What games better conveys the cliché of underdogs winning against all odds?
>Most developed, scentifically advanced, tolerant, and culturally rich place in western Europe for a thousand years was ruled by Arabic Moors Wow
>>741154673>Most developed, scentifically advanced, tolerant, and culturally rich place in western Europe got conquered and exterminated by a bunch of religious extremist peasantsreally makes the noggin joggin, maybe diversity and söyence isn't our strenght
>>741154673>>741154842We didn't know how good we had it.
>>741154673virtually every single "arab mathematician" was actually a spaniard (converted to islam)
>>741154673by pillaging everything they had of course
Portuguese anon here just to say: We will do it again.
>>741154673What the fuck do those words even mean.
>>741155051What's up with germans and islam? Nietsche was also notoriously pro-islam
>>741155317he meant to say the Moops, I can see how you'd be confused
>>741155337They just want to be contrarians against Christianity
>>741155308based
>>741154673The funniest part is you're right. Not that they were particularly good or tolerant, it's just how much shittier everywhere else was.
>>741154401Will the Imperials reconquer Hammerfell once and for all?
Our official flag has 4 decapitated muslims. We will do it again.
>>741155308better hurry up then
>>741155146The same is true for many famous medieval muslims from the MENA region, a decent majority of them were persians rather than ayyrabs.
>>741154673>a thousand yearsnot even close
>>741154401That's not what happened though, the reconquista could only begin after Al-Andalus was well and truly shattered due to its own infighting and systemic rot, and the Iberians had loads of help from the Crusaders.It's more of a warning that if you don't have unity and instead seek your own indulgences as the rulers of the Taifas had, you are weak.We can see this in Muslim Sicily where the princes were more focused on each other rather than the normans invading, and the Balkans where disunity and chaos allowed the Ottomans to gobble them up.
>>741155308Fucker, Portugal didn't join the Reconquista, they were sailing and other faggy things instead of fight.
>>741154401no stereotypes were harmed
>>741154401>how does this relate to a video game board>video game board?
>>741155928I remember reading that they were infamous for opening the gates to besieging muslims in towns as well.
>>741156196The town of Toledo in particular is referenced as an example. 711 jews opened the gates so the muslims could come in and slaugher the Europeans
>>741156267But remember, jews were the victims all along.
>THE MOOPS
>>741154401>underdogsWut?Al Andalus wouldn't have fallen if the people weren't so eager to join the Reconquista.This begs the question, how fucking shit was Al Andalus in reality towards the majority of the population, if a few hundred upstarts managed to roll the snowball that fucking big in terms of popular support as they were liberating the peninsula?Curious.
>>741154673Kill yourself. t. Spaniard
>>741155051wait Hitler liked diversity and was appalled by persecution?
>>741154401What a very relevant post to the subject of video games and gaming!
>>741156352It was mostly the power of Christianity.
>>741154673>Rome>Greece>Carthage>Etruscan ItalyWOW
>>741156467This is a gaming board
>>741155308I can only hope
>>741155308Yeah, nah. Don't see it happening. Portugal is just as cucked as any other western European country.
>>741156267why wouldn't they, they were persecuted by christians I'd do the same
>>741155308but you're a moor yourself
>>741155308>getting cucked by stabbers and proud engineersGrim
>>741156352>if the people weren't so eager to join the ReconquistaHow do I put this, they really weren't. When the reconquista took a territory, they expelled the people living there and settled it themselves.You're right in pointing to how disgruntled people were, as the mozarabs were second class citizens alongside jews, but the northerners didn't exactly offer better. This came to a head after the reconquista was finished and the surviving Muslims that were forcibly converted to catholicism were expelled anyways to "clean the blood" of the peninsula.
>>741154673>>741154842Makes you wonder why their lands turned into shitholes and Spain was relatively fine.
>>741156479No no no. Christianity is just a part of it. An excuse.You need to be doing something impressively wrong on a social and psychological and economic level to fuck up as hard as the Muslims have in Spain.Like, a complete contradiction towards basic Human nature and basic decency; a showcase of complete misunderstanding of Human nature and psychology which pissed off the majority of Spain so hard that literal cave dwellers got literally everyone rolling to cleanse Muzzies and even Jewish slave merchants who were trafficking millions of Christian Slavs through Spain but that's a different topic.Muslim wisdom ain't what it's propagandised to be in the end, by the looks of things. Their scientists could have figured out how to avoid rebellion at least, not by looking at astrological charts but by investigating sociology. Too emotionally retarded for it I guess.
>>741155308you will invade bongland and enter schengen, more specifically germland, kick out the moslems and take all the blond womyn for yourself? based
>>741156581why did they move to christian countries then?
>>741155308no you fucking won'tthe only thing modern day poortuguese do is sit in their fucking cuck chair watching their footie and sipping their pisswater as brazillians, indians and others use your country as an entryway to the rest of europe. the most intelligent of your kid run away and leave the shithole country to rot in its own pool of liquid shit
>>741156697Spain had a continent of slaves to subsidize itself until the early 19th century.
>>741156697Oy vey
>>741156723these slavs were pagan though
>>741156697>Spain was relatively fine.
>>741155308Nope, this country is done for and filled with libtards and boomers.Whenever I step outside the house it feels like I just arrived in Mogadishu.
>>741156776because they are retarded. Jews only became smart in 20th century
>>741156697spain is a fucking shithole and would be greece levels of dogshit if it wasnt for north european tourists.
>>741155928>Persecute a group of people>Get surprised when that group supports your enemy who is willing to treat them better
>>741156581Spain was not even between the first 100 countries to expel Jews. If anything their mistake was to not expel them before.
>>741156876>Whenever I step outside the house it feels like I just arrived in Mogadishu.that's just because you see the local Portuguese
>>741156876>say words>throat stolen
>>741156926This is true but it's slso true for every other country in Europe.
>>741156948"Spain" as country didn't even exist for one year before they did it.
>>741155337cool because exotic. like the western attraction towards asian shit but closer culturally
>>741155337germans have some weird fixation with torpedoing europe
>>741155308Sis you're being replaced by Brazillians right now. And you won't do anything about it because the footie match will be on soon.
>>741154842The Reconquista took 500 years and most of it was via very strategic political marriages. But no Single Generation saw massive gains, it was at first very slow, then all at once.Essentially the inverse of Ottomans VS Byzantine Empire.
>>741156872Man, that has to be a nightmare to handle.
>>741155337Protestants have always been huge islamophiles because they both hate Rome. Also protestantism has many characteristics which bring it far closer to islam compared to catholicism, such as its aniconism and belief in hard predestination.
