Tut tut, sept! This has nothing to do with the game settings - this is just what it looks like when vets take off the kid gloves and play for the win. Our whole team worked on our expansion strategies in order to completely dominate the early game. And so, we have done it. Now get ready to see the next phase of our strategy...

Oh, and welcome back - TO YOUR DOOM!

Well, if I had been able to hit you when I found you, you would never have been able to combine your army at your cap. So I guess we're both lucky in a way, although you might want to check for that non-existent fort of mine again.

I thought you guys didn't like micromanagement. Better leave the province aquistion to us or relinquish some of what you do have to the noob team.

Bring Mysterio to the front ASAP and place him in the front rank of your attacking army.

Hahaha, well said. However, we have already worked out a solution for this: Instead of executing the disgraced generals of the noob team, as would be normal, we are instead going to employ them as regional governors. With Slave Collars, of course!

In all seriousness, it probably has a lot to do with both the game settings and our specific expansion strats, and I'd be happy to discuss it after the game in detail, win or lose.

Sorry about your prophet, Abysia. I meant to let him go, but my troops got carried away.

Oh god that sounds horrific. I could go again into why that's a bad idea, but I'll take a different tac:

Let's up the ante, winning team decides settings for the next one (tradition has already been somewhat established). You are hereby challenged, there is only one honorable response.

What's so horrific?

I'm going to wait to see how this one plays out before we delve into specifics. I believe the playing field has been leveled this time around and possibly tipped slightly into the favor of the vets, however this may prove incorrect. Suggestions though, as always, are welcome.
