It wasnt Islam that created the middle age arabic culture but it was what united it and gave it new meaning. Why? Because before the islamic revolution, you already had a warrior society with the right conditions, you just needed something to unify it. They lost the Battle of the Hoover Dam, didn't they? And to whom? To the corrupt, decadent traders of the NCR.Ĭlick to expand.That is a fair criticism but the question is that the Khmer Rouge and ISIS were trying to create a new society completely from ideology, there was no basic drive and natural cultural strong pressure in favor of that, any attempt of pushing ideology like that without a natural fertile ground, something real to back that up, will fail, the ideology of ISIS wasnt much different from the early islamic conquest but on that case, they were really successfull while on the case of ISIS, ISIS failed. Sure, they defeat primitive tribes, but when faced with a real foe, they usually shit the bed. And when there are no more foes - than nothing else remains.īesides, due to their limiations, Legion's soldiers aren't even that effective in combat. Under Ceasar there would be no research and development, no scientific breakthroughs, no culture or art (cultural diversity of tribes forming the Legion is crushed).
Legion hates modernity in all forms, including weaponry and medicine - it is described in several places of the lore. They may provide short term security on occupied territories, but those territories also stop developping under the iron rule. The legion is also a militaristic organization that lives in the past, it has its strict ideology and is a shitty nation-builder. Despite their militaristic nature, they both failed, defeated by stronger and more able foes. ISIS tried to recreate a medieval caliphate, Khmer Rouge, while decraling adherence to communism, really strived to form a pre-modern society based on rural communities. It reminds me of ISIS or Khmer Rouge - an organization based on rigid ideology and terror, trying to recreate old forms and breath new life into them.
