-Note 05. Concourse. Such a battlefield stands in the middle of a substantial territory and can be freely reached from any direction. Probably it consists of farmland and people travel across it in many directions throughout the year. One can imagine cavalry armies, armies of chariots and bowmen, or any kind of fighters with great mobility taking advantage of their freedom to flank the enemy, call in allies from the enemy's rear, etc. In such a great land with no natural boundaries there may be many separate domains. Some domains among them may be friendly with each other and others may be enemies. Anything that one might want to do in such an area could only be accomplished with the cooperation with one power group or another, so diplomacy and the making of mutually productive treaties is a necessity for the prudent military leader.\

+Golden Rule:\\
+Ali ibn Abi Talib (4th Caliph in Sunni Islam, and first Imam in Shia Islam) says:\\
+“O’ my child, make yourself the measure (for dealings) between you and others. Thus, you should desire for others what you desire for yourself and hate for others what you hate for yourself. Do not oppress as you do not like to be oppressed. Do good to others as you would like good to be done to you. Regard bad for yourself whatever you regard bad for others. Accept that (treatment) from others which you would like others to accept from you… Do not say to others what you do not like to be said to you.”
+—Nahjul Balaghah, Letter 31\\
