Erikson is magnificent with the military part and GRRM is equally magnificent with Politics.
Nice observation mate although the poiltics do kick in more as you get further into DHG and MOI. For me the world building of Erikson is also peerlees other than Tolkien.

The magic systems are also fairly mind blowing the further you get into the sereis, especially in MOI. WOW!!!!!

Certianly agree that Martin and Erikson are both different but still brilliant.

Bye now..
