Romans, Scottish, Vietnam

viking homelands

Not a kingdom but Monte Negro during early modern times

Japan, Russia, Finland (not a Kingdom)

croatia - ottomans feared their warriors
poland - on constant frontier for 850 years until got rekt by politics pretty impressive nonetheless
russia - no need to explain i guess
ethiopia - somehow everyone had hard time trying to conquer them
britain/japan - islands, easy mode

>croatia - ottomans feared their warriors

i'm a relatively fresh Veeky Forumsfag but i've never heard this before

Montenegro was a kingdom, but what is more relevant to this question is the fact that there is litterally nothing there worth fighting for in such inhospitable terrain

China

They may have stopped the "light"(would be considered a full scale invasion by european standards) raids, but they still got raped by the largest coming empire, the mongols and the jurchens in the north.

it doesnt matter if youre new, everyones retarded here anyway

Afghans, Swiss, Monte Negro, Ethiopia, basically anybody with mountains, they give -2 to attackers

Kingdom of Urartu/Armenia. They had mainly fortress cities like tushpa(van), erebuni...ect

Where is that, OP?

Ancient Pergamon

>Cucked by England since the 18th Century.
scots ruled over england you idiot
>Chinese province for a thousand years.
their defeat of multiple invasions of the preeminent powers of this earth warrants their acceptance into OP's category

Tamil kings have a really good fucking track record. The Deccan not as much but it's still bretty good thanks to this

Vietnam, North Korea, and Cuba.
ask USA if you dont believe me..

>when you need to develop a counterweight trebuchet to take French castles

Uh, no? That's not the history of the trebuchet at all. It was a Byzantine development.

Korea

Britain. Last I checked 1066 was the last time the island wa successfully invaded.

My bedroom.

OP here again. I just love swallowing cocks. Can you guys put successful sieges and battles as well as your answer?

A counterweight trebuchet is different from a normal trebuchet user.

A fortress that no one bothers to assail is not indicative of its defense.
