+Mad Max I love how all of the Spainish colonies are some large nations yet still some of the poorest lol. And yet British colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are thriving new economic superpowers.

Excellent video which was very well put together but severin51 is right, Philip was not married to Mary I, Queen of Scots, (Mary Stuart) but her namesake Mary I, Queen of England (or Mary Tudor/Bloody Mary) However, Philip was more than a little annoyed when a Catholic Monarch was executed by a Protestant one.

imagine Saylor commented on 02 Feb 2011

Cool video!! Although King Phillip's response to the destruction of the Armada was in full~" I sent my ships to fight against men and not against the winds and waves of GOD!"

@ejcs45 it used to be mightier before England wooped their ass and this is how it went 1. Spanish launches ARMADA against Brit which were HUGE WAR SHIPS 2. They reach England and unexpected thing happens which was that back then ship fighting style would be that they would face next to each other and shoot cannons but England created new tactic by making small ships that were faster and shoot them ran away turned around and shoot them AND they ramed into Spanish ships 3. Spain ran and storm hit

Wetzelbob commented on 14 Jul 2009

potco is an unrealistic shitgame without any references to the real world their galleon is 50 feet wide. and their frigate has a gigantic... i dont know what it is sticking out of the front not to mention the fact that there is voodoo and that the cannons hold 3 balls. There is also only 3 types of ship with a light variant a medium variant and a war variant. There is absolutely no realism in land battles(no blood no anything just a light). And dont get me started about the size of "towns".

onlypeaceindeath commented on 03 Mar 2009

It's just what i've read and heard about. Both on history programms on TV and in some history books states that the spanish ships were only equipped with lighter cannons with poor range and that the british ships though fewer in numbers had more powerful guns and far more robust hulls than the spanish ships. The only real strength the armada had over the british was its size and that was sufficient no doubt. The spanish warships were just transport ships with guns.

FireFistPortgas commented on 20 Sep 2011

I really miss the possibility of being part of the Dutch nation in the game, They had quite a big fleet, capable of fighting on par and even winning against the brits, which is quite an accomplishment considering the size of Holland. Plus, they won their own land against the spanish (1568-1648) partly because of their fleet. Ofcourse the dutch are part of the game, just a shame you can't join it as a faction.

fred karno commented on 28 Sep 2010

@magicmomentsgo "hey am scottish a hate the queen and if a lived in those days a rather would have been fighting for the spannish or the french navy rather than the english" Ah, but King Jim wouldn't have let you. In 1586 good Queen Bess bought him for £4000 a year and he agreed to support England in the event of a war with Spain. If there is one thing a sweatie can't resist it is an English pound.

Wow..alot of ppl think that spain was not that good but reading history spain was the best country at tht time ..i should say that alot of northamericans i mean usa ppl dont even know wheres spain they think all ppl tht speaks spanish its mexican tht make me Laugh ^^ been a mexican i should say i am very PROUD¡¡ that mexico forms part of the history of spain ..Viva Españaa¡¡¡.

Hayden Cristensen commented on 29 Jan 2011

@SuperJogvan what? Spain's armies were inferior in number to the enemy in almost every battle. The old-thirds were feared throughout Europe your beloved English always avoided ground combat against Spain, that sound the battle of Cartagena de Indias? 3000 Spanish soldiers defeated 24,000 British soldiers and sank much of its fleet. anyway ... is what you speak without knowing.

antonio perez commented on 16 Dec 2011

@KOOSHTYBOH In the land, the spanish tercios (army) were invencible in those days. No doubt if the armada arrive to Flandes (Holland) and take the spanish army(10.000 men) to England,another history would be tell....(sorry for mi english). The storm saved your island,(no doubt you're very brave people,but the storm did the work, even the english historians say that...)

onlypeaceindeath commented on 02 Mar 2009

The spanish ships were not design to be warships. They had weaker guns and thinner hulls. The british ships could wreak havoc on the spanish ships without enter their cannons reach. And spain was a dying superpower during the end of the 16th century but still dangerous. The spanish armada was their last chance to regain their status in the world and they failed.

Zack2504 commented on 18 Jun 2010

@Kosty19 Kosty this has got to be one the best mmorpg games out there. Because what other game that is set in this time period can you actually sail ships in like this? Also did you hear that in 1.26 they are removing the 1st and 2nd rates? They claim there to overpowered. Simple fix reduce firepower by 30 or 40% and reduce there range.

Zack2504 commented on 25 Sep 2010

@ejcs45 True but in the 18th Century England was mightier because remember the French and Indian War England fought against both France and Spain and won. And also that England during the Napoleonic era saved Spain by invading there southern tip and freeing Spain from Napoleon.

jasincl commented on 29 Apr 2010

although brit i have to admit the spanish could have suceeded if there was no storm but the british ALSO hade fire boats the spanish didnt witch sunk around 15 spanish but in the 1700s the british navy=Un-beatebl the british navy was the storngest from 1700s-1945

GamingMilk commented on 20 Jul 2011

@magicmomentsgo and @ejcs45 Actually it was the skill of drake and the Fucked up admiral of spain Britain has the mightyest navy and no power on earth can match the might of the British navy and stop being a scottish twat and learn to love Great Britain!

onlypeaceindeath commented on 28 Mar 2009

that´s not what i heard, but it might me correct. But if i remember correctly, the spanish tactics within the spanish armada was to board the english ships as much as possible. So if they had stronger guns why is it that they favored boarding so much.

SuperJogvan commented on 29 Jan 2011

@RaIdeN55566 The reason it dominated Europe was due to it political and religious standing. Spanish rulers were inheriting parts of Europe, with the backing of the Church. Its military power of mainly that of quantity, not quality

antonio perez commented on 16 Dec 2011

@dkrustyklown tHAT IS RIGHT. The spanish commander was Blas de Lezo "half-man",We study this in Spain but those english dogs only study Spanish armada in 1588 and Trafalgar. Spanish soldieres are the bravest

Kosty19 commented on 08 Aug 2009

During Beta the Spanish most of the time had an alliance with France. We did a lot of trade with french guilds and players. In the footage shown in this video the Spanish fought against brits and pirates.

atunaco commented on 13 Aug 2009

Yes! Once up on a time, we ruled the world and we were enemies of anybody else. Our arrogance just can be compared with that the Northamericans show today. There is nothing new under the Sun.

hey am scottish a hate the queen and if a lived in those days a rather would have been fighting for the spannish or the french navy rather than the english. so am with you on this.

SuperJogvan commented on 14 Jan 2011

Spanish military power has always been touch and go. Fair enough, they beat a bunch of Peruvians with sharpened sticks, but they could not hold their own against a European army.

tiago marques commented on 25 Jun 2010

and back in the day france wasent bad at war neither their ships were bigger and harder to penetrate so ud have to get close and if u cud get close u cud consider yourself lucky

@ytword so who has done this sweet and unbelievable palace is a former leader of andalusia (spain now) and his name is abdulrahman al awsat. The person who showed the whole of europe the great , sweet looking and most importantly , he changed andalusia from dark to light by 3 things : 1- Coexistence ,2- education to learn or science , 3-secure and justice. europe took this things and changed directly 360 from dark to light in life when andalusia were taking over by the Crusades

sultan abdulaziz commented on 26 Jul 2013

@Ytword it isnt the arabs who was jealous on the amazigh , we were strongly coexisting with them for many centuries, and since youre talking about the arabs and their racism . There was other nationality of arabs that is a racism national and sick people who live near to egybt

Kohl423 commented on 24 Sep 2015

Earlier answers got this absolutely correct. The ninth were not destroyed in what later became Scotland but were transferred to the Rhine where subsequent relics had been discovered confirming their location. Despite being a beautiful country Scotland did not offer the Romans any resources they were desperate for so it made sense not to waste men and equipment invading that territory. Despite popular myths the Romans and the northern folk traded regularly and people moved pretty freely across Hadrian's wall doing what comes naturally. Visiting relatives and trading. Wars only suit religious/political leaders or the power hungry. Relations between the "general public" were usually more settled than we are led to believe.

dardo1201 commented on 27 Jan 2016

+Kohl423 The Romans build a 2nd wall deeper in Scotland even (although it wasn't actually manned for a long period of time), so that would indeed mean that they had contact with the people inside.

'T' Savelli commented on 19 Dec 2015

+Kohl423 Well put..

Taylor Ahern commented on 15 Nov 2015

+Kohl423 Very well written, and revealing. And you are mostly right, yet Rome did conquer and hold on to the lower part of Scotland for close to two centuries. It was the more mountainous Highlands that they avoided, while eventually they did abandon the lower part, thus establishing and erecting Hadrian's Wall, which roughly corresponds with the modern day border between Scotland and England. Great stuff though (and hats off to you my man)!

UniversEEEEE commented on 11 Jul 2015

Too bad out of tens and tens of legions, they only had one there. Noone knows what really happened there and such typical hollywood crap movies do not represent anything correctly. Romans looking good as always though, in their formation walking through the woods.

+UniversEEEEE Legio IX Hispania wasn't massacre at all. He was transferred to Nijmegen in Germania Inferior (on the Lower Rhine), where it was in the 120s. One of the finds that prove this, is a metal object found in Ewijk, a bit west of Nijmegen, now in the Valkhof Museum. The fact that we know the names of several high officers of the Ninth who can not have served earlier than 122 (e.g., Lucius Aemilius Karus, governor of Arabia in 142/143), is another indication that the legion was not destroyed but transferred. https://rambambashi.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/common-errors-4-viiii-hispana/ The history of massacre is an english fairy tail, like Asterix.
