The first military genius?

Is he high?

Depends what you count as genius, but possibly Alexander the Great.

He was tutored by Aristotle, who was probably a significant contributor to his success.

Aristotle teaching him about "beings" doesn't really help in the battlefield

suppiluliuma was pretty damn good, yeah

I think it did help. Considering how Alexander played his battles like a game of chess and won every time, even when vastly outnumbered.

He won because he was able to out-think every other general. He was able to figure out the most likely thing they would do, and then counter it.

Letting your infantry commanders mass and choose a position and then flanking at the right time is not "chess" and it has nothing to do with philosophy.

Fuck off with your autism. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that getting tutored by one of the greatest minds of the time would help you outhink the opposing general.

The first military genius was some faggot with a rock 12000 years ago

I wasn't taking it literally, having a good tutor for a normal education has no bearing battlefield success. Learning philosophy and debate skills doesn't get you inside the head of the enemy, period. You call me an autist yet you try to make the assertion that Aristotle had something to do with Alexander's success without any evidence or logical sense. Learning to counter an argument does not help you whatsoever in learning to counter a chariot charge.

Not to mention most of Alexander "genius" had to do with his father and his subordinates.

lugalzagesi, or maybe sargon the great, he invented the bowman cart
