Agreed, would be great to get a few more discussions going on different peoples point of views.
(I would answer you directly Magic, but I feel it's going off on a tagent that only applies to a select few, I will say though that mass recruit and 2 don't really belong together).
So far from my point of view, I feel the X-men vs TP war won't have a winner, we will noble each others members that are inside each others clusters and then throw some nukes and a few nobles here and there but for anything to be effective everyone would need a lot more cats and a lot more nobles.
I am interested what OWN and AoT will do and if VGK's can live it out in the long run or has fallen to far behind to sustain themselves.
we will see
I have seen some interesting ideas and attacks being sent at your people so i have the feeling a lethal plague will land at your core soon
Viking problem is they are all turtles like All RED their whole idea is to try and wait it out and try to bring some sort of coalition against the top 1 tribe.
-I strongly suggest if any viking here read this forum you change your tactics. While defence is stronger than offence(A very powerful stack can withstand many nukes) you got less options.
1. your unable to counterattack, back time... if you only defend and only got defence.
2. your unable to farm properly(the enemy will obviously empty all your barbs)
3. your on the defence, what makes you think they will attack just your stacked village? no they will attack different targets...
4. defence takes longer to build than offence. Sure HC is very fast to build takes what? a week to build 2k? or was it 14 day w/e. I will just throw my 2500LC 300 rams and as many zerk as possible(900) and wipe out the HC. obviously LC is big and strong vs HC rest in pepperonis.
so i would say... vikings are dying. they are pretty much cutt off from each other.
AoT are pretty interesting. they are south of T-P. pretty dangerous position for some T-P players but we got our strongest players there. Players that could give AoT a run from their money.
I think they will try to stay neutral and try to grow as strong as possible.
OWN the same, is at the north/east, if i was their strategy planner. I would stay partly neutral, i would make a strong compact line and noble as much as possible in the north/northeast, especially out to the outer rim so you got defence village that nobody will attack and send troops many hours out. I would also make some OP to take out the all red and X-men in northern provinces so they can't be a danger.
All red? well they have decided to restart. Not all of them yet. but well they got like 37+ villages at the rim now(fast counting with map generator) basically they either try a second time building up from the rim or they have quit. I think they should make a proper pre made for EN21 because it will take them so long. and when they finally reach T-P again you gonna have ART, Lol.ita, fluffy with company at the south/west with tripple their points and villages make them far more dangerous. I say they are dead.
