[NO PLAYERS] The Kibitzer Klub: PB13 Map & Lurkers

[spacetyrantxenu]

And now I venture into these gates of hell.

Welcome! Fire is on the counter and you'll find the brimstone in the pantry if you want it.

GG, BTW. When you're plako's neighbor death is the usual outcome, it's just a matter of how long it takes him to finish burying you. You made him work, well done.

[Hashoosh]

I hope all the oil on this map is aquatic, stave off destroyers for a while.

I have to admit, I don't have much tolerance for Scooter's bitching about RNG luck. Sure, he just had a result that should only happen every 200ish combats. Not that freaking unlikely when he's fighting 10-15 battles/turn, though!

[BaII]

Or yah know TBS has rigged BTS combat system :P

I don't think he's bitching at all, first of all. Bitching would require a much stronger wording.

Second, it's his thread and he didn't get the combat results he wanted. I think that it'd be strange if he didn't complain. Lurkers can't ask for detailed reporting and extensive posting and then complain when a player posts frustrations with how a battle goes.

100%.

Is a horrible roll going to happen eventually? Absolutely. It still sucks when it happens, and even more so when you have a valuable and limited resource that you can't reproduce. It isn't like they'll be able to roll more amphibious grens off the assembly line whenever they want. They need to preserve their force to make the most out of this attack window before everyone has units that can stop the mayhem (or until mackoti pwns the world). Not even getting a scratch under these circumstances would make me crazy, even knowing that something similar is statistically inevitable. We seldom remember our flawless victories the same way we recall losses. We're hardwired to remember losses.

[Krill]

I'm actually with mack, he might not be able to win; in fact I'd be willing to state that since he signed peace the Vikings control what is going to happen next.

[Bobchillingworth]

If Mack's claims about the size of his navy are correct, doesn't he have like four times as many ships as the Vikings? If he strikes while Pindicooter are attacking Bigger or whoever, they might be in some trouble. Heck, Commodore might smell blood at that point. It seems clear that Mack wants to throw everything he's got at the Vikings, hence the peace signals he keeps sending Babylon.

[Krill]

The enforced peace screws up a lot, but mainly by the time that it's over Vikings should have enough boats in the water to defend, plus the ability to upgrade zerks still.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Are the Vikings still able to make zerks? I think that UUs are still able to be built after one upgrade is available but not two? Is that right? So they can be built concurrently with grens but not rifles?
