How did Rome manage to conquer the known world with a fucking square

The barbarians didn't kill Rome

Rome killed itself like the trannie it was

Because the rest of world only had triangles.

Fighting against a bunch of savage germoids makes things easier

Did you know those things had no suspension whatsoever? Going over a ditch like that would be fucking brutal. Like being inside a shipping container that falls over.

when it stops being true, I guess

picts were basically snow niggers living in wooden huts, the romans were right to build hadrians wall because there was nothing worth assimilating Scotland for

They were good at adapting

>They had the best professional army
They conquered a pretty sizable amount of land before their army became professional

trees existing beats your gay squares strat
Forest savages: 1
Mediterranean nonces: 0
go get ass fvcked by your boy servant, augustus

Actually attrition from supplying the crusades, and the turk invasion ultimately killed the roman empire

their enemies all died of laughter

>square
How many dimensions in OP?

I did know that. Did you know that when the first tank (known as 'Mother') was shown to the king it went down a 20foot embankment, 4 of the men were knocked unconscious and all of the 8 men crew were wounded. The king wasn't told.

>Yea Forums - Television & Film

>where they didn't have a massive numerical advantage
Dude you need to learn the history of Bellisarius. Invented the weak middle tactic that allows a smaller number of men to encircle a larger number of enemies.

I did. Nice to chat, tankbro.

it's more true to say that armies that are well supplied tend to not have massive disadvantages in terms of strategy and tactics
>byzantines
did you not read the part where i said "in a world where the stirrup wasn't invented yet"

Because, in actuality, it was a rectangle. A shape the likes of the world had yet to behold.

They developed great military tactics which probably were inherited from the Spartans and the Greeks. Your single man group going hand to hand combat against a tight formation that is both defensive and offensive at the same time has little odds. Look at football. Same thing on display.

Testudos are a meme

i have gripes with this painting. not only is it not depicting the fall of rome but it has nothing to do with rome at all. no such structures in this scenario had ever existed, the setting is completely fabricated and for the 4chaniggers to mythologise this particular image into their interpretation of history magnifies the ignorance you all share. this is borderline creation myth, relying on symbols and lore to inform you the history of the world which is just a destructive agent as any other. ignorance will not prevail.

Good training and discipline and breaking the warfare meta of their day.
War back then wasn't about slaughtering your enemies it was about forcing them to route.

>Byzantines are the same as actual Ancient Rome
Why do people still peddle this meme? One was Latin and centered in ROME the other was Greek and centered in Constantinople. The Byzantines had so little in common with classical Rome that they could barely even be called Roman larpers after about the 7th century

The western roman empire was dead long before the crusades, which is the death of rome most people are referring to. If you want to talk about the death of any roman empire as a concept you have to go all the way until napoleon obliterates the HRE.

>enemy uses p2w tactics
>rest of the world refuses to adapt
that's how

You know there's a board called /his/ right? It's actually fairly active, you should check it out. Shitposting is pretty regular there as well.

Bellasarius was centuries before the stirrup became common in Europe.

that's not even close to what i said, belisarius had heavy cavalry, he was famous for it

The romans only bothered conquering people capable of civilization. No point in loading over a troop of monkeys

>*charges in and sweeps low, cutting their legs off*
Nothin' personal kid.

It worked until guns got more accurate.

>in a world where the stirrup wasn't invented yet
It's exactly what you said.
The roman republic had cavalry

Britbongs are not civilized people

ok officer user says lines are stupid so we're all gonna run around like scattered retards while their cavalry runs us down

Romans were incredible engineers and often would build fortifications and trenches on the battlefield in rapid fashion. Truth is though if the Carthaginians supported Hannibal more there is a good chance that Rome would have had to capitulate to Carthage because Hannibal ran circles around Roman Generals.

they didn't have cavalry with stirrups lmao why am i even replying to you

>Hannibal ran circles around Roman Generals.

How many times are you going to post this and then get BTFO by anyone with basic knowledge on colonial history??

>act as a fasces
>win fight

Ask Russia about the need for good logistics, they'll give you your answer.

It always makes me laugh that the Huns are portrayed as bow-legged Mongoloids considering Attila was born in what is modern Ukraine

>they lost basically every fight where they didn't have a massive numerical advantage
Didn't Boudica have way, way more troops in the final battle against the Romans yet the Romans prevailed due to professionalism and proper use of terrain?

And what does Attila's only surviving physical description describe him as?

Nine feet tall with two heads and forked reptilian tail. The Jews don't want you to know this

>nine feet tall
so he was a man of renown, interesting.

Roman forces had much more backing from the Senate and their elites. Carthage was constantly in-fighting and didn't support Hannibal to nearly the same degree. To be clear Scipio was a great general but Hannibal mostly was defeated because he ran out of steam and didn't get the support after Cannae that he needed to land a decisive strike.

So if i move to Ireland my kids will beome red haired with blue eyes? Is that how it works?

Being a part of a tank crew was arguably one of the worst positions to have in WWI. Early tanks were still so new that they were essentially still experimental. They were cramped, poorly ventilated, loud, hot and the internal-combustion engines had very little shielding or containment keeping them separate from where the actual tank operators sat. You were basically in a lumbering, high temperature steel box saturated with the fumes of gasoline and oil.
And that was when they worked. The tanks used in WWI broke down so often that they could barely keep them running long enough to make a difference in many battles. More of them got stuck in ditches or had to be taken off the field for months of repairs (by the end of which the war was already over) than were actually destroyed in tank-on-tank combat. Which is just as well, because if it weren't for that the crews would have had to have been let out on the same schedule just to get fresh air and make sure they didn't pass out behind the wheel.

tl;dr there's a reason the REAL prominence of the tank wasn't till WWII.

>the h-huns were chinky because... They just were okay!?

Yes they were Nomads from mongolia, grow up

Neither did Bellasarius faggot.

Source?

One superior general is rarely enough to win an entire war though.

High levels of mobility and coordination combined with efficient equipment and a willingness to adapt. The Romans won lopsided victories in Barbarian Europe in part because they could simply coordinate their forces much better than their opponents. Against peer states like Carthage and Sasanian Persia you see a more even back and forth, and even the Barbarians inflicted devastating defeats on Rome from time to time. Something the fundamentally militaristic Romans keenly understood was that losses are part of war, and they were pretty good at bouncing back from them until very late in the Empire.
