| Centurion | You'd have to define a period to narrow it down a bit?? I mean Sparta and Rome had excellent training but put them up against a modern army....... you get the picture. |

| ICBM | Indeed there is no one perfect answer. But I didnt mean whos going to win on one vs one. I basically meant who recieved the toughets and hardest training. take the Spartans at their peak for example. Those boys went through hell. See the discipline of the Roman legion. Basically, talk about the best military training, as well as who were better in tactics etc... we should enjoy it really |

| Tribunus Laticlavius  | The harsh environment, constant intertribal warfare and the blending of horsemanship, survival skills and archery made the Mongols (probably) the most terrifying force ever seen in human history. It can be noted that because they grew up with war and struggle for survival as a constant everyday things, this qualifies as the best possible training system. It cannot be intentionally implemented. There is a lot of evidence in favor of this throughout human history. It was always the nomadic tribes of Central Asia that overthrew the greatest of empires and cultures. As far as intentional training, the Romans probably proved theirs to be vastly superior on the battlefield better than any other.

| ICBM | well true to the mongols. They were quite fascinating really. And also about the Romans. I believe the Romans were better in terms of military, overall that is. Due to their more 'modernized' ways and methods that were put to use in their military force. |

| Can you hear me now?  | I think that would be Spata's military. They begin to train kid at 4 or 5 years old until 20 years old.

| Centurion | Mongols ahd the numbers, and the bows with a longer range. training, well they started to ride before they could walk. So the storys go.. Hmmm..... Romans defeated them at Cholon. Very bloody battle, but discipline and superior tactics helped a great deal. More modern times the Peninsular army of Great Britain was pretty good. They beat the French. |
