Don't really know anything about them, Ottomans were great though and brought peace and development to their territories.

Not at all.

Line infantry tactics made perfect sense for a variety of reason.

First of all, your weaponry is inaccurate. A smoothbore musket with a non-aerodynamic projectile is not the most accurate weapon. If you want to pose a threat you need lots of men firing at the same target. A line is the most effective formation if you want to maximise your fire-power. Lines were also a defence against artillery since they're harder to hit effectively than deeper formations. Also, cavalry was still a major threat to infantry at that time and if your men were scattered then cavalry would simply ride through and cut you down. Staying close allows you to assume defensive formations more easily. Lastly, you were dealing for the most part with mercenaries whose morale was not the best. The tight formation bolstered the morale, made the men easier to be kept in control by the officers and also resulted in peer pressure, with every other man making sure that his neighbours weren't falling out of line.

It's an inherently hostile ideology, which inevitably leads to making too many enemies, and getting destroyed by them.

That's not Ungern-Steinberg

>>2937953
No all the accounts of him were from biased sources with anti-Iranian sentiment.

>>2937953
Most overhyped for sure, not really the greatest, unless you mean greatest Greek or European. Even thats disputable.

In European theatre, I'd say Napoleon has lots going for him.

In Asia, there's Genghis Khan and his wardogs.

>>2937878
Because they always have some historical/mythical pretense to conquer and genocide a land that doesnt even belong to them.

Hello, do you have time to talk about Casper mattresses?

>>2937837
I know fuck all about the Byzantium empire, but I have been reading about the Romanovs and they were obsessed with them much like the West was with the big Roman empire.

Does anyone know any good books about them?

>>2937837
I wouldn't bother with Africa. In the end, it wasn't worth decades of effort. Focus on Italy, East, and, most importantly, economy.

>Research more on the conditions of Italy Spain and Carthage, do not solely rely on the report of pro roman merchants etc who are minority.

Justinian is overrated and Anastasius is underrated

Fuck you.

if you ever learned another language before puberty it's much easier to learn like 7 different languages.

But you DO know that being a linguist isn't being a polyglot right?

But if you're selfless and actually care about the lives of your men, wouldn't you refrain from sacrificing them to get a tactical advantage? There are many commanders that throw away entire units of men to slow the enemy down or to achieve an advantage, and because of that they end up winning the battle.

>>2937796
Morale is terrible under such a leader. The subordinates will find ways to fuck each other over or trying to get captured or desert or what have you. I'd think about a way to kill my commander for sure if that's his attitude.

At least with a selfless one you can expect fair and mutual respect on the battlefield, ensuring that everyone does their job sincerely.

No thanks, I'd rather be with my bros and restoring the Han than be with an adopted son of a eunuch.
