence to have his family back, which would be easy to do with Stannis on the throne. And if Edmure hadn't screwed up, Stannis would have won the battle at King's Landing.

If they actually do the rumored Jon Snow show then it may as well be Season 9. Jon can't go south of the Wall without meeting Queen Sansa or King Bran. And will we call him Jon or Aegon in this? Aegon VI or VII? Rhaegar's firstborn son was also named Aegon...I can't think about this too much because nothing will make sense. HBO, please just don't.

[@Adam_okaay]

He would just be Aegon if that's what he goes by he'd have to become king to get a numeral.
