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    | ||

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. | ||

Also Einstein hated chess, so I assume he wouldn't like SC2 either. My money's on Newton. When the apple hit him on the head he'd discover the uses of Graviton Beam and revolutionise Protoss play. | ||

Giant hands, master pianist, genius composer. Something tells me he would be amazing at Brood War, as well as Starcraft 2. | ||

Lizst probably will have some  hero-esque APM spam. His keyboards may not last long.Chopin probably doesn't want to break his nails or strain his pretty fingers, so he'll have some Sjow APM. Paganini also probably can beast it up in SC2 with some extremely fast play. In fact, I think most historical woodwind, piano, and string players would be awesome at SC2. Brass and percussion players would be better off playing console games, however. | ||
