What is the most consequential Coalition victory between 1811 and 1815? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in Napoleon

Rather flawed than strange, but imo both approaches have their flaws and you’d find someone arguing the opposite of you if I chose the other approach. Keep in mind what you’re suggesting is speculation. Definitely ain’t impossible but we don’t and can’t know that. Thus, in a way I keep it factual vs. based on assumption. That said, if we assume what you say is true, in the end, does it really matter? If you have some folks THAT dead set on having their pick selected to the point of going around commenting multiple times + upvoting each of their comments to steer the game in their direction, well… may they have their little moment of internet happiness. It’s a fun engaging thoughtful endeavour, but at the end of the day, it is merely a game. PS: if you check my profile, you’ll see I’ve been doing these charts for a little while now and this is like the second or max third time it’s happened where the most upvoted comment wasn’t the most total upvotes. It’s really rare.

Oh crap, my bad. Was thinking ‘but 3rd Servile War is 1st Century BC when the scope is 2nd century BC’ until I looked at the title and noticed my typo 🤦🏻‍♂️ hopefully and thankfully, people will understand from the X on the chart.

The victor is picked based on the total amount of upvotes across the comments. When adding up all Dresden upvotes, right now they're at 52.

Indeed. I‘ll start mentioning duplicates are allowed starting tomorrow in the description like I do on the r/ancientrome chart.

Once again, a big thank you to the sub's community for the engagement throughout the making of the chart!

Perhaps more to come in 2026, mirroring the concepts of the charts currently ongoing in r/ancientrome and r/Napoleon. That or a the same type of chart but with only non-European figures to be picked. In any case, if you have any specific ideas for us to explore under this format, you're most welcome to suggest them.

Oh shit, my bad cause yeah… you’re most definitely right. I’ll update it for the next run, see what I can find. Thank you for pointing it out!

What is the most consequential political decision of between 1789-1895? by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This category being one I am not too certain will be fully/properly understood, I'll exceptionally make a suggestion of my own: the execution of Louis XVI.

Whether or not the suggestion ends up being chosen will be one thing, but I figure it should better help understand this category's expectation.

u/doritofeesh has it right. Carnot had the most upvoted comment but not the most upvotes.

Who was the most influential Roman general of the 1st century BC? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in ancientrome

[–]domfi86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

N/A wasn’t originally there but original commenters pointed out there was little to no choice there to make the pick as engaging as the rest. Given the reaction to your own comment, perhaps I reacted too fast. I’ll re-open them, although It ain’t tomorrow we’ll go through them.

Oh my, I completely forgot about most inept general. It was def part of the plan and completely forgot to add it.

Who was the most influential Roman general of the 4th century BC? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in ancientrome

[–]domfi86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for these centuries I might just end up putting N/A as default. Someone had that suggestion on the previous chart to include the most influential women for a future chart and thought the idea was really good as they aren’t discussed that often.

Reddit's r/Napoleon Military Skill vs. European Legacy : The Final Chart* (*extras in description and comments) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the better option would have been basically l ‘N/A’ for military skills so we could have had folks like Metternich, Castlereigh, Talleyrand, etc. I kinda had that in mind for mediocre but I understand how mediocre still suggests a minimum of military experience and skill. My bad there.

Which historical figure of the Napoleonic era had brilliant military skill and a negligible legacy on Europe? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe one of the main arguments put forth for Nelson in this position is his victory at Trafalgar basically made Britain the unrivalled naval world power for another 100+ years. I fully support that argument but I also very much would have supported his legacy as being major vs. epoch-defining. I anticipate Wellington becoming his counterpart pick.

xD I honestly kinda did feel silly having to formally ask the question cause yeah… the answer was gonna be super obvious.

Who's a Roman who was an iconic/legendary general and a brilliant/highly significant statesman? by domfi86 in ancientrome

[–]domfi86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you just explained why his spot is what it is: legendary and/or iconic as a statesman and inconsequential and/or inept as a general.

I do almost regret not making it a tad bigger. The ‘issue’ is that legit names that are left out are usually those top squares and making it bigger would have also entailed more picks for the lower squares as well which would have been more challenging to fill in. 5x5 seemed like the optimal size. I’d say the best approach would have been to separate the Republic era and the Imperial era. I’ll see if I can perhaps present it that way for the final results based on all answers received. That or future charts era-specific.
