xD I could do with the concubine w/o the tin nor the game tho xD
Ancient China conquering Rome and vice versa is stretching it, but only slightly less crazy things have happened. Somewhat later than EB's timeframe we have the Tang empire with protectorates as far as Tocharistan, held mainly by vassalised nomads but AFAIK also with a regular Chinese military presence, a small one, but still. Not that this 'western empire' could ever have survived (and it looks absolutely terrible on a map), but the immense authority of the early Tang emperors helped hold it together for some time.
I would love to see something like that in a Total War game/mod - although obviously the RTW/MTW2 engines would not be capable of handling anything like that.
A big THANKS to all Total War modders
Heed the wisdom in Omanes Alexandropolites' signature!
I reccomend reasing 1421 by Gavin Menzies. If nothing else makes you scream 'I WANT A BLOODY CONCUBINE' Nothing will. A word of note though. The Red silk bra-stocking combo, which he claims is called the mo xiong isn't called that. Any help?
Sorry about that. It's also a bit outside our period (Ming Dynasty), but it's all good (VERY good in the case of the Concubines) Dammit, someone shoot me.
Seriously though, what was the mo xiong REALLY called (and yes, I kow Mo Xiong was a Chinese Communist)?
