[Squirrelloid]

Thanks to the vets for playing. Namad certainly did some things I didn't expect, and I was totally unprepared for the badassedness that is Ashdod in our first battle. ('My dai-bakemono archers are awesome, I can take a handful of Sheshai Anakim!... what are Sheshai Anakim?') Yeah...

(To be totally fair to me, the only response I got to that claim was 'they're Ashdod's cheaper sacred' - which did nothing to dissuade me).

I was honestly surprised Namad played as conservatively as he did. I would have rushed straight for one of the n00b players to stop them from building up, probably pushing NE or NW to minimize the amount of front opened up (and it makes possible Ermorian support against that player). If I had been pressed I would have been in poor shape since I needed to get good evocation online to really deal with those giants.
