You lot are too good...
I've noticed recently that playing "ordinary" people in public games is a hell of a lot easier than playing the FISO mob in a private game. Are just exponentially better than everyone? Anyone else find this? Lieutenants & Generals & Field Marshalls & such forth don't scare me in the real world

Re: You lot are too good...
I'd say that we are much more competitive amongst ourselves and to a certain extent points are being passed too and fro within the group, hurting some more than others in the process.
And yes, when you are faced with mere captain and majors (not sure about higher than that) they aren't as merciless by a long way

The last one we were both in you won I believe due to the last person to get ko'd going after me rather than you, of course I'd sooner have won it but I don't begrudge you taking it.kizkiz wrote:And sometimes in a public game your so called friends want you to lose, eh vid

That trench game confused me. I couldn't work out why you weren't expanding when green was constantly attacking me and putting huge numbers up against me. Seems he was doing the same to you,but no idea where he got all the troops from!
Anyway, the scotland game is looking good

Scotland looking very good for you! 1v1 after your next move, shame it's chained rather than unlimited so you've got a bit of work to do to finish red off, pretty sure he was ranked much higher not long ago.

Yup, cyan dead next turn whatever.Vid wrote:Scotland looking very good for you! 1v1 after your next move, shame it's chained rather than unlimited so you've got a bit of work to do to finish red off, pretty sure he was ranked much higher not long ago.
Yellow dead unless red takes my scottish territ next to yellow and delays matters.
Red i will just keep hammering until i win the war of attrition, but annoyingly will have to keep the one grey territ alive behind my lines.
Lots of thinking with thrench terminator

Re: You lot are too good...
I think you'll find that i have killed nobody. All i've been able to do every turn is retake my small bonus after you both attack me,
You can definitely blame pappje
As for Salem, well i still have no clue. I started in some remote corner, never got attacked or saw anyone, and syddenly seemed to be deploying 20+ troops. Just lucky the way it went tbh

Re: You lot are too good...
Kiz & Finsimbo both now summarily dispatched..... The mistake made was to leave my Tower/Castle holdings alone for a turn or two, was giving me a deploy of 11 or more which I used around the edges of the map, but you never cut me off. Thanks to nabbing points from Kiz, I'm at my highest ever rating
As to BFM's point, I guess part of it is that we are quite a small grouping on here, but are pretty much all quite well-versed in this kind of gaming. So intra-FISO battles can be a lot tougher than stealing sweets off some of the kids on the wider site. I know I've played some games where the utter stupidity of some players leaves someone to build a winning position they should never have been able to.

Re: You lot are too good...
Has a huge impact on stats? Just checked my stats - played 39 & won 6. Which is probably like 1 in 30 fiso games + 5 in 9 normal.

Re: You lot are too good...
I win a few fiso games, but certainly not more than my fair share.
It does seem easier sometimes to take games against others

Re: You lot are too good...
I'm not really worried about it. Think Ive only won one on my own, though been part of a couple doubles victories. Every 'FISO' game I try seems to be on a new map, and I'm not getting the practice the members are on a max of 4 games a time. Put me on 'Classic' I'll be more than a match for anyone

Re: You lot are too good...
I dont really mind Terminator, sunny, foggy etc - but I'm not so fussed on escalating spoils. Makes it a bit random taking half the board for someone to take it back again. I'd rather build solidly to a win than get lucky with the spoils.

agreed. I'm tending to play games now with either no spoils or flat rateBeerfuelledman wrote:I dont really mind Terminator, sunny, foggy etc - but I'm not so fussed on escalating spoils.

Re: You lot are too good...
I find it quite satisfying to clear the maps with a run of escalating spoils. Something quite sexy about having 90 armies to deploy if you are able to double cash.
