Every time I hear these, I marvel at the detail. Forget the lore of Middle Earth or World of Warcraft. This is a thousand years of detailed military, political and economic history that NEVER HAPPENED. It reads like an actual social studies class! Bravo!

A young Alexander Kerensky gets on the HPG network for the first time, Space Googles his own name, and after a minute of reading the first entry, leans backs and says "well I gotta fix that." The rest is history.

This continued coverage of BT functional prehistory is a treasure beyond measure.

This is the exact content to fill in the empty hollow feeling after getting exposed to the majestic Battletech lore after playing Battletech. The games left me feeling that there is a much larger world behind what the game presents and this series and you have been delivering the lore beyond.

Thank you for all the work you do presenting the Battletech universe for us. I hope you keep it up and know we truly appreciate it. I was born too late and missed the Battletech era of the 80s and 90s so this kind of content is perfect for me to really flesh out the universe.

i love how an entire faction almost voted themselves out of existence because they didnt want to deal with two governments

The Star League, as seen by the factions of 3025: "Ah, that was the Golden Age, when all of humanity was unified and everyone had peace and prosperity."
The actual Star League: "Yeah, we had like 70 years of actual peace, as a brief interlude between the centuries of war on either side."
I genuinely appreciate this aspect of Battletech lore. One of the big things I've learned in studying history is that any claims of a "golden age" are bullshit. I like that as you dig deeper into the background of this setting, you see that they tell the same lies to themselves that we see told about our past.

I'm curious how dense the Amaris Civil War will be content-wise. I'm completely enthralled by the sheer precision and quality of your videos, keep it up.

[floriangallus]

Aaand, watching the whole thing again. This has quickly become my favourite channel on YouTube.

[Darkwings]

I think from all of the videos I have watched of Yours, Sven, one thing stands out. NEVER kill an Inner Sphere womans lover or you have just made an enemy that has a grudge that will never disappear. Inner Sphere women are some of the greatest powerhouses lol.

[strichar]

I don't understand why more people haven't liked this video. It's fantastic!

57:45 man I shouldn't giggle this much at just a planet's name.

[alexsola]

[devalk_]

Loving these,
thank you for making them

[PopeMetallicus]

These videos are filling in the history I most wanted to know, this is awesome

[IKMojito]

I love your stuff. You're by far my favourite battletech content creator

[tkush]

My dad got me to play mechwarrior with him when I was a child, came back to it now not realizing battletech and mechwarrior were the same thing, playing 2018s battletech while binging this playlist ! Love it and appreciate your work.

Very lore dense but as a starwars fan and a fan of Geetslys History of the republic this is RIGHT up my alley and the best way for me to learn the ins and outs of the lore!

[BaxterAndLunala]

I know it's considered non canon in Battletech, but in Mechassault Phantom War, it's revealed that the Hyperpulse Generator can be weaponized.

[wanderingpaws]

The go to man for Battletech lore is back!

[Taiko]

Awesome video as always, can't wait for the next part to come out.
