I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

I assume sometimes that's indeed the case, but like it was said before, even in this thread, water maps enforce variety and adoption. It's a strategy game, in the end :!:

I play Russia and always drop my blockhouse on their second hunt and start herding it away. Standard play . I mean what else will Russia do?

That early counterherding as china should be pretty uneffective due to chinas age up time and the fact that your opponent can send 2 vills and his explorer to snare to kill your villager.

Bringing vills to such fights is not the most ideal choice, I have to say :hmm:

We should know the meaning of "cheat"
Its adding 3rd part program to the game or changing game mechanics for personal profits. Other than that all is LEGAL

well in my opinion alt d is perfectly legal. It's not as though your explorer goes back exactly the way he was. He does get reduced LOS
