Considering angels are basically personified stars they probably just vomit out CMS/solar flares. Go watch Solar balls on YouTube for visualization.
he's also a god of the hearth if you watched Overly sarcastic productions vid on him
Moe has a point in some interpretations Uther in the legends did raped Igraine without her knowing it was him and not her first husband Gorlois.
In Vietnam the US used a compound called agent orange Wich deforested and killed the local plant life to flush out the Vietcong of course that dint work and as for Afghanistan there military structure was highly decentralized and unconventional so there isn't a real target to decapitate to end the war there and indescrimanly killing both insurgents and civilians will only galvanized the populace against what they perceive as a foreign invader that is trying to kill all of them which isn't wrong at this point and they might start fighting tooth and nail if you say just kill all of them let me remind you that in the 15th century Iberia has a population of over 7 million do you realistically expect for all of the soldiers there to kill that many people for what might take years
Me too at this point the MC is killing anyone who is in the cross hares of his ambitions whether they attacked him first or not. And I would like to see the south Africans win. Time and again history has shown that a technologically superior opponent will not always win. As long as the south Africans stand united together, don't lose the will to fight, use there home field advantage, gorilla tactics, and some luck with native African diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and just for the memes Ebola. After all the Vietnamese did not give up when the US used agent orange to destroy large chunks of land the Afghans did not give up when the Soviets bombed them with missiles. (sigh) But unfortunately the MC will probably still win because of plot armor.
With all this desperate need for saltpeter I'm surprised that the Catholics never bothered to at least try to survey there lands for some who knows there might have been a lucky prospector who could have found some like near the Carpathian mountains there is quite a lot of saltpeter from what I have researched.
Overall a pretty good story I only have 3 gripes here is 1. The lack of stakes when the MC started getting industrial Era tech and the challenge just drops to practically nothing this could have been remedied by having these rare times where the opposing nation narrowly managed to escape from the jaws of defeat and pull a costly win like with Vietnam or Algeria better yet have a rival reincarnator introduced early and to show there rise to become a major player on the same continent for example you could have had a rival reincarnator in Britain or Russia that would have kept a level of both actual competition and tension instead of constantly using the church as a punching bag 2. The supernatural aspects could have been introduced much earlier like the gods and other supernatural creatures there could have been some level of Sci fi explanation like why not make them into energy based beings that feed on energy like how we matter based beings feed on matter and an explanation on why they wanted to be worshiped and acknowledged so much and the idea is the gods and supernatural creatures could have gained there ego from feeding on humans since humans generate energy those energy beings would at some point feed on humans the only energy source at the beginning and abundance would be solar so they would be blank slates until the rise of life on earth and they would have fed on bio energy from humans which would give them an identity and the energy they consume from there followers could effect there minds like how certain types of plants can change a person's behavior and as for an explanation on there powers and magic in general since there energy beings they could be able to manipulate electromagnetism which can influence gravity, strong, and weak forces which are fundamental forces of the universe so they could practically do whatever they want as long as they have the necessary energy and as for the soul and afterlife thing that could be calked up the gods experimenting with time and space using gravity to extract the memory data of the reincarnators and the afterlife that could be the gods keeping the memory data of those they claimed in themselves like how cells store nutrients 3. There needs to be more sympathetic antagonist since having the same old there the bad guy because there against the MC is getting stale
Author I really hope that you give a well thought out explanation as to what makes gods strong or weak. and no I'm not saying im against you protraying God negatively i just want a logical reasoning as to why it is. Hopefully the Gods will be protrayed as morally grey since there not humans and should not abide by human morality. and can you try to make more sympathetic antagonist since its starting to get pretty repetitive and stale having characters be against the MC just because there bad people.
Cutter if your talking about the Aztecs being cannibals you are wrong there culture just venerates self sacrifice which would translate into shedding of blood so they are not cannibals the majority of them usually live in islands where resources are scares for a hunter gatherer society and a growing human population
Your right about that but compared to back then Sweden and the rest of the Nordic countries are better of now that they can focus on the prosperity and happiness of there people first over global influence.
I can understand why Berengar thinks democracy has failed but the problem is that he is using the US as an example. If you do your research the US is a flawed democracy and is not the best example of what democracy could be if you look at the Nordic countries who are true democracies. It is a successful system of government it only needs the right conditions and people in charge for it to succeed.
