I'll stop getting off topic after this but did you guys ever hear about the Taiping Rebellion in China in the 1850s-60s?Zhuge Liang, the Hidden Dragon - or "Kongming" or Konmin/Kohmin - from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - 三國演義 - Sanguó Yǎnyì or San Guo for short. Written by Luo Guanzhong - historic quasi-non-fiction of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Shu and Wei period starting in 189 AD when Dong Zhou seizes loyang and the chips falling into place by 225AD or so with Cao Cao the victor - this is later Han dynasty warring states period.
Zhuge Liang Liu Bei's smartest general against his fight with Cao Cao. With the heavenly three brothers, Lie Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they fight to restore the heavenly mandate and restore the Han dynasty. Lie Bei also has his 5 tiger generals - including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his sworn brothers, and Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. Liu had a great coalition with Zhughe Liang helping him with strategy.
Anyways, the Generals of the Warring States of the 3 Kingdoms (Wu, Shu, Wei) period are interesting, the book San Guo is very interesting, I have it, and the generals of the period have "stats", I have one of my old general lists right here. They made a bunch of 3 Kingdoms China Simulator games (Koei) - they are so over-featured now its like actually being in charge of a warring state in 189AD, you need to micromanage the shit out of everything.
It really bothers me that Tard knows about Zhuge Liang but he will drink himself to death like its a new moves, Leaving RutVegas

A man named Hong Xiuquan kept failng the civil service exam and he was getting progressively more depressed and sick until he was finally homeless and on his deathbed. He had a vision that he was the brother of Jesus Christ, he got better, began to preach to people and eventually started a rebellion to take over China that ended up killing 30 million people. China doesn't take any half measures when it comes to war.
