One of the best examples of a real life game of thrones that I've seen. It's fascinating to see the big picture surrounding these events.

I hate how effective the feigned retreat tactic is, it always works.

Fact : The last monarch of Romania, Mihai I of Romania (1921-2017) was named after ...Mihai Viteazul (Michael The Brave)

[AntoniuDraculea]

Michael's resources were almost completely depleated after the impressive but serious campaigns he fough.

He knew chasing Basta the way he did was very risky but he needed to score a decisive victory then and there because he had little chance in a drawn out conflict.

So Michael, a proven and experienced, very good strategist, took the risk and chased hoping it will work.

Sadly, it didn't. But it was a risk he nonetheless had to take.

A video on the Crimean khanate and the nature of their relationship with the ottomans would be interesting

What i learned from this channel so far:
1. Don't chase Turkic armies, they feign retreat and will make you shit your pee.
2. Don't go in to mountain passes, Bulgarian ambushers will make your scull a drinking cup.
3. Don't be a Byzantine enemy, nobility or basilius. You will end up puking your guts or with a dagger in your back.
4. Don't let your soldiers loot, by the sight of gold coins they become morons.
5. Don't trust a vassal... like ever... you will be betrayed!
6. If you hear throat singing... you are done! say your prayers.
7. Never become a cocky French crusader fighting in the Holy lands or the Balkans.

The story of Michael the Brave is fascinating.

I love the level of details in your maps

I'm tingling with anticipation for the following year, 1601 is the siege of Kanije in Hungary, one of the few instances where the Ottomans found themselves besieged rather than being the besiegers and managed to rout an Austrian army nearly 7 times larger than their own thanks to a Bosnian coffee crackhead named Tıryaki Hasan Pasha who brilliantly lead the defense and suicidal yet successful charge against the Austrians towards the end.

Excellent documentary, well presented and... quite factual. Thanks.

Before the main reigns of Radu Mihnea, one of Mihai's governors and confidants, Radu Serban, was Wallachia Prince for almost 10 years, and he defeated the Tatar armies and twice the armies of the Transylvanian principality. He also supported Saxon's rebellions in Transylvania. So the reign of MIhai in Wallachia has some continuity (the military leaders were again the Buzescu brothers and some of the Mihai captains as Marza and Ratz).

Romania truly was an amazing defender, it's why their over 4000 year old culture still exists

Still, in these days Hungarians are not our allies, there are two faced people. - Vlad the Impaler quote.
