Conqueror: Difference between revisions

* [[Bring Me My Brown Pants]]: Borte wets herself when she realizes the Tartars are going to rape her. Again.

* [[Cain and Abel]]: Temujin and Bekter, Jochi and Chagatai

* [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]]: Killing one's enemies and raping their women is intentionally portrayed as honourable and good.

** The killing-one's-enemies part is still seen as honourable nowadays...

* [[Genghis Gambit]]: Fitting, since the real Genghis Khan is the [[Trope Namer]].

* [[Grim Up North]]: The Tartars seem to thrive in the frozen wastes of Siberia. Possibly the Mongols themselves to the Chin.

* [[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: Some of the Mongols' more horrible tactics, such as catapulting severed heads and the corpses of plague victims into cities, as well as Genghis Khan's rape of hundreds of women, are left out. The author does however mention habitual use of captured civilians (terrorized beyond all sanity by inventive executions and deadly forced marches) as living shields/cannon fodder when assaulting fortified cities

* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: The Tartars are responsible for a fair bit more of the crap in Temujin's early life than happened in reality.
