I'd also like to bring up the apparently-planned Sun Tzu vs. Ivan the Terrible by Deathblade, which is unfair for obvious reasons. I did plan that battle when I first joined the wiki, EA. But after consideration, I decided not to do it due to the obvious unfairness. How could it be unfair? it's like a fight between two different individuals, after all. Sun Tzu got the crappy weapons but is an excellent war leader while Ivan has great weapons but sucks at war leadership.

I'm pretty sure people brought it up because of the massive technological advantage Ivan has. I mean his muskets and gunpowder weapons will wreck Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu is excellent in waging war, but in a small fight typical in this wiki he can't compete against a guy carrying a gun.

And also, you are seriously underestimating Ivan. He wasn't the best but he didn't entirely suck at leadership. The guy created almsot all of the current size we see of Russia today, and probably fought more wars and battles than Sun Tzu.
