Were you not aware of what the mongols did to Mesopotamia?

Well, good news is- we can get thorium reactors running with this molten salt.
Most of us voted on multiple votes. Just saying.

You mean the pseudo slavery we had been doing?
Because I am tiring that you want to put all our successes at the parts you like while conveniently ignoring everything else.

What would have happened had we went to war with the Khan? Assume worst possible roll.

@Academia Nut You require a threadmark on the latest vote
[X] [Successor] The ancient urban manufactories of the core
All the revival options sound bad, so no vote for that.

Recall what the Mongols did to Afghanistan?

Fuck it.
I'll stay for a few hours to make sure we don't completly run into the ground.
Let other people have to deal with zombie me, this is more impirtant.

Technically the Khan would still maul the outer areas and ask again. But we might have went all war at that point.

God this is depressing, almost enough to make me give up. But not enough, not yet.
Thousands of years of history and effort maimed and almost crippled because some people decided they wanted to willfully ignore context clues and RP as the asshat nobility and not the actual people whose blood sweat and tears made this place. No empire lasts forever sure, but I wanted out death to be glorious, something that burns in history as our crowning moment, the supernova of our star.
This?
This was stupidty and warmongering.
/rant/sorta kinda s.
*sigh*
Land can be retaken, a spirit is far harder to fix. The nobility can eat a dick and die though. Never again, we need a legitimate way to veto stupidity like this from happening.

I Think I will wait until the Next vote and then go to bed
When can I expect it ?
We would have died either Way
Tribute wasn't something the People were willing to pay, trying it would have resulted in a Civil war and Khan wasn't willing to Take any less
I did, didn't think it would spread so fast to the not!mongolians.

This current vote will decide what is saved from the ruin.
If you had picked a fight and got the worst possible result, then the IRL Temujin would have looked on with horror, appalled at what his fictional counterpart was doing.
Far more likely was the Khwarezmia treatment.

And we have WoAN that we were so close to total destruction.
Sigh.

how many crits would we have needed to win this?

That's bullshit and you should feel ashamed. The reason Raider Civilizations don't do infrastructure damage is not that they lack the ability (Humans are remarkably good at destroying stuff). It's that they're faced with a binary choice: grind inward for resources, in which case they don't have the time to properly destroy infrastructure on a large scale, or rely on said infrastructure themselves.
You know this. I know, because this was a discussion back in AoS.
Only going full "try to make friends" would have resulted in an implosion. A partial tribute (the runner up option) was payable without penalty, and would have vastly reduced the resulting damage from the war.
Not!Attila decided to make an example of us when we refused to give him any tribute at all, even though we gave tribute to many lesser chiefs.That's bullshit and you should feel ashamed.
