pindicator plays epic4

Didn't really play so much as cried foul against the pRNG Gods as they smote me for my blasphemous ways. Then they smote me again for good measure.

Epic 4 report within

There's a reason I posted the first "finished" post in the main thread.

That really was a short game. Bad luck with the combat results.

BTW, your link to Adventure 4 on your main page does not work.

Hi,

Ouch, bad luck indeed! However, you wrote that after you lost the first two warriors, you changed Rome to max shields to complete the archer. I had optimized Rome for max shields as soon as I had Archery, as I feared exactly what had happened to you - sometimes it's better to be cautious than lucky.

On my first attempt, I didn't have max hammers going after archery came in, and that definitely was what lost me the game. But my warriors had been surviving very well, and I had just promoted one to Shock, which (in my mind) figured I would survive a few more turns.

When I played a replay, I did go max hammers for the first archer, and lost anyway. That was really frustrating.

I'm sorry if my tone was a bit harsh in my report. I wrote it not too long after I had lost those games and I was very frustrated. In the end I decided not to temper it and to keep my initial response. I do want to say that I have had a lot more fun in games since. Perhaps my expectations have gone down a bit since as well, and in playing more games I'm realizing that units that "shouldn't" win some battles will in fact win them more often than I expected.

Thanks for the site mention. I haven't really kept up on it, and I'll try to fix it tonight.
