Historical Might-Have-Been Conquerors "Hurt-or-Heal" Game

[Alexander I]

Alright, this is Round 2 everyone!

This is a standard "hurt or heal" game, similar to OzzyKP's recent "Greatest Conquerors" game.

The Rules:

1. You must add 2 points and deduct 2 points each vote, so that the total points tally remains the same.
2. You can only vote once a day. Days are measured by the calendar date, not by 24 hour periods.
3. When any character has 0 points remaining, they are eliminated.
4. The last one standing wins!

The contestants for this competition are "Might-Have-Been" Conquerors, great generals who could have had a huge impact on the world if their campaigns hadn't been cut short, whether by defeat, disaster, or death. So without further ado, here are the candidates...

Cyrus the Younger
Pyrrhus of Epirus
Hannibal Barca
Cao Cao of Wei
Harold II Godwineson
Rodrigo “El Cid” Díaz de Vivar
Nur al-Din
Henry V of England
Oda Nobunaga
Gustavus II Adolphus, the Great
Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson
Louis-Napoléon (III) Bonaparte

Is Sitting Horse the bastard child of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse??

[loops]

Sabotai anyone?

His horses were munching grass a stone's toss from Vienna…

And then they receded.

If anybody else wants to add to the list, they are welcome to do so, but whoever you add should be major enough to make for a good "Might-Have-Been." New characters start with 2 points, and adding a new character counts as your positive vote for the turn.
