Tempers Ball

Well I stumbled across a couple kingdoms that I couldn't pass up, three little ol' dardenites without any defenses that were just begging me to visit. I most likely have just walked myself into some elaborate trap but that's the name of the game. All had different leader names but similiar build styles and defenses, should be interesting to see. Can't wait to find those other five, in the mean time I await your retaliation....

7 of 8 have now been found I believe, it is going to be interesting to see how he/she recovers from this one. Hopefully I have not just picked a fight with numerous enemies......

Kick his/her ass Phadraig! If you ever think about playing in guilds look me up. ;-)

Thanks Torkano, I will keep you in mind after this age since I more then likely will be joining guilds. I forgot how much time turmoil takes so I don't think I will be playing it again next age. Did you ever start up any kingdoms this age or is turmoil still a no go for you?

I wish I could play Turmoil especially with all this new blood. My time just won't allow it. It would be awesome to have you among our ranks my friend

Ohhh!! Big man... picking on the newbie still trying to learn the game.... takes such skill to massacre the little people who are peacefully building... You didnt even hit my major kingdom....

I may not retaliate now but I sure as hell will later

I sincerely hope that you are not serious. If you are going to leave all your kingdoms undefended then you can't blame anyone. Sometimes that quick build cycle pays off because you don't have to continually hire troops and then downsize to build but if you are going to initially do this type of build style then you better hope you don't get caught. Each type of build strat has it's pros and cons, and I have just displayed the negative aspect of your particular choice. You got caught with your pants down, quit bitching and accept. I bet if you ask anyone in this forum they would agree that when they come across someone, such as yourself, in such a building stage it is like striking gold. Now if you are truly are a newbie I would be more than happy to discuss this in private and give you any suggestions or answer any questions you might have. However, if you are from castaway and just bitching cause I slapped your bare ass then deal with it. I await your retal.............

I agree. If I saw an undefended kingdom like that I would hesitate making the hit. Leaving your land undefended can prove costly. Don't gripe.

However, if you can complete that build cycle up to city conversion then fluff for war, that risk will have paid off tenfold.
Easier to do nowadays cos there are less players than in the 'old days' but harder to pull off cos everyone seems to use a quick build strat ready for war in less than a week out of NPP.

I agree Matai, and personally back when we had more players I did the same. However, with the limited amount of players now you have to be ready for anything thus that type of strategy is risky. That and that alone was my point to this guy, he took the risk and it didn't pay off.......maybe next time it will, you never know. However, you never know, maybe I am just turning into a big meanie like DG.............I kinda like it though.

My solution, which I did this age....when someone hits me in my build stage I scum kill them.....I put three dardens down that way.

That is always an option.......it remains to be seen which option he will select. I have offered to give him suggestions and advice.......it is up to him on whether or not he takes it.

Jade Fire, it doesn't take skill to kill you when you are so wide open but forward planning.
Maybe you should take it as a lesson for the future seen as you new and all, I am sure Phadraig will give you future lessons if you require.

Leaving a 9-11k undefended kingdom to build themselves up this early int he game would not be clever at all, I dont think many people would let this one go. I know I didn't.

Exile you see when you do that people get slightly pissed off and have vendettas, but all those wasted turns scum killing so early
