    its not really that easy. Just cause Greek Gods did it once vs us when neither of our leaders were around the week before for various reasons doesn't make it work consistently.

    Mansoor is a Hero, a genius. Too bad that his actions have made it impossible for us to try the same :(

    Many of us could be having a lot more fun. If it's not ambition then it should be curiosity.

    Seems a romantic novel was written to make swea look awesome.
    The post is overall flawed as it is just the version of one KD, half of it is true and the other half is not.

    The best part of that age might have been the leaders channel with Flogger, Binar, me and Elit. It was pretty lol and it was unfair to the rest of the server. Had we got along better it would have been total domination for many ages to come.

    Bart , Mansoor was neither a hero nor a genius. Getting an edge over kds by breaking ur deals isnt that hard to do really . Also the next age was completely diffrent for him because nobody trusted him anymore and gave him nothing which led eventually to the downfall of SWEA . Imo a top kd is the the that gets an edge while keeping their word and their leaders are heroes or geniuses as you called Mansoor . Lying and cheating to get an edge makes you just a liar and a cheater , not a hero or a genius.

    Never too late for domination. You're free to serve under Spartan theocracy!

    I think his achievement is heroic since he basically started from scratch and severely outgunned, yet outsmarted all his opposition. I personally do not agree doing deal breaks is the way to go about it, but I do admire his inventiveness and "feel" for the situation.

    Yes it's so much more respectable to UtoLawyer your way out of your deals for leverage like every other kingdom does...

    He only outsmarted Elit, the rest told Elit he was being manipulated. In the end of the day Elit was just being greedy, wanted to bring SWEA up to get fat and juicy and then swoop in and entirely crush and farm them. It backlashed pretty heavy on Elit.

    Did you know that for most of its history Spartans was mostly made up of swedes? I think 2.5 years ago like 15/25 were Swedes. However, we lost competitiveness and to increase efficiency we had to remove the Swedes and replace them with Asians. Haven't look back since...

    With risk of upsetting the asians i feel its best to not say more.

    Well I'm not saying it is a cause-effect relationship, but there definitely was strong correlation between ethnic composition and success.

    So, how many kingdoms can you name that won the age with a brand new kd? I can come up with one other and that was Dreams.

    We didn't cheat though we abused, lied and backstabbed a lot. :)

    All was possible thanks to Elit having principles and Anri being a hothead. Elit with Polar Bears could have ruined it all a lot of times.

    Also there is no doubt Mansoor played the politics and diplomatic game very well.
