Nilfgaardian Wars - Witcher Battle Lore DOCUMENTARY 

RU-vid algorithm kinda dislikes us right now, but you can turn this around by liking, commenting and sharing. Please, do that. :-)

Just wanna say how hilarious "Lesbomancy" is 🤣. Great video by the way, keep making more!

48:45 "the poor ******* infantry filled in the gap" hahahha I had to replay that I heard that right

There is so much lore you can work with, the battle of brenna alone deserves a videos on its own

Sending this to my boys making a Witcher tabletop RPG right now

Can you cover the life story of Geralt of Rivia in your version? I like your narrating style. It is bingeable and better than Netflix.

Extremely well made. This is less a history of the Nilfaardian wars and more a history of the entire Witcher universe. I haven't seen any witcher lore video that comes close.

Wow, that was monumental. You treated the work with the love it deserves.

Philippa Eilhart wad responsible for killing king Vizimir, not Vilgefortz. The Order of the Flaming Rose was Established by none other than Sigismund Dijkstra, as stated by Ori Reuven (who hides as a bootblack) in Witcher 1.

I'm not familiar with English translation of the Sapkowski's books, but I read orginal version more than a few times. You make huge mistakes in the description of the battle of Brenna. According to your point of view Coehoorn was an idiot, but in fact he was not. The Nodlings right flank was ordered to support centre, not to withdraw, due to the fact that Alba Divison was a great challenge and there was a huge risk of collapsing centre as well as the left flank. The allies formation was very close to disintegration and there were huge breaks between allies centre and flankss. Elves attacked through those holes on the rear area of the Nordlings. Alba was still fighting durings Scoia'tael charge. The Nilfgard right didn't manouver like you described. During Redanians charge part of them still fought with the Nordlings left flank units. They were strong enough to use part of the force to stop/delay Redanians attack. When Coehoorn decided to use his reserve there was still fight on whole battleground and there were no clear victor. Btw Foltest reserve infantry was conscripted, but they were trained pikemen with high morale.

Just started playing witcher 3 for the first time. This will help me keep up with the lore behind the wars. THANKS.

Anyone else hear “The poor fxcking infantry” at 48:45 XD

Nilfgaard is the second most competent evil empire in fiction I’ve ever seen in my life…

Looking forward to the first age of middle earth and the many extraordinary battles and duals that took place within it. “Unnumbered Tears” will be truly the most interesting and heartbreaking to cover. Thanks Wizards 👍

I CANNOT believe I just barely discovered this channel!!! WOW! BIIIIIINGEING TIIIIIIME!!!!!!!!🥳🤯

WHAT????!!! The RU-vid Algorithm doesn't like you??? Screw that!!! This channel is awesome!!! Keep doing what you are doing. I love your channel. The content is right on and I want to see more and so does my good friend and my cousin.

After an hour listening to this, I understand why people are up in arms against Netflix.

1:20:20 Absolutely lost it there ahahaha

I have to say bravo to the entire wizards and warriors team! You have secured my vote as the undisputed #1 greatest RU-vid channel in existence!! I love the long, detailed videos. Phenomenal job guys & gals!

I just realized that Emhyr wanted to marry HIS OWN DAUGHTER. Also, Gerald and Din Djarin have a lot in common. Both try desperatly NOT to be the the main characters in their respective stories.

My lawd this was an awesome video! Also in praise of CDPR, I was able to remember each of these events taking place across the various witcher games (1-3) and spinoffs like Thronebreaker.

Would you mind making a full series on the Song of Ice and Fire? First one or two episodes could be about the Dawn Age, then the Age of Heroes, with the rise of House Stark, their wars with the Boltons, the unification of the North, the rise of the Lannisters from Lann the Clever, the wars of the Storm Kings of House Durrandon and Kings of the Reach of House Gardener. Then the Coming of the Andals, a remake of Aegon's Conquest?, The Dance of the Dragons and the Blackfyre Rebellions and Robert's rebellion, until perhaps considering remaking the War of the Five Kings? @Wizards and Warriors

When i finished playing Witcher 3 I would always wonder how much the world would change. This scenario is the best ending for me. GREAT JOB

It's nice having all the videos condensed. Thanks for another great upload :3

Looking forward to the Milfgarden Wars. Fought predominantly in beds.

1:26:41 This is when making this kind of videos on videogames with multiple endings kinda suck massive PP. I for one liked my boy Sigi and let him continue with his plans for the north. It was actually kinda cool how intense you narrated that part since i was very curious on what the outcome will be.

just commenting to battle the slow descent of youtube algorithm into madness. long live Wizards & Warriors

awesome content as always , loving your venture into fantasy /fictional wars and battles

"Which is the bigger number? five 🖐or one ✊? One army, a real army united behind one leader with one purpose."

This was excellent! Thank you so much for putting it together and with detailed maps battle animations.

This detailed the events of the Witcher show far better than the Witcher show did

The "Pam pam pa ram" reference had me. Take my like.

Scoia'tael always have a special place in my memories. Mostly becouse in Italian it's easy to associate them with squirrels! "Scoiattolo" is the italian word for Squirrel :D

Hi, I'm cadet Puttkammer from the imperial war academy of Nilfgaard, thanks you for your video!

PHENOMENAL WORK!!! More Witcher lore please!! 🙏🏼

I have thoroughly enjoyed the first 53 minutes of your video. I can hardly wait to finish it tomorrow. Ty W&W!

High quality content. Great work! I look forward to many more videos from you and your team.

Really enjoy your videos bud! Keep up the good work and please don’t stop..

Love this type of videos.. already a huge fan of Kings and Generals

Wow…thank you for the backfilling of the story.

What an amazing channel. Many thanks for these lore videos.

Really great, i love the maps and battles!

Witcher lore is probably my second favourite after LOTR. You guys did a phenomenal job

Love your work bro keep up the great work! ✊🏽

Finally another Witcher! Keep it up please!

Nilfgaard winning is truly the best outcome.

This was a fantastic summary. I’ll definitely recommend this to my friends who are just getting into The Witcher games and universe. I wonder where CDPR will take the story next…

1:20:21 oh shit, i wasn't ready for that. 🤣

Nice work dude thanks

Amazing video. While reading the books i wasnt paying enough attention to the larger world and its politics. This video makes many events of the books much clearer.

This is so well made

I'm writing a fan fiction as a hobby of a Fourth Northern War. The general premise would be that Dijkstra survives Witcher 3, but if I remember right, Sapkowski has confirmed that Nilfgaard eventually conquered the North under the reign of Morvran Voorhis. I'd love to make a video like this one day myself, to show how the war plays out. In short, thank you to everyone who put so much hard work into making this video. You're an inspiration.

Gwynleve would not have led the western flank, he was only a captain. Far more likely it was Havart var Moehoen the Nilfgaardian Field Marshal we see briefly talking with The Bloody Baron when we first enter his camp.

Love your content, keep up the great work!

Awesome stuff,thanks.

Good job, and thanks for the video!

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job

Great video!

Truly good work. Well done

Your videos on the witcher deserve so many more views

Fantastic video - thank you!

Since there’s no cannon ending to the third northern war can you do a series if dijkstra or radovid remains in power and defeats nilfgaard?

Good stuff Can’t imagainw how much effort was put into this Job well done

I love this channel and its other related channels!

THAT WAS SO GOOD 👏👏👏👏

48:44 “the poor fucking infantry” I’m dying

I feel like this series understands the nuances of geopolitics, especially with magic involved, better than 95% of fantasy. A lot of people focus too much on the petty squabbles instead of real world analogues for why cultures overtake or consume one another. It's pretty simple: if you have the money and/or military infrastructure you dictate your own terms, and similar sized polities constantly work with and against one another to gain any advantage.

Amazing work!

Awesome video. Thank you

Great video, I never really got into the Witcher games or show but these videos have sparked my interest in 'em. Could you please do a video on the Battle for Autobot City?

Love this channel!

amazing job as usual

I love this concept👍🏼👍🏼

Just found your channel! It's awesome!

i love the work you guys do. i am creating my own story and would like to know how you guys do the graphics.

You’re amazing mate!!

scoia'tael are called squirrels because they would tie squirrels tails to their caps it's literally said in "Blood of Elves." I don't know where the climbing trees and eating nuts came from, but that's not canon.

I'm addicted to your channel!

The narration quality on these videos is unparalleled. The narrator is speaking Elven gibberish as if it was their native language.

ty for the content!

Gotta comment saying these are amazing

Finally! A worthy ad

Let’s be honest the north was a clusterfuck, nilfgard was a blessing for them

Can I just get a video of Devon pronouncing Nilfgard and Elven words and names because it sounds so good 😂

that was epic .. thank you

If you are using game lore, might as well include Meve's successful 2nd liberation of Lyria and Rivia

Love the videos guys

Playing witcher 3 right now, such a fun game and the story is just as good.

1:10:12 As for this part, I think that the most "canon" version is Geralt saving Triss and Roche saving Anais, but without Geralt he's always too late to make it to the summit and affect the fate of Temeria. In this scenario, Vernon will choose to become the guardian of Anais instead, hiding her in the countryside until the end of chaos. This would explain the meager resistance of Temerian Army during the Third War - its nobles lacked the unifying symbol to rally around.

This series is too good to be true!!

Thank you!

Rlly cool, Ty

I dont know if I agree with how some events happened, but I'm more curious in how you found the information regarding Novigrad's siege

Noticed the crown of Gondor when you said Temeria has no king lol

This was so satisfying

Thanks!

Amazing!!!!

awesome stuff

Amazing video.

fantastic !!!!
