Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
A video covering the mechanics of raising a typical medieval army. This should be helpful for most D&D campaigns and in particular give some historical context for the upcoming Kingdoms and Warfare supplement.
Note: I made this video and have a YouTube channel about ancient history. However I've been a big fan of Matt's for a few years now and was able to make the leap to running my own campaign as a brand new DM thanks to him. I hope this video and some of my other content helps provide rich historical content to enrich your own D&D experiences.
Cool, didnΒ΄t know you were also a D&D fan (I know your channel from Total War). Really like the quality you put in your video's, absolute gems, each and every one. And thanks for sharing it here. You are right, this is very useful in the context of D&D and K&W
Wow!!! I used your video on Ancient Roman public courts/trials and made a session out of it when my players got caught red handed in some thievery.
Just watched your video, flip over to reddit and here you are. Great stuff that got me wondering how some of the logistics and such might change in your typical dnd world. Been following your channel for awhile, keep up the excellent work.
I COULD SMELL THE CK3 SPONSORSHIP! I KNEW IT!
I would tack on recommendations of John France, Western Warfare in the Age of the Crusades, 1000-1300 and Christopher Tyerman, How to Plan a Crusade: Reason and Religious War in the High Middle Ages for those interested in medieval warfare, along with the books mentioned in the video description.
The answer is press gangs.
Wow, this was awesome; Iβll definitely keep this in mind if Iβm running a war in my games. I wonder how magic and monsters would affect building an army.
And subscribed. That was fascinating and well paced. Thanks for sharing.
