I wanted to play this game without any diplomacy, but after few debates with Haram and after few last turns, I changed my mind and, at least, will try talk to you, that I could have a clear consciousness after this game.
Short explanation of few things - diplomacy and others:
Most importend reason of my behavior - time, but not only one. First of all, when this game was starting, I lost my main teammate - Haram. He doesn't want to play, cause of the map (too large for him - for me as well, cause at the end I was expecting at least 25% smaller), but I talk to my close friend, Geo, and he agree to my terms (in short and in simplify - I will take 65% of a game and he take a rest). We choose our leader and nations (it was rather entertaining than competiting option on this map for us). I make few turns and was waiting for him to start playing too, but he was prolonging it. Finally, after many turns, he resign. I was sounding few people in my country, but found no interest, so I make simple decision - no diplomacy and most simple strategy - building large army and than choosing an easiest target :P. I decided to completly cut off diplomacy mostly cause of time reasons - didn't want to play second full time dyplo game (we have our national game in Poland - DT's team members are playing too) and most importend thing - writing in foreign language cost me a lot of time (I don't like to make easy errors, so I often use a dictionary - I understand a lot in english, but I don't use it alone, so I have some troubles with creating correct sentences). I was thinking about resigning too, but it's hard to find a replacement, so I stay (didn't want to destroy a game flow) and start too develop my "brilliant strategy"
.
2 things occur, that completly delay me a lot - first - iron - few terrible locations, far away from my initial borders; secend - my laziness - I didn't destroy a warrior only because I would must make a war to destroy it and then try to make peace (and to make peace you need a diplomacy...). Consequences was easy to predict - you made a contact with DT and form a defensive pact (I didn't know for sure, if it is still active - I get a short message from DT in diplomatic window long time age) and I could do only one thing to deal with it - make a much bigger army :D.
Because I'm playing this game much more for fun, than for a victory (but it doesn't mean, that I will play against my nation and don't use an army when I must), I choose to attack DT team. Why? Cause they had the slightest chances for winning from all of my neighbours. I made this decision after long discussion with Haram - he told me that in simplify - "You rather don't fight for winning, so why spoil a game to a player that played well. I agree with him and attack that's why I attack DT.
Why am I writing now? Answer is easy - first I don't want to spoil your game completly - both of you must keep a bigger army thanks to me (higher costs and lost hammers) and at least give a chance for a peace and second thing, after last turns I felt a blood lust in my vains and I thanks to it found a new will to play (other thing is that in future I want to check one strategy that I never use before in practice).
I don't know, if you want to come to an agreement with me, but if so, than I have 2 easy conditions - carte blanche in England and long term agreement (NAP or even a DP).
PS I shyly admit, that I don't even check this account earlier, so I didn't read any messages hear.
