@muboop, at least read what I write before replying. The last sentence started with "I am not doubting you...". I do not know if he has been attacked. However, if he had been mass attacked like many players have, I'm sure he would have said something along the lines of "despite recieving 100's of attacks in short periods of time, I have never lost".
@devil, even great players at defending get rimmed. In the latter stages, defensive skill hardly even comes into it - it's mainly just stand and be stacked.
@Lonewolf, I consider experience as having dealt with and learnt from a wide range of experiences in one way or another. Sure, he may be experienced at survival, but is he experienced at recovery? Getting rimmed is the best way to prove your ability to recover, and recovery is one of the most important qualities imo. If people really want to rim you enough, there is nothing you can do to stop them if there is enough of them.
3 different worlds, the same situation on each (in the sense not rimmed) that means fairly similar experience.
Thats a good point about not losing a war does not mean you don't know loss. But, there is a difference between watching it and doing it, just like their is a difference between reading a guide and applying/understanding it.
I agree that survival is over-rated and having fun is under-rated xD
Good point. Starting out on the rim (same when you continue when you were rimmed) taught me that it was so bloody easy to maintain yourself and grow. Many barbs to farm, weak targets to noble. Also quite amusing to check your map and see so much distance between all your villages. It requires you to use different tactics when fighting active rimplayers. Deception is very important :icon_twisted:.
I've started W23 in the rim recently and I will be conducting a new personal experiment. I'll be playing simcity basicaly, nobling anything that comes in my sight and building it up. I'll be very defensive. I reckon that in a few months, I will reach a very high density of villages and I will become a nuissance to noble. Although I am in K60. Not really many people to noble me there that know what they're actually doing:icon_razz:
