View Profile As somebody who won the previous incarnation of this game, I really love the new system and the rules. It was a damn shame that some people bitch out and quit the game but that was expected for a game of this quality anyway. I just want to give a shout out to Fronox who is really using his head on this one. I hope Ai and Aquila have learned enough from me in the previous game to know how to counter this properly.
uhm... thanks :D
i didnt see the last round and whatever you did with Ai and Aquila... i hope they learned nothing from it xD

View Profile Which one? Is D10 getting a watchtower or a guardhouse? And is it a watchtower or a guardhouse that you want to go at D11 or D13?

View Profile My move is going to be a bit complicated so bear with me Zed.
One archer at BD attacks Ares's LC at Q.
9 LC from BJ attacks BF/AM from G8. They proceed to take E8 and attacks AS. They proceed still to D9, attacking F. Stop in aggressive stance.
Archers at BD and AK attacks F (though if its enough to kill one pikemen, stop shooting).
The one LC at BJ, after the 9 LC attacked F (and obliterates it) enter double time stance and proceed to B10 in a straight line, taking all the territories on the way. And then it takes A11, and travels in a straight line to A7.
Can I also know xave's status?

If you truly think I won by luckily using the OP troops, then you have learned nothing.

View Profile lol Ai I think you're talking about me, that's how I destroyed your entire army. And sorry to say Nish, but I didn't get to see your genius at work. I was too focused on my own small empire and stockpiling everything.
Move M to K3, J4, down to J7, to K7, L7, L8, and then retreat to N8.
Move N to F1, E2, D3, C3, B3.
Recruit 30 pikemen on H5
Recruit 17 Heavy cavalry with squad O, in aggressive stance.
AW will attack BB from the southeast through G3 at F2.

View Profile make 2 other HC on F1 enter Double Time, having a total of two HC in Double Time.
Then send one of the double time HC to A3 before turning to face East.
Then send the second HC in double time on HC to A7 before turning to face East.
Then have the last HC in double time on HC move on this path: E1, D2, C1, B1, A1, A2, B2, C2.
Have the remaining 26 HC on F1 move to G1 and attack G2's forces. If all of G2's forces are destroyed then I'd like for them to attack F2.
I would then like to have both of my archers on F1 enter double time.
I'd like one of them to move to E5, avoiding confrontation if possible.
I'd then like the other to move to E7.
I'd like to capture all territory I cross over, if I have to state that.

View Profile BBKing was not online for the last 4 days. Zed can i move for him this turn? Veir already takes his whole territory, after bbking did nothing last round, and we need to do something!

View Profile Yes. That would be a good idea. If Veir has already grabbed all BBKing's land then I will at least transfer his money over to you. I'll just have a look at whether I need to do anything about Xave too.
Edit: Yeah, Xave's not logged in for six days. His assets will be transferred to whichever person team Hammerfist decides should take over (I advise Ai, since he's the one with a border). In the mean time any of you can move his troops but not spend his money.

You mean only Xave with this or BBKing too?
EDIT: move all my Archers from E6 to B3.

Only Xave. Since you're the one assimilating BBKing I don't think we need to worry too much about his men not having had the chance to move. And those guys are only all contributing to Xave until they've agreed on who's going to take over. With their team it's not obvious how to do it to maintain balance , so it's up to them to decide.
