    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    Back in the real world: Russians beginning the first cauldron now that the fight for the heights of Popansa is done. If Ukraine makes a stand or not is irrelevant at this point, Lysychansk/Severodonetsk will fall. Let this be a lesson kids, don't go for Twitter Victories over an Island of...

    All of Europe west of the Byzantine Empire gets moved from 1095 AD to 635 AD by Alien Space Bats

    So Al-Andalus is also moved. William II of England is nearing his time and would likely hard pass. Spanish Lords are a little busy at the moment fighting and losing to Yusuf. Others have a bunch of petty squabbles with each other. The other issue is the Byzantine Empire won't know who these...

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    Yes and no. Goblin Slayer is basically a giant fuck you to Truth and Illusion as he is outside their ability to roll the dice on. And the Goblins survive on their own merits as well, all it takes is one breeding age goblin to grab one girl and in a week, he will have 10 to 20 offspring if not...

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    Goblins have three main paths: Shaman route where they practice magic and coordinate resources. Goblin Slayer makes sure to take them out first the moment he sees a totem at a nest. Lord route where they develop brains, cunning, and strategies to lead armies and learn from their mistakes. Why...

    Augustus adopts Arminius as a son and names him heir after the Illyrian Revolt, 9CE

    And you just proved my point, Caesar had more organized swords and more ruthlessness. At this point you do protest too much. Assuming they could all agree and not use this as a pretext to push their own agendas. Especially as Tiberius' early reign had several legions revolting. If by kicking...

    Augustus adopts Arminius as a son and names him heir after the Illyrian Revolt, 9CE

    Cease quoting the law, we have swords. No really, it is that simple. The Julio-Claudians gained power by the sword and maintained it by the sword as did anyone else who wanted the throne. He who could bring more organized swords to the fight and is ruthless enough wins. The only way he doesn't...

    Augustus adopts Arminius as a son and names him heir after the Illyrian Revolt, 9CE

    Livia poisoning or arranging for an assassination of Arminius is unlikely and the politicking of the Roman Elite over Augustus' decision would shove her aside. No one will give a shit what she has to say and may irrationally blame her for Augustus' decision to adopt Arminius and name him heir...

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    Only when at a starting phase. As they survive and age, they get smarter and more crafty, to taking over abandoned forts, crafting weapons, etc. Like I said, one even became a Paladin and enforced discipline to such a degree, Goblin Slayer had to cause an avalanche to end the threat and was...

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    Read the Manga and Light Novels, there is a reason they are truly too dangerous to ignore and need to be exterminated stat.

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    Depends on how the Old Copper Culture reacts. If they completely fall apart, selection pressure will cause the Goblins to better care for their breeding stock to extend their longevity at first and as that starts to fail, then they will farm humans. However, if the Copper Culture catches wind...

    Augustus adopts Arminius as a son and names him heir after the Illyrian Revolt, 9CE

    As the tin says. Augustus doesn't explain the reasoning and nobody wants to fuck with him over it, at least until he croaks. Arminius is brought to Rome where Augustus explains to him why Rome got to where it was and his hopes that Arminius can bring Germania into the fold of Rome just as his...

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    Depends on the Goblin in question, the resources available to them, what they survive, and what they see. Goblins on the Green Moon for example have a complex industrial society though not much is seen of it as Goblin Slayer wisely sealed off that portal after a quick look in the written/drawn...

    The Hobgoblin with captive Spearwoman (Goblin Slayer) is dumped in the U.P. 4000 BCE

    As the tin says, they are set right where Hancock Michigan would be. They are 3 days travel from the nearest Old Copper Culture settlement. Spearwoman will be giving birth in 3 days to another brood of goblins and ironically her determination to not give in just ensures Hobgoblin keeps her...

    ROB has commisioned you with a grand and noble task, destroy the EU.

    Could I spread around the Goblins from Goblin Slayer? The effort of fighting them would bankrupt the EU and cause mass friction. Sure they die easily, but with its disarmed population and the goblins' craftiness and labryrinthine sewers, etc of Europe, eradicating them would be a quite straining...

    Gate opens up on the World of Gaia. (Escaflowne)

    Yes and no. Zaibach was a big outlier and only one other nation had firepower to match and even they considered it a big deal to just use it as it hurt them as much as it did Zaibach. Also there are a lot of mercenaries running around with Guymelefs who won't say boo if the Empire offers pay...
