Ionia won against at least one Noxus Invasion
"Yeah, yeah, invade Ionia you said, it'll be fine you said!"
"Fine, you said!"
"Yeah, yeah, invade Ionia you said, it'll be fine you said!"
"Fine, you said!"
Uhm yeah we pretty much knew already that noxus did invade ionia at some point,I mean Taliyahs lore does mention it and it is quite important for yasuos lore as well. The question is if they are still in ionia or if they were driven back already,since Kleds quote could also be understood as "we managed to invade ionia,but it was quite messy"

Invade on Ionia by Noxus was already known by a lot people. I didn't create this thread to make it clear. I was trying to say exactly what you said. Noxus lost against Ionia at least in some point. It is quitely interesting imo, because even someone like Kled can accept how messed up they're against Ionia. I'm not surprised on Ionia's victory, I'm surprised how Ionia won, even Kled iaccepts.
Could it be another interpretation of "Worthy enemy" that caused Riven to leave Noxus when they bombed their own troops to win?
First off, that's a line, not actual lore. Second, according to Taliyah they are STILL in Ionia. Third, in Old Lore they only got repelled after pushing halfway through the country, and even then had to wait 7 years before setting up a rigged match for Ionia to tell the League to tell them to get out.
Noxus likely took a lot of casualties in New Lore though... BUT IT'S K, BECAUSE APPARENTLY NOXUS CAN RECOVER THANKS TO IT'S INFINITE MICRO-ECONOMIES THAT PUT ROME AND THE UNITED STATES TO SHAME! /Salt

First off, lines tell a lot thing, it doesn't have to be actual lore. It is like saying Jaredan's answers have no meaning because it is not directly from actual lore. Quotes are related with lore, not gameplay.
Second, It's not that hard to understand ''at least one Noxus Invasion''
Third, IN OLD LORE. OLD. '' OLD ''. OLD. OLD.
...Well it isn't that hard to imagine it as hard that Noxua can mantain itself. You have to remember that the weapon tech currently at best it's at around early enlightment era where guns and rifle aren't the standard in military. Without guns, tanks and planes the cost of war are a lot more cheaper than a modern war. Of course this also means that Noxus has really smithing / smelting and is rich in metal since they apear to outfit most of their troops with heavy armour and helmet. Beside ancient Roman China did similar things in history in terms of warmong and expanding, so it's not impossibleb to self supplly themself through the invasion.
Beside I'd imagine Noxus gave up on the invading part and is probably trying to mantain and defend the occupy Ionian territory. I'd imagine Ionia doesn't really want to fight and get back to their homeland as much after the countless death during the war. IRL example would be the relationship betweem Noxus and Ionia is similar the relationship with North Korea and South Korea
But that is my personal theory. However salt overdose is not good for the body.
This game is a salt overdose friend... You haven't seen enough of the community if you believe otherwise :P
Mostly I'm just annoyed at the reasoning behind Noxus being able to maintain a military presence in several areas (Ionia, Shurima, and Frejlord) while somehow maintaining it's own home economy and just being explained away with 'Micro Economies' when I asked Jaredan about it.
I... did not read of China through the Roman Era however, I'll need to look into it. A lot of people I meet consider Rome to be the primary influence for Noxus, so I'm hoping Riot doesn't use that as an excuse to just handwave away their behavior and purposely set them up to fail because the Roman Empire eventually failed too, and somehow make Demacia infallible (keeping in mind Europe did eventually lose it's military influence to the US, and even the US is slowly falling down as it overextends it's military reach and brings elections for people who should be absolutely nowhere near Washington D.C.)
(oh god my grammer Q.Q no more typing at 2 am at night)
Well Riot can't really tell us how Noxus work since spoiler and all that. Fucking sucks but I'm enjoying the lore alot more now than before.
On reason why Noxus can maintain it's military presence it's probably because the turn the land they conquer into farmland. This allows them to relief the strain of expenses in food. I mean the Roman allows people who become loyal citzenland and wealth. This means that Noxus is pretty diverse in terms of ethnicity. I'm not sure why the Roman fell but I'm pretty sure it went the line of hire mercanry but don't quote me on that. Also as for the decrease on military in the U.S it's largely because the U.S doesn't have a enemy to fight against. Noxus is a ever epending country so they have a pretty good and rather profitable war economy. Also Shurima and Fejord are prertty much stateless. They are either in a civil war or shit hole no one wants to go to. I'd imagine Noxus just tend to raid them and conquer easy pickings during the chaos
