How the heck did we end up with teams getting Mansa Musa of Inca and Huanya Capac of India?

Agreed with the above. However...

They're good at taking anyone down a notch, but they're particularly good at taking us, the scary good team with a chariot UU, down. I hope like hell that they're playing for themselves, and they have their own plan to win.
You really think they decided before the game started that they would try to throw it? Really??
They have a pitboss community. They even made a mod for it, for crying out loud. Of course they will try to do well for themselves.
I highly doubt that any team involved will vassal themselves at this point in the game. Everybody will be in for the win and the fun.
We are getting way too focussed on CFC/Apolyton/Spaniards here, I feel. We have a ladder team, a very large German team and two almost unknown French teams as well. I'd rather have us spread our paranoia evenly.  mh

Thanks for the reassurance. Now, our job is to convince them to take their aggression on someone else. We're vulnerable, but so is everyone else. Why, while Impis counter War Chariots, we're not going to build nothing BUT war chariots, and Impis own War Chariots less than they'd own regular chariots.
The logic feels twisted  (Also, having some kind of a no rush 20t turn rule helps them more than it helps us. Because an Impi rush will probably come after that, and Hunting makes them militarily vulnerable). fluffyflyingpig Wrote:How the heck did we end up with teams getting Mansa Musa of Inca and Huanya Capac of India? Look on the bright side. Without such a snake pick, and with no banned choices, there would be only a handful of Correct choices. Though Anything India is probably better than EXP/Ag/Wheel on Normal speed. However, if Nabaxo can beat Sommerswerd, then so can I

Are all their pitboss games in super crowded, warfest settings? Devil's advocate: Because they play so many pitboss games. Maybe they know Pacal of India is awesome, but for their 10th pitboss game they've played together they just want to mix it up. No rule that says every community has to view this game as more important than most others. Or...Seven's explanation below
