    Your argument appears to be that selecting race and personality combination and composition are somehow a talent or a skill and I think that is where we disagree. Given a role, there is always a superior choice in race and personality. I'm just giving all those skilled and talented player the same superior choice in order to see whose the most talented. That would be a true competition.
    I feel like you might be lacking top play leadership experience if you think that composition selection isn't a skill. If it is so clear cut how come every top kd doesn't run the same composition each age? It's the only skill that ASF and Flogger still care to compete at.

    He refuses to understand the game BoH and his every post just demonstrates how much he does not understand it. Its ok, just let him feel like he scored a point so he will stop making my soul hurt.

    The devs have made a decision to kill competitive utopia and have thereby killed my interest with it.

    Slippery slope when you talk about ceasefires - they aren't always used as intended. In my hypothetical situation, there would be no ceasefires.
    There would be no slippery slope if they are being used as they should. If you agree to CF someone up until YR X, you should stick to that agreement.

    A good player can play any combination relatively successfull.

    Skill isn't just growing a province, it's also selecting a race and personality. Saying they don't require talent or skill just shows you have no idea what you're talking about. True competition starts with selecting your race and personality!

    Isn't it bit ironic coming from you consider your signature and all. you cant play the way you wanted so you blame the game rather than adapt?

    Not at all Korp. Transforming the game from one where growth can happen through multiple strategies to one where it basically only has one (in gross form, there are multiple strategies to war itself) has turned this game into one where people can just decide to run away from superior prep and setups and prevent a superior competitor from competing at all. That is itself wrong.

    I refer you to Persain's post where he agrees with the underlying premise of my point (though I doubt he would agree with me that it is a bad thing.)

    what a bulll33t, you pay money to cheat, you are friend with absalomon alliance in which your owners are, who bought and ruined the whole game, cause of your alliance leet all people left the game

    and you have the nerve talking about skill, yeah skill for sure it is called money not skill, you can say same leet for your buddy brat mattija he does selection is that skill or pure leetplay

    i dont see any skill the game is dead and have no changes at all and you compete among yourself, you choose among 50 absalomon players and say that is skill, that is not even a joke but tragedy

    Funny, I was beginning to think something similar.

    I don't have top play leadership experience and I still believe that picking a race and personality combination isn't a skill or talent. I'll concede that crunching numbers is a talent or skill depending how you look at it.

    For everything else, we will just have to agree to disagree and go on our own ways.

    This absalomon alliance got me intrigued
    People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

    I like that you're asking questions.

    The problem with the mystery of the top is that Bart land charted to the top. He didn't crown.
    The reason I'm commenting on your post is because I understand you're looking for substance.
    Confidence and curiosity do pay dividends. I'm reading you because these are questions, that while deflected, offer insight from what isn't being said. I'm not whoring but I'm always passively nosing.

    If you've seen someone in command through the ages, witnessed their progress, and finally saw them in the crown seat then that's how I feel about Utopia at the current state. Because I've seen Bart in war I'm aware of his convention. This is generally all I need to understand most things in Utopia. Because I can reverse engineer what I've encountered.

    1. We know you don't have to be a master of war. No offense to anyone anywhere.
    2. We know you don't have to abide diplo to the letter.
    3. We know the pump schedule. How not to blow up.
    4. We know the general elite nw dealio.
    5. We understand why you want advanced com.
    6. Bots are cool for seeing more stuff with less stealth.
    7. I forget the explore thing, but it's simple.

    Anyone want to add to this? I'll never find willing whores so it's all for posterity.
