4:15 versus 7:15

nice to see the land / nw charters being so aggressive

I mean, I'm not sure giving out war wins every 7 days is aggressive. Desperate maybe.

was more a general chart observation

[Memster]

Unsure what wws and land/nw charts have in common

[Palem]

I mean...war wins do give out free land. I'm not saying their point is a good one but the link is pretty obvious lol

This was a b2b 1 vs 2 fight that's been going on for like 2 weeks and we're only on page 6? Where have all the forum warriors gone. Not only would emeriti win again if Proteus replaced Binub, these threads would be way more interesting.

[Bananamancer2000]

Emeriti didn't explore this time. Hoping to take more land in the next war and then explore? I don't think they have a chance in war 3 for a win, but maybe they can gain land again. Or something else, war with 5:1?

Seems Emeriti intend to fight hipmunks to me. Not sure what they intend to gain in a 3rd war with 4:15, except to help them get several 20k faeries.

Max gain wd is only a viable strategy if you actually gain significant land compared to your opponents... Emeriti is demonstrably unable to do this. They've got a garbage setup and it's been played out. Least now with their 9 and 10k dryads they stand a chance against hipmunks who're basically short two provs...

I disagree, I think its a great setup, they just never made enough elites for some reason.

[StratOcastle]

Figured Emeriti was running a secondary offense gizmo based in horses, prisoners, etc for nw leverage and economy... and a few full elite provinces to overcome the unbreakables. There's still a speed issue, if acres per tick are part of the formula.

Betcha Emeriti could run a nice rainbow strat and be pretty happy this age.

I really don't see the strength of Dryad/Heretic at all. Less offence than other Dryads, and worthless spell/ops potential. Would have been better off as one of the attacking personalities. Hybrids are usually a poor idea, and this is one of those times obviously. Not enough offence, obviously criminally poor on the magic side of things since it doesn't look like they can control pop or econ. While I applaud them for not running 8+ faeries... just 4 of them, and with two being warriors, is laughably retarded. And obviously the short comings of the setup are showing in spades or else they wouldn't be withdrawing barely up on acres repeatedly and letting their opponents faes and bank run away carefree.

Credit where its due though, they would be doing worse, by trying to actually win their wars.

You miss read my post, I did say basically. And I think that that was and remains a fair assessment.

[flogger]

I agree with you on the personality aspect, heretic seems a weird fit. I think that had to do with the meta of the endless stallings last age, to give their setup some op power in hostiles, but that's just me guessing. Also that meta is too advanced for me to really comment on from the sidelines. They'd be better off with either undead or tact, although neither of those personalities blow you away.

Hipmunks vs 4:15 to determine the ultimate 7/7 WW quadruple crown winner? 4:15 has the size, but hipmunks should have more prep time.

[DonJuan]

I wholeheartedly believe 4:15 has won the age...the hardest wars were already won.

Also if you consider the fact they no longer have the "DJ Jinx" plaguing them...they are favored to crown for the next few ages
