Sun Tzu is literally smarter than you.
Please, Hearts of Iron 4?
I exclusively play wargames with 500 page manuals, fully simulated lug nut supply chains and the most hideously unintuitive UIs known to humankind.
I'd like to see Mr. Sun beat me at Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2
I bet Sun Tzu can't even play Flashpoint Campaigns, which is cool because neither can I
Sun Tzu was probably smart for his time but if you compared his knowledge to what people have available to them today he probably would have written things a lot differently.
Turns out time progresses and knowledge is not eternal or universal, and that material conditions dictate what is useful and practical.
I could just read art of war and learn all his tricks. Sun Tzu can't read mine as I wasn't dumb enough to publish them.
Who is the genious now huh?
He also went and died, the absolute dumbass. How the hell's he gonna read if he's got no eyes?
Sun Tzu :geordi-no:
Generalmajor Carl von Clausewitz :geordi-yes:
Sun Tzu is popular because The Art of War is like 20 pages
On War is the Das Kapital of war that nobody reads
people definitely read clausewitz lol he's a cliche for military history nerds
Isn't that game about strategic planning? Tactical planning is more zoomed in, like XCom.
I definitely know more about how to deal with a Chrysalid infestation than Sun Tzu.
Sun Tzu may not have even been a real historical figure.
But even a non-existent person is smarter than a HoI player.
If Sun Tzu is so smart, why is he dead? I'm not that smart and I'm still alive. Maybe you should listen to me instead.
My only tactical planning is coercing guests in roller coaster tycoon to ride an unfinished rollercoaster
Actually my only experience with tactical planning is City Skylines.
Okay but I got my tactical experience from Red Alert. Bet Sun Tzu don't even know what a construction yard is.
