This guy's absolute fury at the consistent lack of ditches is hilarious.
"You can just throw rocks. They cost you nothing, take no preparation and you throw them at people and they get hurt. It's great!" Good lord this guy is hilarious, we need him back again please.
The greatest warrior in history was not a Bowman or a Swordsman or a Spearman. He was a digger. A digger who dug ditches. When he was done, he dug more ditches. Ditches help you win wars. I learnt this when I started throwing rocks at people because they got hurt and it was great. Thanks Roel!
If this guy doesn’t have at least two ditches surrounding his house I’m gonna be really disappointed
I'm absolutely entranced with how unimpressed he is at the lack of ditches and frivolous use of fire. 10/10
"they'd try to disrupt the formation, not slam into it and hope it goes away" His logic/sarcasm combination game is 10/10
"Should you find yourself fighting an army of ice zombies..." - Roel Konijnendijk, Oxford Lecturer
I love how brutal this guy is in his ratings. Finally someone who doesn't hold back.
"Where is your ditch? WHERE IS YOUR DITCH! You know this!" This guy is great.
"Should you find yourself fighting an army of ice zombies..." begins furiously taking notes
Q: How do i win ancient battles? A: Dig ditches Q: How many? A: Yes.
"People generally try not to die" - that's the kind of incisive analysis I'm here for!
"Camels, always useful, because they scare horses. - They would use camels to scare off enemy cavalry" So that's why Camel Riders in Age of Empires 2 deal bonus damage to Cavalry. ;o
The Game of Thrones writers extensively researched medieval warfare and siege tactics for the express purpose of doing none of them correctly
11:47 "So again, where is your ditch? Where is your ditch?! You gotta have a ditch!" 12:09 Deep sigh "Stop it with the fireballs!" This man is so sassy and I absolutely love it
"People try not to die" Funny how in so many movies people fully accept that they're canon fodder.
Why is no one talking about how he literally caught an actor falling and just proved he was right?!?!
The "trying not to die" part is sadly overlooked by Hollywood.
"About a 100 years ago a scholarship at Oxford who clearly had rugby on his mind"... Priceless.
