For someone that brings up w19 as evidence that you're good, I really don't know who you are. I joined w19 the day it came out, and I'm still playing it (though not on my original account.) Lead a top five tribe for the majority of w19's existence, and I did a lot of diplomacy, so I know the players there- and still had no idea who you were. So I looked up the account you posted's stats to sort of compare and see what tribes you were in.
Man, I really don't want to derail this thread off topic. But I think this is an important lesson for all TW players, across the board and in every level of gameplay.
Nobody is good at this game. If you made it in a prior world, it's because either you got lucky, or you're in a tribe that values teamwork. If your tribe is no good, you're dead as soon as someone comes knocking. Sure there's a point where people are so good at start up that they can go solo for quite a while (a la Free-eek, etc.), but even they go down to numbers and teamwork at some point.
I'm not trying to bash you, not trying to flame you. But you're not good. Almost nobody is good. I'm certainly not nearly as good as those around me in game try to pretend like I am. But I value teamwork and coordination. I value the tribe above my personal account. Nemesis talked a lot about how he chose to lead his tribe rather than grow his account. I can sympathize with his choice; I definitely chose leading over personal growth a number of times. If you want to be good at this game, it's not knowing what a nuke should be like (I disagree with all of the nuke builds posted here
), and it's not winning a 1 on 1 fight, no matter how many disadvantages you overcame to win.
It's coordination and teamwork, and pulling more than your weight for your tribe. If you think that your tribe is no good (you said they're only send you a few hundred spears), I'd recommend getting into a tribe with a future, and then working as hard as you can to support that tribe. Either work to make your tribe better, or get into a tribe that you can get as much as you give out of. Because standing by yourself, in a situation like the one you're in? No matter how good you think you are. No matter how nooby the enemy might be. No matter how how active you are. You're going to fall without some mates to back you up. But if your tribe can pull together and show this player that you're not to be messed with? Then you're going to survive, because people are less likely to come at you.
I think that working on mindset is the biggest thing a TW player can do. I'd rather a tribe full of people that work together, but aren't necessarily the best that can be produced over a tribe full of amazing players that do their own thing. Every. Single. Time.
