Due to a RL change it is very hard for me to continue playing even though it has been a unique and very entertaining game. Is there anyone who would be interested to take over permanently?

Hi

Can you find new spellbooks and retorts at nodes from turn 1 or is that only enabled at a later turn?

  [PB81] Clash of Island
Posted by: xist10 - September 14th, 2024, 15:32 - Forum: Pitboss 81 - Replies (39)

I don't think I will post many updates here.

I'm reasonable sure I will find time to play, but time to post ?

Still, there was a question for players to provide rankings, so I will do it.
Civ/Leader still needs a complete assessment, but you can write a few words.

Signups and short rating - I can't say much besides a few general words for most.
1. Greenline:

3 PB games are known to me. The PB72 was okay. I think greenline suffered maybe the most from the map.
In the end, I wasn't that easy of a target and Greenline the only target for Bing. Greenline overextended and got bailed out by aetryn in the end.
PB74 was okay too ? Not the best expansion decisions and greenline got run over by a better player - only later than me, so greenline was able to survie on a island. I really like to think that I would fare better, if greenline was Gavagai target - still there is the question if that is player skill or player civ ?
PB75 is still running, so only spoilers:

Another solid game. I don't like greenlines thinking near the end (Ginger is runaway, I will help the runaway to attack a neighbour and will border the runaway after that.

In the end, I would say greenline is a solid player. The problem ? All players here are solid cIV players. So greenline is still one of the weaker players here.
There are a few old PBEM, which I didn't looked at, but I think, the 3 recent PB are enough.


2. TBS:

I know TBS has a very good reputation.
civac introduced TBS to us (civfourm.de) for PB59 that some here consider him to be the best cIV player of all time ?
I think this might be a bit exaggerated.
The last 3 games (from 2021) didn't seem particularly outstanding. No victory there ?
A second place I think and to stop TBS, is seems it needed at least 2 players.
The last (single) victory is from 2016 ?


3. Mjmd:

Mjmd feels like the best player here ?

On a quick skim with less successes than expected (and why do you always play without points ? The PBSPy archive don't helps in this case to get a quick info about success.), but still a lot of game participation in the ‘last’ time. Mjmd survived most games, so there is that at least.
Achievements are of course always relative to other players and it could be that with PB 59 some good players have disappeared ?

Successful was the PB70 (and the broken NAP) and as DeadLurker the PB72.
PB75 Spoiler:
And in PB75 good chances for a 2nd victory, after a really lucky early game. I don't know how Mjmd was able to secure a pole position ? Mjmd seemed to be the (second) weakest target for a long time.
Also worth mentioning is PB66, in which Mjmd held out against Plemo for a very long time. (And only towards the end there was real momentum for Plemo). I think, Plemo would win the duel on the long run, but Plemo was regarded as runaway and came out as contender.



4. SD:

SD is difficult to categorise.
It feels like SD's game plan is to build an army and smash into someone.
This is of course a great simplification, but in the end it fits, doesn't it?
It should also be mentioned that this is SD 35th PB participation (with story). Unless SD is 100% resistant to learning (which can't be ruled out, since the game plan feels the same), something has to stick.
PB 75 again:
This game is interesting for a SD rating.
SD was able to run over Rick - a totally green player - very fast. SD has the early lead and the good praetorians ? What's the next action ? SD loses (draws) a war against Gavagai, which lost (drew) a war against Mjmd earlier.
Another skirmish with Nauf in the north a little bit later and SD is isolated and out of running.


5. Naufragar:

Another one where I know not much.
Not as good as Mjmd or TBS, but still a good player ?
PB 75 spoiler:
Nauf seems to play a good game, but nothing outstanding. A longer war with GT and then a few skirmishes with SD ?
Nauf is still big enough to be relevant, but Nauf seems to be out of the running at the moment.

6. Giraflorens

Let me copy my PB79 assessment.
Giraflorens also has 4 PBs behind him, but that was 3 years ago and was semi-successful.
The first 3 - including in the ‘Greensgame’, which Plemo won by a wide margin - were probably not particularly successful according to the last page of the stories.
The first player eliminated in each case?
Positive trend, at least, first eliminated against horse archers, then against mace men, then against cataphracts.

Neither many nor successful games.

PB79 spoiler:
Giraflorens seems to come second last out of the landgrab phase. And the last player if Rick, who got better in comparison to the PB75, but is still clearly the weakest player.

7. Xist
Self-assessments are always difficult.
This is my 11th PB, so I have a bit experience - I think Mjmd or TBS could have fewer games ?
And I had a few semi successful games - CF PB91 had a good position at the end, same for CF PB 90. But the good games were all games with a partner, so I can't claim 100% success for myself. I'm afraid I've also made a smaller contribution.


8. Dreylin
Let me copy my earlier assessment from the PB79 again.
Dreylin is a very old veteran at RB in terms of activity.
13 PB/PBEM and participation in 6 EitB PBEM - before 2017. There are not many surviving documentations, so I can't say much about this games.
Recently, Dreylin was the only one to be successfully rushed in the RB PB 74 and this year he was eliminated as 3rd in the PB75.
PB 75 spoiler:
Dreylin got attacked from 2 sides. The momentary runaway Ginger and the weak greenline.
Still a good defense and Ginger lost his runaway status.

Not one of the weaker players here, but I don't really think, Dreylin is one of the better too.



To sum it up:
Mjmd, Nauf and TBS on one island.
I'm not sure about SD and Dreylin and I really want to put me in this category too.
But I think, I should be with Greenline and Gira on one island.


In the end, I expect to person to win, who gets at first to Astro and ends off invading the noob island.
To counteract this a bit, I want SD on the Pro island, because I don't think, SD wants to wait till Astro and as such, this could slow down all players on this island.

And maybe we could activate Colonial cost too ?
