No one has posted in a while, so I thought it would be good to lay some smack talk down.

I pity da foo' who messes wit' Vanheim!!!!!!

Which one of you punks still thinks you can defeat meeeee?

After some careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that Vanheim is most likely a better faction than Ulm.

Gosh.
Your Quick Cunknown. And it only took you like 16 months to figure that out. I've got news for you though....R'yleh is a better faction than Vanheim.....

No way. Or rather you have to enlighten me because i praised Chris Vanheim also .

I need to stop the [censored] hoarding strat, it sucks compared to a good conquest strat.
If you hoard you likely survive a while and are one of the last 4-5 alive nations. So hoarding brings you more likely into the endgame, at least i almost always made it into the last 3-5 nations when i hoarded, so its my subjective experience.

But if you warmonger well you grow faster. The chance that you die by attacking the wrong guy or being gangbanged later is high, so the chance to make it into the lategame is lower. But the chance to win the game if you make it into the lategame is much higher.

There will be almost always one warmonger nation that warmongers so well that it grows faster than anyone. Then you can't stop them anymore even if you hoarded.

I could only hoard moderately in this game unfortunately, overall there is no way to beat the mictlan juggernaut for me i guess.
I might be close in gemincome, but your gold+blood income exceeds my income in these resources by far.

And Chris you are even another dimension . Amazing what you have achieved with vanheim .

I think hoarding is especially difficult in this game, because of the mods, but mostly because of the huge number of magic sites out there. If every province you take is worth around 3-5 gems, hoarding seems to be less valuable.

Boron, you're making me blush!

Growth-3 has hooked me up in this game, it's incredibly good with the mods. And more important, I've been way out of the way for most of the game, so no one has paid any attention to me. The recent Atlantis offensive against me was the first attack made by another player on my home area... and it's turn 70-something (80 something?)! I had better be powerful!

And still, the Mictlan/Ctis alliance looms large. They will be hard to beat.

Good game man.
Sorry you got stuck there in the corner. Hope you had fun.
