• Julius Caeser

    That always introduces 23 plot holes

    But the one who invented the salad, not the Roman one

  • In my fantasy setting there is Colette Rose. A human from Earth who teleported into the setting. She is the Goddess of Rulership. She is one of four humans from Earth who appeared with cults forming around them.

    Any land under her rule would supernaturally prosper as she had the divine right to rule. However she was also an autocrat. Wanting to be an absolute monarch. She centralized power on herself.

    Colette isn’t a general like Julius Caesar was. However she was a populist who was beloved by the people. Often pushing policies meant to ease the poor and working class.

    Her whole cult was based on one core belief. That there is a distinct aristocracy and a distinct working class of peasants. The aristocrats have their positions maintained by the peasants who work the land. It is their job to fulfill the needs of the peasants. In return the working class maintains the positions of the aristocracy.

    There was some conflict with another human. Stacy Steward the Goddess of Entertainment who broke their friendship. That is a whole other topic though.

    Eventually the Empire was afraid she was growing too powerful. A few politicians attempted to arrest her by luring her to a party but it failed due to the intervention of a race of rat like people she protected from extermination. They spirited her out of the Imperial Capital which caused the Twilight War.

    That war would eventually grow as more and more factions entered. Another human and friend from Earth Drake Cohen the God of Conflict would join her side. Eventually he would be the main focus of the allies wrath as the main powers forgot about Colette. They were traumatized by him.

    They would end up losing to the allies and while Colette lost a lot of influence and land. She did walk away much better than her other friend Drake who died and his cult was internationally suppressed. As part of the peace treaty she was forced to also outlaw worshipping of him and hunt down his remaining worshippers. She got off easy in comparison.

    So I guess the biggest differences between her and Julius Caesar was that Colette didn’t enjoy military stuff but was great at statecraft. She also lost a major civil war.

    Whereas the biggest similarities was that both were populist politicians. Both were also popular with the public. Both leaned on autocratic instincts.

  • Define what aspect of Caesar.

  • Malhoric Hew.

    Malhoric was the child of tribal shamaness, and was the founder of the Hew bloodline. The name “Hew” was a title among his people, granted to those men who had proven themselves worthy to lead the tribe in ritual combat. Roughly translated, the word means “strength,” or simply “strong.”

    Thus, Malhoric’s full name would have been Malhoric, the Strong, in his own tongue. Malhoric Hew’s resistance against the dreaded Wolf Clan led many to follow him, believing that he was capable of throwing off the lupine yoke. Fierce were the battles that led to the formation of the Kelkdom of Vershia, and many Yocan fell before the end, but in time Malhoric would ensure that his name went down in history as one of the most respected and revered, with it having became synonymous with strength, honor, and courage.

    He oversaw the early years of Vershia’s freedom from the Wolf Clan, and the first days of the city of Nacoa’s construction. It was his will that the Gods Claw cavetower be built, carved from the core of Mt Otasoor(the mountain from which Nacoa was constructed). The Cavetower later constructed from the mountains heart would serve House Hew as an ancestral seat for generations to come, long after the Great Kelks death.

    He was also the first Kelk in Yocan history to declare the separation of Church from state, ensuring that the religious persecution so common in other parts of the world at that time would not take firm root in his domain. This later led to the establishment of a covert guild comprised mostly of Vezmak: warlocks and witches fleeing from the wrath of the newborn Church of Yoka. The Guild was dispersed shortly after the Great Kelk’s presumed death, by a covert team of Forest Templar’s sent by the Pontiff himself to “Cleanse” the city

    The noble Kelk of Nacoa died, it is said, while combating the remaining Wolf Clan forces still lingering in his domain. Some say, however, that Malhoric Hew went on to rule for some twenty years following the final battle. He would abdicate the throne in his twilight years, giving the crown over to his eldest son before setting off to embark on one last great adventure.

    Many tales surround the Great Kelks end, but none know the actual truth of it, save those who fought by his side, and they too no longer draw life’s breath. What is known is that his body was later discovered and identified by a group of native Tribesmen from the dense jungle Lands far to the north, known as Targol’ja. It was mummified in accordance with their tradition, and was later returned to the Capital by the remaining Black Yoca settlers in the region. Departing out of the flagging colonies in the far north, it took some time for the body to arrive in Nacoa.

    Malhoric hew’s remains were interred beneath the Cavetower he had built, laid to rest in a crypt carved from stone that had been dredged up from the roots of the mountain the city had been hewn from. His crypt was later made separate from the rest of the Royal Tombs, sectioned off and locked away behind a special door that could only be opened with an ancestral key, passed down from father to son. In time, his legend would grow, and his line would become one of the most prosperous in Yocan History.

  • In my setting the closets thing would be the " The king of Horns " the first god to bleed upon the shattered realm

    After a massive cataclysm that , forced multiple realms merged into one the old gods would walk among mankind with the most prominent being the King Of Horns .Most gods kept to themselves or met followers in small numbers , not the King Of Horns .He would directly rule over the first empires that formed after the great shattering .Until he was killed by one of his own acolytes

    The acolyte would become the first person in my setting to slay an old god and would go own to inspire others to attempt the same leading to all the old gods who still roamed the earth to leave to their own realms , creating a schism in the first empire .

    This would lead the empire into where it is in modern time of pseudo military dictatorship born after years of schisms and purges

  • I’d argue In my world it would be Kinrashi(Kin-Rashi) I’m assuming my co writer would agree 😅

    Kinrashi is the latest true daimyo of the Yoshida clan. He is known for his exceptional strategy and martial abilities, even among Yoshida royal’s.

    He has an even more megalomaniac adopted child (Arashi Yoshida=Octavianus) who is arguably just as gifted, or more gifted than he himself. And biological son (Kenshiro kinda =brutus) who betrayed him out of fear of his tyranny and ruthlessness.

    And unlike caeser he does crown himself emperor, and fights one of the largest wars in the known world against the Yamaoka village and its inhabitants. Leading the largest territorial expansions and largest battles fought in the clans history.

  • Probably Alirien. She isn’t a 1:1 Roman general, but she fills the same historical role: the figure who ends an old order and makes a new one inevitable whether she intended to or not.

    Alirien rises during the collapse of Sidhael (elven) overlordship in Elathia, initiated by the Redic revolts against their overlords. She’s a Rede-born slave-turned military leader and political broker who commands mixed forces (humans, elves, others), dismantles entrenched systems like elven domination and slavery, and forges new compacts between peoples. In doing so, she saves the world from stagnation but also destabilizes it permanently.

    Like Caesar “saving” the Roman Republic by making it obsolete, Alirien liberates regions and peoples while destroying the old balance of power. What follows is Angol dominance and later imperial consolidation. Auratheists frame her as a proto-saint, elven poets as a tragic breaker of cosmic order, Redic traditions as a liberator who refused to rule. Scholars argue how much of her divinity was constructed after the fact with the differing viewpoints being subject to bias and interpretation. In-universe historians even talk about an “Alirienic Moment” which is the point where charismatic and/or “righteous” authority eclipsed inherited legitimacy and history permanently accelerates.

  • Ah man you heard this guy before? He’s called Julius Caesar!

  • He hasn’t happened yet! The ‘senate’ while still functional has been teetering on dissolution and irrelevance for a generation. The armed forces, and a few (competing) generals have grown more independent. The rise of a Caesar out of a civil war may happen, unless the players can steer the empire back to democracy.

  • Prince Syrion Balestraedir Quartermaster and General in the Purification Army, who organised the Vaynari Elven army and economy. He was the first one to employ non-elves outside of logistics and took great pains to assuage the concerns of the local elites, a method which the rest of the Pruification Army would adopt. Him and his network the 'logistican's clique' developed the theory and later executed the total mobilisation of Vaynari society and organised her new armies. The Celestine Empress used his suggestion at the battle on the Mexchon which finally broke the Crimson Ascendency and secured a victory after 20 years of warfare and casulties the Vaynari hadn't suffered in living memory.

    But it's more after this he becomes a Caesar-esque figure. He becomes one of the numerous Elven Military-Govenor send to administer occupied land which formerly belonged to the Ascendency, he was the first nobel to marry a human noble and trained humans into a vast legion of auxiliaries. Imperial law dictates only how many Vaynari one may have under arms, not humans. So he used the 'Syrionnic' legions to expand his influence, coquering land appointing loyalists to govern on his behalf.

    By the 2480s the Empire was split in two between the core historic Vaynari lands ruled by the old aristocracy and the colonial terroties ruled by powerful warlords, mostly from lower nobility, largly united under Syrion. They were served by a generation of half-elves and legions of humans. Between these two factions there is the Celestine Empress, who has a foot in both camps with some of the old nobility and some warlords as her loyalists. Her great advantage is the complete support of the clergy who have begun to view the Silver Throne in greater theological significance, a sort of proto divine-right mindest.

  • How is he both honorable and a warmonger? Isn't the term, by definition, one who makes war without needing it?

  • Ok, you know what, I'm going to add someone like him to my world!

  • Numitor is a bit of a mix of Caesar and Romulus. He founded the city of Numitia 40,000 years ago, but it got renamed to Zhongjing at some point and now “Numitia” refers to an empire and their word for emperor is Numitor Novus.

  • So, this is the lore of a custom empire I made for a Stellaris game. Not a different version of Julius Caesar, but an alternate history of his successors.

    The main difference is that Augustus actually did restore the Republic. He stabilized the economy,got all the civil wars wrapped up, beat the crap out of Parthia, and got rid of a ton of senatorial corruption with his reforms. But then he pulled a Cincinnatus and willingly gave up power. This started a tradition of powerful dictators rising to deal with dangerous crises, and then retiring. Somehow, this tradition stuck, and it kept Rome not just functional, but slowly expanding for the next 2200 years. By the time the game starts, there have been a half-dozen or so such crises. The most recent one involved a war between Rome, whose hegemonic alliance covers most of the planet, and the last several independent states trying to resist Rome's influence. The war should have been a one-sided beat-down, but several important politicians in Rome's alliance betrayed Rome, giving the resisting alliance a fighting chance and throwing Roman politics into chaos. When a new dictatrix, a descendant of the legendary Augustus, rises, she uses some newly invented technology to end the fighting, using a carrot-and-stick style of persuasion. The technology in question is the hyperdrive. By promising lands on alien worlds to independent nations in exchange for full Roman hegemony of the planet, and also using the hyperdrive to bombard her enemies from orbit, she got the war to end with Roman hegemony over the Earth and the first research vessel being sent to another system. But Roman politics are still in disarray, and she still has to fulfill those promises, or the hegemony will rip itself apart. So she's not ready to simply retire yet.

  • Egeron, smallest of the Trident Brothers. He was the general lf the largest army ever in Yur and the best governor of the three brothers. The territories under his control are now the most modern and advanced of all, and it is not a coincidence. He tried to develop the economy and society in the best way possible. But, when the three brother started their last campaign trying to conquer the Broken Continent, they died. For the gods had chosen they were too powerfull for being mere humans and the tales of thousands of years ago wouldnt be repeated again and no God Slayer would appear again in Yur

  • Victor Tiberius was a highly successful general who did much to expand the Truscan Republic beyond its traditional western frontier. The analogy to Caeser is particularly obvious in light of how he had a thriving political career prior to this military campaign, then returned to seize absolute power from a corrupt gang of elderly Senators. Though he did not live long after becoming the first Truscan Emperor, this was the result of a personal battle with a legendary cyclops rather than a political assassination. Though he planned many grand reforms and made a start of writing books on philosophy, any of these works to see completion would depend on his successors. Even so, an extract from his war diaries entitled The 99 Maxims of Victor Tiberius remains one of the world's most popular non-religious texts more than a thousand years after those diaries were first written.

  • One of the last emperors of the Archons may inadvertently fit this description.

    At his apex, he defeated the Fomora and even won a Civil War (like Caesar did) while bringing peace to the Archonian Empire.

    Nevertheless, he was so full of himself that he walked blindly into his own coup, after attempting to rewrite imperial law to prevent his dynasty from ever being usurped.

    This is, of course, a cautionary tale. All the talent in the world doesn't make you invincible; in fact, those of us who would place ourselves over others are often not fit to lead.

  • The sky king but the person behind him is the Dolly of the sky

  • You mean the "fuck your senate, we're a dictatorship now" part? Or "oh woe I'll never be Alexander" part? Or the "No you ask for two million I am fucking Julius Caesar" part? Or the "get shanked 47 times" part?

  • Gerrend (Gerrelend) the golden, except he led tribes against dragons, not people, and he died at the end if his journey to a dragon he slayed in turn, not by a council - though if he had survived it was definitely gonna head that route, as everyone fought for claims and power now free of dragon rule

  • I think that that would be... Gaius Julius Caeser.

  • One of my main villans, the high chancellor is very cesarean in a way. He is a powerful general who aims to fight for the people of his home country of Laprika, and is relived by the people too. Aka the first time we see him, he and his troops at Winn a battle with a barbarian tribe. Eventually he is succeeded by his adopted son just like ceases. I also view him and a Brutus like figure because he wants to preserve his country’s democracy. But he was also inspired by other historical figures.

  • Uhh.... Julius Caesar?

    EuroCorp Industries shares part of history from 1917 to 2020 with our world and full history from 1917 before (except the occasional temporal anomaly)

    If you mean badass roman that conquered stuff, the protagonist Aegis suits that role
