  136. I have fond memories of sending my wardogs to swarm barbarians, and also of men falling off of walls during siege assaults, so I tried to beat the game after over ten years of distractions like school, and despite having the biggest empire from Germany to Hibernia to the Sahara, and despite the Brutes and the Jules having puny territories compared to mine, I failed again. Why? Because I try to make alliances with factions like the Scythians but they refuse to even though it is in their interests due to mutual enemies. Egypt focused all of its vast resources on me, and it took me a lot to destroy their first army led by the Pharaoh in Libya. If it weren't for the stupid Senate ordering me to murder my own leader, which I refused to do because I have morality which is also why I never built brothels when playing Medieval 2: Total War, I would have been able to beat Egypt eventually, but I had to get divided again, and I wasn't finished with the Brits who were reduced to a few Baltic areas. So it was me against the entire reachable world.... and it just doesn't work. I saw the Spiffing Brit playing it and beating it in I think less than twenty turns by extortion and diplomatic skills. I'm such a noob, but I prefer Age of Empires 2 in my realistic maps in my channel including Europe, the world, Eurasia, the Far East and the Spanish lake. I don't like that the Iberians are depicted as mere Celts when the true Iberians are not Celtic, but look like me because I'm Iberian of the original stock as I can tell from deduction. I also did a realistic map of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East for the original Age of Empires where I conquered Rome and Carthage with Iberia represented by the Carthaginian civilization.

  196.  Abu Troll al cockroachistan  If he went around it was because China didn't finish the wall or underestimated the enemy or both. Caesar finished his walls. Cavalry cannot charge if he plants spikes or has men with spears waiting for them. He was known to use barbarian cavalry, and had Roman cavalry at his disposal, which he could have used to intercept or distract the enemy, letting his engineers complete the walls which Romans were known to do in a relatively short time. Wooden walls don't last long against fire arrows but there are ways to prevent fire damage, like using hide and making sure they are wet, or plating the walls with something perpetually fireproof. The Roman Empire had the funds to make it not just possible but abundant. "Caesar would meet the same fate as Crassus or Anthony against Cav archers" If he went into the middle of a desert far from resources, yes, but he wasn't an idiot like you wish. Using the terrain to his advantage he could counter enemy archers. If he went through Mesopotamia by a river, he could easily use that as a natural wall, and cavalry archers would be limited in their options. Persians relying on cavalry archers is ironic considering the Mongol devastation was thanks to cavalry archers. Mongols took down Russians with ease because Russia is mostly vast plains like in Ukraine. Western and Central Europe allow the defenders much more power to succeed against those like the Huns. After all, in Gaul, Huns were defeated by Romans and barbarian allies, and Huns struck more terror into the Roman psyche than any Parthian or Persian ever did.

  318. @1salvaje "You might want to modify your behavior… I take it you are well aware of your future destination." Typical of an atheist fanatic to whine that they can't make a doormat out of a Christian. You love to bully, and you're using the "But your religion lets me bully you card!" It does but saying you pull rights out of your ass isn't really wrong since it helps people see your position for what it is, so they won't be deceived by the bigot who pulls imaginary rights out of his ass saying Philistines deserved to live even though their civilization was focused on child sacrifice just like the Phoenician. If I watered it down, it would not be so clear to passers-by just how narcissistic and empty your side is for acting like you can crown yourself the king of the universe and dictate what is good and what is evil, and to grant rights, as if you were better than any other mortal. The principle of the greater good is in the Bible, which justifies things normally unjustified, such as the fact that a Christian can kill a robber to save his wife from rape. But you would say the Christian doing so is going to hell because they killed someone. Yet Jesus spoke positively of the good shepherd who FIGHTS THE WOLVES to save the sheep. By making it clear what you do, which is pull imaginary rights out of your ass, I am helping passers-by understand how nasty you are for attacking Christianity, since your basis for doing so is equivalent to throwing shit! LOL! My series crushing your atheistic paradigm proves atheism justifies all evil, so it's hypocritical of you to accuse anyone of evil.

  325. @1salvaje "God told them to love everyone, but they would also have to conquer, subjugate, enslave, and exterminate subjugate other nations, and peoples to further their own political interest, especially if those external groups did not submit and assimilate under the one true god." The Bible says God loves the world, but it also says he hates evil people, and the Bible says most of the world is evil, so the Bible actually teaches that God cares about everyone, but hates all who do evil. This would be a contradiction if you could never love and hate someone at the same time. Well, if you have a son whom you love because he's your flesh and blood, and you raised him, but he rebels against you, you would be caring about him (loving him) but also hating him for fighting you for some selfish reason on his part, in this scenario. You omit that the only nations Jews had to exterminate were the Philistines because they were on prime real estate that God evicted the baby-sacrificers out of to put his chosen people in. God as the Creator has the exclusive right to kill his creation, and the exclusive right to determine who shall live anywhere. You misconstrue the Bible as saying Jews had to kill people just randomly since you didn't even give a reason, choosing to HIDE the fact that Philistines were worthy of death, although not in your opinion which is based on subjectivity which doesn't really have any value any more than the claim that vanilla is the best flavour or else you should suffer.
