If there is any battle, historical or fictitious, that you want to see recreated in Age of Empires, let me know in the comments.
u are awesome
Like Prophet Mohammed SAW said that one day, Roman glorious empire will fall. Make history of Gajah Mada from Majapahit Kingdom in Indonesia, please?
@@goodoldgamingyoutuber6371 Any specific battle that I can recreate?
@@historyforgamers Battle of Bubat, Mongol invasion of Java, and First Dutch Expedition to East Indies (Indonesia, 16th Century).
If you using Age Of Empires III Difinitive Edition: Java War (Diponegoro War) the most epic battle of Colonial Age, Blitar PETA rebellion, etc.
@@goodoldgamingyoutuber6371 Thanks for the suggestions. I do plan to use Age of Empires 3 to recreate battles from 1600 onwards, and Diponegoro War is a good option for then.
I would argue that the fall of Constantinople was but one of many important factors that led to the end of the Middle Ages (which include, but aren’t limited to: the fall of Granada and thus the end of the Reconquista; the discovery of the Americas; the end of the Hundred Years War; the breaking of the Teutonic Order and formation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; the Italian Wars; the consolidation of Russia by Muscovy), as there is no fixed end for the period anyway, but as always a very well-done video. I particularly enjoyed how you decided to represent the “rolling-bridge” used by Mehmed to transport his ships over land
Yes, it is true that there were more events that marked the end of the Middle Ages, but we can say that this was one of the most important. Maybe I could have said it that way, but I personally think that because of the repercussions it had.
The roller-bridge was complicated and the only way to do it occurred to me 😀.
Thank you very much Jordi.
Although there are more than one factor, I argue that the fall of Constantinople lead many philosophers, scientists and artists who were in Byzantine lands to migrate Italy which later ignited the start of Renaissance. So many historians consider Fall of Constantinople/Renaissance as the end of middle ages. Another important note is that the Western civilizations realized the power of gunpowder and cannons with the Fall of Constantinople which lead to the gunpowder advancements and the decline of feudal lords and rise of centralized kingdoms.
@@aliyenercetiner7647 eh, both points have counterpoints.
Regarding the Renaissance, it had already started in Italy several decades before the fall of Constantinople, as it’s generally considered to have taken off in the 14th century.
Regarding gunpowder, it had already been used to great effect previously, such as at the battle of Crécy (even featured on this channel). Heck, even the Byzantines used cannons, so the view that they completely and foolishly rejected gunpowder because they didn’t know its potency is unfounded. Though they were initially used across Europe in siege defense, they eventually became used as siege engines in the middle of the 14th century, earliest attestation being at the siege of Conselice, near Bologna. In Spain, Christian kings enlisted Moorish advisors as masters of artillery as early as the 1360s. If anything, it was probably the target of the Ottomans’ great bombard (and how quickly it was overwhelmed) - the Theodosian walls, considered nigh-impregnable for centuries - rather than the bombard itself that caused a ruckus in Europe
@@jordinagel1184 You are right, however what I was saying is that this major event accelerated what was already started. Both the renaissance and usage of gunpowder were there before it, it just caused a big sensation in both of them where things started to shift dramatically in the course of history. You might argue that it directly ended the medieval era, but it's surely the biggest major event indirectly caused it.
@@aliyenercetiner7647 that’s fair enough, you’ve got a point there
7:35 the disrespect of that ship to the ottomans XD
Poor Galleon was bullied to oblivion
Never forget the Byzantine heroics of the defense of Constantinople of 1453.
👍
Forgotten 1453 times 🤷🏻♂️
@@yasinov1256The greatest city in the world now a slum.
That was epic in every sense of the word! Your videos just keep pushing the limit more and more, and watching these almost feels like being a kid again, and learning through the AoE II campaigns 25 years ago, which is a high compliment from me! After doing Jerusalem, I was curious if you might actually attempt to show Constantinople, because it's such a unique city layout, and in order to do it justice, it would have to be a particularly large map with lots of intricate details, including the golden horn, the chain across the bay, the distinct generations of walls, and even various quarters of the city, all of which you represented faithfully. Great job, as always!
I greatly appreciate that you value the work that is in the city trying to represent it as best as possible and that you enjoyed the video in that way. Thank you very much for your comment.
La estás rompiendo con tu canal. El algoritmo me arrojó este vídeo y me lo ví completo. Ni siquiera se sienten los 17 minutos de duración de tan ameno que es. Muchas felicidades. Una vez más se demuestra que muchos aprendimos historia gracias a Age of Empires y que esto, como gamer y como profesor, tiene un gran potencial.
Muchas gracias! Me alegra ver que la gente disfruta de los vídeos y sirven para entretener y aprender un poco de Historia. Un saludo 😉.

I feel like this is the first naval+land battle you’ve posted and this is a masterpiece! The galleys on the rolling bridge was amazing and the largest cannon looked super cool (I haven’t played DE, is that unit model in the game scripts?)
Anyway, can’t wait for red cliffs after seeing this video😁
Thank you Godzirra! I'm glad you liked the video. The cannon is from the MOD "great bombard cannon".
history telling with animations is wonderful especially if it's our history.Good luck for your creating contents.
Thank you very much R3bellion!
Been looking forward to this one! Let's watch!
FINALLY WAITING IS OVER!
KEEP UP YOUR WORK!

Hace unas semanas descubrí tu canal, sinceramente cada vídeo es una joya. Muchas gracias 🫂
Saludos desde Chile
Gracias Jose Miguel 😉.
I think this is just a legend but apparently Constantine upon hearing the Ottomans had made it into the city said "The walls of Constantinople have fallen, and yet I am still alive" He then rushed into a mob of Ottoman troops swinging his longsword never to be seen again.
Just discovered this channel and already loved it. Always dreaming representing the great battles in history using aoe graphics and features. You killed it admin! Bravo 👏
I already have the battles of Manzikert and Mohacs on my list to do, the one of Preveza is not, so I'm adding it right now. Thank you very much for your comment Michael.
@@historyforgamers nice thanks for letting know
Iam also an addicted AOE2 player and history fan,
Thats why iam loving your videos keep posting more bro : )
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like my videos.
Love your content. You re doing an amazing work!
Thank you very much Branco.
Think the minarets of Hagia Sophia at the introduction were telling of the final result :D
Yes, it was my fault that I thought that I had nothing more than that building with minarets to represent it.
wow, It had great details thank you for your sharing !
Thanks for watching the video!
This is funderful, really. Your content is more than excellent.
Thank you very much Dmitri, I'm glad you like it.
Cant believe hoy well done are these videos, congrats man

Thank you very much Facundo, I'm glad you like my videos.
That... was breathtaking. You made a video via the AOE2 engine!
That's it 😉
Good stuff, always makes me a little sad seeing the end for the last of what was once Rome. For a future video you should consider the second siege of Vienna by the ottomans in 1683. Its got the largest cavalry charge in history. lots of hussars and Janissaries, what's not to like?
Yes, I have to do the siege of Vienna. Thanks Bob!
@@historyforgamers sweet can't wait
Nice video! How about the Battle of Vienna? (1683) Where the Ottomans fought against the Holy Roman Empire
That great battle is on my to do video list. Thanks Raul!
Great video 🥲 this was the death of Rome
i will be honest, this is an amazing job. I deep in love your channel.
Thank you very much Mustafa!
Hola!! Muy buen contenido y la verdad se ve todo espectacular. Lo único que te diría es que tuvieras cuidado con cosas como las de "Mehmeh two" o "Murad two" en la narración, queda un poco raro.
Mucha suerte, he visto esta y Agincourt y me han parecido muy buenas ambas!!
Hola Luis. Tienes razón, el bot que lee los textos a veces convierte las numeraciones de reyes y gobernantes en cosas extrañas y tengo que repasar como quedan. Gracias por el comentario, me alegro de que te hayan gustado los vídeos 😉.
Nice work as allways! Btw. You could try put some battle music durning videos i think.
I do not put music so that the narration can be heard better. Maybe I should turn up the volume of the ambient sound a bit. Thanks Potato!
I can't believe such an important and iconic event in history such as the Ottoman siege of Constantinople wasn't included in the original Age of Empires 2 and still isn't even in the Definitive Edition. Fans had to create a custom scenario.
¡¡¡ESPAÑOL!!
Gracias bien hecho ;) esperaba algo así de tu contenido. Sugerencia:
¿asedio a Tenochtitlan próximamente? Gracias por tus videos ;)
Si, en breve toca batalla en el continente americano. Gracias Paulus!
@@historyforgamers Gracias, me muero de la emoción si haces tú la Defensa de Cartagena con Blas de Lezo, ya sea con el editor de aoe2 o aoe3.

Hello History for Gamers,
I'm a big fan of the decision to teach history to gamers (and people that like AOE2) through editor scenarios and I've watched all of your videos.
I feel like this scenario was excellent, but I'd like to see a bit more unit diversity - the fleet was excellent, but the Ottoman Army should've probably contained some Man at Arms with the Eastern Swordsmen and the militias as it matches their equipment. And the Byzantine, likely Serjeants. I also would've liked to see Keshiks & Hunnic Heroes (the ones with the saber, without the glow, I can't remember the name for the heck of me), Horse Archers & Steppe Lancers in the Ottoman Army, as it represents their cavalry far better than the Cavalier. I also think the Byzantine Cavalry charge should've contained Knights, Cataphracts and Leitis during the charge, instead of just Leitis.
But apart from that, this was very well done and props to you for making a great-looking Constantinople map.
Respectfully!
I think your suggestions about the units are correct, especially the cavalry. I may have been more concerned with the map than the units and could have made it more accurate. Thanks for your feedback Kae.
Love your constructive feedback, since we watch these videos to learn and you can provide additional insight to make it even better!
@@Kawabongahlive Thank you very much Leica.
And i expected to see hagia sophia instead of blue mosque :)
@@talha7309 Yes I know 😅.

Thanks Bryan!
Great video!
Thanks Nate!
Fue increible escuchar la historia por medio de Age of Empires. Me encantaría que experimentaras con Age of Empires IV para hacer lo mismo. Creo que puede ser bastante interesante. Sin duda, tus documentales son mucho más visuales que otros, este juego trae consigo una caja de arena para este tipo de contenido. Sigue así!
Age of Empires 2 se presta muy bien para hacer esto, siempre he pensado que su editor tenía un potencial enorme. Si, tengo que echar un vistazo al del Age4 y ver sus posibilidades. Muchas gracias Ficlic!
Step 1: Try not to cry
Step 2: Put this video at 14:54
Step 3: Cry a lot.
This was amazing
this is awesome, i wounder if its possible to use other rts game like this. having history fights for ww1 or ww2 in this style would be so intresting
Empire Earth 1 covered from prehistory to the Future and had an editor. Does anyone know if the EE3 also has an editor?
@@historyforgamers I've never played EE3 just the first one so I'm not sure. You can use Men of war or Call to arms Gates of hell DLC to cover some WW2 stuff. They have a good editor
@@etholus1000 Thanks for the info Etholus, I'll investigate the games you mention.
this is awesome!
Thank you!
Harika bir anlatım.Tebrikler.
Teşekkürler!
Well done!
Thanks Theodorich!
Thoughts on using AOE4 for adapting battles? Primarily to replicate units on wall.
Yes, it's what I miss most about Age 2 compared to Age 4 but otherwise I still like Age 2 more, I'm a bit retro 😄.
@@historyforgamers same. Wish there was similar artstyle RTS which allowed proper units on walls. If possible units on ships even.
@@newbossbro3180 The only RTS I can remember that showed units on ships was Ancient Wars: Sparta.
@@historyforgamers Also Rise And Fall: Cvilizations At War. I'm still very sad that AOE4 did absolutely nothing to improve units on walls or introducing this mechanics. They just copy pasted everything from previous games with no new innovations.
Why did you use the Turk wonder/Mosque for the Hagia Sophia , when the Byzantine one is clearly more fitting and era correct?
the minaret towers are a Islamic thing, and were added by the Ottomans.
Also since we are at it, it'd be more fitting to use the East European monastery instead of the default mediterranean one for Constantinople.
Yes, it was my fault for thinking that I had only that version of the building. I have already corrected it for the next time I use the map. Thanks for the suggestions.
gr8t video, could you do The Medieval Battle For Rome, 24th August 410 ?
I add to the list of battles the sack of Rome by Alaric. Thank you!
great video !!!!!
Thanks! 😉
Amazing!
Muito legal ver isso pela ótica do jogo. Vi a série da Netflix e gostei muito. Nunca joguei uma partida de campanha nesse jogo que tivesse esse canhão mais poderoso.
Muito obrigado Bruno. O canhão é de um mod que pode ser baixado para o jogo.

Very cool
Awesome❤
What a fantastic idea. I applaud your effort, it seems ideal to re-construct historical battles by using the Age 2 DE Engine. Did you use scripts, if I may ask?
Thank you. No, I don't use any script.
Kings And Generals should see your work and use videos like this in order to show the battles.
I wish it would happen one day Jim...
Could you please do a siege of Negroponte (Chalkida)? It was a gruesome and very interesting siege (1470 A.C.). During this period Chalkida was under Venice's command and Venice sent a huge fleet to protect Negroponte but the person that had to handle this fleet, Nicolo Canal, was more of "a man of letters" than a man of action and he had second thoughts and pulled out of the battle and returned back to Venice causing the fall of Negroponte and Chalkida. Chalkidian fleet and army managed to kill almost 50.000 Ottomans, while they lost more than 6.000. There's a belief that the sultan (Mehmed II) gave orders to chop all of Chalkida's soldiers, Greek and Latin, in half, he sawed the leader, Paolo Erizzo, in half and gave orders to have Paolo's daughter in his harem. She then spat in his face and he ordered his soldiers to bind her in front of everyone in the room and chop her in 3 pieces.
I did not know it and I found it very interesting. I'm writing it down to read about it and see if I can make a video in the future. Thank you so much!
@@historyforgamers You 're welcome! :)
Fantastic
what a ! my favorite
Really glad and utterly happy to see this campaign. This is dream coming true.
👉Btw.if I can "nit pick" a little bit 👉👉those 4 minarets around Hagia Sofia shouldn't be there yet 😅 they were added AFTER the siege. Little interesting historical fact
You are absolutely right, it was an error that was pointed out to me when the video was already on TH-cam and I couldn't change anything 😞.
Please battle of hydaspes next? Or mongol siege of Delhi and subsequent battle of Kili ig.
The next vote is going to be just between battles for Alexander the Great.
Outclass
gracias
Is it just me or do I find that the tide turns at 14:53 ??? If you know what I mean haha...
I think there was no demolition after captured Constantinople by Ottomans.
If so like this, we could not talk about Hagia Sophia, Galata Tower, St. Nikolaos and Pierre, Aya Elenia, Aya Irini, Barbara churches, many obelisks and cisterns.
Some of them have been converted with Ottoman styles, some of them have been fell with time by themselves. 😊
Aquí es donde lloramos los hombres.
El resumen del final de la Edad Media.
Cool bro
Hey bro, can you publish the Constaninople map?
Yes, I plan to publish some of the maps soon. I'll upload them without units, events or triggers, just the terrain and buildings.
When will the Winged Hussar arrive?
Rome:
-First King: Romulus
-First Emperor: Augustus
-Last Emperor: Romulus Augustus
Byzantine Rome:
-First Emperor: Constantine
-Last Emperor: Constantine
The Fall of Rome is the start of the medieval ages.
The Fall of Byzantine Rome is the end of medieval ages.
Rome fell at the hands of Turkic Empire(Huns)
Byzantine rome fell at the hands of Turkic Empire(Ottomans)
Very good thought 😀😉.
Ottoman Constantinople/Istanbul:
- First Sultan: Mehmed
- Last Sultan: Mehmed
Ottomans took it from Greek speakers with Italian support.
Ottomans (briefly) lost it from an army that included Greeks and Italians.

This sceney is really hard
This video is as good as a map of Europe
0:01 Santa Sofía no tenía minaretes en aquel momento. Precisamente habría que haber utilizado la maravilla de los bizantinos, no la otomana.
Tienes razón Fran. Ya me lo han comentado varios y fue un fallo grave mío porque no me fijé en la maravilla bizantina. Ya está corregido el mapa para la próxima batalla que haga en Constantinopla.
it's an amazing scenario. I would just point that the city is overall way too large. Constantinople was partly ruralized in 1453, so it was more of a collection of small settlements within the city walls than a continuous ubran settlement. And why is there the blue mosque instead of the hagia sophia?
Thanks for your comment. You are right in your analysis of the city. I tried to show the rural and less urban part with the farm area. The wonder thing is a serious mistake that I had and that I can't solve until I make a new video 😥.
Do the Siege of Szigetvár.
I've put the battle on my list. Thanks Oscar.
It was a good piece of art u did there but there were some wrong informations:
1- There was no peace offering from Mehmet The Second, on contrary ruler of Byzantine offered a peace but Mehmet The Conqueror refuesed it. How could someone says "Either Constantinople takes me or i take it" offer peace exchange of money?
2- There was no looting nor murdering after taking the city. On contrary local people welcomed Mehmet The Second and made it rain roses for him. After the conquest Mehmet The Conqueror announced a Sultan's edict says: "All of u r spared. Anyone wants to leave can leave freely, anyone wants to stay can stay in peace!"
Complicated to know what the truth is. There are many sources and each one says different things.
@@historyforgamers In any case good effort 👍
Hello, I’ve got question. Is this the campaign already existed in the game? Or you create all of these by yourself??
