I learned a lot about Tribes strategy and tribe administration in my old tribe, and I hope to put that experience to work for AK.

A note on the name. It's pronounced Lee-uhn-EYE-duhs, Leo or Leon for short. Leonidas was the Spartan commander at the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. It's the Alamo of the ancient world. Three hundred Spartans held off thousands of Persians in a narrow mountain pass for several days, giving the Greeks time to organize their forces. Eventually the Spartans were betrayed. The Persians found a path around the choke point and hit the Spartan position from both sides, killing them all.
