MY ULTIMATE 20K GUIDE AFTER READING SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR in General Discussion

    Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:

    He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
    He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
    He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
    He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
    He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.
    2. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
    To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.
    Neither is it the acme of excellence if you fight and conquer and the whole Empire says, "Well done!"

    By holding out baits, he keeps him on the march; then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him.What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.

    He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.
    Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy.
    the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

    Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected.An army may march great distances without distress, if it marches through country where the enemy is not.Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
    If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve.Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may know where strength is superabundant and where it is deficient.If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.By discovering the enemy's dispositions and remaining invisible ourselves, we can keep our forces concentrated, while the enemy's must be divided.
    Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.

                                  im looking for examples of some of these strategies they made to outplay their opponents in real wars. there were some general ones like make it seem like u r weak while u arent (that sf booster did it all the time lvl3), make it seem u too strong while u arent (can fool ppl who play with emotion and not logic and gamesense), and i forgot other ones gg
