As someone with way too much Arco practice, I'll just say this:
Slingers are surprisingly effective against low protection, no shield, mediocre movement units. They are also cheap, easy to mass, and capable of providing siege fodder.

This....

The indies do seem tough... it was on 5 but then again I thought renaming was on too so if its higher...:confused:

Re: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]
 

I think its set higher.

I am getting my arse handed to me big time. Plus I am attacking the "easy" pickings. The others, the BIG ones, will certainly take some beating.

I just checked and it's on 5...

Re: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]
 

LOL. Well if we were playing on 7 in that case, it might be into the 2nd year b4 I got my 2nd province.

Re: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]
 

Acro is really good on expanding... It is 11 provinces right now?

Re: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]
 

Yea. Everyone else is about even on provinces. Arco is pulling away a bit.

Re: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]
 

Arco is doing well, and I suspect some sloppiness on the part of other nations (myself very much included. I need to remember to test new strategies more thoroughly).

Re: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]
 

11 provinces, but that growth will be slowing as i have neighbours who obviously want to lay claim to land now.

Procyon: When I click on your name the dropdown gives me an option for Private Messaging (which wasn't there before so that is good), but then I still get a message that either you won't receive PM's or you aren't allowed. Not sure what's up.

Anyway. I got your message in game (Caelum). Wanted to reply back here so we don't have any unfortunate conflicts (I'll send more detailed message in game).

I am fine with spirit of the post. No need for hostilities between us.

The province on the other side of the bridge from you. I am next to it and will attack into it this turn since its on my side. If you are unsure what I'm referring to, send me a post back.

Cheers Mate!
