Good thinking, WS. They may have had tactics, but in the end Ghis lost three major wars (if I'm not mistaken) to Valyria. Historically, the Carthaginians lost three major wars to the Romans... and the Romans finally had the foundations of Carthage utterly destroyed. Interesting that Ghis still stands after Valyria perished. Perhaps the origins of the Unsullied lie in training men to face dragons in battle. Perhaps the name Slaver's Bay, where Ghis is located, got it's name from Ghis finding a way to live with Valyria instead of trying to rival it. But if anyone had plans (good or bad) to deal with dragons, it'd be Ghis. Maybe some old Grazdan will sell the information to Stannis, Euron, or Jon.
