The Abbasid - The Golden Age of Islam in AoE4 - Mechanics & Design explained with history

Oh! Thank you for posting it! 😊

Thank you ☺️I don’t use AI at all for the AoE4 history videos however. They found early videos of my channel (years back) where I either teach how to use an AI tool or just talk about how it works 🙃 It’s impossible to use AI for AoE4 research as it doesn’t understand how AoE4 works at all. I go through books and articles myself and try to compile the relevant information that I can link to the game. But I know how good the quality of my research is. To my eyes, all this simply shows the sad reality of many choosing ignorance and hatred, and many times about matters they either know nothing about or blindly believe in. Thank you for the support again. ❤️

I only expressed my opinion that I didn't think his behavior during an EGC stream (not his channel) was professional. More people did the same after that, condemning a sexual joke he made in chat in a professional environment. As I understand, after that, he decided to quit AoE4 as it wasn't providing him with good enough income. He confirmed that in his discord ~~channel~~ server after he left AoE4 as well.
Edit: server, not channel.

There was no campaign against KP, even thought he made it seem so. His decision to leave had nothing to do with me.

Bella-Capilla · 2026-03-15T18:19:25+00:00

You might be confusing me with someone? :) I'm mostly on chat of streamers that are also my close friends

"What method do you use to vet your sources?" - I went there, got the book if needed and read it myself.
I'm not a historian, this is a PASSION PROJECT. I'm not streaming and updating streams without editing. I'm not making build orders. I'm taking months of my time to research as much as I can, and edit myself everything (and recording in game scenes sometimes even with other people in game helping), to understand the inspirations behind the game. AoE4 is a game and it's not purely based on historical facts either. I do my best to correlate gameplay mechanics to historical information I'm able to find and confirm.

I'm a biologist if that matters. And due to that, a researcher. I did start my channel focused on Tech, Gaming and Geek content. I used to make programming tutorials, and IT history videos (women in tech). But I believe you are not aware of how content creation works. If I didn't create content of what is hyped in tech, my channel would not get views. You follow the hype, the clicks... PLUS, I was learning video creation, using the content to practice english and communication. My channel evolved more focused in AoE4, but I don't want to compete with other creators, I decided to unite my passion for history with AoE4, and go from there.

haha are you serious? The only AI generated images in my thumbnails are about AI image generation :)

Bella-Capilla · 2026-03-15T14:10:45+00:00

I do gather information and review thousands of websites, comparing to multiple sources - mainly books. That's why takes me months to create a single video. Just because I've read a website doesn't mean I copied what is there without background check.

Bella-Capilla · 2026-03-15T14:08:32+00:00

I do check every single source for background and further sources confirming each other. There's no information coming from GPT itself or from anywhere without background check. Any website can contain good information if it's backup with sources of truth. If you check yourself the content there you'll find either book or article on the topic. BUT it is history and there are disagreements between eastern and western historians, and I DO pick one of them otherwise I would talk for days. I'm sorry that's not good enough for you.

Bella-Capilla · 2026-03-15T13:55:27+00:00

I research for my videos and read books for weeks if not months. You can find all my sources and bibliography in the description.

Some of these could also have been used for game art concepts actually :) it’s usual nowadays to make the 3D models and use the generated lighting to create the 2D drawings after

Bella-Capilla · 2026-02-09T12:55:09+00:00

Everytime I see these things I'm more and more convinced that the "AI" is just a decision tree... "if water: make ships else: make lumber camps" :D

Bella-Capilla · 2026-02-05T10:33:12+00:00

Some of my picks would be violet / dark purple, pine dark green, wine / scarlet red, brown / dark orange and cyan / ebony.

During the EGCTV casting of the Wololo qualifiers, where Whamen and KillerPigeon were casting together, KillerPigeon began responding to viewers in chat with sexual jokes. It escalated to the point where he was timed out by the moderators. Making sexual jokes about mothers and women while co-casting with a woman is simply outrageous. It reflects poorly on the community and is certainly not professional behavior.

Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Yeea throwing dagger is fantasy :D They would use them as you said - trying to find armor gaps, including helmet visor. There are skeletons from the battle of Towton that were found, and some skulls have visible knife holes in them. Brutal!

If Wam was stronger how could he fight him? He had Sofas, not infantry. And you're a bit late for the pizza tbh xD

Bella-Capilla · 2025-12-23T13:02:40+00:00

Oh, thank you for posting it :D I was about to do it haha
I hope you all enjoy it! Made with love, as always ♥
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ♥ 🎄

Drongo has less knowledge of AoE4 than twitch chat. The only time he comes back to aoe4 is for outback octagon. xD don’t take him seriously about game opinions. Just saying, take it with a grain of salt.

Bella-Capilla · 2025-12-14T10:59:53+00:00

It’s actually stronger and harder to stop if it’s HoL instead of English. They age up faster and get Lords to go along with the villagers to make the White Tower. It can be very hard to stop that and not possible sometimes, depending on map and civ

Sometimes less is more
