In this chuddy world today it's nice to see a game treat Muslims and Anglos as moral equals.
>>747617987I remember reading a memoir by an Australian soldier where he remarked that Ottomans were unironically more honorable than the Germans because they wouldn't do shit like bombing hospital ships or something.
>>747617987Gameplay-wise it's the best one yet but the maps are kinda boring especially coming off Isonzo. I'm hoping they'll introduce some Caucasus or Balkan front maps down the line to diversify the environments a bit.>>747619120>aftermath of siege of kut in your pathOttomans could be pretty big bastards too but it probably depended on individual battalions. German soldiers involved in the Rape of Belgium probably weren't the same ones that partook in the Christmas truce.
>>747619120Sso why'd they genocide armenians and greeksWell tbf greeks also genocided turks but that's not the point
Come to think of it how did Greece and Turkey go from the most prosperous regions in the ancientt world to lolcows of the near east
>>747619892mongolturkic invasions of 300-400AD that lead to destruction of places like Sanctuary at Eleusis and Library of Alexandria
>>747620035>Thing that happened 1488 years ago is why my nation is a poor shithole in the modern times o algo
>>747617987Aw sweet another WWI game balanced around having a large player count that will be reduced to 50~ people by the end of the year.
>>747620560This but unironically.
>>747620035No, almost every factual assertion in that post is historically incorrect.Here is what is wrong with the claim, followed by the actual historical shifts that altered the economic and geopolitical stature of the Aegean and Anatolia.Fact-Checking the 4chan Post"Mongol-Turkic invasions of 300–400 AD": Neither Mongols nor Turkic peoples invaded Greece or Anatolia during the 4th century AD.The invaders threatening the Roman Empire in the 300s–400s AD were primarily Germanic groups (Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals) and the Huns (a nomadic confederation of disputed steppe origins, not Mongol or Turkic).Turkic migrations into Anatolia (the Seljuks) did not occur until the 11th century AD (e.g., Battle of Manzikert, 1071).Mongol invasions of the Near East occurred in the 13th century AD (1240s–1250s).Destruction of Eleusis: The Sanctuary of Eleusis was desecrated in 396 AD by Alaric I and the Visigoths (a Germanic people), in the wake of anti-pagan decrees issued by Roman Emperor Theodosius I, not by Central Asian nomads.Destruction of the Library of Alexandria: Alexandria is in Egypt, not Greece or Turkey. Furthermore, the Library experienced multiple fires and gradual decline over centuries (Julius Caesar in 48 BC, Aurelian in the 270s AD, the decree of Theophilus in 391 AD), bearing no connection to nomadic invasions of Anatolia or Greece.
>>747620646>Aw sweet another WWI game balanced around having a large player countThis is like the 4th WW1 game the devs have made and not one of them is balanced around having a large player count and all of them are balanced around having tons of bots.
>>747622107The bots are too shit and the no-lifes are too good.
>>747619120>Ottomans>honorableThey were the main and ruling cause of piracy for hundreds of years. Their whole trade aside from stealing and looting, was slavery.
>>747621225Yk what's sad about what actually happened yo ghe Library of Alexander and many ancient texts, nobody burned them down, the books rotted away due to old age and nobody had the money to fix them
Btw Romans used Papyrus, the reason Europeans regressed to expensive sheepskin the before paper got introduced from the East is because Mediterranean trade routes collapsed
>>747619434if you've been around greeks and armenians, you'd probably want to genocide them too
>>747619120>Ottomans were unironically more honorable than the Germans because they wouldn't do shit like bombing hospital shipsThe Ottomans were a broke undeveloped shithole by that point so they probably didn't even have the weapons to bomb said ships. Also these are the same people that ethnically cleansed all Christians out of Anatolia
>>747619327>caucasus front>spawn>no field hospital>no winter clothes>no tent>no timber>no food>freeze to death>lose the match
>>747623997
>>747623692Most of what was in there wasn't a "library" like you would expect. The majority of what was in there were tax records. While those are very historically important data, its boring and not sexy at all.
>>747624209Tax records tell you everything about the economy
>>747624185im not indian thougheverbeit
>>747624248You are turkish saar
>>747624239Couldn't make it all the way through to the third sentence, could you.
>>747624276not turkish either you dumb albanian
>>747624317The fact you seethe about Greeks tell me you're a brown Turkcel, tiny pecker German chud, a Larpcedonian, Alb*nian or an Australian neo nazi
>>747624025>Also these are the same peoplethe young turks, especially enver, had their own huge scandals and blunders but the leadership in gallipoli had no interest or resources to harass or kill christian peasants since it would accomplish nothing.
>>747624420>>747624420>you're a brown Turkcel, tiny pecker German chud, a Larpcedonian, Alb*nian or an Australian neo naziim none of these shit lmao, my race is objectively the ubermensch. hitler himself would explode from the sight of my own people.
>>747624494Fuck of slav.
>>747624494Are you black
>>747624494ah the true aryan hindu
If you're bored just post about ancient Greece on Instagram, Turks, Albanians, Macedonians, Blacks, Macedonians and Neo-Nazis will immediately come out of the woodworks yo claim Greek history isn't Greek
How in the fuck did the Balkans and Asia Minor even become the way it is, is it just generations of invasion after invasion?There's brown people but also blonde hair blue eyed people also weren't Turks originally Asians?
>>747625764Genetically, Modern Greeks are almost identical to Mycaneans-Most Turks are Anatolians with slight Asian admixture(there's a reason people joke about Turkish nationalists avoiding DNA tests) Isn't really surprising like have you seen Chinese looking Hungarians
>>747625764being the center of everything important for hundreds of years invites a shit load of conflict that ruins everything around you.
>>747627265Germany is in the center of Europe brother
>>747619120>Ottomans >HonorableFuckoff roach
>>747627442nigga hush, you got genocided
>>747625764>is it just generations of invasion after invasion?yes. basically every year the ottoman emperor was expected to go to war or people would think he was a pussy, especially if he was recently anointed emperorthey'd put out a call and all the destitute retards of anatolia would show up excited to do war in the hopes they'd get rich. they had huge numbers of people to just throw away which is not the case for the europeans in the areaplus everyone in that area was backstabbing each other constantly, agreeing in principle to fight the turks but then never showing up, double dealing with the turks or profiting from their destroying their neighbours (france and venice especially did a lot of backroom deals with them)this mindbroke the people of the area and you get crazy shit in response like vlad tepes aka dracula who did asymmetrical warfare against the turks using terror and brutality as his primary weapon, most famously impaling 20,000+ turks on sharpened logs to create a forest of the impaled :)>also weren't Turks originally Asians?yes they were asiatic steppe people from western mongolia
>>747617987Ausbros and Turks had a strange respect for each other. Like during truces soldiers being allowed to trade amongst eachvother. Both spoke about how both sides fought honourably and at at the end of the day, the Aussies were just following orders the best they could and the Turks were defending their homeland. Both sides respected thatWhen I was in turkey a decade ago, as soon as some Turks realised I wasn't American and was Australian their fucken eyes lit up and stopped being rude. Ive always wondered if it had anything to do with what shared little history we have.
>>747627982You forgot to mention how they ended up in Anatolia because they got BTFO by Chinks so bad they shat their pants and fleed West all the way up to the Byzantines
>>747617987I fucking hate how much gun wobble there is but it's pretty cool playing as Turks and charging with the knife screaming like a madman
>>747628731most of the turkic population is still in asia
>>747617987
>>747617987tannenberg, isonzo and gallipoli should have just been expansions for verdun rather than separate games
>>747630537many are saying this yet the devs would rather have 4 dead games instead of 1 alive game
>>747627351Yeah and look how it turned out for them
>>747624025>ethnically cleansed all Christians out of AnatoliaIt was mutual and mostly bloodless afaik; the turks left greece in exchange.
Reminder that the Turks are 200% right about Kurds
>>747630537if they're smart they would combine all the games into one giant game at some point
