    A calm and patient aconomist perdominantly. I don't start wars, much, I don't go for huge empire building, until I have to, and I'm good to my citizens. But if someone attacks me, or a close ally then retribution is swift and devestating. I believe in having a small, well trained army and use them to crush much larger forces of pesky enemies who dare to encroach on my land. Otherwise I'm generally peaceful. :)

    So understanding Sun Tzu would mean I can be easily shamed : "One obsessed with being scrupulous and untainted can be shamed"
    Isn't it funny how people trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell?

    I think I fall into the 'clings to life' catergory. Whatever the type of battle I do my best to keep as many of my troops alive as possible, almost never refuse to pay ransoms and tend not to go empire building and stay home and build instead.

    I also agree the captured line or vices can be virtues, +9 moral is great on field commanders, it more than makes up for -3 command because 3 command doesn't make 9 moral at all, and me with my survivalist idea's tend to have high valour troops because they all come home.
    I was trying to find some help in the ancient military journals of General Tacticus, who's intelligent campaigning had been so successful that he'd lent his very name to the detailed prosecution of martial endeavour, and had actually found a section headed "What To Do If One Army Occupies A Well-Fortified And Superior Ground And The Other Does Not", but since the first sentence read "Endeavour to be the one inside" I'd rather lost heart.

    This is where MP comes into its own. The varying styles, tactics and levels of aggression from your human opponents always gives variety to every game, something you dont get with battles against the AI. I tend to find battles against the AI flat and uninspiring in comparison.

    -One committed to dying can be slain;
    -One committed to living can be captured;
    During tournament games, players not used to that games could panic....because they fear too much to loose.

    -One easily angered and hasty to act can be insulted;
    lol, how many times happened. Not only during the game, but even to do some pressure on someone to play against.

    -One obsessed with being scrupulous and untainted can be shamed;
    Too much care in keeping an ordered and clear army deployment... slow general :)

    -One who loves the people can be troubled;
    In multi battles(2vs2 or more), attacking usally the weaker enemy(or the girl), forces the other allyes to support him/her..even if they are by themselves in difficult situation.
    NOTE: It's important to cooperate and help the ally in troubles, but without weaking too much on its own side.
