The cog in gears of war is something I think would be an interesting review.

[@andybogdan4380]

The fall of Cadia is a must for many of us.

[@pimpdaddyg2081]

Oof all these pilots have been soooo good I don’t know how people are supposed to choose

[@mrstealy4242]

Do Empire of Britannia (Code Geass) for one of your faction videos please.

[@rhysulrich123]

The Fall Of Cadia Or The Battle of Macragge in the First Tyrannic War

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

If this one makes the cut you should do a video on The Fall of Cadia.

[@novice1014]

The planet broke before the guard did!

[@k9thexv630]

That was a specific battle within the 13th Black Crusade, right?

[@TheJarric]

k9 yes

[@SuperOverlord94]

Fall of Cadia? We don't have that season here.

[@Carmoth86730]

Horus Heresy (Drop Site Massacre, Istvaan III Atrocity, Burning of Prospero, Great Crusade, Calth Atrocity, Battle of Terra etc), Siege of Vraks, War of the Beast, Armageddon Wars, Plague Wars, Badab War, Unification Wars, Damocles Crusade, Sabbat Worlds Crusade etc...

[@davidkranenburg2497]

All these pilots are SOOOOOOO good. It's a shame that we can't have them all

TRUE KING OF SEVEN KINGDOMS

[@anarquia201]

The king of the giants vs a one handed blacksmith was the best simbolic methafor to this battle

[@shadowstrider8295]

Here's an interesting idea Templin Institute: Force of Arms. Plot of it: Studying the armies, navies, or any military force in fiction What do you guys think?

[@k9thexv630]

YEEEEES! YEEEEES! YEEEEES! That's an excellent idea for a spinoff. Hope they do something like that in the future.

[@rockjock3]

Echkhart's Ladder and the boys from Spacedock would probably love to collaborate on a video series like that. More than they already are with the current channel i'm guessing. I would probably make the theme of the vid series more inclusive by titling it, Force of Arms. This way you can showcase different armies/navies or fictional military forces without having to imply focusing entirely on armies alone which might get confusing.

[@shadowstrider8295]

@@rockjock3 well let me fix that up

[@rockjock3]

@@shadowstrider8295 nice!

[@TheJarric]

siege of terra , batle of hoover damm , batle of raatteen road , batle of armageddon (dredd) , last stand of gunslingers (dark tower) , siege of gotham (dark knight)

[@k9thexv630]

Isn't the Battle of Raate Road an IRL historical conflict though? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Raate_Road

[@tronmaster5704]

If High Command makes the cut, I would like to see a video about either the First Battle of Hoover Dam, or the Fall of Reach (even if I would also like to see one on the Fall of Beacon).

[@k9thexv630]

Halo, Fallout and RWBY, eh? Definitely would like to see that.

[@tronmaster5704]

@@k9thexv630 Yeah, I'm a fan of all three.

[@zacharyclark8296]

How about where I make a mod for Fallout 3 and blow up the brotherhood and make the Enclave not evil

For this night and all the nights to come!

And now their watch has ended.

[@kangthecarnivore]

HIGH COMMAND: HORUS HERESY

[@k9thexv630]

Agreed. This should definitely get an episode of High Command.

[@josephs651]

Just like this episode it would most likely have to be a single battle. Perhaps the seige of Terra?

[@tjsantiago4500]

YES!!! fuck an episode this deserves its own series

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

Oh that'd take a while. So much happens.

[@josephs651]

@@thetrustysidekick3013 Yeah, There's quite a lot that happens in the 40k universe. Fortunately it's a universe that the Templin Institute visits often.

[@blueroman5538]

I always felt bad for the wildings. Like yeah they're raiders but they were also just trying not be slaughtered by evil snow zombies

[@keegan112099]

It's a messy situation on one hand it's men women and children facing a threat that wants to kill all living things. On the other winter is fast approaching and there will not be enough food south of the wall to feed them meaning when things get messy they may go back to raiding just this time with no wall to stop them from attacking southern people

[@krimzonstriker7534]

Yea, fictional battle analysis! :D

[@theserb102]

A hard yes on High Command. Really, really enjoy this content

[@k9thexv630]

Here's a few ideas you could use for High Command. - The Third Cybertronian War from Transformers Generation 1 - The Hundred Year War from Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Clone Wars from the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy - The Second Wizarding War from Harry Potter - The Human-Covenant War from Halo - The One Year War from Mobile Suit Gundam - The Third World War from Command & Conquer: Red Alert - The Butlerian Jihad from Dune. - The Civil War from Marvel Comics - The Keyblade War from Kingdom Hearts - The Zombie War from World War Z - The Sinestro Corps War from DC Comics - The 13th Black Crusade from Warhammer 40,000 Not sure how many of these have enough footage or if some of these aren't considered wars in the traditional sense, I'm just spit-balling a few suggestions here.

[@Daimon-X]

Winter is HERE! "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

[@d.b.4671]

Should this series win the vote, some explanation of the military symbology used when presented would be helpful in the future. Just a little key guide in the corner or something.

[@k9thexv630]

That's a great suggestion. I always did wonder what those military rectangles were properly called.

[@rokg95]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Joint_Military_Symbology Try this! It is NATO standard the rectangle with an X is infantry One diagonal line is cavalry

[@yakota18]

Ones with one diagonal line is cavalry. X with a triangle at the bottom is mountain infantry.

[@kyleharrell4853]

1 diagonal line is reconnaissance, not cav. Specifically, dismounted recon, put an oval in the middle and you've got mounted recon. Though I confess that cav and recon are usually the same.

[@MSpacer]

@@kyleharrell4853 I have limited experience on the matter, but channels like historia civilis that make videos on ancient battles tend to use the diagonal line with no oval for mounted units. Maybe the usage is different for old battles because cavalry was a substantial presence on the battlefield, while it's now more important as a subset of reconnaissance.

[@alexion2001]

This new High Command thing looks amazing, more of this, please.

[@Topaz74205]

"Establish Battlefield control, standby" WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE REINFORCEMENTS (Thats a C&C Tib Sun reference)

[@CodexOfXol]

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that reference.

[@STSGingie]

Far from the only one.

[@melli7193]

Why did you have to make us choose

[@k9thexv630]

Agreed, it's moments like these where I wish these pilot weeks had an "all of the above" option on their polls.

[@АлександрКостин-ф1в]

Sounds pretty well done. Also, pretty thanks for releasing on my birthday, I love your work guys. Here is a suggestion for the future: Battle of Helm's Deep and War of the Ring.

[@k9thexv630]

More Lord of the Rings battles are always good suggestions.

[@danenagai1157]

Dammit, either Rivalries or High Command. You're making me pick a favourite child right here, TI. On the one hand, hearing conflicts of two rival factions would give insight on the grudges and old wounds of the old times. But on the other hand, hearing skirmishes and sieges through clever tactics and strategies is a welcoming addition to the Institute. If I pick one, I'll have to for the other one for god knows how long!

[@InhumanBaron]

Definitely digging this High Command pilot a lot. It feels a lot like a tactical briefing from Ace Combat. On that note, I'd love to see some wars from Ace Combat in general covered on High Command if it picks up traction.

[@c.w.simpsonproductions1230]

The strategy in the show of attacking both sides simultaneously was actually smarter in my opinion.

[@coreymicallef365]

I have a few suggestions for future High Command videos, maybe the 1st or 2nd Battle of Orb from Gundam Seed or the Battle of Astarte from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the Battles of Russan from Stsr Wars Legends, the Battle of Regis High School (from the 1991 movie Toy Soldiers), the Battles of Shiganshina (Attack on Titan) and the Replicators Invasion of the Milkyway (Stargate). That's a longer list than I really thought I'd come up with. I was trying to com up with ones that haven't been suggested.

[@lupulul]

I believe the Battle of New Mombasa, Halo, is worthy for a vote list.

[@Erevos85]

The great battles of Middle Earth, from all Ages. That's a lot of content.

[@justafaniv1097]

This really makes me want them to go back and make Stannis Baratheon: A Song of Ice and Fire version.

[@atrinoc0207]

OH my god that was amazing

[@RaidsEpicly]

Damnnn this is a really good idea for a new series. I hope it makes it through! first battle of hoover damn would be amazing!

[@gavinsmith9871]

Battle of Ilium, The Lion's Rain, Battle of Pelenor Fields, Battle of the Black Gate. should all be done.

[@sparky4405]

Really liked this new series cant wait to see more!

[@SwiftGundam]

This is obviously gonna get picked up but I am curious to know how you guys are gonna do three dimensional battles and wars?

[@TheJarric]

3d animation

[@k9thexv630]

Agreed, if the Stellaris Invicta poll is anything to go by, anything related to conflict is very popular among the Templin Institute's audience. Which I don't have a problem with mind you, since fictional warfare makes great story-telling. I just wish I could see whose leading in the poll since I don't have a patreon.

[@aurum262]

2D projection, probably.

[@kilotun8316]

Yeah, this gets my vote! Great job guys!

[@kennethbedwell5188]

This is awesome. Love this Pilot! Would love to see 1st & 2nd Battles of Macagge, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Battles of Armageddon, Helsreach

[@Carmoth86730]

Suggestions: 1) Horus Heresy (this one is a must) 2) Rapture Civil War (BioShock) 3) War in Heaven (Warhammer 40,000) 4) Infinite War (Supreme Commander)

[@STSGingie]

Establishing Battlefield Control, Standby, nice touch.

[@SectorZeroOne]

High Command has my vote!

1:41 am here, still waiting with my coffee in hand

The First Battle of Hoover Dam would make an excellent video.

[@raggedy3759]

Can’t wait for the battle of Macragge! Good work my dudes

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

This one, that way you could also describe some of the battles fought by the GTU

[@GottHammer]

the 'Battle of Amritsar Starzone', from Legend of the Galactic Heroes would be a nice battle to cover ;)

[@dwaugh2215]

for any ideas for future high commands. maybe check in the Battle of Hoth, The Last Great Time War or perhaps the Clone Wars

[@STSGingie]

Battle suggestions: Ender's Final exam, any battle from Destroyermen, Wolf 359, first and second DS9, Cardassia, The Tiberium Wars, The One Year War, Tremors.

[@cyantile5490]

Could you do a video on the Iron Legion from For Honor? Or Militaires Sans Frontieres from Metal Gear Solid please?

[@UnfortunateFreakNo1]

I hope you pick this one up. You could collab with Historia Civilis for a historical take on the strategies of battles.

[@exquisiteaquariummusic1871]

"Establishing battlefield control" No matter what context those words are used in - I can only think of C&C

[@asebeleketo1466]

Light infantry and Mountaineer? Does wilding even have different units? But a battle video like this is what i really liked

[@m17guy]

i love this pilot!

[@UGNAvalon]

“One can only speculate what might have happened had Mance Raider’s attack been successful in capturing Castle Black. With the Night’s Watch defeated, there would be little resistance against the Wildlings’ push toward the south. However, with The Others at their back, and Stannis Baratheon’s reinforcements on the way, Raider’s forces would have little opportunity for rest as the campaign raged on.” *OPERATION COMPLETE*
