Particularly powerful warlord doesn't actually make it certain that it's Genghis Khan or a similar figure. Personally, I feel that people should pay some lip service to that uncertainty.

Why else would AN make particular note of this guy?
I'd rather go back to the Ymaryn roots and be friends. But NOOOOOOOOO, apparently we've gotta die!
 
peopel, china had black powder for ages. That doesn't mean they had guns. The first documented cannons were recorded in the middle east aroun the 13th century. WE ARE NOT YET IN THE !§TH CENTURY!

That's what China did OTL too, and it fucked them over BAD.
Plus a Mythical Martial Khan isn't going to be slowed down by things like "weight" and "allies". Genghis Khan for instance went from a minor nobling to the ruler of Asia.

Error no, "China" at the time is split three ways when Yun (Khan's empire with absorbed Chinese officials) strikes a deal with North Song to conquer Liao (independent polity). Backstabbing occurred when Liao is out of the picture and South Song was formed when entire North was lost. So no, Khan's rise can be attributed to lack of unified China and excellent timing. Not saying Khan's capacity aren't exceptional nor lack of enemy, but the situation helped.

And it is unfair because we have suddenly switched from a system where each voter is equal to one where some voters are worth more than others.

@Academia Nut

I have to agree, abruptly switching to this level of weighted voting is jarring enough that I at least consider it bad game design. A straight GM decision of 'the Ymaryn die to nomands' would have likely caused less bad blood than this since it does not make the thread pseudo-culpable for the act.

    You have made a provocative post that is technically within the rules with no reason being delighting in messing up things for others. That is classic trolling and so I am perfectly happy to state that you are a troll. Which by the way, is the point I am trying to get across. If you don't want to be called a troll, then don't troll.

    By the way, due to Gavoon presenting his reasoning to me in PM, I am retracting all claims of him being a troll.

    do not do this Declaring someone voting they way they want that you do not as a troll is close to asking for points for insults or disruption. As is carrying on for page after page about weighted voting being unfair. You will chill out, or you will take a break from the thread. The gods are on the QM's side, and he likes a peaceful thread.

    I'm not sure what your point is. PoC is not directly tied to reality. We're 1200 years ahead of real world progress and it's just a guideline anyway.

    @Academia Nut can I add conditionals like this? Basically where it means that we try to make friends, but if that falls we attack?

    Alright, those people that approval voted for ignore, now please remove that approval vote. Maybe traditional bribe will win.
