Some Byzantine videos for SS Byzzie fans

[Grand Duke Vytautas]

Hi, I watched some docs/videos before starting my SS 6.1 Byz campaign to get into the mood, thought I'd share with you:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

(click to see more parts of particular video)
The Byzantine Empire (kinda lecture about main events)


Engineering an Empire Byzantines with Peter Weller (awesome)


The Glory of Byzantium


Very cool presentation of Byzantium


The Byzantine Empire


Fall of Constantinople 1453


Battle of Manzikert


Armies of Byzantium

Hope you'll enjoy them as I did, I just love my current Byz campaign - the strategic location, buildings, units (LINK which have both western and eastern flavour and it's also quite hard camp as your neighbors are Hungary, Seljuks and Venice, later when Mongols arive the real fun will begin lol

Hey, you are disturbing my work on my Livonia mod by forcing me to start a new Bizantine campaign!

Looking forward to watching these

There is currently a complete overhaul of the Byzantine unit roster in the works to make it much, much, much more historically accurate. We will be providing a submod for SS6.1. Check the link in my signature for details

edit: Ok I've watched a few of them. The one with John Romer was interesting (as it was a real documentary) but it wasn't the whole thing unfortunately. But the one labelled as the "Battle of Manzikert"...all I can say is go to Wikipedia, type in Manzikert and look it up yourself. You'll get much, much, oh so much more information from there than in the 8:51 that it takes to watch this. This nine minutes of still shots and maps interspersed with some M2TW footage (of the wrong factions I might add) isn't exactly interesting
