    So you did in fact get this one wrong, in this tense, sorry to say. ESL is nothing to be ashamed of.
    Yea yea true the other word was kinda boring so auto corect suggested the other word I figured it would be more interesting (jerk)

    The argument then being the opponent wasn't a quality matchup. So in microcosm, how does a single province in an empty kingdom gain acres through the age without CFs? I did it. The reason I remember the CR run in 63 was because I was watching for top kingdom provinces in my range. Not to attack, that's against my personal idiom, but preparing to retal. I didn't do CFs because I enjoy challenges.

    So meter watching isn't the solution. Acre digestion is. If your a top down kingdom, meaning you base your strategy on UB size to opponents who agree to war you, then you're not ideally built to stomach a larger kingdom. You can still fight. Why most of this age I was playing a faery sage. I built myself to retal bottom feeders because we were top down. My ratios were roughly 1:1. That's a ridiculous strat isn't it? Yeah, with ospecs even. But I digress. To learn about top feeding you should take a look at the CR strat of 63 and a few of the AMA strats. Because these were facing cows, the apex provinces in the game. Simplistic, but if your going to prove something you have to face cows.

    To me it's glaringly obvious that the community puts too much faith in static math. Perhaps it's that most don't understand that the meta is still just a strat; It's an alternative of efficiency, but it takes time to cook it right. The meta is also predictable because we all know the big numbers. It is a beautiful machine I admit.

    Who here today hit an opponent who can triple tap you for your single tap? ;-) challenges that make you nervous.
    It's funny you mention the above highlighted because I played in CR for most of it's existence (playing in ED when CR wasn't trying to crown) and I have often also thought that. Being in CR and a kingdom full of math nerds like zap, topsy, munk godly etc forced me to, albiet on a minor scale, start thinking about the math also.

    Playing in a kd like CR where most things are simmed was a change for me and still at times I often think we too 'over complicate' things and push the boundaries but it is fun to drink a beer and watch the math dudes go at it

    I like it to. I'm not against it(math) because it certainly works, just that there's more to the game and I think the kingdoms I mentioned know this. I have also contemplated the deeper math, or in this case, the non static math. In part I don't use the readily available tools because I enjoy the challenge. The opportunity to polish my game is always there and I'll do this if a jump to higher ground is in the cards.

    Like you I enjoy seeing the guys posting chart projections and discussing veritable rocket science. I admit I also find it amusing when we're 1/7 and the thing just doesn't come together.

    Oh, and my opponent did indeed 3x retal. So, with a limp, we dance. claw, claw, bite...D&D humor
