that's not even an opinion, that's just wrong

The more realistic is Warhammer Total War.
And I am not even joking

>Could someone with a good knowledge of real life, era appropriate formations and tactics jump into the game and dominate?

Nope, I love total war and have played thousands of hours across the games but they are basic as fuck.

There is almost always some simple dumb strategy that always works all the time because the AI is shit.

>I know the hammer and anvil strategy works, but I haven't played enough total war to test anything else.

You don't need anything else in most of the games.

How about in multiplayer?

Because it formed despite the entire Western world being opposed to it, and actually conquered people who didn't have a massive tech deficit.

Russia is empirically worse off, and yet people still act as if capitalism is a good thing.

I know not very much on this so any experts please feel free to knock me down

I would probably say the most cost effective would have been some variant of the Sherman or perhaps a StuG, the worst well that would surely be some strange prototype made by one of the forces

Reliability I think would also go to a late war Sherman as well, least would probably be an early Panzer IV or one of the heavy German tanks when they started to fuck around with them

Technical specs really you need to consider the time period, so say a the T34 or KV-1 had such thick armor that a lot of Axis anti-tank weaponry struggled to penetrate it, similar thing with the Churchill tank in North Africa. Remember that there were also a lot of really shitty tanks made throughout the war too

>>1034128
>>Cost-To-Effectiveness Ratio
Sherman or T-34
>>Reliability and Maintainability
dunno, some russkie tanks found 40 years later in a ditch still worked so
>>Technical Specs
like what, speed, armament, armor?

Aru of duh Japanese tanku are da superior in evewy category ohohoho

>"great person of history"
>we're not idolizing him
Uhh...
>whether the person is Jesus or no
>not a great person in history
>not idolized
Uhhhhh...

>but you act like you have some huge invalidation of the idea he did a good thing over something that minor
Did someone rustle your Jimmies kiddo? Just because you want to idolize a great man and gloss over his faults doesn't mean other people don't actually want to examine the person, and compare their great achievements in reference with the negative things.

Yes, glossing over the bad parts of someone and calling them great is idolizing. If you were actually open to the facts and history, you would look at the good and the bad and the historical context.

So you prefer your biography to be hagiography? where's the line between 'comparatively minor' and 'not fit for the great person of history list'?

I'd rather someone professing to be some sort of historian/a serious hobbyist be a bit of a nitpicker than a bootlicker.

Sorry your preferred historial figure(s) were criticized here and whoever did it failed to preface their argument with 'but overall blah blah great person'.

I'm not trying to be a huge dick here but this is a good example of being unironically 'triggered' in an academic context. Your feelings on the subject aren't supposed to enter into other peoples opinions on the subject.

>the hoax was made more believable by Gore Vidal's endorsement on the book's dust cover.

holy shit, Will Buckley must have been laughing his goddamn ass off.

You should just have faith. No point in anything otherwise. Besides, all arguments are insufficient, as God cannot be "proven" rationally.

t. le existential Dane

according to christians?
fear of hell is a good reason

>>1041522

I'll prove it.

Have a look at history: christians were persecuted in Rome, but strangely enough it was alleged "devil" worshippers the ones persecuted in witch hunts and so on, and in the modern age we have "insane" people.

I'm sure you have noticed now that jesus is the antichrist and you shouldn't trust the bible a single bit, and you should hate your enemies, as most people in the world are actually devils -and this is still in the bible-, why love them? why be humble? why serve them? are you retarded?

And who told you that sex is bad if not the guy that wants to ruin mankind, the devil? Didn't GOD place lust for anal sex and a prostate in your butt? And then place a desire for it in there? Well? Isn't it HIS will then? Didn't HE made you so? How it is not HIS desire?

And notice how the faggots that pretend to be devil worshippers in here will take good care to defend that piece of shit jesus. Don't they claim to be wizards and pagans and shit? What fellowship would they have with jesus? And in a place with cp occasionally of all websites.

And you're now in kinda the good path, since God gives freedom, and you would not know the true commandments not the true name of the Christ.

Call HIM.

Hitler was pretty cray by the end.

"As president, his eccentric behaviour caused some consternation; on one occasion, after a delegation of schoolgirls had presented him with a bouquet, he tossed the flowers back at them one by one. On another occasion he received the British Ambassador to France wearing only the ceremonial decorations of his office.[3] It all culminated when, late one night, 24 May 1920, he fell out of a large window of the presidential train near Montargis after taking some sleeping pills and was found wandering in his nightshirt by a platelayer, who took him to the nearest level-crossing keeper's cottage. Soon afterwards, Deschanel walked out of a state meeting, straight into a lake, fully clothed. His resignation was offered on 21 September 1920, and he was placed in an institution. Nevertheless, he was narrowly elected to the senate in January 1921, serving until his death."

Could it be because of all the amphetamines that he took?

I haven't seen any realistic movies set in the stone age.

Because Christianity = civilization back then.

>>1046954
Because Christianity was politically convenient and it promised that the good guys would win unlike Germanic mythology which is very melancholy.

Why did the Ptolemies start fucking their siblings, calling themselves Pharaoh and put make up on?

Sometimes the conquered culture is strong enough to influence the conquerors.

Everything in that movie was off historically btw

>>1043070
How so?

I'm genuinely interested, this is a period in US history that is barely talked about.

>>1043052
>What was going on in the US during the 1810s-1830s?
War with Britain, shitflinging between slave states and free states, saber-rattling itching to go to war with Mexico.
