Ahilix, I have nothing against Gadden beating me, it's just the way the game is. Gadden and I couldn't play against the same players.
I played for the alliance race, I had to save my arme for wars, not go bashing on random enemies. Gadden did like everyone else, he used his army, if he did it the last day or the last month, it makes no difference. It doesn't take away his acheivement, nor anyone elses that did it in any other way.
I could have had more military points
IF I had played with more civilian economy, just like you and 100 more could have had more military points, but it doesn't matter, because neither of us did.... and "if" is for losers
I had 15000 net worth because I disbanded all of my army the last minutes. Apart from that, I know I fought against good players like Migula and Mizla, and great players like Lafs and Djibril. Probably others too, but noone I really remember. We fought against alliance that were double our size, against players double our size, were we hardly could go straight ahead against a boxed mountains with an army that defends it. We had to use other tactics. Still we won most of those wars, and we definetely killed more soldiers than they did. For that I was awarded 3 medals.
Can you imagine that with a civilian net worth of 15 000 net worth
. Neither could I when I had played as farmer in R5...
It's always the same isn't it:
"come up to my points and we will see", when I was a farmer it was "come down to my points". I can't compare myself to you, nor can you compare yourself to me, it's just not possible.
The game isn't about that, isn it? It's about that rush when you are tracking down an army and the seconds go by like hours... the minutes like days and finally BAM, you hit the enemy's army, or you miss, but the rush is still like narcotics... addictive.
I am not the best player in IO, don't know who is, we all have different goals and possibilities, so maybe it is you or Gadden. I do think I can be pleased with what I acheived personally in R1, but most of all I am happy with my alliance mates, for who they are and what we acheived together.
I was, Ahilix, damn lucky to have found such great people all in one place.
