#300 - Experimental

[Beatific]

I have seen nothing wrong with your posts. We need more chit chat in the forums for sure.

I also think the combat engine is not upto par yet. I have taken capitals with as low as 1.5 using the GI. GI has a defense rating that just does not let them die and keeps them in the fight longer than any other than the RD. Use those shield spells and the GI can really get crazy. But yes for this game stick with traditional combat values.

So far I have seen the following, or is it not seen?

1) Still searching region 3 and no cities yet. I keep finding Eastern steppes pop centers which is not my intent, but oh well. No one ever said Dwarfs are good at Land Nav. out side of their homeland which we are still trying to figure out.

2) No one is building any defenses or I am not getting income from construction projects. If you did build (not summon) any walls, just let me know so I know if the game runs that correctly.

3) Dwarfs vs villages, I know were tuff but no damage attacking a village, pretty impressive or a slight oversight on the program.

I will build a defense just for you little buddy. Curious to know if the small lower mountain range is in R6 or R3.

Actually I was talking about HIS post wherein he does what us old farts would call inappropriate table talk about what you see ingame (kind of like table talk during a card game). Some people are cool with it, some hate it. I don't much care, but have learned the hard way to be careful about it and then adapt my style accordingly. In this case, Ace feels free to comment on what he believes my armies condition is and invites everyone to attack our region. While I may or may not agree with his assessment, I am asking the question about in game intelligence being discussed in the forum. Is it ok, for example, for me to blab about his capitals location, army locations, town locations, army condition, etc in the forum. Some would say that that is unacceptable. If I read between the lines in your post, though, JF. You are saying that it is ok with no conditions (anything goes) and that this should actually be encouraged. Am I right? Or is this one of those things that there are no rules.....ie. some do and some do not talk thusly and so it is pretty much a part of your persona. No rancor or hard feelings, Ace, but I do really need to figure out this part of the game and so I ask openly (since you volunteered so freely your opinion on my status, I really don't feel all that bad about bringing it up or calling you on it to emphasize the point). CAN we (not should we) do that without breaking some agreed upon rule by the site admins or other experienced players? If so, it adds a very interesting dimension to this game albeit at the cost of a less cordial gentlemanly atmosphere. Does this make sense? Or is this just a stupid question that nobody answers (which basically then is interpreted as "it is ok to do" since it creates additional tactical opportunities with reputation then becoming a very interesting coin). I actually like the possibility that this is the case, but do not want to assume it because experience shows that it really does piss some folks off to the point of quitting the game or even site altogether.
