So /his/, how accurate and reliable is the story Our Lady of Fatima?
For those who don't know the story:
>3 kids in 1917 see the apparition of the Virgin Mary
>Told to pray there for some months
>Eventually the apparition causes the sun to dance in front of 30,000-100,000 people
At a guess, extremely unreliable.
>a miracle happened to ME, I'm so special

It's a muzzie name so it's probably wrong

About Medieval period games:
Were weapons-based meme divisions a real thing? I mean beyond archers/infantry/cavalry. I mean in medieval II total war has divisions like "spearmen," who all have spears, and then "halberdiers" who all had halberds, then "swordsmen" like sword bearing infantry, and "macemen" or some shit.
Pikemen, archers, and crossbowmen were a thing I know, but what about the rest.
Lets limit this shit to 900's-1400's.

Do you really need to ask this fucking question?
>>804894
Medieval 2 isn't very reflective of actual history the Normans in England don't even have access to Norman knights. Most of the one weapon only units comes from the problem of who wins in rock paper scissors and how to implement that using shit computers. Total War sacrifices historical accuracy for game play and balance that's why the HRE is such shit there is a limit to what they could do. I hope to see as computers improve bigger and better games I really want Agincourt with historical numbers and units
If we're talking about non-noble soldiers then a lord would generally supply their own retinue's arms and armor and then march off to convene with the rest of the army by a certain time frame. This resulted in low standardization across the entire army as a whole but across the lord's retinue you may have something like, say, 20 archers, 30 spear men, 10 men at arms etc all equipped in a varied and good fashion; so a reasonably standardized mix of 'sub-units' among the lord's retinue.
These small sub units were usually cobbled together into...

Have Richard Dawkins invented or discovered atheism?
He interacted with several religions and supernatural beliefs, and rejected them all, because of both general and particular criticisms.

I am tired of hearing people say this.
That is exactly what Germany TRIED to do.
They couldn't extend deep into Russia because it was a logistical nightmare. They couldn't get enough fuel and ammunition and personal supplies to continue the blitzkrieg. They would have to attack, wait for resupply, attack, wait for resupply, etc. The majority of Russian land is wilderness hardly worth capturing, and the Soviets destroyed everything worth taking as they retreated. The Russian rails were too wide...

Was Alfred really that great of a king? Did he deserve his title?
He defeated the Vikings and started the unification of England, not too shabby.
Alfred’s lack of a saintly epithet, a disadvantage in the Middle Ages, was the salvation of his reputation in a post-Reformation world. As a pious king with an interest in promoting the use of English, Alfred was an ideal figurehead for the emerging English Protestant church. The works he had commissioned or translated were interpreted as evidence for the pure Anglo-Saxon church, before it had become tainted by the false Romanism introduced by the Normans.

Does a disgruntled breakup of a former alliance generally lead to war based on historical evidence?
What if those results were extrapolated and applied to the breakup of the Eurozone if it were to happen?

How old is the concept of what we today call "race"?
Was race an important issue to ancient civilizations like Egypt or Rome? If it was not important, when did it become so important? Has it been a gradual build or has the idea gone in and out of use?
No pol shit please.

Both politically and hereditarily.
Orleanists were basically "muh bourgeoisie enlightenment monarchy" while Bourbons were "muh traditionalist medieval divine right of kings"

Knew it was a bad idea to ask this in a pinko shithole. Stopped reading at "bourgeoise".

You know "Bourgeois" is a historical term that exists outside of Marxism right? It's not a negative word, it literally just describes the middle class.
Wilhelm developed a penchant for archaeology while residing at the Corfu Achilleion, excavating at the site of the Temple of Artemis in Corfu, a passion he retained in his exile. He had bought the former Greek residence of Empress Elisabeth after her murder in 1898. He also sketched plans for grand buildings and battleships when he was bored. In exile, one of Wilhelm's greatest passions was hunting, and he bagged thousands of animals, both beast and bird. Much of his time was spent chopping wood and thousands of trees were chopped down during his stay at Doorn.[63]

The church is getting more and more proggresivist. How long until we see the first atheist Pope?
this is the first progressive pope in a long time.
Last two before him were pretty conservative
Asshurt American conservative detected.
The Church doesn't play by your rules. The Church is beyond your petty left-right squabbles, since it predates the very idea of 'left' and 'right.' The Church was ancient before 'conservatism' was even a dream in a stuffy English Whig's eye.
Don't dictate to the Bride of Christ what 'progressive' and 'conservative' are, and how it should approach modern politics.
Dude he believes in satanic possession. In an interview in Argentina he told how he met a lesbian couple on a plane and one of them spoke to him in a satanic growl.
