Re: The Cheapest Trick in the Book!
If we are talking about your chances at victory, well then yes, you will likely be unable to win. Exceptions will exist. Possibly more often then you think. I just didn't like the absoluteness of your quote.
I'm personally not a big fan of the whole choke point thing by the way. In most cases I'd rather out maneuver my opponent then hold him in some Mexican standoff. That's why my castles are more likely to guard magic sites then they are to guard a worthless canyon. If an opponent uses castles at choke points against me and the castle doesn't protect anything worthwhile, I generally move on. It always surprises them that I don't behave exactly like the AI.
