And that's done...

the mongolians never reached the great wall

You got it wrong, all houses have the same goal - dominance and after that rename themselves to "Star League", we all know they dont achieve it

Actually, it's called the Greater Kuritan Prosperity Sphere, and we're coming for the overdue rent.

Uh, the Mongols bypassed the great wall and conquered China. Ghengis Khan? Ring a bell?

I have to admit this is what I first thought of when seeing this post.

The "Great Wall" at this time was mainly earthen ramparts, not the castle like wall you now see.
Far easier to bypass this type of wall, isn't it..?

sure sure but that has nothing to do with anything. I was responding to the 'mongolians never reached the great wall' statement, which is false. mongols reached, and bypassed, the great wall of china. Later it was enlarged.

you could say that we're talking about the modern great wall, but that would be like saying that Julius Caesar never reached Paris. That would be ridiculous, because it wasn't there yet, and the implication that he never got that far into gaul would be false. He conquered the Parisii.

That was the "Not so Great Wall" which they breached. Later it would become known as "The wall formerly known as the Not so Great Wall", however it ends up there was already a wall named that in western slovackia, and after a long and bitter legal dispute china dropped the case and renamed their wall "The Great Wall of China". Now you know, the full story.
