The youkai would be ill prepared for the red-cloaked legions of the Senate and People of Rome(SPQR).

Gaius Julius Caesar overthrows Yukari as the ruler of Gensokyo and establishes ruling supremacy over the land, annexing the Fantasy Village into his dictatorship.

Youkai everywhere are sold into slavery or killed outright. Some are forced to fight in gladiatorial combat.

Ave Caesar.

All that would come after the annexation of Gensokyo.

Gensokyo has no army.

The Roman Empire, under Caesar, was an unstoppable juggernaut that fielded tens of thousands of men, accompanied by the finest military hardware of its time.

One shrine maiden would be able to do very little against such an army. If anything, she would be captured and then tortured into giving up the locations of the other important figures of the Fantasy Village.

However, I would not put it past some clever folk, like Remilia for example, to use their wiles in order to fell the Empire from within.

Rome has no army.

Gensokyo, under Yukari, is an unstoppable juggernaut that fields tens of thousands of fairies, accompanied by the finest danmaku in the world.

One outside world empire would be able to do very little against such an army. If anything, they would be conquered and then devoured.

However, I would not put it past some clever folk, like Marcus Aurelius for example, to use their wiles in order to fell the Yakumo family from within.

testudo formation ensures that no soldiers are hit by danmaku.

archers can take out the flying ones.

checkmate for gensokyo. I can assure you that the first to raise a hand against the SPQR would rapidly be rendered both handless and footless.

You would have to wait for the eventual collapse of the empire. But I digress. It's my bedtime.

Caesar lays siege to Uxellodunum, the last Gallic outpost in open revolt. Caesar defeats these last rebels, and then proceeds to cut off the hands of all those who survived the siege, and scatter them throughout Gaul.

Battle of Uxellodunum. And I daresay that the Gauls were far more hardcore than the people of Gensokyo. If they stood no chance...

Lesser youkai, of course.

That doesn't mean average level ones like Mystia wouldn't be a threat. Youkai are most active at the night, when humans are least active. Mystia blinds the night guards, and a small troop of youkai sneak in and kill the entire force.

Of course, Rome wouldn't be able to seal the youkai, so any invasion would just be an unending war.

Avarage youkai is weaker than avarage Gensokyo human. You know, the ones that are used to defend from them from infancy. Any outsider who comes to Gensokyo is screwed. You need spiritual energy and weapons to fight them, normal warfare does nothing.

But you notice--they never left the border.

The border of Gensokyo is a metaphorical one--a border between fantasy and reality. The border does not have a strict "volume" or area that it contains. The "moon" in Gensokyo is not the same moon as seen by the outside world.

Wrong mythology (but I see you noticed this already).

Anyway, belief give powers to gods, not to believers. Unless Mars, Jupiter and co. come to Gensokyo personally, their believers stand no chance againist actual gods and other beings that trained in using their spiritual power all their lives. "Girls of Gensokyo, what is your profession?!"

>>The "moon" in Gensokyo is not the same moon as seen by the outside world.

Bullshit. In Derp Derp in Derp it was stated that the americans sent a mirror to the moon to measure the distance with lasers and the moon rabbits fucked it up. That implies that either Americans can go to the "other moon" or it's the same moon.

The point is, the gods would have to fight themselves. Their human armies, they do nothing.

Also, it's worth mentioning they'd be lucky if they didn't turn into little girls immediately after crossing the border.

>Also why so serious?

I'm going to overlook this retarded question.

Pic related.
Let's see, one is a ghost which can instantly kill anyone simply by wanting it to be so, and the other can manipulate pretty much fucking everything and everyone.
Rome has no chance.
Also how the fuck would you kill a ghost in the first place? Is it even possible with conventional weaponry?

Man fuck Triarii, I'm sure in Real Life they were ultimate badasses or whatever but they aren't worth all the time and effort that goes into getting them out onto the field.

Principes are where it's at pre-marius reforms.

While we're on the subject, I never got a good answer for why Rome had Armored Ninjas in this game.

Arcanii might have actually existed.

But they were not mask wearing Super Soldiers.

They were scouts, Spies, and not even actual Romans.

MOST of the game is fairly accurate, even if there are some other massively incorrect things. But I can take those as Gameplay choices.

But The Arcani?

It just doesn't add up at fucking all.

Youkai can fly, so no melee weapon would even have a chance to be used. As for projectiles... well, guess what the entire Gensokyo practices for their entire lifetime? Dodging them.

A few small-fry stray youkai may be hurt, or even killed, that way, but nothing more. Oh, and most of those youkai would be fairies, which are going to respawn afterwards anyway.

Even if Rome could pass through the boundary, and its army had people with supernatural powers in it, there are Gensokyoans who can fuck with the very fabric of space and time, the boundaries between dimensions, outright end your life without even touching you, there are at least two who cannot die... period, etc.
Rome would be fucked.

Would he? Did Remilia have to go to Japan? As I understood it she moved her entire mansion, so the entrance to Gensokyo might not be one place in Japan.

Their kings are not permanent. They select and appoint the most worthy man. If there are unexpected calamities in the kingdom, such as frequent extraordinary winds or rains, he is unceremoniously rejected and replaced. The one who has been dismissed quietly accepts his demotion, and is not angry. The people of this country are all tall and honest. They resemble the people of the Middle Kingdom and that is why this kingdom is called Da Qin. This country produces plenty of gold [and] silver, [and of] rare and precious [things] they have luminous jade, 'bright moon pearls,' Haiji rhinoceroses, coral, yellow amber, opaque glass, whitish chalcedony, red cinnabar, green gemstones, gold-thread embroideries, woven gold-threaded net, delicate polychrome silks painted with gold, and asbestos cloth.
They also have a fine cloth which some people say is made from the down of 'water sheep' [= sea silk], but which is made, in fact, from the cocoons of wild silkworms (= wild silk). They blend all sorts of fragrances, and by boiling the juice, make a compound perfume. [They have] all the precious and rare things that come from the various foreign kingdoms. They make gold and silver coins. Ten silver coins are worth one gold coin. They trade with Anxi [Parthia] and Tianzhu [North-western India] by sea. The profit margin is ten to one. . . . The king of this country always wanted to send envoys to the Han, but Anxi [Parthia], wishing to control the trade in multi-coloured Chinese silks, blocked the route to prevent [the Romans] getting through [to China].

It would have been an interesting alt-history where Rome and China pushed respectively east and west and met in the middle in Central Asia or Persia. I wonder what would have happened.
