byzantines = overrated

kids these days think that these byzantines, who got buttr@ped from N Africa to Greece and were reduced to nothing but a tributary punk state that even got handled when becoming allies with the Persians were some kind of medieval "super power"

LOL

The Turks owned them for decades even when fighting on multiple fronts and having a "mediocre" infantry

i could see some stupid pale kid get butthurt finding out that the eastern romans were skirt wearing fools that got owned throughout their history

although not as gay as their ancient greek ancestors .. i will give them that

The Byzantium Empire was really just strong during Justinian. That's it.

and miraculously they were "dying weak" during the Futuhat merely a century later after Justinan

lol what a joke

their whole history after that is getting owned by the Turks yet they are a "super duper power" in stainless steel ... especially their generals stats ... they even got owned by the crusaders whom they basically called upon for assistance

fanboys continue to wet themselves over them even trying to make excuses for the Battle of Manzikert which was actually nothing out of the ordinary for them ... if they hadn't begged the rest of europe for help they would've been finished off much earlier ... they got lucky again when the Timurids attacked the Ottomans right when they were about to take Constantinople ...

eatern romans u noob

western roman empire was destroyed by barbarians

eastern roman byzantines were finished off by the Muslims, despite having the whole of christian europe coming to their rescue ... the most embarrassing part is that the famous battle of Manzikert where they lost nearly all of their territory to the Suljuq Turks was actually right after they agreed to peace with them and the Seljuqs were besieging a Fatimid city ... the shemale roman emperor himself led an army to launch a surprise attack upon them but Alp Arsalan found out and crushed his pathetic roman army and made the shemale his prisoner ...

Greek fire

overrated

they used it like ... once
