mmmhh. Possibly, but I'm not as sure as you seem to be.

Yes, Milius' Conan reported an interesting dialogue about these same matters. Did you see the film?

We call him SunZu, in Italy (maybe SunZy is the right form, I don't know).
It recalls very neatly Kagemusha, the masterpiece by the great Akira
Kurosawa.
Wind, Wave and Flame were the names of the regiments of Takeda Shingen-sama
and he called himself the Mountain (I suppose chinese SunZu is the base of
Japanese strategy: many Italian mangers, nowadays, read SunZu to learn how
to defeat their competitors on the mass-market). I am afraid I haven't read
him, yet. I am entertained by the idea that the future winner of Sekigahara
(the name was???) is often depicted as the bad guy, in most japanese
fiction. Am I right?

I am interested to know how the victories of Sheng or of Genghis influenced Kralori/chinese warcraft. But I know that SunZu has composed his works centuries before Genghis, so I suppose that late chinese and japanese strategists still studied SunZu but rejected the mongol way. Only the Muslim empire (I suspect) learned something from the Mongols; all the other empires they destroyed simply hated them and called them "devils" (tartars). Was Kubilai's dynasty a long one in chinese history?

Yes, if I get what you mean, IMO the Lunar Empire learned much from the nomad Selerans in order to beat them and rule them (partially).

The greatest conquerors, in RW, fell when they tried to negate their humanity (Alexander, Genghis, Caesar, even Napoleon, et cetera). I like Gloranthan conquerors because they indeed stand a chance to succeed in this final feat: they can become gods. Sheng fell because his flaws were pitilessly exploited by the cunning Lunars, or so I imagine the essential plot of those obscure events.

Good show, Terra. My own vision of Argrath is surely compatible with this tale of yours.
