I think he didn't realize that archers suck on offense. Maybe he's used them against axes successfully, I dunno.

To be fair, it distracted Jowy's forces for Mardoc to get a victory. Without the miclick that might be a good result. But yeah, the stack would have been a lot more threatening with axes.

Also, he really should have attacked Mardoc instead of Jowy.

I'm trying to understand how anyone thinks the archers have value beyond sheer numbers against agg vultures? Maybe as ckn upgrades?

Not like they do anything other than extra happiness and I don't think Fenn is in HR.

I agree, he needs to think about moving forward rather than trying to force Jowy backwards. Both of them are behind Yuris who is significantly behind Borsche who himself is significantly behind Wetbandit. The global situation is what makes these games interesting/difficult!

Hmmm.
This game has the same basic rules.
Rules like AI-diplo.
What you must learn is that these rules are no different than those of a computer system.
Some of them can be bent.
Other can be broken.

So Dreylin is a hacker? shhh

Again, as my lurker opinion that isn't worth anything, I think that's completely against the rules. And I can't see how any player would think that's acceptable.

By the way, they reloaded for Dreylin's one unit misclick, while Fenn lost seven units to a misclick... I hope the players keep the casual vibe when they read about this in the future.
