They aren't exactly objective are they. I always get that feeling from his posts tbh but lately it's gone up another notch.

Ahahaha, I completely lost it when he started comparing total resource counts in the diplo screen... that's gotta be the most absolutely shameless empty bragging I've ever seen.
I wish sulla played more games tbh. It would be interesting to see how long he could keep up that tone without success.

I'm not sold on the idea of attacking someone who isn't backwards with rifles, drafted or not. Cavs just own them so hard unless you're attacking off boats.

This is fair but the counter is that when you are expounding with 100% certainty about a subject you need to be right. Sullla does say that he could be wrong here and there but I get the sense that this is more for effect than said with real conviction. The general tone of his writing (as I interpret it) is that he's right and that's all there is to it. He's right on a lot of stuff but there is typically more than one way to solve a problem. His weakness IMO is not usually being able to see the big picture from another perspective. That said, I am enjoying the detailed reporting in that thread. They're certainly doing more with the Aztecs than I did in my latest game, which TBH isn't saying much. Quote:I'm not sold on the idea of attacking someone who isn't backwards with rifles, drafted or not. Cavs just own them so hard unless you're attacking off boats. Well, if you're going to attack someone with Rifles, you choose someone who doesn't have them. And if they don't have rifles they're a long way from cavs. Rifle drafting is just so efficient either way though, on defense or attack. Quote:He's less likely to play games when people get personal in the lurker thread... I don't think it's personal, I think I'd make the same remarks if it was someone else writing those posts.

I don't think it's personal to comment on the objectivity of a players rationale for game decisions. Nor to question a players reflections on their strengths and weakness. We do player reviews at the start of the game, after all.

Come on man, he's opening up the diplo windows and freaking counting the total number of resources each player has hooked up as a way to brag about how awesome his team is doing. Even on a mirrored map, he's gotta know that's completely meaningless. He knows - he's *gotta* know - but yet he's doing it anyways.

And it's not like you're gonna have warrior garrisons in every single city, right? If you wanna attack with Cavs, then every rifle you draft is a rifle you don't have to build, and thus you can put an extra cav in the build queue.
So...is Sullla saying that drafted rifles are bad? In a game where SoD are relevant? And drafted rifles are the most food efficient method of producing hammers in the game? Well I'm not certain of the validity of that last statement but I cant think of anything better including Kremlin rushbuy Us/FS towns.
