There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Let's not get upset ...
I am not convinced that the success of a coalition can be measured by the number of battles it has waged, the size of its territory, or even the length of its reign.
In my opinion, the only determining criterion is her descent, the ability of this coalition to enable her sons and daughters to reach adulthood and give birth on their own, whatever the ways in which she did so.
The rest is essentially circumstantial.
If we take the example of a reputedly invincible coalition, the Majingilanes, it is important to distinguish between things.
The first Majin, isolated, was killed by the Mapogos.
He made the mistake of not staying with his brothers.
They also happened to be alone on occasion. They were fortunate not to be up against a bunch of rivals, just then. It is more a matter of circumstances, than of greatness.
To be able to estimate, if the Majingilanes were a coalition which really marked its time, it is necessary to consider the descendants which they left.
The number of rivals killed, that of conquered pride, of territory ceded with or without a fight and all these criteria of power that we tend to retain, it is very human, are rather incidental, it is our soap opera.
Let's not bicker over this.
