I would have said most ancient civilisations would choose their next king/equivalent through strength rather than birth right. People weren't that patient.

Then you know very little ancient history.

Are you saying that throughout history, long before standards we have now, that people cared nothing for strength, only birthright...no matter who the person in question? That every single rebellion, uprising, battle and argument has been for the rightful succession to a higher order by birth? And you say I know little...

Succession by birthright was the general rule and those uprisings and such are noteable because they are the exception.

Birthright in kingdoms was much more important then who was the best warrior/general. Especially in the East. In this case the middle east but also in asia.
