| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I think you're right in that the West's development sped up considerably while the East has started to slow down. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | im guessing djs means europe vs asia, from time of first established european culture (greeks?) to the point when europe emerged from the dark ages and science, literature, and art flourished (1400s to 1600 AD.) good luck.

| Banned ![]() | I'll make the start. I believe than the western europeans have been the strongest military power since the time of ancient greeks. Some examples include nicopolis where even outnumbered and seperated from the hungarian army, the french knights were able to break all turkish lines but the last. The turkish composite recurve bow that was supposed to shoot over 500 yards proved totally unable to stop the french calvary charges even after it has been weakened after many fights. This shows that the longbows are much more capable. Siege of vienna-a 325000 ottoman force got defeated by 27000 european troops. the legendary janissaries got again and again defeated by the european arquebusiers and pikemen. |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | It doesnt matter if they developed their weapons and tactics or not, all that matters is that the Mongolian military was better prepared to win the war. |

From there it's very likely they would have invaded Britian and conquered that country too and also spread right down into the Iberian peninsula. | |||
