A master tactician could get away with this, while a new one would probably get called on it.

It’s an important detail to the story, I’m sorry you can’t seem to be able differentiate between a truly fictional story and embellished.

I don’t believe every Viking story I read, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist just because a god appears dude. Seriously.

I wonder sometimes how common sapience actually is in humanity.

Judging from your responses, it's rare.

Oh no. Someone that believes in the historicity of Zhuge Liang's specific actions has insulted me.

My ego will never recover.

(That was sarcasm, I can tell it needs to be spelled out for y'all)

Wouldn’t a sapient person understand that Vikings exist while stories also talk about how they walked with their gods…?

Look in the mirror dude.
