Stannis, the *Rightful Heir* to the Iron Throne. God Damned Right.

[hiddendagger]

i like how u always mention stannis as rightful heir

[seafoxx]

This video confirms that Stannis truly is the mannis.

Please answer me one simple question. Where the hell was Tyrell's 100k doomstack when the Lanister forces sacked Highgarden in S7?

[failuregreat]

crazy to think all of this came from the mind of a single person

[Rexcarsalot]

I just really wish we had a Game of Thrones Total War.

I know this is wrong but I keep reading the soldier count as being 15 men OR 20, 000 men.
Cersei: "How many people do do you command Jamie?"
Jamie: "Hmmm it could be anywhere between 14 men or 15, 000."
Cersei: "..."
Jamie: "Our house commands some weird respect, people are deserting and joining left and right."

The Vale is a hidden power, people really sleep on them but they are so strong

Correction: At 9:51 it should say AC, not BC.

Crazy that when fully united (that’ll be the day!), Westeros would be able to raise an army of almost 400k men, well over if you include the Wildlings and Night’s Watch. Only a few real life nations (pre-gunpowder) managed to reach or surpass that, like late Rome (only due to inflation of their army at the expense of quality), the Gupta and of course China.

[avarma]

i feel like that the fact the reach an dorne still have 100k men to fight the undead will be forgotten in season 8

[ojyezpp]

The North should settle the wildlings, they would make good warriors if they get better equipment.

I'd like to see a video detailling the current armies of westeros, their size, objectives amd locations, as of the beginning of winds of winter. Is there such a thing?

[locgth]

gregan stark in the dragon danse war probably raised an army upper than 50k because of the 2 years of "conscriptions" his army was described as terrifying and really huge

[bjorndevlieger]

i wonder how Westeros would be like if Eddard stark never figured out that the children of Cersei were from incest and thereby not the true children of Robert Baratheon?

[Ken]

I think the largest empires would have been on Essos.

CivEx: The Golden Company has only taken Griffin's Roost no? They're just marching on Storm's End at the end of ADWD.

Some say ned or robb caused the down fall of the starks, others blame the freys and boltons. Hell you might even put the blame on neds older brother who was trained to lead being killed by the mad king. But it truely was little finger who started the downfall of the north. He started everything because he convinced the starks that the lannisters wanted to kill brann, if it wasnt for littlefinger there would have been a good chance that robbs army could have doubled or even trippled in number due to the vale joining the war for the tullys and starks. Lets say that with the knights of the vale hed have about 45000 men in his army down in the riverlands, and lets say robb still executes karstark and doesnt marry the frey girl hed have something in the 35000 range of man most of whom would be expert cavalry. With his new army robb could probably have done a type of blitzkrieg and maybe have recaptured jamie and maybe even have dealt with tywin. All of this meant that there would have been no red wedding since he wouldnt need the freys. Robb could have won like that, he could have gone north and deal with the iron born and wildlings and protect his new realm (maybe the ruverlands and vale included) hed be in a strong enough position that the freys, boltons, lannisters and even baratheons couldnt touch him.

Tl;dr: blame little finger for robbs death

[arjinonuk]

Could you make a video about armies of essos?
