ryuutaurus1yrReplied to Dekol347Of course it is dangerous, however, this was a legitimate Ottoman siege tactic and was used in combination with minning.
The Lazarus Grandmaster noticed the movement of the enemy center too late and before he could implement a maneuver to either avoid the cannon volley or disperse his army center so that the losses wouldn't be as devastating, the artillery of Alta delivered the first volley of cannon fire. The packed center of the allied Western army was scattered and before they could even retreat in order, the Knights of Alta delivered them the coup de grace of the battle. The hooves of the heavy cavalry of Alta struck fear into the hearts of the enemy, and the full plate armor of the knights and their mounts terrified broke their morale.- ryuutaurus1yrReplied to Sloth_Incarnate

I added the sentences that was supposed the come there. You see, I sometimes delete or change parts of the text while writing it, and since I am busy with my normal work I sometimes have to just leave the deleted parts as it is and leave for work. Then I forget about those parts. I’d appreciate it if you could point out those absurd stops when you see them.

Not necessarily. Such occurances were extremely rare. What would actually happen was pillaging and looting, because the momentum of an army was nigh unstoppable. You have more room to negortiate during sieges, but again, not necessary if you have the strength to overwhelm the enemy.

Meaningless as in he couldn’t truly fix the root problem. It is like cutting the branches off a death tree and calling it a day instead of removing it. How much did it help in the grand scheme of things?

This is extremely inaccurate historically, otherwise, armies would've equipped themselves with swords as primary weapons and not spears. Spear has a better reach, which is the sole reason why you can't "get close" in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afqhBODc_8U here you can pretty much see why spear has historically reigned supreme and why the idea of swords superiority and dominance as the primary weapon is flawed and inaccurate.

Euboea is on the right and Thermopylae is somewhere near the red line under "Epicnemidian Locris".
Our army entered the Thermopylae pass from the Western Gate and camped 10 kms away from the allied forces of the Duke of Athens, the Republic of Aquileia, as well as small reinforcements from the Duchy of Achaea. The Duchy of Naxos had to worry about their island of Euboea which was just opposite the gulf and was planned to be invaded in the second stage of the war. - ryuutaurus1yrCommentedWell, not of this world's, but it doesn't take a genius to imagine such a chokepoint would be the sight of a battle here in this world too. Thermopylae was the location of the battle between the Greek allies and the invading Persians. The legend of the 300 Spartans and the great King of Sparta Leonidas took place in Thermopylae.

New World will be the second and the final part. I imagined New World to be heavier in clasicial fantasy elements. PvE won’t happen as the magic circulation technique helps the body to protect itself from outside threats, plus rats and bugs don’t come near human settlements of Alta as there are magic wards that keep them out.
Ch 28 Old Vassals 2 - ryuutaurus1yrReplied to oppaidaisuke_69
Really? He was supposed to be the Volkmar the Grim of the novel.
Boutsaras Doxapatres was a pious man with a flawless reputation and was loved among the people of not only Mystras but the whole of Morea. He was born in the territory of the Serene Republic of Aquileia, in the part of Morea that the Republic controlled. Since the Republic of Aquileia together with most of Western Europe were followers of the Mysteries of Mithras, Aristomenes together with most of the native inhabitants of his homeland, who were the believers of the Goddess of Light, had their religious freedoms limited and they were constantly monitored. Aristomenes and his family managed to flee the land when he was only 12 and joined the temple of Light in the Principality of Achaea in Morea. He had then worked hard in different parts of Alta and even went North to the lands of the Varangians, an elf, human, dwarf mixed people similar to Altans, who were of the same lineage as the ruling dynasties of Alta and also followed a similar religion. He also participated in the battle against Medes and was famous for fighting fiercely with his war hammer against countless Immortals of the Shah of Medes. Boutsaras Doxapatres was one of the fiercest supporters of my developments and changes. He was present in all the councils that I held in Alta and one of the first to swear allegiance to me on the day the World Tree was reborn. - ryuutaurus1yrReplied to Tylor_Roney
Even the most powerful tyrant would need to keep his loyal followers happy. That’s how adminastrive systems work, because you can’t control everything on your own without either an efficiant buricrucial system or peerage. Pre-Muslim Vandalic Spain had laws that put the King way above the nobility, but in practice they had less power than the later feudal Spanish Kings, because they didn’t have an efficiant way to control and benefit from the larger population.
He hates any system where bureaucracy and judiciary are not efficient, fast, convenient, and fair. He also hates the class system and is planning on taking the legislative powers of the nobility across the globe, and instead favors meritocracy and no class system. He has the kind of personality that would not stop unless he achieves what he wants, however, he wouldn't sacrifice anyone for it if he could. He has the opposite of the character I, the author, have lol. - ryuutaurus1yrReplied to SweepersCh 26 New Vassals 3
