MONARCHY

2018-12-07 07:13:27 UTC  

King Louis XX

2018-12-07 23:06:30 UTC  

So Vercingetorix came up in my corrections project

2018-12-07 23:07:03 UTC  

Seems french were snatching defeat from the jaws of victory before they were a country

2018-12-07 23:35:18 UTC  

Julius Caesar. The Wall General. He does the whole wall thing at least 3 times in his career

2018-12-07 23:38:38 UTC  

He built a wall

2018-12-07 23:38:53 UTC  

And made the Gauls pay for it

2018-12-07 23:38:59 UTC  

in blood...

2018-12-07 23:39:25 UTC  

I gotta say though that is a smarmy ass tactic

2018-12-07 23:39:31 UTC  

Also once during the Roman civil war. and once in spain

2018-12-07 23:39:37 UTC  

O you have a fortress?

2018-12-07 23:39:51 UTC  

>builds fortress around fortress

2018-12-07 23:40:00 UTC  

this fucking guy..

2018-12-07 23:41:18 UTC  

I didn't know Caesar was such an incredible bad ass though

2018-12-07 23:41:28 UTC  

Thought he was just a politician

2018-12-07 23:47:10 UTC  

no. most politicians in rome at that time also were commanders

2018-12-07 23:52:11 UTC  

or at least were

2018-12-07 23:54:38 UTC  

It wasn't until the last century or two that people got political power without being warriors

2018-12-07 23:55:18 UTC  

Most ancient kings and a good number of medieval kings had fought before

2018-12-07 23:55:58 UTC  

@Ehzek you might love this channel. great documentaries about historical battles for all over the world and history
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw/videos

2018-12-07 23:57:34 UTC  

Yeah, I want to look up more of them

2018-12-07 23:58:30 UTC  

That is something I wish the Army did more. Having working knowledge of military battles really feels like it would help a lot

2018-12-07 23:59:05 UTC  

Caesar outnumbered 3 to 1 and winning? That is impressive

2018-12-07 23:59:26 UTC  

They are doing a Caesar series soon

2018-12-08 00:00:17 UTC  

only times he'd generally lose was against other veteran commanders. and he'd always beat them the second time

2018-12-08 00:00:31 UTC  

veteran ROMAN commanders

2018-12-08 00:00:55 UTC  

He did lose to Verc once but whatever

2018-12-08 00:01:14 UTC  

That whole thing was nothing short of impressive

2018-12-08 00:01:55 UTC  

Though its obvios that the Romans were WAY better fighters period

2018-12-08 00:02:48 UTC  

Augustus Caesar was just as good a commander , took after his uncle

2018-12-08 00:04:02 UTC  

That whole thing made me think that Caesar couldnt possible have gone out like a bitch though

2018-12-08 00:04:44 UTC  

Though history is written by the victors

2018-12-08 00:05:17 UTC  

At the very least I would expect many of them to be sporting black eyes

2018-12-08 00:06:18 UTC  

well, Augustus made it so after Julius died he became a god. so in a way it was written by the victors

2018-12-08 00:13:34 UTC  

Should look into the Swedish guy Carolus Rex from the Sabaton song.
