>>113384220>Earth tribe did alright by just turtling; it's not like the really lost much ground at all. Plus their element doesn't help them much in naval battles so they couldn't go much on the offensive.It's honestly a pretty nice dynamic that I can see why it lasted for 100 years.
Fire Nation are better combatants and have better technology, but the Earth Nation is just so fucking huge and popular that it kinda overwhelms them a bit.
The other nations also had a pretty good defense advantage over Fire.
>>113384134Even disregarding the whole Avatar thing, I honestly can't say that they did wrong by getting rid of the Air nation before they could do anything. It was honestly a good strategy.
Though they were pacifists, that only meant they couldn't kill, or rather that they weren't fine with killing and with war; so they'd have definitely aided the other nations, as they are not the ones inciting the violence.
Having to deal with *flying* bisons would just suck.
