Who had the most powerful army

[madviking]

If these three empires' army went head to head (assuming same # of men), who would win?

 

[Evil Tyrant]

Arnold, he gives new meaning to the phrase "army of one"

 

[Israelite9191]

Ghenghis Khan, given that he managed to conquer the strongest empires using the least technology and the smallest army in the shortest amount of time.

 

[pawpaw]

Khan--because he had a federation starship

 

[Kyriakos]

Since the romans had a hard time defeating the greek empires/kingdoms one by one, it is most probable that they would have lost if faced with just one empire, which would have had probably a massive army.

 

[privatehudson]

Any man who can fire 6000 bullets a film from a machine gun with a belt that looks like it has about 50 in could beat the other 3 hands down

 

[Takhisis]

No matter how powerful or not, a numerically-equipment-training inferior army can defeat a much larger-better equipped/trained army if proper tactics and strategy are applied. Think of Cannae.

 

[Dark Khan]

Great Khan has the most talented army ever.Parthian shot gives Mongols a great advantage against foot soldiers and armoured cavalry.Cavalry couldn't catch them and foot soldiers were useless.Great Khagan of the steppes has the most powerful army ever.

 

[Shaihulud]

The Governator since the Radioactive monkey is not in the poll.

 

[blindside]

Ahnold because he can hold two massive machine gun, which would blow a normal man away with its recoil, in each hand.

 

[marshal zhukov]

The Brazilian Army, the most powerful army in history of man kind.

Seriously, I think it would be the Soviet Army of 1945, the was a superb fighting machine

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Depends on the kind of battle. On the open fields, the Mongols.

Actually the Mongols might just win anyway, weren't they generally better equipped/organised?

 

[storealex]

Mongols would be ahead with more than a thousand years of military devellopment, and would therefore have a huge advantage in most everything, except sieges. And Khan was a good commander.

The Roman army at the time of Caesar, was a superb fighing force, which was able to recover from defeat and learn from it's mistakes. Plus it was ahead of Alexander in tech, which would especially be an advantage during sieges. But Caesar, though he was an able commander, was not as good as Khan or Alexander.

Greece (Macedonians) had the most effective army at it's time, but that dosn't help much when faced against other armies, that were also the best of their time, only much later. I have no doubt that Alexander could have beaten Caesar in a pitched battle though, but the Romans frequently lost battles, only to regroup and learn from their enemies. And win.

Genghis Khan was more than a 1000 years after the Romans and Greeks and had the befit of superior technology (gunpodwer I believe), tactics, and such. If he defeated the Chinese, the mighty Islamic civillizations, Persia etc....I see no reason why the Romans would have fared much better except in the case of their fortifications, dicipline and engineering.

 

[Rambuchan]

My money is on Khan in the fifth. KO, not points.

Although storealex makes a good point, which silver then just repeated.

 

[Panda]

Those three empires don't have the tech to destroy a T-800, so my vote goes to the Governator.

All you need is a big boulder, some catapults, and youre fine.

 

[SoCalian]

don't forget, arnold is the terminator, and made of metal, so I don't thing arrows or swords could really harm him. so my beloved governor would win hads down.

seriously, I think that khan had the best army, just look at what kind of people he had in it. He had guys who learned how to ride and shoot from a horse almost before they could walk. each and everyone of his men was individualy an amazing horseman compared to anyone else in the world(and modern mongolians still are). Technology wouldn't really matter when you have that kind of skill and speed over your enemies. Temujin had mobility, which is such a great advantage over foot armies, that how good the foot soldiers were would not be much of a factor. The only way it could have been interesting, was if he had fought against another army that was like his, but I can't think of anyone off hand.

Temujim fought against similar armies all the time. The Mongols were not the only steppe tribe.

 

[Arachnaphobia]

Arnold, because he had more cheesy one-liners and machine guns than the other three.
