im not saying anyone was better just he is top 3 with the likes of alexander and cyrus. both earned their titles of the great.
but word the eras and types of warfare call for different shit. I favor ancient warfare mainly because of the heavy reliance on infantry.
Subedei was a fucking G. but so was julius caesar. think about the fact that caesar systematically conquered gaul. people portray them as backwards idiots today yet they were more advanced in alot of ways. if gaul itself wasnt enough he defeated one of romes greatest generals of all time in pompey as well
and then there is also scipio africanus who was a fucking g that reconquered italy from hannibal reconquered spain and then conquered carthage
cyrus the great was a fucking G
alexander conquered an insane amount of territory in like 13 years before dying at 32
also I hate on the mongols alot. I give subedei his due. its too early and I cant type like I want on this phone. I wish I had books to recommend so you could read up on others but all I know of are the original texta like the education of cyrus the grea5 by xenophon written In like 500 bc lol
