Honestly Illuminated One, i feel like i am in a very similar boat, i wouldn't consider myself a noob anymore, but i don't think any of the players here really are anymore. you are in a very powerful position, but its not like it was unfairly won. stick it out, and lets just see how it goes.

I really didn't consider myself a "noob" going into this game. I certainly wasn't a vet by any means but I understood the basics of what to aim for as far as early/mid/late game as well as some more advanced tricks as Lama has seen. Anyhow, I still learned a lot in this game, as I'm sure we all have and I think that not one of us who has made it this far in the game could be reasonably considered a noob at this point.

What it comes down to Ill, is if you're bored with the game or don't think you've a reasonable chance of winning, then do something to make it interesting for you again. Themactically, have your pretender go nuts and set yourself up with crazy goals and grand, over-the-top plans of attack. Use this game to experiment without having to worry about winning or not, it'll give us all something unexpected to deal with.

Well, it's not that the grand picture is not very interesting in this game, it's very tense. I don't think I don't have a reasonable chance of winning, might be might be not, although I will have some catching up to do.
It's that I'm really annoyed of how much "menial work" I have to do if I want to take the chance. Really if 10% of the game is decision making and the rest is just making clams, watching over provinces, checking that the scripts/equipment I made are equal to those I envisioned...
Well, enough whining, I guess I can indeed do some crazy stuff and suicide over it, but that wouldn't be to far from what I originally envisioned.

Yeah this game has convinced me that gem gens ruin games. I will be playing only non gem-gen games in the future, the micro is just too much.

Illuminated One · #**315** September 19th, 2009, 08:22 PM

Well, as the never dying advocate of gem gens I have to say that they are really not a micro problem for me - only that I'm forced to make as many as I can sucks hard.
The one battle against your archdevil took me 5 times as long to execute as all my clam stuff while the plan was laid out in 5 minutes.
And still I forget to not put my best caster into a spot where he is killed by friendly fire.

Well, since there are so many players who don't like when someone throws the towel I'll try to line up a sub.

Have you tried fever fetishes? The definition of micro.

Illuminated One · #**318** September 23rd, 2009, 02:56 PM

Yes, I have.

I have only 10 to generate some extra money, though.
