It's a name taken from a David Gemmell novel. Sort of an Aruthian historical fiction piece. Very enjoyable read.

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.
Your name and you just had a revelation about the stupid AI.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Parking themselves in front of my walls and letting my archers have a field day sniping his general

The dumbest thing the A.I did to me was in my Julii Campaign Against the Gauls. I was Defending a Bridge w/ a general, 2 Mercenary Hoplites, 4 Hastai, 3 Archers, & 1 ornager. For 2 years my General and the Gauls just stood there Facing each other ,but eventually the Gauls left. 3 years Later I found out that the Gauls left just to go around me and attack me from behind and therefore getting the same Results which was their Death.
The Ptolemaics not squashing my tiny little armies of Armenians when they had the chance in RTR. All the Ptolemaics had to do was ignore what was left fo the Seleucids, and move north, and I was dead. And they knew it too. They had spies *@#$* everywhere, including my homeland, but the best they ever did was break army after army against my one real field army holding Susa.
But you know...that was a fun campaign (:

Mark Twain 1881"If you don't want to work, become a reporter. That awful power, the public opinion of the nation, was created by a horde of self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditch digging and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse."
