Default Re: Defeating the Talisman

So Undertakr, what exactly is the point of all this? You have pointed out nothing new to anyone. The tailsman is tough, but it's not unbeatable. It's only as good as the player using it. A skilled player will do well using just about any combination, and an unskilled player is going to lose even if they use the Tailsman.

It is impossible for anyone to come up with one strategy that will beat the tailsman player under every circumstances. But the same could be said about any other possible empire setup. I could come out here and say, "Organic race is the ultimate racial trait" and give my resaons why. You and everyone else could give me suggestions for beating someone using organic race, and I could then give you my plans for dealing with your stragegies. All of it is purely theoretical and doesn't prove anything. Any more than the fact that you and your fellow religious player were able to beat 9 other players.

I had a PBW game a while back where I was non-racial tech player. I had just various characteristic bonuses. I allied with another player that was organic I think and we cleared the game of everyone else, including religious players. What does that prove? Just that we did a better job in that particular game. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well I think that it will be a more interesting game trying to beat the talisman than playing with one every game...

And in one game I am getting hammered...... by a nasty combo of talisman and propulsion expert...

That is a nasty combo... Ships are too quick... and the player is a good player... But I am learning and a lesson out of a beating is far better to experience than walking away.

Well this is very disappointing. Can't you stop learning your lessons, and just carry on doing the things you were doing before? It'd be much easier for me.

Too funny...

In other games that I have joined which are full tech... I have designed a race I think that will hurt the Religious player... Now to test it out.

Mark I did not know you were a member here. Good to see you. Sorry about the insult of you being a good player

But hey you are beating Andres, Geo and myself very easy.....
