Re: Eliminating a scorched earther=poor sportsmans
Dom3 is a "Highlander" game:
There can be only one.
Scorched Earth is more than just being annoying. If you are my (apparent) conqueror, why should I just let you? In fact, isn't it my DUTY to make things as hard as I can on you? What do you want, mere surrender?
Besides, maybe it isn't just you. I remember a game where my home lab was destroyed nearly every other turn, for no reason than just pure malice from the depths. Constantly rebuilding it was an immense drain on my cash, making me very weak at the start.
In the end, Scorched Earth is a tactic, just like any other. The fact that 'you don't like it' is just too bad. Pick another target then. "Knowing" that I am going to lose is no reason for me to lie down and take it.
Is it not my RESPONSIBILITY to fight to the end?
If so, then 'spoiling it for you' is the least of my worries.
Either way, you are going to get me. The difference is how hard I make it for you. If I make it easy then do not the other contenders have a claim of unfairness against me?
