Only true if you are counting my units/commanders set on fire and flee/hold hold retreat. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

But, my progress towards the hill is slower than I hoped. Stupid 1-move hoplites http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

2.16, I hope you mean? Most recent version I know of unless maybe you're a beta tester. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Personally, it isn't that I'm underestimating them (and I think I've only lost once to indies), rather I have felt a need to make some gambles because of how other nations were doing.

For instance : Seeing Tien Chi's pretender massing more kills every turn without dying meant that I knew TC was taking a province a turn. To try and not fall _too_ far behind, I gambled against a province with heavy cavalry, and almost took it - killed all the HC's except a leader, might have won but my prophet paladin died, causing the troops to retreat.

Under other circumstances I would've waited the turn or two to bring more forces in, and possibly still should have. As it was, I was sorely tempted to try for them again with leftovers last turn, but didn't feel I could afford to lose troops twice.

Also handicapped a little by my choice of pretenders - I felt somewhat constrained to _not_ take advantage of foreknowledge of everyone else's pretenders and castles.

As is, I hope you'll be saving all the turns - I didn't look at the last game, but I'm definately curious to see TC's charge for the Hill that started on turn 1. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Can one of you please knock tien chi off the hill? All those turns are making me nervous http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: PBEM Game: King of the Hill 2 (Open)
 

I will knock T'ien Ch'i as soon as possible. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nay, don't worry, I have no strategy whatsoever, and T'ien Ch'i lives (or dies) by its strategy. They are the most versatible version around (and by far)... but you need to figure something to do with all their magic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I have the same problem in Song of the Blade: I have the brilliant idea, but not much besides that... All the opportunities I waste. *Sighs*

Re: PBEM Game: King of the Hill 2 (Open)
 

*huff* *puff* I'm getting closer to the hill! Now can I take it with what I have... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Sheesh with Pythium's income, he should be taking the hill any turn now.

Re: PBEM Game: King of the Hill 2 (Open)
 

Ermor build a temple on the hill? Interesting. I figured someone would build a lab but temple...? Very confident http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I suppose you've been pillaging it this whole time too? That would be smart.
