Guys, I need your help.
The channel's subscriber base and especially my views are extremely low, in my opinion.

For some unidentified reason, HEB seems to be within an algorithmic "limbo" that makes the videos invisible not only to a wider audience but to the channel's own audience.

On average, only a third of the channel's current subscribers are watching the latest videos, and I really can't understand why.

Commenting, liking and especially sharing the video will help immensely not only the continuation of this channel but its further improvement.
So, I kindly request you to help me in this quest of expanding HEB's audience.

Thank you very much for sticking around and for listening.

Great video, I love all graphics. A few suggestions to improve:
- Show a larger overall map at start to show where locations are compared to the whole Greek world. Helps comprehends it all.
- A little background info on the war, quick catch up on previous battles, where the war stands at this moment.
- Explain the demographics of who's involved, Ionians, Dorian, Danaans, Macedonians etc.?

Your style is great and unique to all the other channels, but be great not to neglect the other crucial parts to a good battle video, a nice map, a little background info, who's involved, the purpose of the war etc. explaining it all. Just my opinion.

The camera movements are smoother and more concentrated, clearly you have put a lot of effort and it shows.

Great depiction, always love your 3D work

Another wonderful video! I'm glad you take the time to describe the state of politics before the battle starts. The context makes it so much more intriguing!

What 3D software do you use? Great work by the way.

I haven’t been able to watch this video until now because I’ve been away, but I’m still commenting for the algorithm because more people need to see these awesome videos.

[collintrytsman]

History marche sent me your way. I have done quite a few searches and haven’t had your videos pop up. Quality work, and I just found a lot of new material!

[alvaroyance]

Great, the way you talk or speak about this battle. Smooth. Clear and the background music.

The animation of Themistocles arguing is really well done but the Spartan commander just looked dead inside. My suggestion would've been to make him look like he's pondering or something similar. Although I criticize you on this the animations as a whole are really well done!

[cristiterminator]

amazing video, extremely informative, the animation has improved triemndously

[parhim]

Beautifuly covered!
Can't wait for the battle of Plataea
