It doesn’t make sense to me why Christians and Muslims would even be enemies. I’m not a religious person but the two share the same fundamental, foundational doctrines. They have very similar codes of conduct and morality. Islam and Christianity are beautiful philosophies and religions, and both have sadly been corroded in part due to the wills of power-hungry political and religious leaders, and the dogmatic tendencies of those with uncritical worldviews.

Richard and Saladin the two great characters of the 3rd crusade. Despite having a high opinion of each other, never met face to face. Saladin at first did not allow Richard to meet him, probably due to anger at the massacre at Acre. And after his defeat Richard was heartbroken and refused to go to pilgrimage in Jerusalem as a loser and also to meet Saladin.

More like Charisma and Luck. Without charisma he will not be able to create favorable elements that eventually allow him to be lucky -- good and loyal brother, competing local kings that still support him just by sending letters, and sympathy that he received from his enemies which allowed him to took diplomatic action -- all comes from max CHA stats.

Saladin truly was a great and honorable man. There's a story that's told about him that when a Frankish Christian woman had her baby stolen and sold on the market, her countrymen told her to appeal to Saladin for aid. Without a second thought he bought the baby back using his own money.

His end actually feels super sad to me. The man spent all his life keeping the Muslims together, achieving great things and became a symbol for the Muslim world. Yet he became increasingly powerless and isolated in his ideology for a united Islamic state, watching in frustration as his empire crumbling apart with infighting, and ended up dying lonely and exhausted from all the deeds he had achieved.
@Yous01473 жыл бұрын
@@Secret_Moon For a muslim that's actually not a bad thing. He believes and knows that there is no perfect earth, so I imagine he was grateful for achieving the thing he did manage to achieve namely holding the already fractured states unified and established for a good while under his influence and after. For a muslim like him, it's not so much the victory and the material glory of winning that matters, that's just the icing of the cake, rather the point of it was to face those challenges and do your best facing them and then dying knowing you've spent all you could towards what you genuinely believe is a good cause. That's why you see that he also had no wealth on him as he was dying, the point of it was to spend it all while he could because in his heart there's a destination he's going to where it is his intentions and actions that will have any merit rather than his material achievements.
@Ahadun_ahd3 жыл бұрын
@@Secret_Moon Actullay no. His ultimate goal was to secure Al Quds (Jerusalem) for Muslims and he achieved that goal. And he did not die "lonely and exhausted", he died knowing that he had done for his people what no one else could have done in centuries. So yeah, he did had a good ending, lived for the cause and died for the cause. May Allah (swt) bless his righteous soul, aameen.

One thing tikle my head : in french history books, Philippe Auguste (during the start of the third crusade) got the title "King of the Francs", which is translated in French by "Rois des Francs"; and after conquering Normandy, he modifie his title to "King of the Francs" into "King of France". But on the second episode, the presentator said that Philippe Auguste was King of France in all of the third crusade. Anyway, it is a great serie. You guys are awesome ;-)

It feels like Saladin and Richard both getting sick at the same time, while their armies are both exhausted, would be written as an act of God had it happened in Biblical times. Think about it: two respected leaders fighting for what they genuinely believe to be a holy cause, brought to their knees and forced to make peace with each other in order to stop the bloodshed, sounds like something you'd hear in Sunday School.
