The Persian Kings didn't really "own" large swaths of the Empire since the Satraps had a great deal of autonomy.
"Wealthiest person of all time" is an interesting question.
Has to be either one of the Achaemenid Emperors or Alexander, right? The Persians controlled the Nile, Indus, Tigris, Euphrates, Oxus, the Levant, Anatolia.

Augustus has to be up there since he actually legally owned Egypt. On top of his already immense fortune.

They HATED this but it's true. He didn't gaf about Poland other than the manpower it could provide, he used them.

I've never understood the Polish love for Napoleon. He used them as cannon fodder in his wars across Europe and the Duchy of Warsaw was a glorified French Colony.

Or that people have different opinions on things than you. I personally find it kind of exhausting to watch through the whole thing.

Wehraboos are basically dead. Even the blatant Nazis nowadays don't really care about the military history that much.

He's better when he's not a protag. And he's also a mirror to Yuya as it is.

Unironically, yeah. Them being bankrupt actually forced them to think outside of the box and get creative. And it worked. Now they know their games will sell no matter the quality.

Real Atlus fan wish bankruptcy to Atlus

Yeah, It means that Caro isn't really that great of an LBJ biographer.
Jun 11
That jaw-dropping moment when, two volumes into Robert Caroโs biography of LBJ, he finally gets around to describing what Lady Bird was like and the nature of her marriage to Lyndon Johnson

My newest article Go Quietly or Else: The Failed Resurrection of Spiro Agnew. How Richard Nixon's first Vice President memoirs attempted to vindicate his reputation forced him into irrelevance.

I hate to pull this but people who think it's genuinely a great show are letting the nostalgia do the talking. The average episode and arc are pretty mid.
TCW is definitely a tale of untold potential. Like, the whole stuff with Satine and New Mandalorians got completely abandoned and Death Watch is GOOD now because Darth Maul bought his darksaber at the darth mall and that's BAD because he's RED

Parmenion was sent on an expedition against Persia only a couple years before Alexander invaded Persia, and was defeated despite the "advanced war machine."
Jun 11
Great point too. And Alexander also inherited Philipโs insanely advanced Macedonian war machine: elite generals, veteran soldiers, money, logistics, and men who had already been drilled into being ahead of the curve.
But those are the unsexy details no one wants to think of.

The Persians were caught off guard in this expedition and Greek Anatolians were sympathetic to the Macedonian forces. But Memnon was still able to defeat Parmenion.
