The Five Rings is another really famous military tome. Honestly, most of what Sun Tzu wrote seems to be common sense, but the Five Rings was written by arguably the greatest samurai who ever lived.


But Common sense is very uncommon, despite it's name. On the other hand, Miyamoto Musashi is one of the most epic guys ever.

He was one of the world's first and greatest trolls.

Sasaki Kojiro: How dare you treat our duel with such frivolity! At least have the dignity to appear on time!

Miyamoto Musashi: Lol. U mad bro?

SK: Yes! Now draw!

MM: K. *smacks Sasaki with boken* gg, I'm out.

Angry Mob: Kill that dishonorable cur!

MM: *Riding away on boat* Nice boat, amiright? Btw, Tokugawa wins. Oops, spoilers. lolz.

I would also recommend reading Sun Tzu's Art of War. There's some pretty good information on how these kinds of wars are waged.


That Which Consumes Peace: "Sun Tzu was hog wash. What kind of general attempts to talk peacefully before attacking? Attila! Now he was a general!"

Seriously though I feel like we're more like the Huns than the Chinese.

I always figured we were closer to the Mongolians than the Huns. Someone who would approach a fortification tell them they can either surrender or have every single man, woman, and child die within the week. If they say yes we keep our word, because if we didn't no one else would surrender, but if they said no than we keep our word, because then no one would surrender.

The kind whose waiting for the poison in the wine he just gave his rival time to take effect?

Tinkerhel: "Is that the one where you get the defending garrison to gangbang you the night before the battle so they're too tired to man their posts?"

Tinkerhel: "Although to be fair some of them might last longer than a week, but they won't be very happy about it. Apart from the ones who are very, very happy about it, but they get recruited so don't count."

Poison isn't That's thing. Not enough chaos there. Too peaceful. Tbh he'll be pushing the most chaotic option, like a full on frontal assault before infiltration is complete, for his own purposes. Not to say that he isn't loyal, he is, but his number one goal is to gain power.

Not much bloodshed on my part. Fire tends to cauterise the wounds before they bleed. There will be a lot of flames and smoke, though.

Narza can cover weather control. Hailstorms, droughts, blizzards would all destroy crops, slow troop movement, weaken entire areas, and even kill off whole villages if the blizzard is cold enough.

I vote drought. All vegetation will then be primed for the burning.

A combo would be good. Only problem is, Narza can't set it on fire. She can push clouds away to prevent rain but can't make stuff heat up or burn

She needs a partner for that lol

I'm the kind of guy that likes to be able to do things on his own, even if it's more fun to do it as a group.

But I'm not Narza, so anyone wanna team up with a crazy ghost girl?

@Mattie_ Question; If you were to make rainclouds and the like, would you be able to mix in certain... substances into them? Because if so Narza and Twich can create a whole new meaning to the term 'Acid Rain'... among other things.
