Join me, we will get your acres back.

It's nature the strong take from the weak. Become strong. Also if you are big you rarely get bullied by bigger kingdoms :p

IMO you should remove that faery Smercj. If you have problems doing so I can help you (I know sometimes biggies try to drag this stuff a looong time). The basis of building a strong KD is making tough decisions for the greater good. One guy doing his own thing can completely mess up the entire KD-strategy and cost you wars, it can get you hit by biggers KDs because they keep messing around with them.

Gotta swing the sword when you have to.

LoL, quite true except the, nm... What has worked for me: take from the strong because they have more stuff.
~ I played D&D too long. It's my nature to break into the dragon lair or dark elf central, kill and take their stuff. ~

yeah, outplayerz is so strong that he takes his acres back through war stance.

your dm should have let you die for making foolish decisions. Join a more realistic group.

what's the big deal? I mean he tells you if you hit him he will hit you into your war.

Gives you 2 choices:
a) don't hit him
b) kill him
c) watch him keep his word and hit into your war.

Solo provinces are so handicapped in competing they should be hitting into your war.

[tetley]

I'm not even saying there's a huge problem with it, just that I wouldn't describe his methods as strong :P
If we're borrowing from D+D, outplayerz is not the warrior, but the thief.

There's plenty of examples in our world that realism supports.

[Verminator]

Every party needs a thief. ;)

[Flicksand]

There is no rule that says I can't take my land back through war.

A thief who steals his gold back isn't a thief but a reconciler.

I think you will find that there are not many examples where you can take from those in a position of strength without consequences... Show me these real world examples!

Look up Lachhiman Gurung, a Ghurka recipient of The Victoria Cross.
Henry the 5th at the Battle of Agincourt.
Look up wolverine vs bear.
Appalachian State vs Michigan 2007.
Royce Gracie vs Dan Severn.

Nothing is permanent, but we have enough evidence to enjoy an underdog position in Utopia. ~ You're doing well btw goodz. I notice your taking on all comers ;-)

I didn't say that underdogs don't win, and come on Agincourt? The british were favorites they still had longbows vs French calvary.

But if you were consistently going up against foes stronger then you and gambling your life presumably you would not live long. That was more my point. Although half the fun of dnd may have been making character sheets.

A few strategies in RPG and strategy games translate to Utopia. In D&D we had a solid team. The game has become more tactical now which I enjoy. Other games that were pure strategy translate well like Squad Leader.

Going up against stronger foes is in essence my motivation. It's not dislike, more testing and proving things. It's also fun.
