As-Salāmu `Alayka, User ID 35431 :woot:
Hey now, don't go exposing my digits to the world like that! XD
User ID 2304's making me feel all exposed and such. :tongue:
Don't worry User ID 35431 - even dwarfs started small :woot:
Pleased to see a guy from the hard-fought image front!
You see, folks, there's no problem at all with my too early joining :smile:

It's either going to be eerily like the backstory to fallout (with an earlier nuclear apocalypse) or Independance day (but humanity loses). We're screwed as a species, it's our fault and nobody cares. OH WHAT A SURPRISE!
TL:DR Humans are stupid.
Yeah, when they come in with a six-pack of Nuka Cola we'll know what to do... on the fly and without forewarning :ninja:

nah, doesnt work :/
It works, tried out the above example - dunno what you're doing wrong.

The Doc's alive! He's in 1885, but he's alive! :biggrin:
To Be Continued...
lol, that scene from Back to the Future never gets old.
Watching a scene from afar and acting in a scene are two very different animals...
Only the chosen ones may enter. Anyway! The laugh is always on the loser *hehehe*

With that usedID she joined during 2003-2004. I have seen another person with the same ¨ problem¨. I guess it´s just an error or something. :smile:
Yup - I belong to the elders here... the pilgrim mothers of the scrolls whom already grass has grown on their cheeks *g*, joined in winter 2002/2003, if memory serves. Before then I worked for Gas Powered Games' Dungeon Siege and had not even time enough for a boyfriend, far less playing games of "the evil business competition" in the not present leisure time *lol*
Actually, 1970 was never ever a problem for me, cos I had none in those days *rofl*

Although there does seem to be something wrong with how endorsements are registered the second try did indeed make it work.
... as I've said!
My pleasure.

1. Dungeon Siege (multiplayer Zonematch 2002-2006); my username still refers to it.
2 ff. Bethesda Games, what else?
-
That somebody simply has to repeat his endorsement; this works, for we're no longer dealing with the strange rating error of winter.
-
The pious idea of 'times change - people change' is somewhat foolish, I guess ... after a brief look at our own impure history.
A Holy War - "James' Jihad" - was necessary to bring back the water of life to the people, and wars will be necessary to defend its possession and to keep it pure when a busy civilization returns from the graves.

Having played FA3 in the original vanilla version without any corrective add-on, my female lonely wanderer died as suffering servant of her father's ideas in good messianic fashion, viz Bethesda tradition, leaving all the mutated people behind on level 12 with sufficient clean water of life, probably for the clan wars to come. "That girl of Vault One-O-One, folks", as Three Dog might have commentated between two boring sounds if the 50s on Galaxy Radio, "is legend", remember?

Unfortunately, strategy and tactics of the British Crown are focussed on marriages of the peers - their Rose Wars aren't part of the thread...
-
I share Jim's opinion:
1. Morrowind
2. nothing
3. Oblivion / Fallout 3
(Dragon Age still unkown)
The religious theme behind the storylines is in all above ranked games the same:
You're the Chosen One, the Messiah, either the "victorious savior of the nations"
or the "suffering servant who dies for our salvation"... to my liking :wub:

Much ado about nothing!
Next time, my friend, you'll better make it short, for we don't need the complete vita of every turban, guess so.
A few sentences do nicely as well. Thank you! :thumbsup:

Strategy: Gaius Iulius Caesar ("How to turn a republic into dictatorship by military means")
Tactics: Vo Nguyen Giap ("How to turn western invincibles into vincibles successfully")

Though the question is...for all around the world and through all ages military people have one thing in common...the respect for the military abilities...; and that's the quintessence of all Art of War.
Even after cutting the fat from the long sentence, I fail to get what you are getting at. Were you asking me a question or something else? The 1st 4 words confuse me.
Actually it is self-explanatory. The fat, as you say, is the key to unlock the fragmentary citation. Wonder what you want to say after you have said it already... Guess we should discuss that in private, not to confuse (or to entertain) all others.

Well, LHammonds, you've pointed to the Khan twice already, now strenghtening a stage of brutality he'd shared with the Assyrians, P. Africanus and Adolf Hitler in power, and now even the last should know your legitimate opinion. Though the question is, against you, not a religious one, for all around the world and through all ages military people have one thing in common, totally alien to rulers, politicians and religious men in their ivory towers - the respect for the military abilities of all those who were, are and will be, opponent or not; and that's the quintessence of all Art of War.

Well, if I would define "greatest" as the "most successful" and if successful is defined by the area dominated by the leader, it would have to be Ghengis Khan since he had the largest empire the world had ever known.
LHammonds
Military success is not a simple matter of gaining space, at least not if the space is largely composed of grassland, necessary for large scale maneuvers on horseback. Moreover, the strategic defensive it is a known paradigm as well as the cultural assimilation of the conquerer by the Chinese. A mucher better parameter is effectiveness at a low ratio of own casualties on any terrain.

1: My cats
2: Sex
:happy:
Guess what remains in a quarter of a century... :whistling:
Well, here comes the mine:
1. Experiences (and this includes sex)
2. Thinking (too often even during sex)
3. Spending money (surely not for sex)

If one had to choose, what would be your choice of the greatest military leader of all time?
This is closely related to both the historical timeline and developments in warfare in the leading cultures of the eastern and the western hemisphere. We find tacticians of enormous innovative influence on warfare with no or just minor own engagements in battle like Sun Wu 6th c. BC and his later descendent Sun Bin 5th c. BC (the former wrote the book Wu Sun Zi that came down to us in the known fragments as ‘the Art of War’), the pillars of the traditional Chinese warfare, or Frontinus’ Roman Stratagems of the 1st c. CE and the Byzantine emperor Maurice’s Strategicon of the 6th c. CE, culminating in the book ‘On War’ by the Prussian Clausewitz. On the other hand we identify strategoi, field commanders that have added nothing new to the art of warfare of their time, but were ingenious in the use of it like Pompeius, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Hindenburg and Mao tse Dong. Then we find innovative field commanders like Miltiades, Perikles, Epaminondas, Hannibal, Scipio Africanus and Marius in Antiquity, Chalid Ibn al-Walid , ‘the Sword of Islam’, Attila and Genghis Khan (to mention just two of the eastern horse people) in the medieval epoch, the icons Rommel and his counterpart Montgomery, perhaps even McArthur as well as the Vietnamese general Giap in modern times, to be brief. Finally, a category of important leaders with a short military span of life, normally operating on smaller scales is to be identified like the Parthian Surenas (my alias!), who butchered the trained Legions of Crassus in Blizkrieg fashion at Charrae (today Iraq) in the 1st c. BC, only to be killed in the year thereafter by his own King who feared his growing popularity, or the founder of the successful Red Army Leo Trotzki, killed in exile by agents of Stalin by similar reasons, to mention just two exotic birds.
You see, the above question is everything but easy to be answered.
"If Hannibal, in his time, had been able to operate with the means and ideas Caesar had at hand later... the ancient world of the West would not have become a Latin one." [Hans Delbrueck_History of the Art of War]
