Do we see a pattern yet? I cant believe how many people play this race without using the sneaks.

I can believe it, primarily because I've only played Man in a conventional, non-sneaky way, and been quite successful. Is the sneaking strategy competitive? Do you win with it? I ask, because I've never been in a game where that's been demonstrated (possibly because I've lead a sheltered life, but still...)

To invest in armies doing sneak tactics generally requires a long game on a large map. And truthfully Im not the one to answer the "can it win" question since thats rarely my goal. I rarely play MP and when I do its usually in one of two modes. Either to be the best ally I can be (which man/tuatha can do well) or in rattlesnake mode. Rattlesnake means I sit quietly building up until someone pisses me off, then Im all flood in his direction. I might not win those games but I have been instrumental in making sure that certain others didnt win.
By being spread wide on the map in hidden armies when other major players weakened themselves on each other I have been in position to suddenly move into first position but Im not aggressive enough to have made the best use of such luck
