The fact that the companion cavalry fought so well despite their lack of saddles and stirrups says something about how good riders they were.

Philip is so underrated. I feel his son took a lot of his fame from him because he was the one to use his reforms and new strength. don't get me wrong, Alexander is amazing, but he takes allot of due credit from his dad.

this whole video can be summed up in just two battle cries:
-"HEAVY INFANTRY!!"
_click!_
-"FORWARD!!"

[Imperator-Carolus]

First Phillip's story, and now Alexander's tactics? Hell yeah.

[ghostinquisitor]

More battle tatics and army structure please. This is fascinating. Plus, do one for the Gauls and Germanics!

this helped me get better at total war. thank you so much

[gabrielveloso]

This video makes the understanding of Alexander's military success a lot easier. He was a great commander, but his success was mostly due to the superiority of his troops in relation to his enemies. Plus he had loyal people watching his back.

Thanks for another great video, I honestly feel bad that I can't afford to help you on patreon.

This channel is outstanding. So many of the other history channels have such elaborate visuals but aren't nearly as interesting or educational. Seriously, well done mate. You've got this absolutely nailed.

[icecoldmeat]

This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Only problem is that I️ have binge watched all your videos and now I️ have nothing. Please upload more, you’re absolutely brilliant!

3:39 the problem with this is that your leader tends to be the first one to die with this formation.

So basically Caesar shouldn't have felt bad about not conquering the world in his 20's because he didn't have someone build a whole army for him.

[Ben-zgxb]

Could you do some videos on how Rome came into possession of Iberia? I never understood very well how that happened and you are the best at explaining those things

[PicklePickle]

Can't wait until we continue through Asia minor, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Gedrosia, India and all the way to the edge of the known world! Alexander is gonna wreck shit up!

[TheHybrid]

:( <- my sadness at your videos ONLY being 11 minutes long. I get so excited when a new video of yours appears! Keep up the great quality!

- A huge fan

[alanetchetto]

I've recently have been playing "Rome total war" and I just realised that I've always been using Macedonian's tactics
... all the time(?

It is really great that this channel started presenting the ancient Hellenic/Greek History along with Roman :)

Phillip: "Oracle, will the Persian Empire be defeated?"

Oracle at Delphi:

"The bull is crowned." (Your bloodline reigns over Greece.)
"All is done." (Military preparations are in place.)
"The sacrificer is ready." (Alexander shall conquer.)
