    Unit variety was OFF-THE-CHARTS on this one, absolutely super happy with the way the units are portrayed, everyone's got their own 'unique' units so to speak and you really recognize each armies and variations very clearly, unlike in some previous battles.
    I'd say the use of the Great Bombard (with the janissaries pushing them) in Vienna might ... not have been my favorite sight to see, unless there's a secret part of history that says Janissaries defected with their great cannons to join the Siege. I understand you totally wanted big cannons for Vienna, though.
    To further improve your next scenarios, I'd recommend really managing the units and where they're going, I saw a unit clearly going where it shouldn't (like the ottoman cannon crossing the bridge at 2:40).
    I'd also use patrol or attack move a little more, as sometimes, it felt like some armies were just walking into combat, were attacked, and then didn't actually do anything until like five, ten seconds in.
    Finally, the voice narration could use to come in a little earlier. It felt like a deafening silence when the Cuirassiers charged the Ottomans attacking the front of the army for the first quarter minute, I could see their units starting to flank and get in position but the voice narration only came in after they'd charged in and started killing.
    A personal touch I'd add would be 'battle ambience' of medieval battlefields during fights, men screaming etc - there must be like a few dozen iterations from games and fan-made on UA-cam. It'd add to the battles. Just little 10-20 second cuts added atop the actual fights, I think it'd enhance the thing greatly.
    TLDR: Super super good work, you're improving every videos, I'm very happy to remain a consistent subscriber. @historyforgamers

      Thank you very much for your comment and critique of the video. You help me a lot with your suggestions.
      I make a note to be more attentive to the behavior of the units. It's difficult to keep an eye on everyone with two computers at the same time, but I'll try to be more careful and make sure they don't do what they shouldn't 🤣.
      Yes, the narration at some points sounds a little later than it should and at other times it comes a little ahead. I will correct it in the next videos.
      Again, thank you for putting so much interest in the videos and trying to help me and for being such a loyal subscriber 👏👏👏.

    15:08 To put the charge into perspective, they charged with 20 000 Horsemen - thrice the number of the Rohirrim in Return of the King if you want a visual reference - and it is considered the largest cavalry charge in history.

    Sadly, the in-game Winged Hussars poorly represent what these horsemen were. An Elite. Imagine today special forces (Marines, GROM etc.) Only the rich could afford a horse, armor, lance, saber and later a gun. They were strictly trained. A famous example os how 2 riders were instructed to ride so closely and tightely together that a coin placed between their feet would stay lodged by their foot pushing against each other. Imagine a cavalry charge equivellant to a wall of concrete charging at you. I don't remember if hussars existed when Jadwiga was King of Poland (most likely yes) but even then they were top notch, a small force capable of miraculous victories against a stronger opponnent. They preety much weren't medival, but more early modern.
