Fucking hell, I'm dropping this. The author is an idiot who doesn't know his history and is once again implementing the tired old bullshit of "ancient people are stupid, so tech makes me god".

@givemersspls Sanitation is super important for militaries, especially in a historical context. Until fairly recently deaths through disease and general poor conditions for a army on the move out weighed battlefield losses massively(depending on the occasion 10:1 or even 100:1). Cholera, which stems from fecal matter getting into food and water, was an especially brutal killer and proper sanitation is pretty much the only way to avoid it. Without sanitation amassing large armies is very difficult and an army with with good sanitation would have a large advantage in sieges, both in defense and offense. BTW, sieges made up 90% of all engagements in many eras.

Introducing new technology is pretty much impossible without it having a military effect. Technologies that have a marginal effect on the military strength of a nation would also have to have an overall marginal effect on the society at large.

Isekai is a wish fulfillment genre, of course the absolutely retarded ideas the author comes up with will always work. MC could come up with a strategy of "just make everyone an archer so they don't risk dying in melee :)" and it would work because he said so.

@givemersspls I don't remember who said it, but a wise man once said: "Whenever a new piece of knowledge is acquired by society, the first technologies developed from it, fall within the military use, the medical science, and the adult industry. Not necessarily in that order".

@givemersspls just to get this out of he way so read at ur own risk
their will be a civil war and Almus will unify the country with his reforms after he ascends
but I don’t know why your making his reforms to be a bad thing. Not all countries that enter civil wars are forever weak and left helpless. Japan is a good example where after their civil war they went on an imperial expansion so I don’t know wats qualms you have with his approach. The current situation is untenable as the noble lords have to much control of not only military but even foreign affairs to an extent. In the modern era their are hardly any countries without some form of centralization even if provinces or counties are managed by local governments. Not having a central government is just to messy.

@ninjadork wat nonsense are you spouting? Author doesn’t kno history? So tell me this why were the Europeans able to sweep thru Africa and the Americas? With ur logic it definitely couldn’t be technology right? Why did US and USSR have complete hegemony during the Cold War? It cudnt be because both sides had the ability to destroy the world ten times over wit nukes right? Lol go back to your romcoms lol😂
