MAchiavelli wrote a book in 1520 called "Dell'arte della guerra" meaning The art of war. And on university i studied another book of him (Il Principe) which states how to act as an effective leader (i.e. Prince). Using all kind off tactics: nobel and not so nobel...
Oh well i liked the ideas grin grin : divide and conquer, backstab if needed, using fear as an instrument of surpression the people.

Quote:
"a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred." (Il Principe)
