Default Re: PBEM game: Entwined Destiny

Lets leave the ToW map with TA. Either everyone fights to the bitter end or people will forfeit and declare a winner. I feel the games that are the most fun have no victory conditions.

With victory conditions a pure rush strat can win the game. With TA then you need a strat with a balance between rush and hoard. I personally feel that if you sit and hoard 100% that you are too vulnerable to be taken out in a single turn. In another game Boron sat and hoarded the entire time and Thufir in a single battle destroyed Boron because he lost all his hoard item carriers and all his defenders etc. I do not believe it is unbalanced because a straight hording 100% strat does leave you vulnerable if a neighbor rushes you. Boron is always lucky and seems to never be in a war with anyone so he is allowed to hoard. That is not the fault of hoarding but the fault of his neighbors being nice to him lol. I would like to see no victory conditions because I am extremely curious how everyone will play the game out in the theatre of war map.
