She was so successful, but obviously the end results were cataclysmic, because she committed suicide. No, she's actually a bad example, because not only is her suicide debatable, one can't state with any certainty that her success drove her or played a part in it. Well yeah, success can make you strive to go further, that's obvious. But she still killed herself in the end. obvious child Posted at 4:36 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from Apotheosis at 2:23 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Pyrrhus of Epirus. That's probably the best example. You can play that battle in Rome TW, it's fucking hard though, even on easy to win. But then again, you're not suppose to win.
