Why Suleiman but no Mehmet?

>>344695
Swtich Napoleon and Alexander, and add Cyrus to high tier and we good mane.
>>
>>344695
napoleon is over rated.
if he was good why was he defeated?

Alexander should be in God tier considering how huge of an impact the Hellenistic kingdoms had

Well meme'd, my ching chong friend
>>
Surely some Rashidun or early Ummayaad should be on the list.
>>
>>344736
Atilla is a bit overrated, he shouldn't be on the level of god tier, given that Genghis for example defeated way stronger opponents.
>>344752
Mehmet barely did anything
>muh constantinopole
And lightly knocked out a few crumbling balkan kingdoms
>>
>Atilla
Glorified highwayman, never conquered anything, lost the only major battle, didn't created stable state. Literally all he did was raiding.
>Hannibal
Haven't conquered anything, Spain was his father/step-brother thing.

And you forgot:
Khalid ibn al-Walid
Belisarius
Scipio Africanus

Brasidas for being the Lad of the war

They would be reasonable enough not to start the war. It's not like Seventh coalition invaded Elba or something.
>>
>>344780
>Scipio Africanus
>Belisarius
>Scipio Africanus
They are strategicians/generals, not actual conquerors.

See: Subutai, Genghis' general.
>>
>>344818
Belisarius managed to take back chunks of Italy.
>>
>Atilla
>conqueror

People need to differentiate between a great conqueror and a great general
winning battles isn't everything
>>
>>344712
>conqueror list
>barely conquered a bunch of Iberians, raided Italy, retained nothing

He is not like Napoleon, who won most of the wars. He was literally defeated in the first war by a better general.
>>
>>344818
Well, yes, but I can't call Justinian "conqueror". And again, Hannibal has no place in the list, he was just a general of Carthage republic.
>>
>>344818
What is your definition of conqueror? Because both of them conquered a lot.
>>
No Timour or Belisarius? Da fug, mang.
>>
>>344849
Tamerlane is "Timour"
>>
>>344838
>>344849
Why not consider Justinian the conqueror, just like many other names on the list had great generals.

The conqueror oversees entire war victories and incorporates land into his rule.

>>344893

why are you posting an image of vladimir putin and not simon bolivar?
>>
>>344926
The native empires were really weak, and Spaniards used mostly political maneuver and careful timing.
They did conquer but it's not on that level.
>>
>>344937
I don't have any pics of Simon Bolivar.

>>
>Charlemagne
>Bottom-tier
Napoleon himself said he was the successor of Charlemagne. He even asked to be announced to the pope as Charlemagne.
>>
>>344872
Because pretty much everyone in the list leaded armies, but Justinian didn't? And he has no excuse, there's plenty of east roman warrior kings and most of his rivals commanded their own armies. Justinian was homo as fuck t.b.h.
>>
>>346568
this, Charlemagne should be higher.
>>
>>344769
>how huge of an impact the Hellenistic kingdoms had
Which had zero to do with his own intentions or ambitions.
>>
>>346583
I don't think any other ruler can tell he rekt saxons with an albino elephant.

How do you even breathe

>conquer but it's not on that level.
Nigger one of the largest continents in the world speaks their language and follows their religion to this day.
>>
>>346582
It was customary for Eastern Roman Emperors not to lead armies in person pretty much from the death of Valens right until the reign of Heraclius, and it resulted in two centuries of relatively (by Roman standards) stable succession.

He'd already been defeated by then, the shitty odds where his own fault. Also still nothing compared to Alexander's feats.

Whenever we talk about anything, you fuckers always forget Sulla.

Nomination candidates:

Hernan Cortes for High Tier

Peter the Great for Good tier

Justinian I for Bottom Tier and Basil II for Good Tier.
>>
>>344889
>he stayed in Constantinople fucking Theodora
Boy's got his priorities straight. Among other things.
>>
Caesar conquered Rome
Subutai conquered most of the Mongol's land too, more than any one man in history, not Temujin
>>
>>348986
Peter got his ass handed to him by the Turks, and only managed to defeat Sweden with the help of the Commonwealth and Saxony
>>
>>344799
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pharsalus
Would have wrecked them m8.
>>
>>344695
Throw Abu-Bakr or Khalid into high tier, potentially god tier but fuck them for ruining so many good countries.
>>
What about Qin shi huangdi? He is at least bottom tier.
>>
>>344695

>>
>>350131

>>
>>349126
Yeah Peter didn't achieve much more than setting the state for Catherine
