Actually I take that back, GURM's depiction of medieval-style naval combat is boss: it's galleyfaggotry.

Damn near everyone thinks the Medieval warship is a Cog when historically that was only the case in Northern Europe, while galleys remain the mainstay fighting ship.
>>
>>2989735
For one thing. It can decide if it wants to take after Medieval time period or Renaissance. You have the rise of a merchant class yet no guns or cannons. Where are the tax policies and why does a region like the North with a large port( White harbor) that can trade directly with one of the largest trading city in that world, a large resource base of Timber in the vast not have a Warden that becomes at least the 3rd richest house? How does this same region not have a large amount of ships at their disposal just because of muh traditions(which is retarded how it came about)?

the depiction of feudalism and concept of vassals wasn't too far off either.

I know this is a sensitive topic right now but all the African Mud Hut threads have really got me thinking. Have native Africans ever actually accomplished anything on their own? You see all these examples of infrastructure but upon further research it is discovered that all these exist due to third party intervention from outside influence. In other words, Chinese investors that wanted to open up a business or use their labor.

Egypt. But you knew that.

If you want an actual discussion then before we go any further, please define "accomplishment", "native african" and "on their own".

If not, then would it help if I started screeching about niggers?

So what you mean is have negroes ever accomplished something on their own? Because you said African.

Can Africa be ecologically engineered, with enough help from outside nations? Could politicians and decisionmakers of the first world actually improve Africa, not through sending food grants, but through actual solid efforts?

The Sahara being somehow turned into lush grassland would increase arable land by seventy percent. Imagine if the Kongo was repurposed for the same ideal, or if the Amazon was, for that matter.

There's two counterarguments I see to this.
>My Country(tm) would be better off ruthlessly impeding nations from economic sovereignity for their own gain
>The animals that live in these uninhabitable biomes are more precious than Human progress
Both arguments are either heartless or too emotional and I'm going to ignore them. Name ONE way geo-engineering 3rd world biomes are bad. "lolniggers" isn't a valid argument either.

Counterargument: None of my country's business. Not with my tax monies.

Tatars are turko-mongol tribes that settled in south-east europe and (somewhat) interbred with the locals. For the most part of their history they were slavers, pirates, raiders and mercenaries. Their women are in many cases insanely hot.

Tatars aren't Slavs, they're Turks.

They were greedy and ambitious men who formed the vanguard exploring the new world, knew it, and exploited what they found for their own good using superior European firepower and disease. Not sjw'ing, but that's honestly just about it.

mostly greedy peasants, some religious hotheads, a few more adventurer types like based Cabeza de Vaca, but every single one were brave and horny

Well you think they spread diseases on purpose so why should I take you seriously

Talking to a Welsh nationalist for a film project, and he's been telling me a lot of stuff that sounds like revisionism. We were never really taught English history in American schools.

Is this true?

>What is now the UK used to be populated by native Britons, mostly pagan and rural
>Anglo-Saxons come in, conquer most of the land
>What is Wales now was the last stronghold for the native Britons
>Legends of King Arthur portray a Briton/Welshman fighting the Anglo Saxons, which is thy Welsh love their red dragon symbolism
>Welsh language is actually the remnants of the language spoken before conquest

I know it sounds like bullshit but it would be so cool if true.

Only the King Arthur claims are debatable but most of this is true. Welsh are the cultural descendants of Britons along side the people in Brezh.
>>
That's what happened, not really contested. Just basic Welsh history
>>
Bong here, that's a fact mate and the name of Wales comes from the Anglo-Saxon for outsider/foreigner.

Other cultural hold outs include Cornwall, in England, which is still considered a little backwards today.

Cornwall still largely spoke a local dialect up until the 18th century

American documentaries crack me up at the shit the narrator says at times.
Whilst on the topic of documentaries, where can i find some good ones that explain some good shit? Mostly Ancient to medievil period, no overhyped american intro, and no slow as fuck explanation on the basics that bore me before we get to the good stuff, where all the good docs at?
>>
American documentaries are shit in general. They dramatize everything with shit music, camera effects like camera angles, color manipulation, and stupid sound effects with a narrator that sounds like he's on coke.

Why did it never occur to slaves to just kill themselves or revolt against their masters?

Instead they just kept their mouths shut and worked like good goys.

I mean like WTF...?

You're forgetting that in every single slave society throughout history there were systematic methods used to break the will of slaves, deny them any hope of uniting against their masters and the natural human response to brutal punishment and execution is fear.

Idiot.

>goys
I can tell you aren't really antisemitic because you'd know that plural form of goy is goyim. You're just a faggot memer.

>muh fear

Your explanation doesn't make any sense because feelings of fear and complete hopelessness are often the major cause of suicides.
