Ive been thinking about this for a while...
I mean, you have the great generals of the past such as Hannibal and Alexander, but there are other clever minds from the past...
How would the great scientists and minds fare; the likes of Einstein and Archimedes?
How would the whizkids of the early computer age fare.. such as Berners-Lee?
Anyway, my opinion is Alexander due to his tactical brilliance, but there are so many historical greats of the past...
What is your opinion?
Reasoning would also be cool

Must be a jazz pianist; classicle pianists are buildorder robots.

Hmmm for a game as young as SC2 I would have to pick Galileo. It seems like he would think of his own builds and play an unorthodox style that would probably bring a lot of controversy and have him slammed at the start, but more widely accepted later on, as a pioneer in the games development.

Eh, not really sure any of them would do well given the nature of their "jobs" or lifestyle. I would also be reluctant to pick anyone based on intellectual qualities alone. I think I'd also go with the pianist of choice.
Pretty sure BoxeR qualifies as a historical figure though.

Bruce Lee. That guy had crazy fast-twitch muscles.
|
Napoleon or Alexander imo for sheer strategic brilliance. Casanova's also an outside chance with his confidence and dexterity.
Xerxes would be #1 for macro alone if his army control wasn't so terrible

Hitler for brilliant economic management and rommel for great tank control.

He'd attain a small but manageable army and only replenish it when they died, and even then it would take too long because only the best would breed to be soldiers.

Discipline and self diligence > LOL i flanked an army

Exactly what I was thinking.
