(Metal mesh is optional, adds structure and makes the ********** easier to place) You'd have to make a load bearing rig to go with the chest piece though, it's really heavy.

Drop out today, success is on the way!

He didn't just conquer all of Asia. He did so with an army of disparate mongol tribes who had been fighting amongst themselves for centuries, and have never before been unified into a single army under a strong, tactical leader.
What made Genghis Khan great wasn't that he made the largest continuous land empire in history, but that he literally made it from scratch. He was born a Chieftain's son, but his father was killed and his family was exiled. His mother taught him how to survive in the wild, and he did so for a couple of years. He went from being homeless and mostly alone, to eventually becoming one of the greatest leaders in history.

kanatana (02/12/2013) [-] Also, as one Cracked article pointed out, he was a brilliant leader, and knew how to hold onto his power and position. When his people began to grow complaisant, he rounded up his top people and conquered more **** . That's right: conquering Asia was at least partially a team building exercise.

mhden ONLINE (02/12/2013) [-] Alexander was tutored by Aristotle in science and the political arts, and he received a complete education in military tactics and strategy from the great Macedonian generals, Antipater and Parmenion. He had his first diplomatic experience while he was still a child, when he received the *********** of Persia during his father's absence. At the age of eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry in a victorious charge which won the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC.
And he did reach Central Asia ...

The Romans had quite a bit of education as well, to support their conquest. Military tactics, economy, politics, logistics.. They had quite the well maintained empire, with magical fairy princessistration to back it up, hence, a lot of education was needed for this.
Though, the Mongols invaded even a part of Europe, aside trampling every power in Asia, making them the biggest empire ever built.
But he used different tactics: kill everyone who fights, and everyone who lived with those who fought against us. Then destroy everything they had, regardless of whether they were alive, and move on again.
Despite lacking education, and his young age, Genghis Khan managed to build a gigantic empire. Because he had practical experience, and an incredibly genius mind. But he didn't leave much cultural heritage behind.
Lesson learned from this? School doesn't guarantee succes, but it does give you a head start, and you're likely to build something for the generations coming after you.
