User blog:Thornclaw Braveheart/Ancient Commanders Tourney

I know I make the worst promises for battles evah, but I'm going to take chances, Zeus dangit! In this tourney, which I hope gets off the drawing board, different leaders of the ancient world (of which I mean before 400 CE) will be fighting each other. Not an original idea, but many warriors here haven't made an appearance yet! Many "the Greats" in here, especially Alexander the Great, Cyrus the Great, Ramesses the Great, and Shapur the Great.
