A Comm for Historymemes

Dudes with boats have been OP for the longest time. From the sea peoples to the Vikings to all of the major European colonial powers to the American Navy. With many more stops in between 😅

The Austronesians even abused this strat way before anyone else realized how strong it was.

Ever since the devs patched in the air power update it's not as bad as before. But still, land mains have been begging for a nerf to naval power for the longest time and the devs don't seem to care at all.

There's a spectacular podcast that covers this part of history:

Fall of Civilizations Podcast - 2. The Bronze Age Collapse - Mediterranean Apocalypse

"No one knows who they were or what they were doing" -Spinal Tap (about someone else)

Oof, if this is what the c people did, imagine if they had run into the a or b people!?

Ahhh, but the meme works best when you consider the inherent fragility of the cardboard. Disease and climate change across the Mediterranean and the Levant are also considered to be huge factors, much more influential than anything particularly unique about the Sea Peoples, who were likely motivated by many of the same pressures anyway.
