I legitimately unironically literally overheard this conversation at my last job:

>Double gay faggot: I don't get it. What's the appeal of this show (GoT)?
>Dumb useless fat black whore: Oh you know I like it because it's like, historical and shit.

>>3202638

>>3202665
No, it does not. It has badlands, but no sandy deserts.
>>
>>3202595
Clearly high middle ages, so 14th or 13th century AD

Have you ever seen the Dollars trilogy with Clint Eastwood? All the scenes were shot in Spain and not the American southwest.

>>3202637
This might be a silly question but when were couches invented? Weren't those invented only quite a bit after the Middle Ages?

>brainlet who's never been near a real desert thinks deserts are determined by the amount of sand
You don't even know what the word desert means I'm afraid.
>>
>>3202738

To be fair, he specified "sandy" deserts. >>3202679
>>
early 15th, it is based on the wars of the roses with various other history memes thrown in

the map is an upside down ireland

starks= york
lannisters=lancaster
the vale = wales
riverlands = rhineland and robber barons
the reach = france
iron islands = vikings
kings landing = paris/constantinople
stormlands = christian spanish kingdoms
dorne = andalusia

Deserts are more than just sand dunes you tard

He said that it has badlands.

>>3202609

If it were the early 15th century, there would lots of arquebus being fielded by then.

>>3202638

I honestly don't see anything outrageous about that comment.
>>
>>3202787
>No, it does not.
That's what he said.

Followed by "It has badlands, but no sandy deserts."
>>
>>3202595
full metal plate armour was from 1420 to 1485, so that period.

flying reptiles were 66 million years ago
>>
>>3202595
Clothing made up, could be even today, with hipster wildlings

Diplomacy, Renaissance

Wartactics, since 560BC Sun Tzu

Weapons, High Medieval and Renaissance

Armor, late medieval 15th century

>Weapons; High Medieval and Renaissance
Wrong, for instance there's no such thing as gunpowder or cannons, and bows are still the regular ranged weapon rather than crossbows, who in real life dominated bows since the 15th century or something like that, far before the renaissance.

A song of ice and fire is based on 14th century armour, and more like 11-13th century tactics.

Game of thrones isnt based on fucking anything, it's what retards thought the middle ages where.

I unironically don't know, but don't think so. Gurrms setting is so bland and fuzzy that it's impossible to draw a reference to any culture in specific except "hot fertile crescent place"
