Top 5 greatest military generals of all time?

[DeadLikeMe]

The obvious answer is me. I've conquered far more than any of them in the Medieval, Rome, Empire, and Medieval II Total War game series. I have stopped the Golden Horde in their tracks 1000 times, and decimated the Timurid armies. I also would mention the hundreds of continental and intercontinental trophies I have won in Football Manager, further demonstrating how effective my man management capabilities truly are.

I never read anything on him but he sounded like a total badass on the history podcast I listen too. I highly recommend it if you're interested:

khan at #10 and alexander at #1

alexander inherited the best army in the world at the time and rarely fought armies that were equal to his.

simple nomads in huts with nothing more than bows and horses decimated castles, fortresses and armies with gunpowder. explain that.
