Strictly speaking, hardly any of the here named "empires" seriously stretched beyond their homelands and therefore wouldn't qualify as empires at all. Best example would be the "Empire of Japan"...

A lot of problems with that list.

(2) + (8) There was no such thing as a "Byzantine Empire", this was the Roman Empire both by historical continuation and by self-definition. The dates 27 BC and...

This thread get's more and more bizzar.

Unification happened despite Kohl? Seriously? Ever heard of a person called Oskar Lafontaine?

so, you have any conflicting numbers that proof...

wow, you have been tracing down a scandal! A public institution is paid for by tax income! Good that you pointed to that; I'll think there will be major investigation in short to sort out how that...

Your accusation was that the Statistische Bundesamt forges the result of their surveys in order to please the government. Do have any sources to back that up or are you just trolling around?

IF...

So? It was a :wub: backwater town of the ROMAN empire until the ROMAN Emperor Constantine decided to make it the ROMAN capital.

What Greeks? The town's population exploded with everyone and his...

I take it that the Illyrian Constantine became a Greek the moment he entered the Roman city of Byzantium?

Do you already have a title for your fantasy novel?

Yes, part of the laws of that parallel society is that migrants can vote in federal elections.

Yes, of course. Recently the AfD majority in...

Well yes, that about nails it. This enormous monstrosity of a provocation, which in fact is about the least provocating thing the Turkish government has done this year, didn't even made it into the...

Fortunate enough, 60% of the Germans are europhile politicians, 37% are billionaires and the rest economic migrants that live on taxpayers' expenses. Otherwise Germany would be another of those...

Oh yes, Germany is suffering terribly under Merkel's leadership - in particular compared to other European states.

The figure looks like a 19th Century opera barbarian - so I take that as a hint that the new TW will be Victorian?

The idea that a European king of the Middle Ages plans on converting to anything non-Christian is as plausible as Saudi Arabia becoming Catholic next week. What would had happened would have been a...

The Koreans and Chinese too didn't hold Japanese archery (or horsemanship) too much regard. They were, however, very impressed by the discipline of the Japanese infantry.

The mainland Asians were far from impressed by Japanese archery.

The problem is that the entire theory is based in random finds. This would be the same as if you would be starting off the Canadian border heading south and come up with the conclusion that Spanish...

Yes, my fault. I didn't specify that with "Middle Ages" I was thinking of the Catholic world in the High and Late Middle Ages. Speaking of military history there is a watershed at some point between...

That's certainly not correct. Apart from knights usually travelling with several (at least three) horses, you mentioned it, we can expect most, if not all, armed men in an European Medieval army to...

Interesting that the landscape or climate of Europe is supposed to prevent the usage of bows from horseback. This is of course not correct. European armies used lots of horsemen throughout history....

I was really obsessed by it. I still play the Civ4 version of it occasionally, in particular the Medieval mod. I love the population management where you either had your settler work on a farm,...

But these do speak French? Hardly.

Lack of trained personal. You hardly find someone speaking Arabic in the German administration, so they are all too happy when some "refugee" at least is half-way able to express himself in English...

And finally things got back to normality with the evil Crusader-Nazis being called for financing Erdogan's "successful politics".
...

Don't try this in Germany: Insane prices, muddy sandwiches and lukewarm coffee (a best!), horrendous delays, and a good chance to be stranded at night in places like Mannheim, Braunschweig or...

As much as possible, yes.

Takeda have horses. Horses are considered the most valuable trade resource in S2TW. Means, when you have horses everyone is dying for a trade agreement, when the AI has the horses it will never trade...

So you have the second sight? Ah, okay.

Well actually the question is not about revoking dual citizenship but about no longer granting them, which anyways required a lot of special regulations for...

According to your alternative facts, that's what I certainly said - unless you are completely wrong and simply made things up. Let's see:

I said: "They are Turkish AND German citizens by law - an...

What's wrong with you? Are you accusing me fascists sentiments? Based on what? Your inability to read or understand? Just in case you missed it: I am not a German politician running for election this...

They are Turkish AND German citizens by law - an option which after the referendum is now questioned again (and it is general election year in Germany). Argument is, when you vote for Erdogan (with...

After playing another 70 turns of a new campaign, I am quitting this game. It is completely lacking fun, unless you consider fun clicking through each and every city every turn for micromanaging...

I have bought it. It is okay, but far from groundbreaking. The game is very similar to Civ: you build settlers, move them somewhere, build a new city, improve your cities and surrounding hexes, raise...

A common Neo-Nazi myth in order to put all the blame on subordinates like Himmler and Goebbels, based on the random fact that no written order by Hitler survived that ordered in detail the Holocaust....

While Hitler didn't use gas as a weapon he fell victim to an Allied gas attack in WWI. What means by this logic that the French and English were even worse than Assad - and Hitler in fact a rather...

The situation in Germany:

Herzog (duke): Originally the Herzöge were the rulers of the stem-duchies (Saxony, Franconia, Bavaria etc) that made the Kingdom of Germany. These collapsed until the...

RTW and M2TW had seperate stats for secondary weapons. This is a different engine, but I would expect it to be that way in Shogun 2 too.

Prussian cavalry is indeed often overlooked. Hohenfriedberg, Prague, Rossbach and Leuthen all were decided by Prussian cavalry charges. And also none of these charges seemed to have been ordered by...

Fantastic find. In particular the insane amount of details in clothing to be found on the Passion plates. It also shows how well armored the soldiers of the Late Middle Ages were: even men displayed...

What is absolutely correct - what you would know too if you would dig yourself a bit more into that topic than a five minute google research to find some links that by sloppy reading seem to support...

Where does the game find the stats of side arms, such as Katanas for Yari wielding units? The only ones I found were the archers - because they only have one melee weapon. But where can I mod the...
