The scale of Caesar's military engineering continually amazes me.

A small, impoverished, Dark Ages petty feifdom?--sure. But with a strong, powerful human empire? In the time of Rome, as can be seen with hundreds of thousands--even MILLIONS of Celts, all ferocious, and highly intelligent humans--the Goblins, like the Celts, would have been either exterminated utterly, or ruthlessly conquered and broken to the yoke of slavery to the empire.In the time of Rome, there was no other fate to be had, and Caesar and the endless march of the legions proved that fact.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Poor little Goblins...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
