MP: new NoooB Game, (Running)

[Jiggymike]

OK NOW I'm going AI or you can get a sub if people like finishing up lame duck games. Threw everything I had at him and still lost my cap despite relieving him of half his commanders before the battle. It was a good first game, thanks for the opportunity and well played by Agartha.

Good switch in tactics JMike. That was a painful turn, but still well worth it to gain a capital fort.

One tip you might want to keep in mind for your next game if you do go AI now is that you are better off putting some space around your capital before putting another fort, since Arcos has a good admin level (50) and they cannot use it to collect resources from provinces that have other forts. This is especially useful since their stronger elite units require a lot of resources to build.

Yeah I did a poor job with a lot of my strategy: all my forts ended up in the wrong spots, my pretender was pretty useless, and my research was sloppy. Still I was big enough that I should have been able to put up a better fight.
