First Crusade: Battle of Ascalon 1099 AD 

Try HOI4, you will see a lot of boxes their fighting - with a mod of course.

How short- sighted of you......

You sir, are funny

Same. I jerk to it, On the real

@@TheOtakuPrince What mod?

Heard of Alexander he steamrolled Persians twice while being outnumbered 5:1

@Padraig mallon And i thought the Irish were at least somewhat progressive :)

@Padraig mallon Are you just a 12 year old trying to be edgy? Padraig Mallon is an Irish name. Maybe you're just a lowlife piece of shit who happens to have an Irish name. My mistake, asshole.

Balls of steel

Killing civilians unlike salladin

Wololo

Dan Boud Yeahh! My brother taught me that one AOE 2 day. I was like "WTF !". Another classic is when fog of war was off, look for dead sheep and most likely their town center/mill was there.

Dan Boud Livestock spies were widely used during those days.

Dan Boud Very true

Here

Unfortunately History will not see it that way.

@@mysteryjunkie9808 True, Saladin and his 30,000 soldiers at Hattin will decisively check 20,000 Crusaders.

@@Holybatman3603 Member of peaceful community in hattin the crusaders were already broken with hunger and thirst and were outnumbered just read about battle of montisgarad Acre Jaffa Antioch and Doryalam and the Seige of Jerusalem Crusaders were out outnumbered still they kicked Saracen butts

@@Holybatman3603 88 years later

Perhaps

Gordon Ramsey cooked them all so yes they did reach elite status.

Thank you for this comment, sir.

@@lauralil6886 haha

What was happened when Saladin invaded it?

And the muslim commanders were not prepared to face new european tactics, in particular the use of knights. When the muslims invaded Spain and attempted to invade France, they were the ones using heavy cavalery and the europeans were on foot. It's funny to note that frankish knighthood can be traced back to Charles Martell who gave his best soldiers land and they in return had to raise at least one war horse and swear to come to their lord's aid if he calls for them. Centuries after his death Good guy Charles did it again!

TwoFistsOneHalleluja exactly.

Darkavenger_13 to be fair, the Norman forces were comparatively pretty badass at this time. Basically 2nd gen Vikings, who had grown up under intense Christian dogma, but who also retained that savage lust for blood and glory.

@@TwoFistsOneHalleluja Then the Spanish and Portuguese kicked muslims out of Iberia with their mighty cavalary and gruesome tactics :D

@@dionysus1917 only "2nd gen" after 2 centuries and a half spent within a more numerous local population in Normandy? After intermarrying with locals from day one? They had more frankish blood than viking blood at this point, including the ruling cast.

your both channels are really on the top of top .. keep the good work guys

Agreed, Nurrrik's video yesterday on Salamis was awesome, now this from Baz. Fantastic, love it, keep them coming! Huge respect both.

Both channels are amazing

gud channel

...not to mention he showed initiative yet again this time; seeing how he also seemed to have some principles, it's probably enough to be a decent MVP contender.

I feel that if a tv show was made about the first crusade and the adventures of the crusader lords, Tancred would be the best character, i envision him as similar to Titus Pullo from Rome

Exactly

Fakeslimshady Like, you know we are talking of invaders? Do you?

At least they have been consistent with the infighting during this campaign.

Catapulting cows heh

Yes, it was actually quite a common practice in Europe to hurl them into enemy formations using siege catapults. Haven't you ever watched Monty Python???

they're called force multipliers which make good eating

"This one's for your mother!"

They also used the cows as defence against the hindu's

This made me angry, who forgets to promote his/her animals?

RAJU PEDDADA I think you missed the joke

They had a trade alliance with Byzantium empire. It's better for them to compromise.

It was not strange for the Fatimid to attempt to ally with the Crusaders, since the Fatimid saw the Seljuk Turks as their main opponent and not the European Christians. As noted in the video, the Fatimid rulers were Shi'a while the Seljuk were Sunnis hence their hostility toward each other. Moreover, again as repeatedly mentioned throughout the series, the Fatimid and Seljuk constantly underestimated the Crusaders thus failing to organize effective resistance against them. Saladin realized his predecessors' mistake and concentrated in solidifying his control over Egypt, Syria, and Iraq to gather enough resources and men to re-take most of Levant from the Latins.

what why? this still going on today, with USA allied with Saudi Arabia etc.

They probably should've at least temporarily allied themselves against the turks who were the common enemy and ultimately fucked both Arabs and Europeans for centuries. Oh well, history sees that happen a lot with a third party that appears out of nowhere to conquer everyone in sight.

@Moeshaak Shakur Oink Oink

RUN BACK TO ROME. I'LL HAVE YER HEAD ON A SPIKE.

THIS DUMB HIGHBORNE LAD THOUGHT HE COULD END THE CRUSADE WITH A SINGLE SWING OF HIS SWORD

@@danboud8135 More likely a GW1 reference (except if you're a ghost) 😉

This time , prince rurik stayed with his party

I see you're a woman of culture as well.

You have a good point. I will now donate to BAZ as no one is more deserving! Amazing content and visuals.

Was thinking the same man.

DEUS VULT

IN SHA ALLAH

Radegast it doesn't. Deus vult means "God wills it" which is inferring to doing what God wanted, and Allahu akbar means "God is great" meaning that God is the greatest, not trying to be rude but just stating facts

Sure! That is, until the Great Monarch and Our Lady of Fatima arrives on the scene as precised for over 15 century's.

Nice profile pic!

Benjamin Foolish dog

what is "die in a hole fagg"

That was probably what the scout said when he was captured.

@SyncKo thats impossible to trace he's full of shit

They really should since The Mongols and The Crusaders crossed paths eventually after this period. Albeit towards the end of the Frankish presence in the middle east.

If only they'd had given back the towns to Alexios, and/or taken Ascalon... The rebirth of a new mighty Roman Empire... (sigh in disapointed nostalgia)

Ayohohohoho.

So many AOE fans here. =D still can play it on voobly

Total Syambles I was an aoe fan but I don't get the reference

The monks in the first AoE go WOLOLOLO.

Total Syambles hahahaha why

The wololo priest was originally AoE1, but got reintroduced with african kingdoms for AoE2

There's still a great community on twitch

Yeah i noticed it too but no one cares. These videos are amazing! Keep em comin

Yes, but I think had they seen my comment they might want to fix it regardless.

It was his own fault. He should have accepted the kingship and then he would have been able to accept the surrender of the Muslim city without question. Maybe that would have been enough to tip the scale when the Muslims invaded again.

Faceless Man but godfrey was also sort of a dick

Well, that's why Raymond should have accepted the position instead of playing the piety card. Was he expecting the city to rule itself?

Ante Ćubelić That’s something Godfrey of bouillon said when refusing to take the title of king, not Raymond

none of the land, but i'm sure he wasn't terribly unhappy about his share of the loot.
