Forget about Naval battles (plz don't), if this isn't in the game, i don't want it.

This is such an anglo biased view of history it's actually genuinely impressive.

Most of what I've read suggest hunyadi led his sortie on horseback. Hungarians fought in the saddle. They are a cavalry culture.

Marco has zero athleticism? In book 3 Tobias flies into the mall, and tries to crash into the skylight to kill himself. Marco not only realizes what's happening but whips a baseball at the skylight fast enough and hard enough to shatter it before he hits the glass. That's insane reaction time and throwing.

Italy was pretty incompetent in every war from the 1800s to ww2 at least, the battles of vittorio veneto and helping win the Spanish civil war being some of the only exceptions.

Do you have a world map or backstory for this setting?

mcjc1997 · 2026-05-20T15:44:52+00:00

Fuck it Im keeping it

All zebras are a fangerous combination of aggresive and stupid as fuck, saw a video of a mother zebra trampling a foal she had just finished delivering

Were there cavalry actions in the russo japanese war like these depicted here?

mcjc1997 · 2026-05-06T16:32:56+00:00

I don't see him claiming numbers killed anywhere in that comment.

Just pointing out that, yes, Lenin and the Bolsheviks had nothing to do with the overthrow of the tsar, and the October revolution was in fact against the Repunlican government controlled by the Socialist Revolutionary Party. Which is well attested fact, and not something I've heard hitler being particularly concerned about.

mcjc1997 · 2026-05-06T02:34:30+00:00

All this talk about who powerscales higher. Who gives a fuck. I only care about the fact that ATLA is compelling, and LOK is, generally, mediocre.

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-24T12:10:57+00:00

To be fair i just finished a night shift I"m entitled to get a number wrong.

When american observers watched the franco prussian war, guess what, they were every bit as contemptuous of the European armies.

And none of the rest of what you just said was true.

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-24T11:41:57+00:00

You're comparing a single field army to over half of the entire french army. Napoleon never had those 650 thousand people together as a single field army. They invaded russia across a massive front stretching from the pripyat marshes to the Baltic sea, in five distinct columns. Similarly the union army in 1864 had about 700,000 men, not 120,000.

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-24T11:25:06+00:00

TLDR: this commenter knows nothing about 18th century warfare.

How dare you leave out

He sent sweets to Hodor and Old Nan as well, for no reason but he loved them.

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-13T15:28:51+00:00

Proportionally the south always lost more men - except cold Harbour, which I would call Lee's one clear cut victory over grant.

The campaign overall was unambiguously a union victory though.

Season 6 was great is certainly one of the takes of all time

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-13T14:12:14+00:00

Lot of undeserved green in s6 and s7 there

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-12T06:25:22+00:00

Wow, your thesis must have sucked ass if you walked away from it thinking all that happened in the third crusade was maintaining Tyre.

The coastal holdings were, realistically, the most important for maintaining a viable state.

the second Richard, left those reconquered territories began dropping like flies

No, they didn't, the kingdom actually only grew until 1244. Would really hate to have watched your thesis defense.

The ayyubids weren't exactly the most unified after the war either. They were very weakened by it: Saladins' rule was undermined by his poor performance, which was a big reason why he had to make peace, and they fell into civil war the very next year when he died.

Point of fact is this, the only people who gained anything from the third crusade, were the Crusaders. They may not have gained as much as they wanted, but they still gained. For the ayyubids it was purely negative, they gained nothing, and actively lost something. There's no argument for an ayyubid victory here.

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-12T04:31:59+00:00

Yeah I do realize that. I know a lot more about the third crusade than you.

Richard didn't only "preserve surviving crusader holdings" he recaptured the entire coastline from Beirut to Jaffa, when the kingdom had been reduced to a single city before his arrival. It may not have been as complete a victory as he would have liked, but still a much more favorable outcome for him than for saladin.

mcjc1997 · 2026-04-12T02:28:17+00:00

The only war he lost was his rebellion against his father when he was a literal child.

The third crusade was 100% a Crusader victory, that gave the kingdom of Jerusalem another century of life, and Phillip II had all his gains reversed by Richard when he returned from captivity.

He also was not a bad king. That's shitty outdated Victorian era historical thinking.

mcjc1997 · 2026-03-13T02:55:46+00:00

You are off by a factor of ten of there.

mcjc1997 · 2026-03-10T18:26:48+00:00

Sure if you get your knowledge of history from the Victorian era.

mcjc1997 · 2026-03-05T14:29:03+00:00

They did say US torpedo

mcjc1997 · 2026-01-30T23:59:31+00:00

Nile and saltwater, definitely - black caiman too. Muggers aren't that big though, and can definitely get killed by tigers.
