RBP2 Lurker Discussion Thread - No Players!

[mostly_harmless]

Isn't there a Zelda forum or something where Dr.Nomadic/Swine can go to? Sullla will love his recent post in his thread.

I was just saying my reaction. I do have a Steam Account because I own Portal, but that's really it.

BTW Sulla do you own any Valve games?

[MJW (ya that one)]

I wish to state that he is not my DL...
(I don't have a DL here.)

I just thought that it may not be possible to have another game with these players together. There will be lots of bad feelings and I think there will be de facto pre-set allanices. Oh well.

It would be absolutely hilarious if Nakor didn't whip Taj, because he's getting 14 base / 42 shields per turn right now. Two more turns of that would leave him at 696 out of 700 shields on Taj.

Is Sullla remembering the Engineer specialist from a forge when quoting this 14 base hammer figure (previously 15 base until fur was chopped)?

Edit: Just checked HRE thread, yeah I think he is

I'd love a rematch with the rest of the RBP2 crew. Somehow I doubt that everyone would agree though. As for pre-set alliances, I think one of the most interesting things for me would be to work together with different people than the first time around.

Nakmoc raised a good question in their thread about what to focus on during the GA - Infrastructure or Military.

Does anyone have any particular views on this? My heart always leans to strengthening the economy in a GA rather than prepaing for war or defences.

Some big news this turn. Slaze has made a run at Corellia, defended by a lonely LB. Fully Fortified, City Garrison 1, 40% culture defence. I had a Knight within range, that's it so I moved the Knight (Combat II) with the LB. I'm against 7 HA's (2xCombat II, 5 Unpromoted), and 2 Chariots (1 Combat I/Shock, the other Flanking I/Sentry).

I ran a quick WB test same city conditions but 2 Swordsman fully fortified combat I each. I didn't have time to try and figure out how to change units in a city. The City fell but on the first chariot attack. I might have a chance to hold it with a LB and a Knight.

Something tells me that A4L and Whosit do not know the "damaged units lose have their strength" rule.

According to CivStats, Nakor (technically DMOC) has just double-whipped one of his cities. I don't even have to log into the game to tell you that he just whipped the Taj build to completion. Go ahead, click on their spoiler thread right now - I can see that DMOC just posted there. Tell me I'm wrong, I dare you.

We're really not interested in playing clock game shenanigans with these guys anymore. Let's just get this show on the road and move forward.

...After what they were doing prior to the CoW declaration, I consider this to be hypocritical. Thoughts?
