Gothic Revival, but Roman

CK3

Very well written! I recently found a rare historical article that can be read in one sitting and makes people want to read it again. There is also a book on East Africa and a book on Austrian Empire on the bookshelf, but in fact these two books have good ideas, bright spots, many poisonous points and water problems. In Austria, it is actually a bit harmful to start the whole life at a young age (in order to change the fate of Austria in 1848). The author in East Africa has little experience. Although this book has some toxic points (the male protagonist gets sick from time to time, the author likes to make jokes, etc.), The problems are not big. Overall, it is still worth reading.

I feel that going south to Anatolia is too nonsense. Instead of laboring hard to conquer a territory that is a mess of religions and ethnic groups, it is better to unify the grassland and crown the Khan.

I read a Romanian novel about Wallachia before. Now I see another one writing about Foodoro, which is really outrageous.

They have already invaded Anatolia, and they will have to massacre them in the future. After Manchikot, Anatolia has been green for a long time, and there is no core population. Even if it is revived, it will not be far from destruction. When slaughtering, you can leave behind technical talents such as doctors, judges, scholars, craftsmen, and blacksmiths. Serfs are everywhere these days. I watched a video the other day. A Turkish man did a genetic test and found that he had only 15% Turkic ancestry, and the rest was Greek ancestry. As a result, everyone was numb and laughed to death. In fact, it means that the majority of the population here is still Greek, but it has been green for a long time, so it is difficult to assimilate. There are also Armenians who can also fight hard. Heraclius was not an Armenian back then. Let's rebuild the Little Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia first and use it as a vassal shield to block the green tide in the Middle East.

There is also a very rare Jingluo that starts in Crimea.

Embarrassing, could you please stop having so many Japanese-style love plots in medieval novels? I can't write emotional dramas. I suggest the author just explain who he married and who he had children with in a few sentences.

Okay, okay, Theodoro is also a Romanian, right? Well, Romania has both Romanians and horses, so I am more correct than you😡

What are the latest pictures? There can be setbacks, but there is no need to do so. Can you still get military power later? Do you want the protagonist to become a controller who cannot talk about military affairs at all? It is important to know that when a ruler leads his troops to fight, winning or losing is very important. If he wins, just like Lionheart King, his descendants will always have a high degree of control over military power. If you lose, you have no excuse to take charge, and others won't dare to let you take charge.

The data on war casualties and population written by the author are simply speechless. There are now just over 2 million people in Crimea. In the 15th century, it would have been pretty good if 500,000 people died. Diodoro didn't even occupy half of Crimea, it was all mountainous. It would be great to have 100,000 people. You can actually lose 20,000 people in the war. It can also kill 4,000 young people. Even if only half of them are Diodoro's people. One fight and your whole Diodoro will be ruined.

The protagonist's mental state is not like that of a historical figure, but more like that of a mentally disturbed player who played EU4 all night long. Although he is in Theodosius, he cannot integrate into it at all, and his style of painting is different. There are also people who sit on the interests of the feudal nobles but always think about radical reforms to reform themselves. Many things they do are a bit taken for granted.

It's just a piece of land to start the game. The difficulty is a bit high. To be honest, it's more difficult than the mayor of Castle. To rebuild like this, the protagonist is more or less like 666 God King

If you fight for hegemony, you will fight for hegemony, coyly and lovingly. Then why are you fighting for hegemony? Can't you just lie down?

I would like to give a few small comments. Although I am extremely, very, very lucky to have established the Third Rome in EU, I still have a few small comments, that is: First, the author is actually not good at war scenes, or the deliberate description always feels strange and strange. The second thing is that Manuel will make some subversive remarks at every turn. Although it is said to be funny, he can actually be made into a humorous male protagonist. There is no need to deliberately include some modern words. Third, in fact, the handling of internal affairs is actually very vague. I always feel that the author has something he wants to write, but he doesn't write it out. It is always a little short of that. He can focus more on internal affairs.

The biggest problem in Rome was internal fighting. From the moment the assassin's dagger penetrated Caesar's body, the country was cursed. This cannot be saved by human power.

The pictures I found online are pretty good (the first picture is the author's, I posted it by the way)

It feels like the protagonist is completely reshaping a country based on a corpse, which is too difficult. Although success is foreseeable in the end, it is just a re-enactment of Komnenos' ZTE. Why? Is this all it takes to open such a big time travel thing? There is no way, his starting capital is too small (referring to the small country of Diodoro), and his stamina is insufficient (the weak Greeks are neither as good at martial arts nor as strong in fighting will as the Turkmen, and their population is also seriously insufficient to support the ambition to conquer large areas of land or even establish a huge empire), except for that one As a country and a political power, he doesn't have anything that is urgently needed. The protagonist has to build and obtain everything by himself. Even after the protagonist has gained some momentum, the cunning Greeks who lack loyalty and sense of responsibility stab him in the back. I can only say that it is too hell. Except for Jingluo, I do not recommend reading this script.

The mentality of the protagonist is not suitable for a historical area, it should be in a Japanese light novel. Even in modern times, not everyone is as sentimental as him, okay? He also looks like a villain, thinking about being the emperor and reviving Rome, but he is not mentally prepared for this.

Still not sensitive to area, 4 to 10 Greek acres, that is, 6 to 15 acres, is a big landowner. This land can only produce one or two thousand kilograms of wheat a year, which is difficult for a family of three to feed.

What have you been writing about in these recent chapters? I don't understand it at all. It's okay to have setbacks, but you can't write like this.

Has the author considered writing the 1356 Dharma King script for his next book? The Duke of Burgundy, his uncle, is the murderous regent, and the future Burgundy problem has troubled France for nearly a thousand years. The Duke of Champagne is expanding wildly and illegally in the country. The Duke of Normandy will soon seal off his territory and leave his name in history. The Frankish knights in the Toulouse area were sharpening their swords in preparation for the First Crusade. Emperor Shinra is demonstrating a famous scene - being able to bend and stretch. Catholicism is facing the most powerless moment in history - the patricide of Shinra. At this time, France will be the first to be powerful and filial. It will be a stroke of God. In the future, it will be impossible to take the lead in educational reform or even the merger of the East and the West. Iberia has not yet begun to conquer again, Italy is shattered into pieces, Ireland is fighting with each other, and England is being invaded by three parties. The King of France's journey is through Britain, Iberia, and Italy. In the end, it would be a sure win for HRE to choose France as emperor. The battle along the way is of course accompanied by economic reform and infrastructure development. In the future, we can also explore the New World. Of course, carrying out the Crusades in the name of a filial son is the right way. Holy war takes over the Mediterranean and then establishes Rome. The books are written in the same text, the chariots are on the same track, and they pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty😃

I just read the last chapter and it felt pretty good I hope the author will continue to write The last Byzantine novels I liked so much were all "Eagles Rising Byzantium" by His Excellency Gawain and the Great Manzi

The picture above shows the current situation at that time, and the picture below shows the comparison of modern place names in this world

Pictures edited from Google Maps screenshots The picture above shows the relevant territory and some of the town and place names at that time; the picture below shows the modern territory and place names for comparison

Later, the protagonist's main branch died out, Xiao Yamu'er directly entered the Lord's Castle, and the world line ended 😏

As shown in the picture below, Dalmatika was modified from the kaftan worn by the Crescent Christians in Asia Minor at that time. It can also be called haftan. It was a popular costume of Byzantine nobles in the 14th and 15th centuries (please ignore the turban in that drama) (a Romani flavor)

Shumiz underwear and shirt: chenmise, mostly made of linen Dabrit: doublet, usually worn outside of Shumiz Mantle cape: mantle/cloak Palum: worn together with Dalmatica as outing clothing, but it was no longer popular except for the nobles in the 15th century Paludamentum: a large square cloak, usually dyed purple, red, and white. In the 15th century, no one except the royal family seemed to wear it on special occasions...

Balkan and Xiaoya dared to have the idea of ​​​​entering the castle before they had eaten everything. Is the author afraid that the protagonist would avoid the Nicene story?
