Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuYangShih" data-source="post: 1111431" data-attributes="member: 10414">Discipline would be an issue of Wisdom, not alignment.  And order is not neccessarily the best way to wage war.  Look at the Roman Empire, a greatly ordered army that marched across the globe.  Yet in several places they were turned back, by armies I would describe as chaotic in alignment.  The Arabs, the Scottish, and the Germanic Tribes all fought the Romans off, and they did so by fighting the Romans on their terms.  At one point, for example, Augustus was attempting to assimilate the Germanic Tribes through cultural exchange, instead of warfare.  Unfortunately, the General he assigned to the region infuriated the locals due to a few actions he took.  The Germans lured the Romans up into a valley where the ground was so slick, the Roman soldiers could not even turn around without slipping.  The Germans were used to this terrain, but the Romans were not.  They surrounded them, and turned the entire battle into a chaotic melee, slaughtering them all.  That was a tenth of the Roman Legion, all lost in that one battle.  I think a chaotic army would play to their strengths, which would be one on combat and wild melees, not attempt to copy the tactics of their lawful enemies.  The Devils are simply much better at that type of warfare than the Demons, and always will be.  Dictating how the battle is fought is the key, and if Pyrak insists on engaging the Devils on their terms, I do not see how he can win.  Regardless of all that, however, great work so far, and I look forward to reading more.</blockquote>
