I found this little test to see what sort of historic general you are. It poses some interesting dillemas that you often also find in NS roleplay and I figured this test could therefore very well be used for NS generals, especially I am curious what sort of generals I might be facing. I posted this in II (more warfare) and I am expecting high guts and ruthlessness from all of you ;)

Link to test here. Clicky clicky. (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=13827291814577368116).

The results for Knootoss (the current Commander In Chief of the Knootian Defence Force) would be:

You scored 42 Wisdom, 77 Tactics, 35 Guts, and 41 Ruthlessness!

And compared to my age and gender... (I took my own RL age, which I suppose is about the age of most NSers...)

I scored higher than 2% on Unorthodox
I scored higher than 70% on Tactics
I scored higher than 2% on Guts
I scored higher than 32% on Ruthlessness


This makes sense. Knootian strategy would (generally speaking) be fairly conservative and not much very risk-taking. Blood and gore is also to be avoided as much as possible, but the KDF is not led by pacifist hippies.

The historic general in my case would be:
Julius Caesar
Roman military and political leader. He was instrumental in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gallia Comata extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, introducing Roman influence into what has become modern France, an accomplishment of which direct consequences are visible to this day. In 55 BC Caesar launched the first Roman invasion of Britain. Caesar fought and won a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and heavily centralized the already faltering government of the weak Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate Caesar in hopes of saving the Republic. The dramatic assassination on the Ides of March was the catalyst for a second set of civil wars, which marked the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire under Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus. Caesar's military campaigns are known in detail from his own written Commentaries (Commentarii), and many details of his life are recorded by later historians such as Suetonius, Plutarch, and Cassius Dio.

Mine:

42 Wisdom, 68 Tactics, 56 Guts, and 40 Ruthlessness

Compared to my age and gender (I'm actually fourteen, but I selected 1988 because I had to lie about my age):

I scored higher than 2% on Unorthodox
I scored higher than 53% on Tactics
I scored higher than 45% on Guts
I scored higher than 30% on Ruthlessness

Quite accurate. My nation's Founder and current administration is left-wing and favors diplomacy over force, so they don't intervene in military operations. My generals don't like risking a lot of lives, but like Knootoss, they aren't "pacifistic hippies".

The historical general in my case:
George MacClellan
Like General McClellan, you're smart enough to know what tactical decisions to make. However, the problem with McClellan is that he could never sprout the balls to act on his information, and in the end, that's why George McClellan is only a sidenote in the history books.

After graduating from West Point, he served with distinction in the Mexican War and later worked on various engineering projects, notably on the survey (1853-54) for a Northern Pacific RR route across the Cascade Range. Resigning from the army in 1857, he was a railroad official until the outbreak of the Civil War. In May, 1861, McClellan was made commander of the Dept. of the Ohio and a major general in the regular army. He cleared the western part of Virginia of Confederates (June-July, 1861) and consequently, after the Union defeat in the first battle of Bull Run, was given command of the troops in and around Washington. In November he became general in chief. The administration, reflecting public opinion, pressed for an early offensive, but McClellan insisted on adequate training and equipment for his army. In Mar., 1862, he was relieved of his supreme command, but he retained command of the Army of the Potomac, with which in Apr., 1862, he initiated the Peninsular campaign . The collapse of this campaign after the Seven Days battles was charged by many to his overcaution. In Aug., 1862, most of McClellan's troops were reassigned to the Army of Virginia under John Pope . After Pope's defeat at the second battle of Bull Run, McClellan again reorganized the Union forces, and in the Antietam campaign he checked Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North. He was slow, however, to follow Lee across the Potomac and in Nov., 1862, was removed from his command.

Personally, and thus for the generals of the Sucellan Armies:

" You are most like King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. You are ruthless and you live your life by the book. Little independent thinking, and lots of severed body parts for thinking it."

"A son of Ibn Saud , the founder of Saudi Arabia, Fahd served as interior minister and was named crown prince by his half-brother King Khalid. He was a powerful shaper of Saudi foreign and domestic policy under Khalid, on whose death (1982) he succeeded to the throne. Fahd encouraged limited modernization of Saudi Arabia, but the new constitution that established an appointed consultative national council left unchanged the royal family's control of the government. As a result of his prolonged illness following a 1995 stroke, de facto authority rests with Crown Prince Abdullah, his half-brother."

George Washington
Washington first served as a British officer during the French and Indian War, a war which he inadvertently helped to start. Afterwards, he resigned his post to marry Martha Dandridge Custis, a wealthy widow with two children. He was elected to the House of Burgesses and became a revolutionary leader at the outset of the American Revolution, attending both the first and second Continental Congresses. Washington was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775–83), leading the Americans to victory over the British, although sometimes in not the most scrupulous of ways. After the war, he served as president of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Because of his central role in the founding of the United States and enduring legacy, Washington is sometimes called the "Father of his Country."


Some of the questions are political and have little to do with tactics or military at all. And then there were a few questions where I like neither of the options that are given(and yes, there are other possibilities). Anyway, I guess I should be happy with the result

Taking it as an averaged shipmind...

You know nothing about tactics or war. You are docile and cowardly and the mere thought of violence is enough to make you wet yourself. Hate to break it to you, but chances are very good that you're not General material... not even BAD General material. Hell, you're probably not even a productive member of society. Why are you even here? Don't you have a peace pipe to smoke, or a war to protest or something? So here's to you and to whatever naive country that lets you vote....

Julius Caesar

My translation: The Xirniumite General Staff is gifted with exceptionally brilliant strategicians (93% tactics) who are masters of the art of waging war, use conservative yet reliable tactics that actually work (24% unorthodox), are not foolhardy or prone to seek glory for its own end (0% guts), and ruthlessly persue victory at all costs (68% ruthlessness).

Conservative, but smart, if cowardly - But that's hardly surprising. And equally ruthless, or rather, not. I'm surprised by the differences in the first three...

Well, taken from my own point of view, the result yielded was hippie, in spite of the fact that my wisdom and guts scores were higher than (if I may use the original poster as an example/standard) those recorded by Knootoss- apparently it takes guts to be a hippie!

Taken through the eyes of Tahuantinsuyu's new Sapa Inka, Pachacutec, the result was a ruthless but tactically deficient Vercingetorix. I would have thought that such great ruthlessness if true would have seen Vercingerotix act against the numerically inferior enemy instead of sitting around while he built fortifications... but who am I to argue with a guy who thinks that someone who kills prisoners and children is a hippie?

OOC: I'm this in and out of character....*grumble* How can I be King Fahd!

William Wallace
You scored 64 Wisdom, 81 Tactics, 69 Guts, and 50 Ruthlessness!

Like William Wallace, chances are you have no problem charging a larger, better trained, better equipped, better armed and armored English army with a band of naked drunken Scotsmen. I'm not contesting that you have balls. It's your brain function I'm worried about.

Scottish soldier and national hero. The first historical record of Wallace's activities concerns the burning of Lanark by Wallace and 30 men in May, 1297, and the slaying of the English sheriff, one of those whom Edward I of England had installed in his attempt to make good his claim to overlordship of Scotland. After the burning of Lanark many joined Wallace's forces, and under his leadership a disciplined army was evolved. Wallace marched on Scone and met an English force of more than 50,000 before Stirling Castle in Sept., 1297. The English, trying to cross a narrow bridge over the Forth River, were killed as they crossed, and their army was routed. Wallace crossed the border and laid waste several counties in the North of England. In December he returned to Scotland and for a short time acted as guardian of the realm for the imprisoned king, John de Baliol . In July, 1298, Edward defeated Wallace and his army at Falkirk, and forced him to retreat northward. His prestige lost, Wallace went to France in 1299 to seek the aid of King Philip IV, and he possibly went on to Rome. He is heard of again fighting in Scotland in 1304, but there was a price on his head, and in 1305 he was captured by Sir John de Menteith. He was taken to London in Aug., 1305, declared guilty of treason, and executed. The best-known source for the life of Wallace is a long romantic poem attributed to Blind Harry, written in the 15th century.

The Terminator
I have decided that you best fit the personality of the Terminator from T2. Rough and tough, not too bright, and nobody's killer, but he's just as obliged to shoot you in the knee. You fit the characteristics of a special forces soldier (Yes!), so in lieu of the fact that the Terminator is not a combat general..... oh screw it, you're the Terminator.

This is both me and my nation, and it does fit. My generals do prefer to use spec ops missions rather than mess around with full battles.

Here's mine:

Ulysses S. Grant
You scored 75 Wisdom, 62 Tactics, 62 Guts, and 57 Ruthlessness!
Like you, Grant went about the distasteful business of war realistically
and grimly. His courage as a commander of forces and his powers of
organization and administration made him the outstanding Northern general.
Grant, though, had no problem throwing away lives on huge seiges of heavily
defended positions. At times, Union casualties under Grant were over double
that of the Confederacy. However, Grant was notably wise in supporting
good commanders, especially Sheridan , William T. Sherman , and George H.
Thomas. Made a full general in 1866, he was the first U.S. citizen to hold that
rank.

Vercingetorix

Leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 BC. Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.

Tarleton... well, what can I say for a man who kills the wounded on the battlefield? Tarleton was a great tactician and cavalryman, and although he wasn't quite as evil as his counterpart in "The Patriot", Tarleton's morals were very definitely somewhat skewed. Now what does that about you?
Tarleton arrived in America with General Cornwallis and was a member of the patrol that captured General Charles Lee at Basking Ridge, N.J. He served with William Howe at Brandywine, Germantown, and Philadelphia. Tarleton went to Carolina as leader of a mixed force of cavalry and infantry and distinguished himself at Charleston and in the Carolina campaign before he was overwhelmed by Daniel Morgan at Cowpens. After the battle of Guilford Courthouse, he retreated into Virginia and was active in the Yorktown campaign. However, Tarleton is best known for stabbing the bodies of dead and injured revolutionaries to ensure that they wouldn't fight again.

Scipio
57 Wisdom, 75 Tactics, 62 Guts, and 53 Ruthlessness

You're most simillar to Scipio in the fact that you're smart and ruthless. Scipio beat Hannibal by luring him back from Western Europe (where he was crushing legion after legion of Roman soldiers trying to gain support from local tribes) by laying seige to his home country of Carthage. Hannibal returned to defend his home and was defeated at the Battle of Zama. Ruthless, but it worked.

Scipio was the conqueror of Hannibal in the Punic Wars. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio, and from a very early age he considered himself to have divine inspiration. He was with his father at the Ticino (218), and he survived Cannae (216). The young Scipio was elected (c.211) to the proconsulship in Spain. He conquered New Carthage (Cartagena) almost at once (209) and used the city as his own base; within several years he had conquered Spain. As consul in 205, Scipio wanted to invade Africa, but his jealous enemies in the senate granted him permission to go only as far as Sicily and gave him no army. He trained a volunteer army in Sicily. In 204 he received permission to go to Africa, where he joined his allies the Numidians and fought with success against the Carthaginians. In 202, Hannibal crossed to Africa and tried to make peace, but Scipio's demands were so extreme that war resulted; Scipio defeated Hannibal at Zama (202), returned home in triumph, and retired from public life. He was named Africanus after the country he conquered. His pride aggravated the hatred of his enemies, especially Cato the Elder , who accused the Scipio family of receiving bribes in the campaign against Antiochus III in which Scipio had accompanied (190) his brother. It was only through the influence of his son-in-law, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, that Scipio was saved from ruin. He retired into the country and ordered that his body might not be buried in his ungrateful city. Later he revealed his great magnanimity by his attempt to prevent the ruin of the exiled Hannibal by Rome.

Yarr, we're all tactics in the Rosian Armed Forces. We're also a bit crazy too.

You're reckless... a little like Custer. Make sure you know what you're up against before you charge into battle. But, that being said, Custer was one of the more successful generals of his day. He was a graduate of West Point and one of the more senior officers in the Union army. Custer had a distinguished career until his untimely demise at Little Bighorn.

In the comprehensive campaign against the Sioux planned in 1876, Custer's regiment was detailed to the column under the commanding general, Alfred H. Terry, that marched from Bismarck to the Yellowstone River. At the mouth of the Rosebud, Terry sent Custer forward to locate the enemy while he marched on to join the column under Gen. John Gibbon. Custer came upon the warrior encampment on the Little Bighorn on June 25 and decided to attack at once. He divided his regiment into three parts, sending two of them, under Major Marcus A. Reno and Capt. Frederick W. Benteen, to attack farther upstream, while he himself led the third (a little over 200 men) in a direct charge. Every one of them was killed in battle. Reno and Benteen were themselves kept on the defensive, and not until Terry's arrival was the extent of the tragedy known.

He was proclaimed dictator for life, and heavily centralized the already faltering government of the weak Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate Caesar in hopes of saving the Republic. The dramatic assassination on the Ides of March was the catalyst for a second set of civil wars, which marked the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire under Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus. Caesar's military campaigns are known in detail from his own written Commentaries (Commentarii), and many details of his life are recorded by later historians such as Suetonius, Plutarch, and Cassius Dio.

Scottish soldier and national hero. The first historical record of Wallace's activities concerns the burning of Lanark by Wallace and 30 men in May, 1297, and the slaying of the English sheriff, one of those whom Edward I of England had installed in his attempt to make good his claim to overlordship of Scotland. After the burning of Lanark many joined Wallace's forces, and under his leadership a disciplined army was evolved. Wallace marched on Scone and met an English force of more than 50,000 before Stirling Castle in Sept., 1297. The English, trying to cross a narrow bridge over the Forth River, were killed as they crossed, and their army was routed. Wallace crossed the border and laid waste several counties in the North of England. In December he returned to Scotland and for a short time acted as guardian of the realm for the imprisoned king, John de Baliol . In July, 1298, Edward defeated Wallace and his army at Falkirk, and forced him to retreat northward. His prestige lost, Wallace went to France in 1299 to seek the aid of King Philip IV, and he possibly went on to Rome. He is heard of again fighting in Scotland in 1304, but there was a price on his head, and in 1305 he was captured by Sir John de Menteith. He was taken to London in Aug., 1305, declared guilty of treason, and executed. The best-known source for the life of Wallace is a long romantic poem attributed to Blind Harry, written in the 15th century.

Ulysses S. Grant
You scored 81 Wisdom, 54 Tactics, 67 Guts, and 55 Ruthlessness!

Like you, Grant went about the distasteful business of war realistically and grimly. His courage as a commander of forces and his powers of organization and administration made him the outstanding Northern general. Grant, though, had no problem throwing away lives on huge seiges of heavily defended positions. At times, Union casualties under Grant were over double that of the Confederacy. However, Grant was notably wise in supporting good commanders, especially Sheridan , William T. Sherman , and George H. Thomas. Made a full general in 1866, he was the first U.S. citizen to hold that rank.

Julius Caesar
You scored 59 Wisdom, 77 Tactics, 47 Guts, and 72 Ruthlessness!

Roman military and political leader. He was instrumental in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gallia Comata extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, introducing Roman influence into what has become modern France, an accomplishment of which direct consequences are visible to this day. In 55 BC Caesar launched the first Roman invasion of Britain. Caesar fought and won a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and heavily centralized the already faltering government of the weak Republic.

Personally, not surprised. The Imperium has a reputation for cautious but powerful tactics, incredibly ruthless punishments, and a good deal of other brutality. Or at least, I'm trying to develop one. ;)
