Mark is such a brilliant strategist. His tactical genius is so brilliant in fact that even his enemies are confused of his display of utterly disasterous incompetence when it comes to strategy.
Mark literally chose the worst possible matchups for those poor ducks lol. The reaction to him realizing that he'd matched them up against John Wick was great
Start: 2:35 duck1:i will kill you >:] duck2:Come here >:D Mark:*Questing and laughing about what they just said* Duck3:Don't make me come over here! >:) End: 2:43
Mark, you failed once you enlisted into the Duckforce. Plenty of troops had heard of the infamously masochistic general whose lack of adhd medicine and obsession with winning led to the now-extinct squirrel squadrons’s defeat during the Fite of ‘87.
There's this thing in RTS's called 'Attack Move'. It's different than normally moving a unit somewhere, because it makes them attack whatever other enemy unit they come across along the way. If you used 'Attack Move' instead of 'Move', they wouldn't have just gone to one place & stayed there
The truly incredible tactics and feats of General Duckiplier: Somehow getting himself outflanked and surrounded while attempting to flank zombies, Ordering ducks to attack tanks, deploying 1000000 ducks on a mountainside only for half of them to fall to their death before the battle begins, and by far his greatest accomplishment, removing the ducks and becoming god to smite the enemies himself.
Imagine taking a walk in a beautiful green field. Peace and comfort as you walk. Suddenly, you hear the thunderous smacks of webbed feet, 10s of 1000s of them. You turn around and see ducks waddling to you, with their horrifying cries of “don’t make me come over there!” You know this is the end, but in a measly attempt of freedom, you run to the closest grocery store. All you think is, “I’m gonna need a hell of a lot of bread.” Beautiful.
Mark's incompetence in RTS has been a perfect example of Sun Tzu's divide and conquer, except applied to his singular braincell. He divided... and his enemies conquered. Mark's feathery friends relied on him, trusted him and he let them down in the worst possible way... namely, that Mark only supplied each duck with a foam helmet. Mark could have trained the ducks in combat, but instead he attempted to Miyagi them by showing them the kungfu in their every day lives... By making them think that pecking toes is a viable combat technique. Mark, are you ashamed of yourself? You thought ducks could win against egg laying hens, despite hens outweighing ducks by 3 pounds. You underestimated the sheer rage and violence of chickens and it cost the lives of hundreds of brave ducks.
The battlefield is littered with the consequences of your mistakes Mark. You sent these ducks to die. They had families, children even. Your misjudgment as a general, and your sheer inability to play RTS has sent all of these ducks to their doom. The battlefield is coated with their scarlet stained feathers, the few survivors of the zombie war will never recover Mark. What have you done
After an in depth analysis of this video and even more Mark’s request I needed inspiration to critique his battle style. I decided to turn to Sun Tzu’s The Art Of War. After reading cover to cover I found numerous incompetent misjudgment, and impulsive stupidity. Starting with basic formation strategies, and planning. Mark chose a “block” or “in line” formation to attack. This is most commonly recognizable from the civil war or pre modern warfare. Best for ranged attacks with non fully automatic rifles to simulate rapid fire by having each line of soldiers take turns firing, and ducking down to reload. However Mark selected this for a mass Guerilla melee warfare which quite frankly is an affront to the god of war Athena. Not only was it luck based it relied on strength with troops who had everything but. His duck platoon had higher attack rate, better concealment ability, and even moderately comparable speed. A better tactic would have been a distraction of about 10% of his troops in a reverse arrow formation to surround the block formation of the zombie horde. Along the distance to the battle use 30% for scattered ambushes, formatted to isolate, and execute small clusters of zombies, all groups holding parts of 50% as backup for each group to take out any following zombies who might have seen the ambush Once the numbers have been weakened and the horde is close enough to the 10% have what remains of the 70% ambush teams to flank the horde, with the last 20% funneling the sides out to flatten, and divide the hoard. This will take advantage of the duck’s numbers, and most valuable physical assets. Next is the war of the mind. This is an easy win as zombies already lack brain function, and ducks are known to be smarter, and more intuitive than most water dwelling birds. This allows for better local and on the fly strategy not to mention being “battle ducks” it implies previous field training. The zombies will be over confident seeing a lone horde of ducks secretly amassing only 10% of the duck’s full forces. Even more a conflict of emotion will befall the hordes as some worry about their slowly decreasing number while those closer to the center maintain confidence allowing for them to fall into the trap like lemmings. A divide of panic and overconfidence will brew to cause internal conflicts being waged on top of the slaughter that will befall the poor zombie hordes. This strategy titans over Mark's pitiful strategy of… Jack shit. He showed his weakness in leadership upfront with formation giving the zombies righteous confidence as they rush a block of weak and defenseless ducks with no plan. The best strategy was the predictable “flank em” maneuver that was not pre planned, and was never even fully completed resulting in an absolute atrocity of war strategy that I was offended by just watching. Please mark. Never join the military. You are a danger to your platoon, squadron, or otherwise. Before someone says something, this was written as a joke, just for fun.
I literally laughed out loud when Lixian "threw" the thumbnail into Mark's head. Like, I love the working relationship these two dorks have with each other. It cracks me up and makes me very happy
Mark out here perfectly impersonating real military generals "oh woe is me, all these hundreds of thousands sent to die for no reason but I will pretend it was for a cause THEY BELIEVED IN and I am so sad"
It's actually untrue. The Fall of Rome for example was largely recorded by Roman scholars. It can be the case the victors rewrite history but often times scholars keep historical record good and bad as accurately as possible especially in the old days where they wanted everything to be remembered and valued knowledge of the past.

Mark gave a move command to all of these ducks behind enemy lines. They were ordered to walk THROUGH THE ENEMY BATTALIONS TO GET BEHIND THEM, WITHOUT ACTUALLY ATTACKING THEM. It's like a reverse surprise attack

Fun fact about the mantis shrimp IRL: it has the strongest punch (in proportion to its size) of the entire animal kingdom. Its punching arm accelerates about as fast a .22 caliber bullet. Imma do some math here, for fun. The punch it delivers has about 1.5 kN of force behind it, and it weighs up to 90 grams. The average human weighs 62 kg, which is 688 times as much. That means that if humans could punch as hard as mantis shrimps, we would be able to deliver punches with about 1 MN, or 1000 kN, or 1.000.000 newton of force. That's enough to punch a rocket into space. Not sure it would get there in one piece, but that's a problem for later
Their punches break the sound barrier! They create little sonic booms behind their claws when they punch. If you keep one as a pet it's recommended that you get a tank with special thick coated glass in case they try to punch it. I have a friend who owns one. They are beautiful and super cool little dudes. Their eyes also have twelve cone cells where ours only have three (rgb), so they can see all sorts of wavelengths of light that we can't even imagine seeing! I'm an artist, so this fact always boggles my mind. Just the possibilities! Butterflies can see UV, cats can see UV and infrared I believe...but the mantis shrimp really tops the charts with its twelve cone cells. I'm sure that's probably why they are so colorful themselves.
21:15 Marks horrified shock at the ducks vanishing in a wave of tank muzzle flashes is amazing like a man realizing a truth he’s know for so long is so effortlessly debunked
In fairness, when I hear Sherman after seeing Tesla and Wick, I assumed it would just be a bunch of clones of the WW2 US Army brass fighting with riding crops
Mantis Shrimp are actually terrifying in reality. They literally punch their prey to death. The speed of their punch is comparable to that of a bullet leaving the barrel of a gun. It creates so much friction in the water, it makes bubbles.
The strategy he tried to do with the Persians like Thermopylae is like the only strategy that give the Persians the advantage... Slow clap but high admiration for general Markiplier 😂🤣
me, a classical musician: dying over all the classical songs lixian used throughout the video and literally crying over how i can identify what piece is playing behind mark’s speech lixian probably: i just thought it was funny
Fire_Wolf_33 ? I am not sure if this should be encouraged. I will admit it's very entertaining. But not for the poor Ducks that are being enlisted into battle! Oh no! I'm picturing Ducks doing a Peace March and just getting run over by Mark's car as he's screaming "Duck War Propaganda!"
I am not really stopping it eithor@@fire_wolf_3336, But I am trying to keep myself from thinking about how many diffrent strands of Insanity have been used in this. I am also very surprised though that Mark when the Armor was shining in the sunlight (30:21) did not think about Lady Dimitrescu with Dragon scale armor drop land on the battleground. Oh god... That one battle where every Duck flys away, every soldiers sprints to hide (because they know better then to take an Vampire Amazon) I sadly see Markiplier would roll out in a "Tank"/ van with camera with a Big lens scope. Mark: "Dam!!!!!!! I must have gotten lost back from where ever I was, but I'm not disappointed" (camera zooms into take picture of her face) One thing is for sure: That will hurt him plenty!
It didn't register in my head what Mantis Shrimp were, until i saw them. They're the ones capable of punching at super speed, faster than a bullet, and can boil water around them.
Fun Fact : The Impact Force of a Mantis Shrimp's Punch is Roughly Equal to that of a .22 Caliber Bullet from a Pistol. The Punch is so hard in fact, that it BOILS The Sea Water surrounding The Shrimp's Claw. [5:37]
While it is true that the water boils when a mantis shrimp punch, it is from low pressures, not high temperatures. Its claw closes so fast that the water can't fill in the space behind it fast enough. This leaves a vacuum bubble behind, in which the boiling temperature of water is near 0 degrees Kelvin. This causes the water to boil until the bubble can close again. This same effect can happen when a boat's propellor spins at high speed - it's called cavitation.
1,716,577 ducks died under General Markiplier’s command in the great duck wars that only lasted 40 minutes What a tragic waste of ducky life Note: this is assuming all ducks present died when he quit early abandoning the ducky massacres and counting all that actually died during the battle that the ducks won Note 2: that is a rate of 42,915 ducks/second
Man I love how lixian catches on to what mark wants his "lixian character" to do. like that thing at the start where mark goes "ow", i assume lixian caught on and animated something "hitting" mark without asking mark directly what he wanted it to look like. Real good editor-creator relationship going on here.
Flanking the zombie line with More ducks is really a good idea. The ducks on each side of the line can work towards the center of the line of zombies, and also having ducks Infront of the zombie hoard helps them to prevent the zombies reforming their troops into a different shape to help with their defense.
Damn, Mark is getting SO good on his humor with Lixian. At the core, Mark likes to act, and Lixian has spent so much time becoming the comedic editing foil to Mark that they don't even think about struggling to cooperate. Seriously, Relationship Goals right here.
I love how mark just completely denies the inadequacies of the duck army. He also respects them and is thoughtful of their families despite them being... well ducks, who frequent my dinner table.

I love how Mark just improvises conversations with Lixian, and even acts them out as in depth as to move his head forward so that Lixian can edit in throwing something at him! Those bits are super clever and funny.
Its hysterical how our ancestors lost one single battle, took no effect from it yet still get mocked to this day by it even though the empire itself lasted 900 years more after thermopylae
Today we remember the sacrifice those honorable ducks made for our country, lest we forget the struggle they endured, the long-fought battle for peace. 10/10 would duck again.
"They said I made far to many speeches, and not enough orders" *continues to make a speech while a large portion of his ducks are just standing around*
The battle of blood valley was a bloody mess. A truly devastating battle The zombies may have had the advantage of much stronger troops but they were lazy in tactical terms. The massively large numbers of ducks and flanking monoivers had given them an advantage but once the zombies breached the western line and then the east... the slaughter had commenced...
Mark is such a brilliant strategist. His tactical genius is so brilliant in fact that even his enemies are confused of his display of utterly disasterous incompetence when it comes to strategy.

That means that if humans could punch as hard as mantis shrimps, we would be able to deliver punches with about 1 MN, or 1000 kN, or 1.000.000 newton of force. That's enough to punch a rocket into space. Not sure it would get there in one piece, but that's a problem for later
Their punches break the sound barrier! They create little sonic booms behind their claws when they punch. If you keep one as a pet it's recommended that you get a tank with special thick coated glass in case they try to punch it. I have a friend who owns one. They are beautiful and super cool little dudes.
Their eyes also have twelve cone cells where ours only have three (rgb), so they can see all sorts of wavelengths of light that we can't even imagine seeing! I'm an artist, so this fact always boggles my mind. Just the possibilities! Butterflies can see UV, cats can see UV and infrared I believe...but the mantis shrimp really tops the charts with its twelve cone cells. I'm sure that's probably why they are so colorful themselves.
That’s actually sick. Thank you for the fun fact(s)
Considering the surface area of our fists, with that amount of force the pressure causes the fist to go right through the rocket
That’s so interesting thank you all for sharing
to be more precise they do 100kg pressure in a 2millimeter surface
21:15 Marks horrified shock at the ducks vanishing in a wave of tank muzzle flashes is amazing like a man realizing a truth he’s know for so long is so effortlessly debunked
I like that the 100 auto-shermans was an exponentially more efficient field-wipe than the Noah's Flood god power lol. It was just so _immediate_
Just
*_gone_*
Absolutely liquidated those ducks. Down to the last speck of protein in their eyelashes.
Gone, reduced to atoms
Mark: I'm sorry ducks I'm just curious what a full auto Sherman does
The Sherman: 'a literature wall of fire and steel'
A pyroclastic flow of high-explosive shells
you know literature refers to writing
In fairness, when I hear Sherman after seeing Tesla and Wick, I assumed it would just be a bunch of clones of the WW2 US Army brass fighting with riding crops
*literal*?

Mantis Shrimp are actually terrifying in reality. They literally punch their prey to death. The speed of their punch is comparable to that of a bullet leaving the barrel of a gun. It creates so much friction in the water, it makes bubbles.
it makes imploding bubbles that can reach 8,500 degrees fahrenheit. so uh yeah
I’m glad someone else was here to point this out. The battle ducks never stood a chance
They can also see the secret colors that have been forbidden to us humans.
They also have a 12 cone vision.
Humans have 3.
What you experience of this world is but a tesco value budget version of what the mantis shrimp sees.
It doesn't just make bubbles it BOILS the water which is where the bubbles come from
The strategy he tried to do with the Persians like Thermopylae is like the only strategy that give the Persians the advantage... Slow clap but high admiration for general Markiplier 😂🤣
me, a classical musician: dying over all the classical songs lixian used throughout the video and literally crying over how i can identify what piece is playing behind mark’s speech
lixian probably: i just thought it was funny
Can you name them? I'd love to know what one of the pieces was towards the end
Omg same 🤣🤣 I'm not a classical musician tho, i just love classical music 🎵
@@kristinranker5791 I know Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven (or Mozart?) was in there, at 8:10
That's the only one I know lol
I feel you I was so happy when lixian was playing classical music
Do you know what piece it was at 22:00
Maybe you should lead for the team that you want to lose
"So we're going to try an ultra realistic battle simulator today!"
a few moments later...
"Unleash the Quacken!"

@YeaMan man i have not seen you for a long time. L bot tho, can't even spell properly

I am not sure if this should be encouraged.
I will admit it's very entertaining.
But not for the poor Ducks that are being enlisted into battle!
Oh no!
I'm picturing Ducks doing a Peace March and just getting run over by Mark's car as he's screaming "Duck War Propaganda!"
^
@@AngelicHalfblood I wasn't encouraging it per say, just not stopping it
I am not really stopping it eithor@@fire_wolf_3336,
But I am trying to keep myself from thinking about how many diffrent strands of Insanity have been used in this.
I am also very surprised though that Mark when the Armor was shining in the sunlight (30:21) did not think about Lady Dimitrescu with Dragon scale armor drop land on the battleground.
Oh god...
That one battle where every Duck flys away, every soldiers sprints to hide (because they know better then to take an Vampire Amazon) I sadly see Markiplier would roll out in a "Tank"/ van with camera with a Big lens scope.
Mark: "Dam!!!!!!! I must have gotten lost back from where ever I was, but I'm not disappointed" (camera zooms into take picture of her face)
One thing is for sure:
That will hurt him plenty!
I love when Mark 'talks' to Lixian, because editing it must be so awkward. Because I just imagine Lixian answering his questions as he edits.
I imagine Mark acting like he got hit by his own video and then Lixian just makes a whole conversation out of it
I love it
It makes his videos so good though lol
Someone sees a blood lake:"i am about to puke"
Markiplier sees a blood lake:" that's pretty cool"
Mark: *Looks at Ducks*
Mark: “Why are they just sitting there!”
My Brain: *sitting ducks*

It didn't register in my head what Mantis Shrimp were, until i saw them. They're the ones capable of punching at super speed, faster than a bullet, and can boil water around them.
Yup. That's the reason I wanna own one. I just gotta make sure I get a tank large enough with thick enough walls lol
@@thegamingwitch your gonna end up like the ducks.
They’re the ones that basically have guns for claws, right?
Im thinking of the ones that fire super deadly bubbles
@@sadflix8754 yeah that's the one
honestly they seem like something out of an anime its crazy
@@sadflix8754 I think thats a different one. Mantis Shrimps just punch really hard, that noe closes it's claw hard to create super deadly bubbles
Fun Fact : The Impact Force of a Mantis Shrimp's Punch is Roughly Equal to that of a
.22 Caliber Bullet from a Pistol. The Punch is so hard in fact, that it BOILS The Sea Water surrounding The Shrimp's Claw. [5:37]
22 Caliber bullet actually, but thats just the speed, they can punch with a force of 15,000 newtons
@Zoomer Stasi Was it soft? Pft
While it is true that the water boils when a mantis shrimp punch, it is from low pressures, not high temperatures. Its claw closes so fast that the water can't fill in the space behind it fast enough. This leaves a vacuum bubble behind, in which the boiling temperature of water is near 0 degrees Kelvin. This causes the water to boil until the bubble can close again. This same effect can happen when a boat's propellor spins at high speed - it's called cavitation.
I love how mark just straight up abuses his power with Lixian and it’s the funniest thing I have ever seen 😂
1,716,577 ducks died under General Markiplier’s command in the great duck wars that only lasted 40 minutes
What a tragic waste of ducky life
Note: this is assuming all ducks present died when he quit early abandoning the ducky massacres and counting all that actually died during the battle that the ducks won
Note 2: that is a rate of 42,915 ducks/second
Geez
u mean per minute not second
@@gatopcz992do you really think he’ll change it tho?
And you forgot to mention how many kill the duck got. Wich... Are not good numbers either.
Can we appreciate what an incredible orchestra director is Lixian...
the timing and choice of "Moonlight Sonata" broke me as a resident evil fan
we can and we will
Markiplier: “Those duck’s deserve to have there own leader.”
Also Mark: “Could I be the most neglect leader?”

Lol xDD
25:58 Mark definitely put it wrong 😅 It's vice-versa, the Battle Ducks should be were the Persians are.
Man I love how lixian catches on to what mark wants his "lixian character" to do. like that thing at the start where mark goes "ow", i assume lixian caught on and animated something "hitting" mark without asking mark directly what he wanted it to look like. Real good editor-creator relationship going on here.
Such great moments
Mark really had so much faith in these “battle” ducks that couldn’t even take out a normal chicken.
Those chickens launched eggs... idk how that's normal 🤣
@@joshlahti1 They be FREE-RANGED chickens
@@alepenagorbe9135 Yeah, they got a pretty good range with those eggs...
I've never met a chicken that would willingly launch her egg like a yolky grenade, let alone is physically capable of it.
Chickens that have an automatic grenade launcher for a cloaca...
Last time I checked, "normal" chickens don't have a Mk19 for a doodoo kazoo.

@@boluz113 good that's one less loose end
thats a good quote tho no cap
I think you mean markiplius
That was actually a really great line
I think my favourite part is Mark controlling the ducks and putting them on defence mode so they don't actually fight and just run to their deaths
Behdjeie
Was going to comment this. It's funny, poor ducks.
14:02
I cant believe that the ducks have their voice lines. The duck saying "ill kill you" made me laugh so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mark: gives ducks numerical advantage
Also Mark: Uses no numerical advantage tactics

"Oh my god it's John Wick!"
*proceeds to rain down a hellfire of John Wick action"
Captain- The Multiverse Is Riddled With The Bodies Of Our Mistakes.
Mark- *laughs in duck massacre*
Ducks fighting zombies oh that's cool,
"Close fight", mark: RTS mode. Me: ah yes smart thinking. Mark: leaves ducks on defense and not click attack. Thiers your criticism mark lol
Flanking the zombie line with More ducks is really a good idea. The ducks on each side of the line can work towards the center of the line of zombies, and also having ducks Infront of the zombie hoard helps them to prevent the zombies reforming their troops into a different shape to help with their defense.
I like how this video just quickly morphed into the “Markiplier sends Battle Ducks to their imminent Death!”
"I probably the most negligent that ever lived"
Mark said with a smile on his face.
Damn, Mark is getting SO good on his humor with Lixian. At the core, Mark likes to act, and Lixian has spent so much time becoming the comedic editing foil to Mark that they don't even think about struggling to cooperate.
Seriously, Relationship Goals right here.
Mark’s Battle Plan: “The enemy will kill so many of us that they will die from exhaustion… and that is why I am King”
Mark: "I'm not a masochist"
Also mark: " leave a comment telling me how bad I did. I'll pick the winner based on how bad my feelings get hurt"
I love how mark just completely denies the inadequacies of the duck army. He also respects them and is thoughtful of their families despite them being... well ducks, who frequent my dinner table.

I absolutely NEED to know the name of the song at 31:00 ...

I love how Mark just improvises conversations with Lixian, and even acts them out as in depth as to move his head forward so that Lixian can edit in throwing something at him! Those bits are super clever and funny.
As a Duck myself, I feel like this game does not represent how powerful we really are.
I love mark's and Lixian's interactions

Me, a Persian, watching my ancestors get slaughtered by battle ducks: My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY 😂
How in the goddamn world he decided to choose Persians THAT round
Its hysterical how our ancestors lost one single battle, took no effect from it yet still get mocked to this day by it even though the empire itself lasted 900 years more after thermopylae
Just like me🤝
@@theinternetlawyer7126 the Persians won the battle of Thermopylae.
@@CommanderNissan they didnt even fucking lose, that just makes it so much worse.
Today we remember the sacrifice those honorable ducks made for our country, lest we forget the struggle they endured, the long-fought battle for peace. 10/10 would duck again.

Chunk Norris is actually immortal. He has something like 10 billion health and if it gets too low he just regenerates
Correct
In other words not only cant the battle ducks beat 10000 of them, they cant beat 1 of him.
14:15 what you did wrong: You commanded the ducks to move, but let them stay static at their destination instead of setting them on attack
"They said I made far to many speeches, and not enough orders"
*continues to make a speech while a large portion of his ducks are just standing around*
The battle of blood valley was a bloody mess. A truly devastating battle The zombies may have had the advantage of much stronger troops but they were lazy in tactical terms. The massively large numbers of ducks and flanking monoivers had given them an advantage but once the zombies breached the western line and then the east... the slaughter had commenced...
