It would, but lets say u was the Romans, then u would need to have better formations and strategies so the Barbarians couldnt tharwt them
And Also, I think the Holy Roman Empire was a little too late in time to get out of the Dark Ages, for that all the knowledge the Romans knew was kept in books, and the Barbarians burned them all (except for the ones bout Religon) so your civilization would have to re-learn all dat ****

Um, no? "The barbarians" didn't burn anything, the problem was that it was all in old Latin and Greek. But Charlemagne updated these and copied them, so as Holy Roman Emperor you would have just the things you're talking about at your disposal.

But then, as far as "re learning" thing, it took Europe 1500 years to return to the Roman level of technology, what makes you think you could do it in four hundred?

Lets say I dont get in a war with Spain, they supply me with things, while I re-pay them with many other things, such as Currency, and I will hire mercenaries here and there to help me fight the "RN" and I wouldnt mass up on ships, but I will still teach them how to fight properly

You know this isn't Civilization we're talking about, this is real life. Diplomacy doesn't consist of "giving people what they want."

Absolutely every assertion here is plain false.

Byzantine Empire, 1071. The Battle of Manzikert shall be a decisive victory instead of an utterly decisive defeat!

Are you aware that at Trafalgar Nelson sunk the combined French and Spanish fleets?

The nature of naval war at the time meant that main engagements were dominated by Ships of the Line. Smaller ships simply couldn't take the kind of punishment to survive in the line of battle, and nor could their lighter guns penitrate the 2 foot of seasoned oak in the hull of a Ship of the Line at anything less than point-blank range which they would be very unlikly to reach. Mercinaries didnt have Ships of the Line, in just the same way they dont have Battleships or Carriers today.

well, what about negotiation?

Troy, 1000 BC (about, I think). I would refuse to let the horse in and hope that I did not end up like Laocoan.

Catch the Horse on Fire lol

[Stolen Rutters]

Der Heilige Romanische Reich des Deutschen Nation.(that's Holy Roman Empire) Unify Europe, pull it out of the Dark Ages, Thwart the barbarian and Muslim invaders, protect the faith and actually set up a line of succession that wouldn't collapse so as to keep Europe out the Dark ages -- sounds like a challenge.

Charlemagne had almost everything you mention under control... except the line of succession.

I would come after Charlemagne and take the Kingdom of the Franks instead of his successors, before the HRE shrank to just des Deutchen Nation. That way I could co-opt his successors, who did break the line of succession, sort of. Well, they were trying to kill eachother and split the kingdom onto three parts, France, German lands of the HRE, and Lombardy.

I didn't say he did it wrong -- I just like the idea of uplifting a society.

After the successful sicelian campaign and the defeat of Sparta we would concentrate of fighting our great enemy , Persia. We will conquer all other city states one by one and then fight against Persians. After victory if i die there won't be several successors but one ruler who will be the one who is elected by Athenian democracy. We will try to Hellenize all Nations so that religions/national identities (that could cause problems) like Christianity or nationalism will never be born or be sufficiently weakened. To be certain my instructions are followed i will write a book named the Art of Athenian Hegemony that will show those instructions. OR

Alternatively i will follow similar strategies before Alexander's death but their is the successor problem.

Like the video I watched, what happens if 9/11 was a inside job created by Bush so he could invade the middle east?
I also read about a guy wit ESP that warned the Pentagon bout dis **** and the pentagon gettin a airplane stuck up its ass, but anyways, they didnt listen to the dude =/

I wouldn't listen to a guy who said he has ESP either.

Id stop the Ottoman decline and conquer Austria! Make Alliance with Russia, capture all of Africa and kick Persia's ass.

Japan, June 1941. Send the Carriers to Vladivostok.

America 1945 after defeat of Japan take the entire world with nukes.

That would never work... Allow me to explain why:

To drop a nuke, you must have control of the air, and if you wanna take the world then your gonna have alot of planes to take out:

-The British
-The Soviets
-The French
-The Germans
-The Remnants of Japan (if they decide to rejoin)

Probably several others too. And if America wanted a huge Aerial War, they would need oil, and Im sure a mixed Russian-British attack could cut you off from the Middle East.

Though, my opinion doesn't equal to much. But I believe to rule the world with nukes is an impossibility... You'll probably just blow the whole world to heck.

America 1945 after defeat of Japan take the entire world with nukes.

The biggest problem with that plan is we really didn't have any more.
