I'm honestly of the opinion that equestria is pretty much the miltary power in that world
Even without the WMDs that are luna and celestia
I disagree I think equestria was the main military power of the world but their military seems to be collapsing. canterlot has been taken a few too many times
storm king almost won same with the changelings before they effectivly enginered a coup to put a puppet into power there
I suspect most of these successes are mainly through surprise attacks, catching equestria off guard
I think at worst, equestria might have grown fat and lazy
but so was pre ww1 and ww2 america.
which for a strong aggressor might be a sign that equestria is ready to be conqured.
of course, but I reckon that strong aggressor would only have so long before equestria gets it's act together.
You'd probably have to strike while all the princesses are in the same place, os you can take them out
because if you take out celly and luna, you've got twi and cadence to deal with.
probably a big enough crisis might get equestria's military reinveigorated no offense to shiny but he's a pretty incompetent head of the army to allow canterlot to be taken twice.
perhaps
I think Tirek is a special case
sorry my bad three times
he seemed pretty invulnerable to anything ponies threw at him
what was number 2?
I know the changeling invasion was 1
storm king invasion
but even then, he was being mind raped by the changelings
I thought he was Cadence's husband then
it's a good question I think he might be head of the crystal empire's defense force
maybe?
so he was probably too busy blowing his load in cadence to be bothered with advancing airships.
figuring that was someone else's job that day
based on some tiny quirks about equestira I'm convinced that it was once an imperialistic power
Well my theory is that ponies used to be a sort of a balkanised group
and mostly racially segregated.
I imagine Celly and Luna basically did a god emperor on everyone's ass
to play devils advocate a throw away line from shadow play might offer an explanation. they mentioned they sent the guard all over equestira looking for the pony of shadows and they basicly left the capital unguarded for the storm king to march in
pony of shadows?
the balkanization is fact at this point but celestia and luna were invited from some unseen pony empire ofscreen to be monarch also a canon fact
the villan of the season 7 finale
I don't remember this episode
I must have missed it
I thought season 7 finale was the one where Glimmer and Trixie go on a lesbian bug squashing adventure
that was the season 6 also discord was there
@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.
there's a book called the journal of the two sisters that's canon and basicly describes the begining of celestia and luna's reign
I do love lore expanding episodes
