As much as I think of myself, I am pretty sure between them TK and Raw can whip me good. It might take them a few rounds, but the outcome would be inevitable. Who knows, maybe I will go down fighting. Or maybe I'll just quit while I'm ahead. We'll see. 8)

TK just pointed out to me that my game page (and my TR emails) say that I will run the next
turn of my game on sunday the 7th. But of course I meant sunday the 6th (i.e. today).
Since I have not received many orders yet I will wait until tomorrow 11pm (GMT) or until I
receive all the orders.

Ooh, looks like I've hit a nerve! :D

I was just saying to Donut last night that I should probably stop stealing stuff from you. 40 corn per turn isn't really worth the diamonds a cornsteal requires. If I need to expect more spies though, I guess I should get some extra food in for them. I'd hate to seem an ungracious host!

PS, thanks for swapping to Terrium from Shak Akash. Being spied 5 times might be annoying, but not as bad as one spell per turn not getting through... My only question would be, what with having 0 feeding the last two turns, can you really afford the POP cost?

I hope everyone's having as much fun in this game as me and Fredo :D

Question.... What's the max number of GCA's / Prov? Pretty sure I recall it being 99; which would mean that your 125 workers there are useless...

Just trying to help :P

I'll let you in on a little secret.

There comes a point in WoK V when your economy is working so well that you just don't want any more workers.

You don't want to cut down more crop than you need, same goes for wood.
You can only pack so many workers into the mountains to mine.
There's no point in leving troops when you're only paying them occasionally.


So you end up sticking the majority of your workers on EFF or GCAs. Of course you can only ever want a certain amount of EFF which means GCA becomes the default aim for all the surplus workers. So I'm not too bothered about those 31 GCAs I'm gonna lose next turn. :P

That being said, I did mean to move the GCAs around, there's no harm in having more of them after all... :oops:

Those GCA's might not be enough for Donuts ass, he's used to 3 or 4 guys at a time. So, I'd say send along a few magicians and they can help out with some magic and spells to please Donut.

So your saying "fear" won't work on him since he can hold his own?

If we were shooting at his mom then we would all have to join in to satisfy her, I hear that the guys call her "The Glazed" Donut. :oops:

Of course that was before the recent changes. :(

Seriously though. You have succesfully wrecked me in this game but are you telling me that's what you've got after stealing all my corn and all my gold for the past couple of turns? I've got to tell you I'm not all that impressed. :wink:

Yup, I'm still weak. Please nobody attack me. Just let me stay in my corner casting spells on people...

I've been treating this game as an experiment in what you can do under the new system. Since M'bakku got powered down, new (or rather old) options are available. I wanted to see if it was possible to take someone down with spells alone, the answer seems to be yes. The question of course is if it's more worthwhile just to attack someone. I'm not so sure on that, but hopefully the rest of the game will show one way or the other.

@Taker, even with the changes, not paying your troops is a valid option, you just can't make sick numbers of upgrades if you do so. I think this is a fair trade off and am generally in favour of the new rules. :)

Someone accused the Scholars of being NAP breakers, so I thought I'd try to fit in.

I'm sorry, I won't do it again :lol:

Is that the only way you guys can win is by breaking NAP's?

Seems that way anyway but who am I?


And Donut, you don't need to post your prom picture here either, save it for another day.
