>castrates, blinds and mutilates literal fucking children in order to remove them as political threatsAh, trvly the pond of civilization in a world of barbatity!
i.e. true Roman
>>17999009Good thing other mediaeval nations didn't do that and just mercifully killed their pretenders
>>17999017Yeah? That torture porn shit wasnt a thing in Europe.
>>17999045Because Germanic peoples were actually Turkic descendants of Scythians just like Jurchens
Children such as?
>>17999066>>17999078Watch the Jackie Chan movie retard then read the biography of Michael Palaiologos he allied with Turks against Fourth Crusade Christians to reclaim Istanbul then removed the eyes of his own son who wasn't even a teen yet and a few years later he'd outright kill him he adopted the Jewish pedophile philosophy of Isaac from the Old Testament just like Ottoman Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent
>>17999009Yeah, blinding or castrating them removes them from being eligible as emperor. Better than just killing them.But there is that 1 emperor who had his mom as regent, and when he grew up and tried assuming responsibility she blinded him (and he died shortly after)
>>17999009Eunuchs could become huge political players if they were smart
>>17999120>Michael Palaiologos>4th CrusadeAnon...
>>17999263I don't know who decided which leaders should be put in the Civilization 6 video game but he must've certainly been a complete retard anyway since he chose picrel bitch over Justinian even though everyone would choose fan favorites from Beyond the Sword return rather than someone who already was included in Gods & Kings and that empress you mentioned would've been the 3rd leader for Byzantium no one wanted a completely new game it's like Warcraft 4 ever being made despite the immense popularity of all the characters introduced alongside Arthas Illidan Thrall Akama Rexxar Garithos Sylvanas Varimathras Cairne Bloodhoof Chen Stormstout Jaina Proudmoore Magtheridon ect. no one cared about Uther Deathwing Zul'jin and Gul'dan who already existed in Blizzard's early work
>>17999120This comment contains multiple different events from 700 years and gets everything wrong.
>>17999017I think even the murder of a child would weigh less on the conscience if done quickly and painlessly than the utterly depraved proclivities of the Greek.
>>17999333>still not mentioned which Greek castrated, blinded and mutilated literal fucking children
>>17999344Astonishing post.
>>17999384>AI dogshit
>>17999402Do you want me to pick up a pen and write you a list by hand? What I gave you is quite sufficient in exposing the sheer depths of your retardation.
>>17999413Surely you read some kind of source when you are making this claim and not just pulling out of your ass based on a CK2 mechanic?
>>17999413AI slop retard. Fuck off.
It makes perfect sense. Violence against rivals served as public theater to instill fear and obedience, now their enemies knew not to mess with them.
>>17999009It's a case similar to the transition from the hangman's rope to the guillotine, blinding someone might seem barbaric, but the person would continue to live and would in theory be able to seek penance as they'd still be alive so it was considered more humane and christian way to treat your humiliated rivals.
>>17999313Well, his source is a random shitty chinese fantasy movie, what did you expect?
>>17999009Yes. Considering the time ( when slaughtering entire families of your rivals being norm ) it really was civil and merciful treatment.
>be merciful to children who will become political rivals to your dynasty>they grow up and foment rebellion and sabotage your realmWow if only this could've been avoided somehow.
>>17999009>claims to be Rome>literally has B for Byzantium on its flagpottery
>>18000337There is mercy in death.Castrating or blinding or otherwise crippling children is actual subhuman demon behavior and anybody who engages in it needs to be exterminated.
>>17999384>lekapanos>eunich>lacks a penis
>>18000920
>>17999009just classic medjeets being medjeet
>>17999009>>castrates, blinds and mutilatesEverybody did this. Until the late 10th century in Western Europe the practiced continued.
