TBATE? The Beginning After The End

My comments more than a year old, the author had taken a huge gap there that's why I was worried

That totally didn't ruin the atmosphere the previous chapter had going author.

DESTROY FOR THE SAKE OF DESTRUCTION!

Either the author really likes flowers or he has a name set prepared

Quite naive of you. An Empire is more powerful than a kingdom. If your kingdom is surrounded by other kingdoms, they are more likely a potential threat than they are an ally. So conquering them to remove potential threats while taking their resources to become stronger is surprising viable and profitable. A bigger empire is also more well protected against outside threats, threats can come any time from anywhere.

I doubt that would be very effective, this is not written anywhere in any historical fragments. And beauty has its limits.

What's the bar for competency here? Many female rulers ruled better than their male counterparts and vice versa.

Just because there were more male rulers doesn't mean women were incompetent or vice versa. Circumstances were unfavourable towards them yet many still became strong rulers. Thus gender is irrelevant when it comes to competency.

It does though, If you are correct in 10% of the cases out of 100% means you are wrong. Did you even read what I wrote?
