I live in the Netherlands and take the bus everyday from the Menno van Coehoornwei (wei is street in frysian), just wanted to state that.... ;p nice vid
Thank you very much Witcher George. The stories and side facts of important battles and events are the great things in the witcher universe, that makes it so real and exciting! Great video on this aspect of war and important people living in this times. Thanks and best wishes.
Absolutely love these lore videos! They enrich my knowledge of the Witcher universe and make my Play Throughs that much more better! Cheers Witcher George!
Ya becha! From their color scheme to their culture they're fukin awesome as a nation not only as an army. Maybe only the knights of tousissant have more good looking armor, to bad they're just a small dutchy and can't even compare in military strenght with Nilfgaard.
@@Patchw0rkx Except skellige is vastly outnumbered. Their big advantage is that they're hard to conquer due to them beeing on those islands and potential invaders are not so acustomed to the terrain and climate there.
i couldnt read all the comments below but am i the only one who noticed that it was not cesar who said:"varus give me back my legions?" the varus battle was after cesars time on emperor augustus
I don't understand politics, so during the Battle of Brenna chapter, I'm firmly within the wheelhouse of the medics and just wonder "What the fuck is going on?!"

In the books it is mentioned by Eversten that they would be burning down Aedirn in revenge for Sodden, I don't think it's ever actually said who ordered it in the books, but I imagine Ardal, Coehoorn and Joachim all had a say in it, as well as I imagine Emhyr did. Did thronebreaker make it clear that it was Ardal's decision and his alone?
Mennos defeat wasnt the fault of his scouts but himself, great military leaders like hannibal barca scouted hills and difficult terrain themselves. he should have sent a second group or just scouted himself. theres a risk to it but if youre on horse back you can very easily fallback to your encampment

I think it is funny they took a name straight out of history. It is like the girl Angouleme in the books, a city in France.
i am a descendant of him on my moms name. her name coehoorn.

You're my favorite Witcher UA-camr! Love you're lore and playthroughrs! (btw your voice is awesome! Wierd comment but it's soooo freaking calming ^^)
Thank you man!

I'm glad that you enjoy them! Thank you!
Am I the only one who likes the nilfgaardians more than any other army in the witcher series... they are Hella cool!
Oh, I definitely prefer Nilfgaard. I'm big on the Skelligers, but Nilfgaard is so much more orderly.

Military wise nilfgard and skileg have their shit together. As for the other military mights, they pale in comparison to both.

@@ericv.christian201 yeah, the sea is theirs. Gods take putty on those who want to invade the skeleg isles
Great video man, hoping for more Nilfgaard videos in the future.
Coehoorn. Forever a Nilfgaardian. Forever a Soldier.
As someone who doesn't play the games, I truly appreciate the videos you make with book references. Thank you! 😀
why not play the games?
One of the coolest characters!
Great video as always!
Recently finished listening to the witcher audio books, and suddenly, these biographics seems even more interesting :)
George one of these days you have to do Brenna.
One of these days I definitely will aha!
Awesome video! Would love to see the music you use in the description, they often sound familiar but i can't place my finger on it.
I'm reading the final book of the series lady of the lake right now. Great video 👍
Great video man!
Thanks mate!

Another great, entertaining video, mate.
He is one of my favourites
And he got whacked by Zoltan. For Caleb Straton!
Big fan of the lore videos, also was wondering do you play stand alone gwent?
Have you got that potions/oils/bombs lore video in the works? There’s plenty to work with there across the books and all three games .
Great video, George.
Btw, what is the OST that plays at 0:45?
YES!!! ANOTHER ONE!!!
Funny, I just had a feeling he was someone really special first time I got his gwent card
I don't understand politics, so during the Battle of Brenna chapter, I'm firmly within the wheelhouse of the medics and just wonder "What the fuck is going on?!"
Wonder if his name was taken from historical character Menno van Coehoorn. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menno_van_Coehoorn
How do you get those B-Roll shots of the witcher scenery? Is that a PC only option?
It's a mod. So yes.
Bart // Robo is there a specific mod he uses
Bart // Robo this would make an EPIC screensaver LOL

Wait a sec, i thought ardal aep dahy was the one who ordered aderin burned. At least that is what we were told in thronebreaker.

No, quite sure they say that Dahy was only following orders.
You should do video about Lambert or Eskel if there is no such video
Fringilla Vigo would be more...Milf-guardian. 🤣
How about a land of a thousand fables video
Best gwent card
Great video, George, as usuall. :)
btw, coud u make a videon on Milva? she's one of my favorit characters. :)
The archer?
Definitely at some point!
@@WitcherGeorge Thanks mate. :)
@@mgmmaze Yeah! :)
@@adrianjohansson8937 ya she is bad ass
Does anyone know who is Geralt's father?
Wasn’t it dryads who shot the nilfgards first
still weird to see some one with the same name as me its no common in my own country let alone outside haha
The fact that i cant enter that huge nilfgaardian camp in The Witcher 3 is blasphemy

I think the sorceresses helped the nordlings .
Watched this while I'm replaying the Witcher 3 for the fourth time.
PRAISE THE BLACK SUN!
Why he look like Orlando Bloom or Like Evans? 😂
Im always happy with all things Nilfgaard.
Do you have a source of your avatar?
E'er y Glòir!
