First Crusade: Siege of Jerusalem 1099 AD 

*"WTF"* Ad-Dwala, 1099.

>when you walk around jerusalem because you have no idea how to take it and all of the sudden ships come in with help

"The taking of Jerusalem was widely acknowledged as brutal even by medieval standards." Now that's brutal!

Raymond's priest was like "This worked for Joshua a few miles east and thousands of years ago... JERICHO ROUND TWO, BABY"

Love these videos, very easy to follow and yet incredibly informative and entertaining. Great stuff, please keep it up! Hilbert

"Trust me, I'm a ghost now"- I love those captions!

I think the timeline, "2 years after departing" is significant. Within 2 years of hardship and violence, as I think we see in many historical situations, an army is capable of much unpredictable atrocity and savagery. A soldier after 2 years of campaign has seen and endured things that make him a different man than a raw recruit

I want to play Mount and Blade again.

Jerusalem conquered, the fate of the city is in your hands: -Occupy settlement -Sack settlement -Exterminate populace < Godfrey de Bouillon, trait increase: Mean Leader: +1 Dread Courageous: +3 morale for all troops on the battlefield, +2 to general's hitpoints (the number of hits your general can take before dying) Dislikes Muslims: +1 command when fighting against Muslims Title acquired: King of Jerusalem Retinue expands: Veteran Warrior: +1 to personal security (increases the chance of foiling assassination attempts), +1 command when commanding infantry

There is no click faster than a *"BazBattles just uploaded a new video"* click.

so cool - rare that I am so keen to find out what happens next in matters of history like this - gifted storyteller

This is a VERY cool channel man! I just found it. Thank you for putting all this together. The graphics and everything look outstanding!

I was taught about the Crusade in 8th grade and i learned more from this series than i did in a year of school

That WTF moment was really funny XD

"The taking of Jerusalem was widely acknowledged as brutal even by medieval standards." Reminds me that one time Rome besieged Jerusalem. It seems every time there is a major conflict there ends up being brutal beyond belief =/

People who play Stronghold Crusader : *_The Experts_*

If I was a history teacher, I would use some of your videos in classses because they are so easy to follow, interesting and informative. Keep up the good work!

Your voice is so soothing. Great content as well, thank you.

900 years later I was born

First time watching this channel and I am impressed! Animations are great, simple so anyone can understand it yet detailed enough to keep interest, narrative focuses on important things and there are even some additional fun facts at the end, it's brilliant!

When I watch your videos, I imagine playing a grand strategy game with BazBattles graphics. Just think about how awesome that would be.

As the first video I've ever watched of this channel, I must say, great work! The animations are great and really help make this easy to understand!

no idea how i cam across your video but glad i did. you told the history of this siege beautifully. the video itself was outstanding! kept me very engaged! liked and subbed! :D

You know what is brutal? Making innocent boxes fight and break each other for no reason!

MAN watching through all of these bazbattles makes me realize how good they have gotten. great animation and attention to visual details

Damn, your channel getting better. goodjob baz

You are the best, i love your videos, so informative and easy to follow

Awesome video style, and narrative sir! Looks like a match from an strategy game. I'm sure you know how to improve even more. Keep up the good work.

Wow. The Crusaders pulled a more impressive comeback than Belgium did against Japan in the 2018 World Cup.

Awesome presentation skills.. I'm in!

Your videos are the best on RU-vid.

Great video, keep up the good work!

*By God's Will, let's f***ing GOOOO*

Antioch is my City!

Thanks for enabling subtitles.

super videos BazBattles! very easy to follow and informative. Lots of history out there you should consider doing some on wars in Asia ie* Chinese civil wars, mongol invasion and the Japanese-Russian war.

"WTF" Best quote in the history of the world

Antioch is my city

Beautifully done. I wish I learned it like that in history class.

Very well done; where were you guys when I had so much difficulty in History classes; oh, thats right, there was no internet in the 60s and early 70's; darn !

That quality content my friend

Crusaders: Let's march around Jerusalem hoping a miracle so that the wall will collapse Miracle: *2 boats full of supplies* *_Task failed successfully_*

Damn man you're good at what you're doing

A very balanced and informative documentary. Up to date to modern research. Appreciated it. Will recommend it. (I'm a historian myself).

Non Nobis Domine

You know it’s bad when your own side call you bloodthirsty killers

So helpful, i learned alot from this video.👍

wow man incredible job

Glory to the crusaders!

Thank you for these, textbooks are so boring and I love history. Please continue to do what you do because you inspire a lot of people.

thats amazing even in 2022 ;) good work

History at its finest! Thanks!

Hey, new person question. Do you only plan to do pre-modern battles, or do you plan to tackle some later stuff like Poltava(1709), Vienna(1683), or the Plains of Abraham(1759)? Love your channel!

I'm waiting for the second and the third cruisade seria

Awesome videos keep it up. Would be sick if you guys could do battles in the gunpowder era. Looking forward to more.

love the animations!

D E U S V U L T

The concept of conquest and land conquere for the crusades vs sallahudine's army is like day and night.

The exact dates,location,names of city.,kings ,little details..very impressive and great historical documentation

HAPPY 920th ANNIVERSARY PRAISE TO GOD WHO DELIVERED US THIS VICTORY DUES VULT

Very well done!

Excellent combination of content, graphics and narrations! I am getting addicted!

Gr8 Work plz keep good work up.

Great video!

Hey Buz can you do some Napoleon Bonapartas battles and years up from 1800?

Notification squad, ASSEMBLE!

I just found this channel. I like it.

HammerFall - Steel Meets Steel brought me here. Great vid!

It's amazing that a single siege tower is able to allow an army to breach a wall and get down to open the gates. One would think it's easy to defend against such a siege-ing device when you have a nice wall, fire and oil attacks and bowmen to repulse the attackers. The skill and courage of the the soldiers who fought to get over and down the wall, must have been something else. Don't mean to be macarbe, or glorify the crusaders, but i'd love to have seen what sort of dogged, determination and bravery it took to continually fight over day and night upward thru a siege tower and then breaching the top of the defended wall. What gave them the edge? armour? weapons? few warriors of unparalleled skill? better teamwork? or was it just sheer numbers? How did they accomplish what feels like should have been impossible.

6:50 Best moment in history

I love your videos! I’m a history buff myself and I’m very interested to see how you put together a battle formations and strategies. I was wondering if you ever thought of doing some Austrians and Ottoman battles. Maybe with Eugene of Savoy? The battle of Zenta? Or the battle of Petrovaradin.

Excellent videos thanks a lot ! COuld please make a video series about Hannibal wars against Rome and the fall of Carthage.. Please thanks you !

_WTF?_ Most epic line ever. :D

Those crusaders commented DEUS VULT before it was cool.

We need another one.

That slow "WTF" got me. LMAO

BazBattles What program do you use for creating the maps, units and details? Amazing vid as always :)

You're doing an amazing job.

Speech bubbles in baz battles is what makes my life worth living.

So good wish we had them in history class. Best videos

Will you do some video about Hussite wars ?
