  • After a failed attempt to interfere in the succession of the new sultan, the Byzantine now must man the defenses and protect their capital Constantinople! The Ottoman Empire was outraged by their actions and was going to seek revenge by taking the grand city in 1422. The siege was gruesome, and eventually the Ottomans were defeated. But ever since the siege, the Byzantine Empire never fully recovered. Enjoy the Siege of Constantinople :D

    Why do I block out the Mini-Map with annotations for Sub battle replays?
    I block it out because the Mini-Map gives away who sent in the battle replay. And in most cases whoever sends in the battle replay wins the battle. So I block it to keep it a surprise :D

    So much historical ignorance in these comments claiming byzantines arent greek but romans... what if i told you they where ethnic greeks but still romans- Even Konstantin XI told his soldiers in the morning befor the last battle of 1453 to never forget that they are greeks AND Romans. They spoke greek too and identified as such. Roman is a title that many countries used, nothing to do with ethnicity. For example the ottomans referred to themselves as romans too after capturing Constantinople. So Did the holy roman empire of german nation and few others. Being roman doesnt exclude being a german greek, turkish or whatever

    • @BlackKnightTWBG
      @BlackKnightTWBG 8 років тому

      Hmm, I just testet this on the vanilla and I did the same things as Apollo. Destroyed towers, made a hole in the walls where he did and moved the siege towers. Same thing happened to me. My troops didn't want to get on the walls. And the enemy troops couldn't get down. Even when they routhed they still couldn't get down. The Siege towers can't be used to go back down from the walls, that was working in rome 1 and medieval 2, not in the new TW. So its like I said, no way for them to go down and thats why they didn't get on the walls.
      Its not from the mod, its how the game is made.

    • @eirikmarthinsen3850
      @eirikmarthinsen3850 8 років тому

      I was talking about the Varangian Guard, which had pretty much ceased to exist at this point. They disappeared from official records during the 13th century although there are some few sources of people self-identifying as Varangians during the fall. Giovanni was the captain of the Genoans and Venetians, and had nothing to do with the Guard. In either case If the guard had existed, they were a different part of the byzantine army with their own officers and ultimately answered to the emperors person rather than a mercenary captain.

    Constantinapole had a short and a long wall. 2 layers of walla to be more simple with a little distance between them. This is very innaccurate. ...

  • @detectivephelps9805
    @detectivephelps9805 7 років тому +8

    First off, I enjoyed the video. I love the boys in purple eh I mean reddish brown.
    However, how was this battle ever balanced? The attackers had 3 teams, and 2,300 more men than the Defenders. Furthermore, the city was barely fortified with little to no defenses. It's basically an open land battle after you open two-four walls and take out the watchtower with one of your onagers. The only way this battle would be fair (without changing the # of units on each team) is if the Defenders had a 3rd human to command and micro, or if their defenses were actually sturdy, like with onagers on the walls, stronger walls, spike pits, etc.
    I'm sure really great players can beat these odds up above, but it doesn't change the fact that the battle is still unbalanced.
    Edit: I'd like to see the same numbers but with two humans attacking and three defending, I think that would make it fair

    • @generictoasterstroodle1080
      @generictoasterstroodle1080 6 років тому

      Ryan Spence Well attackers have more of an advantage because the archers can shoot them behind the cover of the walk and there are archer towers and oil.

    Historical representation? Come on. This is a game simulation of some digitally created city but it is NOT Constantinople. This simulation has got nothing to do with history. The walls on Constantinople were so thick it did not fall for more than 800 years. It wouldnt get knocked down by a couple of catapult shots. There were multiple layers of walls and trenches too around the city. The city did eventually fall to the arabs but only after multiple days of cannon shots.

    • @TheSunderingSea
      @TheSunderingSea 8 років тому

      Its because the Turkish faction is currently underpowered as they don't have that many units, so the Arab Sultanate with a more complete roster was used in its place.

      @vroomkaboom108 8 років тому +11

      Liam Parker yes, but it's more of a prestigious title. They weren't roman like those of the old latin west anymore, but not fully greek like the Antigonids and Seleucids before them. not roman, not greek. Romaioi

    • @liamparker2590
      @liamparker2590 8 років тому +2

      +Steel Patterns Regardless they were technically roman because they called themselves the roman empire even though their ethnicity wasn't roman. Like I am white yet my nationality is south African.

    • @vroomkaboom108
      @vroomkaboom108 8 років тому +2

      Liam Parker when something is "technically" a thing, it only means that it meets a checklist. You are technically qualified to be a south african because you have citizenship there since birth. But if you went to, say, the UK, you would commonly pass by a british man just fine.

    Spatharioi comes from spathi which is sword.
    Scoutatoi comes from skouton which is a large oval (later kite-shaped) shield made of wood, covered by linen or leather and edged with rawhide, with a steel boss in earlier periods.
    Cataphracts means literally those who are totally covered by armor.
    Kontaratoi comes from contarion which is the pike.
