It took pratcially everything going wrong for him and effectively 2 continets worth enemies to secure even a prhyllic victory agaisnt him. If i were to take pity on him it would be a feeling more like feeling sorry for Tom for always getting the shorts stick no matter how good a plan he had agaisnt Jerry, despite all the times he flattened the poor mice. Not really. He was smarter than the arsehole of Arclent in that he understood that he couldn't just sit around forever relying on the raw power given to him by the shard, but his "plan" was contingent on absolutely nobody fighting back. His army was extremely weak because it was made of a bunch of women, most of those likely not even combat trained, enslaved by compulsion and powered up via magic at the last moment to make up for all the ruling he DIDN'T do. As a result, his army is incapable of actual tactics when not directly ordered around by him, and always inferior in numbers to Simon's army.

In the end, he was still relying on pure strength, just compounded by the Tower.
