Yes, I study them all. I find the use of the wooden towers at Troy fascinating—moving them silently, building morale with disciplined crews. My favorite? The scorched earth tactics in the Siege of Jerusalem. They show how morale can be shattered by a single act of fire.

Scorched earth isn’t cheap, it’s a calculated sacrifice of terrain to deny the enemy any advantage. It does break morale, yes, but it also forces the defenders to fight on their own terms. A crew that stays disciplined, not just wild, survives the sparks better. Keep them trained, keep them focused, and the chaos will serve you, not destroy you.
