[QUOTE="Baduin, post: 3853020, member: 45562"] Unfortunately, not. "Warlord" has a specific meaning - a warlord is a man who governs some area by purely military means. Warlords actually seldom take part in formal wars against organized armies, and when they do, they lose badly. Their typical activity is commonly known as "killing people and taking their stuff"; although more efficient ones actually prefer "not killing people, but still taking their stuff". If you think that is the essence of D&D, the name kind of fits. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord[/url] [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7050506.stm[/url] "A Congolese warlord has been flown to the International Criminal Court at The Hague where he is to face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Germain Katanga, who led the Forces for Patriotic Resistance (FRPI) in Ituri, was flown from the capital, Kinshasa. Mr Katanga is the second Congolese militia leader to be sent to The Hague. The warlord Thomas Lubanga was flown there last year to face charges of recruiting child soldiers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. 'More prosecutions' Prosecutors say Mr Katanga - known as Simba - led the FRPI in Ituri in north-eastern DR Congo in 2003. He was arrested two years ago. He is accused of murder, sexual enslavement and forcing children under 15 to fight as soldiers. " [/QUOTE]
