Let me ask you a question Jamm (and I won't call you "my friend", since I am certain that would offend you). Why do you find the idea of turtling (which, since EVERY round I consistently grow I do not consider myself to be in the classic sense) so offensive? Let us take this round, for example. I started 10 hours late, and found my village placed DIRECTLY between the rank 1 player at the time (you) and the rank 5 player at the time (who you proceeded to noble as your first or second conquest). IF I had not gone completely defensive -- how long would I have lasted -- considering that I have chosen to play solo, since I prefer it?
Now, let us fast-forward to just yesterday. There I am, poor little turtle, surrounded by 8 Gauls villages in my immediate 13 x 13 -- and scouted several times by them, including you. My score was such that the morale for attacking and nobling me would have been inconsequential -- and yet you didn't. Why? Well, I doubt it is because of your true love and devotion! Rather -- you provided the answer yourself -- I MADE MYSELF UNPROFITABLE. THAT is what a solo player HAS to do, to have ANY sort of chance of either success or survival. Could you have taken me? CERTAINLY -- and easily. Did you? No. I simply wasn't worth it.
This does not make me a great player -- far from it. Unlike you, I have NEVER, EVER claimed to be even a GOOD player -- to anyone. I play the way I do because I prefer it, and because I enjoy at least being moderately successful in most of the rounds I play while still going against the grain. I humbly apologize for not providing you an easy target -- but I play the way I prefer to play, and make no claims to greatness. Unlike you, I do not find Tribal Wars to be a career. Rather, I find it to be an amusement. I am sorry if you have difficulty dealing with that.
