Good to know James, good to know

Heh, looks like the list of people who don't want to Karlem to win this game is growing thin, very thin.

-----

Some things I've learned from this game:
-I'll never again take growth scale because I'm blood nation.
-I'll never again take luck scale as any nation (Mictlan being the possible exception).
-I'll never again take Heat3/Cold3 unless my important troops have at least fire/cold resistance 50.
-Beware the NAP trap! I think Patala was the victim of this in this particular game.
-In most cases manual site searching isn't beneficial thing to do. Even in late age where site freq is lower.

I know I am

lol that was a reply to James about the trembling

Karlem · #**224** April 15th, 2008, 05:43 PM

Zenzei, about the luck thing. I completely disagree. Luck makes turmoil a possitive scale

.

O3L3 is wonderfull too, lots of markets and forts for free. Test it.

H3/C3, well, I allways take H3/C3 if nation has even 1 degree of H or C in its description, however only if the encumbrance of my main units is not high to avoid fatigue.

I like the NAP trap sentence. Quite true.

Manual site searching is usefull in the early game or to begin a new path, otherwise if you have the gems cast remote searchs.

Yes, turmoil & luck have an obvious synergy but every time I take the combination it just doesn't seem to work out so well. I think reliableness of order/misfortune is better than randomness of turmoil/luck.
This inspired new words of wisdom:
-Beware the luck scale trap! It tempts you with national heroes and cool events but in the end order prevails.

Order and luck together certainly are nice but you're going to have hard time getting it without going for scales god. I like active pretenders.

Seems that James was not completely sincere when his wrote his post.... let's see how this evolves but 3 on 1... I now know what Jomon felt

.

I, for one, am glad Arco has decided to fight Mictlan after all. The actual amount of help Arco will be able to provide remains to be seen but Ulm is hopeful.

Karlem, I don't think you are even close to the situation Jomon was. Jomon got totally overpowered(all the leaders vs him) but Mictlan certainly has a good chance of winning this war because it's only clear leader vs. some runner ups. However, I will do everything I can to make sure hideous Mictlan lies in ruins at the end.

PS: Karlem, only three more turns to go.

Karlem · #**228** April 17th, 2008, 11:54 AM

Good chance? Are you kidding?

I do not think I am so ahead to win this war, 3 on 1 is too much for me.

Zenzei · #**229** April 17th, 2008, 12:03 PM

Yeah, I'm sure all those Jaguar Warriors and Ice/Arch Devils you have provide no punch at all.

Not to mention they are supported by your huge gold & gem income.

Aezeal · #**230** April 17th, 2008, 02:32 PM

Arco can't do anything because I'm going after him.. he just wants the support of the rest against me should they win and take down mictlan.

Btw Karlem I think the chances are about 50-50 now we'll see how it goes

and arco declaring doesn't change a thing he's just trying to flee from me which won't work in any case.

Zenzei.. his income isn't all that... his upkeep is low though..

I have same income... so the graphs say... btu I have 50% upkeep or more...
