  1. Essentially the Latin generals and their elite heavy cavalry went in full Leeroy Jenkins mode and got trapped and killed off or captured. However, the vast majority of their army remained in tact and in the long run they were still able to retain their power on the Balkans for decades to come.

  2. A very good representation of the battle of Adrianople, one of the decisive battles in history. We have prehistory, development, suspence, geography, everything that could be demanded. I also think that Kaloyan first offered peace to the Baldwin but the latter refused him because he thought that Asen brothers had been rebels and their land was Byzantine – i.e. Latin – by legal right. It was stupid and contrary to the advices of Innocent III who had just given Kaloyan king's crown recognising him as a legitimate ruler. So, we can see something like a divine judgement in this case…
