I actually agree with Teter2's logic here. It was us who picked a fight with the world, but it was the world who started forming coalitions instead of picking a fight with the world. The downside is, if you pact with the weaker alliances to fight the strong, you then have to beat the best to actually grow. The more strategically intelligent move would be to also declare war on the world and compete with Mortis' growth. You also get to brag that you did 0 hand holding and put your skills to the test instead of trying out diplomacy that looks good today but hurts your overall growth in the long run. Still can't figure out why leaders don't dump that strategy...
Sounds like Oropos all over again.
Mayhem: 2 things:
1) You SUCK at war. Like, some of the new guys to the game are significantly better than you. Sure you get stats and cities from your gold but you still suck. Royally. Everyone knows this too (just like your personality sucks as Hg already referenced)
2) Didn't you have to bring in your best friends nephew to help you out and NAP the rest of the world in order to, well, just survive?? Oh, right, yea, you did do that.
I'll Second HG, you're irrelevant. I'm MORE relevant, and I'm only in this world to do milestones and gold trade! haha
Peace Homie
