Who is this famous, one of the most successful monarchs person?
And his guide.... it struggles.
You should probably rework every mention of utilization -- it (BE) doesn't work that way anymore.
Focusing on starving t/ms? That's a huge waste of resources, especially in hostile. Bad advice.
Shep bad these days, obviously -- but shep was significantly superior to both sage (which was pretty bad) and WH as a kd-wide strategy back then. You couldn't afford to run more than ~7 WH and hold your honor. Bad advice both now and then!
25% rax? Also bad, this guide predates DBE (and he doesn't recognize that running literally 10 rax buildings beats 25%, nor did he look at threshholds the way he probably should have)
not hitting for land in hostile in order to win the war... (bad strategy for getting an advantage as he indicates, good for getting a war by giving the opponent an advantage).
PKing....
Essentially, everything after section 2 seems flawed.
