The last great Roman general

The overall situation in Stilicho's time was already nightmarish. Plus, he was not that different from the other "generalissimos" (stealing O'Flynn term). He could have been a bit more successful in the short term, but no one had the strength or the resources to stop the overall decline for long.

For someone who tried (even if in a later date and in a shittier position), Majorian. And he got killed off by another warlord thanks to that.

Shut up Honorius

Honorius didn't care about riding the germanic bull as long as his cocks were happy and safe.

Aetius is my man.

Stilicho allowed politics to kek him
