Modern wars because you can see footage and shit, not just shitty paintings and Hollywood recreations that completely butcher how insane and strange war really is.

Best wars are Iran-Iraq War and Chechen Wars in this regard. Just brutal fucking shit without any whiny Westerners to ruin with their shit-tier perspectives.

That map is wrong

Half of those "battles" is Europe are made up or random guests at best, it's also lacking the raids in Piedmont, Liguria and Lombardy

God works in mysterious ways :DDDDD

Because God for most people is also an idea rooted in the foundations of existence, not just morality. Unmoved mover etc.

As for the morality argument, if you've been through some amount of suffering in your life and

If atheist: cant understand why people would want a crutch for trauma in the form of god.

If theist: can't understand why people would be disenfranchised from the idea of God after going through pointless suffering.

Then you fail at basic empathy.

Mental Gymnastics are sometimes necessary when dealing with trauma.

Pretty much, only far-left and far-right extremists will disagree.

Read the waning of the Middle ages by Huizinga, there is a chapter there that beautifully describes how life was like for people in the late Middle-ages.

"Between town and country, too, the contrast was very marked. A medieval town did not lose itself in extensive suburbs of factories
and villas; girded by its walls, it stood forth as a compact whole, bristling with innumerable turrets. However tall and threatening the houses of noblemen or merchants might be, in the aspect of the town the lofty mass of the churches always remained dominant. The contrast between silence and sound, darkness and light, like that between summer and winter, was more strongly marked than
it is in our lives. The modern town hardly knows silence or darkness in their purity, nor the effect of a solitary light or a single distant
cry. All things presenting themselves to the mind in violent contrasts and impressive forms, lent a tone of excitement and of passion to everyday life and tended to produce that perpetual oscillation between despair and distracted joy, between cruelty and pious tenderness which characterize life in the Middle Ages."

"One sound rose ceaselessly above the noises of busy life and lifted all things unto a sphere of order and serenity: the sound of bells. The bells were in daily life like good spirits, which by their familiar voices, now called upon the citizens to mourn and now to rejoice, now warned them of danger, now exhorted them to piety. They were known by their names: big Jacqueline, or the bell Roland. Every one knew the difference in meaning of .the various ways of ringing. However continuous the ringing of the bells, people would seem not to have become blunted to the effect of their sound."

"The frequent processions, too, were a continual source of pious agitation. When the times were evil, as they often were, processions were seen winding along, day after day, for weeks on end. In 1412 daily processions were ordered in Paris, to implore victory for the king, who had taken up the oriflamme against the Armagnacs. They lasted from May to July, and were formed by ever-varying orders and corporations, going always by new roads, and always carrying different relics. The Burgher of Paris calls them 'the most touching processions in the memory of men'. People looked on or followed,
'weeping piteously, with many tears, in great devotion). All went barefooted and fasting, councillors of the Parlement as well as the poorer citizens. Those who could afford it carried a torch or a taper. A great many small children were always among them. Poor country people of the environs of Paris came barefooted from afar to join the procession. And nearly every day the rain came down in
torrents."

How /his/ is rome 2 total war? I know some aspects are not historically accurate, but which game is 100% historically accurate? I think it was done to balance the game a bit (for example, phalanx formations)

Dunno that's because we're surrounded by our enemies i guess. Even our most important leaders in history were military leaders including Ataturk himself.
