Ancient Greece, Mediterranean Overlord

The author's accumulation of ancient Greek history seems to be quite strong, and his writing style is also good. It may be that the subject matter of Western history is relatively niche, so the results are average. The highlight should be the description of the experiences of many small characters, commonly known as the plot of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. There are no bloody emotional dramas and it focuses on farming and development. The current shortcoming is that there are a bit too many characters, and maybe the names of Western characters are not conducive to memory. Anyway, the characters that impressed me most when I saw the Bruti War are still the people from the early expeditionary force, such as the queen, the Persian businessman, and the escaped king of Sparta. It is worth looking forward to. The other group portraits are somewhat symbolic. I feel that the expansion speed is normal, and it doesn't have the feeling of being militaristic as some people say. After a war, there is time to digest and the country's changes are described. In short, it is a rare and good Western historical time travel story.

After reading more than 30 chapters, I commented that the paragraphs are poorly segmented. The content part has a lot of research on foreign history, but I don't understand the ancient configuration of soldiers, horses, equipment, and the configuration of various arms.         ， We are talking about the cavalry unit, and the cavalry that can run and shoot are only available in China at least in the Han Dynasty, and they are exclusive to foreigners. Even elites like Gongsun Zuan's white horse Yi Cong need to stop their horses and shoot, rather than shoot when the horse is running. Because running and shooting requires the support of stirrups, the main problem is that even if the cavalry without stirrups can run and shoot hundreds of thousands of Huns, they will not be able to form thousands of cavalry. The level of development of ancient domestic equipment is at least several hundred years ahead of foreign countries. Don't even think about it if it's not available in China. In the end, the author of Cold Weapon Command and Operation is very poor. In the first thirty chapters, he committed several military taboos and had several opportunities. As mentioned earlier, mercenaries overcame night blindness to a certain extent. Magna Graecia failed in the battle with the indigenous people, and the opponent's attack was repelled by a trap. That night, two thousand people attacked, let alone 15,000. Even an army of 5 to 100,000 with discipline and quality like the elite troops of the Han Dynasty would suffer a huge defeat without being prepared to be attacked by a surprise attack. If there were less than 50,000, the whole army would be in danger of being annihilated. Changshe's fire attack method of setting fire to the camp and creating chaos could kill them by deceiving the camp themselves. Once this style of play successfully annihilates an army dozens of times larger than one's own, there will be no loss. In those days, there was no defense against night attacks. Camp in the place shown in the picture. Camp in the ruins of a city overgrown with weeds. If the weather is suitable, it will be over with a fire. How did Liu Bei lose his camp when it was burned? Using Huo Qubing's words again, war is about adapting to circumstances. Only those who learn to make use of the terrain, weather, and situation are famous generals. Without exception, the generals who rely on experience to fight are all mediocre generals who the author said will fight for a lifetime. Famous generals are those who create classic battle examples for future generations by adapting to the changes in situation, terrain, weather, and factors on both sides. Their fame-fighting style is unprecedented. Experience is poison to generals. Anyone who relies on experience is rubbish. A real general is one who is familiar with the art of war and understands the basic application of various terrains and weather conditions. The rest is Huo Qubing's four words of adapting to circumstances. War is a psychological game. If I guess what you are going to do, you will lose. Why is Bai Qi undefeated in his life? The evaluation of the Warring States policy is expected to be better than that of the enemy first, and all of them are accurate. Who has beaten him after reading the script? To put it bluntly, before the war started, he had even thought of all his opponent's future responses. Why would he lose? This kind of person will not lose even if he knows nothing about the art of war. What's more, Bai Qi is the founder of the war of annihilation to eliminate the enemy's vital forces. It seems that those who emphasize experience and past battles are themselves amateurish. Real famous generals are masters of psychology, mental arithmetic and strategy.

Preserving national traditions and implementing national autonomy is really a big failure. In the early stage, you can quickly grow bigger and stronger, but in the later stage, there are endless hidden dangers. It feels like you have seen too much singing and dancing, and then you feel that it is good, and you copy it from China. Also, the policy towards prisoners was too lax. The blood shed by one's own soldiers and the battles won were all at the expense of others.

(･∀･) I've been reading this book for quite some time, and it's almost finished, so I'll write a review to express my impressions. Personally, I like this novel very much. I can see the author's intentions and his considerable understanding of the city-state culture. The organization and logic are also very clear. It is a qualified historical article. It is difficult to find foreign historical texts nowadays. Among them, half of Japanese texts have to be cut off, and half of modern texts have to be cut off. Medieval European texts are quite rare, and there may be half of medieval and Renaissance texts. It can be said that there are really few city-state texts, and it is even more difficult to pick out qualified ones. It can be said that the authors are rare in this niche field. Advantages of this book: 1. Clear outline and smooth logic. Nowadays, online articles basically feel like they are written wherever they come to mind, and it is not easy to find a good outline. As a result, the phenomenon of reading books is seriously inconsistent with the logic of the previous and later texts. This book does a really good job in this regard. 2. Development is relatively based on the Basic Law. The current development of historical literature does not follow the basic laws. It generally does not take a few months to develop firearms. It generally does not take a month to equip an entire army with horseshoes. It takes a month to train an elite soldier. The average person can build a blast furnace and build a steam engine and an internal combustion engine. Changes are effective immediately without any side effects. 3. Careful research has been done, and the author himself is very familiar with the culture of the city-state, so what he writes will not be waterless duckweed. The best part of this article is the description of the changes in the city-state in the years after each war. Disadvantages: 1. There are a huge number of characters, but not many of them have well-shaped images. Especially the characters in the later period are completely anecdotes, and the images of many people in the later period are supplemented by historical images. Except for the Davos family, throw away all the characters in history. There are not many who can make an impression, probably the reckless Amyntas, the former boss of Amendorala Corrunes, the finance minister Marigi, the prince-in-law Patroclus, the Spartan prince Leoticides, the wise general Printors, etc., Which may not account for 10% of the total number of appearances. The shortcoming of the early stage is that it is too long, and the shortcoming of the later stage is that it is seriously abbreviated. What the previous and later authors lacked was probably insufficient description and rendering of the scenes on the battlefield. For example, the death of Adoris, the last battle of Morbar, the last battle of Mago, and the Romans' attack on Ostia are all places that can easily exaggerate the emotions of the battlefield, but the author writes them so coldly that people will really choose to skip them. In addition, forcing a 50-50 split on the battlefield is also a problem. If the author's development follows the Basic Law, then the war really does not follow the Basic Law.

The author has put great effort into the writing style and plot conception. The map can be placed in the preface to make it more prominent. From the time the protagonist was 19 to almost 50, he stayed up late reading for the past three days. The work was delayed again and again... So I skipped the Roman roll without reading it carefully. I have an impression of the two characters Melphis and Magill, especially the former recently. The people who fought together at the beginning are now old, and the protagonist is almost 50, so I have a lot of emotions. Great book!

The only problem with this book is that the author doesn't know how to divide it into paragraphs, and the long Western names make it painful to read.

Looks good, support all orders.

Seeing that it was too late for normal people to hide after recognizing him, Prince Spark still dared to let people leave to have a private interview with an enemy and acquaintance. Don't you know how to avoid condensation? ? Aren't you afraid that the people in the King's Council of Elders will be dissatisfied with him? Still don't care?

Let's not talk about whether ancient Greece had such a large population. Just say that the protagonist fights almost every day and gets stronger as he fights. It is really the aura of the protagonist. It's not like using war to support war.

The first part feels good, but there is a war in the middle. A woman suddenly comes out from the front. I look at it and it is the concubine of Cyrus. She is actually the heroine. Let's not talk about second-hand goods. The author is a little smug at the end of the chapter. He thinks this chapter is very good. Wow 🤭 almost disgusted me, so I successfully discarded it.

I just read it, I think it is well written, please like it This article starts from a small person, to become the king of Xizhonghai, and continues to grow stronger after suffering. The writing is excellent and the description is more detailed. The description of multiple characters highlights the theme of the story, breaking away from the single image of traditional novels, and also has the soul of the novel. In terms of advancing the plot of the story, it was a little stiff at the beginning and then had its own rhythm. It advanced slowly, not in a hurry, and through the perspectives of some small characters in the context of the big story. The structure was relatively tight, but fortunately In terms of story conception, the author also had his own ideas, whether it was the magic at the beginning. Whether it is teaching, capturing the city, or describing the war, urban development, national planning, etc., All have their own independent thinking to achieve the overall world of the novel. Although there are some places that are a bit stiff, I think it is the author's first full-length online novel. He corrected it in the later stages of the story. The author has made rapid progress in his skills. I must praise it. In general, this is a good Western epic novel worth reading. It breaks away from the fantasy background and strictly follows the pulse of world development. It narrates the Greek epic from the perspective of a ruler. It depicts the war very vividly and describes the characters interestingly. Without the involvement of modern times, it takes readers to the ancient Greek era to see a magnificent war history. There is not much involvement in modern times. It has a classical and ancient taste. I hope to read more. Also, cheers for the author

At this time, Syracuse was not only a powerful country in the Western Mediterranean, but also a cultural and academic center, occupying almost all of Sicily. At the same time, it competed with Carthage for half a century, and its military power even surpassed Athens and Sparta, making it the strongest country in the Greek world. Dionysius should be regarded as the second overlord figure in this book after Agesilaus of Sparta. After dealing with him, it will be the Samnites, Camillus of Rome and Brennus of Gaul. Looking back, I still feel that it is a pity that Archita died. This was the founder of mathematical mechanics. How many technology points can he get with him.

My wife is second-hand again. Hey, this is the second one I've watched. It doesn't matter what second-hand the author's wife is, but don't put it into the work. I was disgusted again 😅😅

Author, shouldn't you take advantage of your busy schedule to update the map? 😰

Support the genuine version, comrades! 🤫

It feels like it ended up falling into a routine, without the attraction of the previous part. It seems that I still prefer the protagonist to be a general, riding a horse and whipping, and fighting on the battlefield.

The Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece 31-37

The intruder, whose hands were full of blood, returned home safely and only paid some compensation, just like I came to your house and felt all kinds of fun, and then I paid some money and left. Have you asked Dracos, have you asked the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, Silitium, Crotone will all agree? The Dionians who have abandoned Hades' belief in justice have lost the protection of Hades and are destined to be burned down by fire again.

Greco-Persian War. Typical Greeks' own obscenities There were only 600,000 people in Greece 200 years ago. How many people were there in Greece more than 2,000 years ago? According to Westerners, Persia at that time was a large empire spanning Asia, Africa and Latin America, with more soldiers than the population of Greece. To deal with the small Greece and Persia, as for dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops, even if Greece is conquered, it will not even cost enough to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops. The Persian emperor fought without considering the cost at all. To take a step back, the Persian emperor was out of his mind. He had to send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Greece, which had a population of hundreds of thousands. So why should the Greek side win? Based on Herodotus's bragging? It was really just his bragging. Only the Greek side has records of such a large war, but there is no such record on the Persian side. It can't be that this war was a disgraceful failure, so the Persians didn't dare to record it, right? As the saying goes, isolation does not prove anything. When I heard this story, I felt unreliable, like a Korean who shot Li Shimin blind. I'm afraid it was the weak Greeks who were lusting after it, but the Persians were happy to hear it.

I feel that the author and the protagonist have gone too far in their pursuit of being an ideal king or a sage and a benevolent king. The newly conquered enemy was immediately moved by various benevolent policies and shows, and was convinced physically and mentally. You are so benevolent that you are invincible, so why not give him a slap in the neck? How can you show kindness without suffering? To reward without punishing is to be benevolent and stupid! And do you think ancient Greece was a big, wealthy country controlled by corrupt Confucians like China? The army and the people will follow you to fight to the death to conquer powerful enemies. After the battle, there will be no loot or slaves, but you will still have to use the taxes you have paid so hard to provide "benevolent government" to the enemy! Do you think the ancient Greeks are all today's white-left Madonna bitches?

The proud author suddenly gets a concubine as the heroine when the war is approaching. . He looked like he was asking for credit, so I vomited. He was really poisoned without even realizing it.

Map at that time, 🙂

The one percent local tax is too outrageous. The Han Dynasty Imperial Capital has a twenty-one tax. Will we not use the money in the future? Or doing business tax?

Throughout history, people around you are more trustworthy, but the protagonist does the opposite. It is outrageous to distrust the Persian mercenaries who accompany him and trust foreigners.

Brother Jiu, I think this novel can still be regarded as a good book overall. First of all, the plot of this book is quite good, the historical knowledge is solid, and there are not too many loopholes. For our general readers, it is within the acceptable range; the rhythm is well grasped, and the appropriate popular science introduction in the text does not affect the smoothness of the plot and the rhythm of the plot. The plot control is good, and the design of the battle is also very innovative, but the description of the war is lackluster and not exciting enough; in terms of supporting roles, the character description is a bit thin and not rich enough. Although they have their own personalities, they are not very impressive, and they are more like facial makeup, but it is still readable. The author of this book did not deliberately pursue the so-called translation style in the character dialogue, nor did it include scenes of Chinese dialogue between Westerners. He also deliberately simplified some plots and avoided areas where he was not good at. This indeed made the rhythm of the novel smoother, but it also had great disadvantages, such as , this style of writing will make the novel appear whiter. Although online articles need to cater to most readers, and appropriate whitening is a must, the excessive whitening of the language of this kind of novel that uses "foreign history" as its selling point is a huge flaw for expressing many of the era's customs and regional characteristics that should be expressed. Another fatal flaw of this book is its grasp of politics and its neglect of interest groups. In this book, the images of many supporting characters are not distinct enough, more similar to N in the game. Although the IQ of the characters is online, the author thinks too simply about the humanity of the characters. ----Recommended by the official @hao "The Thirty-Six Strategies of the Great Book Desolation" Come to us for the book desolation!!!

I recommend The Immortal of the Aztecs. It is well written and a must-read for those who are short on books.

The Mediterranean Overlords was well written. Rome must graft Eastern things into the Western classical period. It was indeed a bit inconsistent. I stopped reading it later, but this does not mean that there is a problem with the author's ability. This is also an innovative attempt. I have been waiting for the author to write a new book! Don't be affected! Come on, author, keep at it, you can write well!

Any author who is capable but unlikely to be included in the protagonist team secretly writes him to death. And it's an illogical writing to death

In ancient times, how many millions of people could there be in Greece, a land that was not rich in food? At most a few hundred thousand to a million dollars, right? How come there are 300,000 citizens in Athens? The territory of Athens is only a few tenths of that of Greece. This is a bit too fake. As a farming nation, Greece's limit is just tens of thousands of people.

The sixth volume is too long-winded, with more than ten chapters without any real meaning, which made me choose not to subscribe but to skip the subscription.
