Summer Campaign-Ancient Bracket

**CaesarAugustus** · 05-09-2007, 00:55

I noticed that El Cid was overlookedwill be added to the medieval poll, so maybe Mithridates Eupator VI should be added to this ancient poll.... unless it is too full already, but Mithridates deserves to be on here....

Why Qin Shi Huangdi and not Sun Tzu?

Sun Tzu was not requested (I have been wrong before though, so if you find the post then alert me)

In particular, Qin Shi Huang and Chandragupta Maurya, as actual empire builders, should be on the list ahead of talented wannabes like Mithradates.
