Vae Victis

Day 629, 12:33 • Published in Serbia Hungary • by montaigne

I believe as of today the war is technically over.
Peace has more resources, more experience points, bigger damage power, more fighers, more gold, better leaders and makes less mistakes. That's it.

As in the last days of second World War, you could still hear some sniper shoots from the bushes and you can find some deserted units on uninhabited islands, who would never give up, but that would still not change the whole picture radically.

It is over.
Amen.
Rest in peace.
Nyugodjék békében.
Odihneasca-se in pace.
Pocivaj u miru.

The supreme commanders should sit down in eVersailles and forge the conditions of civilesed surrender (or why not a cease-fire), otherwise in 2 weeks we will have a situation when:

1. USA + Canada wiped off the map, divided between invaders.
2. Spain devastated and occupied by Portugal, Brasil and France
3. Poland occupied by Russia
4. Romania occupied by Hungary and Ukraine
5. Croatia and Bosnia occupied by Serbia
6. Greece occupied by Turkey
7. Neutral countries like Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Denmark plus Scandinavia maybe would escape since nobody wants to occupy them.

And then what?

If we still want to play this game, instead of total destruction we have to step back and let our opponents stand up. Like in the Boxing: our enemy is KO. Step back and count till 10.

Vae victis (IPA /wai wiktiːs/) is Latin for "Woe to the vanquished (ones)" or also "Woe to the conquered (ones)". (This is the plural form - the singular is Vae victo if the conquered is masculine, Vae victae if the conquered is feminine).

In 387 BC, an army of Gauls led by Brennus attacked Rome, capturing all of the city except for the Capitoline Hill, which was successfully held against them. Brennus besieged the hill, and finally the Romans asked to ransom their city. Brennus demanded 1,000 pounds (327 kg) of gold, and the Romans agreed to his terms.

Livy, in Ab Urbe Condita (Book 5 Sections 34-49)[1], records that the Gauls provided Steelyard balances and weights, and the Romans brought out their gold. But the Romans noticed that the weights were fixed, and the tribunes dared to complain to Brennus about the issue. Brennus took his sword, threw it on to the weights, and exclaime😛 "Vae victis!", for the conquered have no rights, forcing the Romans to bring even more gold to fulfill their obligation.
