Imagine how these MEN were so brave. You know that your going to be fighting hand to hand combat and pray your sword shoulder doesn't tear a tendon in the middle of this battle. These guys were tough men.
Oh and btw, great work as always. The cinematics and stories you portay are always top notch. CA should really hire you to help set up their in-engine trailers and let's play spotlights
i love that guy at 2:41 that takes an arrow to the should mid sentence. its just like "so anyway I told him" THUNK "what the hell man" laughed so hard at that
I am Muslim. Salahuddin told the captive Christians to become Muslims. When Christians refused, Salahuddin said he would kill you. He killed many Christian prisoner of war. Muslims enslaved many Christians. Christians worked as slaves until their death. Salahuddin has also destroyed much of Christ's legacy. He also looted what is believed to be the cross of Christ. Because Salahuddin couldn't beat Richard.I have been studying Crusaders for a long time. I don't think Richard is a bad guy. He was very kind to the fifth sultan, al-Kāmil. al-Kāmil is the eldest son of Saladin's younger brother, al-Ādil. When Richard won the last fight with Saladin and was in peace talks,Richard has appointed Al-Kamil, as a knight. Richard himself himself ordained him as a knight. Al-Kamil, was very pleased. Richard presented him with a respectable sword as a celebration. Al-Kamil, preserved the sword very carefully. Al-Ādil, the fourth sultan, was close to Richard.Al-Ādil is Saladin's younger brother. Richard and al-Ādil have negotiated many times. After the meeting with al-Ādil, Richard dispatched several guard knights to safely deliver al-Ādil. Richard was very kind to al-Ādil.Richard wanted him to marry his sister and become a Christian. al-Ādil said it couldn't. Salahuddin laughed at the story.Richard wants him to return our holy land and has said we do not want to kill Muslims. It's about the murder of 2500 Muslims in Akon. Richard did not want to kill 2500 Muslim prisoners.Salahuddin was able to actually pay the ransom. Richard has preserved his prisoners for a week since the promised day. This is because Salahuddin did not save 2500 POWs.Richard's men killed 2,500 Muslims in the least painful way. Saladin has abandoned 2500 Muslims. In addition, after returning to Europe, Richard is caught and imprisoned by bad guys. The bad guys tried to put Richard on trial. The bad guy tried to judge Richard for killing King Jerusalem. But Richard did not kill King Jerusalem. At that time, Islamic assassin groups saved him. They sent a letter stating that Richard was innocent. This saved Richard.Richard was saved by the Islamic assassin.Richard was a man who kept his promise. Richard signed peace with Sarahudin. Salahdin died after Richard returned to Europe. Richard was able to break peace and attack Jerusalem. However, Richard kept his promise. Jerusalem was peaceful. Richard forgave the archer who caused his death. Richard also forgave the betrayed brother and subordinate.We Muslims believe that Richard is a kind king. Before he got married, Richard had a relationship with a woman and had children. Richard was also associated with more than six women. He was a king who loved women.
When Richard last fought Saladin, Richard's soldiers were one tenth of Saladin. Richard used 20 horses. Saladin had 2,000 horses. If Richard lost in this battle, Richard's army was wiped out. But Richard won the battle.
Did this in a tabletop campaign a few years ago in 10mm. Lack of proper cooperation by the crusader leaders got them well and truly thumped. As did their failure to try to reach a settlement with the Byzantines first.
Great job! Something I could see it would enhance the video: do a little extra explanation about the phases of combat, throwing some details here and there. Without context as to what is happening, the casual observer might think that the Crusaders were being decimated by arrows, but, while the harassing was persistent, it didn't cause a great amount of casualties. Heavy armour and defensive formations handled it just fine; a Muslim chronicler reports how Christians with up to ten arrows sticking out of their body were marching unmolested. By contrast, European crossbowmen took a toll on Saladin's cavalry archers. And stuff like that. Keep up the good work!

They were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense.
Well I liked crusades as a kid. These romantic stories about Saladin and Lionheart. I have seen Kingdom of Heaven and I have played Stronghold Crusader. Your video brought me to these times ( historic times as well as times of my childhood ). Thanks man.
Wow that was exciting! Great editing! I play Total war Rome 2, didnt know Attila looked so good! I might check it out. I love military history....liked and subscribed!
A lot of people here has never read history. Richard could have absolutely taken Jerusalem, the military orders of the Templars and Hospitallers advised him otherwise because they lacked the people to hold the city for a long time. Richard was much better than Salahuddin, and the latter even admitted he has met his match to Lionheart.
Excellent voice of narrator. I would want more explanation throughout the video; you could still have music a bit quieter in background as narrator explains more of the battle details. Also, maps would help as well as battle strategy diagrams, etc. Tone down the blood & "comet trails" & weird dust bursts as soldiers get hit, etc.
It would be nice if in your videos we could see the tactics that the generals used throughout the battle. There are many accounts of different flanks falling and retreating or generals making snap decisions which turned the tide of the battle. If you and a friend were in multiplayer and you planned out the battle I believe you could really enhance the quality of your videos by showing how the battles were won.
Yes I was thinking about showing battle like that, and maybe I try in the future, but I choose to show them in movie style, just to be good to watch and teach a little, but not to much, it will be boring, I think. Besides It's much more difficult to show battle with tactics
I understand that, I like how it is now but after reading books on some of the battles it can be disheartening to see the general's tactics left out. One good example was the battle of Carrhae, I believe you done that very well!

{Apology for Long Post - I got carried away The Crusdaes are fascinating.}They never met (its a pity), there was talk of one of Richard's Sisters marrying Saladin, would have been interesting if that had happened, although their styles were very different, they had many similar problems. After Acre fell, it was interesting that Saladin tested Richard, by promising the return of the "True Cross" which had been taken and apparently destroyed during the destruction of the Church of the holy Sepulchre, but then never delivered it. It bought a month of vital time for Saladin, at the expense of the lives of the 5,.000 Turkish prisoners, who were to be returned on its delivery. I wonder if Phillip (Richard's half/step brother, and original head of the Siege of Acre) would have done the same thing, I have a feeling he would have mucked it up. As it was, Agnes (Phillip's Sister) had 8 years earlier married Alexius Comnenus II, and Richard was left backing the dull incompetent "Guy of Lusignon", and the disaster that would be the Battle of Hattin 1187 was in the making, which would be the cause the 3rd Crusade. Richard failed to take Jerusalem, but he did negotiate rights for Christian pilgrims to travel there again. Saladin was probably glad to have his disparate forces not be at each others throats, and he declared Jerusalem to be Islam's third city, as part of a long range plan to wrest control of it back. "Drive them out, as they drove you out" to quote the Koran, which quizzically never addressed the point of "what if you kicked " them out first."
I love your job! Machinima is one of the future of documentaries! Maybe, for more immersion, have you try some additional effects like ENB, Reshade (I use this) or GEMFX? Maybe some mods for dust and effects like no arrow trails?
Right - well that was 7 m,inutes of computer generated artistic license that Ill never get back. This reenactment was like the Monty Python sketch where a dozen old ladies recreated famous battles by raucously fighting with handbags in a big puddle of Mud. Arsuf was a fascinating battle, yet another example of the amazing leadership of Richard Lionheart, and how he managed to maintain cohesion, with the Hospitalers pulling one way and the Knights of Saint John doing something else. He united the forces, which had been spread after 2 days(?) of Marching and made a massive charge that wiped out many of the attacking Mohammedans. Had he timed it wrong, his forces would have been wiped out.
@Noah Pritchett What a profoundly sad confession. Having pride over one's nation of birth is just as stupid as expressing pride over one's skin color. Accidents of birth are nothing to be proud of. True pride should be reserved for personal accomplishments and creative endeavors, not for things over which you had zero choice, such as where you were born and your ethnic heritage.
@Noah Pritchett I agree, skin color is meaningless and nothing over which to be "proud." It is just one of many things which are simply accidents of birth which I regard as silly as objects of pride. As I stated previously, the only legitimate things which deserve expressions of pride from an individual (or a group, for that matter) are ACHIEVEMENTS, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, and CREATIONS, the results of training, education, effort, and devotion.
The crusades were not an evil aggression by Christians as the media has twisted history to now say. Just the fact that Christians were not even allowed to worship safely in Jerusalem tells you how “loving, peaceful, and tolerant” Islam was. It took an army an a treaty to force Islam to act in a remotely decent manner!
This was great. Woulda been cool to see Garnier de naplouse and some other knight (cant remember his name) charge the enemy lines by themselves although thats probably not possible to make using attila/mod.
Valentino Suak Armour. Also, that wouldn’t kill him because it hit his arm - even if he was unarmoured. Besides, this is a video game. What I have just told you is based on if he got hit in real life.
Saladin won the war, his army was fighting none stop his best generals died before the 3rd Crusade salahaldine died 6 months after this agreement and he was 70 years old you have no idea how it was for him with strongest Kings of Europe against him he didn't even know king of Germany has died and his army is gone back and destroyed by the turkes he keept worrying about that army and fighting the English and France king and in the end he won the war you can be happy with winning battles but we all know who was the better king loved by everyone even his enemies. Sorry for my bad English not my first language.
@@rboddington salahaldine was old and made wrong choices in the 3rd cruzede becz of the worry of fighting 3 Kings and plz don't believe they didn't have enough soldiers we talking about strongest Kings of Europe they have to say we were outnumbered and couldn't take Jerusalem yes in the end only king Richard was fighting but his army was well-equipped and around 20k soldiers according to what I keep reading but you talking about a losing war here even if he takes Jerusalem he knows he can't defend it for long in the end salahaldine knows how to manage his army and not break, time was his best weapon.
In Medieval 2 the sarcenian archers take place on the cliffs and a few cavalry units are attacking Richards archers from the sea side. Wished you had that in here, too :(
Good point about the Saracen arrows not penetrating Christian armour - but the arrows were taking out horses and non-armoured personnel (pages, cooks, followers etc). One thing that was missed (that perhaps would be interesting to insert) was that the Christians rode on big strong boy horses. The Saracens rode fast athletic girl horses. So when the Christian knights charged - a 1000+ boy horses upon seeing 100s and 100s of good looking girl horses were thinking “oh yeah!!”. On the other hand the girl horses were thinking ….. that isn’t documented … but many brave Saracens ended up fighting over their shoulder with no choice of their own.
1:05, Bamboo spears? they are good but Arabs did not have Bamboos. I remembered only Italians had Bamboos, Marco Polo brought alive bamboos and noodles back to Italy from Mongolia or China.
LOL. Where did that snow-covered mountain come from? The entire area is rather flat with some low hills at most. If you want to put in any realistic scenery, you might as well show the Mediterranean sea in the background with Arsuf standing on a 20-30 meter cliff above the beach. Google it.
'Take that man's name, his armor is a disgrace!' - Don't know why but that cracked me up. :p
Imagine how these MEN were so brave. You know that your going to be fighting hand to hand combat and pray your sword shoulder doesn't tear a tendon in the middle of this battle. These guys were tough men.
Trevor Im sorry I didn't mean to OFFEND you!
Awesome love it! The camera pan onto Saladin and he utters those immortal words..."Steady Lads"
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow these angles just get the cinematic scale of the armies just right
Oh and btw, great work as always. The cinematics and stories you portay are always top notch. CA should really hire you to help set up their in-engine trailers and let's play spotlights
I think the dialogue came from the historical battle on medieval 2.
Love the narration you put in man. Makes me feel like Im watching the history channel.
Props to the Muslim archer that took a crossbow bolt to the shoulder and took it like a champ. 2:42
Old times people were much tougher ;P

They were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense.
Awesome video. Well done.
Thanks, it take me 3 weeks to made so i'm glad you like it
Well I liked crusades as a kid. These romantic stories about Saladin and Lionheart. I have seen Kingdom of Heaven and I have played Stronghold Crusader. Your video brought me to these times ( historic times as well as times of my childhood ). Thanks man.

Not bad. But King Richard loved the crossbow. It was his favorite weapon. His crossbowmen mowed down a lot of the initial Muslim attack.
wrong. his favorite personal weapon was the battleaxe
Wrong his favorite weapon was the shotgun
@@Goblinsharkhundredsofthem Wrong his favorite weapon was the AR-15.

None of it you idiots, his favourite was the minigun.
Wow that was exciting! Great editing! I play Total war Rome 2, didnt know Attila looked so good! I might check it out. I love military history....liked and subscribed!
love ur videos man...
Now if only i had a chance to show that to my history teacher
A lot of people here has never read history. Richard could have absolutely taken Jerusalem, the military orders of the Templars and Hospitallers advised him otherwise because they lacked the people to hold the city for a long time. Richard was much better than Salahuddin, and the latter even admitted he has met his match to Lionheart.
No. Not even remotely accurate

super cinematic, przypomniała mi się scena z filmu "królestwo niebieskie"
Dzięki, dobry film, szczególnie sceny batalistyczne

total war is legend and history can't resist them ever
Can't imagine being peppers for hours on end without being able to charge
I would want some salt as well.
When the French army is obliterated in 1184. It is now the English's turn.
5:56 - Imagine a king who fights his own battles... That would be Richard.
I can't see a face
2:41 that armor must protect him very well, for he didnt notice he was hit by an arrow on his arm XD
Excellent voice of narrator. I would want more explanation throughout the video; you could still have music a bit quieter in background as narrator explains more of the battle details. Also, maps would help as well as battle strategy diagrams, etc. Tone down the blood & "comet trails" & weird dust bursts as soldiers get hit, etc.
thanks, I think if narrator talk all movie it will be much less entertainer, but maby i try few movies with lektor speking all the time
Good video!
It would be nice if in your videos we could see the tactics that the generals used throughout the battle. There are many accounts of different flanks falling and retreating or generals making snap decisions which turned the tide of the battle. If you and a friend were in multiplayer and you planned out the battle I believe you could really enhance the quality of your videos by showing how the battles were won.
Yes I was thinking about showing battle like that, and maybe I try in the future, but I choose to show them in movie style, just to be good to watch and teach a little, but not to much, it will be boring, I think. Besides It's much more difficult to show battle with tactics
I understand that, I like how it is now but after reading books on some of the battles it can be disheartening to see the general's tactics left out. One good example was the battle of Carrhae, I believe you done that very well!
@@SandokanBattles the ai do be a bit crazy sometimes
i love this with video and a perfect gaming scene wow u r PRO
that close vision is really good
Is that voiceover from Medieval 2???
Yes indeed ;)
He's narrating the same historical battle from Medeival II.
I am a former Muslim and now a Christian.Salahuddin told the captive Christians to become Muslims. When Christians refused, Salahuddin said he would kill you. He killed many Christian prisoner of war. Muslims enslaved many Christians. Christians worked as slaves until their death. Salahuddin has also destroyed much of Christ's legacy.
He also looted what is believed to be the cross of Christ. Because Salahuddin couldn't beat Richard.I have been studying Crusaders for a long time. I don't think Richard is a bad guy. He was very kind to the fifth sultan, al-Kāmil. al-Kāmil is the eldest son of Saladin's younger brother, al-Ādil.
When Richard won the last fight with Saladin and was in peace talks,Richard has appointed Al-Kamil, as a knight. Richard himself himself ordained him as a knight. Al-Kamil, was very pleased. Richard presented him with a respectable sword as a celebration. Al-Kamil, preserved the sword very carefully. Al-Ādil, the fourth sultan, was close to Richard.Al-Ādil is Saladin's younger brother. Richard and al-Ādil have negotiated many times. After the meeting with al-Ādil, Richard dispatched several guard knights to safely deliver al-Ādil. Richard was very kind to al-Ādil.Richard wanted him to marry his sister and become a Christian. al-Ādil said it couldn't. Salahuddin laughed at the story.Richard wants him to return our holy land and has said we do not want to kill Muslims. It's about the murder of 2500 Muslims in Akon. Richard did not want to kill 2500 Muslim prisoners.Salahuddin was able to actually pay the ransom. Richard has preserved his prisoners for a week since the promised day. This is because Salahuddin did not save 2500 POWs.Richard's men killed 2,500 Muslims in the least painful way. Saladin has abandoned 2500 Muslims. In addition, after returning to Europe, Richard is caught and imprisoned by bad guys. The bad guys tried to put Richard on trial. The bad guy tried to judge Richard for killing King Jerusalem. But Richard did not kill King Jerusalem. At that time, Islamic assassin groups saved him. They sent a letter stating that Richard was innocent. This saved Richard.Richard was saved by the Islamic assassin.Richard was a man who kept his promise. Richard signed peace with Sarahudin. Salahdin died after Richard returned to Europe. Richard was able to break peace and attack Jerusalem. However, Richard kept his promise. Jerusalem was peaceful. Richard forgave the archer who caused his death. Richard also forgave the betrayed brother and subordinate.We Muslims believe that Richard is a kind king. Before he got married, Richard had a relationship with a woman and had children. Richard was also associated with more than six women. He was a king who loved women.

Saladin had 2,000 horses. If Richard lost in this battle, Richard's army was wiped out. But Richard won the battle.
The Real History of the CrusadesThe crusades are quite possibly the most misunderstood event in European history. Most of what passes for public knowledge about it is either misleading or just plain wrongBy Prof. Thomas F. MaddenMisconceptions about the Crusades are all too common. So what is the truth about the Crusades? Scholars are still working some of that out. But much can already be said with certainty. For starters, the Crusades to the East were in every way defensive wars. They were a direct response to Muslim aggression-an attempt to turn back or defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands.
From the safe distance of many centuries, it is easy enough to scowl in disgust at the Crusades. Religion, after all, is nothing to fight wars over. Christians in the eleventh century were not paranoid fanatics. Muslims really were gunning for them. While Muslims can be peaceful, Islam was born in war and grew the same way. From the time of Mohammed, the means of Muslim expansion was always the sword. Muslim thought divides the world into two spheres, the Abode of Islam and the Abode of War. Christianity-and for that matter any other non-Muslim religion-has no abode. Christians and Jews can be tolerated within a Muslim state under Muslim rule. But, in traditional Islam, Christian and Jewish states must be destroyed and their lands conquered. When Mohammed was waging war against Mecca in the seventh century, Christianity was the dominant religion of power and wealth. As the faith of the Roman Empire, it spanned the entire Mediterranean, including the Middle East, where it was born. The Christian world, therefore, was a prime target for the earliest caliphs, and it would remain so for Muslim leaders for the next thousand years.
With enormous energy, the warriors of Islam struck out against the Christians shortly after Mohammed's death. They were extremely successful. Palestine, Syria, and Egypt-once the most heavily Christian areas in the world-quickly succumbed. By the eighth century, Muslim armies had conquered all of Christian North Africa and Spain. In the eleventh century, the Seljuk Turks conquered Asia Minor (modern Turkey), which had been Christian since the time of St. Paul. The old Roman Empire, known to modern historians as the Byzantine Empire, was reduced to little more than Greece. In desperation, the emperor in Constantinople sent word to the Christians of western Europe asking them to aid their brothers and sisters in the East.That is what gave birth to the Crusades. They were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense.
wow this is stunning
Thanks!
Good work bro.....
thank you
two great war lords respected each other
{Apology for Long Post - I got carried away The Crusdaes are fascinating.}They never met (its a pity), there was talk of one of Richard's Sisters marrying Saladin, would have been interesting if that had happened, although their styles were very different, they had many similar problems. After Acre fell, it was interesting that Saladin tested Richard, by promising the return of the "True Cross" which had been taken and apparently destroyed during the destruction of the Church of the holy Sepulchre, but then never delivered it. It bought a month of vital time for Saladin, at the expense of the lives of the 5,.000 Turkish prisoners, who were to be returned on its delivery. I wonder if Phillip (Richard's half/step brother, and original head of the Siege of Acre) would have done the same thing, I have a feeling he would have mucked it up. As it was, Agnes (Phillip's Sister) had 8 years earlier married Alexius Comnenus II, and Richard was left backing the dull incompetent "Guy of Lusignon", and the disaster that would be the Battle of Hattin 1187 was in the making, which would be the cause the 3rd Crusade. Richard failed to take Jerusalem, but he did negotiate rights for Christian pilgrims to travel there again. Saladin was probably glad to have his disparate forces not be at each others throats, and he declared Jerusalem to be Islam's third city, as part of a long range plan to wrest control of it back. "Drive them out, as they drove you out" to quote the Koran, which quizzically never addressed the point of "what if you kicked "
them out first."
What are all the mods used?
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
For a mod, this looks really good.
Gentlemen, mostly all mods look very good than the original games.
The arrows looked like comets with those contrails behind them lol
i can't resist when there is name total war but it was great
I love your job! Machinima is one of the future of documentaries!
Maybe, for more immersion, have you try some additional effects like ENB, Reshade (I use this) or GEMFX? Maybe some mods for dust and effects like no arrow trails?
Right - well that was 7 m,inutes of computer generated artistic license that Ill never get back.
This reenactment was like the Monty Python sketch where a dozen old ladies recreated famous battles by raucously fighting with handbags in a big puddle of Mud.
Arsuf was a fascinating battle, yet another example of the amazing leadership of Richard Lionheart, and how he managed to maintain cohesion, with the Hospitalers pulling one way and the Knights of Saint John doing something else. He united the forces, which had been spread after 2 days(?) of Marching and made a massive charge that wiped out many of the attacking Mohammedans. Had he timed it wrong, his forces would have been wiped out.
Their armor sparkles. Makes sense I would want to look my best to.
How much is a jousting stick worth?
there is nothing less immersive than projectile trails - but other than that nice work!
Yes there is, those fountains of blood.
Men never slaughter and maim with more glee and enthusiasm than when they do it for God.
@Noah Pritchett What a profoundly sad confession. Having pride over one's nation of birth is just as stupid as expressing pride over one's skin color. Accidents of birth are nothing to be proud of. True pride should be reserved for personal accomplishments and creative endeavors, not for things over which you had zero choice, such as where you were born and your ethnic heritage.
@Noah Pritchett I agree, skin color is meaningless and nothing over which to be "proud." It is just one of many things which are simply accidents of birth which I regard as silly as objects of pride. As I stated previously, the only legitimate things which deserve expressions of pride from an individual (or a group, for that matter) are ACHIEVEMENTS, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, and CREATIONS, the results of training, education, effort, and devotion.
What's the name of the music that starts at 6:03
2:41 "oh I didn't notice that arrow piercing my shoulder"
whats the name of the second music?
its soundtrack from medieval II total war, sorry I don't remember which one
The crusades were not an evil aggression by Christians as the media has twisted history to now say. Just the fact that Christians were not even allowed to worship safely in Jerusalem tells you how “loving, peaceful, and tolerant” Islam was. It took an army an a treaty to force Islam to act in a remotely decent manner!
Well done thank you
Where did u download this mod?
This was great. Woulda been cool to see Garnier de naplouse and some other knight (cant remember his name) charge the enemy lines by themselves although thats probably not possible to make using attila/mod.
his battle from a distance looks like a real battle
Pretty impressive job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nicely done - what video capture method did you use ?
Geforce expirance and then sony vegas
Who made all dem arrows?
3:47 one guy in the front is tired and yawning all the time.. till an arrow ends it

I miss when Medieval II looked like this.
New here and that was pretty cool.
is the Mongol empire included in this mod?
Doesn't look like the terrain near Arsuf(no mountains near Arsuf etc.)
Okay... wtf. I just saw a crossbow bolt stick onto a soldier's arm. The soldier was alright ._?
2:42
Valentino Suak Armour. Also, that wouldn’t kill him because it hit his arm - even if he was unarmoured. Besides, this is a video game. What I have just told you is based on if he got hit in real life.
tis but a scratch
I feel like watching a natgeo wild documentary except its a medieval battle. Also lmao Medieval 2 music for Attila
Richard was such a superior commander to Saladin. Richard defeated Saladin at every engagement.
Saladin won the war, his army was fighting none stop his best generals died before the 3rd Crusade salahaldine died 6 months after this agreement and he was 70 years old you have no idea how it was for him with strongest Kings of Europe against him he didn't even know king of Germany has died and his army is gone back and destroyed by the turkes he keept worrying about that army and fighting the English and France king and in the end he won the war you can be happy with winning battles but we all know who was the better king loved by everyone even his enemies.
Sorry for my bad English not my first language.
@@qutuzm7753 Saladin did not beat Richard in even a single battle, this is a fact. At Arsuf, the biggest battle, Saladin was decimated by Richard.
@@rboddington yes but he won the war no one can deny that.
@@rboddington the Crusaders main objective was to capture Jerusalem not win battles.
@@rboddington salahaldine was old and made wrong choices in the 3rd cruzede becz of the worry of fighting 3 Kings and plz don't believe they didn't have enough soldiers we talking about strongest Kings of Europe they have to say we were outnumbered and couldn't take Jerusalem yes in the end only king Richard was fighting but his army was well-equipped and around 20k soldiers according to what I keep reading but you talking about a losing war here even if he takes Jerusalem he knows he can't defend it for long in the end salahaldine knows how to manage his army and not break, time was his best weapon.
What's the next battle gonna be?

this is different than the historical account the real battle was more slow in development and pace.
God willed that Salahuddin go down in history as the king of Jerusalem , the crusaders failed to wrest it back
That's cool man.
Is this from any game
Both side saw the other as “heathen”
I notice that the Saladin's army soldier armour+uniform+shield+weapon look like it's come from most of the Mount and Blade mod like PoP and Perisno.
So the question is who copy who? Between the main Dev. Of this total war mod and Mount and Blade
In Medieval 2 the sarcenian archers take place on the cliffs and a few cavalry units are attacking Richards archers from the sea side. Wished you had that in here, too :(
But that wasn't true to the real battle.
How many men in this battle richard have?
Good point about the Saracen arrows not penetrating Christian armour - but the arrows were taking out horses and non-armoured personnel (pages, cooks, followers etc). One thing that was missed (that perhaps would be interesting to insert) was that the Christians rode on big strong boy horses. The Saracens rode fast athletic girl horses. So when the Christian knights charged - a 1000+ boy horses upon seeing 100s and 100s of good looking girl horses were thinking “oh yeah!!”. On the other hand the girl horses were thinking ….. that isn’t documented … but many brave Saracens ended up fighting over their shoulder with no choice of their own.

1:05, Bamboo spears? they are good but Arabs did not have Bamboos. I remembered only Italians had Bamboos, Marco Polo brought alive bamboos and noodles back to Italy from Mongolia or China.
LOL. Where did that snow-covered mountain come from? The entire area is rather flat with some low hills at most. If you want to put in any realistic scenery, you might as well show the Mediterranean sea in the background with Arsuf standing on a 20-30 meter cliff above the beach. Google it.
Wonderful
