No chance

He's left for home anyway (for now)...so you'd have to wait till next time regardless.

Kill joy!

How are we supposed to learn the nuisances of this game if we can't see two masters at work?

Heehee...Master"s"??? CTD may be a master, but I would be far from that category.

Biscuit, you should take notes from your own play...

But I learn so much more from watching others.

Master. You're calling ME 'master'?
After all the foul-ups in that game so far?

Especially in this modern era, when there's so much I've got to relearn... (albeit re-learning fast!)

Besides, I doubt there's anything a big bisc can learn from mere mortals like us.

Oh please. There is always lots to learn. If someone knew everything there was to know about this game ... well ... he'd be Req!

I already thought if you have fewer and worse troops, you're due to lose. So I assumed Neb would chase me back to my castle and that would be that. I didn't think I'd get a chance to cut his numbers down a bit!

Honest.

I couldn't just lie down and take 10th though.
I pull criticism for not relentlessly pursuing #1, but even I have my limits.

I have a feeling this protest is going to fall on largely deaf ears, since I have an annoying habit of 'discovering' new skills at inconvenient times for others

No, he'd be Biscuit. You watching me and CTD is like Shaq watching 3rd graders play basketball...entertaining, sure...educational? No.

LOL @ Neb. You give me way too much credit. The Iceman likes to say I've been lucky and haven't had to fight a real battle yet. I figure it'll take another 10 campaigns or so before I understand all the nuances of the game. Of course, Req will probably change the game a little before then. Anyway, I'm still experimenting with unit selections and tech trees...looking for that perfect startup.

Perhaps if I nabbed castles at a bisc-like speed, I would be able to threaten him. But I never have been able to, so I can't.

Somehow, I never run into these early-pushovers who just let me in their castles.

When he says educational, I suspect he's looking for extra tactics to supplement his ungodly speed that he can then turn back on their owners.

LOL @ CTD. It does make it easier when people tear down their castle walls and towers for the quick bucks (even many high-level players seem to do it). I don't know who started that trend, but I've sure have benefitted from it.

Might be my fault.

Still, it benefitted me every time I did it. And it wouldn't have changed the outcome of OUR fight, which was a simple matter of numbers. My lack of.

Then again, I don't BEGIN with a teardown, not until I'm sure it won't make much difference.

CTD, far be it from me to convince you otherwise. Just continue playing the way you do, please.

I've been in the situation where I couldn't move in half of my own castle before. The walls did not help.
If anyone really wants in that bad, they come in through the corners anyway - and with your bali numbers I suspect little would succeed in stopping you. CoC demonstrated this well enough in the recent clan match by their determination to come through a solid stone wall.

What I really need to take you out is a mass-offensive mindset. But that means I run the risk of it backfiring, which is a risk normally not worth knowing, unless you feel you have a significantly better-than-evens chance vs your opponent.

Someday Bisc, you will run into an opponent who just happens (by dumb luck) to have a troop setup that opposes yours perfectly. And then you'll need a new plan

Let's get this back on topic about the personal bubble, make a new thread for the ongoing discussion of your game, please.
