Romans were powerful colonialists, and the ancient Israelites were weak but haughty tribalistic group of shit-disturbers. Jews should feel lucky the Romans didn't just massacre them or take them all into slavery.

What is /his/ opinion on the albanians?

did they come from somewhere and why is their language so odd?

any interesting theories?

They came from Turkish penis and Gypsy vagina

Their language is odd because they are retarded

My theory is that the world would be better off without them

They are the native Balkanites of the Indo-European stock who were fucking sheep in the mountains, so they didn't get assimilated by the Romans or Slavs
>>
>>1892819
their language isnt odd, it is Indo European. It is probably related to Illyrian, a distant descendant deformed by the contact with romans, greeks, slavs and turks through the centuries.

Tell me about German Stormtroopers
Tell me about the Arditi
Tell about the elite units of WW1

What's their to know?
Are there any other well known WW1 elite units?
What tactics and weaponry did they use?
How were they formed and evolved over the war?

Also general WW1 thread I guess.

All I can remember is that German Stormtroopers pioneered infiltration tactics, and the use of grenades before a quick assault. Imagine you aren't carrying a rifle, but instead have a bit bag just loaded with grenades.

They also had extremely high casualty rates unfortunately for being so elite due to the nature of their work.

>All I can remember is that German Stormtroopers pioneered infiltration tactics, and the use of grenades before a quick assault.
not really
those are things they had indeed been doing
but they hardly pioneered it
infiltration tactics such as the above were being developed as early as 1916 and by most combatants

the one thing the germans pioneered was gathering up veteran soldiers into dedicated formations

this also proved to be their undoing as they inevitably suffered high losses and so were doubly weakened - the german manpower situation was bad to begin with, but losing experienced cadres further added to the injury

>NRSV is more accurate than the King James

King James translates "Said in his heart" as just that. NRSV uses "he said to himself" to translate this idiom.

King James translates "seed" as just that, NRSV translates it as "semen" or "descendants"

King James translates "he knew her" as just that, NRSV uses awkward terms like "he consummated their marriage" to translate it.

King James translates "slack not thy hands" literally, NRSV changes it to "do not abandon".

King James translates "thine heart be lifted up" literally, NRSV translates it as "exalt yourself"

King James translates literally "mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water," NRSV uses "my eyes flow with tears.". Yes, that's right, they actually deleted the repetition of "my eye".

The NRSV is like it was written for retards, it's like the emoticon Shakespeare, such a sorry piece of work. The King James version keeps the frequent use of "and" in both the Old and New Testament, the NRSV deletes the use of the word as much as possible for no reason other than a stylistic choice, which in fact impairs the writing (for an example of how "and" can be integral to a style, see Cormac McCarthy, who was heavily influenced by the King James prose).

>The NRSV is like it was written for retards

It was. But King James is also a shitty translation.
>>
>>1892674
The King James isn't perfect, but it's better than the RSV or ESV and waaaay better than the NRSV or the NIV. And for being written hundreds of years ago, that's saying quite a lot.
>>
>>1892674
I disagree. Yeah, some of the words are translated incorrectly but these are few and far between. The translation is consistent with the structure of the oral traditions from which most of the books likely derived, and is thus much more eloquent than prose translations. I would rather quote some pleasant or poignant line from KJV than the clunky equivalent from NIV or Douay–Rheims.

Can you guys inform me on what the empire was like before the revolution and ww1? Was it prosperous? Was it a superpower?

It was shit.

Not really, though some people argue it was trending upwards by the time of the revolution.

>Was it a superpower?

It was arguably a "great power", one of several. That is, it played a large role in European alliance systems.

Why was it so shit? Why did they enter a war if it was so shit at the time?

No man of note has ever said anything of worth without some hair on his face.

So I started up a new game of CK2 this morning and I said to myself "I never played as any of the Altaic before" so here I am, asking for history, interesting shit and what not about the Kirghiz, Pecheneg, Karluk, Uyghur, Mongols, Khitan, Avar, Bolghar, Khazar and Cuman! (Maybe Turkish.. no, no I won't be Turkish) Tell me about one or more, and based on badass factor and what not I'll pick one of 'em and become a just glorious khan.

Thanks for answers in advance and if you're here to act a maggot don't bother!

Yeah buddhist, but it keeps to keep one county jain and hindu for emergency/switching convenience.

ALL your counties save for two are silk road routes. That's loadsa money. In my experience I tend to raze all castle holdings outside of my personal demense, so I will only have republic/theocracy vassals, therefore no one will challenge your rule.

one-man one-county is great, since most landed characters have one-trade post limit per character, and owning only one county each means all of those counties will have trade posts.

Also make friends with your nomad brothers. They won't hurt you if you keep marrying them/give them stuff/whatever.
