Default Re: 101 uses of Death 10 pretender

Its rather a specialized tactic. It either works really REALLY well in an MP game as a surprise, or it fails miserably and early.

But I have a number of such variations in my bag of tricks. Having a favorite nation with a favorite strategy that does well in MP games is kindof a baseline. Everyone should have that. But if everyones baseline is too average then the game is just a really long juggling for position. In a game with many people playing their middle-of-the-road strategys, an extreme strategy has a chance to shake things up.

If you cant beat em or join em,
then at least try to surprise them.
