Is being a conqueror the most prestigious career possible?

History remembers great conquerors, moreso than even kings, queens, imperators and empresses. More than mere philosophers, artists, musicians, sculptors or architects.


The prestige of the art of conquest is such that any man of sufficient valour and daring is immortalized within stone tablets, papyrus scrolls and marble statues. Their influence and glory is everlasting, above those of inconsequential monarchs, unless they were both monarch and conqueror.


History does not favor financiers, statesmen or even businessmen such as the robber barons or oil tycoons in the gilded era. Humanity cares not for your ability to hoard gold, but rather to unite steel and fire under your banner.

The absolute top conquerors have cities named after their glory, empires formed from their valour. The prestige of having an university named after you pales in comparison to the likes of having over seventy cities across the world named after you (Alexandria).
