Who is the Greatest Conqueror in human history?

Ptolemy I Soter ticks all my great conqueror boxes.

 

Sleepin on Sherman

 

eww

 

Not enough votes for Muhammad/Jesus.
Whole lot of conquering done by religion.

 

Haven’t upgraded. Good?

 

Andy Reocho brolift if you guys like those kind of games you should check out Victoria 3 when it comes out later this year.

 

This looks badass

 

I’ve played a bunch of Vic 2 and it’s a lot of fun but Paradox (the developer) has improved a lot since then and I think V3 is going to be insanely good.

 

Absolutely not.

 

Still go thru spurts where I'll become a hobbit and do a game of Civ.

I play with my GF sometimes, but she doesn't understand domination victory >>> everything else.

 

Gandhi dropping nukes at will

 

IMO, any conquering that was done by The Historical Jesus should be credited to Saul/Paul. Christianity wouldn't have even reached regional status without The Pauline Letters.

 

I play Civ 6 in random binges

 

still occasionally play civ and have been contemplating buying AoE on steam for a retro session

 

I voted Khan but he mostly beat up unranked comp.

 

It is Alexander the Great.

Yeah, Phillip made the army, but fuck me they, spoke Greek in Afghanistan for several hundred years.

 

Mongols had a technical advantage over their foes. Alexander, just bump rushed Asia with 30k guys with pikes and mean attitude.

 

I’m playing civ 6 right now.




Crazy.

 

I feel like you learn a decent amount of history & geography playing Vic as well

 

Can definitely say that Napoleon is the most overrated.

Soft early schedule, but couldn’t hack it against the powerhouses in the conference.

 

They had technical advantage because no one could use the weapons they used or could ride like they could. They were just better and stronger than everyone which puts them on top of the list. Alexander was a hack compared to Genghis

 

Critical Race Theory

 

The first few AOEs we're so good. Haven't played the more recent ones

 

Khan is basically the Dabo of conquerors

Dabo Khan

 

Dudes the Khanate shaped the whole trajectory of Russia and the Abbasid Caliphate. Plus the Mongols probably introduced the plague to Europe. Undefeated.

 

Khan could send 5 different armies out to fight on different fronts and be coordinated enough to meet up months later together in a spot 1000 miles away to conquer someone.

 

it’s my favorite

 

Rush Limbaugh

 

Total War games are my favorite. How does this compare?

 

Victoria is definitely less involved in terms of the micro of battles. It's much more of a diplomacy/economy/alliance based game, with some aspects of war.

Hearts of Iron is Paradox's WW2 simulator that's a little more battle/attack oriented (while still keeping aspects of supply chain/development).

 

Spent so much time on eu4

 

bUt WhAt AbOuT AlExAnDeR???

mf zerg rushed his way through the 400 bcs

 

entire known world to who? The Macedonians?

that has always been a strange phrase to me

 

I’m still playing Civ 5 like a peasant

 

3 continents is not enough for you?

 

Lol he didn’t conquer any continents. A small part of Europe, a tiny part of Africa, and 5% of Asia?

The Eastern Roman Empire didn’t conquer two continents just because their capital was along the Bosporus Strait.

 

I still play AOE II every few months. Wololol

 

Subetei was the greatest strategist, so Genghis imvho

Caesar in Alesia is was peak military genius. I would put him or Napoleon second

 

Iron Mike, his style was impetuous and his defense was impregnable
