Yeah, the early books are deeply layered intrigue and deft political maneuvering combined with interesting tactics and culture. But it's obvious from the beginning that everything is gonna devolve into Dragons vs Zombies
Also for anyone asking this is the book version of the battle in the Show Robb takes most of his men to fight Jamie while he sends 2000 of his men to trick Tywin.
@@hazzmati Well they killed more than they lost and managed to capture Jamie Lannister which gave them a proper Hostage with Value. Until they lost him... But that was Catlyn's fault. The decision was stupid but I can't blame a mother for wanting to save her children.
@@trollpikken6907 Well of all the Lannisters Jamie is the best and most trustworthy so yeah, she took a gamble. But I do hate how she makes such a big deal about her children and uses that as an excuse to justify all her actions, but completely neglects that everyone is someone's child.
@@trollpikken6907 if they had Sansa and Arya by exchange them to Jamie. Robb will have two sisters where he can marry them to the Tyrells and house Arryn to bound them to the war.
The bookversion is more realistic, because Lannister scouts would notice the difference between a 2000 man army and an 18000 man army while in the bookversion the majority of the army is marching against Tywin. The army that went with Robb also had lots of Frey soldiers, so the Lannister scouts wouldn't notice an essential part of the army as missing
Good lord, all this makes me despise Catelyn Stark even more. They went through ALL that, with so many deaths in the feign against Tywin and the battle of whispering wood, to capture Jaime Lannister as a critical bargaining chip. And she just releases him in the company of Brienne, trekking across the countryside. All those people who'd died to put them in that position and she just spits on their sacrifice like that?
Damn. Didn’t expect to see you here! You like GOT?! On a second note, in my useless opinion, the life of an innocent is worth more than the death of a criminal. For all his faults, Jaime Lannister was honorable man , and if she asked him to release her daughters, he would do everything in his power to get them safely back to her.
That is to be expected when the D&D hacks are in charge writing. What was even the plan during battle of the bastards? Hold still and let them come? Even if Jon didnt fuck up their "plan" by charging in alone it wouldnt have made any difference.
@Matthew yeah he was at the most 17, probably even younger. Catelyn in the books notices how her son has matured because of the war even though he's so young.
@@theboss-nm9et late... But... He's probably talking about the reason for Robert Baratheon's rebellion, there is a video on this channel that explain it, but to put is shortly: Lyanna Stark is abducted by Rhaegar Targaryen, so to get answers her brother rode to Kings Landing and searches for Lyanna, little does he know the King is mad and imprisoned him instead, the king called his father for his sons "treachery", and when his father came..... they're both executed.....
he could finally say oh yeah mate btw, you're a legitimate Targaryen, real names Aegon, i'm not your dad, but lollll you cant do anything because you're a sworn member of the Night's Watch now sorry
Sorry to burst your bubble guys, in order to get to the north there is only 2 ways, march north or by ship. The safest way and the most logical way would be by ship to east watch. He wouldnt be technically a brother when he gets to east watch and the north was at war with the iron throne. Ned could literally march south to karhold and then to white harbor or further south to the neck. If robb got word that ned would be sent to the nights watch, im sure hed send men to east watch to take him.
@@cosmicgrim7963 you have forgotten that Ned was an honorable man and he will never desert the nightswatch even though he hasn't yet pronounced his oath
Daily Dosage Of Dank It’s not. In the show, the smaller part of Robb’s army marches south to confront Tywin. He even mentions later that it was 2000 Northmen, not 20000 as his spies suggested. In the books, the majority of the Northern army is at the Green Fork, while the smaller part is with Robb at the Whispering Wood and the Camps.
Another interesting thing is that as Jaime Lannister carved his way through the bodyguards of Robb Stark, the only thing that stopped him was the fact that his sword got stuck in the cleaved skull of one of Karstarks sons. If his sword hadn't become stuck, he would likely have killed Robb then and there.
There wasn't much to it really, the Lannister army was divided into three to siege each bank, so the Northern army used concentration of force and defeat in detail to wipe out the siege force while it was divided.
Thank you for mentioning the Blackfish and his importance to Robb. One still wonders what the war would have looked like without the red wedding and Robb's plan for the Westerlands

Just finished Catelyn's chapters right now, i just gotta say I've never been this hyped reading a book. Like wtf man that was so good, especially the part where jaime was straight solo'd Robb's men shouting his name
Yh Jaime charging at Rob and slicing his men was such a badass moment. I wish we could have seen it in the show. Then maybe audience viewers would shut up about Jaime being overrated
Whispering Wood is a great showing of why a commander cant get too stuck into the fighting. Jamie enjoyed battle. He liked being a knight. He had little care for being a Lord. A good commander fights like Tywin. Stay in the rear, and focus on the big picture. Robb suckered the Lannisters into an excellent ambush. If Jaime was more focused on the battle, rather than soldiering, he wouldn't have gone into such canalized terrain to get ambushed by the young wolf. Oversll, Jaime isn't a moron even here. But he definitely lacked the temperament for command at this time. Thw Jaime Lannister who commanded the Reach Campaign five years latter would've slapped himself over the head for such a mistake.
Roose planned to betray him ever since he killed Karstark, and probably sooner. Being a good soldier wouldn’t change that, being a saavy politician would have. Unfortunately for Robb he was the son of Ned “Threaten Circie fucking Lannister and Joffrey fucking Baratheon in the middle of their own court room, while also trusting little finger to NOT stab him in the back” Stark. He inherited the political mind of a brick wall
Thank you so much for making ASOIAF themed videos from a long time veteran. This warms my heart ahead of the long awaited premiere of Season 8 this Sunday. I absolutely can't wait and videos like yours help satisfy my craving. I've devoted the past 6 years of I've obsessed over Game of Thrones, learning everything about the vast world and rewatching the show countless times. I live for Game of Thrones.
I said ASOIAF...it's a given. In fact, it's an understatement, I've read them several times over, discussed passages at length, analyzed and theorized, picked apart dialogue and breadcrumbs that GRRM left behind about complex theories. If someone obsessed as me didn't read the books they wouldn't be a true fan. I've committed thousands of hours of my life to knowing the world of A Song of Ice and Fire like the back of my hand.
@@dawn-blade What did you think of Fire and Blood? I haven't finished it completely but have read the majority by now. I wondered what your opinion was about the book
Yes! I just started reading the books and wanted to see how it'd actually play out other than in my head. Hope you continue making ASOIAF battles/history Baz.
in the book there were chapters from random soilders on robs side and those were my favorite, its been a while but i think it was in ACK that soilders are lineing up to fight the lanester army and they point out gregore as a scary mother*** but another soilder calls him arrow magnet. I know the show has a budget and these scenes would cost an insane amount but i would love to see them animated, i wish HBO had an animation studio and would make a anime style version of GoT
@@Gallegosjunior the POV characters from A Clash of Kings are as follows: Maester Cressen (1-off prologue) Catelyn Sansa Arya Bran Jon Tyrion Davos Theon Daenerys
Littlefinger is the most important character in game of thrones because he's first of who plotted to poisoning lord Arryn then he send a message to Winterfell to start a war between Starks and Lannisters , and this is was the reason of war of five kings
I would happily watch a 2 hour map recap of the entire game of thrones tv show if u would make it and I assume others would too. The way u display it is absolutely amazing
that would end up tywin destroying robb stark the reason tywin hold back so long was cause of jamie captivity or else the war could be over way faster since roose bolton was looking to be warden of the north since he did not respect robb and saw him weak
@@darthyamilcollado8886 False. Tywin was outplayed by Rob several times and didn't have the capability of "destroying" him whenever he wanted. Also, Bolton only made a move with Tywin and Frey during a wedding, he wouldn't of openly opposed Rob during war, who had all of the north. That would of be suicide.
@@lethargictroll6788 robb had jamie that gave rob an advantage for him tywin could not go all out in case in one those scenario could give rob a excuse to excute jamie but yes robb did outsmart him few times but like i said rob had tywin favorite son and you should know by now robb was losing he himself admitted he was losing was a matter of time
Making Ned his "Hand of the King" I can't help but feel that Robert condemned house Stark into a series of tragedy that would almost lead to their downfall. Fortunately that never happened but it came real close.
Really. Thank you for these. This is exactly the kind of material I was hoping for and you deliver elegantly. Its already turning into a custom in our house to all sit around the big screen and absorb with lots of pausing and discussion. Took us well over an hour.
Love the content. Whether you are describing history or fiction, you have a way of being both easy to understand and thorough. It's a rare trait. Easily my favorite place for battlefield history.
This video shows just how important The Twins and its crossing were at the time for Robb. I always wondered, with a continent that big and so many rivers if it was really necessary for Robb to cross the Twins at that time instead of going up and around. It really was, a great military move also.
Someone correct me if there already is but I would love to see a GOT strategy game like Total War. You pick a house and attempt to conquer Westeros and sit on the Iron Throne.🙂
@@nicholasvanlierde2546 They are great channels! For some reason it just blows my mind seeing fantasy worlds having military history documentaries made about them :)
I really can't believe they cut almost the entire battle for this, both of them, in the series. This is an epic showdown between the lion and the wolf. Quite honestly wouldn't cost that much to film either, even in the early seasons, amush scenes can use tricks like heavy arrow fire and quick shots to make it seem bigger. Oh well.
@@زنكي Oh come on, please. Even fiction is history and this is a story worthy of the BazBattle fformat Edit: is this text structure only buggy on my screen ? wtf youtube.
Could you do the battle of the redgrass field? It was the largest battle during the First Blackfyre Rebellion, effectively ending it and confirming King Daeron II Targaryen's rule of the Seven Kingdoms.
One tiny detailed I noticed: you depict Catelyn Stark traveling from WInterfell to King's Landing via the Kingsroad but I believe she took a ship from White Harbor and sailed the Narrow Sea, no? Great video!
Baz, your work is fucking masterful- always in awe at the time you put into these. Indefinite hats off and standing applause for you and your team sir.
Catelyn was no better than Cersei. They both triggered a war that cost tens of thousands of good men their lives. She twice ruined any chances of peace by being selfish and impulsive and falsely accusing Tyrion and then betraying her son Robb and releasing Jaime Lannister. She should be burning in hell.
Yeah, we definitely need the Battle of the Blackwater to get the same treatment. One of the best battles in fiction and so much larger in scale than Whispering Wood. Of course that probably also makes it silly-hard to do.
Battle of Bastards probably wont happen since its a show only thing and show has little strategy involved in it. Battle of Winterfell and Battle at the Crofters' village are more likely to be shown.
They are doing them by how they were on the books.So he cant do those as they did not happen yet.Even when they do they will be very different.As it is Stannis vs Boltons in the north and Barristan vs Slavers in Mereen who are both alive in the books
Hope you guys also add the Battle of the Camps as well at some point though, or at least a mention in the next video. Whispering Woods while strategically important wasn't the wholesale battle the next one was and should get a mention at least compared to its omission in the TV series.
When the dragons are not around it really feels like actual history!
Yeah, the early books are deeply layered intrigue and deft political maneuvering combined with interesting tactics and culture. But it's obvious from the beginning that everything is gonna devolve into Dragons vs Zombies
@@jayteegamble What wrong with dragon?

She's the reason why robb had to die

Only a couple of days before season 8 takes off! Thanks for creating this video!
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Didn’t even know King’s Landing and Winterfell are so far apart.
I love the mapping.
This is truly amazing to listen to, thank you!
I read the books back in the 90s. Very cool to see the battles depicted. Pray continue. D.
YES!!!! I love your Game of Thrones videos!
Quality animations and good narration is why I come to this channel, even though most of this vid was filler. Great work
this is perfect time for this
A detail battle about something that not been shown before?
Amazing 👍👌
I absolutely love your voice and narration. Subbed!
I didn't realize I needed this history in my life. Thank you Lord BazBattles.
Hail Rob Stark!! The only king worthy of fealty!
Thank you so much for listening to your viewers! We wanted more Game of Thrones! You made one!
yes yes yes been waiting so long for this
edit: thanks for all the likes
Why? This is fiction, not real history.
@@زنكي Oh come on, please. Even fiction is history and this is a story worthy of the BazBattle fformat
Edit: is this text structure only buggy on my screen ? wtf youtube.
@@زنكي because this is some of the greatest fiction ever
Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life ....Phil Collins

Ok, thanks... where it does, this story... com from? Can I read about it in Wikipedia?
Oh god, I thought my hype build up had already reached its maximum but you somehow burst right through it! Absolutely brilliant video.
more game of thrones battles
I’ve been waiting for the war of the five kings for so long. Glad to see it finally come.
Thanks bazbattles, we been waiting for this for a long time.
Holy crap, BAZ! I have been a subscriber for at least a year, but I never knew you did GoT stuff! LOVE IT ...
Could you do the battle of the redgrass field? It was the largest battle during the First Blackfyre Rebellion, effectively ending it and confirming King Daeron II Targaryen's rule of the Seven Kingdoms.
I love how you tell the story like it is real world history
I love your Game of Thrones videos, well done!
Thanks for the very detailed video.
Makes my visualization of my reading much clearer now.
Remembering when G.O.T was amazing before the plot armour.
This is such an interesting story! They should make this into a TV series someday.
Yeaaahhh, War of the Five Kings animated at last!!
Another fine narration job Baz! You sound like Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi.
One tiny detailed I noticed: you depict Catelyn Stark traveling from WInterfell to King's Landing via the Kingsroad but I believe she took a ship from White Harbor and sailed the Narrow Sea, no? Great video!
Great job on summarizing the entire first book into 12 minutes video
Love that skyrim music! Now I have to start another new game dammit.
lol Skyrim... hopefully next game is at least half as good then it wont be a total shit.
I noticed that. You can also hear Rome total war music
Baz, your work is fucking masterful- always in awe at the time you put into these. Indefinite hats off and standing applause for you and your team sir.
You could cover Battle of the Camps as well, its essentually a conclusion of Whispering Wood. I mean, you did bother to mention Green Fork
You get a like just for that wolf eating the assasin animation! Damn that looked amazing!
They should make a show about this
Indeed they should. Imagine all the unexpected twists and turns!
It just absolutely BAFFLES my mind that as complex as all this, all these chain of events happened because of Petyr Baelish and the dagger
Catelyn was no better than Cersei. They both triggered a war that cost tens of thousands of good men their lives. She twice ruined any chances of peace by being selfish and impulsive and falsely accusing Tyrion and then betraying her son Robb and releasing Jaime Lannister. She should be burning in hell.
Well, she isn't dead yet, so one day, maybe
Yeah, we definitely need the Battle of the Blackwater to get the same treatment. One of the best battles in fiction and so much larger in scale than Whispering Wood.
Of course that probably also makes it silly-hard to do.
Nice video! More game of thrones please!
Yes !!
i'd prefer history
@@Toto-95 they are both great and entertaining, and history still has a monopoly
This production value is great
Soon, in the future, they will do a battle of the basterds and the battle for Winterfell. I can't wait for that to happen possibly.
Battle of Bastards probably wont happen since its a show only thing and show has little strategy involved in it. Battle of Winterfell and Battle at the Crofters' village are more likely to be shown.
Thabk you!! Id just finished reading A Game of Thrones and this one battle I couldn't really comprehend. Appreciate it
Battle of Bastards, Slavers Sieging Mereen or Loot Train Attack next :-D
keep your panties on, those happen 5+ seasons later
Still got to do Blackwater
They are doing them by how they were on the books.So he cant do those as they did not happen yet.Even when they do they will be very different.As it is Stannis vs Boltons in the north and Barristan vs Slavers in Mereen who are both alive in the books
I haven't watched but a few GoTs episodes, but I love these videos all the same. Great job!
Hope you guys also add the Battle of the Camps as well at some point though, or at least a mention in the next video. Whispering Woods while strategically important wasn't the wholesale battle the next one was and should get a mention at least compared to its omission in the TV series.
It will most likely be in the next video because it immediately followed
This young Robb Stark looks promising. I hope he lives on to be a great leader and nothing bad happens to him!
Can u do one about the german outbreak of the cherkassy pocket 1944
I wish you would do more of these fictional battles. They are really interesting.
