150 AD Rome-China War Character RP

[Alleniana]

Several strong emperors, because in a single battle stuff changes. e.g., Battle of Britain. A single battle. It could've lost or won WW2 resulting in a possible Nazi Europe, even Nazi controlled massive empire. A single battle. In this, the Roman army got lucky, smashed the German faces in and went on with their business.

still.... The emperor wouldn't have changed the generals. the generals were the ones that actually did the fighting not the Emperor.

Yeah...I didn't say he did. Luck is often very influential in battles, if Napoleon had acted a few hours earlier at Waterloo, he would've likely won. There are asteroids where a couple of metres difference is the difference between striking New York city and whizzing past the moon. The Romans got lucky and the Germans got screwed over.

what a better motivator to a unification than a sound beating?

oh and historically, the Macromani made a confederation of german tribes, invaded Dacia, and it took Rome over 20 years to beat them.

My point.

My point.

That's a long time for a war to be going on... even in those times.

edit: I don't expect them to be successful. just to cause a distraction that could affect the Chinese war.

[Alleniana]

Yes, but my point is that the Romans will win. The only reason they were destroyed was the decline of purity, administration, strictness, culture, etc.

I didn't say that.. but who's to say that this war wouldn't hasten the end. its a huge distraction that devastates the economy of both nations. without the silk road, the economy of Rome is much worse, due to the fact that Rome has almost no one who will trade with them!

[Alleniana]

:p

What? The Silk road went from China to Parthia, then from Parthia to Rome. Not from China to Rome.

Everybody else! Besides, the Roman Empire is self sufficient. They no longer trade with Parthians, they now trade with all the people the Parthians used to trade with except China. They also trade with many Africans in this scenario.

"Problem with that is that most of the other groups would hate Rome.... maybe not the africans and indians...

whatever its your rp.

Why would they hate the Romans?

.... fighting. Romans fought nearly anyone they bordered unless they surrendered first.

[Alleniana]

.... fighting. Romans fought nearly anyone they bordered unless they surrendered first.

But the Romans are busy fighting the Chinese, and I haven't seen any posts about them fighting, so I'll assume that they're ok with Rome.

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

The Germans aren't very strong, like half their land is Roman so they have less than half of their traditional strength (The Romans whooped them to push this far)

I WILL DESTROY PUNY GERMAN WITH THE USE OF MY OWN LIFE AND 10,000 MEN!
