Intelligence being important in battle. I have just one question for you guys then. Who do you think survives a battle: someone who just throws themselves into the clamor of battle or someone who holds back and makes a plan of attack? I won't deny that battle can be a great deal of fun but just fighting for its own sake is little more than savagery. Now it's also true that luck and skill have a considerable impact on who survives a battle but the more battles one engages in the more likely it is that ones luck will run out. If or when that should happen does it not make sense that having an exit strategy (which may or may not involve retreating and regrouping) would be paramount to ones survival. After all battles are (along with everything else) quite Darwinian. Whether it's by virtue of luck, skill, experience, intelligence, or other factors the reality is that some will survive battle and others will either die or be wounded so badly that they cannot fight effectively anymore.
