Unless, of course, that the gems you have on your commanders are there for a reason. In which case you have to reassign gems to every commander who happened by a laboratory each turn. Result: Extensive, pointless micromangement.

Well if player A, player B or player C were all the same size... and myself was twice the size of any of them .. There will be the one player(player_C) who says hey I will utilize my gold for other

Yes if player "C" was retarded. All 3 of them should attack you immediatly if they know what is good for them. You are twice their size. If they don't gang up now then all is lost. Comming in 2nd is still losing.

You'd be surprised at just how effective webs, especially web spit, can be against a lone SC. They bring the SCs defense down to 3, and force it to spend one of its moves breaking free, so they half the effectiveness, and make it so that all of your units can hit. Tangle vines work in much the same way.

I think Cohen misunderestimates how effective Machaka Spiders backed by Mandragorae are.

I completely agree... but the strongest player should still use his strength to try and intimidate the others. The biggest rebel should be the first one to go down.
Another method the strongest player can use is providing a good trading market for one or more players thus helping convince them to follow his demands.

I am sorry I misinterpreted you sentiment(?) I am only human.

Without more, this appears to be a non sequitur. [/QB]

Let me bend that in neon, then

I really do not like games where "caring to do lots of micromangement"="winning". I hope you can understand this sentiment. I also thought that dom2 was one of the games where this was not the case. Alas, I was wrong.

I should have left it at that, yes. But then I thought that we could mod us out of this. I have realized an hour ago that the server implementation does not allow that in several ways.

And now I'll leave these forums to cool off. Send me a private email if you need me for anything.

Quit lab-spamming, then.
