Quote from BMfox: “Quote from vietcong2005: “Alexander was more bold than strategical. Often times in history a bold and determined general can defeat a larger army. His army was experienced and well trained, and he had competent commanders under him. While, Persia's army was mostly made of conscripts. Additionally, the commanders of the Persian army were chosen by wealth and power rather than ability. Alexander did not know how to consolidate his power or when to stop his conquests. If he had f…

Aleksander had Parmenion, Peridccas, Meleager, Antipater, Ptolemy, Seleucos, Lysimachus, Craterus and many other good generals who were able to follow orders and stay loyal

couple of ideas how to judge generals general who is able to operate behind enemy lines, in the foreign land like Aleksander , Hannibal, Cortes or Druzus is higher ranked than those who simply push or defend general who is able to increase his numbers and weapons without help of logistics from home country like Aleksander, Hannibal, Cortes is higher ranked with those who are simply pushed with reinforcements general who is able to win against bigger force using any means necessary is higher rank…

I must say I very liked siege of Tenochtitlan (Aztecs vs Cortes 1521)as both sides were very creative in developing new strategies but yes- Cortes is your man when you go into enemy territory without any support, intel or logistics

haha, i do not think GrandEmpire understands how long it takes to train archer and why they were replaced by musketman he also doesn't seem to understand how long it takes to train archer to shoot accurately from horse while performing maneuvers or circle movement directing horse only with legs. but yeah- Surena knew that he must stop Romans before they reach first city on the way as he had not troops to defend city or take it back. so we may say it was rather problem of Crassus begin greedy and…

Quote from BrutusTrump: “I mean, disease destroyed most of the armies in the first place. ” haven't heard that when there were armies of 50 k standing in the field against 400-1500 Spanish i do not think disease killed all Indians in couple of hours. There was disease that cam year later and weakened empire but it took over 100 years for it to depopulate Mexico All initial success up to taking Tenochtitlan had nothing to do with disease. Quote from GrandEmpire: “true you made a guy who used germ…

I checked conquistadors Pizarro was simply copying what Cortes did and he wasn't even good in that - simple peasant wanting to get rich and Incan civil war made situation very easy for him together with constant stream of soldiers and arms on the other hand - Cortes. Well that guy had some big brain plays. Mutiny,leaving on the borrowed time, paying of spanish crown to stop Cuban Governor from executing him for treason :-). using shipwrecks, malcontents, internal strife. Intimidating opponents w…

it is one thing to conquer something another thing is to keep it - for that you need long term plan it is not about wining everything but wining battles you need to win and not losing battles you cannot lose. Alexander also conquered a lot and everything felt apart preparing space for Indian unification and Celtic raid into Greece and Asia Minor Napoleon too cleaned everything and thx to that UK, Russia and Prussia grew a lot in power, Austria lost I think 4 times in a row to Napoleon so it neve…

Quote from vietcong2005: “Quote from Druzus: “Sun Tzu would be the most wholesome general but if we need someone more familiar then Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus (Germania) or Lucius Licinius Lucullus (Eastern Kingdoms) would do. ” Sun Tzu was more of a military theorist than a general. ” I believe it would be good to read more about him and Wu kingdom. He was serving in military in Wu kingdom and took art in wars that small kingdom was fighting. Ideas he is describing fit perfect to context o…

[/quote] If Bytro would pay me for that i would be happy, but they are not and i invest my real time + time of my 3 fri…
