And I'm reasonably sure AI's been a better defender than Dhal was. AI plays longer turns, at least.
Yeah, I remember and read again that discussion. It did not really reach a conclusion in my eyes so I just assumed that things had solved themselves. I somehow trusted that if AI would be in control many players would raise their voice against it.
I have to say that as BGN I would not be comfortable with fighting against an AI. Maybe if we were only talking about an 1-tile island or something like that. So far I have always liked BGN, but now I'm a bit disappointed.
Reg the play level you might be quite right. Although Dhal did whip defenders in PB13, which is a fair bit better than 2 pointless revolts performed by AI..
Overall I think now after experiencing PB13 & PB18 I have to just recognize that I have generally too high expectations reg how people will play out a losing situation. Everyone just can't be Mardocs. And btw, even though Azza generally gets critique for many things I appreciate it very much that he logs in pretty fast every turn and whips those defenders that he has the ability to. It's not a pleasant job and many others after losing simply don't care enough for those random people in the internet and just happily screw the game.

On the plus side (for me), I can go back to lurking...
Nah, it's not your fault at all. People including us should have just paid more attention and asked Gawdzak to just whip and fortify defenders or something like that. And as said, I think BGN should have raised his hand that this is not ok, as it's now evident that he is really fighting against AI.
