Untrue. Some of us - like you and me - never got a chance to assault the hill earlier.

I wonder who prevented you from assaulting the hill earlier?

Others who neighbored the hill ... pranced and flew about taking indies even after the matter had grown severe.

This is just low. I'd suggest that you avoid throwing provocative statements around.

I think that if we had started cooperating earlier we'd have had a better chance.
Griffin has done a fine job of securing the hill.
All that's left is to congratulate him.

Thank you all for your gratulations, this game was real fun to me(and the first one i won!)

My tatic was quite straight: i used the dragon to get as many indies in the bginning of the game as possible to ensure a constant stream of undeads and i chose that high domionion to force all my opponets to care on food.

I was a bit afraid of the pangae after i realized that he played as carnion woods(beacuse of his death magic).

Greets and thank you for all

Griffin, King of the Hill

Your high dominion worked well, but food was a problem for me anyways, since the hill is surrounded by waste.

It seems to me your skeleton spamming helped you out a lot in those battles. The two bishops were good tactics as well.

First victory? Congrats indeed!

Meh, Carrion Woods sucks. Completely. I keep trying to make it work with different strategies and pretender designs, but the more I try to do anything with it, the more I start to think even base Ulm is better...

I think the only redeeming feature of CW is the ability to kind of play them like Broken Empire: they can mix living troops and their undead minions without *too* much trouble (they have a fairly slow Dominion pop loss, 30.000 pop in the capital, and resources aren't really linked to population). Problem is, I don't think the undead troops are that good to warrant the trouble, and mages aren't the greatest thing in the world either.

It is possible to do very well with base Ulm (Entwined Destiny, if nothing else), but I have yet to see an example of Carrion Woods doing well in a game where more than one player is involved (a rush could work for them... maybe).
