Knowing next to nothing about this war, these battle reports are really tense and engaging, making me wonder what is going to happen and who is going to win; well done! :D

Another exceptional video made by one of the best channels about military history. Proud to be here since the start of the original WSS series.

This is the level of detail I've been looking for in military history. What an excellent channel!

[MrFudge-nuyd]

I feel that this war is heavily underrated and should be studied and spoken about more. Thanks a lot for making a detailed series on this conflict ❤.

The Prince of Conti (1664-1709), nephew of Condé was a talented officer who could have been very useful for France in a higher command in this war. He had already proven himself during the previous war under Marshal Luxembourg, but Louis XIV had a massive grudge against him whch prevented higher advancement while imcompetents like Villeroy were given command based on childhood friendship despite repeated embarrassments. Always been curious to see how he would have performed, but anyways, good job!

I congratulate you on the release of the new video!

Long live the Irish Brigades exiles but not forgotten by Irish people today !

After the excellent first episode. I am ready to binge a new series over a topic I know little about.

[roykay]

Just beginning the series. Great start.

[kastraskammer]

Great Videos. I always find it most interesting how lesser known commanders like commercy and visconti conduct themselves

[KhansDen]

Good narration, good maps, and especially good use of MUSIC. Something that many history channels neglect unfortunately. Adds so much to the atmosphere. Keep it up!

This man deserves more views and subscribers

excellent video, also interesting to see how many Habsburg commanders and troops were from Lorraine, Franche Comte and other French speaking regions of the Empire. Eventhough national identity was a blurry concept, I always wondered how they felt fighting against French armies speaking the same language as them. Dunno if you had any interesting source about this to recommend :)

This was the war that brought down LouisXIV France. It feels like a smaller scale of what happened exactly 100 years later 1800-1815: France expands its borders to unacceptable limits, everyone jumps in to push it back. I think The reign of LouisXIV saw the old forms of warfare; gunners and polearms Landsknechts replaced by all Musket bayonet infantry.

I had the volume up loud for effect listening on my drive while on vacation when this premiered. This was awesome!

[fedecano]

hey another one I didnt watch before great! There has been a steady improvement in the level of videos you are putting ut. The editing, narration and animation seem to be better in each one and its nice to see your skills growing. Congratulations, will definetly keep watching your content! Hope you get to 10k subs in no time and then 100k, I think you deserve it. I know this make take a long time to put together, probably on the "10s of hour range" for each episode, but if you keep uploading videos I think the subs will come, there's plenty of people around looking for good history channels like this!
