Post your country-fu

they had creme of the crop breeding stocks for the time and stood unrivalled for it

Then explain why they always get rekt by the Ottomans in every EU4 game?

Nobody cares what you think is respectable. Much less opinions on a certain region affecting you studying it.

greater volume logistics

mamelukes, opriniks, dragoons etc. these incredibly glasshouse tier offensive elite units whos main and primary job is to slaughter zerg tier hordes of lesser men around them always give me a hard on... definitely waifu tier

Best african country coming through

where their defence is so small yet effective because of its effeciency in that its just not required to slay unarmed likewise weaker slave genotype specimens etc - culturally, genetically, geologistical, political

conquistadoes, mongol/hun/manchu/xionagu hordes etc

they all have something in common being speed & firepower which in itself replaces the need for defence to the old addage of a good defence being offence. blitzkrieg vs demagio line etc. so long as their is continuously gauranteed supplylines stretching from the geo centers to the peripheries, this methadology can hold power indefinitely, or so history suggests..

i thought swedes were the inferior second pick to daines that only existed to further bolster the greatness of the latter?

I just really like Gustavus Adolfus

Prachtig maat.

Ek segg di Dank, mien Fründ.

No memes please.

If you aren't Persians, then why? Fuck off, leave it for the Iranians to reminisce about their own empires, you cunts.

Just something different.

>seleucids
>Iranian

What happened to the conquered Iranians, again? Did they magically disappear, or are they simply redefined at your leisure.

...

Aesthetic
Greek empire, however much of the population was iranian. Stop shitposting about ethnic groups you piece of shit

They'd never have kept it, the distance from there to far too great, not to mention the mountains and deserts you'd have to cross to get to Chang'an from the Persian gulf by land.

Quello è un meme desu.

nope.

Rhodesia was brought down by economic and political pressures by the West. Even Zimbabwe-Rhodesia stood a good chance of being a modern functioning nation. It was only the West's insistence that Mugabe be allowed to participate in politics. Then their utter indifference for Mugabe's thuggery, genocide, and other bullshit. That caused the nation to fail.

It is strange that the Rhodesians didn't get support from the USA. Given how many far worse nations we supported in the Cold War.

do imaginary ones count?

hooah.

Glorious Hwan Empire, of course.

did they really control Anatolia? Thought they just marched their army through it to Constantinople. Pretty sure Romans were still in northern Anatolia.

It's a meme map. They literally held the orange sections (other than perhaps Yemen and bits of Sogdiana) for at most like 2 years.

>Barbarian invasion comes a little early this christmas.

I got you famalam. Instead of fighting the germans allow them citizenship in Rome and get them to give fighters to Rome, take those germanic fighters and fight the persians with them and then send the eastern legions out west. The vandals and goths were just trying to get away from the shitty steppe tribes
