Go Vlad Tzepes It was a night attack and he dressed his few soldiers in ottoman uniforms. The confusion was huge and the Turks continued slashing each other long after the valachian troops withdrew.~:thumb:

All my respect to Will Wallace, but I go for Vlad the Impaler (as a Romanian, I agree I might be a little biased on this matter http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif ).

BTW - he was, indeed, depicted as one cruel ruler, but brutality and cruelty towards ennemies and hostages was quite common during Middle Age. Impaling was one of the methods used to strike terror in your ennemies.

My vote goes to Vlad the Impaler. Nice guy to have around if you need to impale someone, specialy ottomans.

Vlad/ Wallace is a damn Scotsman And Vlad is a cooler naem (never heard of vlad tho, so cant make a tacticl comp[arison.

Vlad is the historical figure "Dracula" was based on. He was a true badass, and impaled people on pikes, hence his nickname, "Vlad the Impaler." He wins over some never-bathes-because-he's-too-busy-fighting-the-English Scotsman. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

I read up on Vlad. He stills kicks the scotchmans ass.

No actually the historically dracula and the vampire have nothing to do with each other.


Dracul in a.... (whatever is spoken in wallachia, I think its romananian) means both "Dragon" and "Devil" THe suffix a means "son of".


Vlad the 3rds father was made "Knight of the Imperial Dragon" and there had Dracul added to the end of his name, and as such his son got Dracula added to his name.



Bram stoker got the idea from the concept that vampires were the son of a devil which he got out of a romanian (?) dectionary and thats how he got the name of his character.



One huge coincidence. But none the less a coincindence.

It's romanian language, Ef.

And "Dracul" means only "Devil". Taht's all. The name derived from the Dragon Order of Vlad's father, but "Dragon" in romanian is just like in english, "Dragon".

I remember playing an old warcraft III style game called Dracula(AKA:Vlad Tepes)thats the only game thats was at least historically accurate,becuase in it you don't fight wolves,bats,skeletons and zombies but Turks

i vote for Wallace because i've never seen countless BS myths about Wallace being perpetuated all throughout today's pop culture

i do however, see countless BS myths about Vlad being perpetuated all throughout today's pop culture.

if Vlad was really so great, then there would be NO NEED for anyone to make up myths about him.

based on this, i conclude that Wallace would massacre Vlad.

Before "Braveheart" only a few people knew who William Wallace was. Everybody knows Vlad the Impaler and his more famous personae Dracula. Nuff said... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...evalcheers.gif

Vlad Tepes The Historical Dracula


Read that and know why Vlad owns the weak Scotsman.

Great link, Discovery1 http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif

i think someone needs to make a historical 3 hour long movie named Draculaheart

once that is done, then and only then will i be able to judge fairly who would Win

til i've seen Draculaheart, i'm sticking with Wallace http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif

A movie could be made like those other movies that i consider stupid (alien vs preditor, Fredy vs Jason). It could be call Wallace vs Vlad and then we could all see who wins and settle this dispute.

k...the thing is calling William Wallace a "Scotchman" is insulting to Scots. He wasn't Scotch. Scotch is the name of a drink from Scotland. The proper term is Scotsman. Just had to point that out...cuz that kind of bothered me... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...nquisitive.gif

I voted for Braveheart.

I don't really know all that much about Vlad the-evil-dude-who-was-sadistic-and-did-I-mention-evil except from what I skimmed off this topic.

It seems this is another one of those debates that will never be finished (not peacefully, at least http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/gc-argue.gif ).

Braveheart was a good guy. Vlad wasn't.

(and yes, I know this is who would beat whom, but I still prefer Braveheart: his PR has been botched by Mel Gibson, but so has Vlad-the-OK-you-don't-want-to-read-all-these-dashes) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Vlad in 6 rounds http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

I read I think all this topic,
and I don't think needs more info to be added exept a small note:
almost all the info regarding Vlad comes from the Turks(enemy) and from the germans pamphlets(he was used to persecute the german merchants).
Form that sources I don't think he would never get a good sponsor.

But I still like that badass http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
