Quote:it seems silly to me to have levels that are unplayable.
In 1995, Impossible was unplayable. It took years for people to beat it. Who knows what the future holds? If you had already beat the hardest level you'd have quit playing. So instead of complaining about how it's too hard, try some radical strategies. That's what Impossible level is all about. Maybe it's only viable with a Myrran start due to fewer neighbors. Maybe you always need Warlord. Maybe playing on Huge world is a non-starter because the CPs will always find you quickly with scouts. Figure it out!
It's too hard? So why not use the 11 book start to try to beat it? I think that's the entire point of Impossible, to throw the kitchen sink at you and get you to really go all-out. One of my pet peeves of MoM is having to intentionally tone down my starts. I want to really hit the game with everything I've got without feeling like I cheated or broke the game.
