StarCryst: I've read several implications that Lumix and I are somehow advanced players. I think you can look at other games I've played and see that is not true. I know that Minor_Kitty advertised the Arco position as dominant. minor_kitty was wrong.

The best way to learn is to play people a little better or that know a few tricks of the trades and learn from it. THat is much better than a dominating win.

I suggest we take a 72 hour break. We can all give you a few pointers on the game. Debaser obviously has some ideas in mind that are good ones. My guess is that if you take this offer your forces may not be victorious but you will learn much more for the next game you start fresh.

Let us know what you think.

Sure I'm game. I took this position not because I thought I'd win but because I wanted to learn, so this is ideal. I didn't know you guys would be so helpful - I thought I'd just stepped into a buzzsaw and that I'd be steamrolled and that didn't seem like fun or like a good learning experience.

I am traveling in San Fran right now on work and I have little time for the game atm. I'll be back on Sunday and can get back into the game on Monday. I'll get my next turn in tomorrow or the next day and then I can get back to more consistent turns next week.

Sounds great and we appreciate it. So let's do this if everyone agrees:
1) I have game on hold until Monday morning and can delay more if needed.
2) Starcryst has gotten some pointers. If you need some more details (like Debaser mentioned mage support and kitting out thugs/SC's) just ask.
3) Arco war against Jomon and Bogarus is still on.
4) After this turns hosts, next turn war starts between Caelum vs. Jomon, Bogarus (i.e. we can script attack orders next turn).
5) Didn't forget about C'tis. Our arrangement still stands.

If anyone has any questions or disagrees with above, let me know.

Starcryst: As game moves along, if you are losing battles, please feel free to PM me questions and I'll also try to offer whatever pointers I can. I really appreciate you hanging in there when far too many others just go awol!

Cheers.

I'm in San Francisco if you want to talk about the game . I'm kind of worried about Ctis actually. I think my ignoring of him might just piss him off and he's already done a lot of damage.

Ctis was taking a bit of a break.. Sorry for the stales.. But there wasn't really much for me to do at the time anyways.. So don't get alarmed if I stale a bit when nothing is really going on for me. But I'm active again now as you can see.
