Wants to live forever. Proceeds to ingest mercury.

The extra Builder Charge is pretty good, and I like how you can use those Charges to speed up Wonder Production.

Civ 6 aside, Qin Shi Huang was a very interesting emperor.

The more I try to learn traditional Chinese historiography, the less I understand about it

[alfredthegreatkingofwessex]

“Why!? Why am I still dying!?!”

* *Takes mercury shot* *

“Guess we’ll never know!”

I love the movie "Hero". It's an exaggerated fantasy telling of the story but still a fantastic movie :)

[michaelsinger]

Ah yes, proof that in history, being a “great man” doesn’t necessarily mean being a “nice man.”

I just read the latest release of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie when Qin Shi Huang fights against Hades and suddenly this vid appears in my timeline

[brandonc.b]

The life of Zhuge Liang would also be a pretty good topic for a video

[oshii]

I would love to see a biographics on: the Sun family (Not Sun Tzu, I'm talking about Sun Jiang, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan), Lui bei, and Cao Cao. Maybe one on Jang Jiao.

Nice to know about Fate/Grand Order's Qin Shi Huang. Pretty nice

Watching Simon's "normal" Channels after binging business blaze is so strange...

[matthewsmith]

Since you did qin shi huang who united china by ending the warring state period maybe do Wu of Han who united china culturally and spiritually.

Are we back to 3 or even 4 videos a week Simon? 😀

China started going downhill when they stopped having leaders with impressive facial hair. Yuan Shikai made a valiant effort to bring it back with that walrus mustache, but it just wasn't enough.

[stevecrashburn]

I feel like the behind the scenes on this one could be fun to watch. You did awesome with all those names!!

[princepscivitatis]

Simon, please do one on Emperor Aurelian (the restorer of the world).

[MountainDewbies]

Love me some beautiful smooth and buttery Simon narration for my morning😂
