I plan on it!

lol

Thanks for your comment! I'm sorry if you got the impression that I was trying to unify the southern Greeks into a singular entity. My intention was to compare the different situations that each were faced with. As the southern Greek city states had many similarities to each other; Military Tactics, Religion, Geography. While the Macedonian Greeks had vastly different Geography and were surrounded on 3/4 of there sides by "Barbarians". The Macedonians also used vastly different military tactics not adopting the Phalanx until under the reign of Philip II. But you are right, after rereading my script I can see how someone could easily get the impression I was referring to them as a more unified entity, I will be sure to pay more attention to this in the future, thank you.

@kingdomofhistory1 Thank you for your truly learned response. And for not having taken my observation, which was written in good faith, as a criticism for the whole truly excellent work. Best wishes for the New Year!

Thanks, I'll work on it

Photoshop, I take a White World Shaded Relief map and then Color it and add political borders.

@@kingdomofhistory1 oh okay thanks

Can you let me know your sources for this. I have no information stating that he ever controlled Dardania or Epirus?

@kingdomofhistory1 He was asked by the dardanians to lead them, he was the king of enchalei-dessareti, prior to war with macedon he had subdued all greeks up to Aetolia

Excellent, commendable work. I do have one objection though: the repeated mention of "the Greeks", in a way that it might sound that Macedonia and "Greece" where two different entities. The fact is, that there was no unified Greece at the time, the race of the Hellenes consisted of a plentitude of independent City States, sharing a common Ethnicity, language, worshiping the same Gods etc. The fact that they were fighting amongst them, creating alliances etc., was a historical truth, but that was how things were at the time. Philip's greatest achievement in my view was to unite all these City States one way or another and thus form the so called "Hellenic League", under the commandership of the City State of Macedonia (the militarily strongest Hellenic City State at the time), the main objective being, through the concept of synergy (1+1=3), to deal with the Persian threat once and for all. His son Alexander went on to achieve this goal and spread the Hellenic civilization to the then known World.

lol , the molossos ruled EPIRUS

I made them myself.

It’s called Agent by Ben Hayden, it’s available for free on filmstro.

My main source for this comes from Diodorus Siculus' Library of History. When he recounts the events he states, "Philip his brother, who had escaped from his detention as a hostage, succeeded to the kingdom." this can be found at the end of 2.4.

I will most definitely be making this a series, I plan on it being a 4 part covering all his major battles.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I would say Philip was just as capable if not more than his son. Alexander was at the head of an army that Phillip trained and built. Phillip made it possible for Alexander to be the Great.

@kaiza9184 Agreed, however I don't think if Philip invaded Persia instead of Alexander he would be as bold, he would have taken a peace to consolidate his holdings and definitely would have taken the marriage. Just my thoughts however, would have been a more stable empire

@@kaisertog7685 You’re right about that. Phillip was very patient and calculated. I don’t think he would have invaded Persia. If he did he I also believe it would have been very stable under his leadership. The world might have been a little different if Phillip was never assassinated. 😬

I feel Alexander is so focused on. People generally forget about Philip.

The Huns set of a massive chain reaction by there conquests.

I just responded to your email, I apologize.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think the same for his father Antigonus, They both were constantly fighting coalitions.

Thanks, I don’t have a discord right now, but I’m considering making one sometime soon.

Thanks for your comment. Can you let me know which texture you’re referencing? As far as I know all my textures I have either made or have come from free online sources.

I am also a creator and want to make maps like you, can you guide me. Looking forward.for your response

I make all my maps in Photoshop, but there are plenty of other good free alternatives if you don't want to pay for it. For my political maps I use an Esri Shaded Relief map which is free online to get the physical features. Then I color the terrain, mountains brown, Grass green, Deserts a lighter brown. Then I add my political borders or cities and names. For my battle maps I have a few texture I can use for the ground and then most of the assets I have built myself. However if you are looking to make battle maps quickly I would suggest Inkarnate I personally don't use it but it is a free website and can get you pretty good results quickly. For Political maps I would suggest using a program like Qgis which is free (I personally use) to get base maps, you can then export them into your video editing software to add your animations. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
