      Thanks Tim! We learned all too late that they don't seem to like those tiny clips where it's also audio from the show (despite us using them completely out of context and usually as a punch line)
      Shame they nailed this one though, be long time before another video gets close to 1 million views but we won't give up.

      From what I know it becomes harder for their lawyers to defend the copyright against actual violations when they normalize allowing their content to be used in any way that could be argued to just be a reposting of a clip.
      That's often why these takedowns get submitted manually even though it's clearly fair use.
      And on top of that you have the bots set up to scrape videos and see how much they resemble the show which often is the automated flags people get simply because they reached the threshold of what the bot considers to be too similar to the shows content(this is why people often restrict clips of media to less than 3 seconds cause a lot of the bots judge it off roughly 3 seconds as the cut off)

    If Stannis is willing to let Starks call themselves "King in the North" (the way the Targaryens let the Martells keep the titles of Prince/Princess) I think that's pretty much game. Besides dealing with the White Walkers Stannis doesn't care what's going on in the North, and once the Lannisters are dealt with Rob and the North don't care what's happening in the south. But the Northerners have been pissy about having to bow down to a Southern king since Ageon 1. I would says more so than any other region. So if Stannis let them symbolically have their own "king" he'd get their support and together they win the war.
    But Stannis doing that would be harder than getting Joeffry to stop being a prick.

    I agree with most of the video but Sansa is never going to be safe after Jaime's death. Cersei's entire life-long paranoia has been based around her prophecy from Maggie the Frog, specifically the line "Until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear." She is absolutely going to hold Sansa responsible for Jaime's death (taking what she holds dear) and I think she'd find a way to kill her, consequences be damned.

      I can’t go along with the consequences be damned thing. If there was one person who Cersei was scared of and who she never outsmarted it was Tywin. She would be too afraid to kill Sansa as long as Tywin still drew breath.

      ​@@fightsports66 Not in this scenario. If the north aren't taking prisoners, Sansa's value is practically zero. Her only value is for a hostage exchange or for her husband to inherent winterfell. This scenario kills that first option and the second option can be achieved through the fake Arya. In fact with Jamie dead Sansa would be more valuable dead than alive to prevent the lanisters from looking weak. So, I sincerely doubt Tywin would cause too much trouble about it.

    Why would Tywin learn from his mistakes in that scenario? He never did, quite the opposite. Robb and Brynden managed to hijack Tywin's decision cycle at every single step of the war, driving the "old lion" to a point where he was so desperate that he had to resort to breaking diplomatic immunity in order to gain the upper hand.

    • @Huhbroski
      @Huhbroski 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @PiscatorLager It depends on the situation, chevauche was used a lot in medivial warfare, and Tywin used it in a pretty effective strategy drawing out lords from riverrun and scattering them around so him and Jaime destroy smaller hosts, ever wondered how Jaime and Tywin where able to take over the Riverlands so quickly? If this were the BC days, Tywin would have been king of the Rock and the Trident, with a pretty fast, efficient strategy that left very little casualties for the lannisters.
      Robb stark had 6 000 men marching to Riverrun, Roose had 17 000 meeting Tywin, Tywin defeated Roose in a decisive battle taking out 5 000 men,Robb could have marched to meet him on the field but he rode to Riverrun, Robb took advantage of Jaimes eager for glory taking him captive expressive victory. Then he has more than 5000 northerners plus 11 000 Riverlanders, plus 10 000 southeast with Roose Bolton, Tywin was raiding to draw Robb in so they can meet in the field (As the great general the fans paint him as), but instead of saving his kingdom from the pillaging, he instead chooses to marche West for vengeance in a half assed strategy. Robb had two occasions where he could have met Tywin on the field, and he chose to go to the dumber lannisters Jaime and Stefford, which led to easier victories. It is smart, yes, but that doesn't make him smarter than Tywin.

      @@Huhbroski Are you blind? ROBB was using the chevauche! He was not raiding the West for vengeance, he was doing it to lure Tywin to pursue him. He and Brynden explicitly say this. "If this were the BC days" but it's not. Fighting a war with methods suited for a different era is stupid, it's how you lose. You credit Tywin with trying to draw Robb out to defeat in the field, but then you fault Robb for not doing what Tywin wants.
      Tywin wanted to fight Robb on the Kingsroad, Robb avoided that, because he's smart, leaving Roose to hold his attention. Twyin did NOT defeat Roose in a *decisive* battle, because his win did not *decide* anything. It did not determine the course of the war, it did not eliminate Roose's force from the field. Furthermore, Roose blew the battle badly. He had the advantage of surprise, but pulled back to the defense, and then he let his infantry charge superior numbers from their high ground. This was almost certainly deliberate to weaken his rival northern lords.
      Robb went after Jaime, because his war aims were to effect a defeat on the Lannisters, so as to be able to negotiate the return of his father, and to liberate the castle of his grandfather. He succeeded at these objectives, and Tywin flat out admits that if not for Joffrey murdering Ned, he would have traded the Starks for Jaime & the Lannister captives. Furthermore, he gained an advantageous position, blocking Tywin from his homelands, and cutting off his access to reinforcement. With Roose still in place on the Kingsroad, Tywin could not strike at Robb's homelands, and if he advanced on Robb, could be taken in the rear, and furthermore, had to be ready to protect Kings Landing, where his source of political power and authority was threatened by the Baratheons. He parked himself at Harrenhal to have a strong defensive position, to hold out against the northern forces, and he was also between Robb & Roose, so that if they combined, he could intercept one army and defeat them in detail. Meanwhile, he could protect his whole army in Harrenhal, which Robb did not have the manpower to besiege or assault, and meanwhile, was having Stafford lead a new army to join with Prester at the border to come at Robb from behind, to crush him between the two Lannister armies.
      By attacking into the West, Robb crushed the one threat, and then proceeded to turn Tywin's methods back on him. Now Tywin had to protect HIS subjects. Yes, he did not care about their lives, but his whole reputation was built on making everyone afraid of him, on creating the certainty that any offense against a Lannister or a Lannister's possessions will provoke brutal retaliation. Robb riding through Tywin's domain, looting and taking castles, unimpeded, slaying the brother of Tywin's beloved wife, all makes Tywin look weak and ineffectual, and it will make his lords bannermen start worrying more about what Robb is doing to their lands and stores and homes, than about their liege lord's wrath. Tywin was forced to leave his advantageous position in Harrenhal, abandon the protection of Joffrey & Cersei and the capital city, because if he didn't, he would lose the support of his lords, and the terror of his retribution would drop off. Had he been allowed to keep up with what he intended, he would have been too far away to stop Stannis from taking the city, and Robb had a plan to defeat Tywin in the field.
      Robb was always keeping his war goals in mind. He was not running away from Tywin, he was maneuvering to create an advantageous situation to beat him and forcing Tywin to respond to him, instead of taking Tywin's bait. This is not a video game, where you throw superior numbers at that other side and expect the auto-calculations to hand you the victory.

    11:20 you can apply both strategies to maximize the effect.
    Place Bolton men on the frontline of all the bloodiest battles, skirmishes, sieges, etc.
    let them forage and go on small strategic raids.
    Losing 2-3 men in a foraging operation or out scouting might not seem like much but when you have dozens of parties carrying out raids like this and hundreds of Bolton men sprinkled throughout it adds up over time

    18:27 Robb might actually be successful in negotiating because one person: Jorah Mormont. In this scenario, Jorah is likely still a member of Dany's council since Tywin didn't send the "pardon", so Jorah may vouch for the Starks and North and Dany may add in pardoning Jorah's past crimes.

    Upvoting if only to spite HBO. Edit: I'll bring it up again, I was hoping for a slight add on of it, but... eh, anyways. There's a way to deal with large predators like dragons and that's through a tampered with meal. It's a little underhanded, but bringing a giant firebreathing monster to a sword fight is cheating way harder so I think it more than evens out.
    A spike surgically inserted into their food. Often wrapped with leather so whatever cow or sheep or pig you've put it into isn't too distressed by it. Do it really well and you can have live animals with barbed metal in them just waiting to be eaten by a dragon so that chunk of iron can do unholy things to their insides. And won't that just drive their mother insane? But she can't exactly burn people with her source of fire dead and done.

    Honor is actually very valuable and not a fools prize. In the world honor is often the thing that helps make allies and if your enemies capture you, you really want to appeal to honor. But the problem is once you yourself are dishonorable you lose all rights to honor and the rest of the world can be as awful as they want with you which is why no one pities anything bad that happens to Joffrey

    • @Gunleaver
      @Gunleaver วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Or why people feel free to lie to, betray and murder the Lannisters, Boltons, Freys & their men. Surrendering a castle honorably means that everyone inside accepts the judgment and control of the lord to whom you surrender. It does NOT mean delaying until dark so the commander of the garrison can sneak out and keep making trouble, but that's what they do when they surrender Riverrun to Jaime. Lannister-aligned soldiers are found to have been killed after peacefully surrendering. Wyman Manderly uses technicalities to murder his guests while not violating the custom of guest right. This is not how honor is supposed to work. Guest right is not worth much if you have to fear being shot with an arrow from your hosts the moment you are clear of the doorway. The whole point of these courtesies and codes of honor is that everyone is supposed to deal in good faith. You are merciful to the surrendering garrison exactly so they don't have reasons or motives to pull shit like Edmure & the Blackfish did. You honor truces and parlays and treat prisoners decently, so your side will get the same treatment.
      With Tywin's long career of cruelty and ignoring mercy (his line to Joffrey about helping up a foe who kneels is one of the most hypocritical in the books: he does no such thing to the captives after the Blackwater, or the City Watch who did not perform to military standards, because they were cops facing soldiers, and he especially did not do that to the Reynes and Tarbecks or the people of Kings Landing and the Red Keep during the Rebellion), the taboo-breaking Red Wedding, Jaime's history of oath-breaking, which as the Blackfish points out, is a current & on-going thing, given his freedom which was conditional on his oath to return Catelyn's daughters, no one has any reason to believe Jaime's offer of clemency and generous terms. Even afterwards, his aunt, who claims to have disapproved of some of Tywin's actions, is arguing against Jaime keeping his word, because she & the rest of her family flat out do not understand the practical value of honor, although Jaime is starting to get it.

    Still think the Boltons are the biggest issue here. "Spend them" isnt that easy because he will probably swap sides to Tywin even earlier. Because that will ensure they have more men. I would also split them up under the command of other houses. That way they aren't as coordinated.

      You can't do that in a feudal system it's considered oath breaking on the part of the higher Lord this case being Rob stealing peasants from Roose is a crime.

    The value in keeping Theon close is that it would prevent the fall of Winterfell, but there was no way to anticipate that when Robb sent him back to his family. That was not due to Theon's cunning or generalship so much as Ser Rodrik utterly screwing up his duties as castellan. His primary objective should have been the security of Robb's brothers and heirs, period. If there was a crisis at Torrhen's Square, he should have been summoning the other nobles to augment his forces to deal with it, not stripped his garrison to go to the rescue. Credit to Theon, he correctly read Ser Rodrik and guessed at his response, but even so, that he was able to take Winterfell with so small a force is criminal. Even something as simple as letting Bran's wolf, Summer, roam free would have ended the threat, because Summer knew about the intruders first and could not act, because he was locked in the godswood. Had he been free to respond, the men Theon sent to climb the wall to open the gate, would have been killed in the yard, and Theon left twiddling his thumbs to retreat in disgrace or get caught by the returning Rodrik.
    Needless to say, none of this is anything Robb had any way of anticipating. His offer to Balon was the only sensible choice for Balon to make if he wanted anything more than to live in peace and hold onto his lands. Every other king in that war wanted Balon as a subject, only Robb was willing to see him reign as a king in his own right. The ONLY side it made sense for Balon to take was Robb's. But Balon is so petty, vindictive and irrational that he would rather ignore reality and piss away his chance at a crown and his land's chance at independence in order to spite Robb and avenge himself on one of the Houses that brought him down in his first rebellion. Balon is irrational and expecting Theon as a hostage to deter him is expecting rationality from him no differently than his offer of an alliance and a crown.
    Keeping Theon close would not change Balon's actions, it would not prevent him stabbing Robb in the back and it would not gain Robb any naval support in his war effort. What it would mean is that when Balon attacked Deepwood Motte and Moat Cailin, Robb is forced to execute his foster brother and close friend, and his war effort is still disrupted. Rodrik Cassel is still running around the North trying to put out fires, the northmen are still squabbling over the Hornwood inheritance. It's not as bad because Winterfell isn't lost, nor his heirs gone in this scenario, but it's still going to severely impede Robb's war efforts and cause the same kind of problems for him that his raiding in the West does for Tywin.

    Love your theories for how things could have gone, I was wondering if you would do a what if for if Cersei and Robert actually had a child together. The child could be younger than Joffrey, giving us the plot of the show/books and how this hypothetical Baratheon Prince would influence the story. The name Lyonel is one I have in mind, Robert would most likely name him this, both after his ancestor & from Lyanna Stark, his lost love.
    There are so many possibilities for what he could be like, obviously he'd be strong like a Baratheon, but I think he'd also have the cunning mind of a Lannister. Maybe not the smartest in the Seven Kingdoms, but at least higher than average and enough to play the games effectively.

    Even if the Frey marriage proposal is two-faced, Robb could not take the twins. first off all the twins is nigh impregnable and has two be besieged from both sides of the river. Robb has no way of getting to the other side however. Say he manages to cross, Walder Frey still has 4.000 men inside the Twins. If Robb could somehow manage to take the Twins, his army would be too depleted to pose a threat to the Lannisters. great video, sad that the original was taken down. The King In The North!!

  • @selder_7

    Cat is best placed either running Winterfell or negotiating with the Baratheons. I think she would do a better job at the latter than anyone on Robb’s side because she as a mother can rightly chastise this ridiculous sibling rivalry and for them leaving her husband to die when he tried to secure the throne for a true Baratheon. Ultimately it would still fail because Stannis is unyielding, but it would be foolish not to try. Siding with Renly would be the wiser move as he would be more likely to allow the North to be free, but that would’ve not been honourable and would’ve backfired.
    Cat in Winterfell has a far greater disdain for the Greyjoys (including Theon) than any other Stark, so she’d deal with them more effectively. It also uses her maternal instincts as a strength, because she will defend Winterfell at all costs to defend her youngest sons

    A thought occurs about how the North could counter Dany's dragons, though it would depend on when, or even if, the North makes peace with the Wildlings, even if only to deny them to the White Walkers as wights.
    Giant archers. The battle of Castle Black shows they pack a comparable punch to ballistae, the main counter to dragons short of other dragons. And yes, a single archer might struggle to hit a dragon, but what about ten? Twenty? Fifty maybe? With enough arrows loosed your going to hit something, especially against unwary targets who up until this point haven't had to worry about anything on the ground posing a danger to them.
