Bah you uber-religious folks. Why can't y'all let things rest?

You Emperor is a blind fool, and an effeminate transvestite. His Empress is a whore who straddles slaves for a half-copper. Your soldiers are indeed an impressive collection, presuming that this 'training' that you speak of involves accepting the embrace of livestock. Any given Hyakkid could defeat ten times their number when matched against your 'warrior' priests even if they if they trained 14 hours a day. We would add further comments of how this rendered our forces twenty-fold stronger than yours, but we are aware that your confederation or oriental islanders has not yet grasped mathematics beyond what they can count on their own two hands.
There is no prayer but battle.
The sun is but a servant of heaven, his son an illegitimate fraud.
Takarzi reigns in Heaven, and Hyak is his weapon.

And the Unsullied would destroy both of your armies in an even three to one fight.

Because religious war, that's why. Who doesn't like a super massive crusading army of bloodthirsty and fanatical half cannibalistic suicidal spear wielders rushing into enemy lines till mountains of bodies reach the sky?
To give the equivalent of what is about to happen, think like this; if you know what the Tiger Stadium is in the USA, Vahlshallah and it's allies are bringing about two thirds of the capacity of that stadium to bear. Add in Beurtgang troops and Ostavans and Iron Lances, and other Faithful, and you are looking more towards filling the entire stadium up.
I think your armies are perhaps... a tenth of the size of ours? If that much, so what will essentially happen is, you can hold for a long time, and if only a few troops get chucked at you at a time sure, but against a dedicated and massive front, skill won't matter next to numbers.
But have fun, it will be the fight of the millenia!

So far, more religious nations tend to have a stronger military and confidence, while more cosmopolitan societies tend to have stronger economies and culture.
Doesn't break the fact that a more religious, militaristic nation can CONQUER his way to a stronger economy (Buertgang). Nor the fact that a cosmopolitan cultural power can buy allies and influence handfuls of nations at a time (Thloryn).
EDIT: It also doesn't mean that a highly religious nation can't focus on culture and economics (Dakinsa), or a cosmopolitan one on militarism (Gyrid).
Looking to do the easy-ish East Asia section today/tomorrow, and finish Keltia over the weekend.

A dumb religious fanatic leading a pile of cannibals into the spears of a very experienced general. [sarcasm]Your victory is assured![/sarcasm]Because religious war, that's why.

Your spears can be sharp enough to pierce the heavens and make the gods themselves bleed, and you can stand in rank and file as much as you like... but eventually, you will collapse from a sustained assault from the hordes of troops crashing in around you from all directions as they squeeze the life from you.

Cannibalism? We have no time for such frivolities! If one stops to eat the flesh of the conquered, one has precious little time to continue conquering.

POOC Story:
Yet again, the faithful horde climbed the pile of dead faithful to reach their death at the top. The footing was treacherous, and many injured themselves in the climb. This had been happening for ten days, yet the army of faithful still poured upward into the death that awaited them. finally, on the tenth day of fighting, the armies of Armorica broke and ran down the hill. In glee, the armies of the Faithful horde chased down the Armoricans. The Armoricans stayed one step ahead of them throughout the chase. The chase led into a valley and the faithful charged on. Suddenly, the fleeing Armoricans formed line and a sharp whistle was heard on the wind. That is when it all broke loose. The gods themselves had turned on the faithful horde as legions of fresh troops poured into the sides of the charging remnants. The faithful horde broke for the last time on the eleventh day. The Armorican army waited for two weeks, but all news they received about the war was that the faithful had retreated. They then got up and took out Faithful city after Faithful city, none survived under their slaughter.

Which of course assumes that there is no discipline, not to mention that if we focus all of our troops in one area, you have to do so as well or lose that entire section of your army, which will just expedite the destruction of your nation. The extremely disciplined Iron Lances and the Vahlshallahn main army, constituted of tens of thousands of spearmen, will break your back from all directions. Your Daughters of the Trinity will perish in blood and flame that will drown out the Unsullied if need be. And if it comes to be necessary, we will consign your nation to flame, from your easternmost borders and let the flames race to the sea. And there, we shall witness if your belief can prevent you from drowning.

The supposed unmatched skill and prowess of their Unsullied contract-soldiers has not prevented the Armorican infidels from being otherwise incapable on the battlefield. Forward to victory, a wave of blood shall envelope our enemies, and our lances shall gore their cowardly guts. The gods will our triumph!

In the rare event that your army does destroy Armorica, the cost will be too high and your empires will collapse.
