>Read Sun Tzu, The Art of War. Every battle is won before it's ever fought. Think about it.

>>211541756 (OP)
Sun tzu is not real though. It most likely was a random book keeper who kept generals quotes in his store

It's like you already wake up before you go to sleep.

>Sun Tzu
Its barely even a book, its like 10 minutes long full of common sense stuff like if you kill your enemy you win

lazy quote thread

>>211541975
>common sense stuff like if you kill your enemy you win
That's not such common sense in the 21st century.

>>211542112
It is though, the intended auidence was brain dead retarded peasant farmers

>>211541756 (OP)

>>211541756 (OP)
I listened Sabaton album Art of War. They quoted Sun Tzu enough for me.

>>211541975
it's always common sense when someone else presents it but not very common when you have to figure it out on your own

watch people being new at strategy games and see for yourself. or simply watch one of your replays

>>211542181
>the intended auidence was brain dead retarded peasant farmers
now why would you think that?

>>211544836
Because its fucking 5th century bc china

>>211541799
all warfare is based on deception, even writing

>>211544963
who was literate in 5th century bc china?

>to win, simply outsmart your opponent
wow thanks a lot

>More stuff beats less stuff
-Super duper deep and enigmatic quote by a nameless nobody

>>211541756 (OP)
If every battle is won before it's fought, then why do some battles end in a draw? This disproves Sun Tzu's quote.

>>211541975
The best stuff in his book are the bits that are very specific to how warfare was fought at the time.
>okay, if you are fighting on a hill always make sure to have your troops position on the eastern side, but if you are fighting by a river, etc
Somehow those are the bits that never get quoted.

"Portray your enemies as low T basedjacks"
-Sun Tzu, The Art Of War

>>211545361
The battle was tied before it was fought.

>>211545599
the answer was so obvious, but it took a genius and double dubs to post it

>>211544963
5th century bc is late stage ancient greek with all those famous philosophers and mathematicians. i'm pretty sure the chinese nobles who lead armies, the target audience, were more thoroughly educated than you

>>211541975
It's only common sense now because of mass media. People were completely retarded back then.

Exactly. No need to complicate the matter. Win by winning.

Amazing but my enemy had read your book fuck head and now every act humility is considered a veiled threat.

>>211545678
Lead is a type of metal. You meant to type "led," the past tense of lead.

>>211546181
no i ment lead

The entire book was written to teach retarded nobles who had never worked a day in their lives that armies need food

>>211546259
Repeat what you just said

i guessed i mixed up my two favorite off topic boards

>If you kill your enemies, they win

>>211547453
Was that post supposed to be funny?

>>211546181

>>211547974
no

Jesus, the man really didn't understand the concept of irony poisoningm

>book keeper who kept generals quotes in his store

>>211541756 (OP)
>But why do you need to delete this thread?
>>BECAUSE IT’S OFF-TOPIC, ALRIGHT? I took another look at it and I changed my mind.

I always find it ridiculous when people gel their hair back like that

>>211555787
it's a look that commands respect

>>211541975
