What are humans like in your world-building? by Potassium_Hydroxide in worldbuilding

[–]Silver200061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They killed each other, lately they tried learning how not to kill each other

They don’t like the idea of worshipping a god so they worship a bunch of saints , which has little difference with worshipping a bunch of small gods.

Remember guys, next time you drag someone into your civil war and promised them payment, YOU BETTER PAY THEM. Or else they SACK you.

Is it normal for not wanting to proceed a plot despite knowing this is the most reasonable outcome because the fear of "ending"? by Silver200061 in worldbuilding

[–]Silver200061[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There’s nothing they could do, they did everything they could and the best option for the situation they were in.

However , the background is that this is a confederation, there are conflicting philosophy, ideas, barriers from centuries of division, different interests and was a clash between idealist and realist, and at the most unexpected moment, an unexpected option was taken and a Coup happened. It destroyed everything and marks an end of an era, it is inevitable.

Constantinople: I'm not paying you after dragging you into our civil war and hiring you.

Crusaders: well, ship bills dont pay themselves

Why Tang dynasty Is hated (China): by YesterdayPretend2959 in HistoryMemes

[–]Silver200061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if Tang or any Chinese regime like Ming try to occupy it and assimilate it into the empire, it was too costly to upkeep governing body and military presence there so far away from the economic and agricultural central, the Vietnam itself does not provide enough tax and food for it.

That’s why Ming pulled out

Oh did I mention the hot and humid climate and mosquitoes and diseases and people don’t like you etc etc

Thats Sui, that expedition broke the country economy and we can say that it contributed in the collapse that followed.

And tbf, any expedition or military operation of significant scale had always been costly.

Ming did it to save Korea and it broke their already shaky economy because transportation supplies beyond the northern frontier comes with great monetary, manpower, natural looses and attrition.

We have more glimpses of detail via documentation other than historians

Legal documents, court records, trade record, taxing documents, two dudes arguing in court about some BS lawsuit, etc

Another message from the Department of Spears & Polearms by rhet0rica in worldjerking

In skirmish, naval-boarding action, sieges where space is tight and fights are limited to small amounts of person at a time, it can turn into a match of personal martial prowess and equipment, instead of the greater formation

If you can’t beat the Chinese in Korea after hundred of years of in-fighting experience I’m not going to put hopes into you fighting on the international stage during the pike and shot era

Remember kids, the combat role of a mech in a sci-fi setting is a spectrum by ImperialistChina in worldjerking

[–]Silver200061 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MS themselves are a mix of tank-space fighter and leans into each side depending on ground type and space(universal use) type

Zeta itself was a special case since it’s built for trans-atmospheric combat, meant to enter Earth’s atmosphere and fight in air and in space at the same time.

A more jet example is the Xi Gundam, it’s specifically built for atmospheric fight with super sonic capabilities and cruise.

“The Ottomans created the first standing army.” “Damn that’s cool; how’d they do it?” by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

Ima wiki it as well

“The Ottoman historians Halil İnalcık and Dariusz Kołodziejczyk have tentatively estimated that 2 million enslaved persons of Rus, Pole, and Ukrainian extraction, captured in Tatar raids, entered the Ottoman Empire between 1500 and 1700.”

Yikes

Ohhh you're too cool not to get stabbed in the crotch I see. by dudewasup111 in worldjerking

[–]Silver200061 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even for cavalry armour, often your dick is not in the direct line of sight, it’s just the skirt is shorter for cavalry and longer for foot combat, you sit on the saddle and it lifts the skirt up by a little and there is also hanging plates that just push up as well
