Spartans were trained from when they are born to when the die in many ways not just combat. If they are overpowered than they deserve to be because they should be.
@@jackbarnes9316 they have nice tactics, turtle tactic or whatever, but one by one, they're not that strong. Although heavy knights from mid ACs, so they definetly have better battling equipment, a bit modern.
If we are talking about melee, spartans are still the strongest unit (leaving aside gods and trolls). Problem here is that there were archers too and heavy knights stats against ranged are just too good.
@@Teatsaxif Spartans is the strongest melee unit the numbers are off. Sure, a spear is a better weapon than a sword but plate armor is vastly superior. The difference between spear and sword is not as great the difference in armor. Just the fact that the knights don't even carry shields as they were superfluous should tell you something. Sure Spartans were trained to fight from early on but so were European knights. Nope, I'd give it to the knights every time.
Words cannot express how interesting it was to watch the knights outflank and wipeout all the opposing archers. I applaud you CaptainCigar for identifying this and keeping us updated on the flanks frequently and regularly.
That positioning of the spartan archers, beyond where spartan soldiers could protect them, decided the battle. Heavy knights would still have won, but that just made it go down much faster.
@@SChome100 Yes. Spartans have a 55% chance to block arrows while heavy knights have 70% armor against arrows. Meanwhile in pure melee stats the spartans outclass he knights.
something thats always disturbed me from a moral standpoint is that halfway through the soldiers have to climb over a mountain of the dead just to join them.
Lol I think it was the arrows, they knights focused on eliminating then but the Spartans didn't. It was a good bloody fight though. Very surprise the knights won.
This was a close one, for some time was looking like the spartans had some advantage in speed, but the moment that got out of balance was when the crussaders broke through on the left wing (from crussaders view) into the archers, as those have no defense strength. Cool though.
The creator make Spartan so weak both should be the same battle out and see who's stronger.. Spartan race was the most powerful worriors ever we ever seen ❤
like irl knights are more durable and both are skillful and also knights are not slow like you think and this is a good battle both warriors are strong keep up the good work🎉🎉
These are fun to watch but I'd recommend not spending too much time watching the Frontline too much when there's nothing going on instead pay more attention to the flanks and break throughs which is what you did but I'd skip ahead when I see areas where nothing is happening. Besides that, great content!
I started to notice a pattern a while ago in these battles. Fate is decided in the flanks, inthis case the heavy knights were able to better destroy the spartan rear and that allowed them to distract and grind up the archers. Having less archers to your advantage quickly makes you lose even if you had a better melee unit (which I think it's no even the case for the spartans this time around)
Heres an idea i never see anybody try. Why dont u make a vid with the same unit and unit number say 50k knight vs 50k knight but experiment witb different unit formations and see which formations are the most effective.
I would have loved to watch a battle without archers, to see what unit is trully superior, since in a battle with archers the protection against ranged or how the archers randomly position themselves in the fight (for example, in this battle the majority of the spartan archers positioned where they could get flanked by knights) plat too much of a big role.
Dude the Heavy Knights are the shield with all that body armor on. Its not going to be easy to get through all that armor in just a few stabs with a spear. Its going to take alot of beating to get through it.
@@crossroads8370 Lol yeah but no shield has big disadvantage, have you ever heard of phalanx formation? what can a sword do in that situation, spear is longer than sword, you cannot penetrate a phalanx formation, how can your sword inflict damage even if the knight get near a phalanx formation spartan has big shield, but of course in this battle scenario simulation looks like its a free for all brawl haha i cant see no phalanx formation, but if the spartan use that, your heavy knight will be good night, that heavy armor of theirs when push will go down easily becuz of the heavy weight alone, your knight will struggle to even get up haha
@@crossroads8370 haha now i'm beginning to understand your talking already of an ironman armor, those medieval armors has gaps its not totally safe, even an arrows can penetrate armor, research some history man, a heavily armor knights was defeated even with just bow and arrows, their enemy was brilliant pick a muddy battle field so the heavy armored army was stuck in the mud and taking barrage of arrows, cannot ,moved, spears will definitely penetrate that medieval armors, and also your heavy knights will tire quickly, phalanx formation is designed offense and defense
The phalanx was not this unbreakable formation like it’s referenced in ancient propaganda. It was a great strategy, but not perfect. It lost against many a foe. The main issue is you have a fundamental misunderstanding of medieval plate armor. Medieval plate armor does not restrict movement like people think it does. There are several videos of people wearing plate armor and running, jumping, etc. It also makes you heavier, which is beneficial against a phalanx as they would not be able to easily “push them down haha” due to the increased weight. Next, plate armor does certainly have some gaps to allow movement. Finding the gaps with the point of your weapon is the difficult part as the armor is crafted to guid tips away from gaps. This is why one of the best ways to defeat a plated knight is with knives as the shorter distance between hilt and tip allows for increased accuracy. On a spear, you deal with the exact opposite problem as you will not be accurate realistically. Also if you are going to address gaps in knights as a weakness, you will need to address the fact that the Spartans are literally covered in gaps. Even in their historical garb of leather or bronze armor, they would have much less protection. Additionally, plate armor would likely be as effective or more effective as ancient shield technology at blocking arrow fire while allowing each individual to “defend” and attack at the same time while the Spartans here would have more openings. Now Crossbows would be more effective against a heavily armored unit due to a higher piercing ability, but that’s not what we are dealing with. Also, a comparison between the Persian army to knights is illogical. It’s like comparing modern soldiers to soldiers of the napoleonic era because they both carry projectile weapons involving gunpowder.
Dude the heavy kinght is the new must powerful melee unit by deafting the spartans the strongest melee and it wasn't a close fight either when the spartans had 16 the heavy kinghts had 200,000 soilders remaining good granulations to the kinghts know there more powerful than the Roman's egiptions small kinghts zombies and of course know the spartans
In real life? Yes! Spartans are like the Michael Jordan's of the battle field!!....it's why they are Spartans...these are the weakest Spartans I've ever seen, they are literattely doing nothing...lol
@@Anonymous-pf5bz not true! There always a niche in the armor and the Spartans are aware of this, they are expert assassins even w armored enemies...come on now....haven't u guys seen The Spartans???
I love a good battle before bed, much appreciated man 😊
dude same.
We can make a trio here bois
In a previous version, spartans were MUCH stronger, and i wasn't having it. Glad to see game basics get balanced.

No matter how many of these I watch that say "one million" I am still taken aback just how many one million people is.
Waaw what a nasty fight, the knights won very surprise they won. Amazing good one.
WHY ARE THESE VIDEOS SO ADDICTING
indeed
No se pero a mi me encantan se pequeño 🧑
For real tho
I concur
Interesting that the Spartans were ahead until the archers got involved. With no archers, my momey would still be on the Spartans
It’s appropriate that the Knights won the battle. After all, they have about a millennia of technological advancements on the Spartans
Holy hell that was epic. Nice to see the Spartans have finally met their match. Well done.
You killed it NAILED it AGAIN my friend. You be having the best UBS by far. Please keep these up. I'm rooting for you.
I hate that they used the wildly inaccurate movie version for the Spartans.
something thats always disturbed me from a moral standpoint is that halfway through the soldiers have to climb over a mountain of the dead just to join them.
Well i guess we have a new king of melee unit
Lol I think it was the arrows, they knights focused on eliminating then but the Spartans didn't. It was a good bloody fight though. Very surprise the knights won.
the reason the knights won was because of the archers. the Spartans can't deflect while the knights won because they can

Wow, wonder how many
Oops!!
I killed the wrong guy? Happened
Pretty cool looking though.
Thanks

Nah the Pope really gonna send a whole Crusade on spartans
The creator make Spartan so weak both should be the same battle out and see who's stronger.. Spartan race was the most powerful worriors ever we ever seen ❤
I've never seen the Spartans get slapped like that before
I love it dude keep it up❤❤
like irl knights are more durable and both are skillful and also knights are not slow like you think and this is a good battle both warriors are strong keep up the good work🎉🎉
next time without archers - just knights as title states
Hmmmmm bronze swords, spears and shields vs steal plate and 2 handed swords.
These are fun to watch but I'd recommend not spending too much time watching the Frontline too much when there's nothing going on instead pay more attention to the flanks and break throughs which is what you did but I'd skip ahead when I see areas where nothing is happening.

Now what I want to see and reenacted is the battle of Jerusalem
WE MUST RETAKE JERUSALEM!

I think that the Spartans was faster than the medieval knights and the archers and that led them to get archers late in the battle.
A perfect blood (DAM)

Where to buy uebs tho
in fact only 300 Spartans needed to kill everybody
I find watching these to be cool I second the decision not to use archers
I feel bad for the black smiths.........
Great battle!
leader of the knights be like :kill them all if you dont your dateing the worlds ugliest girl few minutes later the spartens are all dead
idk knight was going to win since spartans arw op in this game 😂😮😮 gues we have the new king of malee in this game

If they would use there trademark move the phalanx they would win
Spartans the best❤
