5243124 Well I just updated. Sorry for the late response but I always like to back up what I say with a deed. Now the chapter has been posted I guess I have my deed. Also thank you for your kind words. There are still a few chapters left unedited but I am slowly getting there to have them all edited by my editor.
So the Skokak are the Germans from Teutoburg Forest....ew.
5262323 I was thinking more Socially Adaptive Aztecs, but yours works too.

5262323 You are correct. I based the Skokak on some of the old German tribes, who were known to cut out the testicles of war prisoners before burning them alive in a sacrificial fire. (This was not always the case but it was used)
The tribe I based them on were the Cherusci but these practices where adopted by more German tribes than just them.
This tribe was one of the tribes partaking in the The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest and the tribe of which Arminius became king.
Also I like the scene from code Geass. It fits the bill quite well, although I am not a fan of most anime due to the long conversations (and some other reasons). No offense for people who like anime but I find it annoying if they talk so much.

I myself am not a fan of conversion stories either. I can live with certain aspects of them and with some I can't.
I indeed read up a decent amount of information on wikipedia, although I also use specific articles around a specific subjects by example. The Thermae.
I enjoy history immensely (some parts of it more than others) and my favorite type of books are books that either are set in a time period in between the rise of civilization like ancient Egypt or China, all the way to the second world war or alternate universes that are in these settings. I have found information in the Vespasian series by Robert Fabbri especially very useful for using in this fanfiction.
I am currently also captivated by the Agent of Rome series by Nick Brown. I have only read the first book of the Agent of Rome series so far, but I can guarantee everyone that is interested that if you enjoy Roman history both these series are a must reads.
I appreciate your praces about me making a good pre-modern general.![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
And at last Mediëval France vs Equestria?
There are way too many variables to answer this. For example a single chokepoint could stop a entire army as happened in the Battle of Thermopylae or indigenous diseases could strike, like has happened to the Aztecs when the spanish came to South America. The French army or the pony army could have either competent commanders (Napoleon) or incompetent ones (Darius the third). Just to name a few.
Note: My critic about Darius is purely based about how I see him as a military commander and not as a ruler in general!
I do not think that the ponies have the direct advantage qua quality of their troops as the armor of the royal guard leaves the neck terribly exposed, however unicorns and pegasi should not be underestimated. I believe Earth ponies should be fairly easy to deal with, but weather control can be devastating for an army and unicorns their magic can also be hard to deal with.
However I believe both sides have a decent chance at winning if they use the right tactics and strategies.
Thank you for the comments and your kind words and I hope these responses satisfy you. I also hope you keep on supporting me and the story in the future.
