I put a lot of effort and time into making these videos, I would appreciate if you leave a Like and a Comment. Thank you so much! 😉 See also other Massive Battles: 👉🏻 ru-vid.com/group/PLWCqtiurTeFoc8VZxq6B1zRHD66s4hD2H If there is any battle, historical or fictitious, that you want to see recreated in Age of Empires, let me know in the comments.
@@historyforgamers Battle of Bubat, Mongol invasion of Java, and First Dutch Expedition to East Indies (Indonesia, 16th Century). If you using Age Of Empires III Difinitive Edition: Java War (Diponegoro War) the most epic battle of Colonial Age, Blitar PETA rebellion, etc.
@@goodoldgamingyoutuber6371 Thanks for the suggestions. I do plan to use Age of Empires 3 to recreate battles from 1600 onwards, and Diponegoro War is a good option for then.
I would argue that the fall of Constantinople was but one of many important factors that led to the end of the Middle Ages (which include, but aren’t limited to: the fall of Granada and thus the end of the Reconquista; the discovery of the Americas; the end of the Hundred Years War; the breaking of the Teutonic Order and formation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; the Italian Wars; the consolidation of Russia by Muscovy), as there is no fixed end for the period anyway, but as always a very well-done video. I particularly enjoyed how you decided to represent the “rolling-bridge” used by Mehmed to transport his ships over land
Yes, it is true that there were more events that marked the end of the Middle Ages, but we can say that this was one of the most important. Maybe I could have said it that way, but I personally think that because of the repercussions it had. The roller-bridge was complicated and the only way to do it occurred to me 😀. Thank you very much Jordi.
Although there are more than one factor, I argue that the fall of Constantinople lead many philosophers, scientists and artists who were in Byzantine lands to migrate Italy which later ignited the start of Renaissance. So many historians consider Fall of Constantinople/Renaissance as the end of middle ages. Another important note is that the Western civilizations realized the power of gunpowder and cannons with the Fall of Constantinople which lead to the gunpowder advancements and the decline of feudal lords and rise of centralized kingdoms.
@@aliyenercetiner7647 eh, both points have counterpoints. Regarding the Renaissance, it had already started in Italy several decades before the fall of Constantinople, as it’s generally considered to have taken off in the 14th century. Regarding gunpowder, it had already been used to great effect previously, such as at the battle of Crécy (even featured on this channel). Heck, even the Byzantines used cannons, so the view that they completely and foolishly rejected gunpowder because they didn’t know its potency is unfounded. Though they were initially used across Europe in siege defense, they eventually became used as siege engines in the middle of the 14th century, earliest attestation being at the siege of Conselice, near Bologna. In Spain, Christian kings enlisted Moorish advisors as masters of artillery as early as the 1360s. If anything, it was probably the target of the Ottomans’ great bombard (and how quickly it was overwhelmed) - the Theodosian walls, considered nigh-impregnable for centuries - rather than the bombard itself that caused a ruckus in Europe
@@jordinagel1184 You are right, however what I was saying is that this major event accelerated what was already started. Both the renaissance and usage of gunpowder were there before it, it just caused a big sensation in both of them where things started to shift dramatically in the course of history. You might argue that it directly ended the medieval era, but it's surely the biggest major event indirectly caused it.
I feel like this is the first naval+land battle you’ve posted and this is a masterpiece! The galleys on the rolling bridge was amazing and the largest cannon looked super cool (I haven’t played DE, is that unit model in the game scripts?) Anyway, can’t wait for red cliffs after seeing this video😁
La estás rompiendo con tu canal. El algoritmo me arrojó este vídeo y me lo ví completo. Ni siquiera se sienten los 17 minutos de duración de tan ameno que es. Muchas felicidades. Una vez más se demuestra que muchos aprendimos historia gracias a Age of Empires y que esto, como gamer y como profesor, tiene un gran potencial.

Just discovered this channel and already loved it. Always dreaming representing the great battles in history using aoe graphics and features. You killed it admin! Bravo 👏
I already have the battles of Manzikert and Mohacs on my list to do, the one of Preveza is not, so I'm adding it right now. Thank you very much for your comment Michael.
That was epic in every sense of the word! Your videos just keep pushing the limit more and more, and watching these almost feels like being a kid again, and learning through the AoE II campaigns 25 years ago, which is a high compliment from me! After doing Jerusalem, I was curious if you might actually attempt to show Constantinople, because it's such a unique city layout, and in order to do it justice, it would have to be a particularly large map with lots of intricate details, including the golden horn, the chain across the bay, the distinct generations of walls, and even various quarters of the city, all of which you represented faithfully. Great job, as always!
I greatly appreciate that you value the work that is in the city trying to represent it as best as possible and that you enjoyed the video in that way. Thank you very much for your comment.
Good stuff, always makes me a little sad seeing the end for the last of what was once Rome. For a future video you should consider the second siege of Vienna by the ottomans in 1683. Its got the largest cavalry charge in history. lots of hussars and Janissaries, what's not to like?
Hello History for Gamers, I'm a big fan of the decision to teach history to gamers (and people that like AOE2) through editor scenarios and I've watched all of your videos. I feel like this scenario was excellent, but I'd like to see a bit more unit diversity - the fleet was excellent, but the Ottoman Army should've probably contained some Man at Arms with the Eastern Swordsmen and the militias as it matches their equipment. And the Byzantine, likely Serjeants. I also would've liked to see Keshiks & Hunnic Heroes (the ones with the saber, without the glow, I can't remember the name for the heck of me), Horse Archers & Steppe Lancers in the Ottoman Army, as it represents their cavalry far better than the Cavalier. I also think the Byzantine Cavalry charge should've contained Knights, Cataphracts and Leitis during the charge, instead of just Leitis. But apart from that, this was very well done and props to you for making a great-looking Constantinople map. Respectfully!
I think your suggestions about the units are correct, especially the cavalry. I may have been more concerned with the map than the units and could have made it more accurate. Thanks for your feedback Kae.
@@paulusmoranferz5543 Lo suyo sería hacerlo con el editor del 3 por el tipo de unidades, pero ese no lo controlo mucho. De momento iré haciendo batallas con el Age2.

Hola!! Muy buen contenido y la verdad se ve todo espectacular. Lo único que te diría es que tuvieras cuidado con cosas como las de "Mehmeh two" o "Murad two" en la narración, queda un poco raro. Mucha suerte, he visto esta y Agincourt y me han parecido muy buenas ambas!!
Hola Luis. Tienes razón, el bot que lee los textos a veces convierte las numeraciones de reyes y gobernantes en cosas extrañas y tengo que repasar como quedan. Gracias por el comentario, me alegro de que te hayan gustado los vídeos 😉.
Rome: -First King: Romulus -First Emperor: Augustus -Last Emperor: Romulus Augustus Byzantine Rome: -First Emperor: Constantine -Last Emperor: Constantine The Fall of Rome is the start of the medieval ages. The Fall of Byzantine Rome is the end of medieval ages. Rome fell at the hands of Turkic Empire(Huns) Byzantine rome fell at the hands of Turkic Empire(Ottomans)
Ottoman Constantinople/Istanbul: - First Sultan: Mehmed - Last Sultan: Mehmed Ottomans took it from Greek speakers with Italian support. Ottomans (briefly) lost it from an army that included Greeks and Italians.
La caída del imperio bizantino impresionante trabajo, podrías hacer la caida de Tenochtitlan y la guerra civil incicq antes de la llegada de España, saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴❤️💪
I can't believe such an important and iconic event in history such as the Ottoman siege of Constantinople wasn't included in the original Age of Empires 2 and still isn't even in the Definitive Edition. Fans had to create a custom scenario.
I think there was no demolition after captured Constantinople by Ottomans. If so like this, we could not talk about Hagia Sophia, Galata Tower, St. Nikolaos and Pierre, Aya Elenia, Aya Irini, Barbara churches, many obelisks and cisterns. Some of them have been converted with Ottoman styles, some of them have been fell with time by themselves. 😊
What a fantastic idea. I applaud your effort, it seems ideal to re-construct historical battles by using the Age 2 DE Engine. Did you use scripts, if I may ask?
Why did you use the Turk wonder/Mosque for the Hagia Sophia , when the Byzantine one is clearly more fitting and era correct? the minaret towers are a Islamic thing, and were added by the Ottomans. Also since we are at it, it'd be more fitting to use the East European monastery instead of the default mediterranean one for Constantinople.
Yes, it was my fault for thinking that I had only that version of the building. I have already corrected it for the next time I use the map. Thanks for the suggestions.
Could you please do a siege of Negroponte (Chalkida)? It was a gruesome and very interesting siege (1470 A.C.). During this period Chalkida was under Venice's command and Venice sent a huge fleet to protect Negroponte but the person that had to handle this fleet, Nicolo Canal, was more of "a man of letters" than a man of action and he had second thoughts and pulled out of the battle and returned back to Venice causing the fall of Negroponte and Chalkida. Chalkidian fleet and army managed to kill almost 50.000 Ottomans, while they lost more than 6.000. There's a belief that the sultan (Mehmed II) gave orders to chop all of Chalkida's soldiers, Greek and Latin, in half, he sawed the leader, Paolo Erizzo, in half and gave orders to have Paolo's daughter in his harem. She then spat in his face and he ordered his soldiers to bind her in front of everyone in the room and chop her in 3 pieces.
I did not know it and I found it very interesting. I'm writing it down to read about it and see if I can make a video in the future. Thank you so much!
@@historyforgamers Also Rise And Fall: Cvilizations At War. I'm still very sad that AOE4 did absolutely nothing to improve units on walls or introducing this mechanics. They just copy pasted everything from previous games with no new innovations.
Really glad and utterly happy to see this campaign. This is dream coming true. 👉Btw.if I can "nit pick" a little bit 👉👉those 4 minarets around Hagia Sofia shouldn't be there yet 😅 they were added AFTER the siege. Little interesting historical fact
Fue increible escuchar la historia por medio de Age of Empires. Me encantaría que experimentaras con Age of Empires IV para hacer lo mismo. Creo que puede ser bastante interesante. Sin duda, tus documentales son mucho más visuales que otros, este juego trae consigo una caja de arena para este tipo de contenido. Sigue así!
Age of Empires 2 se presta muy bien para hacer esto, siempre he pensado que su editor tenía un potencial enorme. Si, tengo que echar un vistazo al del Age4 y ver sus posibilidades. Muchas gracias Ficlic!
it's an amazing scenario. I would just point that the city is overall way too large. Constantinople was partly ruralized in 1453, so it was more of a collection of small settlements within the city walls than a continuous ubran settlement. And why is there the blue mosque instead of the hagia sophia?
Thanks for your comment. You are right in your analysis of the city. I tried to show the rural and less urban part with the farm area. The wonder thing is a serious mistake that I had and that I can't solve until I make a new video 😥.
It was a good piece of art u did there but there were some wrong informations: 1- There was no peace offering from Mehmet The Second, on contrary ruler of Byzantine offered a peace but Mehmet The Conqueror refuesed it. How could someone says "Either Constantinople takes me or i take it" offer peace exchange of money? 2- There was no looting nor murdering after taking the city. On contrary local people welcomed Mehmet The Second and made it rain roses for him. After the conquest Mehmet The Conqueror announced a Sultan's edict says: "All of u r spared. Anyone wants to leave can leave freely, anyone wants to stay can stay in peace!"
Muito legal ver isso pela ótica do jogo. Vi a série da Netflix e gostei muito. Nunca joguei uma partida de campanha nesse jogo que tivesse esse canhão mais poderoso.
@@historyforgamers I've never played EE3 just the first one so I'm not sure. You can use Men of war or Call to arms Gates of hell DLC to cover some WW2 stuff. They have a good editor
I think this is just a legend but apparently Constantine upon hearing the Ottomans had made it into the city said "The walls of Constantinople have fallen, and yet I am still alive" He then rushed into a mob of Ottoman troops swinging his longsword never to be seen again.

Can you do the Battle on Ice (1242). We already have the Boyars, Teutonic Knight, Crusader Knight (campaign) and Leitis so I think it's fairly easy to implement
Tienes razón Fran. Ya me lo han comentado varios y fue un fallo grave mío porque no me fijé en la maravilla bizantina. Ya está corregido el mapa para la próxima batalla que haga en Constantinopla.
