Thanks for the complements Wraith...What battles did you think I was taking large risks in? I don't recall being in doubt of the outcome of most of the pitched battles during the game.

I have probably done a poor job of explaining my intention.
I did saw a few battles that might have gone the other way, for example when your nemedian warriors attacked Mictlan capital PD. Moral could have caused to rout if they would have taken some more losses.
Anyway, I was referring less to battles and more to your strategy. Since you were all the time on the attack sometimes on more than one front.

I'm also surprised that I'm the most aggressive player you've seen...I think I was playing nearly as aggressively as possible within the bounds of a winning strategy, but I'm sure there are some players out there that are more aggressive (though ultimately less effective). In fact I just met one in Swarm...he attacked me, ignored my efforts at diplomacy, and took me out of the game...however, I did enough damage to himself in the process that he's pretty much doomed now...especially since he just lost over 60 high-end units to the 63 PD I have in my last stand province.

I'm playing dominions MP since Dom PPP, but I think I have always played with more, how to call it, "moderate" (for lack of better term) aggression levels players. I've had the pleasure the play with and vs. some excellent players (some of them even participated in this game) but I think they're way less aggressive than the example you've set in this game.
Now, its possible that due to the growing amount of ppl playing dom-III MP that there are ever more competitive players that bring some fresh attitude and possibly strategies to this game (which if true, I find to be excellent).
As for your example of Swarm, let me comment from a different angle. I think these forums and the availability to all ppl to see everyones win/lose record makes the frequent winners (you probably are first amongst them
) become default targets in MP game. Interesting...
