Reading this thread it sounds like Brit players don't have any army... He only needs to kill 1-2 infantry units while you siege to come out as a winner.

Let's assume it will cost you 2 pikes to kill a house:

Scenario 1:
- Brit is population capped. He will build a new house because of it. You lose roughly the same amount of resources. Your pikes are gone forever, but his 2 villagers will keep gathering resources.

Scenario 2:
- Brit has plenty of houses, he doesn't rebuild. He still has the villager from the house gathering resources, while your pikes are gone forever.

Every house is a trained villager and you're practically giving him a second TC to build villagers, because you both spend the same resources, but he's getting a villager, and you get nothing.

But yeah, if there are free houses - why not?

No, not necessarily. Lots of brit players build manors in unsafe locations for LOS.

Yea, I used to deleted my shrines before they got killed. It's even better if there's someone obsing since he will get part of the exp, which means that the aztec player will get half of the exp instead of x3, but that's almost cheating tbh.

It's kinda like killing your hero by shooting at treasure guardian when chased by opponent. Except in this case your opponent gets some xp (not double or triple and that's good tbh)

Deleting your shrines is fine, but abusing the obs mod is cheating.

Its definitely bm to intentionally delete stuff in obs unless its a callen rage delete.

While its not cheating to do it in a normal game, japan shouldnt be able to delete their shrines after they are built, tbh. But in fact its actually kinda a big oversight in general, as its not just japan, but basically any other civ that plays vs aztec. Lose a wonder? Just delete. Etc

Mine is based on truth, yours is just a lie. Besides, who are you calling boy, crybaby.

Yours is based on some evidence, so is mine. But my statement could be more true than yours even with less evidence. Note that.

If I'm a crybaby then you're a super-frozen, forgotten semen sample at a fertility clinic, biding time to die.

Could. Would. Should. All words one would expect to emanate from such an impotent mind.

Maybe I am worthless and waiting to die. But at least I am aligned to my fate and I know my cause. You are unhappy and lost in the face of the abundance life has thrown upon you. That's the true sad story here.

Now fite me!

I would "fite" you but it is not my mind which is impotent, nay, but my body which, even in the throe of lust, forsakes me.

For as much as I wish us to "fite" I must decline and save myself the embarrassment.

It is as I expected. Men are weak. And now I can say, I was there when the blood of Men failed. They stood, eye in eye with challenge, and crumbled fearfully instead of meeting head on, perhaps even overcoming, their fate.

Alas, Middle earth is doomed if we must rely upon such saviours.
