I just bought your book "In 10 games to self acceptance and warlightenment"
You write in chapter III: There is no strength in numbers
...to gain is to immobilize yourself. Every single point your income increases WEAKENS you. You will be bound to holding bonuses, securing borders. Your mind will be fixed. Free yourself, be aware.[...]True happiness comes through increasing your degrees of freedom. Leave the ballast of regions behind you and become a wandering bonus, endlessly roaming the landscape of Europe 3v3 or Roman Empire 4v4. Let all the bedazzlement of your team mates hit you, and accept their pleads, but let go of their well meant suggestions. Inhale the freedom of loneliness - through a technique called being extensively blacklisted [...]this is your homework for the next map: attack each and every neutral region around you - but do not capture any. Keep all the armies, and hence all the ballast you carry around to a minimum...
So my question my question is this: "How can I grow the fastest?"
Panasonic I can teach you intermediate, but I'm learning Advanced myself. I'm sure I can help you some way as I'm 1700 + on the ladder. ;) set up a game with me on the 5th August. If you wish.
Alex, why is your best rating ever 1698, but your current rating 17something? I'd guess due to expired losses but I've never seen a player have a current rating highest than their best rating, even players who have left the ladder.
It's because I had to leave the ladder when I went on holiday at 1698, during that time my rating rises to 1730 because of expired loses- i think. Hopefully it will stay like that so when I join again ill be 33rd ;)
Hey everyone, after about two weeks of some painful experience with 1on1, i'll stuck in frustrating losses. About 85% of 1on1 games get lost and i think about switching to brainless single player mode. It's often difficult to select the best starting locations and to decide wheter to spread as fast as i can to all possible directions or to stay at one course. Everytime i engage an enemy who kicks my ass at one point and i wonder how he can have as much armys. I need some serious teaching to agressive and defensive behaviour. My current level ist 16.
Sry about my terrible grammar andf orthography, it's a foreign language.
