Was it a direct command or was it the priests ordering it?

""""Christian morality"""""

They were unstable shitholes that weren't worth administrating. Caesar conquered Gaul for glory and money, only later on was it truly added to the empire and at that point it's population had been cut down and made docile

They feared the black warrior

>tfw the Romans could have wiped the Germanics off the face of the Earth, but instead Germany continuously ruins Europe over and over again

yeah they were but not on Arnold's level

No that is impossible, they didn't have enough calories for that. The average modern man can easily beat them.

Depends on when and where.
You do physical activity everyday and eat a shit ton of food you'll gey buff in no time. That plus all the cardio and walking meant they'd be ripped.

in terms of tactics? not really realistic at all. The units themselves are realistic I guess, but tactics are largely ignored/useless in TW and thrown away in favor of just hammer and anviling every single field battle. In the later era games like Empire and Napoopan the battles are much smaller and contained than battles in real life in that era so you're not going to be recreating Austerlitz or Borodino. They're fun, but you shouldn't be going into them expecting deep gameplay. This is also the history board, this belong on /v/.

>How realistic are the Total War Games?
Not at all, unless you get into serious modding. It's too easy to form mega-states, diplomacy is meaningless, you have enormous amounts of control as the "state" over how you recruit your forces which simply wasn't true at least until the Renaissance, manpower issues are largely nonexistant, as even when limits do exist, your money almost always runs out first. Growth rates are really weird, it's entirely possible to have longstanding population growth in the 6-10% a year almost indefinitely, with nary a bump for plague; about the only interruption would be if an enemy comes along and slaughters people.

On the military side, complete elimination of enemy armies is the norm, not a rare exception. You never have any sort of attrition losses for disease, desertion, starvation, etc; so the main limiting factor of anyone's expansion is the ability of powerful rivals to halt said expansion, leading to snowballing effects, again, extremely unrealistically. You have a loyalty index in M2TW, but that won't impact things like army size, or length of field service; in real life, it was always a dangerous gamble to keep an army in the field a long time for fear of your general breaking away from you, or revolt at home breaking out if lead by the sovereign. Don't have any of that, of course.

> Can you rank what you believe to be the most realistic?
I never got that far into the modding community, but Europa Barborum seemed to be a large step up in the realism department. But even that only salves some of the smaller problems, especially the tactical ones. Battles feel more like ancient battles, but statecraft not so much.

>>3016823
you are supposed to RP when you play in europa barbarorum. You aren't building the level 1 government in EB1, you are slowly creating a government that will be closely bound to you in the long term.

Yeah, that would've made quite aesthetic ruins as the swamp brought it down.

Yakuza Apocalypse is objectively the greatest kino ever made. Such a powerful and respected institution.

Fuck this thread. The Samurai were honorable warriors while the Yakuza are slimeballs.
Who has ever heard of a Yakuza committing the seppuku ritual?

>Why do people unironically still believe in workers controlling the means of production
Always interesting to see how these questions read when you translate it to what socialism actually means

>workers controlling the means of production is against human nature

>>3023557
Because worker ownership is superior to private ownership

Is this a meme?

Because fighting one totalitarian menace at a time is hard enough. No sense making things worse.

Treaty of Versailles was to protect Poland from Germany, not Russia/Soviet Union. Also, Russia was on their side in WW1.

>>3023390
Because Hitler invaded first, so they started with him. No sense trying to take on Multiple superpowers at once.
There was a real desire among the West's leaders, mostly Churchill and Patton, to try to take on Stalin after the war was over but the public was too tired after 6 years of war already.

Could as well discuss Fomenko at this point.

Taking Suvorov seriously is something a mentally challenged person would do

Looks like. Concentraiting of tanks, fuel, avoiding of fortifications.

How exactly should sterilization decrease domestic violence? It doesn't matter if you can or can not have children if you want to beat up your spouse.

Sexual deviants, mental health patients, and criminals would be more careful and hide who they are more, as a result, they would surely become more dangerous to the society.

>>3022933
You wouldn't have a spouse in the first place, because there would be no sexual drive.

Also, what the fuck? That isn't what I posted, I don't even have that image on my phone... I'll try reposting maybe?

They probably would consider you as some sort of the foreign nobility from far away country based on you being clean and having strange clothes.

You're talking about an area spanning a continent and a timeline going centuries. You need to be more specific.

UK's conservatives would be considered leftists in the US.

So what? Relative to their scheme they still vote right wing anyways.

Are you delusional? Our governments have been either centre or centre left in recent times, and historically, well, do the terms "welfare state" and "trade unionist" ring any bells?

Correlation does not equal causation.

For all we know, it could've been the continuation of Hapsburg inbreeding.

No, he was a Jew by birth and faith. He never acknowledged that he was starting a new religion-- he saw his iconoclastic doctrine as a fulfillment and continuation of Judaism proper.
