sigh you wouldn't believe the good byzantine men I lost marching north through Siberia and east through Afghanistan in EU2 and EU3. Russia is brutal.
The thing is, I don't think that could be replicated in at least CK2, as all you need to do in Paradox games to avoid attrition is to spread your army out into smaller forces in other provinces which ignores hard counters like food, things which in EU result in silliness like large armies staying intact rushing across the Sahara or Amazon instead of collapsing from massive loss of life.
I once rage-quitted an EU4 game that was going great, because the Ottomans somehow charged at my glorious Portuguese Empire's territories, namely a bunch of desert... across miles and miles of Scorched Earth Sahara Desert with a 150k army. They barely felt it. In the early 1500s.
SAHARA DESERT. SCORCHED.
150k men walking across around five scorched earth sahara desert provinces
THE SAHARA FUCKING DESERT!

Achieving success - determined by things such as your skill at seduction, their sexual preference, and whether you get along whatsoever - can net you a new Lover.
I had. Because -75 Wants council Position and "army 75% of liege" is worth losing some pointsNobody ever had bad councilors unless they played in the ass-end of nowhere with a completely dead culture / religion.
Powerful vassals being more important just means they will be more annoying and unreasonable because of Paradox AI/muh MP balancing
So at that time, what you're saying is, naval combat was actual combat, instead of shooting somebody from a mile away.At that time naval combat was galley banging each other. Tribes banged galleys, kingdoms banged galleys, empires banged galleys. Humanity banged galleys fo, like, thousand years with no change.
Arrows can shoot ~450m in ideal conditions and powerful bow and draw. Usually arrow range was about 250m. And galleys even in roman times had row lines and drummer covered and teams trained in extinguishing fire arrows. By medieval times ramming for destruction were no longer used and galleys used some kind of ramming "nose" which was used as a ladder for assault group toget to impaled galley. There were some kind of assault arbalests aka mini-ballistas but they were mostly boarding.So at that time, what you're saying is, naval combat was actual combat, instead of shooting somebody from a mile away.At that time naval combat was galley banging each other.

No such thing historically, comrade.fire arrows
Reminds me of the time I tried to play Russia in For The Glory
- Why is my army dying, we aren't even fighting
Supply Level: 0
And on that subject,
Proofs, comrade? And longbow or otherwise, they'd still get extinguished in no time after the arrow is propelled.As for flaming arrows,well yeah,they weren't used in medieval times because people got dummer in the dark ages because a lot of knowledge and technology was lost after the fall of the roman empire. That shit was frequently used during ancient/classical periods. They were used mainly for sieges and naval battles. Some times they were used in land battle but that was not because they will burn the enemy lol,how dumb you must be to think that it is going to be used for that lol. They were used as a psychologics warfare. Seeing how the enemy could make the sky burn and rain fire down your head,would scare the living shit out of every tribal retard. They were also used for raiding or if the battle is a easily burnable place,like a wheat field. They weren't used in forests and woods lol,good luck trying to burn a living three,that shit is damp as fuck lol.....maybe during a very dry summer.
Also his arguments are all about using a fucking longbow....and he is dumb enough to not know that longbow was englimen's staple and it came to be actively used in 14th century. This video was so fucking cringy and painful to watch comrade.
There is a plenty of old sources about that shit,but i am too lazy to search for them on the internet,here is one interesting read. You shouldn't take the words of westerners that are giving away their land and women while making money from "entertainment". Their civilizations are past the apogee and are in decline,they can't produce anything worth taking seriously.Proofs, comrade?

Then why are they using those bolts? Were they cold?There is a plenty of old sources about that shit,but i am too lazy to search for them on the internet,here is one interesting read.

Slaves were not used as rowers on warships in the classical era. The rowers were free men who fought to defend the ship in case of boarding and in roman imperial time they were enlisted normally in the navy.Why the dude just deleted his post,it was interesting?!
Anyway,about the galley slaves not being protected,it really depended on the ship. Many of them had their slaves on the bottom deck,thus they were pretty protected. Also loosing too much galley slaves could fuck up the shit hard because it relies on manpower to move.
Here is really interesting page about roman ships,it is really nice read!
