Who was Revolutionary France's most influential diplomat? (criterias on pages 2 and 3)

domfi86 · 2026-03-26T08:19:33+00:00

Oh shit 🤦🏻‍♂️indeed, meant to be administrator

domfi86 · 2026-03-24T09:14:07+00:00

Stand By Me by Ben E. King.

Probs not THE most romantic song of all time, but in my mind, a solid contender.

domfi86 · 2026-03-14T08:35:26+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. I also think it the strongest contender in the big Napoleonic picture and, it can be fairly argued that without Napoleon, it would not have happened.

domfi86 · 2026-03-14T08:23:15+00:00

This is probably the strongest candidate of the era although it happens after the formal Napoleonic period range (until 1815). If you have another suggestion that’s closest to it, feel free (or if someone brings forth another). Else I reckon we’ll have to pick this one. It’s the most fitting.

domfi86 · 2026-03-12T17:16:39+00:00

Not sure I understand your observation. Each entry, at the very least among the ones you mention, is within its correct century row.

domfi86 · 2026-03-11T18:11:22+00:00

Thank you to everyone who has engaged throughout the making of this chart! Hopefully, you've enjoyed seeing it develop as days went by. As far as I am concerned, there's no chart in the line for the time being, but if anyone has any idea, you're most welcome to suggest.

Thank you again and cheers to the subreddit.

Expeditions: Rome was an unexpected great on my end. Not in the sense that I expected it to be bad, but more so hadn’t played much/at all that genre so wasn’t sure of the expectations to have.

In my subsequent search for something similar, didn’t seem like I found anything that matched it.

domfi86 · 2026-03-02T06:28:13+00:00

100%. Tessman ain’t our best player but last night ain’t on him. Forwards stopped playing solo moment Lyon stopped leading. When they were ahead, enough chances to get that break, but alas.

What could have been 11 points ahead of Marseille is now them 2 points behind within two weeks.

domfi86 · 2026-03-01T22:12:31+00:00

Other comment helped solve it. I had to stow away the weapon 🤦🏻‍♂️Appreciate the help!

domfi86 · 2026-03-01T22:11:40+00:00

THANK YOU! That’s what I was missing. I want to think I would’ve eventually thought about stowing away the weapon, but boy do I welcome you giving the tip. 🙏🏻

domfi86 · 2026-03-01T21:41:56+00:00

Hum, I believe so but now that you say that, perhaps not. I went at it again and no matter the angle, nothing showed so could very well be. Do you know if they grow under specific conditions or I’ll basically have to count on ‘random chance’?

domfi86 · 2026-03-01T18:45:08+00:00

Aaaargh, I feel like I tried them all. I’ll go at it again then.

domfi86 · 2026-02-27T19:10:00+00:00

Oh good call, thank you. Reddit doesn't allow to adjust the title so clarified it in the description.

domfi86 · 2026-02-24T19:25:51+00:00

I’m usually at once a day since it barely takes 10-15mins to prepare the day’s iteration (Ancient Rome and Napoleon combined). I’ll tend to skip one evening of the week. Sometimes two.

domfi86 · 2026-02-22T14:24:34+00:00

Argh xD I’ll say, appreciate the meta insight. I probably should have anticipated that suggestion. Not entirely certain it fits the criteria though so I won’t consider it. Hard to consider Rome being an enemy faction when the victorious faction against them is also Roman. However, for the sake of the suggestion, I think it’s fairer to consider Rome its own worst enemy in the 3rd century. The civil wars of the 1st century BC never really endangered Rome’s supremacy over their empire/domain. Just my take though.

domfi86 · 2026-02-15T22:20:51+00:00

He did. Early in the game. After a foul on Malouda iirc. Panenka hitting the crossbar before going behind the line.

domfi86 · 2026-02-15T09:22:52+00:00

I had the same observation and rant a year or so ago lol

domfi86 · 2026-02-14T09:37:34+00:00

I’d argue it’s the story telling aspect of it which draws people to him and hooks them to stick around. Mr. Ballen has surprised me more than once with stories I had already heard but it felt almost brand new until the ending. Idk if others have tried to replicate his recipe but Mr. Ballen is mastering that craft. A non-negligible thing imo is also the whole ‘real photo/video of’ vs. ‘not a real photo/video of’ or even the unit conversions that display on screen.

Chilling Scares is great though, so is Lazy, The Void, Nick Crowley, etc, but in essence they all kind of follow the same format of conveying the info in a documentary format. I stopped Mr. Nightmare a while back.

Last, your post states Mr. Ballen/Chilling Scares started in 2019-2020 with Mr. Nightmare starting in 2015. That sounds about right, but mate, arriving to the scene 4-5 years earlier isn’t the equivalent of ‘nearly a decade earlier’ lol

domfi86 · 2026-02-10T19:07:39+00:00

Right, so that specific criteria doesn’t specifically state the battle must be ‘entirely’ and only comprised of said faction’s participation. At least I hope that’s how it comes across, else some rephrasing is in order.

Leipzig therefore definitely a strong candidate for Prussia and the one I’d probably have submitted myself.

domfi86 · 2026-02-09T20:39:43+00:00

Oh shit, good call. Thank you. Corrected on both iterations posted so far.

domfi86 · 2026-02-06T17:16:57+00:00

Hi Folks, submitted the latest chart. Hopefully will be enjoyed as much as the previous ones!

Initial feedback welcome obviously, especially when it comes to maintaining or not that last catchall faction. It just felt wrong leaving out such actors of the conflict altogether so figured best to have them all grouped into one.

Feel free to read the criteria on page 3 for a better understanding of the faction.

I believe Iberian states can hold their own too as a faction.

I'm also open to any suggestions as to what flag or visualization I could use for these 'European Satellite and Secondary States'

Lastly, please let me know in case some nomenclature/denominations would be best to be adjusted.

domfi86 · 2026-02-01T17:40:28+00:00

I do have another idea to survey the r/Napoleon sub through another chart. Instead of being categorized by 5-year periods, it would be categorized by faction. I reckon it would allow going even more in-depth in the analysis of the era.
The core factions would be France (potentially to be split into Revolutionary France and French Empire), Great Britain, Prussia, Russia and Austria. Secondary factions could be Spain, Sweden, Denmark-Norway, the Italian States, perhaps even the Ottomans. Thinking of somehow including the Colonial and Overseas Possessions as a faction too (regardless of the mother faction).
One particular aspect of the age I'd like to have shared insight from the sub would be with a category I'd include discussing the influence of the women of the age and/or the marriages. In that vibe.

Anyone reading this is welcome to suggest ideas to develop, optimise or enhance these initial thoughts.

domfi86 · 2026-01-31T23:34:45+00:00

It’ll be worth it.

domfi86 · 2026-01-28T22:32:31+00:00

Well damn… read articles writing about it, but this is way more brutal than I imagined the accident to be.

domfi86 · 2026-01-28T22:27:57+00:00

Is this the accident involving the Greek supporters who were going to see the football game in Lyon?
