The cold, bloody calculus of war. as much as we try to humanize it war is a question of numbers. every war begins and ends with numbers.The xenos thought that the numbers were on their side, they thought wrong and payed the ultimate price. Sun Tzu would be proud of humanity's tactics.

@colincampbell767 11 ай бұрын

It's not just numbers. It's the raw numbers and the combat multipliers. Force A can have 10,000 soldiers each with a combat value of 1. Force B can have 20,000 soldiers each with the same combat value. However, Force A has logistics that multiply the effectiveness of each soldier by 2 and artillery which multiply their effectiveness by 2 again. Which gives force A an effectiveness of 40,000. Force B has logistics that do not multiply the effectiveness of their soldiers and artillery that multiply by 1.5. So instead of Force B outnumbering force A 2 to 1, force A outnumbers force B by 1.3 to 1.

I feel like total extermination was excessive. Take apart their empire? Sure. Obliterate all their ships and shipyard to deprive them of interstellar travel. Okay. But total extermination? I'd like to think genocide would still be considered a bad thing in this math based future. So instead of total extermination, these aliens should have been say... bombed back to the Stone Age (at least on worlds where they were the only inhabitants), quarantine the survivors, and then hope in the distant future when their descendants have clawed their way back to space faring status that they've learned to play nice with their neighbors.
