      I thought it was explained that Dragons are very intelligent, and over time they learn what's friend or foe, or dangerous.
      I can see how the 2 minds are linked, so it helps each other see something the other one doesn't, but I don't think the Dragons are THAT dumb, but I can see how they'd be better to share info between each other through their telepathy/link

    What I love about is that Aegon was unique to fantasy. He wasn't an evil conquered hell bent on conquering just for conquest. He was a benevolent and merciful conqueror. He didnt flat out slaughter people. He gave them a chance and rewarded them and still allowed them to continue on with their customs. He only used violence when it was necessary. After the war he even adopted their customs and religions and made it a goal to maintain peace and improve relations with Westeros. He was a good good guy and a great king.

    It’s amazing how much lore is made for the world of Game of Thrones. When they could have just said that Agon cane with 3 dragons and conquered the 7 kingdoms. Instead they made names for the battles and describes the battle tactics used. It goes to show how much story can come from series like Game of Thrones. I just think it’s so cool.

    They need either to make a big budget movie or mini-series of both Aegon's Conquest and Dance of Dragons.
    These two prequels stories deserve to be adapted to the screen.

    Ok now this isn't fair. Historical battles with detailed context leading up to the battle and now my favorite book series with a first video based on a battle that predates the shows timeline? This is now my favorite channel. If you need any other ideas you can try: the greyjoy rebellion(siege of pike and the naval battles), the dornish wars, Three Thousand of Qohor, the many battles of riverrun in the books' timeline and of course the battles of blackwater bay and the wall. Either way thank you for the best content.

    I'm actually surprised by the amount of dislike for any sort of fiction on this channel. Hell, I'm surprised that there are so many history purists here; as if facts of the past are /the only/ thing that matter. As if legends of old had no impact on history, or, on the contrary, impacted directly by history.
    A lot of this is apparently coming from the notion that this episode covers a "stupid popular TV show" - fair enough. I just am amused by this argument considering that this topic is rarely - if ever - covered in the show. Instead most of the info on this era in general comes from the ASoIaF books. If anyone's actually read the stuff, they'd instantly realize the appreciation G.R.R. Martin has for history and politics. If you look beyond the pawns moving across the map, you'd realize that war is an incredibly political and social ordeal. Martin writes knowing this, and I believe that deserves a level of respect and not an, "ew, fiction", response.

    • @darthnate117

    Hey guys, thx for creating all those awesome videos.
    Also i don`t think the fields of fire where planned to be a massacre. With "only" 4000 dead out of 55000 enemys, Aegon clearly tried to single out the two kings and their Lords. The wind blowing in the direction of the infantry might have caused many unintended burnings. Aegon is not the type off guy to kill thousands of soildiers for following their lord into battle. He might have even delayed his attack for an hour in hope the wind would calm down.
    In general most of the "historians" in the ASOIAF books are strait out liars trying to push their own narrative. Just like in real life...
