Still very nice. Can't wait to get to the 6th & 7th Coalitions, as well as more with Julius Caesar.
You guys did a video on the fourth crusade. Are you guys planning to do more crusade videos?
Also do some sengoku jidai battles like oda nobunaga first battle
Kings and Generals A small suggestion... tone down the “epileptic” banners flowing in the wind...
Napoleon was all about positioning, I think it's a good perspective to take on his campaigns.
The Austrians have declared war again!
Napoleon: How many times do I have to teach you a lesson, old man?
Hahaha! Not funny
Just one more Coalition war
@@Lemsch Yess!
Austria is like the old housewife accustomed to bieng raped by evryone

*Napoleon teleporting behind Charles* "Nothing personal"
what is your math emblem on profile picture?
Kid
@@erwinrommel6561 Indeed, that would be the original meme Herr Generalfeldmarschall. However, I thought it would be more appropriate and less rude, that way.
LKVideos “It’s just good business.”
Charles: "Ididn't hear no bell, bastard."
*Well hello there...*
General Napoleoni! You are a sneaky one!
Bonjour Mudafacka!!
Nothing personal kid
Were there any Webers in your army with the German allies?
General Kenobi. This video will make a fine addition in my collection.
An interesting note from this battle that wasn’t mentioned in the video: General Saint-Hilare supposedly greatly distinguished himself under Napoleon’s own eyes and impressed him so much that after the battle, Napoleon had his division paraded and told the general “Well you have earned your marshal’s baton and you shall have it.” Unfortunately for Saint-Hilaire, he was killed a few weeks later at Aspern-Essling when his leg was torn off by a cannonball. He was the only general who was promoted to marshal but died before it could be made official :(
« Votre Majesté a annoncé son arrivée à coups de canons sans me laisser le temps de vous féliciter. Je n'étais pas encore certain de votre présence quand les pertes que j'ai subies me l'ont douloureusement fait réaliser »
« Your Majesty announced his arrival with cannon without giving me time to congratulate you. I was not sure of your presence when the losses I suffered painfully made me realize [That you are here] »
Letter of Archduke Charles of Austria, to Napoléon.
Like always good video ;)
Thanks!
@@Sandouras So classy that they struck without declaring war first
Hahaha...wie schoen
Damn that’s crazy
Marshall Davout is so underrated while he was just amazing, reliable and feared.
Also nown as "the Iron marshall". His actions at Jena were incredible
Now in my opinion, Napoleon was indeed the greatest general in military history...
In terms of victories, that's a yes
@@anadaere6861 on what other terms would you rate a military general?
@@thomasdemarteau6367 besides the winrate, probably the casualties per kill and how influential a victory is
On that regard he's still close on that
Guy is just too good
@@thomasdemarteau6367 seriously? That's how you rate commanders? Well good for you
@@anadaere6861 In all aspects
Great job, Napoleon is really the "god of war" as Clausewitz called him.
Thanks!
Wellington called Napoléon the best military commander ever when asked to compare him with other great commanders in history.
He lost his army twice, in Egypt and Russia, and he had to fled back to Paris like a thief on incognito not like a triunfant general.
Also lost 200.000 men in Iberian peninsula, thats like a 3st army lost.
Finally he lost his campaigns and his crown, he lost his empire..
Thats the best general the world ever seen? Thats the god of war?
The god of war dont abandon his army on defeat, the god of war dosnt know about defeat.
What about Alexander, Cesar, Scipio, Alvaro de Bazán... all of them invictus.
Napoleon was a great general but definitly not the best in history.
@@plusultra4961 Well, first of all sorry to disappoint you but Cesar was defeated, in Gergovie for example. Moreover Napoleon won more battle than all those generals together!!! He is the most victorious general ever. If a guy like Ckausewitz who studied war and fought call Napoleon the "god of war" I think his opinion is quite valuable. Anyway in Egypt in didn't abandonned his army in defeat, he was almost trapped because he had no more ships but not defeat at all and gave the command to Kleber because he heard about situation in FRance and knew he must go back to pursue his "destiny".
In Russia, he finally go back to FRance not like "a thief" but because there was a menace of putsch in Paris: we can criticize that (even if it'w more simple in front of your computer) but we must be honest. By the Way Napoelon often face death on the battlefield, it was the reason the soldiers promoted him as corporal to symbolise his courage after Lodi. In 1814 in the campaign of FRance, he was still pointing some canons himself in the middle of combats.
@@leosp6210 In Egypt his army was trapped and disbanded, thats a total defeat, no need to loose a battle, he knew he haven't the naval superiority, he risk it, he lost it. Still a great mistake for ''the god of war''. Can u tell me now why rosetta stone its on a british museum?
He attacked even hes allies forming against him the biggest coalitions ever seen till that day. He was a traitor, and he paid it, thats not a good quality for the best general ever.
With 30 years, Alexander had already defeat all of his enemies and had a bigger empire than Napoleon. He died like a triunfant semi-god.
Napoleon died in reclusion, not like a god, not like an emperor, more like a defeated general. What a master of war.
You always hear that Napoleon is a genius, but these videos actually give that claim justice
this is the best history channel i have seen until now
Do you know the napoleonic series of
Epic History TV? If you don't, you should, because it's the best IMO
Epic history dude...imho
João Marcelo Agreed!
Also it would be nice to hear about some of Napoleons earlier battles like Lodi, Arcole and the Pyramids.
We will get back to those!
Kings and Generals Thank God 🙏🏻
It's as if Napoleon was from the future and that's why he could predict every move of the enemy.
More like had pro-liberalism and seperatist sympathisers in Austria Hungary.
Napoleon had better intel. It's like he was watching the minimap in age of empire
@@MrBlueSleeves
Intel isn't all of it. His enemies did too but he was much better at
1) concealing his plans
2) predicting what the enemy would do
Did his Intel tell him exactly what Tsar Alexander would do at Austerlitz? No. He knew his enemies well and was very adept at guessing what they'd do
I think he had the historic battles equivalent of Gray’s Sports Almanac in his back pocket 😉
Napoleon would make a battle plan and strategy and then give "enemy army" to each of his Marshals and ask them to make a strategy and battle plans to beat him. Eventually after they all present strategy to beat him he would improve his plans to what made most sense to him. He had amazing generals on his side and used mental capacity of all of them. Ofc it was his genius to make a judgement and put it all together but he had good help as well. Lot of desk work and meetings, scouting, information analization. He didn't sleep much so he was able to go trough a lot on day to day basis.
FINALLY, A NEW NAPOLEON VIDEO AGAIN, YEYYYY
@@derptrolling4740 lmao
You're a fan I assume?
finally manga about Napoleon got an adaptation, right?
@@paranoidandroid6095 ... No my child...
"If you want something well done, you have to do it yourself" Napoleon Bonaparte
The Napoleonic Wars are definitely my favourite series on this channel. Hope you'll continue to cover the entire event.
love this series! I have been reading "On War" by Karl von Clausewitz so being able to "see" the battles during the same time period helps with comprehending the sometimes complex ideas that Clausewitz plays with. Keep em coming!
Pops up on my feed just as I'm catching up on the Kings and Generals podcast! Perfect timing!
Yes yes and..... YES you made my Sunday!! Keep up the great work!!
I always pause the vid, get my coffee and start enjoying. Kings and Generals, thank you so much for all the content you provide.
maps and banners in this video look better than ever.. great job as always
I love this. The Napoleonic Wars were significant on strategic and tactical levels. Like many other battles, small decisions can make or break a battle, and one battle could make or break a campaign. Your illustration of the army movements at the corp level is great, because it helps understand how the battles develop as they did. Personally, I would love to see more Napoleon from you guys. Keep it coming!
I loved that troop boxes...Please dont change that format
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESUMING THE SERIES
So glad to see this long running series continue :)
Why oh why hasn't there been a modern major motion picture about Napoleon? I mean, he's only one of the most influential figures in modern history.
Perhaps because people simply wouldn’t believe that this was all the work of one person
Honestly, absolutely splendid stuff. Really interesting & it urges me to find out more about this fascinating time in history. What a guy that Napoleon was!
love your videos, especially your Napoleonic War video series. Keep up the great work.
Best series your doing and done, keep the Napoleonic Wars coming!
Thanks for uploading,
I can't wait
The best series on this channel is back
Great work, as always. Excellent!
Just what i needed after work to relax & enjoy.
Thnx bro, my evening can't go bad now.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing, a new video about the Napoleonic wars. I was looking forward for this. Thanks for uploading. Very interesting video!
More on the way!
the quality of your videos is the best
Thanks for the subtitles!
Love your channel & Napoleon series but dislike the new banner icon for armies. Too large & too animated with flapping in the wind effect being too distracting. They may look pretty but it's now difficult to focus on division movement especially when armies get close to each other.
True
I think the portraits were the best icon & helped me get a quick overview of which general was marching where and at what time. Much better than names used on other channels. But these banners are annoying.
I like the new banners.
I can listen to Devin talking about the campaigns of prominent figures for hours
Excellent video as always.
Great video! I like the new focus on detail, and the animation it's getting better and better.
yeah its always good to see every detail in wars
Exactly
Another amazing Kings and Generals vid- I love the Napoleonic Wars, watching your videos gives me flashbacks of reading Andrew Roberts “Napoleon the Great” which I highly recommend
Thanks!
Man, it's like you guys can read my mind! I was watching a video last night on Metternich, and was wondering when you guys would upload your next Napoleon episode, and BAM. Here it is.
I was wondering who's gonna be the next sponsor of that serie but i see that they missed a great opportunity here; your videos causes great impacts in our minds!
Keep it up boyz, send us mooooooreee
Great video again thanks for the vid
Another great video by Kings and Generals!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
The music from Napoleon Total War was a nice touch, great videos!
I have an exam tomorrow WHY YOU CURSE ME WITH THIS VIDEO?!?!?!
Anyways awesome video never realised Napolean was this brilliant until I started watching this channel. Loved the animation of the flags of the armies on the map. Keep up the awesomeness!
Thanks for making a whole video about it ! Most people just pass it to reach Essling directly. Wich is not really smart, because the tactics were very interesting. Napoleon was said to consider this five days campaign as one of his best achievement.
On a side note, where I live, in Brittany, there's a famous lighthouse called the "Phare d'Eckmühl". It was largely financed by Davout's daughter, who was princess of Eckmül due to the battle. Because of this, the name is known around here, and it even became the name of an important location in a famous French comics.
I love these videos. Great work.
You cease to amaze me, Kings and Generals.
Love the somewhat new style of videos, don't stop making 'em.
@@rattila5858 What does this have to do with my comment?
@@eliclark9144 Wanted to answer a comment above and missed, sorry x)
It is amazing how at his height Napoleon was one of the most innovative commanders in military history. He never attacked the same location in a line twice and always did the unexpected. Then, with his decline in 1812, Napoleon highlighted the greatest issue of perpetual warfare; that it not only is a terrible drain on resources, but that momentum cannot be kept up and that the aggressor could be destroyed by the more patient adversary.
Loved the operational level but I think the constant flapping of the flags is a bit distracting.
Thanks!
@@KingsandGenerals I kinda agree. Static flag are good enough
@@KingsandGenerals I agree. This higher level look is amazing. And while I understand the need for some movement to draw the eye to the armies, the constant level of flag flapping here just becomes distracting over the course of the video. It's sometimes so extreme that it obstructs the name of the corps and/or general.
I hear you, guys, it will be curbed!
I actually kinda liked the flags. Found the map rotation dizzying, though. Amazing production, either way.
Great channel with good battle illustrations
Thanks!
Dude your videos are awesome!!!
Amazing video as always! It's amazing how Napoleon has achieved in each war but sadly it's 1808 which means certain events will happen soon. Can't wait for the next one!
BRAVO...... I JUST LOVE THESE VIDEOS.
Thanks!
Great videos guys I learn more history online than I did in history classes.
Pay attention in class then :/
This is so good!
Thanks!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Wonderful job thank you so much, I love Napoleonic wars
Awesome Doco
Napoleon: If you are attacked go and regroup at the river Lech
Berthier: Y tho?
people like that are so f'ing annoying...At work you give explicit instructions to account for varying factors you are aware of due to experience and the noodlebrain decides to just do it their own way screwing it up...wish you could smack sense into people like that
@M S jaja something about us humans makes us believe we know better than our more experienced leaders at times, which can be funny when looking back, but i bet Napoleon was not thrilled about it
Berthier was a Topographical Engineer, not a general.
*Napoleon puts on infinity gauntlet*
Fine, I'll do it myself
Keep up guys you are rhe best
God, i love that channel
Napoelon is back, finally! Was waiting for this...
Yes, finally more Napoleon!
Excellent video as always and I like the newer animations/style. Always like and appreciate that you always present background information leading to each battle and giving both a strategic and tactical overview of the situation. However I would've liked it if the banners of the commanders did not waver so much so I can more easily see who's commanding what corps.
Finnaly time for some line battles
Hey K&G can you do more modern wars? Really loved the cyprus one!
Best history channel love all of your videos❤️❤️
Oh boy I am hyped
The animation are just going better and better, those waving banners look awesome 👏 now I am sure you can also improve the battlefield animation because these little boxes start to seem old compared to the rest.
More Napoleon!
MOAR!!!
Thank you
Greetings from Oberstanding (Obersanding) ;-) Nice video
The pinnacle of gentlemanly warfare, the Napoleonic Era is to me one of the most interesting periods of our history. Perhaps you could do a show or two on the minor campaigns of 1815? The focus at that time (1815) was on Quartre bras, Lingy and Waterloo. However Russia, Austria and some of the minor German states also fielded armies against the French as they invaded the empire. Of these other armies the ones engaged in the largest campaigns and saw the most fighting were two Austrian armies: The Army of the Upper Rhine and the Army of Italy. Maybe that is worth a look. Perhaps the Six Days campaign? There are still so many more stories to tell, and this is one of the best channels to watch battle reviews. You guys rock, keep up the good work.
Literally popped in my CZcams feed while I was reading about Napoleon III
I love how Napoleon basically carries the French Empire wherever he goes. Things start looking definitely bad then boom, Napoleon teleports in with whatever troops he has and turns the tide of the war.
Then there are keyboard historians on CZcams who claim Napoleon wasn't the best commander
Keyboard Historians? It's a codename for Anglo-saxon?
Salvinius Augustus I’m English and I think Napoleon was the most important man of the last few hundred years.
@@fredbarker9201
Oh he was for sure. Without German, Italian and Polish nationalism catalysed by Napoleon's restructure of Europe, the 2 world wars would've been very different if they happened at all. A different world war would mean a different United States. Maybe Imperialism would still exist? Hard to tell
Rex Galilae yeah so not every Englishman hates on him :)
@@fredbarker9201
Oh I can respect that. Besides, I wasn't the one to claim that tbh lol
Damn I needed Three Kingdoms total war juice for my current campaign lol Good watch!
Amazing! The Napoleonic Wars must have been terrifying! I'm just glad no one got hurt.
Good stuff
Fantastic video. I love just how in-depth you went with the operational and strategic planning. Were you using "Thunder on the Danube" by John H. Gill as a source? I'm reading it at the moment and noticed quite a few similarities between how he explained things and how you did. Excellent book, very good to use as a source. I appreciate the greater depth and complexity of this video.
I used David Chandler and a bunch of Russian sources. Seems that there is a consensus on the events.
Napoleo is back BABY!!!
EDIT: Can you guys change the banner icons for the armies? These distract us
Good vid 👍
Thanks!
Havent missed a episode
I have been waiting.....
Excellent
I love all of your videos that If i was a teacher which I’m not but If i was i would give you an a+ for all of your videos
*King and Generals > History Teacher*
Nuff said
Come one, History Teachers don't have our luxury of selecting only the most interesting things - they need to give a comprehensive picture of whole history.
Depends on the teacher. Traditional schooling is boring. That's not their fault.
Kings - as in plural - thnx
@@KingsandGenerals I had a history teacher that only played documentaries, such as Schindler's List. This would have been better.
@@LeSethX Schindler’s List is not a documentary, even though you might learn a thing or two from it
Wonderful..
More from the Napoleonic Era!?! Life is good!!
Exactly
2:16 Napoleon was fast because he had a high internet connection while the Austrians were slow cause they have 19G
19g is pretty good tho
Charles was using internet explorer
I love the channal and this episode, but those waving flags are way too busy. I can't concentrate on the names, flags and cores
More please !!!!!!!!
I would love it if you guys could examine more from the pike and shot era, such as the English Civil War, or the 30 Years War
Well i am new here i watched your mongols video you said there is a new season coming can you pls make it now its 2019 so we want it pls can you do it next video about it
I've been fucking waiting for the Napoleon videos again.
Everytime I see an upload from your channel, my depression is cured.
Hope you feel better!
today i learned about the word "Parity". Thanks Kings and Generals.
Welcome :-)
Iam from egypt and Iam a big fan of your channel and videos
Can you please tell my the name of the software you used?
