Lol, Smashie still got a higher score than you Raw.

What happened? Do you want me to ask Eg to help you with your turn sheet?

I was right to mark this game as beginner in Kaobase.

You see, Raw! When you win a province on the attack phase you can order your armies to attack another one FROM the one you have just acquired. On the same turn!

With you knowing that Trewqh, you would have thought you'd be in this game?

I have no pop, and my score pretty much reflects that

. I don't know what to do since Bjorn doesn't have much either

Yep, that's it. No new armies for me. No war for me. I'm a domestic type, in the kitchen with the Royal Baker baking cakes for all those Scholars who are expected to drop in at any time.

If I bake it, will they come? I guess it depends on what type of cake they like.

PS Allister you talk big but look at your record against me.

I honestly cannot believe my luck...you NEVER should have wont that battle Bryk, it was no contest. As for you Mike *clenches fist* I'll get you one day...

Oh, I wouldn't say "never" ... the way I calculate it, I had about a 25% chance to win that. Now, if you would've kept that same group of troops in your city (which had higher defense and would allow those Knights of yours to be useful), that would've dropped my chances down to around 1% (not to mention however many you lost in taking that neutral before I got there).

Thanks for getting to the dance early.

Matt, I'm really gonna hope you're not trying to brag about beating me based on complete luck, that'd just be sad. As for taking the neutral, I lost 6 troops. Then about staying in my city...I would have, except for some reason I used the OOP at the beginning of turn 1 when planning for turn 2 instead of at the end, beats me as to why. I can easily prove it too

Naw ... I'm simply gloating about the fact that I won -- and that you didn't. To be real honest, I had assumed that you would've kept some of your armies in the southwest, figuring you had at least a couple more neutrals to take between you and TK -- didn't realize you got such a short straw on that NAP. In any case, I figured we'd have a couple of medium-sized battles over a couple of turns ... hadn't planned on killing all of your armies in a single turn. And I'd never say it was complete luck, even with the odds against me.

I didn't understand that at all ...

Well after spending the last day studying my TR I have been able to make only 1 definite conclusion.

70% of the players in the champs seem to think Hobgob is the tribe to have in the early stages of a WOK5 game. At least they want everyone to think that is their tribe anyway.

Al you got your wish the marketplace has gotten more use in the first 2 turns of this game than I have ever seen. Of course I haven't played nearly as many WOK5 games as some of the other players in this with me, but my turn report is quite a bit longer than they used to be.

Yeah, it's just a shame that everyone's only selling 5 corn total, the price is exhorbitant *and* everyone seems to be trade blocked, just for good measure!

Still, at 10 EFF for free I'm not complaining. Especially if Underdog's planning on taking the rest of my workers...

Well it costs nothing to put the orders in.

Perhaps its time for a re-think of the tribes again...?

Well I can't take all the credit for that one. I got some good intel from another player for that little tidbit. BTW, thanks for taking my city, I was trying to figure out a good way to get my Stock Limit down to a reasonable level.

It's a good thing their isn't a tribe that does that. I might have changed tribes again and not needed to.

If only Korexus would just put in MY
e-mail when he does his orders

OK I haven't played with the emoticons in awhile and I'm done now.
