Absolutely top tier production. Outstanding job mate
I lived in Izmir Turkey with my dad in the service at the time. Alexander then as now is my favorite hero. He was amazing.
I have watched many channels but this is the best video I have ever seen
💯
First to comment let's go!!
Alexander the great is one of my favorite generals and seeing him in your video is amazing, you guys are such a great channels and the battles are so amazingly done
Moim ulubionym jest Hannibal i gen. Lee.
@@ukaszw.5461Alexander the Great and Napoleon are mine.
That was one of the most beautiful cavalry charges in cinematic gaming I’ve ever seen
Another really great historical battle re-enactment. Not only are the graphics superb, the commentary is also excellent. Thus is history brought to life...well done. Please do more 🙏
Been waiting for this video for awhile! Awesome job!!!!
I enjoyed this video. My favorite battle from ancient times. Thank you.
@7:48 the birds-eye view! just like the movie! dope! keep em comin!
Much better than any Ridley Scott "historical" movie.
Thanks!
First of all, FINALLY!!! THANK YOU!!! This my favorite battle in the 2004 film that depicts his life.
Second of all, I need to make something VERY clear about this battle: In the movie, the Macedonians advanced BEFORE the chariots charged. They also chanted while they were advancing (WATCH A VIDEO OF THE MOVIE'S DEPICTION OF BATTLE OF GAUGAMELA!).
Oh, and third, changing the topic, I want you to do me ONE favor, about King Darius III. You see, his empire invaded not just Greece, but also India (their invasion was BEFORE Alexander invaded India). You see, the story of this invasion is a lot to explain, but I'll make it simple: Around 535 BCE, the Persian king, Cyrus the Great, initiated a protracted campaign to absorb parts of India into his nascent Achaemenid Empire, or aka, the Persian Empire. In this initial incursion, the Persian army annexed a large region to the west of the Indus River, consolidating the early eastern borders of their new realm. After a brief pause from Cyrus' death around 530 BCE, the campaign continued under Darius the Great, who began to re-conquer former provinces and further expand the Achaemenid Empire's political boundaries. Around 518 BCE, the Persian army pushed further into India to initiate a second period of conquest by annexing regions up to the Jhelum River (what is today known as Punjab). At peak, the Persians managed to take control of most of modern-day Pakistan and incorporate it into their territory. That is what I was told in a Wikipedia article that depicts Persia's invasion of India. Can you depict all of that into Total War?
And in early 19th century GREEK or GREECE was CREATED. 100 years after that...BUCHAREST TREATY DIVIDED MACEDONIAN TERRITORY and GREECE GAINED 51% OF TERRITORY!! PREVIOUS HISTORY SOLD SEPERATELY🤣🤣💪🇲🇰❤️❤LONG LIVE MACEDONIANS 🇲🇰💪❤️Regardless of your passport.
Till this day, I'm just thinking why would anyone charge towards a phalanx. Its like you're sprinting head on to smash your entire body into a wall (with spikes). Like what would Darius hope to achieve in doing something so insane ? Chariots aren't tanks
He saw most of them as cannon fodder anyway
Here to support this channel💪 keep it up
i think darius III was anything except of military commander if he gave the command of the army to like ariobarzanes the results would be better, becuase he was the only person to outsmarted the alexander and stop the greek adavndce for month in battle of persian gate. but still alexander was truley great military strategist.
Superbe vidéo, du grand art...bravo !!
Big up de plaisirs et pleins de GggggG=)))
Extraordinary video. Keep going strong Bro.
thanks

Thank you for this. I don't know if it's the right niche but if anyone's heavily into Hellenistic warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. Keep up with the amazing work! Love, Antonio
They were right hard bastards back in the day, eh? A bit on the stabby side too.
Excellent learning experience.
this channel is best for storytelling ❤
thank you for giving heart
great vid
thank you🎉🎉
Amazing as always
am i the only one who notices the battle sounds of dying men are from stronghold 1? :D
If only my total war rome 2 battles were this organized.
One thing never mentioned is that Macedonians had long spears at over 5 meters in length that was the biggest advantage on weapons, so a Macedonian could eliminate few Persians before being eliminated they also with their long spears could eliminate cavalry before they could start doing any damage to Macedonians.
Always long range weapons win wars
The Romans used short swords.
that was awesome

*_What the hell is the narrator talking about [starting at _**_00:22_**_] when he says Alexander "had his men clear out a large section of land in which was to be the battlefield"?_* Christ almighty, looking at the video, these guys must have been busy "clearing out land" for months, if not years? Awfully generous then for Alexander, afterward, to give his "clearers" a few days rest.
40,000 men wouldn’t take too long

BCE- Before Common Era
I will never understand war, past or present. What do both sides experience in the after life? Are they standing around looking at each other? Or nothing at all?
In Iran we dont say alexander. We call him skandar. Eshkatnar an Iranian prince raised his flag against the empire and the whole teritory went in a chaos. He died in a. city at south east of Iran. The city name is Hendijan. Search in google map. This fictional character Alexander also died in his way to India. After 30 years of chaos Ashanid dynasty took the control and began the Parthian empire. Greeks made this person based on Eshkatnar and then after centries people accepted him as a real commander.
Nice vid but where not most of the infantry not Greeks from the subdued Greek city sites in the west of those fight as hoplites. Therefore less individual melees and more of the pike punch. As for the Persians how do they fight a long pike head on?
My request: Battle of Hastings.
"entitlement"
I think Darius had war elephants.
Didn’t know they had computer generation back then
I don't understand the meaning. The author forgot the message. Why did this war happen? Why did he give his subordinates a break? Was each action good or bad? It ended without any clear meaning. I want to watch a video that makes me feel glad I watched it.

Can please make video on what happened next after battle of Yarmok by Muslims.
Yes
So if Darius just kept 500 spear guys around him, Alexander's cavalry would have been stopped and Alexander would have lost the war.
Alexander's companion cavalry were some of his most seasoned and loyal warriors. They're not morons. They could just as easily dismount and butcher them.
@@tagguh1 Probably, but Darius has his bodyguards, too. If they stopped Alexander's charge, they would have won.
It's interesting to think about.
@@Poisonedblade They would not have won lol.
@@tagguh1 Even if they slowed Alexander's charge, Daruis's cavalry would have finished off the flank and returned to Darius. The Persians had a 20,000 man+ advantage. If they were able to surround Alexander, he would have been screwed.
@@Poisonedblade Numbers mean nothing in the face of disciplined well trained and elite troops. That is obvious and evident in this exact battle. Darius's troops were nowhere near as battle hardened and equipped as Alexander's were. Nor did they have the same level of discipline and good order, as is evident when their line absolutely crumbled once Alexander got behind them.
The reality is, Alexander was a master strategist as well as an excellent commander. Darius never had a chance to win this battle. Numbers do not mean anything when you can effectively control the battlefield, which Alexander was infamous for doing.
If Alexander is a real person, where is his tomb? Why nobody knows what happened to his body?
What if Genghis Khan had run up against Alexander The Great?

I wonder if the horses know if they're in war

Good for you
The biggest Makedonian who ever lived and onlyone who ruled the world...
Aleksandar Makedonian spechees to Makedonians before the battle of Gaugamela :
Makedonians, conquer the fear, and you will conquer the death...
Question for greeks who claim Makedonians were greeks was greek - why 50 000 greeks fight on Darius side against Makedonians ???
Also zu der Zeit sahen sich sowohl die Bewohner des Heutigen Griechenlands als auch die Bewohner des Makedonischen Königreiches. Als Helenen. Das war für sie eine Kulturel einigende Identität. Auch wenn man das Keinesfalls mit einer Nationlen Identität gleichsetzen darf. Ein Helene aus Theben sah sich zuerst als Tehbaner dann vielleicht noch als Boötier und erst dann als Helene. Während ein Makedone sich zuerst als Bürger seiner Stadt dann als Makedone und dann als Helene sah. Weil die Helenische Identität keine Nationale Identität war. War es für Helenen auch kein Problem sich als Söldner für die Perser zu verdingen wie ihre vorfahren es einigende hundert Jahre zuvor ebenfalls getan haben.
before 25 centuries PHILIP KING, ALEXANDER TSAR ON MAKEDONIJA ! ! !
What else you will find in order to insult our very Greek history. ?.?? Poor things. You are searching for an identity. But this is not yours. If is yours answer me in Greek. Alexander's language. Can you???
@@aggelinairiniaggelaki2720
Demosthenes, ancient orator, born in Athens, killed himself on the island Kalavria, while he was running away from the Makedonian pursuers.One of the most important opus of Demosthenes is his famous "Phillipiki" - spechees against Phillip II - King of Makedonia. Here is just a part of his III Phillipika:
"...Phillip is not helen, he has nothing helenian, he is BARBARIAN who is coming from a land, from which one even you can't buy a slave, he is MAKEDON!..."
@sashaparaulovic8675 Stop this kind of unacceptable propaganda. Because Greeks fought several times against each other, like Soartzns against Athdnians and so on, this is not proof that both of them are not Greeks. Is exactly the same for Macedonias. All the rest is Scopian propaganda.
Bullshit. Alexander is a lie. Alexander is a story made by greeks. Achaemenid empire collapsed because of civil wars and also religon wars.
😒
This is worst description of the battle I’ve ever heard.
Thanks boomer
@@WarAndHistory. your welcome Gen whatever. I’ll be happy to give you some good historical descriptions of Issusus, Tyre, Halacanarnis, the League of Cornish, Phillips invasion of Greece, Alexander’s exile, the retreat across the desert, etc if you want. Some of us boomers made it our life’s study, and visited many of the places we study. About the only thing the movie got right about Alexander was that battle. Darius Calvary was in the center, that’s why Alexander was slowly riding as though to leave the field. Beside him running along with them were thousands of slingers hidden by the dust. That left a gap in the center of the Persian line right where Darius was. When Alexander suddenly wheeled his Calvary and rode hard toward Darius the slingers who were deadly accurate attacked the Persian Calvary. Darius seeing he was unprotected turned and ran. Alexander knew killing Darius ended it all but Parmenion was in trouble and called for help. As a great commander would he choose to help his men rather than personal glory. I might add it was the first time a En Eshelan attack with the left reversed was ever used in history, and would be used through the American civil war. I might add that in the description of Cannae you were also wrong. It was his weakest troops in the center, not his strongest. That’s why Hannibal himself placed himself there to inspire his men. The center was supposed to slowly fall back allowing the Romans to sense a break through and commit more troops there allowing for what would become the first double envelopment in history to be used. A good rule of thumb in studying ancient military figures and battles is to first read the ancient sources. In Alexander’s case far and between, then the scholarly works by highly esteemed historians. Not all are the same. As an example in trying to grasp Alexander’s personality and character. I read three biographies. One by a Greek author, one by an American author, and one by a Persian or Turkish author. You’ll quickly see the biases, but it’s where they agree thats what I’m most interested in. Sorry if I was sloppy in my writing this but I had to rush. I’m sure you and I have much more in common than not. I’ve visited many of the ancient places where history was changed, and though not remotely the same in most cases. Sometimes you get to what’s accepted but not for certain, but the same feeling overcomes you. You know it so well you can hear the sounds, see it in your minds eye, sometimes it brings you to tears. Isn’t history grand?
Дарию не надо было бежать, может и выиграл этот бой.
In this battle Aleksandar never had Greeks, not even one, not even a half a greek. don't get me wrong I will proved to you. for a start Greece never exist in this period of time, the difference between Greece and ALEKSANDAR TALKING TIME IS approximately 2150 years difference, Greece exist only until today 192 years not even 200 years. here is a prove.
Greece: (OTTO THE FIRST AND THE ONLY ONE KING OF GREECE. German Bavarian: Otto Fredrich Ludwig von Bayern, 1 June 1815 - 26 July 1867 AD) was a first Bavarian Prince as a King who Ruled Greece from the establishment of the monarchy on 27 May 1832, under the Convention of London, until he was deposed on 23 October 1862. Prove me if I'm wrong. The history is gone up to shit.
