Mod Spotlight ~ Divide et Impera
The winner of the combined 'Steel' section of the 2018 TWC Modding Awards was Divide et Impera, DEI took on other Rome II mods and mods from Attila and Thrones of Britannia and won by a substantial margin.

Dick Cheney who won the first ever PotF with Significance of Teutoburg Forest, has had another success with his recent tie for first place with Who was Alexander's greatest teacher? multiple candidates are discussed but perhaps the most interesting is:

Another winner with a military theme was Cyclops with Why was flanking so effective?, here's a taster:

Less centralized ("civilised") societies bring warriors to the field when each individual decides to come. Complex societies have conscription and other forms of coercion, material rewards, intangible rewards , religion and so on that allows masses to be mobilised and moved. Part of these systems is practicing in formation, and the line of battle is a very old and successful institution.
