Default Re: Turtlers and Rushers?

Either way can be a gamble. And can be done right or wrong.

Im not so much in applying it as "depends on the nation you are playing". I tend to say it the other way around, instead of the nation choosing your style, that your style might choose your nation. People tend to have a playing style that they feel natural in. Its their favorite way of playing. They should try everything of course but I feel that the best players (or at least the ones having the most fun) are those who decide on their style and then match it to the nation which best fits it. That would be true of turtlers or rushers. Those who play defensive researchers need to choose their nation for it just as those who prefer horde swarming would have to pick appropriately to that.

By the way I dont feel that those are the only two choices either. Guerilla, paratrooper, diplomat, ally, checkerboard, assassin, and dominion are all playable styles
