    Talking Vines Trademarks???

    Came back to my kingdom and this age there is a very Vines-esque prov in there.

    What are the typical trademark signs of his province?

    The prov in question has high homes, no income/BE science, high draft, 50% wages, gnome/rogue, and a huge stock of food/runes.

    He thinks that alot of homes are better than TGs or forts, plays t/m, though he asked if anybody could provide maths/spreadsheet showing if forts/tgs are better.

    Please enlighten me if I am graced with Vines prescence :D

    *EDIT*
    The prov is a Gnome/Mystic

    you have a vines-esque prov there... not a real vines, but close =)
    once he has horrible maths and refuses to believe 1+1 = 2 (or 10, if you can only do binary) then you have a vines =)

    1/92=0.92.

    See my quote for how to spot vines.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    That's not my province. I'm not playing gnome mystic. I always keep 200% wages and I'm not playing gnome mystic. Ever since I showed cased the high strategy with the gnome artisan then with the human. People have been changing slowly to high high homes. Even a top warring kingdom uses my strategy.

    He out grew me and attacked me. In WoL he would not be able to out grow me by 20% and still be able to have a good land gain. I said that then I made my real attack and he would unable to attack me. So he out grew me. The point of a one on one is to fight not to grow. I could have out grew him but that would have taken an age and I didn't want to wait that long. Anyone with a brain could his province was on fit to face mine. I war if an attacker is unable to attack the attacker that just attacked him that attackers kingdom will lose regardless.

    Homes are better then forts and tgs. They can add more apa, dpa than forts and tgs do.
    He asked you if any one can show him a speardsheet showing if forts and tgs are better not because he thinkings forts and tgs can give more apa and dpa than homes can but because it can't they. In other words, it's a challenge: back your talk with proof other wise stop talking.

    Interesting, I came across a strat a short while earlier that looked similar:
    http://www.utopiatemple.com/strategies.php?id=9276

    Oh and Vines homes and TGs don't have to be mutually exclusive. Here's food for thought: calculate the offence of a province running 50% homes and 0% TGs. Then calculate the offence of a province running 49% homes and 1% TGs. Which build gives you more offence?

    Either I can't figure out what your trying to say or your crazy...

    Kingdom mates my friend. You win or loose a war depending on who your kingdom mates are.

    It's definately not you, Vines, I can comprehend the guy in my KD . . . I'm still unsure of what apa is too . . .

    But yeah I have told him already how TGs and Forts help him maintain his strength + economy with simple mathematics.
