fun fact about mercenaries in medieval times (related to flaming fists being mercs themselves): nobles had the duty to serve in military positions in medieval times. but being sent off to war was very inconvenient as they wouldve had a hard time managing their estates from far away. one of they ways they went around this was hiring mercenaries. this is one of the reasons attributed to europe eventually developing standing professional armies since the fall of the roman empire. this mainly refers western europe. how mercs lead to standing armies reminds me of the flaming fists.
@garnauklaufen6704
@garnauklaufen6704 5 ай бұрын
I don't think thats true. You usually would have some kind of stuart. (Or a wife.) Also, feudal society was based on personal relationships, so your liege lord would expect you to appear in person if he called you to arms. Merceneries at this time might be something like a knight without their own domain and no formal allegiance. As far as I'm informed, actual mercenaries appeared in the late medieval period, because that's when the economy became far more relient on money rather than exchange of goods. Due to numbers and tactical discipline they proved to be more efficient than feudal armies based on knights, so they replaced knights more and more. (That, and also the more and more absolutistic monarchs no longer wanted for their nobles to be military powers in their own right.) For a city to be mainly guarded by mercenaries would have been rather uncommon. Cities usually had laws prescribing to their free citizens to procure and maintain armors and weapons (the quality based on income and status within the city), and regular practice. So cities usually had no standing watch at all, but if a war broke out, the citizens would be mobilized to defend the city. The organizational structure of city armies was based on the guilds.

I’d say this: BG3 is an exceptional game, deserving of all the praise it is getting BUT let’s just say the lower (and outer) city look more like Atkatla than what BG was supposed to look in the lore as everything is very bright. In terms of detail the way the city was represented in BG1 is still unmatched but it probably impossible to expect a game with BG3 graphics (and dialogues) being able to go in such a minute level of detail

Thanks so much once again kind Sir. Having played D&D as a TTRPG for a number of years prior to the release of "BG 1", I was absolutely ecstatic upon its release. Bioware hit it outta the Park on their first outing, with the add-on expansion "Tales of the Sword Coast", that included the infamous "Durlag's Tower", cranking the effort up to 11. Then, beyond expectations and belief, Bioware released "BG 2" (and its eventual expansion) and it was even BETTER! This was the Golden Age for CRPGs, with Bioware's off-shoot Black Isle, also giving us The Ice-wind Dale games and the brain-breaking Planescape: Torment. I actually totally lost count of the amount of times I played these games but I know I tried at least EVERY PC Class at least once in all of them, heh. Was happy to see you include a few pics from Bioware's efforts in your vid, Buddy. Thanks again! 🥰 p.s. I'll also state that the usually overlooked IWD expansion "Trials of the Luremaster", was one of the most difficult RPGs I ever played. That beast of a game was savage on my PCs! When it insisted on a minimum character level to enter it, there was assuredly good reason. I damn near couldn't escape!

Given I'm playing Descent into Avernus currently and we're about leave Elturel in hell to go to the surface of Avernus, I can say its a lot more engaging than the city of Baldur's Gate since the campaign really glosses over a majority of the places there that aren't relevant to the plot. We've also been playing with additional alternate content like Fall of Elturel that change up the story to have us start in Elturel and witness its fall rather than the lackluster beginning in Baldur's Gate and only hearing about it.

I am gonna run a campaign that starts in Baldur's gate and the party will (should, if things go right) follow in the steps of Balduran, and sail to Anchorome, then if we get to later levels some spelljamming will come into play too (hopefully). In any case, there is so little about Anchorome, and there is so little content about it on youtube too, I wonder if it would be a good idea to make a video about it.

Great stuff! Thanks Mr.Rhexx. And now knowing about these other continents.. I praise highly of my two DMs who mindstormed their campaigns and one shots to take place in and by the coast of Maztika! Incorporating missing/ lesser known dragons from the three main families of Chromatic, Gem and Metallics! For example, they got inspired by and using YELLOW coastal salt dragons that zip and flap their aerodynamically wings ( like Copper dragons ) around the upper island(s) of the trackless sea. To pass you have to have treasure tribute to pass into the shores of Maztica. And yes, my DMs use ORANGE dragons in the deep jungles of Maztica. The oranges flammable, oily salvia incinerate anyone in contact with the humid jungle air and washing it off in lakes make you go KABOOM! And the actual PURPLE dragons who live in the halfway Middle to Upper Underdark, goes on nightly hunts to feast on prey animals but prefer savannas, less tree rich areas. Plasma scoring inbound! BTW! The orange dragons are in a constant territorial multiway disputes with Green, Black and even Topaz, Bronze and Amethyst dragons! Thanks and shoutout to Richard Alan Lloyd, Dungeon Dad and AJ Pickett for getting a CLUE from where my dm's got their dragon inspiration from. I bet some of them are watching MrRhexxes videos ;)

I’m DMing a Descent into Avernus campaign which starts in Baldur’s Gate, and much of this information was left out of the section devoted to the city. There was a lot of information there and I think the book did a good job, but I appreciate this information too.

Seems like a good target for evil druids. You could have some real moral tension between the extreme actions of some radical druids vs the corruption and urban extremes of Baldur's Gate.

You should talk about the Grand Dukes at some point, there's some interesting things involving the current Dukes, one in particular comes to mind honestly... There's a Grand Duke who's being enthralled by Mind Flayers according to DiA, whether that comes into play in Balders Gate 3 I do not know since I haven't gotten that far either but it might you know.

Another reason why baldur's gate isn't as populated as the other cities on the coast: in the past 170 years, roughly three generations, they have been the center of the time of troubles, the bhaal spawn crisis, the iron crisis, all the nonsense that sarevok was doing, the murder in Baldur's gate scenario, descent into avernus, and now everything with baldur's gate 3. Imagine, if any country in our world would have gone through all of that in the equivalent of a hundred or so years. People would be sprinting away from that location by the thousands.
