I know squirrel doesn't have a track record, but he has solid game knowledge.

Personally, I'd rank it

Exec,
Ossa
Hop
Squirrel...

Hop being short for Chrispedersen in this case

I am fairly sure the four would be (in no particular order):

Ano,
Ossa,
Chrispedersen,
Executor

Squirrel having written a guide (on the power he's playing!) and doing well in the one mp game I know he's in. He's doubtless going to become / already is a very good player but hasn't been proved to be so in mp yet

Yeah, i got to handwaive the lategame bits because lets face it, you've got mages with good ESD which means your late game is trivially referenceable. We'll see if it being common knowledge means I can actually apply it in a rational way.

(Not to disparage my guide - but much of its point was "you don't have to mitigate your dominion - it is a weapon").

heh heh

You completely trashed me in at least one game we played hop.
Utter destruction. And of course Exec has as well in Beer, Jim in Glory.

But thanks for the vote of confidence.

I'm thinking Dragar signing up so fast means he likes his new Abysia strategy. So do I = ).

ano · #54 July 2nd, 2009, 01:04 AM

What new strategy?

Dragar · #55 July 2nd, 2009, 01:05 AM

yeah, what new strategy?

ano · #56 July 2nd, 2009, 01:08 AM

Perhaps chris wants to share his new Abysia strategy with you, Dragar

We are now short of only two people, btw.

If my version of the game makes it tonight, I will gladly join this game. The BIGGEST problem will be the fact I am a complete newbie. This will be my first MP game, so I should only make up the numbers for the first 10-20 rounds, before getting smashed.

Perhaps it is better for you to join one of the newbie games that start from time to time?
Though I don't mind you joining I have to warn you that it won't be easy. Also, be positive. When you say yourself "I'll hold for 20 turns and then fall" you'll fall earlier. When you say "I'll do my best to be competitive" you'll last longer

I plan on attempting as many games as possible, newbie and vet games. At worst I will learn some scripting and tactics that work.

I don't play many games to just make up the numbers, so I will attempt to cause as much pain as possible.

Still, I have to wait for the game to arrive, which I hope it should be here by tonight or tomorrow.

I have faith in Black Sun Empire, he's a quick learner
