    You've got quite a point there. Today, everybody is immoral. Except for me, of course.

    Until your previous post, everyone was on-topic: the incompetence of those particular idiots who sometimes edit Wikipedia...

    Holy crap. At least he didn't explain ancient warfare with Age of Empires-terms. Still this article is absolutely RTW-ish and even though I'm anything but an expert about ancient warfare and therefore can't judge the authenticity of its content, I can say I have a strange feeling when reading it.

    This article is the single stupidest-but funniest- thing I have ever encountered on the internet that attempts to take itself seriously. Assuming the guy who wrote it wasn't laughing his ass off as he wrote it...
    I'm surprised he didn't say that elephants were invincible behemoths and cataphracts wore purple...
