Moral of the story :
Do not attack the North

[englishhousecarl]

First men = Celts
Andals = Anglo-saxons
Targeryans = Normans/ William the Conqueror

[aegonii]

You forgot about King Tristifer’s badass nickname “The Hammer of Justice”.

I now understand why the Northeners are so distrustful and so different from the other kingdoms. It makes sense that the Stark men don't do well when they go south.

"Baldrick the Cunning" Gotta love those Blackadder jokes from GRRM.

They should make a show about this, it’ll be awesome and similar to the last kingdom

[gerardjagroo]

The Stark and the Martells are the best House. When one Southern kingdom after another falling to the invaders, the Starks absolutely slaughtered the Andals when they tried to invade the North, with Theon "The Hungry Wolf" Stark invading the invaders and nailing their heads to the prows of his ships.
The Martells of Dorne were the only ones to successfully preserve their independence from the attempted conquests of the Targaryens. The Targs finally gave up and inter married with them bringing them into the fold.

The North and Dorne are the absolute best.

"Baldric the Cunning" that is just... brilliant

Its interesting because looking at The Andal invasion and the Theology of the Andals it seems that The Faith of the Seven was specifically created to religiously justify the Andal Invasion of Westeros.

[stoneheart]

The Starks are the best. They don't need dragons, gold, or cruelity to rule the North. They just need to be descent and just.

[CyberJoeyO]

The North and Dorne favor any defending force, because the land itself is a fortress.

Even if an invading army lands unopposed. The invading army will soon start to drop like flies because the North is bitter cold and mostly barren, and Dorne is scorching hot as well as mostly barren.

Also to invade lands is one thing. To actually hold the lands is another. The Young Dragon (Targaryen) “succeeded” in conquering Dorne, until his army returned to King’s Landing.

I love CivivilizationX's videos! I remember more things from them than I have learned in school!

[davidking]

i feel that the orange used to mark the stormlands and the yellow used to mark dorne should be switched.

[lonestarwolfentertainment]

I wonder how different Westeros would be if the Andals never invaded (since Aegon The Conqueror and House Targareyen would still show up anyway)

[enmashadow]

So, my question is, if the north stayed independent from the Andals, that means that northerners kept their language and their so, why they speak the same language? Why the northerners speak the andals language?

CivilizationEx Are you planing on doing the elder scrolls series anytime soon?

[ZendikarMage]

Gotta love the cheeky Black Adder references

[efjay]

So "English" in Gerorge R R Martin's works might be called "Andalis" since it is from the Andals.
