"The taking of Jerusalem was widely acknowledged as brutal even by medieval standards." Now that's brutal!

Raymond's priest was like "This worked for Joshua a few miles east and thousands of years ago... JERICHO ROUND TWO, BABY"

There is no click faster than a *"BazBattles just uploaded a new video"* click.

I think the timeline, "2 years after departing" is significant. Within 2 years of hardship and violence, as I think we see in many historical situations, an army is capable of much unpredictable atrocity and savagery. A soldier after 2 years of campaign has seen and endured things that make him a different man than a raw recruit

[Inimrahvas]

"The taking of Jerusalem was widely acknowledged as brutal even by medieval standards." Reminds me that one time Rome besieged Jerusalem. It seems every time there is a major conflict there ends up being brutal beyond belief =/

[MrBunkerboyz]

You know what is brutal? Making innocent boxes fight and break each other for no reason!

This channel is absolutely AMAZING. Love the format, good way to present this. Could you maybe do Manzikert next?

[Mafila]

When I watch your videos, I imagine playing a grand strategy game with BazBattles graphics. Just think about how awesome that would be.
