Fighting Styles:

[madi]

You're pointing out something I noticed Simians did from a kingdom standpoint: paying attention to the bottom vs Monument a few ages ago. This is good math and sometimes I've wondered about a system of collapsing the enemy bottom while supporting your own.

In my case things don't always work out, so style is second to substance. I try to temper idealism with practical execution.
I've faced kingdoms that counter my every move or are pros at SN. My mind can't absorb all the information available from SN or I'd ape the practice. I do try to convey the beauty of our enemies strategies so that players gifted with clarity of interpreting can try. The queen of Incarnation was gifted in this way along with Pak.

Pak was a brilliant bottom player that advanced my understanding of chained evolution. He became even more dangerous when chained. This mirrors some of what you are explaining in bottom gains navigation. He played avian sage as I've mentioned him in these forums before.

The reason I don't try to lead is that I've never been able to cross the road between being a 'feel' player and speaking the language of the mathematically biased players. I'm very right brain/left-handed so I think in shapes, and artsy-fartsy ways that don't translate well. Even my build strats are pretty numbers not exact percentages. I usually site AMA as an example because when they execute a move I can see it clearly on kingdom pages. My intuition tells me somebody in AMA has crossed the road I haven't.

pak is a noob... ;p... hes my slave.... yahhh..lol... hes good at handling chains, where u learn that pak??? ;p...

and i disagree on your reason for not leading... srry but no player can dominate every aspect of the game... leading do sent mean u have to control everything... most good kd's have multiple peeps that can b monarch or lead but each of them have there specialties... some are better at numbers, some better at strat and setup... some better directing orders for attacks... some better at directing ops... for one player to do all of those solo is a burden and how people get burnt out... Our kd has a council and during war one council member always on.. and can help direct but each has there own niche... and at end of war all leaders/ and individuals exhausted.... just cant do a one man show, unless have no job, no family, no life....
